Chapter 3: A History of Blood and Tears
Ji Youguo and Lin Yanbo chatted very speculatively, and Huang Guowei made several consecutive glances without being seen by the Führer.
Taking advantage of Lin Yanbo's third time pouring water into the teacup, Ji Youguo glanced at Huang Guowei instead.
It seems that the Führer is not going to return to the consulate for the night. Huang Guowei sighed secretly, and when Lin Yanbo put down the kettle, he got up and said: "Führer, Mr. Lin, you talk slowly, I have to prepare for tomorrow's press conference, so I will leave first." ”
"This ......," Lin Yanbo looked a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, the foreign minister has a busy day, and he will have to deal with reporters tomorrow morning." Ji Youguo helped Lin Yanbo relieve the siege, "Rest early after you go back, remember to let Xiao Wang come to pick me up tomorrow morning." ”
"Foreign Minister Huang, I'll send someone to take you back to the consulate." Lin Yanbo stood up.
"Don't bother, Mr. Lin." Huang Guowei shook hands with Lin Yanbo and said goodbye. When he walked to the door, Huang Guowei glanced at the bodyguard standing by the door and asked him to be vigilant.
Lin Yanbo went to close the curtains before coming back to sit down.
"Mr. Lin, please don't mind, the big and small affairs of this visit are arranged by Guowei......"
"The head of state is too polite, and Yan Bo does not know the importance of it, which delays Foreign Minister Huang's precious time."
"Where, Mr. Lin said so, and he saw the outside. Mr. Lin don't call me the head of state, it sounds awkward, just call me Youguo. ”
"This ...... How does this work? Lin Yanbo looked a little flustered.
"I must be a few years older than Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin is not seen. It's okay to call me Lao Ji. ”
"Since the Führer said so. Yan Bo is better than obeying his orders if he is respectful. Lin Yanbo opened his mind. Said with a smile. "Führer...... Lao Ji thinks that Yanbo is a friend worth dating. Let's call it Yanbo Xiaolin. Don't come 'sir'. 'Sir' went to the ground. made Yanbo feel that he had become Confucius. ”
Ji Youguo laughed heartily. took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic of the relationship between the two parties. "In my opinion. Mr. Elin ...... With a small rush to talent. No matter where you are, you can be called a real business elite. I don't know. Have you ever thought about going back to your home country? ”
Lin Yanbo sighed. I got up and went to the cupboard where the family photos were placed and brought a blue and white porcelain vase.
I saw Lin Yanbo's unusual behavior. The two bodyguards immediately raised their vigilance. Ji Youguo noticed the change in Lin Yanbo's expression. He glanced at the two bodyguards. Let them not be nervous.
"Don't hide it from Lao Ji, for decades, Yan Bomeng has always wanted to one day return to his homeland, participate in the construction of the motherland, and make a modest contribution to the rejuvenation of the nation," put the blue and white porcelain vase on the coffee table, Lin Yanbo sat down, and said with a gloomy expression, "This is also my father's long-cherished wish." Before my father died, I always wanted to go back to my hometown to see, but I couldn't do it for various reasons. Seven years ago, before her death, her mother instructed Yanbo to bring his father's bones back to his hometown and bury them in the ancestral grave of the Lin family to fulfill his father's wishes. In recent years, Yanbo has planned to return to China for development many times, but due to various reasons, he has not been able to make the trip. Yanbo is not filial! ”
Hearing this, Ji Youguo was also very moved.
More than 60 years ago, Lin Yanbo's grandfather Lin Hongen took his wife and children to Taiwan with the retreating army. Ten years later, during the purge on the island, Lin Hongen and his 20-year-old eldest son Lin Yuxiang crossed the sea to Los Angeles in the United States, where they made a living by running a Chinese restaurant. In 1966, the United States was mired in the Vietnam War, domestic conflicts broke out, Lin Hongen was killed by Ku Klux Klan thugs, and restaurants were smashed. At the time of the disaster, five-year-old Lin Yanbo hid in a kitchen cupboard and witnessed the murder of his grandfather by a mob. In 1971, Lin Yuxiang moved his family to New York and reopened a Chinese restaurant.
As the eldest brother, Lin Yanbo is completely different from his younger siblings and has no interest in running a Chinese restaurant. In 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Two years later, at the age of 21, Lin graduated from Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in law, first in his department. Instead of becoming a lawyer or a judge, he traveled to Pakistan as an intermediary to deliver CIA-funded arms to Afghanistan and supply them to the Afghan resistance. As a result, Lin Yanbo accumulated the first pot of gold in his life.
In 1986, the "Iran-Contra Scandal" broke out, and Lin Yanbo returned to the United States. The outside world only knows that it was an arms dealer named Cowberingotti who acted as an intermediary in this incident and sold fighter parts to Iran, but did not know that it was Lin Yanbo who was actually active in Iran.
With the $10 million he earned at the risk of death, Lin Yanbo founded Lishi Investment Company in 1988 after receiving a doctorate in business and commerce from Columbia University. By 2014, "Lishi Investment Company" has developed into a large group company with 12 subsidiaries, branches and offices in more than 40 countries, involved in dozens of industries, mainly financial investment, trillions of dollars in assets under management, and tens of thousands of employees, and Lin Yanbo has also become the richest Chinese in the world with a net worth of 21 billion US dollars.
