Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Entering the club hall, what caught my eye was a grand ball. A large group of men and women dressed in ancient British aristocratic costumes sang and danced together. There was a wide variety of food and wine, and the people serving them were all black.

Not far away, a slender man was holding a champagne glass and talking to some VIPs. Wells and Shi Zhijian walked towards the man.

"Mr. Downey, I've brought the man." Wells said to the man very politely.

The man turned around, a white man in his thirties, dressed very luxuriously, and his face was painted with powder, looking a little funny, but his eyes showed a hint of brilliance, "Oh God, our friend is here!"

The man smiled and stretched out his hand to Shi Zhijian: "I, Donnie Rothschild!"

Shi Zhijian didn't know who Downey was, but he knew what family the Rothschilds were, so he shook hands with each other without saying a word: "Hong Kong, Shi Zhijian."

When he was talking, Shi Zhijian had already looked at the other party carefully, and the other party also looked at Shi Zhijian clearly.

"As for these friends---" Downey introduced Shi Zhijian sideways, "Maybe there are some you should know!"

Indeed, most of those people, Shi Zhijian, felt familiar, including the Arab prince Mohammed, and the French nobleman Charles.

Most of these people appeared at the birthday banquet of the Duke of Windsor. At that time, Shi Zhijian was deeply impressed by the group and President Lawrence.

Looking at other people, even if no one introduced Shi Zhijian in British newspapers, there are many familiar faces in international news, including many European and American politicians. It can be said that any one who stands out is a big man who can make headlines.

"Dear Shi, I didn't expect your outfit to look so good!" Downey briefly introduced Shi Zhijian to everyone, looked at Shi Zhijian again and smiled.

Shi Zhijian discovered that there was a mole on the corner of his mouth, which was a British tradition in the 16th century. Often a mole on the corner of his mouth indicated that the gentleman liked men, so Shi Zhijian immediately kept a good distance from him, and the "good-looking" in the other's mouth appeared Weird.

Seeing Shi Zhijian's small gesture, Downey felt slightly unhappy in his heart. He drank the champagne in his hand, and then snapped his fingers to call the waiter, put the wine glass on the tray, and waved the other party away. He said to Shi Zhijian with a serious face: "Then now, dear Shi, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. The reason why I asked His Highness Wells to invite you here is very simple. Our Apostles Association is now recruiting new people to be the president. , I invite you to join!"

When Downey said these words, his tone was arrogant and smug, as if he was giving charity.

Everyone else around was also looking at Shi Zhijian, with the same smug expression on his face and arrogant attitude, waiting for him to reply.

That Prince Alaba and Charles of France looked at Shi Zhijian with envy, as if it was a great honor for Shi Zhijian to be invited to join the Apostolic Society.

His Royal Highness Wells smiled meaningfully on the side.

Shi Zhijian didn't answer directly whether he wanted to or not. Instead, he scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers and asked, "What are the benefits of joining the Apostolic Society?"

When he asked such a question, he immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You asked me what would be the benefits of joining the Apostles?" Downey put his hands behind his back and looked at Shi Zhijian like a monster, "Could it be that you want me to help you popularize the history of the Apostles?"

"Yeah, if you knew the history of the Apostolic Society, you wouldn't think so!" I don't know who said a word, and the people around burst into laughter again.

Shi Zhijian stood still, ignoring everyone's ridicule, but looked at Donnie and said, "If you could help introduce a little bit, I would be very grateful!"

Downey was stunned for a moment, it seemed that for the first time he noticed Shi Zhijian's difference, he smiled——

"The Apostles are the people who replace God to maintain and create the world order! That is, these people around you now!" Downey said in a arrogant tone, pointing to the people around him, "In our dictionary, there are only two words. , power! The power to distribute the world, and the power to control the world! Here, each of us can take charge of our own, and can control the economic and political affairs of European and American countries! To be precise, we are gods!”

Shi Zhijian laughed when he heard this, "God? I'm curious, what do you rely on to exercise your divine right?"

