Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The Capitol Hill was still brightly lit late into the night, with smoke filling the offices of members of both parties.

When the news spread that Lao Baitou's team had finally relented and tacitly agreed to Meng Chuan inheriting the Rothschild assets.

Those politicians who had been clamoring for "national security" suddenly fell silent.

Because nobody wants to be the bad guy who "prevents people from receiving money".

This strange tacit understanding is like a thin layer of ice covering the huge vortex of fifty trillion assets.

Everyone knows that there are turbulent currents beneath the ice, but no one dares to break it first.

On the top floor of the Green Gang Group building, Meng Chuan was facing a detailed world map.

Yingdie pushed a list highlighted in red in front of him:

"The Rothschild Group has 78 companies involved in sensitive sectors, including three chip foundries, five deep-sea exploration stations, and a North American power grid dispatching company that they control. These are all companies that the U.S. government will absolutely not let go of."

Meng Chuan said nonchalantly:

“What I want is cash, not these hot potatoes. If they want to keep it, they should pay up. That saves me the trouble of finding a buyer.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yingdie's encrypted phone rang.

It was a dedicated line from the U.S. Treasury Department, and the other end's tone carried a deliberately suppressed urgency:

“Mr. Meng, we hope to discuss the details of the asset transfer in person. Some assets involving national security may… be acquired by the government.”

Meng Chuan picked up the phone and chuckled:

"Acquisition? Actually, there are some companies I don't plan to sell. I only want to sell a portion of them to raise enough tax revenue to reach 20 trillion yuan."

The voice on the other end of the phone instantly tensed up:

“Mr. Meng, this is against international rules! Some technologies are subject to export controls—”

"Oh? But now they are my assets."

Meng Chuan slowly twirled the pen:

"I have the right to decide where they go, don't I? I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy right now."

Meng Chuan hung up the phone, and Ying Die raised an eyebrow:

"They really got anxious."

"The worst is yet to come."

Meng Chuan looked out the window:

"If the US government needs that $20 trillion in emergency relief, it has to use real money to buy time."

They won't be able to collect those 20 trillion in tax revenue.

They will then be unable to gain the trust of voters.

The following morning, in the Oval Office of the White House, the Treasury Secretary's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He looked at the list handed over by the representative sent by Meng Chuan.

Fingers trembled over the figure of "chip factory valuation of 5 trillion":

"This is outrageous! The actual market value of these factories is at most 3 trillion!"

Yingdie pushed an audit report forward with a blank expression:

"This is the Rothschild family's internal valuation in 2019. Considering the premium for technological monopoly, we only added 50%. If the government feels it's not worthwhile, we can contact Four Star and Taiwan Power Company. They sent us an inquiry yesterday."

"no!"

The President's National Security Advisor slammed his fist on the table:

"These technologies must never be allowed to flow to Asia!"

Yingdie tilted her head slightly, revealing just the right amount of confusion:

"But Mr. Meng said he needs to get his funds back as soon as possible. Isn't it normal to sell to whoever offers the highest price?"

Yingdie's words pierced everyone present like a needle.

From the perspective of the capital market, Yingdie's words are perfectly reasonable.

But in reality, Meng Chuan was even more anxious than they were.

Meng Chuan knew that if Trump lost the election, this asset deal could be overturned at any time.

This unexpected gift had absolutely nothing to do with Meng Chuan.

While it may seem like Yingdie is raising the price, she is actually quite panicked inside.

Of course, both Trump and Biden, the two party leaders, have now included "giving money" in their campaign platforms.

If the 20 trillion yuan in tax revenue is delayed, the public's anger will burn them to ashes.

Three days later, an unbelievable agreement was secretly signed.

The U.S. government acquired 17 companies involved in core technologies for $10 trillion.

This includes some oil industries.

This is equivalent to paying a premium of nearly one trillion to buy these "non-sale items".

Even more astonishingly, the Ministry of Finance added a clause to the annex to the agreement:

All funds transferred out of the United States by Meng Chuan within the next year will be exempt from capital gains tax and cross-border transaction tax.

Yingdie placed the signed agreement in front of Meng Chuan and said with a smile:

“They are even more impatient than we are. Right now, it would be equivalent to us giving up 17 companies and paying 10 trillion in taxes, and that would be enough.”

Meng Chuan flipped through the agreement and suddenly burst out laughing:

"We were just lucky; they happened to be at a crucial moment in the election."

"We want things to settle down before the election results are in."

"They also want to get that 20 trillion before the election results are in."

Even Meng Chuan marveled at his incredible luck.

As for all of Rothschild's properties, Meng Chuan had no intention of keeping any of them.

Because the US government will eventually renege on this deal.

This deal appears to give the U.S. government control over a large number of core companies.

It also received $10 trillion in tax revenue.

But within a year, the drawbacks will become apparent.

If Meng Chuan continues to hold numerous companies in the United States as a capitalist.

They will definitely be purged in the future.

While the government was busy transferring sensitive assets, Wall Street also witnessed a capital frenzy.

The Morgan family's CEO, along with representatives from established capitalist families such as Kennedy and Rockefeller, squeezed into the conference room of the Green Gang's New York branch.

As they stared at the Rothschild Bank's shareholding structure diagram projected on the screen, their breathing became heavy.

"This bank holds custody of 30% of the European Central Bank's gold reserves."

Morgan's CEO licked his lips:

"How about we, the 12 companies, jointly invest 1 trillion yuan to acquire 100% of the equity?"

Yingdie took out her calculator and tapped a few times:

"The assessment shows that the bank's actual value is 1.2 trillion. However, considering everyone's sincerity, Mr. Meng agrees to a deal of 1 trillion—provided that it is paid in full in cash and the funds arrive within three days."

"make a deal!"

Nobody cares about the 2000 billion difference.

For these financial giants, being able to snatch a piece of meat from the Rothschilds' mouth is a victory in itself.

It's important to understand that for the past century, they had only ever served as lackeys to this long-established bank.

Similar scenes are playing out across the United States.

Elon Musk acquired several mining or technology companies for $4000 billion.

The Warburg family then acquired several private banks in Europe.

The most outrageous move was the trust fund established by Meng Chuan and Alice, which used $500 billion to acquire five media groups, making them the fourth largest media tycoon in the United States overnight.

And this 5000 billion yuan originally belonged to Meng Chuan.

This would provide Meng Chuan with a legal channel to bring the 5000 billion yuan back to China.

They also acquired equity in five media groups for free.

Elon Ma is one of them.

Meng Chuan is one of Elonma's shareholders.

It's equivalent to Meng Chuan selling the company to himself.

The money was taken away, but the shares remained in his own hands.
