Rebirth: My 80s

The Lancang earthquake touched the hearts of every Chinese citizen, and Li Jiankun felt even more heavy-hearted.

Because he had experienced this era, he knew about this disaster in advance. When he was dealing with the literature, he had carefully reviewed the historical events he remembered from 1988, and information about this earthquake emerged in his mind.

But he didn't know what to do with this natural disaster that was beyond human control.

So I didn’t think much about it at the time.

Looking back now, he realizes that he could have done something.

Even if the relief supplies were prepared in advance, it would have saved the lives of many compatriots.

However, he did not do it.

He's such a selfish bastard!

"Master, there's good news from Mr. Sun. Shall we go out for dinner tonight?"

Li Jiankun, who was standing by the phone in the living room, waved his hand and said, "You and Fugui go."

Miduko looked at Fugui and shrugged helplessly.

The two were destined to be unable to empathize with his feelings.

Jingle Bell!

Li Jiankun moved his back away from the beige leather sofa and reached out to pick up the white microphone from the glass coffee table.

Unexpectedly, the call was not from Ran Zi or Bai Lu.

The signal comes from across the ocean.

"Master, Judy Rockefeller has disappeared."

"disappear?"

"Well, one thing is for sure, it's no longer in the United States."

Li Jiankun remembered the three-month agreement with Peggy Dulany, which had already expired, so was this disappearance good news or bad news?

At this time, Liu Jingyan on the other end of the phone continued: "David's daughter wants to see you. She said she knows you. She asked me to confirm whether you have been in Japan in the past few days. She will come to find you."

Da da da……

Li Jiankun tapped the glass surface of the coffee table with his left hand, which was not holding the microphone: "Let her come over."

……

……

At the Trust Bank's head office in Japan, Li Jiankun met Peggy Dulany again.

The woman looked tired and seemed several years older than when they first met a few months ago.

Dai Rui asked his secretary to bring him a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, then left the lounge and closed the door quietly.

Peggy, who was sitting on a single-seat fabric sofa, picked up a white porcelain coffee cup and said respectfully, "Congratulations on making another big investment."

Although she was smiling when she said this, the emotions on her face were quite complicated.

No one can measure this young man's future.

In just a few months, he personally launched a chip trade war and defeated all enemies. The tremendous sense of oppression he brought made the state apparatus breathless.

The Batumi alliance was thus broken up.

Even countries that are more powerful than the United States have to tactfully avoid its edge.

He even had time to take action and deal with a cult leader with three million followers.

Before we knew it, he appeared in Japan again and made the country's economy develop according to his wishes.

It must be admitted that he is already a person who has the ability to influence and even control the world.

Li Jiankun picked up the teacup and clinked it with hers in the air, but did not drink it. He put it back on the walnut coffee table in front of him, and then pretended to be waiting for what to happen next.

"There is no such thing as Judy Rockefeller anymore."

Li Jiankun said bluntly: "I don't believe it."

"She will never be seen in public again. You will never see her again."

"But she's still alive."

Li Jiankun snorted coldly: "What is this? Hiding her from me and not letting me find her, will this debt be paid off?"

"I tried my best, sir."

Li Jiankun's expression eased a little: "I can see that. I appreciate your efforts. You should just ignore this matter. Let's put aside her attempt to kill me for now."

Li Jiankun pointed to the ceiling:

"The souls killed by her will not agree."

Peggy said: "But the dead are dead. Even if Judy dies, they will not come back to life."

“But they can rest in peace.”

Peggy hesitated and said, "My family has already bowed, so you can't--"

"Ah!"

Li Jiankun interrupted her with a sneer, stared at her and asked, "So you also think that your family has done well to this extent and has done its utmost?"

Peggy's lips moved, but before she could respond, Li Jiankun shouted angrily:

"joke!

"Anywhere on this planet, if you kill someone, you must pay for it.

"Why should I be treated specially when I come to your family?

"She killed eight people, only to be allowed to change her name and move to another place to continue to enjoy a prosperous life. Is she the daughter of God?!"

Li Jiankun was furious.

Although he also knew that there was never absolute fairness in this world.

Although he has encountered such injustice many times.

But today, he will no longer allow such a thing to happen in his world.

Otherwise, what is the point of his never-ending steps since his rebirth?

"That was not what I meant."

Peggy said: "There is one more thing I can do. I will visit the families of the victims one by one and do everything I can to ask for their forgiveness. If I can do that, you..."

"You can't do it."

