Chapter 733
At night,
London was overcast, as if it would rain at any time.
Downing Street Prime Minister's Office,
The light in the Prime Minister's office turned on, as if illuminating Great Britain.
Prime Minister Major was annoyed.
"Damn traitor!"
Patten's betrayal undoubtedly cast a shadow over his Prime Minister election two years later. Because Patten was promoted and appointed by him.
Once the Labour Party seized this point, his re-election would be very difficult.
He was thinking about how to solve it.
Two plans—
Plan 1: Kill Director Guan Zu, make the Five Star Group fall into internal chaos, and then gradually receive some of the Five Star Group's assets through the undercover agents of the parasitism plan.
Plan 2: Kill Patten, and frame it on the East or the Five Star Group.
His pen kept tapping on the paper.
"The first plan, the difficulty of killing Director Guan Zu is very high, unless you send an ace agent..."
"The second plan, frame it on the East?"
Prime Minister Major shook his head immediately.
The East might take countermeasures, affecting the relationship between the two sides, and even retaliating in other international affairs.
The matter is too big, he can't carry it.
The risk is too high.
His gaze looked unconsciously at the map of Hong Kong on the wall.
Or... frame it on the Five Star Group?
"Wait..."
"Can I..."
His Adam's apple rolled heavily, and a plan suddenly popped out—"Assassinate Director Guan Zu. If successful, everything will be fine. If it fails, frame it on Patten, and then send a killer to assassinate Patten, but don't kill him. This can cause the struggle between the Five Star Group and the Governor, and stir up public opinion unfavorable to Hong Kong and the East."
"Assassinate Patten, frame it on Director Guan Zu..."
He kept thinking about the details.
"Need to find an Asian-faced killer, fire two shots at Patten, and it must not be fatal..."
"Injury is best. Not only can it reduce the influence, but it can also allow Patten to retire for a legitimate reason and replace him with a new Governor..."
He poured himself a glass of wine. The amber liquid shook violently in the glass, reflecting the excitement burning in his eyes!
"When those two groups of people in Hong Kong fight until they are bloody, what will the international community think of Hong Kong... At that time, the direction of public opinion will naturally lean towards us."
*Pitter-patter*~~~
*Boom*~~
After the thunder and lightning, the flash illuminated his excited side face.
It rained.
Raindrops hit the glass window *pitter-patter*, and instantly the whole of London turned into a world of rain.
Major drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Just do it!"
Hong Kong.
Causeway Bay,
The sun was bright, and the sun was hot to the point of distortion.
"Ah ah ah~~~"
"Finally finished the exam!"
Gong Gu carried his schoolbag and ran home at high speed.
On the table, his mother Li Xia had already boiled mung bean soup for him and iced it.
Gong Gu *gulp gulp gulp*~~ drank a bowl in one breath, refreshing!
"Hong Kong is good, but it's really too hot, not as cool as the Imperial Capital."
Li Xia smiled when she heard this: "But when Beijing is cold, it's also quite cold, and you don't even want to go out the door."
Gong Gu thought about it, it seems so!
Li Xia: "By the way, how did you do on the exam?"
Gong Gu is in Form 2 this year.
Gong Gu patted his chest: "Don't worry, how could my studies be bad."
He has high talent for martial arts, and his studies are also top-notch.
Simply the perfect "child of someone else's family"!
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
"Where to?"
"Central Plaza!"
Gong Gu waved his hand and ran away. Li Xia smiled helplessly and cleaned up the bowls to wash.
She was very happy about Gong Gu's change.
In the Imperial Capital before, Gong Gu had always been a very sensible and mature child. His father was often nowhere to be seen, the family was poor, and his mother was sick. As a child, Gong Gu needed to bear the hardships of life.
However, Gong Gu was still a child after all.
Li Xia was very happy about Gong Gu's steadiness and maturity, but she also felt very sorry for his steadiness and maturity.
And after coming to Hong Kong, Li Xia's illness got better, Gong Wei came home every day, the economic conditions improved, and there was a good friend Ghost Eye to play with.
Gong Gu finally restored his youthful nature, lively and clever.
Gong Gu went downstairs, took the bus, and came all the way to the downstairs of Central Plaza. Got off the bus, passed the security check.
"Hey, it's Little Gu~~~"
The security guard swiped his card and let him in.
Although Gong Gu is small, he is already a frequent visitor to the group.
"Hello Uncle Liang~~"
Gong Gu waved and greeted happily.
Arrived at the 69th floor and met up with Ghost Eye.
The 69th floor is the fitness, entertainment, and relaxation place for the entire Five Star Group. In addition to a large amount of fitness equipment, fighting rings, simulated golf courses, there are coffee, tea rooms, and recently added VCD machines (home theater), as well as arcade games, etc...
"*Bang bang bang*~~~~"
Gong Gu was fighting back and forth with Ghost Eye in the ring.
On the side, a girl named Xiao Fen, the daughter of Poison Gu and Ah Fen, was adopted earlier than Ghost Eye and Gao Hu. At this time, she was also gradually growing up, carrying her parents' appearance genes, and was graceful.
