Chapter 224: Shocking Explosion: Since I can’t find the meaning of life, no…
Chapter 224 Making Money
The May Day holiday is only three days long, which is an unexpected surprise for Chinese people who rarely have long holidays. However, the time is a bit tight for Yan Jiuru to go overseas to make money.
He had to use talismans and magic weapons throughout the journey, and even so, it took him half a day just to get there.
As a former Secretary of Commerce and the world's top manufacturer of bullet-proof and explosion-proof vehicles, he has an understanding of the wealth held by the world's wealthy.
He knew that the celebrities and wealthy people on the so-called rich lists in developed countries today were not actually the richest people. Or rather, these people were the so-called wealthy people exposed to the public eye, while the wealthy people who truly controlled the economic arteries of developed countries such as Europe and the United States were hidden very deeply.
To be precise, these invisible rich people are the ones who really influence the operation of the world economy.
Just take the few big families that Yan Jiuru has business dealings with as an example. If you pick any one of them, the wealth they control will not be less than one hundred billion US dollars. There are even some rumors that exceed one trillion, which are commented by newspaper commentators as "unreliable" based on various arguments. But in fact, the wealth those people actually control is more than one trillion!
It’s just that these people know how to make money in a low-key manner and let others take the limelight.
Maybe those critics who commented that it was "unreliable" were just ghostwriters they hired.
In this world, some people hire assassins and do other things to become famous, and naturally there are also people who do the same thing to keep a low profile.
***
Yan Jiuru's desire to make money was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
During his years in economics, he discovered that the main goals in life of the world's top wealth controllers were very similar to those of ancient emperors. In addition to security and freedom, their greatest wish was immortality.
Or rather, they don't want to die, especially when they die but can't take away countless wealth, which is unbearable for them.
To this end, some people actively and covertly invest massive amounts of money in drug research;
Some people have invested countless capitals in the hope of going beyond the Earth to search for targets or UFOs in outer space;
There are also more "practical" ones, such as investing in top scientific research institutions and hospitals, employing a group of top scholars and doctors to conduct experiments and research on various technologies such as transplantation and cryopreservation.
A few years ago, he discovered that an invisible tycoon whose personality had changed drastically had not only a 29-year-old heart replaced, but also his liver and kidneys, as well as his bone marrow and blood!
It can be said that over the past few years, most of the body's organs have been replaced, except for the brain.
I don’t even know how long the experiments in the top-level scientific research institute he invested in took, and how many living people were used!
On the other hand, the invisible rich man has gone from being in his seventies or eighties with age spots all over his body to being in his thirties or forties. Not only has his hair turned black again, but he has also grown some new teeth!
After so many replacements, he didn’t die from rejection!
Later, Yan Jiuru paid special attention to it and found that several outstanding young generations of his direct family died in various accidents in those years. Without exception, they were between 20 and 30 years old, which was the best age of their lives.
Yan Jiuru noticed this because one of the people he had business dealings with once got drunk and muttered that he might become a 'reserve body' and that no matter how good he was, it would be useless, or the better he was, the more dangerous it would be.
In the past, he looked down on those members of the dandy family who were lazy and even caused trouble all day long. Now he has a vague understanding and regrets that he has worked so hard, but it is too late to regret.
Sure enough, within two years, this business partner died in an unexpected small plane accident.
Yan Jiuru noticed that less than a week ago, the invisible controller behind his family was secretly hospitalized for some reason.
It can be said that the so-called family "reserve body" cannot even decide when to die, but depends on when the person in need needs it. After all, no matter what is transplanted, the fresher the better.
Yan Jiuru did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice whether this partner really died in the accident or was actually dismantled alive.
Because during an afternoon tea event after a visit, Yan Jiuru's consciousness had a certain impression of the grandfather of his partner.
Some 'familiar' perceptions...
***
With this discovery, he paid more attention to the social circles of these people, and he discovered more secrets.
