"Damn squid man, get out of America!!!"

"Fuck squid, fuck Israel, Fake conglomerate"

"Why are squid bankers still on Wall Street? Why don't they just die? If it weren't for these damn squid financial giants, there wouldn't have been a financial crisis."

On the internet, this anger spread like a virus along the network, almost tearing American society apart.

Naftaliben and his fellow squid-born bankers were all treated like rats in the street, hated by everyone.

Even the employees within Morgan Stanley looked at these squid-born executives differently now.

They no longer held the same reverence as before; instead, their gazes were filled with hostility and resentment.

Like a frying pan of boiling oil, just a little water is all it takes to ignite the anger of these low-level employees.

People seem to have lost their restraint, as many people go up to the rooftop every day and then jump off.

Bang bang bang!
On October 3rd, an ordinary day, a gunshot rang out at the entrance of the Lehman Brothers office building. Richard Fuld, the CEO, was shot in the head and died instantly.

what! ! !
Such a horrific scene, unfolding in broad daylight, instantly threw the crowds on the nearby streets into a state of panic.

It was rush hour, and the number of people in the buildings was almost at its peak.

After firing a shot at Richard Fuld, the sniper hiding in the shadows did not stop and continued firing.

At the entrance of the building on the other side, Morgan Stanley Senior Vice President Joel Lancaster was also shot between the eyebrows and instantly went to meet God.

This is the free America, where gunfights happen every day.

In the original timeline, in 2013, there was a movie called "Invasion of Wall Street," which tells the story of a security guard whose family was torn apart by huge losses in infrastructure investment on Wall Street, which was controlled by financiers, and who then fought back in anger.

The movie is based on events that occurred after the 2008 financial crisis. Yes, in this timeline, it's a true story.

Because ordinary people are often manipulated by financiers, while the big players make a fortune.

Why have families like the Morgans, Bushes, and Kennedys remained powerful and influential?
Because their ancestors sold weapons to both sides of the war during the Civil War, traded with the Axis powers during World War II, and profited from various acts of defending the United States, these families became powerful.

Following the shooting, Facebook's news website immediately reported the incident, causing a huge uproar.

Ordinary people felt a sense of relief upon seeing the news.

Meanwhile, those wealthy squid, especially the squid-born financial giants working on Wall Street, were all filled with fear.

Nobody wants to be shot in the head out of nowhere, right?

At the headquarters of the Velociraptor Fund Company, Allen Costa received a phone call that left him frozen in place.

It turned out that Raymond John, the senior vice president of Goldman Sachs who had arranged to negotiate with him in the conference room, was shot dead the moment he got out of his car.

Allen Costa was completely stunned by what had happened, and he immediately shared the news in the Want Want Group's executive group.

"Professor, you guessed right. Someone really did shoot those squid-born financiers. We just received news that Raymond John, senior vice president of Goldman Sachs, has been shot dead!"

Inside the villa on the lakeside island at Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this message.

The Morgan family and other established financial groups are truly ruthless.

They are very good at exchanging favors, and they are also very good at disguising themselves.

These Anglo-Saxon elite financial groups are clearly the real winners on Wall Street, but they insist on pretending and pushing the squid-born financial groups out to draw attention to them.

"Okay, I understand. Be careful, everyone. Wall Street won't be peaceful lately."

Wang Duoyu said that Allen Costa was still very surprised.

Hela O'Brien couldn't help but say:

"Professor, these Anglo-Saxon whites are going too far! How dare they do this?"

"Why wouldn't you dare? If you look through history, especially economic history, you'll find that this kind of operation of using squid people as economic scapegoats has been done countless times throughout history."

In medieval Europe, squidmen were restricted to lending money, and whenever lords couldn't repay their debts, they would incite hatred.

The squid man who lent money became the scapegoat.

Therefore, even in 2008, this old-fashioned script formula, when applied to 21st-century social media, had an unexpectedly remarkable effect.

Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can't move it.

Prejudice is harder to cure than a virus, especially after the financial crisis, when many ordinary people were struggling to make ends meet. As a result, ignorant and naive ordinary people are very easily misled by such simplistic logic.

Wang Duoyu's words left O'Brien speechless.

The news of the Wall Street shooting is still spreading and can't be contained at all.

Even so, the argument that squid-born bankers are the culprits of this financial crisis still generates a lot of traffic and attention online.

Open any forum, whether it's well-known or not, and you'll find it filled with extreme slogans like "The squid have drained America dry," which gives you goosebumps.

As former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Chairman Alan Greenspan, they were the most criticized because of their positions.

Even if these people take the most extreme measures to save the market in times of crisis, they still cannot stop the criticism and gossip behind their backs.

For example, the day after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection, on September 16, AIG, the largest insurance company in the United States, faced bankruptcy due to the discovery of a large number of CDS, and the Federal Reserve provided an emergency bailout of $85 billion.

Furthermore, the cumulative aid has reached $1820 billion.

This level of favoritism is truly unparalleled.

To put it bluntly, the old Anglo-Saxon financial groups wanted to force the Squid-born financial groups to their deaths, forcing them to make compromises.

Wall Street is a three-way power struggle, isn't it?

Let's take this opportunity to eliminate some of the squid-related businesses.

To be honest, if possible, the old Anglo-Saxon conglomerates would also like to take down the Want Want Group, the "outlier conglomerate in Europe," but unfortunately, almost none of the companies under this conglomerate are publicly listed.

There's simply no way to kill them.

The only ones with a chance were a few financial giants like Maple Tree Capital, which had previously issued a large number of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), but they had already withdrawn before 2007 and had no chance at all.

