Yang Jing's invitation made the Oldmans a little hesitant. They both had good jobs in New Zealand. One was a middle-level manager at ANZ Bank of New Zealand, and the other was a middle-level manager at Australia and New Zealand Bank, with a good annual income.

Moreover, since the two of them were able to sit in such positions, they were naturally very shrewd. Therefore, in the conversation with Yang Jing just now, through the information Yang Jing said such as "hiring a polar research vessel to travel to the Arctic" and "having been to Alert and Siberia", the couple had already judged that the unprepossessing young Chinese man in front of them was actually a wealthy man with a huge fortune.

If Yang Jing was an ordinary hiker, the Oldmans would probably have readily agreed, but faced with the invitation from a wealthy man, they hesitated.

The nature of their work means that they often come into contact with wealthy people. They are also well aware that these wealthy people are not easy to get along with. Once they offend these wealthy people by mistake, they may not say anything in person, but no one can guarantee whether these wealthy people will retaliate afterwards.

And once these wealthy people retaliate, given the couple's wealth and status, they will definitely be unable to resist.

So, after a brief eye contact, the couple smiled and shook their heads at the same time. Tony said, "I'm sorry, Albert. Nicole and I have used up all our previously saved vacation time to prepare for this California hiking challenge. If we go to Antarctica at the end of this year, I'm afraid we won't have that much vacation time. So, I can only say sorry."

Yang Jing didn't feel unhappy about the other party's polite refusal. He also sensed the two people's restraint, so he smiled and said, "Since you and Nicole don't have time, forget it. But when I go to Antarctica, I might pass by New Zealand. I know the scenery in New Zealand is very beautiful, and it happens that my fiancée is also a person who likes to travel. Then the two of us might go to New Zealand to stay for a while."

"That's great. When you and your fiancée arrive in New Zealand, be sure to contact me. Nicole and I will be your tour guides." Tony said politely.

Yang Jing smiled and nodded, raised his hand to check his watch, then stood up and said, "I'm very happy to meet you two today, and I'm very grateful that you two have spent so much time chatting with me. But I still need to get to Donnell Camp, about six or seven kilometers ahead, before evening, so I have to leave now."

Tony and Nicole also stood up. After saying goodbye to each other, Yang Jing continued on his way.

This chance encounter made Yang Jing feel very happy. This kind of pure communication between fellow hikers is actually a very pleasant thing, and the Rocky Mountains in winter do have a unique charm, which gradually made the unpleasantness brought by the Russians disappear.

After turning a valley, Yang Jing looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he climbed up to a dense forest halfway up the hillside, activated the restricted time-space shuttle skill, and came to the time and space of 1988.

KY Investment Fund is thriving now. Although the huge profits earned by KY Investment Fund in last year's US stock market crash did not enter the United States due to the US capital gains tax and heavy investment in the Japanese stock market, the principal of KY Investment Fund and the profits made in the US stock market during the last stock market crash are enough to support the current layout of KY Investment Fund.

The capital gains tax in the United States is a very fucked-up and scary tax. Just like the huge profits that KY Investment Fund made from the European and East Asian markets during the stock market crash, most of them have not entered the United States now. Because once they enter the United States, they must be used for money laundering, otherwise they will need to pay up to 28% capital gains tax.

Therefore, unless the money must be used, Yang Jing would not be the one to pay this huge amount of tax to the IRS.

But even so, as KY Investment Fund began to emerge in the American financial market, many people began to target KY Investment Fund. The most dangerous person among them is Rudy Giuliani, who is now the prosecutor of the Southern District of New York.

"How come we are being targeted by this guy?" Sitting in the office of Henry Williams, CEO of KY Investment Fund, Yang Jing seemed a little annoyed by the news given by Henry.

Others don't know Rudy Giuliani, but as a person who traveled from the future, how could Yang Jing not know this guy's name and the horrible things he did when he was a prosecutor?

Before Michael Bloomberg became the mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York from 1994 to 2001. During the 9/11 incident, Giuliani, then the mayor of New York, was known worldwide for his outstanding leadership and earned the title of "America's Mayor". He also became one of the Republican presidential candidates in 2008, but he later withdrew from the presidential election. Now, this guy is Trump's cybersecurity consultant.

In American politics, Giuliani is a very outstanding politician, but compared to his later achievements in politics, what he did before becoming mayor of New York is even more terrifying.

Giuliani is of Italian descent and grew up in Brooklyn. After graduating from college, he entered the judicial field, starting as a secretary to the district judge in the Southern District of New York. He has served as a federal prosecutor, director of the federal narcotics department, and was promoted to senior prosecutor, assistant deputy attorney general, and chief of staff to the deputy attorney general. In the early 1980s, this guy became the deputy attorney general of the Reagan administration, the third most important person in the American judicial field.