Li Jiankun stared at her: "I will never be able to ask for my forgiveness on behalf of Judy."

Peggy's eyes dimmed.

This is the situation she is most worried about.

The dead are gone and cannot be reborn, but the living have to continue living. As for the families of the deceased, she believes that it is only a matter of time before they are forgiven if she apologizes sincerely and provides them with a good material life.

And the person in front of me.

Not to mention her, even her family didn't know how to apologize.

To be honest, she didn't know how much assets the family had, but she was sure of one thing: the liquid funds of their entire family were not as much as the person in front of her.

Her father told her that Jack Lee had at least 150 billion US dollars in liquid funds.

This is cash flow that is difficult for anyone in the real industry to accumulate.

He can have all the material enjoyments on this planet if he wants.

Yes, her family is willing to apologize and make Judy disappear, which is the specific form.

At first, she actually encountered obstacles in her work.

No matter what, family members always protect each other.

But too many things have happened in the past few months, and Jack Lee's growth has frightened many people in the family.

Samsung Semiconductor was destroyed as he predicted, and Wenxianming's entire family was wiped out.

Some members of the family were shaken.

Batumi was disbanded, the US technology community was in chaos, and Washington was forced to give in.

Another part of the family was shaken.

He successfully predicted that Japan's economy would collapse.

Her father talked to her.

The next day Judy disappeared and no one knew where she went.

Peggy bit her lip and said, "So what do you want?"

"beat!"

"I'm not arrogant. My family has been around for nearly a hundred years. If you start a war, both sides will suffer. Is it worth it?"

Li Jiankun got up from the sofa, slowly walked to the windowsill, and opened a gap in the aluminum alloy window.

The chill of early winter came in through the window.

He lit a cigarette and said without turning his head:

“You have two questions.

"Let me answer your last question first. After committing those crimes, if Judy can still live happily in this world and continue to enjoy glory, then theoretically speaking, my remaining life, which is longer than hers, will never be happy.

“I can’t help it, I’m just such a petty person.

“As for what you said about both sides suffering losses.

"My business in the United States can be withdrawn at any time now, with all due respect."

Li Jiankun turned around and exhaled a light white mist:

"What can your family do to me?"

Peggy also stood up from the sofa and stared into his eyes: "Others may not know, but you must know. My family is not just my family. If you want to destroy it, there will be people who will not agree.

"You can't beat them!"

"You know, there's one thing I'm really thankful for."

Li Jiankun puffed slowly on his cigarette and said, "I was born in China.

"I have a pure land that has not been polluted by them as my base.

"My motherland is no longer as weak as it was a hundred years ago. In the 1960s, my ancestors set off two brilliant fireworks in the northwest desert. Anyone who wants to attract our attention will have to think twice.

"I am like my country, I have nothing to fear.

"Just let them come."

Paige's eyes widened in shock.

I never expected that he would be so determined.

"So, what can you do to my family?"

Li Jiankun glanced at her without saying anything, then walked back to the sofa and sat down again. He reached out and took the white landline phone on the coffee table and dialed an international number.

Not long after, the call was answered.

"elder brother?"

Li Jiankun replied in Chinese, "It's me," and then switched to English and ordered, "Start the plan, drive Mobil out of Hong Kong City."

Hey!

Peggy's eyes widened. They were going to deal with their family's pillar industry with just one move?

"You can't do this!" she said quickly.

Li Jiankun hung up the phone and tilted his head to look at her: "Why?"

"Without Mobil, the oil price in Hong Kong will definitely rise sharply, and even in the whole of Southeast Asia!

"The people in these places cannot agree to this!"

Mobil is the largest supplier of oil and gas resources in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong, as almost the best free port in Southeast Asia, is the core of Mobil's sales network in the region.

Due to its early entry and decades of hard work, Mobil has come to control most of the oil trade in Southeast Asia.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these Southeast Asian island countries are not big.

But either regions like Hong Kong and Singapore have developed economies but few oil and gas resources; or regions like Indonesia and Vietnam have relatively abundant oil and gas resources, but the extraction technology is limited.

They can only rely on external cooperation.

As a result, Mobil is thriving in the region, which is an important part of its global earnings.

Li Jiankun laughed and said, "You think too highly of your own business.

"In the field of oil and gas resources, it is not your turn to have the final say in the United States."

Peggy frowned and said, "Mobil also has a lot of oil properties in the Middle East."

"What about the Soviet Union?"

