Chapter 554: It's Completely Reasonable to Only Have One Coincidence Occurring
Commissioner Lucas was in a quandary in the face of Robert's clarification, but he still did his duty as a gambler on the other side.
Just like in the United States, even if a lawyer knows that his client has committed a crime, you still have to do your best to defend him and feel that this is upholding the sanctity of the law.
"However, don't you need to review why the Monegasque people owe Gu Biao such a secret, inexplicable favor?
Under normal circumstances, if the royal family of a small European country wants to issue a special license to a foreign-funded businessman, isn't that the same as the Elizabethan queen who issued a privateer license to pirates?
How can it be the same as Gu Wei, 'because the special license granted to him by the royal family cannot actually operate for the time being, but the royal family has to spend time thinking of ways to create additional conditions to help him fulfill the license business environment?' This is unreasonable, if this is not possible at all, the coordination committee can only think that your side is derelict in its duties. β
Commissioner Lucas raised several doubts in a row.
However, it has to be said that Robert's subordinates are very comprehensive, and these possible problems have been covered in the previous investigation and even in the temporary additional collection just now.
It didn't take Robert two minutes to pick out a piece of evidence.
This is a good explanation for the important favor that Gu Biao has secretly owed to the Monegasque royal family, which is to help the Monegasques break through the French land reclamation review, including the environmental impact assessment and other reasons. β
Ordinary people who eat melons don't know about this. In the eyes of the world, even if they noticed that Monaco had received benefits from the French a few months ago, they would only think that the Monegasques had worked their own.
However, the agents and analysts on Robert's side are obviously not comparable to the people who eat melons. Therefore, they can further investigate Gu Biao's contribution and favor in helping the Monaco royal family get the reclamation rights deal.
Commissioner Lucas's pupils instantly zoomed: "The Monaco royal family was able to get the reclamation right from the French, isn't it because the French and Bretons were playing games because of the 'Leboult' scandal and other surrounding games, so the French marine environmental protection academic community had to adopt an academic attitude of working against the Brittans, so they gave the Monegasques a ride?"
What can Gu Biao do in this matter? Could he still be able to spy on the French's intelligence on the 'Lebbo' in advance? If this is the case, we must even wonder if there is a terrible source of information behind Gu Biao!"
In the face of this question, Robert didn't dare to ask for it immediately, but asked his subordinates to cross-examine it in detail before he came to a conclusion: "Judging from our investigation, Gu Biao did not know the actions of the French in advance, which is also impossible.
But considering that in March and April this year, he had a game with the Brittans in Xiangjiang, over land reclamation rights and environmental impact assessments. So it can't be ruled out that he happened to do his homework and then waited for an opportunity to reuse, and the response was particularly fast. β
To explain in layman's terms, the meaning of Robert's words just now is
"Gu Biao is like a student who was going to prepare for another on-campus English exam, so he reviewed a lot of English courses and knowledge in advance. As a result, he had just finished the Bachelor 8 exam, and there was an accident in this year's exam arrangement, which happened to allow him to apply for another TOEFL IELTS or GRE, so he took the test while it was hot."
People prepared for the previous exam and repeated, but after the exam, God gave him another exam of the same subject, this kind of thing can only be said to be too lucky, no one can blame.
"Then he relied on the Xiangji project to defraud the land and the reclamation and development rights in Xiangjiang, can't it be a deeper conspiracy to lay out in advance? Zhang Zhongmou, president of Xiangji, isn't it Texas Instruments who resigned and returned to Asia?" Lucas really couldn't think of any other way to plant the, so he racked his brains to think like this.
Regarding this question, Robert shook his head very simply and decisively: "But the cooperation between Zhang Zhongmou and Gu Biao is not like Gu Biao arranged the timing in advance - I might as well tell you that we found out that Gu Biao and Peterson's former businessman's Blackstone Investment Fund have a certain amount of entrustment, and the Blackstone Fund has indeed invested in Texas Instruments and holds a considerable amount of shares."
However, there is no problem with Blackstone's investment in Texas Instruments, first, they do not interfere with the operation, they only support John Shaber, CEO of Texas Instruments, and all strategic adjustment decisions are made by John Shaber, which is also in line with John Shaber's previous consistent business style and philosophy.
Secondly, the Blackstone Fund's equity investment in Texas Instruments is obviously profitable, and there is an essential difference between losing money and destroying it - Texas Instruments' stock price has nearly doubled compared with last year a year after John Shaber's rectification. The funds of the Blackstone Fund seem to have a trend of shipping and cashing out since the second quarter of this year, but that is also a big profit, which is the persistence after the release of normal high-level positive pressure.
We can't find out how much of Gu's investment in the Blackstone Fund is. We only know that Blackstone's investment in Texas Instruments involves at least $500 million in funds, and when it is shipped, it is generally shipped at a position where the price has jumped more than 60% compared with last year's price - this is the purest for money. β
The case records of fund investment were spread out by Robert's subordinates and said that they had withstood everyone's test.
