Celia Miller is very efficient.
Simon continued to arrange, and the next day, the Rwandan government in Africa suddenly held a press conference, targeting France, claiming that the Rwandan authorities had obtained important evidence that the French government was suspected of participating in promoting the Rwandan genocide in April this year.
According to the final casualty statistics, the total number of victims of the Rwandan Genocide, which broke out on April 7 in the first half of the year and lasted for about ten days, reached 270,000.
Although this number is far lower than the 800,000 to 1 million victims in the original time and space, it is one of the rare racist massacre disasters after World War II. In addition, the Westeros system contacted all media Sparing no effort to exaggerate, and exposing a large number of brutal and shocking pictures and images of the massacre, the social impact of this massacre is far greater than before.
Because no one dares to bear the charge of participating in promoting the massacre.
This is especially true for France, a traditional power that is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and has profound influence in Africa.
Most of the blame for the massacre has been borne by the former Hutu government of Rwanda. However, once definite evidence emerges proving that the French government was involved in the massacre, not only will the fierce public opinion be blamed, it will also discredit France in front of the global public. , a serious blow to France's international image, and there will inevitably be many people who take responsibility for this incident, whether actively or forced to do so. Many political leaders, including current French President Mitterrand, may step down as a result and suffer long-term infamy.
As a result, less than an hour after the news about Rwanda accusing the French government of being involved in the massacre appeared on the front page of the Igret portal, France responded quickly.
While resolutely refuting the Rwandan government's accusations, a French government spokesman also stated that if the Rwandan authorities continue to make such groundless accusations against France, the French government will stop all humanitarian aid to Rwanda.
If it were just a rebuttal, it would be nothing. The French government spokesperson’s threat to stop aid was obviously not well thought out.
A second related article soon appeared on the Igret 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, equivalent to just over 2 million US dollars, which is completely worthless compared with the more than 800 million US dollars in aid that the Rwandan government has received from around the world since the disaster.
Even with this amount of money, the French government has only cashed in less than half so far.
Of course, there are more humanitarian aid funds and supplies initiated by the French people. The French government has no right to interfere in this regard. 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 stopping aid, the Rwandan government acted quite tough and immediately stated that in order to ensure that the investigation of the incident would not be affected in any way, Rwanda would return the 6.5 million francs in aid funds it had received from the French government. At the same time, the Rwandan government also published some confessions of former Hutu terrorists through its official website, speaking conclusively against France.
The sudden news incident left many people confused, but it did not prevent all media from following up quickly.
In just one day, Rwanda's accusations that France was involved in the first half of the massacre began to arouse around the world.
In modern society, there are rarely simple and isolated news incidents that occur inexplicably between two countries. There are often deeper games behind the scenes.
People with a keen sense of smell immediately discovered the fishiness.
The Rwandan government's sudden revelation of this matter will actually do no good to itself. If it is finally proven that France was involved in the Rwandan genocide, and this old imperialist power with deep roots in Africa cannot step down, the Rwandan government will not be able to step down in the future. Think better of it.
So why did Rwanda suddenly do this
Thinking that the news of the incident first appeared in the Igrit portal, and that the Westeros system was also adding fuel to the fire later, the matter does not seem so difficult to understand.
While 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, the Westeros mercenaries must withdraw from Rwanda at the end of October. Now that the date is gradually approaching, Clinton thought that Simon suddenly provoked this incident in order to extend the stay of the Westeros mercenaries in Rwanda. .
The US military is really familiar with similar techniques all over the world.
Faced with Clinton's well-intentioned advice, who was well versed in political rules, Simon assured the president that the Westeros system did not intend to do this, and the Westeros mercenaries would leave Rwanda on time. In order to dispel the White House's doubts, Simon also hinted on the phone that there was another reason for the incident.
At the end of the call, the President also teased Simon for once again triggering the 'Westeros Effect' in Japan.
Simon set off from New York on October 18th and arrived in Japan at around four o'clock in the afternoon on October 19th.
The Tokyo stock market has closed for the day, so Wednesday is nothing special.
