Chapter 1797
Capital? Consortium?
To be honest, Gu Nianzhi didn’t even take Lu Jin’s identity as a major shareholder of the Lu Corporation seriously.
She had always thought of Lu Jin as the type of person who was “A scientist”and “A major shareholder in a side business.”.
But now Lu Yuan had actually told her that in addition to the identity of “Lu Jin”that they knew of, there was another identity, and it was the identity of a very expensive capital consortium..
This was too shocking.
Gu Nianzhi didn’t know what to say anymore.
Huo Shaoheng was also very surprised, but he didn’t show it like Gu Nianzhi did.
He asked calmly, “Uncle Lu’s other identity, what’s his name?”
“Von Rolstead.”
“What’s his name?”Gu Nianzhi thought she had heard wrong, and her eyes widened. “Did you just say the name of a foreigner?”
“Yes, von Rolstead.”Lu Yuan laughed. He heard the door of Lu Jin’s bedroom open. Lu Yuan raised his hand. “Look, Mr. Von Rolstead has come out.”
Gu Nianzhi turned around blankly and saw a white Mediterranean man with black hair, black eyes, and fair skin walking out.
He was wearing a tailored tuxedo with a bow tie. He was tall and elegant, with deep eye sockets, a tall and narrow nose, and naturally curly black hair. He looked completely different from Lu Jin’s previous appearance.
“... Dad? Is That You?”Gu Nianzhi asked hesitantly and couldn’t help rubbing her eyes.
Lu Jin laughed loudly. “I’m von Rolstead, a Corsican, the seventh generation descendant of the Rolstead family.”
He spoke English with an Italian Tuscan accent. It wasn’t difficult to understand, but it wasn’t easy either.
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
“I’m going to a closed-door roundtable meeting at the Rohrer Center today, so I won’t be back for dinner,”Lu Jin rolled up his sleeves and said in an extremely reserved manner.
Lu Yuan nodded. “You’ve already made the arrangements?”
Lu Jin’s hand paused, he quickly looked up and smiled as if nothing had happened. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Take today’s closed-door roundtable meeting for example. I don’t want to go at all. “But since you’re here and want to know what I’m doing, you should go. You’ll know what I’m doing.”
Huo Shaoheng stood up and said, “You’re going alone? Without bodyguards?”
Lu Jin said, “I have bodyguards. They’re all here.”
Gu Nianzhi was still worried and quickly said, “Dad, take Peter with you. He’s good. If there’s a problem, he can solve it in time.”
“But if he goes like this, people will know.”Lu Jin looked at Huo Shaoheng suspiciously. “It’ll affect me too.”
“I’ll modify it so that even Nianzhi won’t recognize me.”Huo Shaoheng said calmly. This was his old profession, and his ability to modify was no worse than Lu Jin’s.
Lu Jin looked at him for a while, then raised his chin and said arrogantly, “That’s fine too. Go and pretend to be my personal bodyguard. Remember to dress up as the same race as me. Can you do that? Not only do you look like me, but you also have to have a similar accent.”
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand. “I didn’t bring anything modified, but since you can modify it, you should have these things, right?”
Lu Jin turned around and pointed to his bedroom. “Go to the south wall and push open the sofa. There’s a secret door at the back. Open the password and lock it. There’s everything modified inside.”
Huo Shaoheng walked in.
Lu Jin returned to Gu Nianzhi’s side and sat down. He immediately smiled and said, “Nianzhi, do you think I look good in this outfit?”
Gu Nianzhi patted him on the shoulder and praised him. “I didn’t expect you to have this skill, Dad! Who Did you learn it from?”
Lu Jin glanced at Lu Yuan and said, “I learned it after seeing him modify it once. I learned it by myself.”
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
Lu Yuan smiled and said, “That’s true. I didn’t give him any pointers. He did learn it after watching it once.”
The key was Lu Jin’s incredible skills. He could make fake hair and color-changing contact lenses.
The disguises on his face, such as his extended nose and protruding brow bones, were all made from new materials.
Lu Jin pointed at his own face and said,”... These things are also a type of biological plastic surgery, but I made them into temporary ornaments. They weren’t planted under the skin of the face like Qin Yaoguang.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and touched them. Sure enough, they felt no different from real skin and bones!
Lu Jin pointed at his own eyes again. “This contact lens can even mimic the structure of the iris, so even if I have an iris recognition detector, it won’t be able to check if I’m real or fake.”
Gu Nianzhi was very interested in this kind of contact lens. She smiled and said, “Is it comfortable to wear it? Do you need to take it off and change it often?”
“It’s the same as not wearing them. It’s also very easy to take them off. I have a big box of them that can be changed at any time.”Lu Jin said proudly, “What color of invisible glasses do you like? I’ll make them for You When I’m free.”
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “Then remember this. When I’m free, I want contact lenses of all colors!”
“All colors? Do you think your eyes are rainbows?”Lu Jin rubbed her head. His eyes were full of affection, as if no amount of love was enough.
Lu Yuan felt that the father and daughter pair were a little irritating, so he casually took out a newspaper and opened it to block his line of sight.
Gu Nianzhi nagged at Lu Jin on the topic of the makeover until Huo Shaoheng came out of Lu Jin’s bedroom.
Standing in front of them was an image of a Caucasian Mediterranean man, but he was taller and stronger than Lu Jin. He had broad shoulders, long legs, and a strong waist. His pitch-black eyes were especially charming, like velvet, he gave off a satin luster, and when he looked up, his eyes seemed to shine, firmly attracting people’s attention.
He wore a black suit with his arms open, revealing his small vest and the two revolvers in the pocket of his vest.
Under his straight suit pants was a pair of shiny leather shoes, and when he walked, it made a steady clicking sound.
