    Since the Moratti family has been alarmed, it is inconvenient for Jonas to continue to stay in Milan. Otherwise, it is also a personal favor to be taken care of by the Moratti family every day.  Not to mention anything else, it's just a personal favor to send a few of their juniors to take them around every day.  Therefore, after visiting Armani¡¯s design studio with Ivanka, Jonas took Ivanka back to Switzerland.

    Ivanka is quite awkward about her identity and insists on not entering the house to meet Jonas¡¯s family.  Jonas simply decided to take her to St. Moritz to meet Richie. It was still a good season for skiing in St. Moritz, and it was time for him to have a good talk with Richie.

    As for Colston, he actually took Giovanni to Munich to pick up girls.  Because of the awkward relationship with the Agnelli family, Giovanni's car is not a Ferrari, but a Lamborghini owned by Volkswagen.  The two people drove the king and the queen of the sports car coquettishly towards Munich.

    Because of the barrier of the Alps, they did not go together and parted ways in Milan.  Jonas walked north along the east coast of Lake Como, passing through Chiavenna in northern Italy, then turned east and followed the valley to St. Moritz.  Ivanka was dazzled by the snow-capped mountains and glaciers along the way, and was lost in the uncanny natural beauty.

    When he met Jonas, Rich¡¯s first words were: ¡°I thought you would come back when you came back from Africa.¡±

    Jonas said with a playful smile: "Of course you are not as attractive as a beautiful woman. Let me introduce to you, Ivanka Trump"

    Richie smiled and said: "I met her 20 years earlier than you. When she was baptized, the flamboyant Donald wanted to invite everyone from New York to her baptism." Richie's face darkened a lot, and he sighed and said, "That's  My last days in New York.¡±

    Ivanka asked shyly: "Mr. Rich, are you still willing to return to the United States?"

    Richie smiled and said: "I like New York and the United States, but America can only be a place in my memories for me. Even though Bill has pardoned me, if I dare to return to the United States, they will always find other excuses to detain me."  Me. Even now, there are still people who want to deal with me."

    ?Or maybe it¡¯s because Ivanka is here.  Richie quickly changed the subject.  "Little Ivanka, how is Denise?"

    "You know, a woman. Without her husband's arms, no matter how beautiful her life is, there are still shortcomings in her life. Mr. Rich, since you both still love each other, why can't you get back together again?"

    Richie smiled bitterly and looked out the window at the snow-capped mountains.  "Because she loves me, she also hates me."

    Jonas thought to himself, of course he will hate you, you keep getting one beautiful woman after another in Switzerland.  But Denise never looked for another man.  But considering that he is such a bastard, he is not qualified to attack Richie.  He secretly glanced at Ivanka, but when her eyes met his, Jonas felt guilty for a moment and smiled flatteringly.

    Ivanka sighed: "It seems that nothing is completely perfect in the world, but it is precisely the shortcomings that make people more heart-warming."

    Richie smiled and asked: "Are you lamenting your relationship with Jonas?"

    Ivanka said coquettishly: "Mr. Rich, you can't laugh at me like this. Although you are right."

    Richie smiled and said: "I heard that you are coming. I have already arranged the room. Have a good night's rest and let Jonas take you to ski tomorrow. The ski resort here is very famous."

    ¡°But I didn¡¯t bring my ski equipment.¡±

    Rich laughed and said: ¡°For us, problems that can be solved with money have never been a problem.¡±

    Knowing that the two of them had something to communicate, Ivanka followed Rich¡¯s new secretary to the guest room to settle in.  Through Boggs and the others, Rich always knew everything that was happening around Jonas, and he often told Jonas about things around him through Boggs and the others.  So Jonas also knew very well about his change of secretary.

    Richie originally had no less than ten members of the secret group.  Everyone is doing their job, this time from the trading company he owns.  An administrative director with many years of experience was promoted as his assistant to manage these secretaries.  And Cassinari took advantage of Jonas's company to take a short vacation before it entered formal preparations.  She also reported it to Jonas, the new boss, in advance. Of course Jonas had no objections. In fact, he was quite satisfied. This was a proven talent.

    Introducing the new assistant Hispanic Madeline to Jonas, Madeline resigned in a sensible manner, leaving space for the two of them.  Madeline went out, but Richie didn't speak for a long time, with a trace of fatigue on his face.

