Douglas knew that the longer something dragged on, the more likely it was to go wrong. So, after he returned to Las Vegas, he bought a mobile phone that almost anyone could afford, then changed to a new calling card, wrote an email with his mobile phone, and then calculated the time and chose to send it on a regular basis, but he did not immediately upload it to the Internet.

Then he went to a coffee shop with an open IFI and ordered a cup of coffee. Leave after your coffee. During this time, he has sent the email to the network, and it will be sent to the target's mailbox as soon as it is a set time.

In this way, as long as he pulls out the phone card, he can avoid someone from easily finding him based on the network records.

In St. Louis, Emporia Parker had just started work in the afternoon when he received a text message on his phone informing him of a new email. He hurriedly opened the email on the computer and found that there was a small software in the email. In the email, he was asked to insert the software into the server of the company he worked for.

At this time, even if he is a fool, he understands what the other party is going to do.

He didn't hesitate for long, regardless of whether the other party was a commercial spy or something else. The company's secrecy is far less important than his daughter's safety.

But he didn't immediately follow the other party's instructions, but just replied to an email asking to talk to his daughter on the phone. Then write down the e-mail address and delete the e-mail address completely.

Douglas didn't go to another café again until the evening to surf the Internet, and after reading the email, he finally decided to let Emporia Parker talk to his daughter. But he told the two people who were working for him: "Remember, he can only talk for a minute and a half at most." Then, you have a maximum of one minute to remove the card from your phone. Otherwise, your location may be discovered. ”

After Daughras left Ozette, Link also took a moment to temporarily banish the incident from his brain as if nothing had happened.

The next day, he and Jessica went to Fox again.

But they're not going to work. Jessica is going for her first formal check-up today. She had done it once before in the sixth week, and everything was fine that time, and now she needs to have a formal prenatal check-up.

There are basically no queues at clinics in Fox because the population is small. And they've had appointments too.

This prenatal check-up is to do B-ultrasound, blood tests and so on.

Jessica is under 25 years old. There is no family history, so doctors do not recommend physical examinations such as preventing fetal diseases, because there are certain risks associated with doing those prenatal tests.

While doing the ultrasound, the doctor suddenly stared at the screen of the device for a while.

Link felt a sudden shock in his heart and asked, "What happened?"

"Mr. Hans, Miss Benis, if you only have one baby item in hand. Now you have time to make up for it!" the doctor cracked a big smile. "Congratulations, there are two healthy babies here!"

Twins?Link was stunned by the news. Jessica's pregnancy is already making him happy. Now I know that this joy turned out to be a double share.

"Twins?" Jessica was also pleasantly surprised. She looked at Link, her face flushing with joy.

This doctor is also the same one who gave Jessica a prenatal check-up. She said apologetically, "I didn't see it as twins last time." But it's okay, it's not too late. ”

Of course it's not too late! This great news made Link completely throw all his recent boredom into the sky.

In the ultrasound room, he and Jesse held hands and watched the two beating images on the screen, the heartbeat of the fetus. He just thought it was amazing, two heartbeats, as if his heart rate tended to be the same as theirs.

As he spoke, he noticed that his throat was a little astringent: "Doctor, when are we going to know the sex of the baby?" He didn't tend to be of any gender, he just wanted to know the sex of the fetus so that he could prepare the best things for his baby. The son will use the boy's things, and the daughter will have the girl's way of preparation.

"Theoretically, the sex of the fetus can be determined after the twentieth week. But that takes luck, because not every fetus wants to let someone out there peep at it. ”

"I mean, when it's accurate. ”

"I would recommend coming back for that check-up after twenty-seven weeks. By the way, our clinic has a pregnancy brochure for sale, you can buy a copy if you need it. It will tell you what to look out for. ”

Although they had already bought some of the same books themselves, they still felt that one more was nothing. Link also asked a few questions about Jessica's need to be aware of.

After the examination, they left the clinic and got into the car. Link wasn't going to go to the company either: "Let's go home." ”

Jessica was still immersed in joy, but she was a little worried: "What should I do? Talk to only one child, will one of them think I don't love them?"

"It's not too late to know. They haven't developed their hearing yet. But you can't go to work in the future. "It's definitely harder to have two children than to have one. Although it is only fourteen weeks. But Jessica is not an ordinary white-collar worker, but the president of a company. It's the time when Benehans has the most things going on. Let her think too much, it will not be good for the fetus.

Maybe frightened by the fact that he had two children in his belly. Jessica is no longer averse to recuperating at home this time.

