Chapter 384: Giant Crocodile
Steven is also a philanthropist, and his philanthropic foundation invests millions of euros in A Charity every year, and is a regular and large customer of A Charity. Steven demanded that the money must be used for judicial justice, for example, people who do not have the money to fight a lawsuit can ask A Charity for help, and this part of the donation belongs to Steven's special donation. Steven's philanthropy is different from other tycoons, others focus on education, health, the environment, and so on. Steven is closer to a political philanthropist.
The gentleman of City A is frank, no matter who can hire a lawyer, as long as the lawyer does not break the law, he can hype the case through the media and the Internet. The most typical case is that when the comprehensive urban management broke down an illegal building on the outskirts of the city, a major case of shooting and killing two people occurred. Dozens of lawyers across the country organized a group to help the sufferer fight the lawsuit for free, and the lawyer group fanned the flames on the Internet, causing netizens to fall to the sufferer, and foreign media also paid a lot of attention to this case.
In the end, the government won the case in court, on the grounds that the police concluded that the bitter owner tied up the gasoline bottles and held a lighter to prevent the demolition of the illegal building. The wife and father of the victim were armed and fought with the SWAT, causing one SWAT officer to be seriously injured, and the other SWAT pulled out a gun to defend himself, killing two people on the spot.
The court reasoned that the victim was guilty of endangering public safety at that time, and that once the fire was ignited, it would cause the fire to spread in the nearby shantytowns and self-built houses, and the large population in the urban-rural areas on the outskirts of the city would make it very dangerous. The Southern Police Department's approval of the operation was reasonable. After the special police have apprehended the person and presented the identity of the attacker to the police, he has been attacked and has the right to defend himself.
The lawyers' team was not satisfied with the verdict, and appealed at the same time as declaring that the police fabricated details, ignored the facts, and accused them of covering up, but the credibility of City A was not built, and ninety percent of the locals believed in the conclusions of the police and the court, which created a strange public opinion that the emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was in a hurry. In the end, the bitter master not only lost the case, but was also arrested and prosecuted for the crime of endangering public safety. In an interview, the prosecutor said that in the internal meeting of the judiciary and the government, it was believed that the sufferer had lost his father and wife, because he still had two children to raise, and there was no real harm caused, so he did not intend to prosecute the sufferer's behavior, but only carried out the punishment of 15 days of administrative detention. But when the matter came to the table, it could only be done on business, and in the end, the bitter master was imprisoned for ten years, and local netizens ridiculed this group of lawyers and the Steven Fund, which was completely harmful.
Steven came to City A this time because Charity A refused to run the Steven Fund again, and Charity A sent people to the United States to persuade Steven to use the money for education and the environment, and Steven had to hold talks with the city government and Charity A to fully understand the legal environment before making a decision.
A few million euros a year is not a lot of money for Steven, but he is known as a political philanthropist, so he came in person. Who would have thought that Steven was ostensibly a philanthropist, but in the mainland, he was the gannet director who wanted to use City A as a gannet bridgehead? Many people don't understand why those very rich people should do some bad things? Some people are pursuing achievement, and some people are eager to stop.
Advisor: "Steven is an investor and a risk controller, he knows exactly what he's doing, so to speak, and even if Gannets fall, Steven won't go to jail." Steven's special childhood experience made him a political philanthropist, and his charity was used to export American values and support opponents of the dictatorship. The most important thing is the goal, the goal and ideal of a person's life. Gannets are Steven's investment, and it can be said to be a very successful investment. ”
The advisor said: "Let me tell you a little secret, Steven is one of the members of the North American ghost group, and Steven's ideal is to build the order of the black world." "Most of the members of the ghost group do not consider themselves criminals, they claim to be the elite of society, and they have the right and obligation to arrange the development of the world according to their will and justice.
Advisor: "For Steven, gannets are just a project he has invested in, he has already made a huge profit from it, he may throw away the gannets one day, he will not give himself for the gannets, this is the difference between an investor and an entrepreneur." "Like ST stocks, ST stocks are warning stocks, which represent that the company has lost money for several consecutive years and is at risk of delisting. But this kind of stock is the favorite of many speculative stockholders, once it is launched, dozens of daily limits are not a problem. Steven is the one who bought ST shares, the company has grown, and the profits have been earned. When Steven doesn't feel like there's much room for investment, he walks out. He doesn't care if the stock is rotten or not, he cares if the stock can make money, he doesn't love this company at all, he only loves the benefits that this company can bring him.
