On September 29, 2012, the funeral of Louis III was held in the Vatican.
In the early morning, when the sky in the distance turned white, more than three million people poured into the Vatican, known as China. China. Looking around, there were dark figures everywhere, with no end in sight.
In addition to the people who poured into the Vatican last night, heads of state and representatives from more than 200 countries will also attend the funeral of Louis III. Among them, the number one figure in the United States will personally lead the team, and the Secretary of State and the previous number one figure will accompany him. , almost all heads of state in Europe will be present, and the President of the Philippines, the largest Catholic country in Asia, will also attend. In addition, leaders of several Islamic countries in the Middle East will also attend.
More than three million people and more than two hundred leaders attended the funeral. This funeral was the most solemn funeral in a century!
none of them! !
All this is just because Louis III actively advocated world peace and devoted himself to the integration of races and religions during his more than ten years in power, which has won recognition from all over the world.
In order to ensure the safety and order of the funeral, in addition to the Vatican sending a large number of members to maintain order on site, Italy also deployed half of its police and military agents.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the Vatican, Monica, dressed in white, wearing a crown and holding a scepter symbolizing power and status, led the core members of the Holy See to appear in St. Peter's Square to hold a mass of thanksgiving. .
When Monica and her group appeared, the huge St. Peter's Square was quiet. Except for the heads of state with special status, everyone else knelt down one after another to express their respect for Monica and their respect for Monica. Tribute to Louis III.
The Mass of thanksgiving to the Lord ended in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
After the Mass of thanksgiving, accompanied by Monica¡¯s order and amid the lamentations of Catholics around the world, the funeral of Louis III was held in a private manner in the St. Sebastian Chapel of St. Peter¡¯s Basilica.
Unlike the mass of thanksgiving to the Lord, ordinary people did not witness the funeral of Louis III with their own eyes. Only the more than 200 national leaders witnessed the entire funeral process with their own eyes.
After the funeral, more than two hundred national leaders said goodbye to Monica one after another and left one after another.
After they left, most of the people who came to attend the funeral of Louis III were reluctant to leave. Instead, they knelt down in the Vatican, chanted scriptures and prayed.
While the entire sky above the Vatican was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, the sky above Yanjing was filled with dark clouds, threatening to overwhelm the city.
It¡¯s nine o¡¯clock in the morning in the Vatican, and it¡¯s already five o¡¯clock in the afternoon in Yanjing.
five o'clock.
In the Royal Garden, Organization No. 1 held an emergency standing committee meeting. Except for No. 1, eight other big bosses who stood at the top of the power pyramid, including Yan Qinglai, all attended the meeting.
The meeting lasted for three hours, and it was not over until darkness enveloped the sky in Yanjing.
After deliberation and decision at the meeting, Yan Qinglai was responsible for presiding over the Yanjing Financial Summit held on October 1 at the People's Congress Hall, z.y office, g.bsp; Yan Qinglai was the last one to leave the meeting room.
When he left, his face was extremely solemn and his brows were tightly knitted together.
In fact, when the meeting started and he heard No. 1 announcing that the theme of the meeting was the Yanjing Financial Summit, his face became extremely ugly.
Becauseas the number three figure, he had no idea that there was such a financial summit before this meeting!
Andaccording to No. 1, all the people attending the summit are business godfathers who stand at the top of the wealth pyramid!
Both his intuition and reason told him that this sudden and incredible financial summit was a great event for China, but a bad sign for him.
At 8:20, Yan Qinglai returned to his office, and Chief of Staff Yan Anshan arrived at the office immediately.
"Anshan, an emergency meeting has just been held. A group of the world's richest people will arrive in Yanjing on October 1st to attend the Yanjing Financial Summit. I will chair the meeting." Seeing Yan'an Mountain, Yan Qinglai looked solemn. He told the content of the meeting and seemed to want Yan'an Mountain to help him analyze it.
"Yanjing Financial Summit?" Hearing Yan Qinglai's words, Yan'anshan's eyes widened: "A group of the world's richest people are participating?"
"Yeah." Yan Qinglai nodded and said in a solemn tone: "I looked at the list and more than 90% of the people on the list are hidden rich people."
"xx, something is wrong." Yan'anshan's brows also knitted together: "This so-called financial summit came too suddenly. We had no news at all before. This is completely unreasonable"
Having said this, Yan'anshan did not continue, a bad thought emerged in his mind.
"Anshan, do you think this will be the last trump card he plays?"
