Chapter 684: Cat and Mouse
The call was made by Executive Anthony. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He is currently working at Han's Motor Company in the UK, where he is responsible for integrating the research and development teams of Aston Martin and Maserati.
Han Xuan didn't dare to tell him about the Maldives from the satellite communication channel he rented from Wilson Telecom, and in this era, phone calls can easily be spied on.
Documents provided by Snowden in the future revealed that the telecommunications giant AT&T had been assisting the NSA's large-scale network and telecommunications surveillance activities for more than 20 years, including other telecom operators.
As one of the important families in the United States, Han Xuan feels that he can barely be on the watch list, which is not something to be happy about.
The old man reminded him a few months ago that he should be careful when calling in the future, and don't say important things on the phone, maybe he has already discovered something.
The commercial satellites that will be purchased from Germany will have independent communication channels, and it will only then be possible to avoid the US government's surveillance, although the price of the satellites is higher than that of buying them in the United States, but it is better to be safe.
This is not Han Xuan's suspicion, and now the US government is indeed listening to the content of the phone calls of important people around the world.
In the future, in the era of the full Internet, they will intensify their efforts and reach out to the top levels of governments around the world, as well as ordinary people, and the right to privacy stipulated in the constitution will become a dead letter.
Just now, Anthony told him that he had used more than $1.73 billion in Han Xuan's Huamei bank account to short the Japanese stock market in more than 10 of the world's largest financial management institutions.
Even Citigroup, Morgan, Goldman Sachs and other companies can't eat this money, and after using leverage to amplify, the scale of funds for shorting the Japanese stock market has reached 23.5 billion US dollars!
In the past week, the capital of $23.5 billion has shrunk to more than $22.7 billion as the Japanese stock market has risen.
In other words, if it is delivered now, about half of the more than 1.7 billion US dollars invested by Han Xuan will evaporate.
This worries Anthony.
He asked people, but he did not find any signs of turmoil at the top of Japan.
Today is January 16, 1995.
Human society may have a butterfly effect that is different from the previous life because of Han Xuan.
But the earth itself will not, his personal impact on the earth is so weak that it is almost imperceptible, if memory serves, there should be an earthquake in Hanshin in the past two days.
Han Xuan sent Anthony away again, leaving him alone and continuing to fulfill his original contract......
The first batch of customers who bought things on GG Shopping Network have already received the goods sent from the SOS logistics center, and the second and third batches have also been delivered to customers one after another.
After discovering this novel business transaction model, the U.S. credit rating agency gave an estimated market value to Gossip-Girl, a subsidiary of HOPE Technology, for the first time, reaching an astonishing $450 million!
At present, there are only more than 90,000 users who have experienced online shopping on GG Shopping Network, which shows how optimistic they are about the company's future development prospects, even exceeding the valuation of WOW chat software and Destiny Browser when they first came out.
The side also shows that the market is very interested in technology stocks, and it has reached the point of madness, and a company prototype can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is the prelude to the future Internet industry bubble.
Han Xuan was very satisfied with this.
Unfortunately, he learned that a senior executive of the finance department of the head office had embezzled more than $600,000 in public funds since he joined the Snow Mountain Investment Company, which ruined his good mood.
Believing that he had treated his employees well, most of the salaries of Snow Mountain Investment Company exceeded the standards of other companies, so Han Xuan asked Executive Anthony to throw the employee directly to the people of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for disposal.
It is estimated that he will not be able to get out of prison for five years, and he will issue an announcement in all its companies, ordering all financial officers to strictly investigate corruption and embezzlement, which is an example to kill chickens and monkeys.
The two talked for more than an hour before ending the call.
Anya saw Han Xuan put down the phone and whispered, "Come here, there are big mice!"
Han Xuan squatted beside her with a smile, and looked at the place where Anya pointed, a big mouse was rummaging for food under the roots of the betel nut tree, turned his head and said:
"There are a lot of rats on the Maldives island, and it is said that the ancient Maldivians believed that cats would bring them calamity.
Therefore, it has been passed down from generation to generation that the locals do not love to keep cats, and this is probably the only cat-free country in the world, because of the religion and geography of the religion, dogs and other livestock are not common.
Since rats have no natural predators in the Maldives, the ecological environment is out of balance, and the rat population is growing wildly.
When I first bought Pisces Island, there were more rats on this island, and last year I used some rat trapping equipment, and this year it is quite good. ”
"It's scary, why are people here afraid of kind cats? Anya muttered to herself.
Touching the head of the fat man next to him, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Did you see that mouse?"
Fat Ding's beard trembled, he took a few steps back, shook his head and pushed Han Xuan with his fleshy paws, and motioned for Han Xuan to catch it himself.
Judging by the expression on its face, it seems that it is still a little afraid of this mouse.
Han Xuan's eyes were weak, and in retrospect, after raising it for so many years, Fat Ding had indeed never caught a mouse.
Even the most common lemmings in the snowy mountain pastures have never been caught.
Before the cat was domesticated, it was a small carnivore, and it was born wild in its bones, so there was no reason not to catch mice.
Giving Anya a look and asking her to give way to the side, Han Xuan picked up the fat ding and threw it at the thick pile of dead leaves at the base of the tree.
The mouse was not afraid of people, and his retreat was blocked by the exotic shorthair cat Fat Ding, who was stunned after landing on the ground, and immediately bared his teeth and made a fierce appearance.
When Fat Ding came back from his fright, he saw the rat that was close at hand and could be killed with a slap, and he actually ran back quickly!
He climbed up the coconut tree with a crooked neck, and leaned on the trunk to hold his head with his short legs.
Seeing this scene, Han Xuan's expression froze, and Anya also looked sluggish.
Watching the mouse, he leisurely ran into the pineapple bushes......
"Oh my God, Fat Ding!
You can't even do something as simple as catching mice, but you're going to do something other than eat!"
Han Xuan covered his face, not wanting to see this extremely strange cat again.
Fat Ding waved his paws at the trunk of the tree, meowing in discontent.
Righteous protest against the dangerous act of the owner who had thrown it out almost crushed the ugly mouse.
You have a habit of cleanliness, okay.....
Returning from the beach in the evening, the local Maldivian fishermen who live on Pisces Island return from their sailing and several small boats appear to meet the setting sun.
After Han Xuan saw them, he took Anya to get on the ATV and set off for the pier. (To be continued.) )
