When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Top floor of Snow Palace International Global Center.

Chen Yang sat in a leather swivel chair, with the snow line of Harbin stretching out from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The deep red dots on the big screen flickered, covering the entire territory of the Russian Bear Country.

"Brother, according to the news, there has been an armed conflict between the two countries, and the Russians have entered Russian territory."

Chen Yue pushed open the door, her hurried footsteps making a crisp sound on the floor.

She placed the terminal on the desktop.

Major news agencies around the world issued official news bulletins, all stating that Russia had violated the peace treaty and openly entered another country's territory.

The Western alliance announced that it has officially launched sanctions against Russia, completely removing Russia from the global SWIFT settlement system.

This means that the financial sector in Russia will become an isolated island, and all cross-border transfers and foreign trade remittances will come to a standstill in this minute.

At the same time, the Western alliance announced the freezing of all of Mao's assets abroad.

"Old Ivan's stock price has halved."

Chen Yue pointed to the real-time fluctuations in the financial market.

The screen showed that all stocks in Mauritius plummeted by more than 50 percent, and the exchange rate also fluctuated wildly!

"That was expected."

Chen Yang didn't expect Da Mao to act so quickly and decisively, and pressed the button on the inside of the phone in front of him.

"Lei Zi."

"Boss, the entire Black Kite Group is in position."

Lei Zi's voice was transmitted back via an encrypted channel.

"The manpower in Mo City has been doubled to take over the defense zone of Katyusha Manor, and the configuration has been upgraded to S-level, equipped with a micro-swarm system."

"receive."

Just then, the huge holographic screen lit up.

The video request came from Mocheng.

In the picture, Katyusha is wearing a white velvet haute couture gown, with the crystal chandelier of the manor at No. 1 Tver Street in Mochevern in the background.

She could faintly hear the roar of armored vehicles passing by outside the window, but her face remained calm.

"husband."

Katyusha looked at Chen Yang.

"It's chaotic outside."

"Is order still intact?"

Chen Yang asked.

"The Red Palace has sealed off the city center. Ivan has led a team to hold an emergency meeting. There are long lines of people withdrawing cash outside the banks. After the Western blockade, our crude oil has arrived at the port, but the buyers cannot pay."

Katyusha spoke calmly.

"In Ivan's group accounts, tens of billions of dollars are locked in overseas banks, and now the prices in Mo City have tripled."

Chen Yang gazed into her eyes.

"Stay in the manor and don't go anywhere."

"Black Kite Group's security personnel have been deployed on the streets around you; no one can break in."

Katyusha nodded.

"Ivan is very anxious now. He says the energy empire is going to collapse."

"It won't collapse."

Chen Yang looked at Chen Yue.

Chen Yue understood immediately and handed over a newly drafted business plan.

"Tell Ivan that those are Western rules, not mine."

"From now on, Snow Palace Group will act as a third-party recipient and fully take over all of Mo City Energy Group's crude oil shares."

Katyusha countered with a question.

"How will we settle the payment? Both US dollars and euros are banned."

Chen Yang tapped on the table.

"We don't need their currency."

"Snow Palace will use the entire industrial chain of daily necessities to exchange for crude oil, from food and medicine to precision parts, directly through land ports, bypassing sea transport and their settlement centers."

Katyusha's eyes lit up.

"Is this the strategic channel you discussed with Minister Li yesterday?"

"right."

Chen Yang raised his chin.

"This is both a barter system and a reconstruction of rules."

"Since they want to turn Russia into an isolated island, then I will build a golden bridge to the East on this isolated island."

"Honey, I'll contact Ivan right away."

Katyusha turned off the video.

Chen Yang stood up.

Chen Yue was flipping through the customs declaration documents.

"Brother, the list they gave us is very long. We need a lot of daily supplies, as well as military-grade protective gear."

"Contact those major domestic trading companies."

Chen Yang walked down the steps.

"Tell them that the Snow Palace Group wants to buy up all their inventory, in cash."

"We acquired all the factories that had to shut down due to sanctions, transformed them, and are now fully dedicated to supplying Mo City."

At the door, Lei Zi pushed the door open and entered.

"Boss, Director Li's convoy has arrived downstairs. He wants to confirm the progress of the technology licensing handover."

"Let him come up."

Chen Yang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

A few minutes later, Director Li entered the conference room with his entourage.

He looked more tired than yesterday.

"Mr. Chen, the global situation has changed, and we are under great pressure."

Li placed his briefcase on the table.

"Your application for a green channel for land transport has been specially approved, but the West might impose targeted financial sanctions. Can Snow Palace withstand that?"

Chen Yang turned around.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars in cash flow in my account are prepared for this day."

"They blockade the financial system, so I'll throw money at rebuilding it."

"Minister Li, the energy agreement has been signed. The three super-large gas fields within the territory of Russia are now nominally under the management of Snow Palace Venture Capital."

Li's pupils contracted.

"Three gas fields? Ivanovic is willing to let them go?"

He had no choice.

Chen Yang's voice was calm.

"Rather than letting his industry be frozen by the West, he would rather hand over his lifeline to me, his son-in-law."

"The key now is the speed of transporting supplies."

Chen Yue projected the latest logistics blueprint onto the main screen.

"We plan to activate the Arctic Circle deep-sea shipping route, in conjunction with land ports, to operate 24 hours a day."

"We need satellite guidance and weather support from the military."

Li Bu looked at Chen Yang and pondered for a moment.

"We can cooperate."

"As long as you can guarantee the stability of the energy supply, the country will fully support you in terms of all logistical resources."

"Then let's sign the second confidentiality agreement."

Chen Yang gestured for him to proceed.

Li signed his name on the document and left with his men.

Only the Chen siblings remained in the office.

"Brother, by doing this, we are openly challenging the global financial order."

Chen Yue closed the bag.

"If it succeeds, Snow Palace will be the world's largest offshore conglomerate."

Chen Yang walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of mineral water.

"Order is meant to be broken."

"Lei Zi."

"exist."

"Notify Black Kite Defense that the first escort convoy is ready to depart, destination: Mo City."

Chen Yang looked out the window at the vast northern land.

"Anyone who dares to block the way will be physically eliminated."

Lei nodded and turned to walk towards the elevator.

On the rooftop of Snow Palace International, several heavy helicopters slowly took off, the roar of their engines drowning out the city's hustle and bustle.

Chen Yang stood on the high ground, looking at the dazzling array of wealth, his palm pressed against the cold glass.
