Chapter 1047: Taking Advantange of The Situation
Sitting in the gazebo behind his Coro Island mansion, Evelyn and Jiang Chen chatted about the future of Frankberg while leisurely enjoying the sea breeze. Ayesha, in a maid uniform, poured iced black tea for the two then left with gentle steps.
“Europe’s anti-dumping and countervailing investigations of Celestial Trade and Future Group are against the law. If I was in office, such a ridiculous thing wouldn’t happen.” Evelyn sipped the black tea in the cup and began to speak: “The whole world is enjoying the convenience brought by technology. It’s unreasonable for the people of Frankberg to only use smuggled goods. The consortium led by the Rothschild family has been controlling politics for too long. Now they’re working together to take the voting rights from our people? That’s theft!”
“I believe you will bring the much-needed change.” Jiang Chen smiled, took a sip of the iced black tea, and turned his eyes to gaze at the beach not far away.
His mansion was located in the deepest part of the wealthy area, and it was also at the highest point. In addition to the 500-meter-long private beach, they could also see the busy public beaches not far in the distance and the luxurious yachts in the sea.
Everyone who lived in this community possessed a significant amount of wealth. The beach and the yachts were naturally full of beauties with different skin colors. Jiang Chen once saw a man crowded by more than a dozen beautiful ladies on a yacht, and he suddenly felt that his life was too clear-minded.
Compared to those animals.
“The beach, sea breeze, palm trees… It’d be perfect if we had some champagne now.”
“If we popped some champagne now, what would we use to celebrate after the victory? Tea?” Jiang Chen joked.
“Hahaha.” Evelyn laughed. “I didn’t expect you to understand American humor.”
“I know a little about the cultures of all countries.” Jiang Chen smiled and put down the teacup in his hand. “Let’s leave the chitchat to dinner time. You flew here not just for a vacation, right?”
“Of course. Are we not discussing the future of Frankberg?” Evelyn laughed.
Jiang Chen shook his head. “We already agreed on opening the channels for Future Group and Celestial Trade prior. It was also a prerequisite for us to support you. This isn’t discussing the future.”
Evelyn spread his hands. “Well, precisely speaking, the purpose of my trip was to hear your opinion or recommendations.”
“Recommendations? What recommendations do you want?” Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the old man, intrigued.
“The civil war has pulled Frankberg into chaos. I believe you must’ve seen on the news what the country is like now. I’ll be straightforward—once I’m elected as the next prime minister, if I want to stabilize my position, I must fix the mess left by Peter and reinvigorate the Frankberg economy from its ruins.”
“You came to seek out investments?” Jiang Chen acutely sensed his intention.
“Yes.” Evelyn nodded solemnly. “What we lack is exactly what you have. Whether we have a poor market or an energized market depends on you.”
On the economic issue, Russia, which lacked self-sufficiency, definitely wouldn’t be able to help. Evelyn could only discuss this matter with Jiang Chen. If Frankberg wished to step out of the grim civil war, it must inject a lot of money. However, no one was willing to spend hundreds of billions to take a risk on Europe, which would be in turmoil for the next decade or even longer.
Evelyn anxiously observed Jiang Chen’s expression, and he was relieved that he didn’t see signs of rejection. However, Jiang Chen’s grin made him question if the decision to ask the question was wise…
Jiang Chen smiled. “Are you sure? My appetite is very big.”
Evelyn’s eyebrows twitched, and he bit the bullet. “Go ahead.”
