Chapter 717: Wrangling

Celia Miller is very efficient.

Simon arranged it. The next day, the Rwandan government in Africa suddenly held a press conference and pointed the finger at France, claiming that the Rwandan authorities had obtained important evidence that the French government was suspected of participating in the Rwanda massacre in April this year.

In the final statistics of casualties, the massacre in Rwanda that broke out on April 7th in the first half of the year lasted about ten days, and the total number of victims reached 270,000.

Although this number is far lower than the 800,000 to 1 million deaths in the original time and space, it is also the rare disaster of racist genocide that can be called anti-humanity after World War II. In addition, the Westeros system spared no effort in contacting the media. The rendering of the massacre and the exposure of a large number of pictures and images of the brutal massacre that hit the hearts of the people made the social impact of this massacre far beyond the previous one.

Because no one dares to bear the charge of participating in the promotion of the Holocaust.

This is especially true of France, one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and a traditional power that has a profound influence in Africa.

Most of the crimes of the massacre have been borne by the former Rwandan Hutu government. However, once there is real evidence that the French government participated in the massacre, it is not just that the menacing public opinion will discredit France in front of the global public. , A serious blow to France’s international image, and there are bound to be many people taking the initiative or forced to take responsibility for this incident. Many high-level government officials, including the current French President Mitterrand, may step down because of this and bear long-term infamy.

As a result, the news that Rwanda accused the French government of involvement in the massacre appeared on the headlines of Igreat portal within an hour, and the French side responded quickly.

While resolutely refuting the Rwandan government’s allegations, the French government spokesperson also stated that if the Rwandan authorities continue such unfounded accusations against France, the French government will stop all humanitarian assistance to Rwanda.

If it's just a rebuttal, it doesn't matter, the French government spokesperson's threat to stop aid is obviously not well thought out.

A second related article soon appeared on the Igreat portal, accusing the French government of trying to cover up the truth through disguised threats.

Moreover, since the disaster, humanitarian assistance directly from the French government has only been 15 million francs, which is equivalent to more than 2 million U.S. dollars. This is nothing compared with the more than 800 million U.S. dollars that the Rwandan government has successively received from the world after the disaster.

Even with this money, the French government has so far only cashed in less than half.

Of course, there are more humanitarian aid funds and materials initiated by the French people. In this regard, the French government has no right to interfere. Not only that, the public also has the right to know the truth, rather than being forced to become a bargaining chip for the French government to threaten other countries.

Faced with the threat of cessation of aid, the Rwandan government has acted rather hard, and immediately stated that in order to ensure that the investigation of the incident will not be affected in any way, Rwanda will return the 6.5 million francs aid funds it has received from the French government. At the same time, the Rwandan government also published a part of the confessions of the former Hutu government high-level officials through its official website, which pointed directly at France.

The sudden news incident left many people at a loss, but it did not hinder the rapid follow-up of the media.

In just one day, Rwanda's allegations of France's involvement in the massacre in the first half of the year began to rag around the world.

In modern society, there are few simple and isolated news incidents that happen inexplicably between the two countries, and there is often a deeper game behind the scenes.

People with a keen sense of smell also discovered the trickyness in it for the first time.

The Rwandan government's sudden opening of this incident is actually of no benefit to itself. If it turns out that France participated in the Rwanda massacre in the end, it will prevent this old imperialist power with deep-rooted influence in Africa from stepping down, and the Rwandan government will not do anything in the future. Think about it.

So why did Rwanda suddenly do this?

Recalling that event news first appeared on the Igreat portal, and the Westeros system was also fueling the flames, things seemed less difficult to understand.

When Rwanda and France were arguing in the media, Simon, who was in Japan, received a call directly from the White House.

The White House clearly misunderstood Simon's intentions.

According to the original agreement, Westeros mercenaries must withdraw from Rwanda at the end of October. Now that the date is approaching, Clinton thought that Simon had suddenly provoked this incident in order to extend the stay of Westeros mercenaries in Rwanda. .

In a similar way, the U.S. military is really familiar with it all over the world.

Facing Clinton, who was well versed in political rules, exhorted him with good intentions, Simon assured Mr. President that the Westeros system did not intend to do so, and that the Westeros mercenaries would leave Rwanda on time. In order to dispel the doubts of the White House, Simon also hinted on the phone that there was another reason for this matter.

