Chapter 4 Where Does Your Confidence Come From?
Chapter 4 Where did your faith come from
An Feng sighed helplessly, but his tone was not much complaining or grievance: "Oh, my dad's situation is similar to yours - he is separated from the two places. He is an oil exploration worker, he is not at home for many years, or even for several years. I am used to ignoring him."
Zhou Tao was surprised: "Oil workers, they should have a high income. Why are you... you are in a hurry to make money at such a young age."
"Oh, the income is high, but what does it have to do with us - he never sends his salary back, he can only bring some money back when he comes home during the Chinese New Year, but the money... is not enough for him to spend in the end," An Feng sighed and added: "He is addicted to alcohol, and life in the wild has caused him to suffer a lot of problems."
"You..." Zhou Tao chose the words: "No wonder you are a little autistic... He doesn't care about his family at all. Do you hate him?"
An Feng grinned and replied with a smile: "It is said that a Hollywood actress won the award. She talked about her mother in her award speech. She said: My mother is taking drugs, prostitution, and going to jail. She always does this to me and that to me...but I love her.
This speech received a lot of applause because this is human nature. It is human nature's attachment to the love of blood relatives. People applauded these words to cheer for human nature because the award-winning actress did not feel that she was superior to humans because she did not feel that she did not need to have the moral feelings of ordinary humans because of the award-winning actress."
After a moment of pause, An Feng added softly: "I am a human, don't induce my hatred!"
Zhou Tao nodded. It is understandable that autistic children have different thinking from ordinary people.
After a moment of silence, An Feng continued to add: "My mother said it was not easy for him. She worked in the wild and had no meals. She needed to buy everything by herself. So, he earned enough money and spent it by herself. We don't expect him."
Zhou Tao wriggled his lips, but finally decided to give up the argument. He took a medical record and prepared to fill it out, and asked casually: "What are you going to do after making money?"
"Take me out!" An Feng said in shock.
Zhou Tao stopped writing in shock, stunned for a moment before he remembered to ask: "You want to go out, what do you do? Run away from home? No, the situation in your home is not as far as you need to leave home. Think about it, your mother should be sad after you leave..."
The real reason An Feng wanted to go out was because... this year was 1991. The "Desert Storm" started at the beginning of the year, and the US military swept the Iraqi army in a short time... Well, who is more just in this war has nothing to do with An Feng. However, when Iraq occupied Kuwait, the Kuwait government and Kuwait civilians accumulated nearly a hundred years of oil wealth and transported it back to Iraq - this money, An Feng wanted to have a *relationship with them.
It is said that when the war first began, Iraq thought that it could permanently occupy Kuwait, so it was not harsh on the wealth of the Kuwait government and the people. Only a small number of Iraqi soldiers wandering around the streets plundered some of the wealth of Kuwait, but they were not in a hurry to transport it back to their country. After the US military began the attack, Iraq panicked and knew that it could not hold on, so it hurriedly transferred Kuwaitian wealth to the country.
Kuwait was the richest country in the world at that time, and the wealth accumulated... After the war, it was said that the Kuwait State Bank lost more than 3,000 tons of gold, and among the people, the antiques, treasures, and deposits collected by the rich people of Kuwait were all plundered. So much so that after the war, Kuwait fell from the richest man in the world to the ordinary rich country, and the treasures and antiques retained by his ancestors became personal collections of Iraqi soldiers.
With such a huge amount of wealth, it is not easy to transport it out. Especially at the beginning of the war, the US military obtained absolute air supremacy. Under the bombardment of aircraft, it was difficult for Iraq's transport convoy to complete the journey home smoothly.
The war ended very quickly, and no one expected that 37 days later, Iraq, the former Arab powerhouse, began to collapse on its entire line. At this time, many transshipment convoys had not yet driven out of Kuwait, many transshipment convoys were still avoiding bombing in the desert, many transshipment convoys were still preparing to refuel at gas stations, and some transshipment convoys were bombed by the US military.
Afterwards, part of the wealth fell into the hands of US soldiers, partly seized by the Americans and returned to Kuwait, partly divided by the Ministry of Defense of the participating countries, and partly partly scattered in the desert and flooded by storms. In the following decades, this wealth in the desert became the object of competition for mercenaries from various countries and treasure hunters.
An Feng happened to know the whereabouts of one of the "lost wealth": a small Iraqi transport convoy chose the path to cross the desert, but unexpectedly was intercepted by the US military in the desert. At that time, the US helicopters hovered in the air and chased each transport vehicle, and the various transport vehicles broke through. They were panicked and ran wildly. Among them, the car that escaped was exhausted because of the exhaust gasoline, and the driver and the guard abandoned their cars and fled in dispersion.
Before escaping, the driver roughly recorded the abandoned location of the vehicle. That night, the desert storm came, and the storm buried the transport vehicle. The driver and three guards died of thirst in the desert during the trek...
Two years later, the body of one of the victims was found, carrying a rough piece of paper recording the gold transport vehicle on the body, and a treasure hunt began.
Treasure hunters from all over the country searched for five years before they found the gold cars scattered in the desert one by one. Although the US Department of Defense finally intervened and returned the gold carried on the car to Kuwait,... the wealth on the bodies of Iraqi soldiers quietly belonged to the treasure hunters.