It was obvious that he was wearing a Bluetooth headset. He took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket that were the same model as Lu Jin’s and put them on. He looked just like a mafia boss in the Mediterranean.
Lu Jin stared at him in shock and said, “I didn’t even tell you the password. How did you get into my secret room? !”
It was obvious that he didn’t tell Huo Shaoheng the password on purpose so that he could put Huo Shaoheng in his place..
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
She coughed and said, “Dad, Peter is very good at decrypting passwords... this is one of his specialties...”
He wasn’t just good at it, so Gu Nianzhi didn’t say anything more.
Lu Jin gasped in surprise and was obviously in a much better mood. “He knows how to decrypt passwords? ! I like it! People who know how to decrypt passwords are all highly intelligent people. You can barely carry my daughter’s shoes.”
Lu Yuan couldn’t take it anymore. He looked up from the newspaper and said plainly, “What’s the point of just being intelligent? If you have the ability to cause trouble, then you can get out of this unscathed!”
Lu Jin:”...”
Alright, he seemed to have offended boss Lu badly.
Lu Jin scratched his head. He didn’t know how to apologize to Lu Yuan so that he wouldn’t get angry.
Just like many times before, he pretended to be confused and muddled through.
Huo Shaoheng helped him out of his predicament and said in English, which agreed with the Italian Tuscan accent, “Mr. Rolsted, I’m happy to be of service to you.”
“Okay!”Lu Jin clapped loudly and praised Huo Shaoheng with all his might. Only then did Lu Yuan’s face brighten up and no longer get angry.
Lu Jin introduced the schedule of the meeting to Huo Shaoheng and said, “The people who are going today are all famous people on this blue planet. If you see any familiar faces, remember not to lose your composure.”
Huo Shaoheng:”? ? ?”
In Lu Jin’s heart, how stupid was he? How Low was he?
However, he knew that it was useless to reason with Lu Jin. The logic and logic of a genius were different from that of ordinary people, so don’t try to reason with a genius.
They would use their superior intelligence to defeat you and make you feel like you were too stupid to live.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi’s lips twitched as she watched Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng’s backs disappear at the door.
As the door closed with a click, Gu Nianzhi turned around, she looked at Lu Yuan and said, “Director Lu, are you sure that my father, who has severe interpersonal disorder, can be on the same level as those big capitalists and tycoons and have efficient communication? !”
And not offend all the global tycoons?
Lu Yuan chuckled softly. His voice was as magnetic as Huo Shaoheng’s, and Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help exclaiming in admiration.
Lu Yuan walked to the sofa next to her and sat down. “In front of capital, there’s no such thing as interpersonal relationships.”
“Capitalists only look at money.”
“As for whether you can talk or offend people, it’s not in their consideration at all.”
“Capital can even produce a rope to hang itself for profit. Who cares about a supercilious look or an unpleasant remark?”
“Von Rolstead’s wealth is enough to make those capitalists look down on his incompetence as if he were a superior being.”
Gu Nianzhi:”...”
She said faintly, “To put it simply, in their world, whoever has more money makes sense.”
“You could say that.”Lu Yuan thought for a moment and smiled. “As for interpersonal relationships and conversation skills, these are the areas that we ordinary people need to consider.”
“For a group of people who are especially rich, they have already jumped out of this social category.”
“When they speak, they don’t need to consider anyone’s opinion. Unless that person can affect their profits.”
“They are the most complete followers and worshippers of status and hierarchy. They only submit to the strong, that is, those who are richer than them.”
Gu Nianzhi understood. “So that means my dad is doing well in that circle...”
“Like a fish in water.”Lu Yuan turned on the television. “You’ll know his status in that circle later.”
Gu Nianzhi looked at the local television news that appeared on the television. It happened to be showing the Lawler Center.
It was a huge complex of buildings that occupied a few blocks on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. It was the perfect embodiment of the modernist architectural style of the last century.
Almost a hundred years had passed, and these buildings had even more of the beauty of time. They were like works of art.
Gu Nianzhi saw the wide and clean streets on the television. In the past, there had always been a lot of traffic and a lot of people, but now a one-way street was blocked by rows and rows of traffic barriers.
A variety of luxury cars drove over.
The live host of the local television station was a blonde beauty. She was instantly excited and said to the audience in front of the television, “They’re here! They’re the most powerful people on our planet!”
“Their combined wealth accounts for 95% of the world’s wealth!”
“Today, they’re going to hold a closed-door roundtable meeting at the Luo Le Center to discuss the development and future of Humanity!”
“Only they have the right to discuss such topics!”
Not far away, Gu Nianzhi’s sharp eyes saw someone waving a flag, waving his fists, and shouting slogans.
“Down with the flesh-eating capitalists!”
“They’re bleeding from head to toe and filthy things!”
“They don’t deserve to rule our fate!”
These slogans greatly stirred the hearts of passers-by who were united in their hatred for the enemy.
Passers-by who were only passing by or had to take a detour due to the curfew of the main passage also joined in the chanting.
The procession, which was getting more and more excited, finally got out of hand. Someone threw a burning gasoline bottle at the center of the conference entrance.
Boom!
The gasoline bottle exploded in front of a car.
The car was unharmed, while the young man who threw the gasoline bottle was targeted by a sniper on a building not far away.
With a bang, a bullet went straight through the man’s arm, knocking him to the ground and making him howl like a pig being slaughtered.
Soon, police cars whizzed by with flashing lights, even armored vehicles, and heavily armed policemen got out of their vehicles and charged the crowd with shields and batons.
The burning gasoline bottles at the entrance of the venue were quickly cleaned up.
The car continued to drive toward the underground parking lot of the venue.
The luxury cars, unaffected by the turbulence around them, filed in and drove toward the entrance.
