I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 690 The future?

There is a Jewish school in Toulouse!

On the afternoon of December 6th, just as school was letting out, a motorcyclist passing by the school gate suddenly pulled out a handgun and opened fire on the gate. He fired seven shots in total before fleeing the school on his motorcycle.

Two people were injured, but neither died!
This shooting was the first terrorist attack targeting Jews in Toulouse in nearly thirty years.

Indeed, the police classified the case as a terrorist attack that same day.

On the same day, a package bombing occurred in Paris, specifically in the city center, resulting in one death and no injuries.

The deceased was a soldier on patrol duty.

The security situation in Paris deteriorated sharply due to two consecutive days of riots at the end of November.

Although the rioters quickly calmed down under the French government's strong crackdown, the police remained vigilant.

French President Sarkozy ordered the army to be deployed to Paris to maintain order.

But who could have imagined...

That evening, France 2 reported on the terrorist attack.

Fortunately, my mom and the others don't understand French, so they didn't know what had happened.

Qianqian understood and was about to speak, but after being glared at by Liu Jin, she immediately realized what was happening and shut her mouth.

We just experienced a riot.

If my mom and the others find out about the bombing and shooting, they'll probably pack their bags and leave France immediately.

"Uncle, why does France seem to be getting more and more chaotic these past two years?"

Qianqian communicated with Liu Jin in French.

Liu Jin gave her an appreciative look and said in French, "Refugees come in waves, of all kinds."

France is one of the main forces in the ZD (Zero Democracy) movement, and who knows how many of those refugees are Muslims? I don't know much about Metz, but in Toulouse, the number of Black and Muslim people has increased significantly in recent years, and many of them are religious.

"Is the French government not going to do anything?"

"Let's see what Old Saddam does. He's a conservative, so he might try to control things."

But I don't think it will have much effect; it won't improve things. Even if he wanted to stop it, America wouldn't agree.

Just you wait and see, this ideological climate in Europe will definitely become rampant, and there will be a whole host of monsters and demons.

"Uncle, why don't you go back to China?"

"what?"

Grandma is getting old and misses you very much.

It's so dangerous here... You almost got killed the year before last. It's so much better to go back to China; it's safer there. You're not short of money; you can write when you want, make movies when you want. Isn't that better than living in constant fear here in Europe?"

Liu Jin lit a cigarette.

"Did your grandma tell you to say that?"

"No, that's what I thought."

To be honest, we have enough money. Putting everything else aside, the monthly rent in Shanghai alone adds up to nearly 100,000 yuan, and it's about the same in Beijing. And now, housing prices are rising rapidly, and rents are going up along with them…

You might not know this, but just those eight apartments in Xujiahui alone now cost over four thousand a month in rent.

Anyway, I feel more comfortable living in China than abroad.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out and ruffled Qianqian's hair.

"If you're comfortable, then just live your life well. I heard you're dating someone?"

"Ah."

"Where?"

"It's from China Grain Reserves Corporation. My mom introduced us."

"What's it called?"

"Chen Qi."

Ok?
Liu Jin was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile.

Could it be that Chen Qi from the original timeline...? If it is, it doesn't seem so bad. Anyway, before their rebirth, their lives were alright.

Liu Jin didn't intend to get involved in the matter, but instead smiled and asked Qianqian about her life in China.

She's really living a comfortable life now!
Earning 50,000 yuan a month, I can travel back and forth between Shanghai and Beijing without worrying about housing.

Most importantly, she doesn't have much ambition.

In 2007, an annual salary of 600,000 yuan was considered high, even in Shanghai... Moreover, she had seen the outside world, and the glitz and glamour of the outside world were hardly attractive to her, so her family didn't need to worry about her at all.

That's fine!
Returning to China?

What's the point of going back to China?
I know in my heart how much knowledge I possess.

Instead of going back to China and messing around, it's better to stay abroad, earn euros, and earn US dollars!

He just wouldn't say those words out loud.

As for next year? We'll talk about it next year!

……

The following day, Alizee returned to Toulouse.

I spent the weekend in Toulouse, accompanied my mother and her family to Grução, and then set off for America on Monday.

She simply tossed the keys to her house in Toulouse to Qianqian, along with her car.

