Li Guangyu, who returned to Xiangjiang from Guocheng, still went to work in the Wheelock Building office on time every day as he had in recent years. On weekends, he and Cao Weiqing went to He Zuozhi or Cao Wenjin's house to have dinner and chat about home affairs.
It’s a pity that the United States can live such a happy life for so long. At around two o’clock in the morning on September 12th, Hong Kong time, Li Guangyu was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. Zhou Zhigang, the head of the Lee Foundation’s North American affairs, reported a shocking news to him.
Li Guangyu himself was a little confused. 9-11 was still the same 9-11, but the time was moved forward by a year.
Fortunately, because of Li Guangyu's request, the New York office of the Lee Consortium avoided the building that was hit, so there was not much damage to the Lee Consortium this time.
However, there is some chaos in the United States. You must know that this is the year of the US presidential election. The presidential candidates of the two parties have come out last month. Now is a critical period for the competition between the two parties. We are waiting for the referendum to begin in November. Now
If something like this happens suddenly, I wonder if this presidential election will go ahead as usual, and whether George W. Bush will lose his chance to take office.
Li Guangyu told Zhou Zhigang that everything should be business as usual, and it could not affect him so far.
Li Guangyu knew that senior officials in many places could not sleep today, especially in Asia. It was already late at night and everyone had to weigh the possible impact of this incident.
Although the EU is also relatively strong in this generation, there is no doubt that the United States is still the only super hegemon, and no one can shake its position yet.
This time, there is actually a force attacking the United States, and it is still in the United States. No matter what, the United States will take action. A war is coming. Where will the United States target? This is a question that countless forces need to think about.
…
The next morning, there was no report on this aspect in Xiangjiang because the newspapers had already been printed. However, on major TV stations and major portal websites, the 9-11 incident was already the headline news, and there were various comments.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Guangyu held a special meeting of the Lee Group's senior management in the second conference hall on the second floor of Wheelock Building, mainly to discuss the 9-11 issue.
At the meeting, Gan Qin introduced the current situation in the United States to senior officials and also described possible next steps.
Li Guangyu said: "The impact this time is not small. The United States will definitely take action. A war is inevitable. What we have to do now is to figure out where the US target is, and we can also take preventive measures to prevent our own losses.
Reduce to minimum.
And Bentley Island is not allowed to get involved this time, it has nothing to do with us this time, there is no need for us to spend money to cause trouble."
If Li Guangyu's estimate is correct, the United States will still put the blame on the Taliban and Al Qaeda this time, as it did in its previous life. In the past few years, the United States has been trying to attack the Taliban, and this time it has simply handed the knife to their hands.
After something like this happened, the American people would not oppose the government's war.
Li Guangyu knew very well that this war was a money-losing war, far from being compared with the Gulf War. Li Guangyu also gained a lot in that time. Husky Energy Company obtained several oil fields in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which have provided Li family with great benefits over the years.
The syndicate brought in countless profits.
As for whether the EU countries will participate, this is not something he can limit. If he tries to persuade the EU to be neutral, I am afraid that the United States will blame him for this incident. It is better to stay out of these nosy matters.
Du Yonghong responded: "Li Sheng, we have every reason to shirk this time. Most of Bentley Island's troops are currently stationed in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia and other countries. There are simply no extra personnel to fight."
There are relatively few armed personnel left on Bentley Island, and there is not much need there. If a big force really attacks Bentley Island, they will not be able to defend it.
Du Yonghong didn't know what the person who carried out 9-11 was thinking. He felt happy for a moment. Tens of millions of people were implicated because of it. No torture he planned to use would be excessive.
Li Guangyu said aloud: "Affected by the U.S. stock market, the Hong Kong Exchange, Baodao Exchange and Bentley Island Exchange will all experience a period of decline. Major companies have seized the opportunity to acquire a number of listings that are closely related to their own companies.
Regarding the company's shares, Tianyu Investment is well prepared to protect the market and cannot allow several major stock markets to halve."
After the incident in the United States, several major stock markets in the United States fell sharply, especially the Internet industry. Now it is even worse.
The Asian market opened in red today, and the Hang Seng Index continues to fall.
Li Guangyu knew very well that the impact this time would not be too great, and the stock market would recover soon. When the stock market fell, he would both protect the market and hunt for the bottom, and he would be able to reap good profits when the stock market rebounded.
Tianyu Investment Company now has as much as 120 billion US dollars in cash, and Li Guangyu has 200 billion US dollars in reserve. It can still achieve the goal of boosting the Hong Kong stock market.
Now no force dares to attack the Xiangjiang Exchange or the Baodao and Bentley Island Exchanges. They all know that Li Guangyu has a huge amount of cash in his hands, and anyone who comes in is seeking death.
This guy's cash reserves are really scary. It is estimated that only a few major families in the United States have such reserves. After all, the other party uses US dollars.
When Li Guangyu held the meeting, various forces in Asia were also discussing the matter.
The Hong Kong stock market also suffered heavy losses due to the influence of the United States. Many securities companies continued to receive calls from customers asking them to sell their stocks as soon as possible.
The United States acted very quickly this time. The FBI released the news in less than a week, claiming that the incident was planned and caused by the Taliban and Al Qaeda. They had obtained definite evidence, and also listed a series of people and asked the Taliban to
and al Qaeda to hand over these personnel.
At the same time, the American media has also begun to build momentum. Everyone in the know knows that the United States is going to take action against the Taliban. Now it is just waiting for the Taliban to reply within a time limit. Once the time is up, the war will begin.
The United States is already mobilizing troops and communicating with many countries. Zhang Ziyu also rushed back to England to attend the meeting to discuss this issue.
However, this time was not like the Gulf War. Zhang Ziyu refused directly this time and refused to cooperate with the British in sending troops due to lack of troops.
The British had nothing to do about this. After all, except for diplomacy, Bentley Island was autonomous. The British military did not pay any military expenses to the Bentley Island troops, and the Bentley Island troops did not have to obey British orders.
The British are more powerful in this life. This time they will not become the followers of the United States. The British will only arrange for the air force to participate. As for local troops, that is the business of the United States. They will not let their troops suffer casualties in the past.
If it weren't for NATO's rules, the British Air Force wouldn't be willing to send it this time.
You must know that the Middle East was once the sphere of influence of the British, but now it has basically become the sphere of influence of the United States. The British are very unhappy about this.
The European Union this time mainly relies on air force support, and mainly relies on American soldiers on the ground. They are unwilling to get involved in this.
The United States will grit its teeth no matter what this time. This is not only an explanation to the people, but also a deterrent to Western Europe, Japan and South Korea. Now its allies have the intention to break away from it. If they don't fight back this time,
I'm just afraid that I will really become a loner in the future.
