The secret transactions between Shi Zhijian, the Big Three Fred, and Mayor Paul can be described as "each getting what he needs."
Shi Zhijian received a car order worth 500 million and raised 500 million in funds, totaling 1 billion!
Fred got the government's bus reform project and had more bus routes. With the help of Shi Zhijian, Siemens Group can easily open up the Asian market, especially the Hong Kong market, in the future.
As for Mayor Paul, he was about to step down during this overt and covert struggle, but because he stood with the people on the same front, he became what people call a "big hero". For this reason, he gained extremely high approval rates in the following days, and soon
Reid did not break his promise and recommended him to enter the capital through his connections and become a member of Congress. He could even compete for the top job in the future.
It can be said that in this battlefield without smoke, Shi Zhijian, as an outsider, dominated everything and changed the rules of the game.
Under his leadership, Shinhwa Car Company has laid a solid foundation in Germany.
…
Christmas in the West usually runs from December 22nd to January 5th of the next year.
Today is January 3, 1973, which means Christmas is not over yet.
Before leaving Germany, Shi Zhijian did as the Romans did and spent the end of Christmas at John Schumacher's house. Moreover, in addition to being the president of Shinhwa Group and John's immediate boss, Shi Zhijian was also the "worker" of the future "car god" Schumacher Jr.
father".
Westerners celebrate Christmas much like Chinese people celebrate Spring Festival. This is also a deep-rooted tradition. No matter poor or rich, everyone will spend a sum of money on Christmas to decorate a Christmas tree and hang all kinds of Christmas gifts on the tree.
Children's favorite thing to do is to hide stockings by the bedside and wait for Santa Claus to deliver gifts to them at night.
In addition to this gift, you can "guess the blind box" on the Christmas tree at the home of relatives and friends to see who is lucky, take off the wrapped small gift box, and open it to see what is inside.
As an invitee, Shi Zhijian came specially with gifts. Unlike Chinese people, Westerners must give expensive machines to show their true feelings.
When Westerners visit friends, the most common thing they give is red wine. Simply bring a bottle of red wine, and everyone can sit down and taste it together, eating Christmas turkey, dipped in salsa and caviar, which is really full of atmosphere.
When Shi Zhijian visited John's house this time, in addition to a bottle of Bordeaux red wine, he also gave Schumacher a "longevity lock" made of gold.
The longevity lock is as big as a child's hand and is heavy. It's heavy at first glance.
John held it in his hand and didn't know whether to accept it.
"You'd better accept it, I know you Westerners don't easily accept expensive gifts from others! But I am little Schumacher's godfather, and the gifts from our godfather in China can't be too shabby, they have to be worth it!"
After hearing what Shi Zhijian said, John and his wife put away the precious "longevity lock".
Especially after John's wife understood the meaning of this "longevity lock", she was even more grateful to Shi Zhijian.
The human touch between Westerners was relatively weak, but what Shi Zhijian gave them was very strong.
Shi Zhijian walked into the living room, took off his coat and handed it to Ax Jun, looking around with his hands behind his back.
However, I saw that although the room was small, it was very warmly decorated, especially the Christmas tree in the middle, which was twinkling with small light bulbs and was really beautiful.
At this moment, little Schumacher and three friends were gathering around the Christmas tree to pick the gifts wrapped on it.
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was fascinated, John suddenly seemed to think of something and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, are you interested in picking up a gift too?"
"Uh, isn't this bad?" Shi Zhijian looked at the children having fun and felt a little embarrassed as an adult.
As soon as he finished speaking, little Schumacher ran over and threw himself into Shi Zhijian's arms: "Godfather! Godfather! Just pick one! Maybe you can pick a car and give it to me then!"
It turned out that in order to reward the children, John bought an expensive toy car as a gift, and then used paper strips to replace the car and hung it on the Christmas tree, but the children picked several and found nothing.
Little Schumacher was very greedy, but he couldn't pick it himself - his chance had run out, so he had to pray to Shi Zhijian for help.
Shi Zhijian picked up little Schumacher and said, "Even if I try, I may not be able to pick it? Look, there are so many presents on this Christmas tree!"
