Chapter 928: The Biggest Loophole?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the New Year, Su Yang’s move posed an effective threat to Draenor. He also threatened and suppressed the emerging capital forces behind Draenor.

Draenor was not hanging around idle either.

After all, he was no fool, which could be seen by how he was able to win such a heavyweight election.

Even if he did behave like a fool, he was at most acting like one, but would be secretly fighting for his own benefits.

Pretending to be a fool was just a tactic, while benefits were the core.

So, after the conference ended, Draenor started his counterattack.

His first step was to reach a compromise with Wall Street’s capital. With the temporary support of the capital, he returned the favor and abolished a major measure to counteract America’s capital: inheritance tax..

In mid-March, Draenor signed the CEO’s order to officially abolish the inheritance tax. From then on, the descendants of American capitalists would no longer have to pay a large amount of tax to inherit their inheritance.

The effort disappointed those who supported Draenor.

But the second step that Draenor took immediately quelled the overwhelming resentment.

In late March, Draenor struck again, not only reducing the national personal income tax rate from 7% to 3%, but also doubling the amount exempted.

According to media calculations, this move could save nearly 80% of the tax on ordinary people.

The public’s anger quickly subsided after receiving such a huge amount of benefits.

At once, from top to bottom, Draenor received unanimous support. This also increased his authority in the country.

After all, no matter who it was, it was all about practical benefits.

Now that Draenor was the president of the country, even if someone scolded him a thousand times, he would still be the president.

If he could bring practical benefits to everyone, then they would just endure him.

Therefore, after gaining the support of the entire country, Draenor started to retaliate against Su Yang.

Firstly, he established the Financial Stability Regulatory Commission to prevent Su Yang from creating trouble in America with his huge cash capital. He was responsible for monitoring and dealing with systemic risks that threatened the country’s financial stability.

The Commission has the right to determine which financial firms may have systematic shocks to the market, and thus to impose stricter regulatory requirements on capital and liquidity.

With this move, Su Yang’s huge amount of USD could not dare to enter the American market.

After all, with this regulatory meeting, Su Yang’s assets in America could be legally frozen with just an investigation.

If Su Yang’s funds were frozen while he was carrying out some important plans, it might lead to the collapse of Jiadian Group.

Following that, Draenor issued an order to restrict bank proprietary trading and risky derivatives trading. To prevent Su Yang from colluding with Wall Street and using hedge funds and private equity funds as a cover, Draenor blocked Su Yang’s passage into America.

After protecting himself for a while, Draenor started to target Su Yang’s plan in Central Asia.

In order to deal with the intercontinental missile Su Yang had developed, he announced that America would also form a space army. This army would be independent of other military types and would become America’s sixth army.

At a press conference, Draenor said that he had high hopes for the military.

He believed that they will organize, train, and equip space armies with the ability to fight with next generation equipment, strengthening America’s ability to compete, contain, and win in increasingly competitive space.

In terms of authority, he had also given the space army a wide berth.

The space army would integrate various military forces, enabling superior space capabilities such as communications, intelligence, navigation, and early monitoring and early warning to ensure that America had unrestricted access to space and freedom of movement.

It was obvious that this army was targeted at Su Yang.

In addition to that, Draenor also wanted to prevent Su Yang from affecting the foundation of America’s hegemony: oil. Therefore, after receiving some secret intelligence support, he launched the “American First Energy Plan”.

The goal of this plan is to maximize the use of homegrown American energy, to escape dependence on imported energy, and to increase domestic employment opportunities and promote domestic real economic development.

One of the core principles of the program’s practice is its strong support for traditional fossil-energy industries, such as oil, gas, and coal.

In addition, on several occasions, he has publicly stated that oil is the core of American energy independence, that he will abolish the restrictions imposed by the previous president on oil extraction, stop regulating the industry, and increase the extraction of oil and gas resources.

America had a large share of world oil exports. After Draenor fully supported the industry, they had a thriving development…

With a few moves from Draenor, America actually began to thrive.