The history of blood and tears of a Chinese family, the legendary experience of a Chinese.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Yanbo is an out-and-out "banana man", and some people even suspect that he secretly serves the US intelligence services, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such great achievements in the predominantly white American society. Who knew that every night in the past 49 years, Lin Yanbo would see his grandfather lying in a pool of blood in his sleep, his ancestral business destroyed by fire, and the thugs who had fled.
Three years old is set for life.
Although Lin Yanbo used improper means to get rid of the last murderer as early as ten years ago, so that his tragically dead grandfather could rest in peace under Jiuquan, the tragic experience at the age of five has always warned Lin Yanbo that the United States is not his motherland, let alone the object of his allegiance.
After a brief silence, Lin Yanbo's emotions calmed down.
Ji Youguo also took this opportunity to sort out his thoughts and said: "If I guessed correctly, are you worried that the domestic environment will not allow you to show your skills?" ”
Lin Yanbo sighed and did not make a clear statement.
"Actually, this is also a shortcoming that we have always had. Not to mention the expatriates living abroad, look at ourselves. Over the past 30 years, we have sent nearly 2 million international students, but less than 10% have returned. Why? Is the pay too low, not enough opportunities, or not the environment good enough? I don't think so, the real reason is that the republic lacks a mechanism, a mechanism that allows people to function, to gain satisfaction, to continue to grow and progress. Ji Youguo picked up the cigarette, and the bodyguard immediately came over to light it for him. But we must not let this lead to forgetting our homeland. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. National rejuvenation requires the selfless contribution of every descendant of Yan and Huang, and the arduous struggle of every Chinese son. We need soldiers who defend our country with guns, hard-working workers and farmers, and business elites like you. Any kind of excellent social system is not established and perfected by a single force, but requires the participation and cooperation of all forces. The Republic is in a critical period of reform, and it needs the participation and promotion of patriotic expatriates and democrats like you. ”
"Lao Ji, I understand what you mean." Lin Yanbo sighed, "It's just that things aren't that simple. ”
"If you have any difficulties, you might as well say it, and we will discuss and solve it." Ji Youguo picked up the teacup.
"You know, I worked with the CIA when I was younger. I don't hide anything, and the fact that I can achieve where I am today is more or less related to my special relationship with the CIA. All these years, I have not been able to return to China because the CIA has been secretly monitoring my whereabouts. Don't talk about me, my family is under secret surveillance by the CIA. In addition, all the assets of the family are also under the control of the CIA. ”
Ji Youguo nodded slightly. "It's a tricky problem, and it's not that it can't be solved."
"Lao Ji, what do you mean......" Lin Yanbo's eyes lit up and he saw a glimmer of hope.
"It's hard for me to say specifically, after all, I'm not an intelligence officer." Ji Youguo touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Let me think about this matter." In a few days, I will arrange for a professional to meet with you to discuss the details, what do you think? ”
Lin Yanbo immediately nodded. "If you can return to your homeland, assets are trivial......
"You can't say that." Ji Youguo immediately laughed, "Your current achievements are made by you with blood and sweat, how can you easily cheapen others?" ”
"Since Lao Ji said so, I'm relieved."
"Don't worry, the sky won't fall." Ji Youguo smiled, "It has long been concluded that the United States is a paper tiger. Besides, neither the CIA nor the U.S. government would dare to blatantly attack you. The point is, you have to be mentally prepared and don't tell anyone what we're talking about today. ”
"You can rest assured that what we're talking about won't leave this room."
Ji Youguo nodded again and said, "We'll talk about it here today." I will arrange the rest and give you a clear answer within two to three days at the earliest. ”
Seeing that the time was not early, Lin Yanbo did not delay any longer, and personally took Ji Youguo to the guest room.
Before dawn, Wang Yuanqing came to the "Sanjian Manor".
After a hurried breakfast, Ji Youguo and Lin Yanbo said goodbye and went to the United Nations headquarters with Wang Yuanqing.
"Führer, I heard that you talked to Mr. Lin until midnight."
"Who said that?"
Wang Yuanqing smiled and glanced at the two bodyguards in front of him.
"I didn't talk for too long, but the bed in the guest room was too soft, and I slept with a sore back."
"It's still speculative, isn't it?"
"It's not bad, Xiao Pan didn't see the wrong person." Ji Youguo smiled slightly, "Remember to contact Pan Yunsheng and ask him to send a senior intelligence officer over as soon as possible, there are many things that need to be dealt with in time." ”
"Lin Yanbo's business?"
Ji Youguo nodded. "I didn't want to meddle in Lin Yanbo's affairs, but after talking about it in detail yesterday, the situation was much more complicated than Pan Yunsheng expected."
"I'll contact Director Pan right away......"
"Don't worry, send me to the United Nations first, and then call Pan Yunsheng when you return to the consulate." Also, how did you talk with the Principal Secretary to the President of the United States? ”
"What else? It's just those old questions, I didn't say what you meant. ”
Ji Youguo nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes.
If it hadn't coincided with the 70th anniversary of the United Nations, he wouldn't have come to the United States at all. Now it seems that the harvest of this trip abroad is much greater than expected.
Damn it*