The advisor said, "Gannets are temporarily abandoning City A, and the current target is Tokyo, and once it takes root, it will inevitably affect City A." This is a strategic shift in Steven's investment strategy. ”
Su Cheng said: "Actually, you don't need to say so much. ”
"Because something has happened recently, I think it's necessary to say so much, and most importantly, I want you to believe that we are not bad people, at least in the strict sense of the word, we are not bad people," the advisor said. And I also know that you are in love, and you have a considerable resistance to your work in your heart, I can understand, and your work performance is outstanding, basically achieving our strategic goals, and there are probably not many thieves in the remaining half a year, and you need to help us is to deal with the East Asian influence of gannets. The focus is on Tokyo, but it will also require your cooperation in many cases. ”
"My cooperation?"
"We've assessed your influence over the police and it's much higher than we thought. Even if you name an answer that is clearly wrong, there will be followers. A lot of times, we need this kind of blind obedience, because a lot of people don't understand something at the time or never, but they have to do it. "Let's say I need the help of City A's maritime department to cordon off the sea area and prevent a ship from passing through from Tokyo," the advisor said. If it is reported by ordinary anonymous people, it is impossible for the maritime department to mobilize resources, but if the alarm is raised in your capacity, I believe that the maritime department will be in a hurry. ”
Su Cheng said: "I really didn't expect that their trust in me is also one of the purposes of my work. ”
"Haha, okay, I'll just say hello to you first. The specific thief will be released tomorrow, targeting Madame Goethe. Strictly speaking, Mrs. Goethe has no criminal record and is not under the jurisdiction of the police, so I will think of a solution. Your goal is not to capture him, your goal is to recognize him. You have to understand that if you just ask the police to identify Mrs. Goethe, the police will not do it. ”
Su Cheng replied: "I understand, I just think you say too much, I don't like it, I always don't like to know too much." ”
"Maybe it's because I appreciate you, or maybe after you're done with this job, we have the opportunity to become colleagues. ”
"Absolutely no chance. ”
"Haha, don't talk too much, you believe you'll be interested. ”
"It means to make me more convinced that we're good people, right?"
"Haha, depending on how you understand it, the driver will give you a phone number, and Martin's group is temporarily under your control, and if you need to give them any orders directly. The advisor said, "Goodbye." ”
"Goodbye. ”
Su Cheng hung up the phone, the driver stretched out a note, it was an overseas phone number, and there was an extension transfer in the back, Su Cheng recited the number, returned the note to the driver, and the driver threw it in his mouth and swallowed it. After the two were silent for ten minutes, the taxi arrived at the Wulian community, Su Cheng gave the driver a hundred yuan, the driver looked for sixty, Su Cheng got change outside the car and left. During this period, there was no one-word conversation between the two from beginning to end.