She was nervously watching the Ghost Eye brother and Gong Gu brother in the ring, but more of her eyes were on the cooler Ghost Eye brother.
Mainly because he is handsome.
(Gong Gu: I feel hurt~~)
Ghost Eye is now 16 years old. With sufficient nutrition, he is 177cm tall. Coupled with that little cool temperament and tall figure, he is definitely a handsome young man.
20 minutes later, the two came down from the ring sweating profusely, and Xiao Fen handed two bottles of water to Ghost Eye and Gong Gu.
Then she also handed a towel to Ghost Eye.
Gong Gu was puzzled: "Xiao Fen, why don't I have a towel."
Xiao Fen's face turned red instantly.
Ghost Eye was also puzzled: "Yeah, why doesn't Little Gu have one."
Other employees on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.
Little brat~~~
Girls mature earlier than boys.
Gong Gu suggested: "Brother Ghost Eye, shall we play Street Fighter?"
Everyone has 20 minutes of arcade game time to relax every day, and Gong Gu plays every day during the summer vacation.
Ghost Eye had no interest in arcade games and waved his hand: "You play, I have something to do."
After speaking, he left with Xiao Fen.
Gong Gu had no choice but to play by himself.
Soon,
Gong Gu found a "Street Fighter" arcade seat and started working.
"Street Fighter," also known as "Street Fighter," the first generation game was released on August 30, 1987, and can be considered one of the most popular arcade games in the early days.
Now playing "Street Fighter 2," which added a 3vs3 mode.
Just at this moment,
"Who secretly stole my heart~~"
Wu Ying came here to relax, humming a song, and walked into the arcade area.
Seeing Gong Gu playing alone: "Hey, Little Gu, I'll play with you..."
Gong Gu was excited: "Okay, I'm very powerful, don't cry if you lose!"
Wu Ying curled his lips and sneered with full disdain: "I will lose?!"
Gong Gu: "Come on! Who's afraid of whom!"
Soon,
The two sat together, controlling the characters left and right.
Gong Gu's strength is still very strong. The joystick was shaken out of sparks in his hands, and Ken's Shoryuken followed by Hadouken was played with great momentum.
Directly staged a god-like operation of one-on-three, defeating Wu Ying's carefully selected Chun-Li, Guile, and Dhalsim!
"Hahaha~~~~"
Gong Gu laughed: "Uncle Wu Ying, I said it, I am very strong, you, can't win me."
Wu Ying was anxious: "Don't be proud too early, there will be a time for you to cry!"
Losing to a little brat, how embarrassing.
He didn't play less arcade games before, and he could be considered a veteran.
The second round, this time, Wu Ying began to take it seriously, his eyes sharp, every move, the posture was like fighting for his life with the game controller.
The two went back and forth in front of the arcade, and the attack and defense conversion was dazzling.
As a result, while playing.
Gong Gu was obviously better, and won again!
Gong Gu: "Hahaha~~~~"
Wu Ying: "............"
Even more anxious.
"I don't believe I can't win you!"
"Come again!!"
The third round...
The fourth round...
The fifth round...
Lost three rounds in a row again.
Gong Gu put his hands on his hips: "Hahahaha~~~~"
Wu Ying gritted his teeth.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't play anymore. But Wu Ying is a child-like person. At this time, he was stubborn with Gong Gu.
The sixth round.
As a result, the gap in strength was clear at a glance. Although Wu Ying was already very serious, Gong Gu's combo move fell, directly knocking Wu Ying's Ryu's blood bar down "*swish swish*", and there was only a little bit left!
"Hahaha~~ Uncle Wu Ying, you are going to lose again~~"
Gong Gu laughed!
Wu Ying saw that he was about to lose.
Anxious!
Suddenly his eyes froze, and he saw the stool Gong Gu was sitting on.
The "bad water" in his heart suddenly bubbled up!
He grabbed the arcade table, kicked it with one foot, "*clatter*"~~~~
Gong Gu's stool turned upside down!
Gong Gu was caught off guard and fell firmly on his butt.
Wu Ying seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, frantically pressed the buttons and joystick, a set of combo moves flowed like water, first a precise spinning kick kicked the opponent staggering, then followed by a hundred-crack fist "*da da da da*" crazy output, and finally a Shoryuken rushed into the sky, directly pressing Gong Gu's Chun-Li on the ground and frantically "rubbing".
Finally, Chun-Li was defeated.
Wu Ying, wins!
"Wah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha——"
Wu Ying stood up, let out a big laugh, and looked at Gong Gu mockingly.

Wu Ying proudly clamored: "With your three-legged cat kung fu, you will never win me."
"Go back and practice more."
Gong Gu: "............"
The employees resting around were also one by one: "............"
Collectively silenced.
Your integrity has fallen all over the floor, hey!
But thinking about Wu Ying's personality, it seems very reasonable again. Brother Wu Ying's integrity has long been lost.