The buying and selling of ordinary commodities has never been the means for these top tycoons to make their fortunes or even control the economy. What really makes them rich overnight includes but is not limited to launching wars, buying and selling arms to all parties in the war, controlling resources and even the population, and even more so, the soldiers who were killed or injured in the war.
That's right, soldiers.
As we all know, all those who are sent to the front line to fight are elite troops from various countries, and each of the soldiers participating in the war is an elite, and they are at the peak of their lives in terms of age and physical fitness.
After a large number of casualties, some of them disappeared secretly.
After all, soldiers are flesh and blood. It is common for them to be killed or injured by a shell, and it is not uncommon for them to be blown into pieces.
There was no relevant technology in this era to support the certification of missing soldiers.
If you can't find anyone, report the damage.
Which war does not result in tens of thousands of dead or missing persons?
Yan Jiuru's spiritual consciousness once discovered an underground research institute of a hospital by following a certain invisible rich man. The research institute was filled with the corpses of soldiers and their removed organs!
Some of the soldiers were even still breathing when they were transported here!
So what?
After several years of continuous attention, Yan Jiuru discovered that they were looking for young men and women from poor families who were not valued in lower-class areas under the guise of talent search, and they often used the gimmick of creating young models and cultivating stars.
Some people also adopt children from welfare institutions around the world. In short, these people collect "preparations" through various channels. Except for a few who are used to show their "results" to the outside world, there are also those who are eliminated early, and the remaining large part slowly disappears from the public eye.
As for the occasional media reports of certain wealthy people having sex with minors, they are just small games that rich people use to kill time. What is really terrifying is the organs of those wealthy people.
Their life goal has always been eternal life! Or, in other words, to stay healthy forever, no matter what means necessary!
***
Originally, Yan Jiuru didn't want to bother with these people.
After all, he didn't want to think of himself as a superman who could save the world.
But starting last year, several children studying abroad encountered "accidents" in succession, and two of their amulets were burnt, which made him alert.
When he was looking for protective magic weapons for Old Wu, he also sold a few to his family.
Just at the beginning of last month, Zhuangzhuang said that the school organized them to donate blood for a classmate. Because his father had already told them some precautions, they only donated money and refused to donate blood.
As a result, the next day when Jingjing and Xiaohu went out, they encountered an "accident" and a large truck passed by them!
If it weren't for the protective magic weapon, the two of them might be in the morgue now.
Zhuangzhuang is an adult now. He thought this was not an accident, so he quickly called his father to tell him.
Yan Jiuru absolutely cannot tolerate anyone daring to extend his evil hands to his family.
Since I can’t find the meaning of life, I might as well go bankrupt!
It will definitely be more meaningful to start striving again.
***
This time, Yan Jiuru took the water route to a blue hole that was discovered in a sea area in the south.
To avoid the magic weapon being discovered in the sky and causing another UFO incident.
Walking underwater is convenient, fast and not easy to be detected.
Yan Jiuru took advantage of the dark and windy night to sneak into the blue hole in the early morning of the 29th. This time he didn't even use the water-avoidance technique. He directly summoned a high-level water-based magic weapon and hurried on his way. In just over an hour, he arrived at the Great Blue Hole of Belize.
He chose this time period because there were basically no diving enthusiasts in the blue hole, and the one or two he occasionally found were all dead.
The Blue Hole is mysterious and unique, attracting many adventure enthusiasts every year. Its danger naturally results in many deaths.
Around two o'clock in the morning, there was almost no moonlight over the Blue Hole in Belize. The sky was dotted with stars and the Milky Way was low.
"Crash~"
Yan Jiuru emerged from the water and quickly moved to an island reef. He was still very careful even though he used the concealment talisman throughout the process.
With the help of starlight, he roughly identified the direction and flew towards a small island a hundred miles away.
Only a few developed countries have May Day as a holiday.
But for the top wealthy, anytime and anywhere is a vacation. Of course, it would be even better if there is a suitable excuse.
For example, this May Day, although the rich do not recognize International Labor Day, it does not prevent them from spending a happy holiday.
