rebirth of cataclysm

"Mr. Schulz, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me. I really don't know what to say. All in all, I will remember your help and kindness." Hu Mingchen held on to the railing of the garden on the second floor and looked out.

Looking at the green Lake Michigan in the distance.

Next to Hu Mingchen, Schultz was sitting on a chair under a parasol, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

This small garden facing Lake Michigan is where Mr. Schultz settled in Chicago. Super rich people like Schultz come and go across the United States all year round, so in many domestic big companies

In cities, private properties are built so that hotels can be avoided.

Ordinary people may think that staying in a hotel is a good thing, but for many rich people, they actually hate hotels. They feel that they are far less comfortable than living in their own homes, and the privacy is not bad.

In the past, Schultz's private properties were mainly in North America and Europe. Now, after cooperating with Pengbo Electronics Group, it has also begun to arrange some of its own places in China. Next time he goes to China, he will probably not stay in a hotel.

Don't think that what people like them do is squandering or pursuing enjoyment. In fact, it is much more than that. What they do is purely an investment and a kind of asset protection.

In other words, these real estate properties all over the world can be regarded as real estate investments. In addition to being provided for your own use, they can also maintain and increase their value. Even if your business goes bankrupt one day, at least you can still live a happy life for yourself and your family with these increased real estate properties.

A life without worries about food and clothing.

Schultz took a sip of coffee, then placed the coffee cup on the crystal table in front of him. He raised his head and glanced at Hu Mingchen: "Mr. Hu, you and I are friends. Since you took the initiative to contact me, if I am indifferent

, then I’m too cold-shouldered.”

Hu Mingchen turned around, walked back and sat down next to Schultz: "Yes, we are friends, and I am very lucky to have a friend like you who I have made for many years."

"Actually, if I simply rescue your sister, you will be fine even if you don't come to the United States. I can find someone to help you rescue her." Schultz stretched his legs and lightly tapped the crystal table with his left hand.

"Thank you, thank you. If I didn't come, I wouldn't be worried. Besides, it's very valuable that you can do something that is not in compliance with the regulations in order to help me. If I let you take risks again, I will be very sorry." Hu Mingchen

Put your hands together in a sincere salute.

Schultz smiled and then waved his hand: "Violate the laws? Oh no, how could I do that? I am a law-abiding citizen and a law-abiding businessman. I will not do anything illegal.

"

Schulz smiled purely and easily, as if he was truly an upright and selfless person.

Hu Mingchen was a little stunned. What? You never do anything that violates laws and regulations? Am I wrong because I have a bad ear, or am I a bad brain and can't understand? You are too hypocritical, right?

"Mr. Hu, don't look at me so puzzled and curious. Do you think I'm lying?" Schultz asked Hu Mingchen with a soothing smile.

There was no way, Hu Mingchen wrote almost everything in his heart on his face, and Schultz had a hard time understanding it.

"No, I didn't think you were offended by your lies... It's just that, didn't Miss Anna say that you arranged for someone to help me eavesdrop on that mobile phone number? Is this still legal in your country?" Hu Mingchen

He quickly put away the trace of ridicule on his face, shook his head, and asked seriously.

"Oh, so it's this..." Schultz took another sip of coffee, and then said relaxedly and confidently: "I don't do this kind of thing, nor does our company do it.

What does it matter? In the United States, everything is governed by law, and what I do is basically checked by lawyers for me. In other words, from a legal perspective, I have not violated any principles. So I said

I have never violated any laws."

When Schultz said this, Hu Mingchen suddenly understood.

After all, Schultz is taking advantage of legal loopholes. He will not be directly involved in anything, and will not leave any tail for himself.

As he said, because most things have been sorted out by lawyers, some things do sound inappropriate, but when he quotes the law, he is right. This is because of such a situation, so he studies the law all day long.

Lawyers are a high-paying profession in the United States. Everyone, especially those rich, cannot do without the services of lawyers. Rich people have their own private lawyers who specialize in providing legal services.

In movies and popular culture, it seems that the United States is a country with correct values ​​and a country of civilians, but in fact this is not the case.