Peggy: “…”

Li Jiankun said slowly: "The Soviet Union's economy is getting worse and worse, but it occupies the most vast land in the world, and its resources are so rich that any country would envy it. Believe it or not, they are happy to exchange their oil and gas resources... even for daily necessities.

"And what a coincidence, the largest airline in Hong Kong is mine, and the two oldest shipping tycoons in Hong Kong are both my good friends. Oh, and they also transport Mobil's oil.

“Of course, they prefer to carry it for me.

"We have the supply of goods and the transportation tools, so what's the difficulty in doing this business?"

Peggy's eyes widened like copper bells: "You have already made arrangements."

She then remembered that he had said "the plan has started" during the phone call just now.

plan!

It was a premeditated plan!

Li Jiankun shrugged and did not deny: "If I hadn't seen you in the Special Administrative Region last time, this plan would have been implemented a long time ago."

He had been planning this as early as the funeral of the wealthy brothers.

Chen Yajun and Jin Biao have been doing trade in Eastern Europe for so long, and they have been to Russia every now and then, so they are familiar with the route. He also asked Effie to send a team from the port city, originally thinking that the two sides would cooperate to accomplish this matter, but in the end, he found that it was unnecessary.

At this point in time, even as an Axis power of the Soviet Union, Russia's economy was in a very bad state.

Li Jiankun could provide them with whatever light industrial products they lacked, even US dollars.

In addition, when the Russians heard that they were trying to steal American business, they became excited and took the initiative to make big concessions on price. They treated this matter as their own and promised to provide strong support. Together, the two sides drove American oil companies out of Southeast Asia.

Of course, their ultimate goal is to take over this market and make long-term considerations.

In the past, we wanted to fight our way in but couldn’t. Now we have Hong Kong’s richest man, the president of Kunlun Club, Asia’s largest chamber of commerce, and the world’s richest man as our partners. How can we describe it with just one word: beautiful?

The Russian laughed excitedly.

Paige looked frustrated, realizing that there was no way she could stop the war.

Her family became wealthy very early, and oil and gas resources are a relatively special type of business, and there is often a larger market in poor and backward areas. As early as the end of the last century, her ancestors crossed the ocean to the East and used the method of giving away oil lamps for free to open up the "kerosene" market and achieved brilliant results.

Her family owned many businesses in the East.

More than just a branch of Mobil in a port city.

This means that the person in front of him has many ways to deal with their family.

Sadly, she really couldn't imagine how her family would respond.

In the end, there is a high probability that foreign aid will be needed.

And by then, it will not be a dispute between his and her family, but a war between two organizations.

A contest between Eastern and Western capital.

Peggy picked up her black bag without a nameplate from the sofa, and temporarily, she couldn't help but say, "I hope you can consider it carefully."

"I have nothing to think about while your father is still determined to shield Judy."

Paige sighed.

She began to understand the man in front of her who could not be challenged.

Yet she also understood her father.

After all, she is his biological sister.

After Peggy left, Li Jiankun made a phone call to America.

"Have you talked about it?" Liu Jingyan asked on the other end of the phone.

"Ah."

"Can't come to an agreement?"

Li Jiankun did not answer, but said, "Find out where Judy went. She left the United States, so there is no way she left without a trace."

“I’m already doing it.”

Li Jiankun smiled and said, "You must be careful. I will ask the Hongmen to strengthen their covert protection of you. If you sense danger, contact Brother Meng immediately if you are in the dark, and contact Jin Changyuan if you are in the open."

A pleasant laugh came from the microphone: "Don't you want to avoid getting involved with the Peace Society?"

"Don't give me any trouble. Just listen to me."

Liu Jingyan responded with a "yes" and added two words in an affectionate tone: "Master."

The phone call just hung up.

Jingle Bell!

Li Jiankun lifted the microphone and said, "Hello?"

"Boss, she, she, she's in trouble..."

Karma!

"Egret?"

Li Jiankun's heart sank. Shortly after the earthquake, Bai Lu brought people from the 1+1 Charity Foundation to the disaster area, where aftershocks continued.

He prayed in his heart, Egret, how could anything happen to you? You haven't found your daughter yet!

"Don't stutter. Tell me clearly what happened to Bai Lu."

On the other end of the phone, Ran Zi was crying. Her voice was distorted due to excessive shock: "No, it's not Bai Lu, it's Shen Hongyi. She also went to the disaster area to interview. After an aftershock, she disappeared..."

Swish!

Li Jiankun stood up from the sofa, his eyes instantly bloodshot: "What did you say?!"