Yan'an Mountain did not dare to continue talking, but Yan Qinglai expressed his biggest worry. While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Yan'an Mountain, and his whole heart was directly in his throat.
Sensing the tension and worry shown by Yan Qinglai, Yan'anshan looked ugly and did not dare to speak easily.
He was evaluated as a national scholar by Yan Qinglai, with top-notch IQ and emotional intelligence. He naturally understood that if this financial summit, which would definitely be written into the history books of the business world, was Chen Fan's last trump card, the Yan family would be in danger. Got it!
Even Yan'an Mountain knows the significance of this matter, let alone Yan Qinglai, who has been fighting in officialdom for a lifetime?
Seeing that Yan'an Mountain remained silent, Yan Qinglai's heart fell to the bottom, but he still refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and looked like he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin: "Anshan, you can say whatever you think. , don¡¯t worry.¡±
"I think so."
Yan'an Mountain struggled to spit out four words. The sound was not loud, but it was like muffled thunder.
"Huhhuh"
Under the light, Yan Qinglai was shocked, the muscles in the corners of his eyes were beating, and his breathing became extremely rapid: "Anshan, you don't know something. The members attending the summit include Lu Sen, the current patriarch of the Rod Childs family, and Iwasaki of Japan. Yagen Iwasaki of the family, are these people going to sacrifice their own interests to help that bastard? You know, by doing this, they will offend many countries and forces, and the losses will be incalculable!"
At this moment, Yan Qinglai seemed to have become Ah Q in Lu Xun's works, using Ah Q's spirit to try to persuade Yan'an Mountain and himself.
In other words, hypnosis is more appropriate.
His expression was like that of a gambler behind the scenes. Seeing his opponent take out the biggest deck of cards, he was desperate and in disbelief!
Yan Qinglai¡¯s words rang in his ears, and Yan Qinglai¡¯s eyes showed the look of Yan Qinglai who would not shed tears even if he saw the coffin. Yan¡¯an Mountain felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Originally, in his opinion, Yan Qinglai used Dark Phantom's affair with Chen Fan as a breakthrough point and counterattacked to reverse the situation and ensure that the game was undefeated.
But¡ª¡ª
Now, the sudden Yanjing Financial Summit is like the hand of death, dragging Yan Qinglai into hell.
He also fell into hell.
If his master Yan Qinglai loses this chess game, he has 10,000 reasons to believe that he will be buried with him!
"xx, what you said makes sense. Maybe things are not as bad as we thought." As if being infected by Yan Qinglai, Yan'anshan also used Ah Q's spirit to persuade Yan Qinglai while despairing: "I think There are two things we have to do now. First, find a way to contact the people attending the Yanjing Financial Summit and find out their purpose of coming to the summit. Second, this meeting is unusual. You As the host of the meeting, you must arrange everything - I suggest that an emergency meeting be held tonight to arrange all matters for the meeting."
Hearing Yan'an Mountain's proposal in shock, Yan Qinglai's heart moved and he nodded in approval: "Anshan, you are right, we can't just mess up the situation like this. In this case, you should contact Li Tiancheng immediately to see if you can get help from him. Use your mouth to dig out useful information.¡±
Li Tiancheng?
Hearing this name that represents the godfather of the Chinese business community, Yan'anshan couldn't help but think of the close relationship between Li Tiancheng and Chen Fan during the "Celebration of the Fifteenth Anniversary of Hong Kong's Return".
That day, Li Tiancheng accepted Xiao Feng and Tian Cao as his apprentices because of Chen Fan.
Thinking of this, I rationally told Yan'an Mountain that it would be quite difficult to dig out information from Li Tiancheng's mouth.
At the same time, he also knew that if he could not dig out useful information from Li Tiancheng, then he would have to wait until October 1st to know the real result - the other top rich people are all foreigners, and they all stomp their feet. , a role that can shake up the global financial world, Yan'anshan does not think that those big shots will give Yan Qing face. Besides, they are probably here to help Chen Fan!
In such a situation, the possibility of digging out information from the mouths of the top wealthy people is zero.
With almost despair, Yan'anshan turned around solemnly and tried to make a call in his own office.
"Anshan, just use this phone."
Yan Qinglai called to Yan'anshan and pointed to the phone on the desk in front of him.
Yan Qinglai¡¯s words rang in his ears. Yan¡¯an Mountain understood Yan Qinglai¡¯s intention and did not dare to say more. QuicklyHe walked to the desk and picked up the phone.