Just at this moment,
Two black shadows stood behind them.
Director Guan Zu, Gong Wei.
Gong Wei grabbed Gong Gu's collar and lifted him up: "Did you do your homework? Running here to play!"
Gong Gu was righteous: "I'm already on summer vacation, no homework."
Director Guan Zu looked at Wu Ying speechlessly: "Is it very fulfilling to bully a child? Why don't you go to the ring and have a fight with Little Gu?"
Wu Ying awkwardly coughed.
Gong Wei said to Gong Gu: "I'm going on a business trip for a week, take good care of your mother at home."
Gong Gu: "Ah?"
1 hour later,
Kai Tak Airport.
Director Guan Zu, Gong Wei, Tian Tian Yangsheng, plus Gao Hu, Tian Tian Yangyi, entered the airport.
Boarded the plane, took off, and headed straight for San Francisco.
18 hours later, arrived in San Francisco.
Gao Hu and Tian Tian Yangyi boarded a plane to Wall Street. The reason why Tian Tian Yangyi was brought along was because New York is not the sphere of influence of the Umbrella, and the security in the United States is understood by everyone, so Director Guan Zu assigned a bodyguard to Gao Hu.
And Director Guan Zu, Gong Wei, and Tian Tian Yangsheng rested for a night, put on 'Superman Glasses', disguised themselves as American businessmen, and took a plane to Indonesia.
This time, Director Guan Zu wanted to lay out the pieces of the financial crisis in advance.
New York, Manhattan, Greenwich Village.
In a luxury manor.
This is one of Soros's manor villas in New York. Usually on vacation, Soros will come here.
George Soros was born on August 12, 1930, in a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary.
During World War II, he relied on wisdom and courage to help his family and other Jews avoid the persecution of the German army, winning a lot of praise from the Jewish group, and also laid the foundation for his future.
In 1956, Soros moved to the United States and devoted himself to the financial industry. He started as the most basic arbitrage trader, and relying on his keen insight and analytical ability into the market, he gradually emerged.
In 1969, Soros founded the Double Eagle Fund (later renamed Quantum Fund) with an initial capital of 4 million US dollars, of which 1 million was his own savings.
30 years later, in 1995, the Quantum Fund was already a crocodile-level fund in the global financial market, with continuous expansion of scale, total assets exceeding 6 billion US dollars, and mobilizable funds exceeding hundreds of billions of US dollars, ranking among the forefront in the field of hedge funds.
Today,
The morning sun shone gently on the manor.
66-year-old Soros wore loose pajamas, pacing leisurely in the manor garden, with a maid following closely behind.
In the garden, all kinds of flowers were competing for beauty.
Soros held flower shears, focused on pruning the branches and leaves of a dwarfed begonia, his movements were skillful and carried a bit of comfort.
30 minutes later,
At this time,
A car drove slowly into the villa.
"Boss~~"
The secretary came.
He took out a document from his briefcase.
"The investigation report on Thailand is out..."
Soros's expression moved slightly, he stopped pruning, and put the shears on the tray held by the maid.
"Go to the study."
Soon,
Soros and the secretary came to the study.
The study was very spacious, about 100 square meters, with a huge window, from which you could see the garden outside. The sunlight shone through the thin gauze curtains, making the study very bright.
In the study, the walnut bookshelves were tall and heavy, filled with various books and documents.
Soros walked to the desk, sat down, took the investigation report on Thailand from his subordinate, and read it.
"Analysis Report on Thailand's Economic Situation and the Pegging of the Thai Baht to the US Dollar"
"I. Analysis of Thailand's Current Inflation Status"
"(I) Overview of Recent Inflation Data"
"(II) Analysis of Causes of Inflation Fluctuations"
"1. Domestic economic overheating: Thailand's economy has grown rapidly in recent years, and a large amount of foreign capital has poured in, pushing domestic investment and consumption to overheat. The real estate market in major cities such as Bangkok is abnormally hot, and housing prices have soared by more than 50% in the past two years..."
"2. Excessive growth of money supply: The Bank of Thailand has been stimulating the economy in the past few years..."
Not long after, he showed a satisfied look.
Opportunity!
It's here!
He couldn't help but recall the pound sniper battle in 1992 in his mind.
That year, he accurately perceived the flaw that the pound was overvalued under the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, and decisively led the Quantum Fund to sell short the pound on a large scale.
Although the British government tried its best to defend the pound exchange rate, it finally failed, the pound depreciated, and it decoupled from the European and American currency system.
His Quantum Fund reaped a huge profit of about 1 billion US dollars from it!
He also became famous because of this and was called "the man who broke the Bank of England."
Now, 3 years have passed.
He has not had any big moves, because there is no suitable opportunity.
He needs a new huge victory to earn money, honor, and prestige.
Soros asked: "When will the reports of other Asian countries arrive."
The secretary lowered his head: "Within half a month, all investigations will be completed!"
Half a month...
"Let them be faster!"
"10 days!"
Soros was already a bit impatient, and the blood on his body began to heat up.