In fact, these data are still a bit conservative, after all, no matter how awesome they are, they can't find the most authentic information first-hand. There are always some leftovers that are well camouflaged and evade the surveillance of incoming and outgoing shipments.
In fact, last year, Gu Biao invested a total of $800 million in equity capital for Texas Instruments through Peterson and Schwartzman - any more, there would be no other Texas Instruments stocks in the market at that time, and there were no major sellers.
Since the shipment began in the second quarter of this year, by the end of the third quarter, when Gu Biao was checked by Robert and Lucas, in the small half year of the shipment cycle, Peterson has helped Gu Biao sell about 75% of the total share capital.
Because John Schaper's decision to cut some R&D departments and product lines has increased Texas Instruments' book gross margin by as much as three times, even if the turnover growth is not much, the comprehensive stock price at the time of shipment has nearly doubled compared with the increase in positions.
In a word, the $800 million that Gu Biao originally invested in Texas Instruments has now been resold with 600 million and has become 10~1.1 billion. There are still 200 million still there, but the book market value is already 3.5 billion.
In other words, given a few more months, by the end of '85, Peterson will help the bureau sell out the shares of Texas Instruments, and then Gu's 800 million will become $1.5 billion.
Don't think it's easy to make money with this trick, after all, in the circle of the U.S. stock market in 85, junk bonds, hostile takeovers, and then cut projects to pull profit margins to an inflated ...... None of these tricks have been used before. The invention of a new and despicable investment fraud method in this field, which ordinary people cannot see its "madness" nature, is certainly worth so much benefit.
β¦β¦
Although the people of ClA do not have the fullest, most detailed data. However, just what has been disclosed so far, and putting it in front of Commissioner Lucas, is enough to explain the problem.
Those who sabotage technology companies and poach talent by stealing technology often do so regardless of the cost.
This kind of thing happened a lot during the Cold War - for example, the Lucians, when they wanted to instigate the backbone of certain American technology companies and steal technology, their methods were very clumsy, and they often failed to calculate the loss of money.
Such enemies, the people of the CIA, and even Robert himself, have dealt with them several times over the years.
Therefore, if you want to say that Gu Biao is crazy about making black money, and at the same time divides the technology masters, you want Robert to believe that he is unwilling.
If there was such a person, why couldn't the Lucia people do it back then? Could it be that Gu Biao's IQ was higher than the collective wisdom of the entire Ke Ge Bo twisted up?
Anyone who says such things and makes such assumptions is insulting ClA's abilities!
Robert finally concluded: "Moreover, there is another circumstantial evidence to prove that Gu Biao poached Zhang Zhongmou on an improvised basisβwe have intercepted the telegram that Zhang Zhongmou later complained that Gu Biao used his popularity to deceive." There are various indications that after Gu Biao invested in the so-called Xiangjidian, he was not in a hurry to promote the industry. He mainly paints a pie and then cheats the land, or wants to make money in real estate!
From this point of view, Zhang Zhongmou left, Gu Biao took advantage of Zhang Zhongmou's prestige, Gu Biao got the Bretanian reclamation approval right, the Monegasque got the French reclamation approval right, and the Monegasque people owed the right to operate the business license after they got it, but they could not fulfill their promise to Gu Biao for several years because of the lack of land...... In this, there is no problem with each link, and there is no coincidence in every link.
The only coincidence is that after the end of the reclamation game between Gu Biao and the Bretons, within a few months, the French made a fuss about the 'Lebber' and had to confront the Bretons on some environmental issues, so that Gu Biao 'coped with two exams in one review'.
And in such a large chain of cause and effect, there is only one place where there is a coincidence, which is completely acceptable from the perspective of information science. There is even a lottery win, not to mention that it is just a coincidence. Only two coincidences came together, and then it was not a coincidence. According to our work instructions, that is what must be strictly checked. β
A coincidence is a real coincidence, and there is nothing wrong with that.
"Well, our coordinating committee preliminarily accepts this conclusion. "Commissioner Lucas has done his last bit of his part, and he feels that he has done his duty. No matter what happens in the future, no one can blame him for not doing his job.
"Then please approve these two procedures first. The manager of Newport News, Rawls, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent away a money-losing item that the Navy Uncle had thrown away,
"This deal is already very favorable, you have approved these two procedures, we can first carry out the power modification, and then we can deliver the ship on time." β
Commissioner Lucas finally added a wary question: "Is the power system still the original aircraft carrier power?"
Manager Rawls shrugged: "The aircraft carrier turbine has already been dismantled! This is a scrapped ship that has been waiting to be sold for scrap iron! Fortunately, the customer is really used to run the gambling industry, and there is no requirement for the speed at all, just be able to drive it." It's just that the diesel engine can only be opened for 12 sections, and they all admit it, and they think it's fuel-efficient. β
"Even the diesel engine agreed? Does that seem like I'm really worried about it......" Commissioner Lucas felt that he was really nervous, and he was embarrassed.
What an easy customer to serve.
