Thanks to the explosion of knowledge in the information age and the blessing of Song Hongbing's masterpiece, the name of the Federal Reserve, Evan, naturally knows it.

Created on December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve was the product of Congress's attempt to take control of the monetary system to alleviate the financial crisis after a series of financial panics (especially the 1907 financial crisis) and was a special central bank responsible for formulating and implementing monetary policy in the United States.

The Fed consists of a seven-member board of governors and twelve regional reserve banks. The Board of Governors is appointed by the President, and the 12 Reserve Banks administer all the banks of the country.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), made up of board members and twelve reserve bank governors, is responsible for setting monetary policy. However, only five of the 12 governors have the right to vote, with the president of the New York area holding one vote.

In Mr. Song's book, the Fed is described as an instrument for American bankers and conglomerates to control the United States.

As for the actual situation, of course, Evan in the previous life didn't know whether it was true or not, but in this life he had the opportunity to explore one or two.

Evan was really shocked that Linda had such an uncle who could be said to be at the top of the financial world.

Because the Reserve Bank of New York is the most powerful of the twelve regional reserve banks, this is evident from its position in the Federal Open Market Committee.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Evan was in a daze after taking the note, Earl asked with a smile, "Do you regret not accepting Linda?"

Evan came back to his senses, gave Mr. Governor a blank look, and said, "How is it possible!"

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the office building of the factory of Moqi Company, the large conference room.

Under Albert's personal leadership, several lawyers at Barton Law Firm took over the commission of the Magic Seven Company and took care of all its legal affairs. However, this time, Barton was not the only law firm in the legal team of the Magic Seven Company, and under Albert's guidance, one firm in New York and one in Chicago also accepted the contract of the Magic Seven Company and joined the legal team.

At present, the collection of evidence has been almost completed, the indictment has been submitted, and the lawyers will be assigned to a number of courts in different regions to wait for the case to be heard.

Generally speaking, this kind of patent infringement case needs to go through a lengthy trial and multiple rounds of court confrontation from the beginning to the conclusion. If you want to win the lawsuit, in addition to irrefutable evidence, the fight is whose lawyer team is stronger and whose wallet is thicker.

Today, before the team of lawyers departed, Evan made a point to return and meet with them in the large conference room. Evan also brought champagne to serve them.

"Uncle Albert, you're in trouble over there in New York!"

Evan and Albert's right hands were clasped tightly.

Albert stretched out his left hand and patted Evan's shoulder and said, "Evan, don't worry, we will win the case beautifully." ”

"Otherwise, I'm sorry for these wines, but unfortunately you're not old yet...... Haha!"

After Albert made a small joke, Masase said, "Evan, I'll tell you a piece of good news first, so that you can relax." ”

"The New York court has granted our 'temporary injunction' that requires all stores throughout New York State to remove the Rubik's Cube imitation from their shelves. So that at least sales in the New York area can be preserved. ”

"Really?" Evan was surprised, "That's great, Uncle Albert, you're amazing." ”

Albert smiled: "Although I would love to take the credit for this, unfortunately, it is not us who are the greatest. ”

"This is the handiwork of our partner, CWT Law Firm. ”

"Is that so?" Evan asked curiously, "Where are they?"

"They're a long-established firm in the New York area, with over 100 years of history," Albert said. It is not difficult for them to do this as the head of the land. ”

Evan nodded and said, "I see, but in the end, Uncle Albert is still very powerful, without you, we may not be able to find such a powerful collaborator." ”

Albert smiled at Evan's compliment, but he didn't dare to laugh completely. Albert knew very well that he was able to recruit so many strong players to join the lawyer team so quickly, and it was not entirely his own ability.

They are likely to see not themselves, but the people behind them.

Even so, Albert was a bit surprised by CWT's arrival.

With the commission price and background offered by the Demon Seven Company, they shouldn't have much interest......

After a while, Evan came up to Vidak and toasted him with juice: "The people of Aegis have done a good job in this operation!"

Vidak is a big man, but he is a little shy in return: "Thank you, Evan!"

Evan added: "Raymond and Haynes are not here this time, praise them for me, and say that they will be given a bonus in the middle of the year." ”

Since Isla and the others took over the task of protecting Virginia and Audrey, Raymond and Haynes have joined the investigation team, and Albert and they have a share of the credit for filing the lawsuit so quickly.