"Just try it, please!" Schumacher wiped Shi Zhijian's chin with his little face.
Shi Zhijian was helpless, "Okay, I'll give it a try!"
After saying that, he carried little Schumacher and walked to the Christmas tree. He took a look at the gifts wrapped in colored paper. The gifts were all small boxes of the same size. There were notes stuffed inside the small boxes. You couldn't tell what was written inside.
What.
"Daddy, you choose this one, this one is better!"
"No, no, no, let's pick that one!"
Little Schumacher pointed at this, then at that, and finally sighed: "Forget it! You choose your godfather!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, pointed at the small gifts and said: "If you let me choose, then I will - choose this!"
Shi Zhijian pointed at a small purple box.
"Okay, that's it!" Little Schumacher slipped out of Shi Zhijian's arms, then ran forward and took off the small purple box, eager to open it.
The three friends also came over to watch.
One said: "It can't be that accurate!"
Another said: "Yeah, your godfather is not God!"
The last one said: "If you win, we will call you boss from now on!"
As soon as the words fell——
Little Shuma suddenly jumped up and said: "It's a hit! It's a hit! It's a car!" He danced happily.
The three friends were all dumbfounded.
"Can this also hit?"
"How did he do it?"
The children looked at Shi Zhijian together!
"Tsk, eight or nine are blind!"
"Yes, yes, you must be deceived, or why is it so accurate?"
The three little guys tilted their heads and looked at Shi Zhijian.
"I want chocolates, can you pick one for me if you can?"
said a little boy.
Shi Zhijian smiled, pointed at the Christmas tree, and finally pointed at a gift box and said, "That's it!"
The little boy hurriedly took the small gift box off the Christmas tree, opened it, and was stunned!
"Oh my god, it's really chocolate!"
The children looked at Shi Zhijian again!
At this moment, Shi Zhijian was more godly than God in their eyes!
"Uncle, I want a small pistol! Guess one for me!"
"Uncle, I want a laser sword!"
The children jumped around Shi Zhijian.
A moment——
After the children received their beloved gifts one by one, they dispersed.
John walked over and winked at Shi Zhijian, "How about it, dear boss, isn't it fun to be the king of kids?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "If you hadn't been there to guide me, how could I have guessed it right?"
John laughed, and then invited Shi Zhijian to sit down in the restaurant. His wife had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for Shi Zhijian.
Over there, Ax Jun was entangled by the children.
"That Chinese uncle is very good at guessing things. What about you?" the children asked Jundao Axe.
Ax Jun couldn't understand what they were saying and frowned.
"Uncle Muscle, why don't you speak? Are you deaf-mute?" A child asked innocently, raising his little head.
Ax Jun's brows furrowed even more.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
This time it was the children's turn to be stunned. They couldn't understand Axejun's Chinese either.
At this time, a naughty child ran up behind Ax Jun. He saw two axes on Ax Jun's waist and reached out to pull them out!
"Don't move!" Ax Jun quickly stopped him.
The naughty child was startled.
Seeing that the other party was about to cry out of fear, Ax Jun quickly pulled out his ax and said, "I'll perform an acrobatic trick for you!"
The two axes were thrown left and right in the hands and caught in a fancy way!
"Okay!" the children clapped.
Ax Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "There will be more exciting things to come!"
He put the ax behind his waist again and took out the playing cards he carried with him. Clatter, the playing cards were circling in his hand like a long dragon!
Not to mention the children, even John and his wife were stunned by this move.
"Did you see that?" Shi Zhijian looked at the astonished John and his wife, "That one is the real king of children!"
"Ahem, do you want to invite Arjun to come over for dinner?" John's wife asked.
"He won't come over." Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "It's useless even if you invite him! He has always adhered to his duties as a bodyguard and never ate at the same table as me! But -" Shi Zhijian paused, "I had already
He thinks of him as family!”
When John and his wife heard what Shi Zhijian said, they looked at Ax Jun again who was performing "stunts" for the children. For the first time, they felt that this cool man was actually very attractive.
"I made this Christmas turkey myself. Dear Mr. Shi, please try it!" John's wife smiled and cut a piece of turkey with a knife and put it on Shi Zhijian's plate.
