#728 - Chapter 728 Overheard, taking the eggs and then killing the chicken? The young couple met and
White House.
Late at night.
Albert hadn't left work and sat in his office with a long face, his mood terrifyingly gloomy.
The Russian economy was far weaker than North America's. He had personally called the Tsar, but the Russian Federation's willingness to share expenses only increased to 20 billion—with current military spending, where would the remaining 100 billion come from?
He originally wanted to fleece drug lords and mafia bosses.
Who knew China would make such a move?
A three-sided encirclement.
The consequences were unimaginable!
For national security reasons, the group he had initially invited over could only be repatriated and sent back.
He didn't even dare touch the funds in their accounts.
How to fill the military spending hole?
"Mr. President, now... there's only one way left," Lawrence said softly.
"..."
Albert was taken aback.
Then he understood.
There was still one path to take.
Not only could it fill the military spending hole, but even raising another one or two hundred billion wouldn't be difficult.
North America had deep foundations. Although China had leaped to become a superpower and repeatedly bled North American finance and technology, those tycoons with centuries of accumulation still held massive wealth in their hands, but...
Capital had no country in its heart, only caring about profit.
Let them pay?
No problem!
What would you exchange for it?
Albert knew that once he actively sought funds from the tycoons, they would inevitably drive a hard bargain.
The North American economy and political circles were both influenced by tycoons.
Once he asked for funds again this time, the major tycoons would demand even more.
Even if they defeated China in the future and North America returned to the top of the world, the entire country would be completely reduced to food in the mouths of the major tycoons—like South Korea before, where tycoons had the power to decide everything!
"For North America!"
Suddenly!
Albert's eyes became incomparably cold: "Not only do we need money, but we also can't let those bastards kidnap my country!"
"You mean..." Lawrence was startled.
"Raise the money first!"
"Understood!"
Lawrence already understood his thoughts.
Raising money was for taking eggs.
Not only take the eggs, but also kill the chicken!
The president absolutely couldn't tolerate North America being manipulated by tycoons.
Of course, for now, get the money first. Killing the chicken would inevitably have enough reason, such as first helping the building from collapse, letting the people see the president's ability.
As president, he had to win the hearts of either the tycoons or the ordinary people.
Furthermore.
His goal wasn't just to fill the military spending hole.
There were even more projects in development.
All of them needed money!
Mass production would lower the unit price?
Don't forget, particle cannons cost far more than laser weapons.
Moreover, if there was any extra money, he might as well produce more fighter jets.
After solving the J-40 funding problem, he didn't return to the Comprehensive Research Center, but went straight to the small building at Jiaotong University.
The eavesdropping device was there.
The technology he had temporarily developed before still had some minor flaws.
Once monitoring was activated, the phone's running software would light up the screen.
If Lawrence noticed that the phone screen lit up inexplicably multiple times, he might see something.
The program needed to be further improved.
Solve the problem of the screen lighting up when the software runs.
Around 10 a.m.
The screen lighting problem was finally solved, and full-day monitoring was immediately turned on.
As luck would have it!
Just as Albert told Lawrence that he was preparing to raise funds from North American tycoons, the conversation was monitored and recorded!
"Damn it!"
Chen Hao was stunned.
First, agree to the tycoons' demands, let them pay to solve the urgent problem. With the tycoons' money-loving nature, they would definitely take the opportunity to drive a hard bargain—the various demands put forward by the tycoons would inevitably kidnap North America.
Could President Albert tolerate this?
Then...
The best way was to completely destroy the tycoons!
Borrow your money.
Then kill you!
Was there a more vicious method than this?
Should he make a fuss about it?
Just as he was thinking about making a fuss, a phone call suddenly came in.
"Chen!"
On the phone.
John's tone wasn't very good: "Where are you? Can we meet?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Hao asked, puzzled.
"My uncle has come to Shanghai. He has something to say to you."
Huh?
Chen Hao really wanted to say, 'Are you sick in the head?'
Who is your uncle?
Want to see me, and I have to go see him?
Even with his public identity, as China's white glove, he was higher in status than the Morgan Consortium.
Suddenly!
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were quickly taken back: "Okay, where should we meet?"
Wasn't he going to take the opportunity to make a fuss?
The opportunity had come to him!
Coming out of the small building.
He went straight to where the car was parked.
...
Xia Qingmo had just entered the school and went straight to the Department of Pharmacy's office.
She had been engaged in research and development for a long time and hadn't attended classes for a long time. The principal had explicitly told the department head that she didn't need to take the exam.
Not to mention the targeted drugs.
The pancreatic function reversal drug wasn't the complete version that Chen Hao had sent. She had truly participated in the entire research and development process.
This kind of drug was enough to take away all the major awards in the pharmaceutical industry!
Did she still need to take the exam?
University was no longer important to her.
That's right!
The department head had called yesterday to ask when she would be free to come over and copy this semester's exam papers.
Yes!
Just copy them!
The principal said that teachers weren't needed, but the department head was afraid of the negative impact, so he still had to pretend.
She was walking to the department office when Chen Hao walked over from afar.
He was going to the parking lot.
Their eyes met.
The couple was suddenly very happy to meet, but at the same time, they thought of a problem.
To the outside world, Chen Hao was fickle and changed girlfriends. The couple had already become enemies.
Therefore...
Xia Qingmo, who had rehearsed many times, glared coldly at Chen Hao who was walking over.
There were many people nearby.
They had to act!
Anger.
Hostility.
"Tch!"
Chen Hao was even better at acting.
He glanced at her dismissively, and walked towards the parking lot with a sneer, as if disdaining an old rag doll.
Many people passed by nearby.
They immediately saw that the former couple was staging a drama of becoming enemies.
This kind of thing...
Purely emotionally, most people stood on Xia Qingmo's side, as being fickle and changing partners was ultimately unacceptable in terms of morality.
It's just that everyone was discussing it behind their backs, and no one dared to say anything to Chen Hao's face.
"Chen Hao!"
Suddenly!
A guy popped out of nowhere.
He was burly.
Tall and strong.
He was half a head taller than Chen Hao, standing there like a small mountain.
His appearance was average, and with his angry expression at the moment, he looked a little ferocious.
He pointed at Chen Hao and roared: "You rely on your special background to be fickle and change girlfriends? To cheat? Are you still a man?!"
Chen Hao looked surprised.
Who is this guy?
Isn't it...
There are many people in the world who dislike me, but how many dare to scold me to my face?
There had been lessons from the past.
Did someone dare not learn from the lessons?
Was he looking for death?
That's not right!
He noticed that when the guy scolded him, he was also secretly glancing at Xia Qingmo with the corner of his eye.
This...
Even a fool should understand.
Before, when the couple was together, no one dared to pursue Xia Qingmo—initially, someone had pursued her, but Ding Xiang had blown out his liver with one punch.
After that, no one dared to pursue her!
Now it was different.
He and Xia Qingmo had broken up, so others could of course pursue Xia Qingmo, and now was the best opportunity!
The consequences of yelling at him were very serious.
At worst, he would be beaten.
At worst, he would be detained.
But if he could use this incident...
To make Xia Qingmo moved, and even be able to pursue her, then it would be too worth it!