Vidak nodded, indicating that he would convey it.

Then, as if remembering something, Vidak hesitated for a moment before saying to Evan, "Evan, can you find a quiet place?"

Ewen Bai Vidak had something secret to report, so he nodded.

The two of them left the large conference room and went to their office without a nameplate.

After Evan sat down, he gestured, "Say it!"

Vidak whispered: "The surveillance team reported that James sold the Beverly Hills estate and took the money to New York, did nothing but meet a few friends, and that he boarded a cruise ship to Europe last night." ”

Evan was silent for a moment before commanding, "In that case, withdraw this group." ”

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and after it was over, Evan left the factory first.

Evan's car had just driven out of the factory gate a few meters, and Evan, who was sitting in the back seat and looking out the window, suddenly saw a familiar figure walking on the cement road outside the factory.

"Wait, Bob, get the car back. ”

With Evan's command, the Ford made a 180-degree turn under Bob's control, and then drove back slowly.

Although the speed of the car was not fast, it was much faster than a human walking, and in less than ten seconds, the car caught up with the man walking on the side of the road.

The car stopped a few meters in front of the man, and Evan opened the door and stepped out of the car.

"Hi Rona Anderson, long time no see!"

Evan beckoned to the man, a smile of surprise on his face.

That's right, this man is the engineer who was sent to Moqi by United Carbon last year to help them complete the debugging of plastic process parameters.

For this great hero of the Demon Seven Company, Evan once remembered it. But as time passed, Evan had already put it down, but as soon as he saw someone today, he immediately remembered it.

Seeing Evan, Rona also had a surprised expression, but then a little embarrassment.

"Hello, Evan, long time no see!"

Ronner's smile was a little forced, but Evan ignored it, and he asked enthusiastically: "How are you doing? Is it a business trip to Sacramento? Are you still happy to work at Union Carbon? Do you want to think about the proposal to move to me, I'm serious, how about it?"

"Yes! I agreed!"

"Hmm...... What a pity...... Huh?" Evan said before he felt something was wrong, and asked, "What did you say?"

Rona repeated with a stiff expression, "I mean, I'm going to jump ship......"

Seeing Evan's look of disbelief, Ron asked, "What, are you kidding?"

"It's really ......"

Saying that, Rona turned to leave with a depressed face.

Evan quickly controlled his expression, grabbed Ronna, and said, "Don't go, I'm really not joking, it's just that I was used to being rejected before, and I didn't react for a while." ”

"Come on, come on, get in the car, let's find a place to talk. ”

A few minutes later, in a restaurant in North Sacramento, Evan and Rona sat across from each other.

There was a drink in front of each of them, Evan for Coke and Rhon for plain water.

Evan looked at Ron with interest and asked, "Tell me, didn't you say before that you wouldn't work under me even if you sold yourself to a demon?"

Rona took a sip of water, sighed, and said, "You are to blame for all this......"

"Poof......

As soon as he heard the beginning of this resentful woman, Evan, who was drinking Coke, couldn't hold back and squirted out.

Fortunately, he didn't spray at the opposite side, otherwise, Rona would probably have to change his mind again.

Evan wiped the corners of his mouth, and then asked curiously, "Ronna, does this have anything to do with me? ”

"I'm absolutely innocent. ”

"Alas......" Rona couldn't help but sigh again, and after glancing at Evan with unladylike eyes, he explained: "Evan, I really didn't talk nonsense, I really have to blame you." ”

"Since I worked with you for less than half a year, I was provoked and ravaged by your strict requirements, and when I returned to Union Carbon, I found that I had the same problem as you. ”

"I became a desire to be perfect in everything I did, like I suddenly had obsessive-compulsive disorder. ”

"This problem made me less and less able to work with others, and I had a few hiccups because of it. ”

"Later, the work became more and more unsatisfactory because of this, and I quit at the beginning of the year in a fit of rage. ”

"Recently, I have figured out that the problem is not me, but the working atmosphere of United Carbon cannot accommodate people like me. ”

"And the source that made me like this is you, Evan!"

"So, I'm coming to Sacramento!"

After listening to Ronna's story, Evan understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Ronna, if I were the chairman of United Carbon, I would definitely regret letting you go." ”

"Still, Ronna, you won't regret joining the Magic Seven. ”