In order to warm up the publicity for Universal Studios Osaka, Simon's trip was not deliberately low-key. The group arrived at Osaka Kansai International Airport, and a large number of well-informed Japanese media came to the airport to pick them up.
The Osaka City Government was also very enthusiastic about Simon's arrival and prepared a welcome dinner that evening.
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse the next day.
Simon did not expect that the Mexican government would announce that it would abandon its 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 around the world.
The next morning, many Japanese media reported the news of Simon's arrival in Osaka.
Immediately afterwards, the Tokyo stock market began to fall at the opening of the morning.
After the crash five years ago, the Nikkei Index experienced its lowest point of 16,000 points last year, and rebounded to around 20,000 points in the first half of this year. However, it has been cut in half from the original stock market peak of around 40,000 points.
On October 20, when the Tokyo stock market opened, the Nikkei Index was still at 21,079 points. As the impact of the Mexican economic crisis came, the Nikkei Index plummeted by 712 points in just one day, and closed at a low of 20,367 points in the afternoon. The single-day decline was unexpectedly Up to 3.4%.
While professionals understood that this plunge was caused by the collapse of the Mexican currency, the general public-facing media did not think so.
Everyone looked around and suddenly discovered that when Simon Westeros arrived, the Japanese stock market plummeted.
Okay, that's not really a joke.
Not funny either.
Comparing the world's major stock markets on October 20, the U.S. Dow Jones Index fell by 1.3%, the London stock market fell by 0.8%, the French Frankfurt stock market fell by 1.8%, and the German stock market fell by 0.3%. Only the poor Japanese stock market fell. It's as high as 3.4%. What else could it be if it wasn't the 'Westeros Effect'
Disaster!
This is not the end.
The next day, Friday, October 21st.
On the last trading day of this week, the Japanese stock market fell 591 points again throughout the day. The Nikkei index fell back to within 20,000 points, closing at 19,776 points. Although the single-day decline narrowed compared with yesterday, it still reached 2.9%.
In the scheduled schedule, in addition to inspecting the construction of most of Universal Studios, Simon will also attend a gathering of Japanese business leaders in Tokyo on Friday evening, and promised to have a special meeting with the new Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama who just took office in June this year at noon on Saturday. Formal meeting.
Now.
You hurry up and leave!
The Japanese stock market plummeted 6.2% in two days. No one can bear this kind of stimulation.
Even if the stock market does not open for two days on the weekend, who knows whether you, the disaster star, will continue to be unlucky next week if you continue to stay in Japan.
Everyone has suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash in the past two days. Forget about parties and stuff, let’s do it next time. The new Prime Minister, who originally planned to gain some prestige by meeting Simon, canceled the meeting on the grounds of slight illness.
Therefore, Simon, who originally planned to spend the weekend in Japan, set off on Friday afternoon with the enthusiastic farewell of his Japanese friends.
Another itinerary has been booked in advance.
Destination: China.
I have wanted to come back and visit for a long time, but due to various reasons I have never been able to do so.
This trip to Asia happened to be on my way.
Simon had already communicated with the Chinese side in advance, and Simon hoped for a completely private and undisclosed trip. He had no idea of going to the Great Hall to show his face when his classmates, Damen, visited China at the beginning of the year. If in a Western country where the press is relatively free, it would be impossible for Simon to do this in the face of the paparazzi's pursuit. But in China, there is no problem.
In recent years, driven by Simon intentionally or unintentionally, the Westeros company headed by James Raybould has unknowingly invested more than 700 million US dollars in China, involving all aspects of the Chinese economy.
For China at this stage, US$700 million is definitely a capital that cannot be underestimated.
Relying on Simon's prophetic advantage, in addition to investments by companies in the Westeros system to establish factories and R&D centers in China, other funds are also targeted. Perhaps some investment goals will change due to Simon's butterfly effect, and perhaps some funds will directly Being hacked, however, as long as some of these companies can grow according to the previous timeline, the current investment will be able to obtain a return of ten or a hundred times in the future.