As far as Yan Jiuru knew, the target rich man was currently living on a small island under his name, rather than in the so-called prosperous urban luxury residential area with many tourists.
The degree to which the rich cherish their lives is directly proportional to the level of security. Otherwise, Yan Jiuru's bulletproof and explosion-proof car business would not have increased in price several times and still make a lot of money.
At present, this small island of less than 100 acres has been completely transformed into a luxury resort. It not only has its own airport, but also has a private security force for the wealthy.
Monitoring, power grid, infrared rays... These measures that work for most people are useless to Yan Jiuru.
Of course, he wasn't out to kill anyone, so he wouldn't trigger these alarms.
***
Yan Jiuru circled the island and swept his spiritual sense across the entire island. Suddenly, the entire island's defense system was imprinted in his mind.
I really didn’t expect that at two o’clock in the morning, the whole island was brightly lit. It turned out that more than twenty wealthy people and politicians were having a party on the island!
Yan Jiuru moved stealthily among the crowd, and soon he discovered that there was a group of people playing dress-up games in a hidden room!
A politician, wearing a gold velvet high-slit gown, was having a great time playing SM with several other noble people dressed in different styles, while his wife was having a passionate affair with another man in another room.
Tsk tsk!
Morally corrupt!
When everyone was drunk and enjoying the pleasures of life, some people suddenly became dazed and shook their heads after a while. It was not known whether they had smoked too much or had too much fun, causing hallucinations.
Yan Jiuru invaded with his spiritual sense and quickly grabbed the information he needed before turning around to find the next person.
It took less than half an hour to search all the wealthy and powerful people present.
Yan Jiuru sorted out the information and took advantage of the enthusiasm of these people to "follow the map" and put all the hidden treasures on the island into the storage ring, and then quietly rushed to the next place.
Unnamed islands, underground vaults, cathedrals, and even family cemeteries. These people are really smart, and the places they hide their wealth are so bizarre.
Yan Jiuru spent two days searching for the physical wealth of some people.
The people who hid these treasures would not easily check them. After all, except themselves, everyone else who knew about them was dead, so they would not worry about losing them.
On May Day, taking advantage of the fact that most countries did not have holidays, Yan Jiuru successfully transferred a huge amount of funds using the secret key and password he had obtained. After several rounds of cleaning, the funds were dispersed into several hidden accounts.
After finishing, he easily erased all traces of the transfer.
No one knew that the financial accounts of some wealthy people had turned from tens of billions of dollars into hundreds of dollars!
How did this happen and where did the money go?
Nothing left a trace.
***
May 2nd.
CCTV News on that day reported that Yan Jiuru, Director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, was inspecting a subordinate military industrial production unit in a southern province.
May 3rd.
Explosive news came from the world: the financial accounts of several well-known people in the world's top banks were "wiped out" overnight!
It is not known whether it is a system 'BUG', a virus invasion, or some other reason.
Insiders revealed that some accounts have lost tens of billions of dollars! (That's pretty subtle.)
"Regarding this incident, the police are still conducting further investigations. Our reporters will follow up on the report, so please stay tuned."
The uproar on the other side of the earth naturally had nothing to do with Xuan Country.
At this time, Yan Jiuru had already transferred billions of U.S. dollars to the account of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense in several installments through false weapons procurement contracts.
Even with the money in hand, Yan Jiuru still carried out the following investigation as planned. Until early July, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense suddenly issued the first official document after the new director took office:
First, a salary increase for all employees!
Second, improve the welfare benefits of scientific researchers!
Third, select a new site to build a scientific research compound and family housing!
Fourth, reorganize the institutions of the First to Eighth Ministry of Machine Building, including but not limited to the ministerial agencies, as well as the factories and universities under them.
Fifth, increase investment in national defense research.
As long as your project is feasible, you can submit an application if necessary. If it passes the evaluation of the newly formed evaluation committee, money will not be a problem. Funds can be allocated ranging from a few million to hundreds of millions of yuan.