…

At the same time, Su Yang was sitting behind a desk in the president’s office at Jiadian Group in Shanghai. He was talking to Zhao Licheng, the Clown Sea Serpent, and his team.

“This is earlier than I expected.” Su Yang recalled the destiny lines America had and compared them to confirm his thoughts.

“Obviously, our actions have sped up Draenor’s movements.”

After hearing what Su Yang said, Zhao Licheng glanced at Old Ma. “Mr. Su, Draenor’s response is indeed a little too fast. I think he has someone stronger backing him.

“However, I feel like this is actually our chance.”

Su Yang was playing with a pen as he looked at Zhao Licheng.

Zhao Licheng said confidently, “Draenor’s actions have indeed dealt with us as a threat, but it has also accelerated his demise.

“He did not receive the approval of most of the capitalists. His position is already unstable to begin with, and now that he’s in a rush for quick success, there are many loopholes in his plan.

“We can very well deal with him using these loopholes.”

Su Yang closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Finally, he opened his eyes and shook his head. “It’s not time yet.

“His plan does have many loopholes because of how much he was in a hurry to implement it.

“In fact, he’s even revealed a huge flaw.

“But, now is not the time to attack yet.”

At the thought of the destiny line that he had once seen, Su Yang felt more at ease.

He knocked on the table and said, “We shouldn’t act rashly now. Let’s just wait and see.”

Then, Su Yang turned to the little monster who was a five-star economist and said, “I want you to do a report on the current economic situation in America and find out their problems. Also… Organize a team to research what we should do to trigger their problems.”

When they heard what Su Yang said, the few little monsters were shocked.

On the other hand, Su Yang stood up and waved his hand. “Fireworks must bloom at the most glorious moment. Only then will it be beautiful.

“I need a grand party to bury this world’s overlord.”

Then, Su Yang looked at his watch and said, “I still have something to attend to. You guys can continue the discussion on your own.”

Su Yang stood up and left the office.

When he was about to leave, he stopped and turned to look at the Clown Sea Serpent in the corner. He said, “Keep an eye on Central Asia and OPEC. Don’t let them talk too much about the oil development in America.

“Only when conflicts accumulate can they explode.”

The Clown Sea Serpent hurriedly stood up and said, “Yes, Master.”

Su Yang nodded and left the room, leaving the little monsters in deep thought. Slowly, their eyes lit up as they understood what Su Yang meant.

In fact, because they were more or less aware of the changes in America’s destiny line, they immediately gathered together to discuss Su Yang’s plan.

While they were discussing the plan, Zhao Licheng even consoled Old Ma. “Old Ma, even though the goal of this plan has not been achieved, intensifying the conflict in fact.”

“But, it caused the other party to rush for instant benefits, exposing his fatal weakness. Based on this, the plan could be considered to have been completed perfectly.”

Old Ma gave an embarrassed smile and sighed. “I’m getting a little too old now. I can’t keep up with the thoughts of you youngsters nowadays.

“These foreigners are really radical…”

Even though the plan did not work, it not only dealt a blow to Draenor, but also caused him trouble. It also exposed a fatal problem during Draenor’s counterattack, so what he did during the New Year was not useless.

Coupled with the scenes of the future that Su Yang had seen, Su Yang’s side could set up their plans.

In fact, one could even say that their hard work and efforts had not brought them the fruits of labor they expected…

All that was left to do was to wait patiently.

…

After dealing with Draenor’s counterattack, Su Yang quickly left the Jiadian Group’s building. By then, Pan Zhaodi was already waiting outside in her car.

Su Yang got into the car and closed the door.

Pan Zhaodi turned around and asked coldly, “Mr. Su, where would you like to go now?”

Su Yang replied, “Let’s go to… Shanghai Primary School.”

Pan Zhaodi acknowledged and opened the car’s GPS.

From the map came Little Tuantuan’s piercing voice, “Hello everyone! We’re going to take off now!”

Su Yang sat in the back row.