As Yan Qinglai¡¯s chief of staff, Yan¡¯anshan is no stranger to Li Tiancheng. He has met Li Tiancheng several times and had several brief conversations. He knows Li Tiancheng¡¯s office and personal phone numbers.
After picking up the phone, Yan'anshan dialed Li Tiancheng's personal phone number without any hesitation.
¡°Obviouslyhe also knew that it was already late and there was little chance that Li Tiancheng would be in the office.
"Beepbeep"
The call was dialed, and the sound coming from the receiver was extremely harsh in the quiet office. Yan'anshan held his breath while holding the phone, and Yan Qinglai also stared directly at the phone.
Finally, with the worried, nervous, and expectant expressions on their faces, the phone was connected, and a magnetic voice came from the receiver: "Hello, I am Mr. Li's personal assistant Jia Ping. Who are you?"
"Hello, I am Yan'anshan, Yan xx's secretary." Yan'anshan did not dare to neglect, adjusted his mood, introduced himself, and then went straight to the topic: "I want to ask Mr. Li something, he can answer the phone conveniently What?"
¡°Perhaps knowing Li Tiancheng¡¯s identity and status, Yan¡¯anshan did not dare to act like secretary xx, and spoke quite politely.
"Sorry, Secretary Yan, Mr. Li is not feeling well tonight and has fallen asleep." On the other end of the phone, the middle-aged man who is Li Tiancheng's personal assistant said seriously: "If you find it convenient, I can tell you; if not It¡¯s convenient, so please call again tomorrow morning.¡±
"Mr. Jia, what I want to discuss with Mr. Li is very important"
Yan'anshan's face was full of anxiety, and it felt as if Li Tiancheng had to answer the phone.
However¡ª¡ª
Before he could finish what he said, he was rudely interrupted by Li Tiancheng's personal assistant Jia Ping: "Secretary Yan, I'm really sorry. Mr. Li's personal doctor said that Mr. Li must ensure enough sleep. , no one is allowed to disturb, so"
Jia Ping didn¡¯t say what he said next, but the meaning was very clear: No matter what you say, Li Tiancheng can¡¯t answer the phone!
"All right."
Yan'anshan sighed and hung up the phone angrily and depressedly.
"what happened?"
Yan Qinglai frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face. After all, Yan'anshan made the call from his office phone. In such a situation, Li Tiancheng hung up the phone without even answering the phone. How could this not make him angry? ?
Sensing Yan Qinglai¡¯s anger, Yan¡¯anshan replied truthfully: ¡°Li Tiancheng¡¯s personal assistant said that Li Tiancheng was unwell and had already fallen asleep.¡±
"Nonsense!"
Hearing the report from Yan'an Mountain, Yan Qinglai was very angry. He felt that his authority was being challenged.
Then, he grabbed the phone with anger on his face.
He wants to call Li Tiancheng himself!
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
When Yan Qinglai dialed Li Tiancheng's cell phone, the sweet voice of the voice lady came from the receiver.
"boom!"
The voice of the voice assistant rang in his ears. Yan Qinglai was so angry that he trembled and smashed the phone.
At this moment, he was like a drowning man who had thrown away the last straw and was sentenced to death!
at the same time.
On the other end of the phone, Li Tianping was sitting on the chair in the study room, quietly listening to his personal assistant report on the content of the phone call just now.
¡°Obviously Li Tiancheng was present when Jia Ping answered the phone just now, and he authorized Jia Ping to say that.
"Jia Ping, please go out first."
After listening to Jia Ping's report, Li Tianping spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Yes, Chairman!"
Jia Ping bowed, exited the study, and gently closed the study door.
Seeing Jia Ping leave, Li Tiancheng stood up and walked to the window of the study. Looking at the charming night scene outside the window, he sighed inexplicably: "Yan Qing is coming, Yan Qing is coming, it's already this time, you call me, what's the point?" What's the effect? ??Do you think you can still make a comeback? You are smart all your life, but you were confused for a moment. You should never have offended him - from the moment you provoked him, your ending today was doomed. !¡±
After finishing his words, the old man, known as the godfather of Chinese finance, couldn't help but turn his eyes to the north, as if he wanted to see the city of Yanjing, which was thousands of miles away.
¡°Sixty-three years ago, Chairman Mao¡¯s declaration allowed the whole world to witness the emergence of New China.The day after tomorrow, what that young man does will allow the whole world to witness the awakening of the sleeping lion in East Asia? "
meeting!
The answer emerged in his mind, and the old man's heart was surging, and he could not calm down for a long time.
