Chapter 817 - Conspiracy theories
Wilsonhad set up a law firm in New York because Feng Yu will be staying in the US forthe next two years. Other than helping Feng Yu with the legal doc.u.ments, healso becomes Kirilenko's personal lawyer in the US. Just the fees from thesetwo were enough to cover his costs. Furthermore, his firm can take on otherjobs.
Yesterday,Wilson had completed the Empire State Building's paperwork for Feng Yu. Thismorning, he was reading the papers in his office when he saw an article aboutthe sales of the Empire State Building.
TheEmpire State Building was now the headlines. But this was not a piece of goodnews.
Amysterious Chinese businessman had acquired the Empire State Building.
TheEmpire State Building changed owners again. Why is our iconic historicalbuilding owned by an outsider?
TheChinese Capitalist is invading the US.
Theheadlines of more than a dozen papers were about the sales of the Empire StateBuilding. The reports also mentioned about the ident.i.ty of Feng Yu as ashareholder of Microsoft. They did not say about the rest of his companies.Maybe the reporters were still unaware of his other businesses.
Feng Yufrowned. This is the conspiracy theory that the Americans love, but theAmericans were a bunch of selfish people. They only want to enjoy the perks...o...b..ing in a powerful country, but they refuse to give up their own benefits forthe country.
That'swhy these theories will not have any impact on Feng Yu's investments in the US.Companies will still rent office s.p.a.ces in the Empire State Building, and theycannot force Feng Yu to sell his Microsoft shares.
But FengYu could sense these reports had political influences in it. The stories keptemphasizing his nationality as a Chinese. This was in line with theChinese-threat theories that the US believed.
Feng Yuwanted to ask Kirilenko about his views on the reports, but he noticed he wasmore furious. What's wrong with these reporters? Why they didn't mention aboutRussian-threat theories?
Kirilenkowas furious that Russia was left out. I am also a shareholder of the EmpireState Building, and I had spent a lot of money. How can they only mention FengYu and not talk about me? Why are they only concern about China and notRussia?!
This istoo much!
"Feng, wemust retaliate!" Kirilenko shouted.
Feng Yuwanted to say that he should be the one to refute those reports. Kirilenko wasnot mentioned in these reports at all!
But sinceBrother Ki wants to be under the spotlight, go ahead. Anyway, Feng Yu does notwant to be in the limelight.
"Ok. Howshould we retaliate?" Feng Yu was curious about what ideas Kirilenko have.
This wasthe US, after all. These papers were mainly catered to the Americans. Even ifyou have an article, the media might not publish it. Even if they published it,the Americans will also not read it, unless the article is full of praises forthe US. But Feng Yu will never do that, let alone Kirilenko.
Kirilenkocan't wait for the US economy to collapse like j.a.pan. Feng Yu suspectsKirilenko's face will cramp from smiling if the US economy collapses tomorrow!
"Weshould tell the Americans that we are going to buy out all of their pride! Wehave bought the Empire State Building today, and we will buy the Statue ofLiberty tomorrow!"
Puuuu……
Feng Yu'sspat out a mouthful of tea. What are you thinking? You want to buy the Statueof Liberty? Why don't you say you will buy the White House?
That'sthe US national monument and symbolized freedom. It is like the Great Wall ofChina, the Eiffel Tower in France, and the Pyramids in Egypt. The US will neversell it unless the country is gone. It's impossible.
"Cough… BrotherKi, are you joking? What will you think if someone tells you that he wants tobuy the Moscow Kremlin?" Feng Yu asked.
"I willthink it is a joke and will pay no attention about it," Kirilenko replied.
d.a.m.n! Youwant us to pretend to be idiots and let this incident pa.s.s?
You cango ahead of yourself! I will not do it!
What astupid idea!
Feng Yuknew that if the Empire State Building is sold to another j.a.panese or even aTribal Chief from Africa, there will be no reports about it. But because of someof China's military actions, the US becomes very concern.
China hadconducted a military exercise last year and planned another military exercisethis year. The budget set aside for the exercise this year was more than 4billion RMB. Was this really a military exercise?
Even FengYu believed that the 'Old Man' wanted to take over Taiwan by force. The plans forthis military exercise were leaked. If not, China might really succeed!
Mid oflast year, the US intervened with the Taiwanese government and caused therelations.h.i.+p between China and the US to sour. President Clinton had been testingChina's limits and made us of this to gain support for another term.
DuringPresident Clinton's term, the US economy was developing well. The US had openedthe gap from j.a.pan and the Soviet Union in terms of military power and economy.
But atthis time, the Chinese threat was brought up again, and the people will takenote of it. After that, the US will show off its power to make its citizensfeel proud again. This way, Clinton will regain the confidence of the voters.
China'smilitary power is currently the strongest in Asia. This was mainly because the'Old Man' is still around and was able to unite all the leaders.
Also, the'Old Man' wanted to take back Taiwan. China had already taken back to Hong Kongand Macao. Taiwan is the only place left before China becomes whole again. Thisis not any secret and the entire world knows about it.
Lastyear, the US had sent an aircraft carrier to support Taiwan, and this year,they sent another aircraft carrier over. This was to warn China not to takeover Taiwan by force. If not, there will be a war!
China'seconomic development had just started and cannot afford to be involved in anywars. Russia's att.i.tude was also unknown. Russia does not want China to takeback Taiwan as no country wants its neighbors to be too strong.
China hadbeen at war since the olden times. Russia was still recovering from the impactof the dissolution of the Soviet Union and will not allow China to become toopowerful.
If Chinatakes back Taiwan, its economy will grow rapidly and will overtake Russia in notime. With enough money, China's military will become stronger and Russia willbe worried as they had occupied parts of China in the past.
That'swhy when the US sent its aircraft carriers to threaten China, Russia did not doanything.
The twoaircraft carriers were enough to threaten China's coastal cities. These citieswere the pillars of China's economic growth. If these cities were damaged bywar, the Chinese economy would be severely affected, and when China was able totake back Taiwan in the end, their economy will take a beating. This wa.s.something China does not want to see.
Feng Yuknew that China will give in after threatening Taiwan. In his previous life,there were rumors that the 'Old Man' fell sick because of this and did notmanage to live until Hong Kong's return.
But FengYu does not care about all these. The US wants to report on the Chinesethreats, go ahead. You all keep saying that China will rise up again and itseconomy will overtake the US?
Fine. I will make this happen in the future!