……
"Steven, 71-year-old Chairman of Steven Fund Management and Chairman of Steven Charitable Fund Management, is a keen politician and fond of color-changing reforms, and has successfully changed the system of several countries. Public opinion believes that its main purpose is to export American ideology and values to the world, and it is a member of the top 50 richest people on the Forbes list. Zoro said: "We just received an alert from the 77th, Steven arrived in City A in the afternoon, and there was a bad guy in the entourage, the bad guy called himself Madame Goethe, and there were not too many cases to give us tips. According to Number 77, Madame Goethe went undercover with Steven's purpose in influencing Steven's judgment. Steven, the Wall Street tycoon, is influential in American politics. ”
Zorro continued: "According to the tip, Madame Goethe was by Steven's side five years ago, she was the gold medal undercover agent in the gannet, he was directly under the head of the gannet, he collected information, and the gannets were sold to customers who needed them. At the same time, because of the needs of the client, Mrs. Goethe misled Steven. We can't control anything politically, our target this time is Mrs. Goethe, and unlike the previous thieves, this time there is no violence, it is a war without gunpowder. Our minimum task criterion is to find out Madame Goethe, and the highest task criterion is, of course, to bring her to justice. ”
Fang Ling raised his hand: "Zoro, what Madame Goethe did has nothing to do with us. ”
Zoro said: "Yes, there is no direct relationship, and Steven and we have no business dealings. However, Steven has supported our A charity for ten years, and although he has a clear heart, to a certain extent, he has promoted the construction of government credibility and made considerable contributions to City A. We don't need to care too much, it only takes three days for Steven to come to City A, and we will have a difference if there is a breakthrough in three days. On the other hand, if we could find out Mrs. Goethe, Steven would most likely agree to use the philanthropic money for areas such as children, health, the environment, etc. ”
Su Cheng said: "While catching the bad guys, we can also help City A make money." Three million euros a year is a huge amount for many national charities. We learned from A Charity that Steven's purpose this time is to decide on charity funds. A charity has refused to use charitable funds for human rights legal aid because the law is sound, open and transparent. Within three days, Steven will decide whether to agree to divert the charity funds and whether to stop investing in charity. ”
Zoro said: "You must pay attention to safety, I will arrange the work." Fang Ling, you are responsible for receiving Steven as a police officer and for security reasons, and you have been his bodyguard for the past three days, with a special police team and four criminal police officers assigned to you. Bai Xue, you are in charge of the liaison work of the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau, and this case will be led by them. Song Kai, you look for as many clues as possible, as well as the details of Steven's twelve entourage. ”
Zuo Luo said: "We are doing our best in this case, I didn't want to take care of it, just hand it over to the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau." However, No. 77 is the informant of our seven groups, which has not been disclosed to the public, and No. 77 will provide us with new clues during this period. It's a holiday. Meeting. ”
Lu Ren asked, "What about me?"
"You...... Back office, sitting in the office, answering the phone, mopping the floor, cleaning glass, cleaning garbage. Fang Ling replied. Lu Yi smiled bitterly.
Everyone dispersed, and Zuo Luo asked Su Cheng, who was drinking black tea, "Did Xu Xuan's mother give you an ugly look?"
Su Cheng sighed and said, "Rescheduled, I rushed to the Middle East yesterday." ”
Zoro asked, "You didn't come back all night last night." ”
Su Cheng was miserable: "Xu Xuan's relatives are here." "That's right, last night was an opportunity given by God, when I arrived at Xu's house, Xu's mother left temporarily, leaving Su Cheng and Xu Xuan Zuguang for dinner, everything was perfect, and even Xu Xuan had given up resisting, but unfortunately......
No wonder he didn't have much energy, Zoro said, "Take a walk." ”
For a walk, I walked to the small park at the entrance of the Z department, because you can smoke there, and Zoro still likes to smoke and talk about cases. When the two arrived at the small park, they sat down on a chair, and Zoro asked: "Do you have any views on this case?" You have no constructive comments at today's meeting. ”
"I'm thinking about Steven. ”
"What do you think?"
"At his age this year, he has ended financial investment and is still playing charity, does it mean that he still has lofty ideals and pursuits in his heart?"
"Yes. ”
Su Cheng said: "You know the particularity of his charitable foundation, which shows that he has a clear goal. ”
"Yes. ”
"Regional, and even global influencers, successful people, have ideals...... Don't you feel like a member of a certain group?"
Zoro said: "Ghost group? Even if I know that he is a member of the ghost group, what can I do? It is not illegal to be a member of the ghost group. ”
Su Cheng changed the topic and asked, "Have you gone to see Jiang Wen?"
"Ah?...... No. "Is it necessary to go and see it?
Su Cheng said: "She has been sent to the detention center, I think if you can come forward to say hello, she will be treated much better inside." A high-profile star has become a prisoner, and I don't think the female prisoners will worship her, and more likely to bully her. ”
"Well, okay, then you go back to the group to help me keep an eye on it, and call me if you have something. From this it can be seen that Zoro was not interested in Madame Goethe. He didn't know the significance of Madame Goethe to the gannet, the meaning to Su Cheng and Su Cheng's boss, from a certain point of view, it can be said that the importance of the thief police to some people this time is more important than the previous sum, which can be confirmed from the attitude of the consultant and Su Cheng on the phone.
