"OK....."

Before the adjutant could finish speaking, George's voice rang out again.

"Oh, right,"

"Remind them again, Gao Ren absolutely, positively cannot have any problems!"

"They know exactly what the consequences would be if Gao Ren were to lose even a hair on Dongjin's head!"

The adjutant watched as George spoke, his expression more serious than ever before.

Knowing that George wasn't joking, he

A hint of hesitation appeared on his face...

George looked at the conflicted expression on his face, then smiled and said,

"Just say what you have to say!"

"General,"

"According to our intelligence agents, Gao Ren is not a clean slate..."

"The profit split he agreed upon with you before was 30% for him and 70% for you!"

"But according to the information that came back, Gao Ren not only secretly gave Cook 10% of the profits,"

"They also hid all the paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, and antiques they looted from those Japanese pigs' homes..."

After listening to his adjutant's words, George remained silent for three seconds before asking,

That's it?

The adjutant, seeing the calm on George's face, was immediately overcome with shock.

Wait a minute, bro!

You shouldn't be making that face!

Gao Ren and Cook are taking your money!

Shouldn't you be smashing your glass on the ground and angrily cursing Gao Ren and Cook's entire family?

"General, aren't you angry?"

Seeing the confusion and surprise on his adjutant's face, George laughed heartily, took a sip of red wine, and said...

"angry?"

Why should I be angry!

"If it weren't for Gao Ren and Cook, would we have been able to bypass those members of Congress and get this 60% directly?"

"Or do you think that since such a large sum of cash and gold bars were generated on Cook's turf, we don't have to give Cook even a ten percent?"

It's understandable that Cook's lieutenant would be given a share.

After all, we're trying to steal food from someone else's turf, and we're making them take the blame.

Although it was agreed that all the shares acquired through the takeover would be his, it wasn't realistic to expect him to receive no share of the cash and gold bars...

But what puzzled him was that Gao Ren had clearly set him up...

Seeing the adjutant's puzzled look, George gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

“I’m asking you,”

"Besides embezzling those paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, and antiques,"

"Did you take even a penny or a gram of extra gold?"

The adjutant paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"No!"

Upon receiving this answer, George's smile widened even further.

"Then let me ask you,"

"Can Gao Ren convert all the things he embezzled into cash directly in the country?"

to be honest,

The antiques in the north are indeed very beautiful and of great historical value.

But as I said before, Eastern and Western aesthetics are different!

They are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh.

But asking them to spend tens of millions of US dollars at auctions to buy Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings, as well as those blue and white porcelains... is out of the question!

"cannot....."

"Nearly 99% of the buyers of these antiques in the north are their own people!"

"Is there a problem with Gao Ren embezzling some things that can't be exchanged for money?"

Faced with George's question, the adjutant shook his head and said,

"I understand, I will go and do as you instruct!"

After the adjutant left, George spoke to the maid who was waiting nearby.

"Pack up all the antiques from the north of my house; I'm going to give them to my business partner, Mr. Gao, as a gift!"

The maid, dressed in a maid uniform with black stockings over her beautiful legs, nodded in response.

"Yes, General!"

Tonight in Dongjin is destined to be an extraordinary night...

The Ministry of Finance building was bombed and destroyed by unidentified terrorists, led by Takuto Murakami, the Minister of Finance.

The heads of powerful financial families like Musashi and Miyamoto were also kidnapped along with their families by these unidentified terrorists.

All of this happened,

After a night of speculation, a sharp drop in the stock market is almost certain when it opens tomorrow.

Even the direct intervention of all banks within Japan couldn't stop it.

Because all the wealthy families and large corporations in Japan are busy with one thing...

That is the competition between the clan leader and the guild leader...

The next day,

Gao Ren had just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast when Tian Yangsheng came over and said...

"Boss, Commander Cook is here!"

No sooner had Tian Yangsheng finished speaking than Cook walked in with a broad smile.

"Ha ha ha ha,"

"Mr. Gao, you're awake!"

I have two pieces of good news to tell you!

Upon hearing this, Gao Ren was taken aback.

One of the two pieces of good news was that the Japanese government's efforts to rescue the stock market allowed him to make a fortune...

But what's the second piece of good news...?

Gao Ren was a little confused!

Seeing Gao Ren's confusion, Cook immediately laughed and said,

"George called me yesterday and said he will come to Dongjin in person to discuss future cooperation with you, Mr. Gao!"

"And he also told me that he has prepared two gifts for you that you will absolutely love!"

Upon hearing that George was coming, Gao Ren's face immediately showed a hint of surprise.

"General Cook, General George's arrival is not a good thing!"

"After all, your collaboration with me was kept secret from him..."
