Chapter 513: 455 Tianci Meeting (Happy National Day!)_2

He couldn’t help but cast a grateful look at Li Shuru.

It was this girl who had appeared at the construction site and stopped him.

"The world is yours now."

Before leaving, the old man patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder.

Although they had only been in contact for a short hour and had hardly exchanged a few words, he left an indelible impression in the hearts of Li Shuru, as well as Xue Yali and Bai Haoran.

"What kind of business does your second uncle operate overseas?"

Back at the hotel, Li Shuru couldn’t help asking.

Jiang Chen remained silent.

About this.

Li Shuru could fully understand.

When the other party was willing to tell her, they naturally would.

————

"Haven’t you made contact with Longtong yet?"

Returning to her boyfriend’s rented apartment, Xue Yali walked toward the study and leaned on the doorframe.

"It’s not that easy."

Liu Hongzhi sat in front of the computer, not turning his head, his eyes glued to the dense lines and indices on the computer screen.

"Such a big deal, doesn’t Longtong care?"

Xue Yali didn’t understand.

Let alone Longtong, short-selling a company with a market value of several hundred billion, if this news got out, Wall Street would probably go crazy.

Liu Hongzhi didn’t respond.

Xue Yali, leaning against the door, stood up straight, walked into the room, and sat down on a chair next to him.

"I’m asking you a question. If you ignore me, I’ll shut down your computer."

Liu Hongzhi adjusted his glasses, his gaze finally moving away from the red and green screen.

He looked at his girlfriend and fell silent for a moment.

"Do you think I can just go to Longtong and tell them that someone is planning to short K.E’s stock and ask for their cooperation?"

"Why not?"

Liu Hongzhi showed a hint of helplessness.

"Who do you think I am? Would Longtong believe that I know people with that kind of power? Okay, putting aside whether Longtong would believe me or not, to speak directly would definitely alarm the snake. Who knows if there’s anyone inside Longtong who’s close to the K.E Group? If the K.E Group gets wind of this beforehand, do you think they will make it easy for your brother-in-law to gather enough shares?"

Xue Yali then realized she had oversimplified the situation.

"Tell your brother-in-law to be more patient. I’ve already made contact with a senior manager at Longtong, and they’ve promised to give me a chance to meet them in the next few days."

Although her mother had always been proud of her for finding such a boyfriend, Xue Yali knew that on Wall Street, her boyfriend was not a favored son of heaven.

It’s just like how provincial top scholars who enter Tsinghua University would become quite ordinary.

It’s not that her boyfriend isn’t outstanding, but Wall Street is filled with top talents from all over the world; her boyfriend, who managed fifty million in funds, was really not considered a particularly special person here.

"As long as the meeting with him goes well and he meets your brother-in-law, it should be fine."

Liu Hongzhi took off his glasses.

"He gave me a pair of earrings today, and also, I met someone."

"Someone?"

Liu Hongzhi looked puzzled.

"Yes, an old man. My brother-in-law calls him Second Grandpa. From the way he talked, it seemed like he had been abroad for many years, and it appears that my brother-in-law’s short position on K.E is supported by him."

"You mean a Chinese person?"

Xue Yali nodded.

"Right."

Liu Hongzhi held his glasses, lost in thought.

"There are indeed many Chinese tycoons around the world, but there shouldn’t be many with such capabilities."

Liu Hongzhi had always been deeply interested in Jiang Chen’s background.

He put his glasses back on and, using a special channel, began searching online for known Chinese tycoons worldwide and then started filtering the results.

"Take a look, which one is the old man you saw today?"

As someone like him, he naturally had far more knowledge about wealthy individuals than the average person.

Xue Yali looked at the computer screen.

The number of overseas Chinese and Chinese-descent individuals was countless, but when it came to having the confidence to short a company worth hundreds of billions, the scope was drastically narrowed.

Looking at the dozen or so photos listed on the screen, Xue Yali shook her head.

"None of them?"

Liu Hongzhi frowned, "Take a closer look."