When the others heard this, there was a hint of sullenness on their faces, feeling that Shi Zhijian was too disrespectful to their leader and disrespected their leader's speech.

Downey didn't care about Shi Zhijian's sarcasm at all, instead he said excitedly: "What do you ask me for? It's actually very simple, money!"

The word money is powerful!

"In fact, since the end of World War II, the whole world has been re-divided by economy. The British Empire has fallen because of its weak economy. The United States has become the world's hegemony because of its economic boom. There are other countries, too. Let’s talk about economy! What is economy? It’s money! With money, you can buy planes and cannons, build aircraft carriers, and do whatever you want!”

"The magic of money is unexpected. For those of us, the concept of a country has never existed, because the country is only a name for an economic region in our dictionary! This place is poor, that place is rich, if we want, we can Allocate resources to make poor places rich and rich places poor! For money, we can control oil resources, control marine resources, and even control the space program, and seize space resources in the future!"

The more Downey said, the more maddened he became.

"Now you understand, what is the Apostolic Society? We are representing God and exercising God's power!" Downey stared at Shi Zhijian with burning eyes.

Shi Zhijian waited until Downey's emotions subsided a little, and then he asked again: "After listening to Your Excellency's long speech, I am deeply touched! Forgive me to ask one more question, since the apostle is so tall, why did he choose me as me? Nobody joins?"

There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of Downey's mouth, and he pointed to the door and said, "I didn't want to say the reason, lest you be embarrassed, but if you insist on asking, I'll tell you---did you see the door? I originally raised it. A dog guarded the door of our Apostles Association, but unexpectedly you drove it away, so I had to find you instead!"

Being likened to a dog, anyone would be angry, but Shi Zhijian still smiled lightly: "May I ask if the previous dog was Lawrence, the president of the London Chamber of Commerce?"

"Not bad! You are very smart!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Shi Zhijian bowed slightly, very gentleman. Downey said proudly, "So now, would you like to replace Lawrence as my dog?"

The others also looked at Shi Zhijian with smug faces, believing that he had no room for rejection at all.

The Arabian prince and French Charlie showed envy again on their faces. For them, let alone being a dog of the Apostles, even being a grandson is an honor!

Only His Royal Highness Wells pinched his chin and looked at Shi Zhijian with a strange expression.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

With a bang, the scene exploded!

"What? He actually refused? He refused to join the Apostolic Society?"

Now everyone almost screamed.

The Arabian Prince and the French Charlie even dropped their jaws!

His Royal Highness Wells looked thoughtful.

Looking at Downey, the leader of the Apostolic Society, he was stunned at first, then angry!

Extremely angry!

From his point of view, this Shi Zhijian simply doesn't know what to do!

In terms of race, the whites come first, then the yellows and blacks!

Shi Zhijian, as the second-ranked yellow race, dared to refuse his kindness, it was unforgivable!

"Mr. Downey, you must be very curious, why did I reject you? The reason is very simple, I like to be a human being, not a dog!" I'm happy to help you be a watchdog here, everyone has their own aspirations, and they can't be forced!"

"What did you say?"

"Bold!"

"Damn!"

How has this group of people been ridiculed like this, each and everyone is furious.

"Also," Shi Zhijian continued, "you said just now that the most powerful thing in the world is money. With money, you can buy everything and control everything, including oil, land and other resources, so is it also included in the research and development I am now? new energy?"

Shi Zhijian's words startled Downey. Shi Zhijian saw his expression and knew that he was right, and continued: "You must be very curious about the new energy I am researching, and I am afraid that this resource will break your monopoly in the field of resources. To put it simply , Cars and motorcycles need gasoline to work normally, and gasoline is extracted from oil. If one day people abandon gasoline and use the electric cars and electric bicycles I developed, will the oil you hoard depreciate? "

"Of course, these are all my guesses. Maybe you didn't covet the new technology I developed, but simply wanted to win me over and let me be your dog, but—"

When Shi Zhijian said this, he waved his arms towards Downey and the others, and gave a gentleman's salute, "But...the way is different, we don't plan for each other!"