You should know that when Iraqi soldiers retreated, all their pockets could not be filled, which was why they died of thirst in the desert - they had no place to hold personal supplies, so how could they not die of thirst and starve to death?
The battle for desert wealth was very bloody, but now it happened to be the safest moment. The Iraqi Defense Forces were dispersed and there was no record of transport convoys. The Mid-American soldiers who participated in the war returned to China to retire and scattered among the people to become civilians, without realizing that they had passed by huge wealth.
At the same time, the US military command was busy sorting out the war reports and counting the results; the Kuwait government was busy rebuilding after the war; countries around the world were busy dividing up the gaps in the oil market and the distribution of post-war interests; Arab countries were clamoring how to deal with the defeated Iraq... Who would remember a small convoy of six transport vehicles?
Each of the six transport vehicles was loaded with five tons of gold and the soldiers' personal collections.
Currently, the closing price of spot gold in the international market is about US$361.2 per ounce, which is about US$12.73 per gram, or RMB 67.7 per gram. In the domestic market, the price of gold is about RMB 110 per gram... Add to the soldier's personal wealth, the value of this batch of treasures is about US$600 million.
An Feng was not greedy. He only wanted to take one of the cars, and he happened to remember the location of one of the cars - the coach who taught him self-defense was the winner of the battle for wealth... One of them. He talked about his victory, and by the way, An Feng remembered the detailed location of the golden car.
An Feng knew that the matter about this transportation team would be exposed sooner or later. If he was too greedy and took away all his wealth, not to mention how difficult it would be, it would be equivalent to attracting all treasure hunters' attention to him, which would be extremely dangerous and would not be worth the loss.
At present, there are still two years left before the exposure of wealth. During this period, one of the cars was secretly stole. Treasure hunters would only think that they did not search carefully, or that the car was quietly hidden by other treasure hunters... In this way, An Feng had time and space to cover up the truth.
This is a wealth without a boss, and whoever moves to your home will belong to you.
One-sixth of the $600 million, the most difficult threshold for obtaining this wealth is simply to go abroad.
Gold prices will appreciate slowly over the next few years until they rise to one thousand dollars per ounce. This is equivalent to tripling the value.
You must go abroad and all treasure hunting matters must be done by yourself, because you can't feel at ease with this matter to anyone.
As long as he can go out and reach that desert, 100 million US dollars belongs to him, and no one knows afterwards.
Therefore, family difficulties, autism, and money-making plans are all smoke bombs released by An Feng, and the purpose is to be able to get out.
"Why do you want to go out? What to do? How do you say it?" An Feng replied with a laugh on his face: "You want me to say: Going out is to receive a better education so that you can better serve the motherland in the future. Or you want me to say it to increase your knowledge and gain more advanced knowledge... Do you need me to say that?"
Zhou Tao stared at An Feng from the bottom of the glasses for a moment, sighing: "We have no need to explain our intelligence... Well, autism is a very new case in China, and there was no precedent before. If you want to completely cure this disease, you can only go abroad to see it. When I go abroad, I may learn more about treatment methods. At that time, if your family has the ability to afford travel expenses and living expenses, then I am willing to continue treating you for free and provide you with a residence - just treat it as a research."
"This is a good reason!" An Feng gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "I like it."
Zhou Tao tapped the medical record book with a pen and asked in a discussion tone: "So, how should I get this medical record?"
"We started this semester and a new math teacher came. She just graduated from university and had a very bad temper. When asked a question in class, I thought the questions she asked were too naive and ignored them." An Feng said in a soft voice: "She probably felt embarrassed and insisted on stopping my class... I have been suspended for a week, and my mother was very anxious and asked about the treatment methods everywhere. As a result, I came to you."
"I understand," Zhou Tao nodded, and while holding up his pen to write, he read out the content of the book: "The student has developed extraordinary intelligence, so..."
Zhou Tao stopped his pen and leaned over to ask: "So what?"
"I am arrogant, overly arrogant, arrogant...what do you think these words are suitable, just write them casually."
"Okay... This student has poor communication with others due to his extraordinary intellectual development and has severe autism... I said 'serious', don't you object?"
"It's good," An Feng, who was like a little adult, nodded with satisfaction: "Speak more seriously, others pay more attention to it."
After finishing the medical record, Zhou Tao paused for a moment and asked again: "It takes a lot of money to live abroad. The visa fee for the Embassy of Everbright requires several months of salary. Your family's situation... After you leave, your mother only has one younger brother. I know that the elderly like boys, but your sister doesn't count. Your younger brother is alone..."
"In this case..." An Feng said something carefully.
This little-old child sat peacefully in front of Zhou Tao, his eyes revealing absolute confidence and sense of control. He seriously discussed future plans with adults. Zhou Tao... didn't find it strange at the time, he felt it was natural, so the conversation was also very natural.
I heard An Feng continue, "...In this case, if I no longer need my mother to bear anything. Then the result is: My mother's salary alone only supports my sister and brother, and it will feel easier. Of course, if I can help my mother a little bit, it will be more perfect."
"Not bad... Although mothers will feel uncomfortable when they leave their children, if the burden on the family is reduced, and we are in the name of curing diseases, parents are willing to do anything for the sake of the good of their children. So your mother will definitely agree..." Zhou Tao paused and continued: "Then, we only have one problem left now: you need a lot of money.