On the other hand, the major companies in the Westeros system, including Daenerys, Ygritte, Melisandre, Cersei Capital, Nokia, Cisco, AOL, Tinker Bell, etc., are all It has quietly established a branch in China and has carried out very extensive cooperation with local Chinese companies.
Although Simon has never been to China before and has never made any public comments about this country, through the continuous inflow of huge capital from the Westeros system, the Chinese government is obviously aware of Simon's attitude towards this country.
Therefore, learning that Simon wanted to go on a private trip, the Chinese government quickly responded positively.
Although I really hope that Simon, the super rich man's visit to China, can 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, of course there is 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 kicked out by Japan in advance, his trip to China has also been temporarily advanced.
It’s a private trip anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s a few days early or a few days late.
Departing from Osaka, Simon arrived in Shanghai in the evening of October 21.
Because of Simon's personal habits, the person in charge of the Westeros Company in China has already purchased a private residence for him.
China has also equipped a team specifically for Simon to help him coordinate any destinations he is interested in.
Having agreed in advance not to have any contact with the authorities, Simon only received a call from a senior executive in Shanghai that night. The two parties greeted each other politely, and then only a 30-year-old woman named Lin Su was left. Led a team of ten people around Simon, and from the arrangement of a graceful female person in charge, it was clear that China had also conducted an investigation into Simon's preferences.
On Simon's side, in addition to the crew members of the private jet and two sets of bodyguards, there was only Girl A accompanying him.
There are no work arrangements for this trip.
After only staying in Shanghai for one night, Simon quietly rushed to Suzhou the next day.
The purpose is simple.
Early autumn is a good time to eat crabs.
The most famous thing about Suzhou is naturally its gardens.
Simon planned to go to Suzhou to eat crabs and enjoy the scenery. Lin Su directly brought four famous gardens in Suzhou for Simon to choose from. He had been to the most famous Humble Administrator's Garden, and he randomly selected the Lingering Garden with the most common name.
The others were left to roam freely, and rushed to their destination with only Girl A and a group of bodyguards.
Liuyuan has been cleared in advance.
Wandering among the gardens, listening to the young female tour guide with a soft voice introducing the details of each scene in detail, half an hour later, everyone arrived at a lakeside pavilion.
There was a set of seats placed in the pavilion, and two tall girls wearing cheongsam were already waiting among them.
Only Simon, Lin Su, Girl A and a twenty-five or six-year-old girl named Chen Qing who was responsible for translating for Alison sat down at the dining table.
Lin Su confirmed with Simon and ordered the two women next to him.
One of the girls left, and another came over to pour tea for several people.
Lin Su and other maids poured Simon a cup of tea. Seeing the man take a sip and taste it, he looked very satisfied and asked in Mandarin: "Mr. Westeros, there are also musical performances arranged here. Do you want to listen to it?"
Simon put down the tea cup and glanced at the woman next to him who had the unique soft and graceful temperament of Jiangnan women. He did not hide his fluent Chinese and said with a smile: "Do you think I can understand you?"
Lin Su also showed a nice smile: "Mr. Westeros is an artist, and art is all connected."
"You are a great speaker."
"Thanks."
"This side of Suzhou," Simon thought for a moment and asked, "Kun Opera?"
Lin Su had been surprised by the almost unimpeded Chinese of the man in front of her since yesterday. When she heard Simon say the word 'Kun Opera', she still couldn't hide the strange look in her eyes, but she still nodded quickly: "Yes, Kun Opera, I really didn’t expect Mr. Westeros to know Kun Opera.”
"If I remember correctly, the most famous piece in Kun Opera should be "The Peony Pavilion"?"
Lin Su's red lips parted slightly: "Mr. Westeros, I have to admit, you surprised me even more."
Simon smiled and said: "Then "The Peony Pavilion", but I definitely don't understand it. If you can, find me a libretto. I remember that the libretto of "The Peony Pavilion" is very beautiful. Although I can't understand it, I should I can understand it.”
Lin Su agreed and got up to make arrangements in person this time.
