I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

"Are you close with her?"

In a flexible and adaptable manner, Jiang Chen asked subtly,

"Not bad."

Vera responded nonchalantly, holding a knife and fork with elegance, "Probably a bit more familiar than you are with her."

"Do you mean she will block Jiuding Group?"

"It's not as harsh as it sounds." Vera put a piece of foie gras into her delicate mouth, chewed slowly, and corrected, "To be precise, it's called isolation."

"Does she have that much power?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed, "If she can isolate Jiuding Group from global capital, are you still willing to wade into these murky waters?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Anyway, there are people who are not afraid of her."

"Like you?"

Vera nodded with the knife and fork in hand, "Mm-hmm."

Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and was silent for a while, "What are your thoughts?"

Vera ate with her head down, "Because of Yingdong Electric Power's nuclear leak, Jiuding wants to sever ties with Dongying as a whole and sell off its Dongying assets, right?"

Jiang Chen didn't deny it, nor was he surprised.

There's no wall that doesn't let the wind through.

Jiuding is seeking buyers globally, it's only normal for news to spread.

"You're quite loyal." Vera praised.

She seemed to be investigating Cynthia, but how did she appear to know his movements so well?

"Get to the point."

"How come you're so impatient? If you want to fight Cynthia, you can't lack patience."

Before Jiang Chen could deny or argue, Vera casually said, "Give up your illusions. She's surely planning to take this opportunity to swallow all of Jiuding's achievements in Dongying in one go. So, don't place any hope on her, unless you're willing to kneel before her and let her slaughter you."

"Jiang, are you willing to kneel to her? And your Miss Cao?"

Jiang Chen remained silent.

A man should not kneel easily.

Especially not to a foreigner.

In fact, ever since he took on the job from Cao Jinse voluntarily, he had never harbored any "illusions."

Relying on others.

Better to rely on oneself.

He knew from the start that negotiations with the other party were doomed to fail.

"Jiang, do you know what's her greatest strength? It's her ability to utilize the situation. No matter how complex the environment, she can find a profitable path."

Vera continued eating leisurely, "Dongying already has a deep-seated hatred with you Shenzhou people. Plus, her external blockade leaves you trapped here, isolated and helpless. Over time, you'll be forced to surrender to her."

"Has Dongying already teamed up with her?"

"No."

Vera said, "As I said, she is very good at using situations and the environment, no need to team up, because Dongying and you have never been in the same camp."

"Our two countries are developing relations towards friendship and peace."

Jiang Chen managed to say this calmly, but as a Meilijian citizen, Vera couldn't help but laugh.

"Jiang, are you a diplomatic spokesperson?"

Vera laughed, "Friendship and peace, even if you think so, do your compatriots and the Dongying people think so? Why did Dongying invade Shenzhou? Colonialism? Resource plundering? No, none of those. Their true goal was to destroy your country and nation, to wipe your entire ethnicity off the face of the earth."

Jiang Chen pressed his lips together.

This part of history is unforgettable for every descendant of China, but to hear it from a foreigner's mouth has a different feeling.

"Your history books probably don't write it. Dongying's war against you was not merely an invasion but a war of annihilation. They wanted land, not people. The orders given to the Dongying army were to massacre males aged 17 to 25, women, and children. It wasn't because they feared resistance; people over 25 also resist. Dongying did this to exterminate not the resistant Shenzhou people but those with high reproductive capacity. Dongying even planned to migrate a billion people into your land of Shenzhou.

Do you know the total population of Dongying back then? Only 80 million. And Shenzhou's population was nearly 500 million. Controlling a country with a population six times theirs, to swallow an elephant like a snake, what's the method? There's only one, extinction and massacre. This was the national policy spread from top to bottom in Dongying at the time."

If only educated in a classroom, Vera's narrative would certainly be unfamiliar, as her description differs from textbooks.

But if taken into her words, one could almost understand why the pure and sacred Taoist nun sister would have such animosity towards the country of Dongying.

Some historical facts are too brutal, and to protect the hearts of a country's youth, as well as to pursue world peace, even textbooks would not record the details one by one.

As a third party, Vera had no reason to lie.

"The notorious Dongying 731 Unit wanted to develop bacteria and viruses targeting only Shenzhou people; it was just that the war situation deteriorated, and there was no time. And the massacre that Dongying still refuses to acknowledge. That was an elite unit of Dongying, how could they have been out of control? A war doesn't require a mad massacre of civilians, widespread housing destruction while poisoning water wells; those are not normal acts of war. In the WWII European theatre, military casualties far exceeded civilian casualties. In Germany's invasion of France, more than 300,000 civilians were killed or injured, two-thirds of whom were Jewish. And in the Soviet Union, which had a great hatred for Germany, civilian casualties were twice the number of military casualties. In contrast, in your battlefield of Shenzhou, military casualties were over 3 million, but civilian casualties exceeded 30 million, with civilian casualties 8 to 10 times those of military, which is unprecedented in world war history."

Jiang Chen didn't speak.

What's called an open conspiracy.

Even knowing the other person was deliberately inciting, she succeeded.

"Jiang, as a friend, I must give you a piece of advice. You, and Jiuding Group, along with billions of Shenzhou people behind you, you survive in this world because of the fearless sacrifice of your martyrs. Those heinous Class-A War Criminals are still worshipped in incense halls in Dongying. The war is over, but the militaristic ideology has not been thoroughly cleansed, the extremist faction in Dongying still exists and is powerful."

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time.

Vera wasn't in a hurry, she quietly continued her meal.

A super conglomerate remains a super conglomerate. No matter how unconventional, the level of intelligence and knowledge is still far above the ordinary.

"Your plan."

Jiang Chen spoke simply and directly and finally picked up his knife and fork.

"60%."

Vera smiled.

"Cynthia blocks you, Dongying excludes you, but I'm willing to stand with you. 60%, I'm willing to buy all of Jiuding Group's assets in Dongying."
