Chapter 472: Trouble
The loss of two tall buildings in the United States is a small matter, and the mourning of the dead is being staged all over the United States, and some of the lucky ones who have survived have returned to normal life.
If the bosses don't think they're the right job for the job, they won't be fired because they've just been frightened.
What really matters is that the confidence of the American people has been hit, and it has a subtle impact on all aspects.
When Su Mu was idle and bored, he began to deduce, trying to understand how the official would respond in the next period of time and how he could benefit from it.
So, he used about $1.8 billion to start hoarding oil futures, and when Clinton announced the official use of force, Su Mu had a hunch that the price of oil would rise, because a group of oil tycoons had already begun to move.
Originally, Clinton began to feel that China's ultra-high development speed in recent years would be a threat, and the dispatch of most of the Pacific Fleet's warships to eastern Asia was so manipulated that the president diverted his attention, and recently even put forward the slogan "Terrorist attacks will be the biggest enemy of the United States in the 21 st century!" in public.
The previous president, Mr. George H.W. Bush, was questioned for starting the war, but this time President Clinton announced a similar decision, and there was much less resistance.
In recent times, the position of the vast majority of Americans is to take revenge, which has become the mainstream concept in society, and Su Mu always can't help but feel that they are being used to become "good guys" who help Wall Street, oil giants, and arms dealers open gold mines.
However, Su Mu is also taking advantage of the situation, knowing that he has not told anyone about his speculation, some things are thankless and easy to burn......
President Bill Clinton, who has always been known for his good temper, has rarely been tough, and shortly after the disaster, he said during a live broadcast: "An attack can shake the foundation of our largest building, but it does not shake the great strength of the United States, and an attack can destroy steel, but it cannot destroy the steely determination of our Americans!" We will take revenge and strike at all forces that dare to confront the United States!"
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, all the member states of the Soviet Union, without exception, were plunged into various crises, and now the United States is the only one, and it is busy interfering in the affairs of other countries everywhere, and this incident just gave them a reason.
The war really began, the international oil price was controlled, and it began to grow up slowly, Su Mu's heart was not dark, and when he found that he had made a profit of 25 percent, he hurriedly stopped, even if the oil price was still rising, he did not regret it.
He has a strong control over greed, and he understands in his heart that there are many ways to do this kind of speculative business, and if he doesn't run away after earning a wealth that satisfies him, is he waiting to be sheared?
There is talk about terrorist attacks everywhere, and even if the media catches some trivial news, it can attract a lot of attention, which stimulates those media people, so that they work harder to dig up exclusive news, and even Su Mu has not been let go, but unfortunately the vast majority of people are disappointed, and Su Mu is not willing to see them at all.
Bookstores have more books and names, some people who have survived the dead are starting to use it to make money, a Hollywood company has been inspired by a movie to honor the brave firefighters, and a film company is trying to make a spy movie.
However, the disaster has happened, so many people have died, as soon as the news came out, the boss of the company was immediately scolded bloody, and people have a deep grudge against the official investigative organization, scolding them for taking taxpayers' money but not doing anything, so it was spread that the White House tried to plan a new department to be responsible for such incidents, and even the name was determined, called the Homeland Security Agency, which has a wider jurisdiction than the CIA and the FBI.
Originally, Su Mu was watching the excitement, holding the idea of staying out of the matter, and did not intervene too much.
It's a pity that the trouble found him on its own.
In late June, the newly appointed deputy director of the Homeland Security Agency, a guy named Spike, came to Qian Helberg's office.
This guy probably has some problems in his head, the whole department has just been formed, and he actually directly found the Bee Group, wanting to use it for surgery, and said arrogantly: "Now the United States is in chaos, as an American company, you have a responsibility to jointly maintain public safety, I know that you have rejected the CIA, rejected the FBI, and have been unwilling to hand over user data."
Your company has the information of tens of millions of U.S. citizens, and getting it out of regulation is a dangerous sign, and we have the power to get out of this situation and get everything back on the right path. ”
"Oh, what do you think you are entitled to take from our company?
You say it's a threat, but I don't think so, otherwise you call our company's users one by one, and as long as they agree, I will absolutely obey the orders of this bullshit DHS, and you, the bullshit deputy director, and hand over the user information to you. ”
Herberg is not a hairy boy who has never seen the world, if he is threatened by the other party with a few words, he obediently submits, it will not become a joke.
Mr. Spike is not very old, he looks like he is only in his thirties, maybe his head is not bright enough, and he dares to be an arrow with a chicken feather.
After hearing this, he actually laughed, and had no intention of continuing to talk, stood up and walked out, Spike just walked to the door of his office, turned around and added, "Give you a day to think about it, or if you encounter something then, don't blame me for not warning you in advance." ”
"Get out of my office. Herberg said that he could not negotiate the other party's request, and handing over user privacy was tantamount to digging up the company's hard-earned reputation and user base.
A newly appointed deputy director, Herberg didn't take Spike seriously, and after lying on the chair and pondering for a while, he still called Su Mu to tell him what had happened.
At this time.
Su Mu asked Helberg over the phone, "Listen to that, it seems to have grasped the handle related to our company?"
"Maybe it's really possible, there are so many people who come to my company, it's the first time I've seen you so rampantly, you know a lot of people, or you should ask? Security is important, the situation has been very tense lately, I feel that someone is using the crisis to strengthen the control of those politicians over the United States, maybe they want to be the second Hoover. ”
"Haha! You think too much, you can probably guess something, maybe there are different interest groups, start to compete, thank you for reminding us, we really have to be careful......"