    Jonas said: "Mark, you don't look very good. Did you encounter something troublesome?"

    &nbspRich smiled and said: "I am used to facing these complicated things, I can solve them." Thinking of Jonas's foresight and analysis ability, he asked tentatively: "Do you know about the oil-for-food plan?"

    Almost no one doesn¡¯t know this. As soon as Richie mentioned it, Jonas understood why Richie was troubled.  Because the United Nations' oil-for-food program started in 1996 and was implemented for eight years, it was discovered that this good plan was hopelessly corroded by moths from all sides.  United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, and a large number of moths were uncovered.  What makes him embarrassed is that even he has stains on his body that cannot be washed away.

    Because the Swiss Cortna Company, which Annan authorized to supervise this transaction, was also involved, and Annan's son was also employed by Cortna Company and was involved in a US$60 million oil transaction.  In his previous life, Jonas watched the news, and it was impossible to know the real secret. He only knew that a large number of people were dismissed from their posts and even went to jail.

    Jonas nodded and said, "Has Annan decided to investigate this matter thoroughly? Isn't he afraid that it will eventually be found on himself?"

    Richie laughed and was very satisfied with Jonas's reaction. He was a smart man and didn't need any further guidance.  "Jonas, you never let me down."

    Jonas asked: "What I don't understand is, what role did you play in it?"

    Rich smiled and said: "The oil-for-food plan was originally provided to the United Nations by me."

    Richie¡¯s words shocked Jonas.  Such a big plan, involving almost all major countries, was originally proposed by Rich!  How can this not be shocking!  According to Rich's way of doing things, since he proposed this plan, the loopholes in it must have been designed from the beginning. Pulling almost everyone aboard his warship is indeed a good way of protection.  It is a pity that human greed is terrible, and the development of the situation will not be controllable by Richie at best.

    Jonas took a long time to digest the impact of Richie's words, and then asked: "Since you proposed the plan, you must have benefited a lot from it. The United Nations has not yet formally established an investigation team.  , then you should first remove yourself from it.¡±

    "Do you think this investigation will be able to go deeper?"

    Jonas recalled that in his previous life, it was in 2005 and 2006, when this matter entered a feverish stage. Now it is only 2004, and things seem to still have a chance to work.  He nodded and said: "Even if this investigation ends without results, there will still be another time. It will be beneficial and harmless to yourself to get rid of yourself as soon as possible."

    "Do you think this matter can be investigated?"

    Jonas nodded, "Definitely. Although the resistance to investigating this matter is great, the motivation is even greater. Because there are more latecomers who fancy the position of those United Nations officials, and they occupy the righteousness.  So we will definitely do our best to promote a thorough investigation.¡±

    ¡°That means that this way of making money is going to be abandoned again?!¡±

    Jonas couldn't understand what was going on in Rich's mind at all, and said: "Saddam has been captured by the US military, and what awaits him will be hanging. When the new government comes to power, old accounts from the past will definitely be settled.  I don¡¯t think this path can continue.¡±

    Rich smiled calmly and said: "I'm not referring to Iraq. For me, Iraq is just a customer. His regime change will not have a big impact on me. Even if the new regime comes to power, I can continue to get cooperation."  opportunity. What I want to say is that since the United Nations has recognized the loopholes in this plan, it will definitely shelve this plan. It is a pity, this is actually a good plan."

    Only then did Jonas understand what Richie meant. It was a pity that the oil-for-food channel was about to be closed.  Jonas smiled and said: "Even if we do not get official approval from United Nations officials in the future, we will still be able to operate this plan. Haven't you always done this? Your grain and oil companies in the Netherlands have been asking Russia  , does Africa supply food?!¡±

    Rich shook his head and said: "You don't understand these. Without this banner, actual operations will be very difficult. Although the world is known as a free trade market, it has never been free. Food is more important than minerals and energy.  Strategic reserves, superpowers have always used this to control countries that cannot be self-sufficient in food. It is okay to make small fights in the cracks, but when the situation changes, embargo is the best weapon."

    "I know this, but I don't know what it has to do with the oil-for-food plan."

    Richie became interested, sat up straight and said: "You see, all plans require people to operate, and internationally, except forSince the United Nations is an administrative service agency, most commercial and economic services are completed by third parties.  Who is this third party?  It will definitely be something that most member states can accept, just like the Kotna Company in the food-for-oil swap.  "(To be continued)
