Chapter 564: Perfect Plan
Link didn't expect Douglas's investigation to go so well.
A few days after he returned from Las Vegas, Douglas came to Ozette again.
Maybe the other side didn't think that they would get clues from China.
Douglas started from the Chinese side, from the manufacturer of the fake wine label, to the trend of the export container number, to the receiving company, to the transport driver, and finally to the owner of the goods.
However, the owners of those fake wine labels are not Luke Truss as he thought before, and John Malone is not suitable for him, but Claude Ross who he did not expect.
Claude Ross was the implementer of the 1.25 billion dollar that set him up in the first place, and he certainly hasn't forgotten him. Douglas has also sent people to keep an eye on him.
It's just that Link doesn't want to stick too much blood on his hands, that thing can't be washed. What can be done now is unaware, but no matter how thick the steel plate is, there will be a day when it will be pierced. So he's waiting for an opportunity. It's just that Claude Ross seems to be going to sit on the mountain and take the money and only enjoy it, but do nothing.
He never found much of a chance to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Claude Ross and Luke Truss got together again. And Douglas's people didn't even know anything.
"All this information is confirmed?"
"The evidence we found pointed to him. And we found that the fake wine they produced was transported to Luke Truss's workshop. ”
"But the factory has nothing to do with Luke Truss. ”
His sentence is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
Douglas was silent for a moment and said, "He was cunning and didn't leave any heads and tails." ”
Link threw the information on the table, and the man leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a moment before he opened his eyes and said, "So, we can only do it when they deliver the wine to Bell Farm?"
"That's the best way. We may be able to gather more evidence in the process. Douglaston paused and said. "And I had a monitor and pinhole camera installed in Claude Roth's house in the hope of getting more information. ”
Link sat back down and said, "That's it." In short, the fake wine must be linked to Bell Farms. "That's the only way to pull John Malone into the water.
CNN's recent coverage of him has annoyed him a bit.
They have begun to develop a tendency to make personal attacks, discussing not only his character, but also his family and friends. Even the case of Cox's injury, which had been sealed two years ago, has been taken out and distorted.
He felt that if he didn't teach them a big lesson, they wouldn't remember the pain.
"As long as they send the fake wine to Bell Farms, it certainly can't get away with it," Douglas said. ”
Link nodded and said no more about it: "Also, you help me check on Amanda." I want to know her social connections. ”
"To what extent?" Douglas was stunned for a moment, Amanda and Link had always been in a cooperative relationship, and he didn't understand why Link would make such a request. "What's wrong with her?"
"I hope she has no problem. Link said with a smile. "Snapton is in talks to buy two video sites, and an agreement will be reached soon, and I plan to invite her to be the director of the network TV station. ”
Only then did Douglas come to his senses and said, "I'll be careful." "Since Link is planning to hire Amanda, their investigation must be secretive and not be noticed by Amanda, at least not that Link is investigating her.
In the following month, the cold winter seemed to release all the energy, and the weather began to slowly become warmer and the land was civilized.
This month, Link hasn't had a few days of leisure.
Charlie, who was newly elected to the federal council, is also busy, but when Link comes to San Francisco, he will of course find time to receive him.
Link came to his office and congratulated him in person.
This was Charles' last breakthrough. As long as you become a councillor, anything is possible in the future. And he's still young.
Charlie was also in high spirits, but when he saw what Link had taken out, his face sank.
After looking at the materials and photos, he pondered for a while before he said, "What do you want me to do?"
"It happened in New Mexico. Link hinted with a smile. "Actually, I could have given it directly to Mr. Governor, but I don't want people to know that this matter has anything to do with me. ”
Charlie couldn't help but laugh and said, "If this thing comes out, everyone will think that you did it." ”
"It's okay without evidence. ”
What Link brought out was the evidence Douglas had gathered. In the last two weeks, Bell Farms has been taking advantage of the start of farming season, and there have been a large number of trucks carrying things into Bell Farms. Douglas took advantage of their hiring of temporary workers and sent people in. I caught a lot of stuff in the shadows.