At the end of the conversation, Mr. President did not forget to tease that Simon once again caused the "Westero Effect" in Japan.

Simon departed from New York at two o'clock in the afternoon on October 18th and arrived in Japan at four o'clock in the afternoon on October 19th.

The Tokyo stock market has closed that day, so Wednesday is nothing special.

In order to promote the promotion of Universal Studios Osaka, Simon's trip was not deliberately low-key. The group arrived at the Kansai International Airport in Osaka, and a large number of well-informed Japanese media came to the airport to pick up the plane.

The Osaka City Government was also very enthusiastic about Simon's arrival and prepared a welcome dinner that evening.

The host and the guest enjoyed themselves.

However, the situation took a turn for the worse the next day.

Simon did not expect that the Mexican government would announce the abandonment of the exchange rate protection of the Mexican peso on the same day he arrived in Japan. The Mexican currency collapsed and the waves began to spread globally.

The next morning, many Japanese media reported the news of Simon's arrival in Osaka.

Immediately after the opening in the morning, the Tokyo stock market began to fall.

After the crash five years ago, the Nikkei Index experienced the lowest point of 16,000 points last year, and only rebounded to around 20,000 points in the first half of this year. However, compared with the stock market peak of around 40,000 points, it has been cut in half.

On October 20th, the Tokyo stock market opened, and the Nikkei index was still 21079 points. With the impact of the Mexican economic crisis, the Nikkei index plummeted by 712 points in just one day, and closed to a low of 20367 points in the afternoon, a one-day decline. As high as 3.4%.

Although professionals all know that this plunge was affected by the collapse of the Mexican currency, ordinary media facing the public don't think so.

Everyone looked around and suddenly realized that Simon Westeros had come and the Japanese stock market had plummeted.

Well, this is really not a joke.

Not funny at all.

Comparing the major global stock markets on October 20th, the Dow Jones index in the United States fell 1.3%, the London stock market fell 0.8%, the Frankfurt stock market fell 1.8%, and the German stock market fell 0.3%. Only the poor Japanese stock market fell. It turned out to be as high as 3.4%. This is not the "Westero effect", what else can it be?

Disaster!

This is not over yet.

The next day, October 21st, Friday.

On the last trading day of this week, the Japanese stock market fell again by 591 points throughout the day, and the Nikkei index fell back to within 20,000 points to close at 19,776 points. Although the single-day decline narrowed compared with yesterday, it still reached 2.9%.

In the established schedule, in addition to inspecting the construction of most of the Universal Studios, Simon will also attend a meeting of Japanese business leaders in Tokyo on Friday evening, and promised to hold an incident with the new Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, who just came to power in June this year, at noon on Saturday. Formal meeting.

right now.

You go quickly!

The Japanese stock market plummeted by 6.2% in two days. No one can bear this kind of stimulus.

Even if the stock market does not open for two days on the weekend, who knows if your catastrophe continues to stay in Japan, will the Japanese stock market continue to be unlucky next week.

Everyone has suffered heavy losses in the stock market slump in the past two days. Don't worry about gatherings. Next time. The new prime minister, who had originally planned to accumulate some prestige through meeting with Simon, also canceled the meeting on the grounds that he was slightly ill.

Therefore, Simon, who was originally planning to spend the weekend in Japan, left on Friday afternoon under the eager farewell of his Japanese friends.

Another itinerary has been set in advance.

Destination: China.

I wanted to come back and have a look very early, but for various reasons I haven't been able to make the trip.

This trip to Asia happened to be on the way.

I have communicated with China in advance. Simon hopes that a completely private trip will be private. He does not have the idea of ​​going to the Great Hall to show his face when Daemen students visited China this year. If in western countries where the press is relatively free, faced with the chasing and interception of paparazzi, it would be impossible for Simon to do this, but China has no problem.

In recent years, under Simon's intentional or unintentional promotion, the Westeros company under the charge of James Rebold has unknowingly invested more than 700 million US dollars in China, involving all aspects of China's economic field.

For China at this stage, US$700 million is definitely a capital that cannot be underestimated.

Relying on Simon’s foresight advantage, in addition to the Westeros system’s own companies investing in China to establish factories and establish R&D centers, other funds are also targeted. Perhaps some investment goals will change due to Simon’s butterfly effect, or some funds will directly Being hacked, however, as long as some of the companies can grow up according to the previous timeline, the current investment will be able to obtain a return of ten times a hundred times in the future.