‘Since when has Sister Zhaodi used such a strange voice? It doesn’t match her temperament at all.’

Through the rearview mirror, Su Yang took a glance at Pan Zhaodi’s face. Pan Zhaodi, who was driving, still had no expression on her face. She looked like she had facial paralysis.

But with Little Tuantuan’s funny voice, for some reason, there was a strange sense of humor…

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Su Yang asked, “Sister Zhaodi, how have you been these two years?”

Pan Zhaodi’s face was meticulous as she said seriously, “Very good.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Sigh, why do I feel like I’m the one who’s working for Sister Zhaodi?’

‘Fine, forget it. I won’t chat anymore.’

Su Yang closed his eyes and stopped talking.

After driving for a while, Pan Zhaodi took the initiative to say, “You gave me a lot of salary, so I saved it all. Then, I sent some money to my family, and I paid the downpayment to buy a house.”

In the past two years, as the person closest to her in the company, Su Yang had increased Pan Zhaodi’s salary several times. Now, with the bonus and salary, Pan Zhaodi could earn more than a million yuan a year.

She was truly considered to be a high-end talent.

In addition, Jiadian Group was now a big company, and there were talents that could be introduced into the team, so it was normal for Pan Zhaodi to buy a house.

Based on the amount of money the company had given her, she probably did not even need to pay back much of her mortgage.

Su Yang nodded and said, “Do you need a vacation? Do you have to work on something?”

Pan Zhaodi glanced at the rearview mirror and shook her head. “No need. My younger brother will help me look after the renovations.”

‘Pan Zhaodi’s younger brother?’

Su Yang searched through his memories and found the man who had followed him and got beaten up because Su Yang thought he was a villain.

In their short time together, Su Yang had a good impression of him.

‘He cares a lot about his sister, and he’s not like his parents.’

At the thought of Pan Zhaodi’s parents, Su Yang asked again, “How are your parents now?”

Pan Zhaodi did not seem to mind as she said, “They’re used to it. Plus I’d give them some money on Chinese New Year, plus they know I’m your…”

She paused for less than a second. “Driver, so they dare not force me anymore.”

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Su Yang hoped that the people around him could live better than before.

Soon, Pan Zhaodi sent Su Yang to Shanghai Primary School as they continued to chat like that.

When he reached the school gate, Tang Xiaomi was already waiting there.

After being busy about Draenor’s matters for half of the day, Su Yang felt that he should settle Tang Jing’s matter.

Therefore, he had sent a message to Tang Xiaomi yesterday, asking her to meet him at noon.

He asked Tang Xiaomi and the teacher to take an early leave and then picked her up for dinner.

The car stopped beside Tang Xiaomi. Su Yang lowered the window and waved at her.

Tang Xiaomi smiled sweetly and called out, “Brother Su Yang!”

Su Yang was not used to Tang Xiaomi’s obedience that day.

‘Has she ever called me brother ever since we met?

‘I don’t think so?

‘Why has she suddenly changed her attitude towards me today?’

At that thought, Su Yang took another look and realized that there was a female teacher standing beside Tang Xiaomi.

‘Looks like this little girl’s putting on a show in front of her teacher.’

Su Yang looked around. Perhaps it was because children usually ate in school, so there was no one at the school entrance in the afternoon. Su Yang got off the car and walked over. He greeted the teacher. “Hello, I’m here to pick Xiaomi up for lunch.”

When the female teacher heard Tang Xiaomi call Su Yang, she did not think much of it. She thought that it was someone with the same name.

However, when Su Yang alighted from the car, the teacher was shocked to discover that it was really Su Yang!

Ever since he became the richest man in the country, even the world, Su Yang had become famous. Be it the government or the entertainment news, they were all promoting him.

Hence, Su Yang’s appearance had already been imprinted into the hearts of most people.

Plus, Su Yang did not wear sunglasses or a mask that day, so he was recognized immediately.

The teacher was shocked. “You… You’re really Su Yang?”