Of course, funding is allocated in stages, and the audit will conduct three sets of cross-audits on the use of funding to avoid abuse.
Even so, all the members of the scientific research team cheered.
In the Yancheng National Defense Science and Technology Commission’s office.
"Have you heard? This time the new director has secured over 10 billion!"
"Good boy, now we don't have to worry about funding, right?"
"Well, Xiao Wang, Lao Li, and Lao Xu, let's have a meeting..."
***
Many things can be solved as long as you have enough money.
The problem cannot be solved because there is not enough money.
For example, right now, because there were suddenly hundreds of billions of RMB added to the account, Yan Jiuru felt different when he went to ZNH to report on his work. The secretary's face was full of sincere smiles, and even the tea was brewed freshly, without any mention of how long it would take.
Yan Jiuru not only brought tens of billions of funds into the account of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, but also injected tens of billions of RMB into the central bank.
Because the money he raised was more than expected, his plan was successfully passed, except that several senior leaders of the educated youth told him to keep a low profile.
Who made him get so much money?
During the period of investigation, Yan Jiuru had already gotten a pretty good grasp of the situation.
In this reorganization, the First Ministry of Machine Building still focused on heavy machinery, with an emphasis on the research, development, and promotion and application of agricultural machinery, including fishery and animal husbandry-related agricultural products;
The Second Ministry of Machine Building focuses on nuclear energy research and development and application;
The Third Ministry of Machine Building developed the aviation industry and restarted the discontinued large aircraft project;
The fourth Ministry of Machine Building is the Ministry of Electronics and Information, which focuses on computers and network informationization;
The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building was the Ministry of Armament Industry, responsible for the production and management of arms exports;
The Sixth Machine Department is responsible for the construction of large ships and vessels, and various warships and aircraft carriers should be put into operation and promoted;
The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and the Ministry of Aerospace, satellites, rockets, missiles, spacecraft, etc. are all top priorities.
The Eighth Machinery Department is the Engineering Machinery Equipment Department. Whether it is a ground-leveling excavator, an underwater excavator, or an aerial bridge, all heavy machinery related to infrastructure construction is included here.
In addition, there is a dedicated audit department and inspection department.
The Audit Department specifically audits whether the use of funds for related projects is in violation of regulations, and the Supervision Department is responsible for supervising whether the audit departments and other units are acting in accordance with laws and regulations.
If other departments are afraid of the Audit Department, then the people the Audit Department least wants to see are people from the Inspection Department.
After more than a month of adjustment, the eight machine ministries and two major departments were readjusted.
***
In August, the long-rumored salary increase finally came true.
First, top scientific researchers will be evaluated based on their achievements and project participation.
For example, Mr. Qian originally earned less than 2,000 yuan a month, but now, after the adjustment, he receives more than 15,000 yuan a month! Project bonuses are also distributed according to the stage, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
The monthly salary of mid-level researchers has also increased from around 1,000 to 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, and bonuses are also paid according to the projects they participate in.
The most basic scientific researchers have a basic salary of around 4,500 yuan. If they can have their own projects or participate in other projects, the bonuses they receive will be calculated separately.
Everyone who has new ideas or technological breakthroughs will receive additional contribution rewards. Depending on the value assessment, the bonuses range from one thousand to tens of thousands.
As soon as this regulation was communicated, it immediately caused a sensation among researchers. After all, who doesn't have some hidden tricks up their sleeve?
In just three or four months, the relevant departments of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense received hundreds of technical evaluations and awarded bonuses based on the possible military or civilian achievements that each technology could bring.
The lowest is two thousand yuan, and the highest items are assessed to be over one hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, it must be sent to the higher authorities for review and final approval by the director.
After Yan Jiuru received a thick stack of evaluation and review materials, he did not change anything else, but adjusted the bonus of one of the small technical skills that was rated at 3,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.
Based on his many years of business experience, he believes that this small technology, which is looked down upon by the big guys, will definitely have great potential in the civilian market.