On the other hand, the major companies in the Westeros system, Daenerys, Igreat, Melisandre, Cersei Capital, Nokia, Cisco, AOL, Tincobel, etc., are all Has quietly established a branch in China, and has carried out very extensive cooperation with Chinese local enterprises.

Although Simon has never been to China before and has never publicly commented on this country, the Chinese government is clearly aware of Simon's attitude towards this country through the continuous inflow of huge capital from the Westeros system.

Therefore, learning that Simon wanted to conduct a private trip, the Chinese government quickly responded positively.

Although I very much hope that Simon's visit to China will be made public, which can greatly stimulate overseas capital's confidence in China's economy, but since this young rich man wants to keep it secret, it is of course no problem.

As long as this trip is satisfactory, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Simon originally planned to come to China from Japan on October 24. Since he was driven out by Japan ahead of time, his trip to China was also temporarily advanced.

Anyway, it’s a private trip, it doesn’t matter a few days or a few days.

Starting from Osaka, Simon arrived in Shanghai in the evening of October 21.

Because of Simon's personal habits, the person in charge of Westeros in China has already purchased a private residence for him.

The Chinese side has also specially equipped Simon with a team to help him coordinate any interested destinations.

It was agreed in advance not to have any contact with the government. That night, Simon only received a call from a senior in Shanghai. The two sides greeted each other very politely, and then there was only a 30-year-old woman named Lin Su. Leading a team of ten people around Simon. From the arrangement of a female person in charge with grace and grace, it is obvious that the Chinese side has also investigated Simon's preferences.

On Simon's side, apart from the crew members of the private jet and the two sets of bodyguards, only Girl A accompanied him.

There are no work arrangements for this trip.

Only one night in Shanghai, Simon quietly rushed to Suzhou the next day.

The purpose is simple.

Early autumn is a good time to eat crabs.

The most famous nature in Suzhou is the garden.

Simon planned to go to Suzhou to eat crabs and enjoy the scenery. Lin Su directly brought the four famous gardens in Suzhou for Simon to choose. The Humble Administrator's Garden, the most famous garden, was once visited, and he chose the Lingering Garden with the most common name.

Others let go for free activities, and only brought girl A and a group of bodyguards to their destination.

The Lingering Garden has been cleared in advance.

Walking between the gardens, the young female tour guide with a soft voice listened to the details and skillfully introduced the details of each scene. After half an hour, everyone came to a lakeside pavilion.

A set of seats was placed in the pavilion, and two tall girls in cheongsam were already waiting in it.

Only Simon, Lin Su, Girl A, and a 25-year-old girl named Chen Qing who was in charge of translating Alison sat down at the table.

Lin Su confirmed with Simon and ordered the two women next to him.

One of the girls left, and the other came over to pour some tea.

Lin Su and the maid poured Simon a cup of tea. Seeing the man took a sip, she was satisfied and asked in Mandarin: "Mr. Westeros, there is also a quyi arranged here. Would you like to listen to it?"

Simon put down his tea cup and glanced at the woman with the feminine and graceful temperament of a Jiangnan woman beside him. He did not hide his fluent Chinese, and smiled: "Do you think I understand?"

Lin Su also smiled nicely: "Mr. Westeros is an artist, and art is interlinked."

"You are a great speaker."

"Thank you."

"Suzhou," Simon thought for a moment and asked, "Kun Opera?"

Lin Su has been surprised by the almost unobstructed Chinese of the man in front of him since yesterday. At this time, when Simon said the word'Kun Opera', his eyes were still difficult to hide, but he nodded quickly: "Yes, Kunqu, I didn’t expect Mr. Westeros to know Kunqu.”

"If I remember correctly, the most famous piece in Kunqu Opera should be "The Peony Pavilion"?"

Lin Su's lips opened slightly: "Mr. Westeros, I have to admit, you surprised me even more."

Simon smiled and said: "Then "The Peony Pavilion", but I definitely can't understand it. If possible, find a lyrics for me. I remember the lyrics of "The Peony Pavilion" are beautiful. Although I don’t understand, I should Can understand."

Lin Su agreed, and this time he got up to make arrangements.