The division of class society in the United States is actually quite clear. The top upper class and ordinary civilians are basically the Chu-He-Han boundary, which is difficult to cross.

Take the laws made for everyone, they may be fair in form, but in fact, because the upper class has enough funds to obtain legal services, they basically will not violate the laws made by the same elite class.

, on the contrary, the lower class society suffers greatly in this regard and is controlled and restricted by complicated laws.

In this country with overcrowded prisons, 99.9% of the prisoners belong to the poor class. Even if some people do not have to go to jail, they cannot afford the high bail, let alone find a good lawyer.

I filed a lawsuit against myself.

I remember a Harvard scholar said that among the one hundred laws in the United States, ninety are designated for the poor. Regardless of whether it is the Senate or the House of Representatives, those with voting rights represent the elite. How can they

Maybe he would take the initiative to tie his own hands and feet?

Now Schultz's words have given Hu Mingchen a new understanding of what this scholar said. Maybe this scholar wants to say that as long as you are rich enough, you can do whatever you want in the United States.

"Mr. Schultz, now I understand why so many rich people are willing to immigrate to the United States." Hu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha, because this is a paradise for the rich. Our lives and rights are guaranteed in various ways. Here, as long as you have enough money, both black and white will serve you. What? You are also interested in immigrating

If you want, I can help you at any time." Schultz smiled happily, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement.

"No, no, sir, you misunderstood. I have no intention of immigrating. I will only have one motherland in this life. No matter how good it is outside, I will only live in my country. What's more, my motherland

It is great in itself, and the life of each of us will become more and more secure." Hu Mingchen quickly refused.

Hu Mingchen's refusal was not a polite refusal, but a very firm one. In addition, he also solemnly stated that he was a patriot and he would not choose like other rich people.

Hu Mingchen's self-confidence is not only emotional, but also comes from history and reality.

"Oh, that's a pity..." As soon as Schulz said this, Miss Anna came out of the room holding a folder.

Miss Anna stood behind Schulz and bent slightly: "Sir, there is news from outside that the actual location of that number is in Manhattan."

"Manhattan?" Hu Mingchen and Schultz asked in unison.

"Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. It is indeed Manhattan, but this Manhattan is not New York. It is a community. It is not far from Will County. It is next to the nature reserve. It is relatively remote. There is only one road to get there.

." Miss Anna was awakened by Hu Mingchen and Schultz's surprise, and quickly made a new explanation.

"Oh, I thought it was New York. That would be a little more troublesome." Schultz nodded.

"Miss Anna, can you have a specific map?" Hu Mingchen asked after feeling relieved.

"There is a map." As he spoke, Miss Anna pulled out a map from the folder. He did not hand it to Hu Mingchen, but first handed it to Schultz.

Miss Anna made it very clear that Hu Mingchen was just a guest, and Schultz was her boss. So she only provided the information to the boss. As for how the boss used it, that was his business.

Schultz glanced at the map and then pushed it in front of Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen impatiently picked up the map and found that it was a floor plan of a community. Among them, a special dot was marked with a pen on the location of a house. If anyone else had obtained this map, it would have been

I didn't know what it meant, but when Hu Mingchen saw that dot, he knew what it meant.

"Mr. Hu, in the United States, there are some intermediaries that specialize in handling this kind of matter. You have two options. One is to call the police and let the police handle it. But since you are a foreigner, I'm afraid this won't go smoothly.

The second step is to pay an intermediary to handle it. Those people are very powerful. You can use money to do things without worry and peace of mind. What choice do you make?" Schultz raised his eyelids and stared at Hu Mingchen and asked.

"As you said, if I go to the police with my identity, I'm afraid the police will not take it seriously, and may even leak the information to the gangsters. As for finding an intermediary... I haven't thought about it for the time being. Now that I'm here,

Then I plan to handle it myself." Hu Mingchen pondered for a moment and said, "It's just... I came in the name of a business inspection, and you also provided me with a guarantee. I'm afraid that if something happens to me, I will

It will hurt you."

"You are overthinking. As long as you are not engaged in terrorist activities, you will not implicate me. I am just worried about you. Those people may be very different from what you knew before." Schultz waved his hand and said very

The Tao of indifference.