Of course, Link was also worried that she would be bored at home, so he said, "Do whatever you want at home." Whatever you need, buy the best. But you can't do heavy work, and you can't use your brain too much. ”

Jessica is raising the baby at home, and Link can only get busier.

Benehans' business is getting busier day by day. Within three days of the promotion meeting at Holland Ranch, more than 600 Texas farmers received cooperation intentions.

As a result, the business of Ozette Bank has become busy. Although the new merger model eliminates the need for farmers to pay a one-time six-year service fee, some farmers still need to take out a loan for the first year's service fee.

Claire began arranging for the clerk to work with Benehans to sign loan contracts with the Agricultural Bank. Moreover, Benehans also attached an additional clause to the contract, and the farmer did not need a loan this time. Benehans will be obliged to help the farmer to take out a loan from the Ozette Bank if he needs a loan to purchase the company's services next year.

After Link and Jessica made several adjustments to their service contracts, the amount of loans farmers needed was greatly reduced, allowing Ozette to lend more money with the remaining funds. Nearly four billion dollars, two billion were borrowed from the captives, Tommy Coklein returned the billion dollars he borrowed from him, and the other billion dollars were his new income during this time.

That's enough money to finance 20 million acres of farmland.

Of course, that also made the business of Ozette Bank much worse than expected.

Competitors are sure to see it all. But even if they use the media to constantly question, warn and attack it. But it still can't stop it.

Link is no longer late for work every day because there is so much work in the company. If he still arrives late and leaves early, he may not be able to complete the work.

He was still on his way to send Hannah to kindergarten that day. He gets a call from Neil.

Neil, who thought about it for a while, said with an excited voice, "Link, they have launched. ”

"What?" Link was stunned by his mindless words. But soon he remembered what he was talking about. "What started? Crude oil?"

"Yes, crude oil! They did it. ”

"When did it start?"

"The news has just been reported. There was an explosion at a pumping station on a pipeline that transports Russian crude oil to Europe. ”

When Link heard this, he immediately said, "I'll be at the office in fifteen minutes." We'll talk more about that later. ”

He dropped his daughter off at the kindergarten teacher and watched her jump into the school before getting in the car and going to the Ozetta Bank building. He went straight to Neil's office.

Neil was in the office at this time, and Claire was too, and they were watching the news on TV.

Link didn't greet them when he entered, and turned his head to look at the TV.

On the screen of the TV is a long shot, and under the lens, there is a sea of fire in the dark night, and thick black smoke rises into the sky. It's just that it's like it's in a desert area, not like Russia.

See him come in. Claire smiled and said to him, "It looks like they're prepared." Ten minutes earlier, one of Iran's main oil pipelines had also come under attack. Now there is a lot of excitement to watch. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not enough to bomb Russia, but they also want to provoke China? ”

Iran's largest oil field is China's largest oil project in the Middle East. If the pipeline is blown up, China will definitely blow it up. One Russia is enough for the United States to drink a pot, and it turns out that they provoke China at the same time.

Neil sneered and said, "What is there not to dare? There is no doubt that soon a terrorist group will claim responsibility for the incident." As long as there is no clear evidence, China and Russia will not dare to use force against the United States. And there was no evidence to be found. ”

"The bombs were all major crude oil exporters that use euros, and even a blind person can see that there is a United States in them. Link shook his head. But Neil was right. Even if there is conclusive evidence, China and Russia may not dare to use force directly against the United States.

It is not a question of whether or not it will win, but whether it is a country that can afford the consequences of World War III.

Claire said: "That's a big deal. First, the world situation will become tense, and the American arms dealers will get rich again. Second, in a short period of time, both Europe and China will need more dollars to buy oil to allow the dollar to regain strength from weakness. Finally, the economic environment in Europe deteriorates, and the dollar will flow back to the United States. ”

Neil said: "Maybe the money will go to China." But he agrees with Claire's other half. "But the U.S. goal has also been achieved. Although short-term, it will promote the strengthening of the dollar and stimulate the recovery of the US financial sector. ”

Link: Regardless of the international consequences of those two explosions. He just wants to know how much he will get back from the money he invests. He asked Neil, "What are you going to do next?"

Neil smiled and said, "All I want to do is do nothing!"

He was coquettish on Wall Street for more than a decade, but in the end he couldn't escape bankruptcy. The twists and turns made him feel a lot. It also made him have a clearer understanding of himself and the nature of capital. In other words, he has already seen the nature of capital clearly, but he has never paid much attention to it.

Now he has a greater reverence for the rules of capital.