"It’s not there,"

Xue Yali’s tone was firm, "The old man isn’t among these."

"Could he be one of the hidden Chinese tycoons?"

Liu Hongzhi speculated.

Indeed, they had access to the information of most of the world’s wealthy, but it was just most, not all.

Even the Central Intelligence Agency of Meilijian probably couldn’t guarantee its information network was without fault or omission.

"That old man’s Tang suit, the cuffs of the Tang suit, seemed to be embroidered with a dragon."

Xue Yali remembered this detail.

"A dragon?"

Xue Yali nodded, "Yes, a dragon. On the inside of the cuffs, pretty concealed, but I saw it."

This was the characteristic.

Liu Hongzhi used this as a reference and went online to search again, but found nothing.

"Can you really find what you’re looking for with this kind of search?"

Xue Yali couldn’t help but speak out.

"You don’t understand."

Liu Hongzhi explained: "For people like that, the clothes they wear, the jewelry, even a small trademark gesture, all have symbolic meanings. The dragon you saw is likely a mark of his identity."

Sure enough.

Under the persistent searching by Liu Hongzhi, a clue was finally found in the vast network.

"The Tianci Association?"

Xue Yali was stunned.

Liu Hongzhi stared at the screen intently, the computer’s glow reflecting off his glasses.

The Tianci Association.

Founded by overseas Chinese.

Date of establishment unknown.

Organizational structure unknown.

But it has become an organization that can’t be ignored in the world, with enormous economic power.

Its members act discreetly, never exposing themselves to public view. If you see someone on the street with a golden dragon emblem embroidered on their clothing, it means you have just passed by one of them.

In summary, the information on this web page seemed like deliberately mystifying stories or made-up advertisements.

But after a brief moment of stupefaction, Xue Yali quickly recognized that the pattern on the web page was exactly the same as the dragon on the old man’s cuff.

"That’s it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

Excitement shimmered on Liu Hongzhi’s face, "Your brother-in-law is likely a member of this Tianci Association."

If Jiang Chen were here, he would certainly have been proud and praised the teachable nature of his student.

Don’t blame a financier for being so foolish.

Scientists like Newton and Einstein represent the pinnacle of human intelligence, but why did they delve into theology in their later years?

Because the more people know, the more "ignorant" they are.

And the smug intelligence of ordinary people stems from ignorance.

Just like Xue Yali, even though she was sure the two patterns were identical, she still had some trouble accepting this Tianci Association.

"Don’t you think this seems like someone made it up on purpose?"

"Made up?"

Liu Hongzhi laughed lightly, his smile instinctively revealing a trace of arrogance.

"That’s because you haven’t experienced it. Have you heard of the Freemasons?"

Xue Yali was taken aback.

The Freemasons.

She had never heard of the Tianci Association before, but she was well aware of the Freemasons.

They are said to be the most terrifying, largest, and most mysterious force in the world, with tendrils in every corner, capable of controlling the globe.

There are rumors that a dozen presidents of Meilijian were members of the Freemasons!

"I’ll tell you, the Freemasons really exist, and some of what you’ve heard may have been exaggerated, but some parts are not overstated at all. The world’s elite, being very smart, unite to protect and expand their interests. It’s human nature. And the Freemasons are just one representation of that."

Xue Yali’s mind reeled.

The Freemasons.

To have such a behemoth, rumored to wield influence over national sovereignties, proven to be real, was truly world-view shattering for ordinary people.

But then.

Her boyfriend seemed to have no reason to lie to her.

"It must be real then."

Liu Hongzhi’s eyes glittered with excitement, and the last bit of hesitation in his heart dissipated.

Karl Marx once said.

When profit reaches 10%, capital becomes adventurous; at 50% it becomes ready to break all laws; at 100% it tramples all human laws; and at 300% there is no crime it will not risk!

The Peninsula Hotel.

Jiang Chen stood on the balcony, overlooking the world’s financial center.

The prologue to a grand deception had been unfurled, and now it was time to see how many would dance to its tune.