Liu Jin took his mother to Toulouse for a check-up.

There is a tumor at the end of the rectum, which is currently benign.

In the original timeline, my mother underwent surgery and lived peacefully for nearly twenty years.

However, his physical fitness has definitely declined significantly.

In this life, Liu Jin plans to take his mother to Switzerland first to have her examined by Mr. Zhao. If traditional Chinese medicine can resolve the issue, he'll try to use it. If that doesn't work, then he'll consider surgery... In his mind, he'd avoid surgery if possible.

Using a knife is never a good thing.

Removing the end of the rectum is equivalent to losing a section of the rectum.

Although it's not a big deal, it's still a piece of the body that's missing, isn't it?
He didn't tell his mother, but instead sent the diagnosis and X-ray to Mr. Zhao.

A week later, Mr. Zhao called and asked Liu Jin to take his mother to Switzerland for a face-to-face diagnosis.

Mr. Zhao is indeed capable.

Back then, Anita Mui was diagnosed in China with only two or three months to live.

As a result, the pregnancy was extended by a full six months, and I didn't suffer much... This is the magic of traditional Chinese medicine, not some fallacy or heresy.

However, it is extremely difficult for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in China to survive under the suppression of Western medical capital.

Plus some scammers...

Take Zhang X, for example. He brazenly spouts nonsense on television, deceiving countless people. This has made the survival of traditional Chinese medicine increasingly difficult. It's not that there aren't good TCM doctors, but rather that ordinary people simply can't find them.

This is the key!
Mr. Zhao's abilities have been proven, and Liu Jin has complete faith in him.

So he discussed it with his mother and decided that a week later, he would take the whole family to Switzerland for a hot spring trip.

During this season, Swiss thermal baths are the best place for relaxation and rejuvenation.

My mother, of course, did not object; in fact, she became very interested.

Liu Jin immediately arranged a time with Mr. Zhao and then booked accommodations.

How about buying a house in Burg?
The problem is that housing prices in Switzerland are high, the cost of living is high, and taxes are high...

Let's go over and find out what's going on first. How much more expensive can it be? After all, Burger isn't Zurich, so it's always cheaper there.

If all else fails, I'll buy it a year later!
The storm of the subprime crisis is still brewing.

On November 28, the American National Real Estate Economic Association issued a statement saying that home sales had declined for the eighth consecutive month.

The S&P/Shiller National Home Price Index fell 1.7 percent in the third quarter, the largest drop in the index's 21-year history.

On December 4, investment giant Warren Buffett purchased $21 billion in junk bonds issued by a Texas utility company.

On December 6, the America Mortgage Bankers Association announced that the foreclosure rate rose by 0.78 percent in the third quarter.
On December 7, President George W. Bush decided to freeze some mortgage rates for the next five years.

On December 12, the five major central banks of America, Canada, Europe, Great Britain, and Switzerland announced a joint effort to rescue the market!

It is clear that governments around the world have already sensed the impending crisis.

They all wanted to prevent the crisis from happening.

But the problem is...

The root cause of this crisis lies in the neoliberal economics that has been promoted globally over the past thirty years… The problems have accumulated to an unbearable level. A bailout? It's simply not going to happen, and no one can stop it.

Liu Jin was absolutely certain that once America realized she couldn't stop the crisis, she would shift the focus and try to profit from overseas to make up for it. The problem remained, unsolvable, but it could be temporarily stabilized, allowing them to prolong their existence.

Europe is definitely a major target for Americans to exploit.

There's nothing we can do about it; the euro has been so strong for the past few years.
You're still clamoring to create a third pole, but you have so many internal problems and you're so arrogant. If we don't cut you off, it would be a disservice to the American flag flying over America.

……

Liu Jin and Qiao Anpu have maintained contact.

Meanwhile, Joan P's side is also constantly making adjustments and adjustments.

He has already raised two billion dollars and increased his leverage to fifty percent.

Liu Jin did not try to dissuade him, but simply told him to be careful.

After all, there are too many big fish in this world!

On December 14th, Liu Jin was helping his mother and cousins ​​pack their luggage, preparing to depart for Switzerland on Monday.

Eva suddenly called.

"Amos, come and get me!"