"Dad, are the Squid Men really that scary? Did they really plan for this year's financial crisis more than a hundred years ago?"

Inside the living room of a villa on the island in the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology, Bai Doufu asked with a curious look. Wang Duoyu, who had just sat down and was playing with his grandson, heard this and casually replied:

Do you yourself think it's possible?

"I think it's impossible, but I see many netizens on the internet who strongly support this view."

Bai Doufu's words left Wang Duoyu silent for a long time.

For a long time, many media outlets in Europe and America have been promoting the idea that the Squid Man is very good at business and also very smart.

Especially after the advent of the internet, similar arguments are frequently seen.

For example, Einstein was a squid man.

So it doesn't seem wrong to say that the squid people are the most intelligent race in the world.

But the Squid themselves never imagined that this subtle propaganda would backfire on them today, becoming a catalyst for the most serious anti-Squid sentiment in the United States.

Amid the financial crisis, starting from September 15th, major stock markets around the world plummeted, causing many people to lose all their assets overnight, or even become heavily indebted.

Many people who lost their homes and savings, fueled by the internet, vented all their grievances on the specific group of squid.

Therefore, anti-squid sentiment quickly took hold in these bankrupt families.

Even with the recent news of numerous "squid bankers" being shot in the head on Wall Street, it hasn't brought much relief to ordinary people.

The atmosphere in American society as a whole was very tense.

Such irrational attacks do not solve the problem at all, and may even obscure the real root of the crisis.

After thinking it over, Wang Duoyu decided not to expose the harsh reality of Wall Street to Bai Doufu.

Anyway, Bai Doufu is still young. Let her slowly come into contact with the real world a few years later, instead of exposing her to these cruel truths too early when she is at an age when she can enjoy campus life without any worries.

The next day, Allen Costa brought good news: Morgan Stanley had been acquired by the Raptor Fund.

The day after successfully acquiring this investment bank, Goldman Sachs and several other high-quality companies were also acquired.

Today, Want Want Group's influence on Wall Street is unprecedented.

However, these companies are all separate entities, and from the outside, they are not from the same family or the same group.

So there's no special connection at all.

After achieving their acquisition goals, Allen Costa and his associates immediately increased their shareholdings in many of the acquired companies, while infinitely reducing the shareholdings of other shareholders.

When Clayton and others from the Morgan family learned of this, they were so angry that they cursed loudly.

Because they simply don't have enough funds to follow up.

Since they were unable to keep up, they were forced to accept the fact that their stake in Morgan Stanley had decreased.

At this point, they have no choice but to sell their shares.

Thus, in less than a month, Want Want Group acquired several American financial giants, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch.

While Want Want Group was busy integrating the assets of financial giants such as Goldman Sachs, Wang Duoyu unexpectedly received news that someone was pursuing his daughter, Wang Yifei.

"The cycad is blooming?"

The first thing Wang Duoyu thought of when he heard the news was this word.

The eldest daughter, Wang Yifei, was born in 1987 and is already 21 years old this year, soon to be 22.

It's really hard to believe that I've never been in a relationship in my entire life.

Her upbringing was so dazzling that she looked down on her peers, let alone younger men.

Even men ten years older than her, few of them could catch her eye.

Most importantly, these outstanding men are almost never single, and most of them are womanizers.

That's why she's remained single until now.

In a private restaurant in the suburbs of Harbin, Wang Yifei is having dinner with a young man wearing glasses.

"Fang, I must say, you really do look like a refined scoundrel when you wear glasses. It gives me a very incongruous feeling."

"Refined scoundrel" is a derogatory term, but it doesn't fit Fang Zongxi at all; he is definitely not that kind of person.

Fang Zongxi was a top student from a young age. He became a member of the National University of Defense Technology's Junior Class at the age of thirteen, graduated with a doctorate at eighteen, and then went to a secret research unit, disappearing for five years.

Until the end of last year, he entered the Harbin Astronaut Training Center and became a payload specialist astronaut, and was in the same class as Wang Yifei.

Every member who is able to enter this astronaut training center has passed the political vetting process.

Furthermore, Fang Zongxi's personal growth trajectory is clearly visible. Although he is a genius, he completed his undergraduate and doctoral studies in just five years and then quickly grew into a scientific researcher, all thanks to his own efforts.

His own family, on the contrary, could not offer him any help.

Fang Zongxi came from an ordinary rural family in a small county in the south. His parents were genuine farmers, and he had two older brothers and an older sister.

Furthermore, apart from him, there wasn't a single college student in the Fang family.

Fang Zongxi is a typical example of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education.

"I didn't want to wear glasses either, but you made me wear them, so you have to take the blame for being a 'refined scoundrel'." Fang Zongxi said helplessly.

Wang Yifei just chuckled:
"It's just a frame, there are no lenses, it won't make you nearsighted. At most, you can practice a few sets of basic vision exercises when you get back."

The Air Force has very basic vision training methods, namely eye movement training, alternating near and far gaze training, gazing training, and light and shadow adaptation training.

This type of vision training greatly helps pilots' eyesight and is also one of the daily training tasks for Air Force pilots.

“That’s not necessary,” Fang Zongxi said. “The food here is quite good, much better than the cafeteria food. How did you find this private restaurant?”

"This is my restaurant, but I don't participate in the daily operations; I leave it all to professional managers."

As soon as Wang Yifei spoke, Fang Zongxi's expression became even more helpless: "It seems everyone was right, I've ended up living off a woman." (End of Chapter)
