Li Yiwen saw this scene and couldn't help complaining: "These white-skinned people know that they are hypocritical. They are the ones who plunge Africa into war and poverty. How many people die in Africa every year just from hunger? But they are here to care about Africa."

What should I do if a child gets cancer? Don’t you think it’s funny?”

Lu Yiming also whispered in Li Yiwen's ear: "Crocodile tears, after all, it is too difficult to be a real good person, but it is easy to pretend to be a good person. If I could make 10 billion from Africa, I would also be willing to spend thousands

Come out and help children with cancer in Africa."

Subsequently, the charity auction officially began.

I have to say, they are very good at putting on a show. Although the essence of this kind of charity auction is that everyone exchanges toys, the ones they bring out are indeed good things.

For example, the first auction item was an oil painting, said to be the work of a medieval painter.

Lu Yiming took a look and felt that a bucket of paint had been knocked over, leaving a mass of colorful blocks incomprehensible.

Seeing those rich people talking about this painting, Lu Yiming immediately felt that he really had no artistic talent.

After fierce competition, this painting was sold for US$200,000.

Li Yiwen shook his head slightly and said: "If I had two hundred thousand dollars, what would I do wrong? Buy this crap."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "How can I say that you don't have artistic bacteria? This is sentiment. Do you understand sentiment?"

Next, I took pictures of several more works of art, but they were all at a level that Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen couldn't understand at all.

After a while, a pink diamond necklace caught Lu Yiming's attention.

"This thing seems good."

Lu Yiming has seen quite a few diamonds, but in his impression, no matter in jewelry stores or anywhere, they are mostly transparent diamonds, and he has rarely seen any colored diamonds, like this pure pink one.

Diamonds, he had never seen before.

Li Yiwen raised his head and took a look and said, "I still think it's better to buy beef."

Lu Yiming planned to take a photo of the pink diamond necklace and give it to Shi Qingxue this time.

After several rounds of intense bidding, Lu Yiming finally got his wish and won it for US$300,000.

After the charity auction, with the introduction of Bill Gates, Lu Yiming finally met the real owner of this trip to New York, Jeffrey Epstein.

Facing the yellow-haired old man in front of him, Lu Yiming felt like he didn't know where to start complaining.

But after all, it was an occasion like this. Not only did the first lady make the introduction, but Bill Gates made the introduction, Lu Yiming still had to show off.

"Hello."

When he saw Lu Yiming, Epstein was genuinely surprised: "Mr Lu, I'm so happy to meet you. Stories about you are still circulating throughout Wall Street. I've wanted to meet you for a long time.

.”

Epstein, who was wearing a suit, looked hospitable and warm at this time, but it was impossible to tell that beneath his glamorous appearance, he actually had a human face and a beastly heart, and was capable of all kinds of evil.

But the irony is that a villain like him is more prosperous than many kind-hearted good people, which makes people feel that this world is so magical.

On an empty lawn outside the hotel, Lu Yiming quickly chatted with Epstein about shorting U.S. stocks, especially Internet-related technology stocks, the funds and channels involved, and even how the whole thing would end.

All require the use of the interpersonal network behind Epstein.

"I need you to help me solve the funding problem, and at the same time spread the news in the circle. Anyone who is interested in participating in this plan can join it. And I can personally guarantee that the profit from shorting U.S. stocks this time will not be less than 100%."

Fifty."

Fifty percent profit is enough to make people take risks.

That's why Lu Yiming didn't boast about Haikou from the beginning. After all, things haven't been done yet, and no matter how much he talks about it, it's just nonsense.

After listening to Lu Yiming's story, Epstein was indeed very moved. In addition to the success rate of Lu Yiming's plan, Lu Yiming was also willing to invest US$2.7 billion in it.

In his opinion, a genius like Lu Yiming would never let go.

To dare to take such a big risk and use such a huge amount of funds must be full of confidence, and the benefits are so great that people are willing to give it a try.

The two parties discussed for more than an hour before finalizing all the details. In the end, Epstein expressed his willingness for Lu Yiming to solve the financial problem, and was also willing to help Lu Yiming recruit some big names to help.

Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult part was finally solved.

With the help of the big shots behind Epstein, Lu Yiming can use the tiger's skin as a banner. After all, big shots also like the U.S. dollar, and there are not many opportunities to make money like this, so they naturally want to get on board.

As long as these big figures with big names in North American politics and business circles are brought into their own chariots, as long as the final benefits satisfy them, the hyenas of the U.S. Department of Justice will have nothing to fear.

On the way back, Lu Yiming once again looked out the car window at the night view of New York that was constantly passing by. The bright lights were so dazzling under the moonlight, showing the true nature of the metropolis.

But the prosperous scene in front of us will soon be shaken by the bloody storm.

At that time, I don’t know how many unlucky people will fall from heaven into the abyss.

Every financial crisis is essentially a redistribution of social wealth, or a bloody plunder of the middle class by the rich.

This is how the decline of the United States came. Several crises and industrial transfers caused a large number of middle class people to go bankrupt and fall into extreme poverty, which led to various problems, the most critical of which was taxation.

As we all know, the middle class is the main body of taxpayers. As for the rich, the tax paid by the stock god Buffett is not as high as that of his secretary. It can only be said that capitalism is indeed a country of capitalists.

The decline of the United States had actually begun to take shape at this time.
