I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2594 - 1623: Couple’s Outfits (2)

"I’m not going."

"..."

Jiang Chen sighed, "I told you, it’s news."

He mused, "70 million Australian Dollars, just handed over without blinking. If all our compatriots living abroad donated a bit, wouldn’t that end poverty for us?"

"That’s a robber’s mindset. Why should they donate?"

Being retorted, Boss Jiang didn’t mind, savoring the aftertaste of the wine on his tongue, "It’s not just the 70 million bail. There’s a rumor that any random card of hers has a balance of 300 billion Australian Dollars."

"How much?"

Fang Qing finally showed interest.

"300 billion Australian Dollars."

"1.2 trillion RMB?"

Others might need to pull out their phone and check, but Qing Gege instantly did the currency conversion.

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Upon hearing the news, his first reaction was to find it amusing, followed by a sense of unease.

Click.

A girl in her twenties, with 300 billion Australian Dollars, equivalent to trillions in RMB, just lying in her account. How should so-called wealthy people feel? How should he feel?

If this news is true, then all the previous richest people from Shen Zhou combined are nothing but pot cleaners for her.

"You’re very bored."

Fang Qing remarked concisely.

Is this news? Clearly, it’s meant to amuse her.

That person is already a filthy-rich tycoon, but trillions of RMB in a bank account?

Is this really like a game world, Earth online?

"I’m not joking, this is hot international news."

"It’s not news. It’s a joke."

Qing Gege corrected, summaries are always this insightful.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

Yeah.

He totally agreed with her characterization of it as a joke.

Is it possible for someone to have 300 billion Australian Dollars in their account?

From a professional economic perspective, the odds are about the same as a vegetative person waking up, probably even smaller.

What’s the total asset value of the Australian Federal Bank?

The latest figure is 1.12 trillion Australian Dollars.

That means if this money were deposited there, it would constitute about 20% of the bank’s total assets.

A bank’s quality liquid assets usually account for 5% to 15% of its total.

Yeah.

It means if you put this money there, it would monopolize the liquidity. So what would the bank do if one day you said you wanted to withdraw all of it?

Under Western systems, it would immediately apply to the court for bankruptcy.

So let’s not even mention how this money was transferred out of Shen Zhou. No bank in the world would dare accept such a gigantic certificate of deposit, otherwise, there’s no need to painstakingly set up Heaven and Earth Bank globally.

Nowadays, average people get questioned by banks when depositing or withdrawing over 500 large bills; wealthy people face similar troubles.

The origins of average people’s money can generally be explained clearly, but a portion of wealthy people’s assets isn’t so clear.

Thus, to mitigate risks and legalize assets, one has to find ways to launder it and make it clean. Without mentioning the recent uproar over the "Dragon’s Descendants," how do the top echelon elite generally proceed?

Offshore companies, offshore trusts, local companies, local trusts; advanced operations often lack ostentation, dividing the assets into parts, they adopt such combinations to batch process unexplainable money. Opening one in the Cayman Islands, one in Singapore, one in the Virgin Islands, one locally in Australia, if one’s not enough, open two. Usually, one trust fund should cover day-to-day living. Whether it’s a Cullinan or a Ghost, car purchases would come from one fund’s regular dividends. And day-to-day expenses exceeding regular dividends wouldn’t be directly registered under natural person’s names.

The reason is simple.

It returns to an important economic topic.

How to avoid taxes.

No matter the country, the marginal cost of personal income tax is higher than for companies or trusts, plus every developed country has its own land and company registration system. If a natural person directly holds shares, land is directly registered, one faces being exposed.

This rationale should be easily understood by Shen Zhou people.

Can you put all the eggs in one basket?

Definitely not.

So.

In summary, this news is extremely absurd.

However,

Do the individuals or organizations fabricating this news lack basic logical thinking?

No.

On the contrary.

They are well-versed in journalism.

The essence of journalism isn’t the truthfulness of information, but rather what audiences want to hear, want to see.

billion Australian Dollars.

Can accurately hit the global audience’s G-spot.

whether it’s Shen Zhou people or foreigners, everyone is euphoric.

The ATM anchor impression of "Dragon’s Descendants" is deeply reinforced. With Westerners’ free system and their habit of not overly using their brains, surely more will take reckless actions.

At the same time.

It further exacerbates the resentment towards wealth and class contradictions within Shen Zhou.

People like Qing Gege, who possess enough knowledge reserve and don’t forget to think even when drinking, are ultimately few.

Thus.

What a marvelous public opinion war.

The great wisdom appears foolish.

"Half a century ago, it was claimed that the Japanese could buy up the world, now it’s us instead."

Fang Qing raised her glass, "Isn’t that thanks to you path leaders who made the world see Shen Zhou’s wealth and strength?"

The lawyer’s mouth is indeed formidable.

People not bright enough have no clue what she’s expressing.

Jiang Chen drank silently.

"Speaking of which, what level does Shen Zhou’s top wealthy’s combined wealth reach? Can it arm-wrestle the United States? Can it buy the world?"

Fang Qing suddenly asked with curiosity again.

Jiang Chen responded calmly, "You’ve had too much to drink."

Fang Qing sighed, "So it’s not enough, huh? Student Jiang Chen, you’ll have to keep working hard."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

"Is it solely my responsibility? The great national rejuvenation relies on all people in society, only when everyone’s well-off, not worrying about food and clothing, able to... like us, sitting on the terrace in the evening drinking a little wine, will we truly be strong."

What seem like ordinary things might be out of reach for some.

For instance, at this moment, deliverymen are rushing on bikes, workers are already asleep, needing to catch tomorrow’s earliest subway.

Fang Qing shook her head, "Utopia only exists in theoretical states."

"Just like pursuing justice, even if absolute justice can’t be achieved, we can try to get close to it."

Jiang Chen said lightly.

Fang Qing sighed.

"Turns out you’re still a poet, a romantic poet."

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, raising his hand to invite a toast.

"Seems you don’t know me well enough."

"Clink."

The two mugs collided crisply.

"Of course, we did lose contact for so many years, no less than you and Wu Yufei."

"How can you say that." Jiang Chen quickly said: "Although we weren’t at the same university, not in the same city, yet separated by distance close at heart. Like the moon in the sky, we may not often look at it, but it’s always there, always a part of life."

"Click."

Fang Qing’s brow and eyes bent into a smile, "What’s going on today? Feeling poetic?"

Jiang Chen sipped his wine, then contentedly exhaled, "This wine is quite strong."

Fang Qing laughed heartily.

At the back.

Living room.

Wu Yufei just finished her shower intending to continue their unfinished drinking session. As the host, she naturally had to join in completely, yet found someone filled her spot.

In cartoon slippers painted with red nail polish, her feet paused.

On the terrace.

Two people rumored to have been a couple since middle school were chatting happily, wearing matching pajamas, the scene was so harmonious, the atmosphere so beautiful.

Wu Yufei was momentarily entranced, even feeling the urge to capture it on her phone.

It’s not pretend indiference.

From the beginning, she was self-aware.

Look.

How could she compare?

"If you... I’ll look down on you!"

She said silently in her heart, her eyes filled with blessing, then quietly stepped back, leaving unnoticed.