John opened the red wine and poured a glass for Shi Zhijian.
The TV was also turned on and the news was being broadcast.
Shi Zhijian and Mr. and Mrs. John enjoyed Christmas dinner very warmly.
Suddenly, an important news item was broadcast on the TV.
John exclaimed, "Oh God!"
Shi Zhijian looked sideways at the TV and saw a female announcer reporting some news. She was speaking in German, which Shi Zhijian could not understand.
Shi Zhijian looked at John.
John hurriedly explained in English: "She was interrupting the French news. Today the French Parliament passed a resolution, the French Bank Act!"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Zhijian suddenly remembered something and looked at the TV!
Sure enough, when the German girl was broadcasting, the camera switched to the French Parliament, and the noisy parliament was raising their hands to vote on something.
In this era, Europe pays attention to integration. Whenever big news occurs in any country, it will be reported on the international channels of other countries.
And this time the "French Bank Bill" is not a big news!
When John and his wife saw this bill passed, they just sighed. The French people on TV didn't seem to take this bill that seriously. Only Shi Zhijian knew that France was about to change!
…
History often changes direction due to a seemingly insignificant detail.
On January 3, 1973, in the previous time and space, the French National Assembly voted to pass a law: the "Banking Law." At that time, the French media had no interest in this and did not even consider it to be a piece of "news" worth mentioning.
However, in the future, this law will cause fierce controversy in French academic and political circles. More and more experts realize that it is this seemingly insignificant law that caused the French country to lose its financial sovereignty, thus making France debt-ridden...
Until the 1970s, France was one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world. But today France is overwhelmed by heavy debt. The country's total debt reaches 1.8703 billion euros, accounting for 1% of France's GDP.
91.7%. The per capita debt is as high as 66,508 euros. The French economy has been dragged into recession by debt, and the long-term unemployed population has exceeded 3 million.
How did France fall to this point? Is it really due to the "welfare society" as the mainstream French academic circles say, which ultimately led to the emergence of today's astronomical national debt? This is completely a deliberate misleading, and the purpose is to conceal France's national financial sovereignty
The thrilling facts of what changed hands.
France's loss of national financial sovereignty is a long historical process, the key point of which is the bill passed on January 3, 1973, known as the "Pompidou-Rothschild Law" in history. The introduction of this bill completely changed the
The structure of the relationship between the French state and financial institutions.
From the beginning of this act, the financial structure of the French state was changed.
In the past, the country could borrow money from the French Central Bank at an interest rate of less than 1%. But after this law was passed, it became "the French Central Bank lends money to private banks at an interest rate of 1%, and the private banks then lend money at an interest rate of 4%."
"Lending money to the state at an interest rate of %". According to research by economics and finance scholar Pierre-Yves Rougeron in his book "Investigation of the Law of January 3, 1973", this extra part
Extra interest is the source of France's huge debt today.
For Shi Zhijian, after seeing this news, what he saw was the ghost hiding behind the "Banking Act"-the Rothschild family!
Shi Zhijian and Donny Rothschild are rivals. The purpose of Shi Zhijian's trip to Europe is to raise funds to compete with Donny Rothschild in the stock market!
Obviously, although Shi Zhijian's trip to Germany was very successful, it still cannot change the historical trajectory. The Downey family's layout in France has taken effect!
Such a "Banking Act" alone has allowed the Rothschild family represented by Downey to choke the French National Bank. In the future, it will provide him with a steady stream of funds. It is very difficult for Shi Zhijian to defeat him in the stock market!
To be precise, if Shi Zhijian challenges Downey Rothschild now, it would be tantamount to challenging "history"!
So now the problem arises!
Now that he knows Downey's plan in France, does Shi Zhijian still want to go to France now?
Is it going against the current?
Or is it wise to protect yourself?
That night, after Shi Zhijian was a guest at John's house, he returned to the hotel under the protection of Ax Jun.
That night Axe Jun found that Shi Zhijian stayed up all night, smoking a cigarette and seeming to be thinking about something until dawn.
"Ah Jun!" Shi Zhijian suddenly called Ax Jun in the early morning.
"What's the matter, Mr. Shi?"
"You pack your luggage, we are going to France in the next few days!"