***
That morning, Yan Jiuru had just finished a meeting when Secretary Cheng whispered, "Director, Mr. Shen from the Shanghai Aircraft Industry Corporation wants to meet with you. Please... "
Yan Jiuru said calmly, “Some people always want to take shortcuts, advocating things like ‘it’s better to buy than to make’ and ‘exchange market for technology’, but they ended up wasting ten years of precious time just to assemble a few dozen parts.
I heard that the owner of the catwalk company went bankrupt recently. I'm afraid this project in Shanghai Province will be lost, right?"
Secretary Cheng: ……
I dare not answer anything.
Fortunately, the director didn't expect him to respond.
"If he calls next time, tell him I'm busy with our Yun-10 aircraft project and can't spare the time to meet him for the time being."
"Okay, Director."
Secretary Cheng was transferred here after going through several tests. As soon as the Y-10 was re-launched, he quickly looked for relevant information.
Therefore, he also knew that the Xuanguo large aircraft project was suspended that year, and instead another joint venture project was launched to assemble for the Maodao Company.
Well, in the final analysis, some people could not resist the temptation of US dollars. After being lobbied by Maodao Company, they used their status and position to cancel Xuan Country's independent research and development of large aircraft project. Instead, they promoted a joint venture project to assemble for Maodao Company.
It was originally said that the flowers and rice would be good, and that through assembly, the technology of producing large aircraft could be quickly learned. In the end, not only did they not learn the technology, but they were turned into a coolie factory for others.
Purely a laborer.
Now that the large aircraft project has been restarted here, I'm afraid they will have some new ideas after hearing the news.
Yan Jiuru sneered, dismissing it.
Not to mention meeting, he doesn't even answer the phone.
In his eyes, no one's face matters, let alone those who already have little face.
***
"Director, could you take a look at the preliminary sites for the Science and Technology Commission compound?"
Yan Jiuru took the information, flipped through it, and threw it back, saying, "I forgot to tell you that the site has been reviewed by experts from the 107th Institute. It's in Xiaomiaoshan, outside the West Third Ring Road. I'll have someone bring the information to you later."
Yan Jiuru personally went up to the Science and Technology Commission's compound and staff housing to check the feng shui. He found that the feng shui of the current office address was not ideal, so after he reported this reason, the higher-ups quickly agreed.
He personally selected the new address, and of course, let the experts from 107 institutes take the lead.
The new site is several times larger. In addition to the office area, there are also scientific research and laboratory areas, and family areas. The scientific research and laboratory areas are separated from other areas by formations. At that time, security will also use a combination of technological means and mysterious methods.
As for the family buildings, except for senior researchers, all of them are two-story villas with small courtyards. Ordinary scientific researchers live in three- or five-story townhouses. In the public courtyard on the first floor, each family is given an area, which is enough for parking, drying things, or growing vegetables.
In addition, every family has a 30-square-meter warehouse and cellar.
Other high-rise buildings where ordinary workers installed elevators only had eight floors at most. Because he had worked on fire trucks before, Yan Jiuru knew that firefighting would be impossible if the building was too high. Instead of having so many floors, it would be better to build another building.
The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has its own ordnance department, so it does not need to look for engineering teams outside for infrastructure construction, as it can handle it internally.
After the Yancheng headquarters was built, the military engineering team that was almost disbanded started to build the subordinate local units. Instead of disbanding, it gained a lot of manpower.
After all, these projects require high quality and will take several years to complete, so there is no shortage of money.
Yan Jiuru also asked the subordinate units to assign a group of technical personnel from the soldiers who were about to be laid off. They could do the work, whether they were proficient in plumbing, communications, carpentry, or masonry.
Then a decoration team was formed to specialize in decoration for the projects of the Science and Technology Commission.
In addition, a large heavy truck fleet was formed to specifically handle the transfer and transportation of large weapons and equipment.
The Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense also has its own farms, producing grains, vegetables, and fruits, raising cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and planting fruit trees. In short, they distribute welfare during festivals and holidays. You don’t have to buy meat, eggs, milk, canned fruit, sausages, bacon, etc., because you can’t finish all the food you get.