After checking for a moment, he said, "This is a serious case of counterfeiting. I thought, maybe I can make it public. ”
"But that would give them time to move things. ”
Cha Li thought for a moment and said, "I will discuss with my father, and my father should be able to act at the same time." "He's going to be in the limelight on this.
Link heard him say this and didn't object anymore. Charlie is ambitious, and he is happy to see it. As long as it doesn't hurt him.
Charlie put things back into his file bag and said, "I'm going to New Mexico tonight." You wait for my news. ”
"You don't have to call me, as long as you have the right plan, you can follow your plan. He can guarantee that his phone will not be tapped, but he cannot guarantee that no one is tapping Charlie's. "The Strus phone will be available next week, and I suggest you buy one. That kind of phone is a little bit safer. ”
Now that Charlie is a councillor, he can't send anything at will anymore. Wine can be said to be a drink between friends, but mobile phones cannot be said to be used in turns.
"Safer, what do you mean?"
Link didn't say it explicitly, "Anyway, I suggest you buy one." Even the most expensive model is not expensive, only two thousand five hundred dollars. ”
In order to prevent someone using the "Patriotic Law" as an excuse to ban mobile phones from the market, Strus did not mention the anti-eavesdropping function at all when he advertised. And they plan to admit that even if the phone is found to be anti-eavesdropping, they don't plan to admit that it was deliberately designed like that.
To disguise this fact, Carrick even divided the program into four parts and embedded it in the core intelligence program. lest it be accused of deliberately producing such a mobile phone.
The main selling point of Strus Electronics' upcoming phone is that it is smarter than existing smartphones and has a cool appearance.
With those two things, it will probably attract a considerable number of people to buy.
When the anti-eavesdropping function was discovered, they secretly publicized it for everyone to know. It would be difficult for anyone to ban it. When the time comes, it will not be too late for them to make a fortune.
So, he couldn't talk to Charlie at this time.
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I won't disturb your work." And I'm going to Silicon Valley. That's the main reason he came to San Francisco.
Charlie smiled and stood up to shake his hand and said goodbye: "I heard." Congratulations on finally having your own TV station. He knew that Link had been seeking to have his own television station for a long time.
And Link, as his partner, would also be of great benefit if he could have a TV station with a wide audience. That's a great platform for publicity.
"Haha, although it's an online TV station, it's really a TV station. ”
Link smiled and shook hands with him before leaving. Charlie watched him walk away at the door before returning to the office. He closed the door, sat back in his seat and pondered for a while, took out his phone and wanted to make a call, when suddenly he thought of what Link said, he just said on the phone, "Dad, I'm going to visit you and Mommy at night...... Yes, I'm alone. ”
With that, he hung up the phone, put the things Link had sent him into his briefcase, and then began to work again.
Silicon Valley went from a farmland to a city, eventually becoming synonymous with the Internet age. Although it is no longer the most suitable city for IT startups, there are still many people in the Internet industry who choose to start their own businesses here.
This is the case of two websites that Link successfully acquired: Monkey Hell and PNJ. They are all websites that have risen later, mainly specializing in online video distribution.
He is here today as the owner of both sites and the employees who chose to stay after the acquisition. At the same time, it is also necessary to announce the official establishment of the network TV station.
Amanda was the director he hired.
When his car arrived, Amanda was already waiting for him downstairs. Although the network TV station is only transmitted through the Internet, it is still a TV station, and there must always be a necessary working space, so he bought the twelve-story building and moved the two websites to work together.
Link got out of the car and asked Amanda, "All ready?"
"The relocation of the two sites is not yet complete. You know you want to maintain traffic, you can't interrupt it, so they need to relocate while you're operating. Also, our studio is being renovated. ”
Link can understand: "When will the recording studio be done. And when do you expect the TV station to start?"
"The renovation of the recording studio took half a month to complete. However, it may take up to a month for the required equipment to arrive and be installed and commissioned. ”
After Amanda finished speaking, she said to him, "I'll take you to see the TV station?"
"Good!"
Amanda took him around some of the most important departments. Link found that everyone was busy, perhaps because a lot of work hadn't been sorted out yet. He just said hello to these employees and didn't bother them too much.
