Chapter 2530: Childish means

Liu Fusheng nodded slightly. Bart was indeed the elite among the elites. He had already realized that the United States exuded an unusual smell.

The two agreed to meet privately later, so they didn't talk much at the dinner.

Outside the financial circle, Franklin raised his glass from a distance. Liu Fusheng walked over with a smile and said, "I was chatting with other people just now and neglected Mr. Franklin. I am deeply sorry for this."

Franklin smiled and said, "The dinner is full of distinguished guests. Mr. Liu must make more friends and expand his influence. Mr. Liu and I have been friends for a long time. Why would I care about this?"

After a pause, he continued, "You and Mr. Bart seemed to have had a private chat for a while? Did you gain anything?"

Liu Fusheng could judge that Franklin came to the United States and looked for him first because he smelled something. Now he asked directly, and the content of his conversation with Bart was equivalent to showing the cards in his hand.

"Mr. Bart and I have reached some consensus. As old friends, I can tell you clearly that there will be some large-scale financial shocks around the world in the future."

Franklin pondered and said, "What Mr. Liu meant by shock is the economic friction between China and the United States?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "I've said it before, at least at this stage, it's very unlikely that there will be economic and trade frictions between China and the United States, because they both have their own problems to solve, and no one wants to start a trade war with the other side."

Franklin said thoughtfully: "What the United States is best at is finding fault with other countries when it encounters economic problems at home, and transferring debts to other countries in the form of monetary tides. The Niger in East Asia and the developed countries in Western Europe have all been harvested by the United States using its economic hegemony."

What he meant was that even if the United States has problems, it will not give up the opportunity to reap the Republic. On the contrary, the United States may even be looking forward to this trade war so that it can get rid of its domestic financial burden through the form of a trade war.

Liu Fusheng said: "Everything is constantly changing, and no one can solve all problems in life with one method."

Franklin asked, "Mr. Liu, do you think this time is different?"

Liu Fusheng said calmly: "Please wait and see. This time it will definitely be different. I suggest you just watch the show and don't take sides. Doing so will not make you any profit, but it can avoid losses... As a friend, I can only say this much. It is not convenient for me to disclose any more detailed plans to the public."

Franklin nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, I am very grateful for telling me this news. At the same time, you and Mr. Bart have become friends. I believe Mr. Bart's investment actions can also serve as a reference for me. When the time comes, I only need to choose to follow up or hedge."

Liu Fusheng laughed: "Mr. Franklin is indeed a smart man."

Franklin said: "I owe you a favor. If you need it, I can help you solve some problems in the United States."

Liu Fusheng smiled and nodded, clinking glasses with Franklin.

After Franklin finished discussing business, he said goodbye to Liu Fusheng. For him, a dinner of this scale was also an opportunity to expand his network.

Liu Fusheng walked up to Zhang Maocai and they chatted in a much more casual manner.

"Brother Zhang, you are becoming more and more pretentious now. Thinking back to when we first met, it seems like a lifetime ago."

These words were very sincere. As the successor of Lu's Jade Industry, Zhang Maocai had been carefully trained by Mr. Lu over the years. Even though he tried his best to keep a low profile when meeting Liu Fusheng, his subtle temperament could not be hidden.

Now it is Robert's family dinner, Zhang Maocai must attend in formal attire. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Zhang Maocai's custom-made suit makes him look very imposing and noble.

In the past, due to the pressure of life, he had to be exposed to the wind and sun, which gave him a bronze skin, making him look like a statue, emitting a shiny and glowing luster.

This is also the magic of money and power.

Zhang Maocai smiled and said, "The most difficult time in my life was when I first met Governor Liu. Looking back on the past, it was Governor Liu who persuaded me to turn myself in, gave me the opportunity to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions, and also helped me with inventions..."

"I will remember all of this in my heart and will never forget it. As for my current life of extravagance and decadence, it seems more like a joke played by fate on me."

Liu Fusheng said: "Every stage of life has different scenery. Brother Zhang's nostalgia for the past proves that you are a man who values ​​friendship. However, we must look forward to everything. People live for the future, not the past."

Zhang Maocai sighed, then said, "You want to tell me about Forensic Doctor Sun?"

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. He did mean this because Zhang Maocai was really old and it was not a big deal for him to remain unmarried.

Mr. Lu is old, and Zhang Maocai's behavior makes Mr. Lu and his mother very anxious. If Zhang Maocai is still single when Mr. Lu passes away, he may even lose the right to inherit the Lu family jade business.

Because Mr. Lu had clearly stated that the real inheritor of Lu's Jade Business was not Zhang Maocai, but his child. That child had to be adopted into the Lu family in order to become the successor of Lu's Jade Business.

As the child's biological father, Zhang Maocai can naturally be in charge of this huge jade group.

Given the influence of Lu's Jade Industry, whether he is in charge of the company will not only affect him personally, but will also have a significant impact on the economic development of the Republic.

After all, Lu's Jade Industry has made many investments in China, and its contribution to the country cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Maocai said: "I have talked to my mother and uncle and asked them to give me another year. If I still cannot pursue Forensic Doctor Sun, I will not wait any longer. After all, I am no longer at the age where I can be willful. I have some responsibilities to shoulder."

Liu Fusheng said no more. This was Zhang Maocai's private life, and even as a good friend, he had no right to interfere.

Zhang Maocai took a sip of wine and said, "Governor Liu's performance just now won a lot of praise, but it also left some hidden dangers. I have asked Shi Xingyu to lead people to investigate. Kepu and Mr. Zhao are not very honest."

Liu Fusheng asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Maocai said, "After Kepu left the manor, he gathered a group of bodyguards and ambushed Governor Liu on the road he had to take to return to the hotel. I have told Shi Xingyu to send someone to keep a close eye on them and report any movement to me immediately."

Liu Fusheng smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Kepp is vindictive and his methods are very childish."

Zhang Maocai said: "I hope he doesn't go too far, otherwise, tomorrow's front page headlines will be about him getting beaten up."