Naturally, the people working in these places are the employees' families. Outsiders cannot enter because we are a confidential unit.
***
Yan Jiuru returned home after another busy day.
Chen Yin called him into the house and handed him a big red invitation.
"What is this?" Yan Jiuru took it and asked his wife without opening it.
Chen Yin raised her chin. "Do you still remember Professor Wang, our former public course teacher?"
Yan Jiuru recalled for a moment, "Hmm, I seem to remember. What happened? Did you have a grandson or something?"
Chen Yin rolled her eyes and said with a twitching mouth: "What do you mean by holding a grandson? He has a new wife, okay?"
Yan Jiuru opened the invitation, and it was indeed an invitation to a 'wedding celebration':
"...Professor Eric Wang, and Miss Lilyan Yu, invites..."
"Professor Wang's name is Eric?
He must be in his seventies or eighties this year, right?
Who is this Lillian?"
Chen Yin shrugged. "Who knows? If the person who sent the invitation hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know who Eric Wang was."
Yan Jiuru thought about it, picked up his cell phone and called a few classmates in the student union who he still had contact with.
I didn't get any information from others, but Propaganda Minister Zhao Zhi provided some information.
He also said with great disdain: "Hey, that old Deng, no, that old man, thief Huahua, has changed several young female assistants in recent years.
This Lillian was replaced four or five years ago, I think. I heard she was an ABC, and she was only 27 or 28 at the time? Anyway, the two of them got together just like that.
He was even caught in the act by the teacher's wife, and the school was in an uproar for a while.
But they don't care, and always say it's just a relationship rift."
As for intellectuals, most of them have some dignity, and the few who don't are becoming more and more invincible.
Zhao Zhi also asked him: "Why, are you also interested in gossip?"
"What gossip? Today your sister-in-law received the wedding invitation from Professor Wang and Miss Lillian."
"Fuck, is Lao Deng so shameless?! He kicked out his original wife and married a young girl, and even sent invitations to his students? Where's his dignity?" Zhao Zhi was shocked.
However, he immediately understood why Yan Jiuru made this call, and laughed, "Forget it, brother, he sent the invitation because he saw that you two were doing well, and he wanted to show off.
If you ask me, there's no need for you to be his prop man. It won't bother you, so just give him a few hundred bucks for the sake of face."
Yan Jiuru also said, "I've been wondering what I would say if I went there. I really can't find the words to congratulate you."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
"Then why not go? I'll ask someone to bring a gift." Chen Yin was even more indifferent to this kind of teacher. After taking out three hundred from the drawer, she thought about it and took out another two hundred. "Just one hundred."
Yan Jiuru burst out laughing and rubbed her head, "Okay, it's up to you to arrange."
He knew that Chen Yin hated people who were fickle and probably wouldn't be happy with this.
The two of them agreed to go to the living room to talk to their family.
***
Grandpa then threw a red envelope over: "Just delivered, it's a good time for you two to take a look at it at home."
This time, Yan Jiuru didn't even ask. He just picked it up and took a look. "Is this... Sun Yuanchao the contractor for the food factory in the alley behind?"
"Is this a divorce or a widow?"
His mother said, "This family is inhumane. You don't even know that if his wife doesn't divorce him, she will be widowed."
The old lady listened and added, "He's been making a lot of money in the past few years, and he's already acting so arrogantly. He complained about his ex-wife's poor grooming habits and her embarrassing appearance. In the end, he's attracted to that secretary. Why are people like this these days?"
Yan Jiuru asked casually, "Will the elders in their family agree?"
"What old man? You were so busy with work that you didn't notice. He's old these past two years, but he's become more prominent. He could be the girl's father. He's so beautiful."
"I heard she's a female college student."
Yan Jiuru threw the invitation on the table and said, "What's going on? This kind of person has bad morals. If we have courtesy, we should return the gift. If not, there is no need to return the gift."
Every day.