After speaking, Shi Zhijian didn't look at these people again, turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing Shi Zhijian turn around to leave, Downey's expression was extremely ugly, and the others looked shocked.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Downey, I brought him here, I'll send him off!" Wells said to Downey politely, then turned to chase Shi Zhijian.

Looking at Shi Zhijian's back, everyone said angrily, "That's outrageous!"

"Yeah, I don't know what to do!"

"What do you think of the Apostles? Come as you want, and leave as you want?"

"Mr. Downey, what are we going to do? Do you want to show some color to that **** Chinese?" a member of the Apostles asked Downey Rothschild.

Downey had a very strange look on his face, and suddenly he burst into laughter. He laughed wildly, and his face that had been smeared and powdered became distorted—

Then, the laughter stopped abruptly!

I saw his expressionless face, as if the person who was laughing just now was not himself at all.

"God, what an interesting person, who can guess my mind! Yes, I coveted the new technology developed by him, maybe it will be a new technology that changes the world. It's a pity, without us These big people help him promote, no matter how talented he is, he can only do it to the current level!"

"Then what we have to do is..."

"Of course I'm waiting for a good show!" Downey took out a handkerchief from his arms, threw it away gracefully, and dipped the corner of his mouth with a hint of rebelliousness on his face: "Although his 100,000 electric bicycles have been sold, but Without the support of a huge industrial system and without a factory to help him produce, what if he has the technology and the raw materials? If he can't make it, he can't make it, so why don't he kneel down and beg us? Hahaha!"

The deafening laughter echoed in the hall.

……

"Ajian, walk slowly!"

His Highness Wells called Shi Zhijian from behind.

Shi Zhijian came outside, the elevator door opened, he walked in, turned around and saw Wells came in as well.

Boom!

The elevator closes.

Shi Zhijian pressed the down button, and the elevator began to slowly descend.

"Why are you chasing it out? Don't you have a good relationship with the Apostles?"

"Contact me!" Wells exclaimed, "These people are arrogant, and many times even I can't stand it!" After a while, "If it wasn't for my uncle who insisted that I join this organization , I won't bring you here!"

"However, Ah Jian! You were so amazing just now, You Qi made that Donny so cool, I couldn't help but applaud!"

Shi Zhijian smiled bitterly: "I offended so many great people in one go. You applaud me? Do you think I died too slowly?"

"How come, I have secretly named you as my idol from just now! How is it? Are you surprised?"

"What a surprise, I almost lost my teeth!" Shi Zhijian teased ~www.readwn.com~ But why do you seem to hate that Downey so much? "

"It's not like, it's very annoying!" The elevator door opened, and Wells followed Shi Zhijian to get off the elevator.

"You don't know that Downey is lawless. Since I joined the Angel Club, he has acted arbitrarily, as if he is really a **** and can control everything. He doesn't take me, a son of the royal family of the British Empire, in his eyes at all!"

"That's not enough, this despicable megalomaniac has a particularly dark heart! I don't know how many people have been killed in order to make money! As far as Saudi Arabia is concerned, in order to obtain oil, it keeps fighting there, and the British side manipulates the financial stock market. Let countless shareholders go bankrupt and homeless!"

Wells became angrier as he spoke, and clenched his fists, "Unfortunately, my ability is limited, and I can't fight against him, otherwise I'll have to speak out for those ordinary people!"

Shi Zhijian knew, however, that Wells' "limited ability" was actually modesty. Although the British royal family no longer controls the British Empire, the capital of the British royal family is unimaginable. It costs money to repair Buckingham Palace every year. Millions of pounds, not to mention the land, real estate, stocks and bonds owned by the royal family, famous paintings and calligraphy, various antiques, etc., the value is simply immeasurable!

It is precisely because of this that the current British royal family is more like a wealthy capitalist, and its power also comes from the wealth they occupy. In order to keep these wealth rising and doubling, many members of the royal family have chosen to associate with the Apostles. Organize cooperation, exchange information, and manipulate the market together to squeeze every drop of blood and sweat from the people!
