Chapter 280: Both Hands Must Be Hard
In the South Side of Boston, Barbara pulled the car and ran to the recording studio with Phoebe, suddenly Phoebe's mobile phone rang, Phoebe glanced at the number displayed, and then picked it up, and the voice of SNN came from the other side of the phone: "Phoebe, why didn't you do the show yesterday?"
"Good morning, Sister Sun. Phoebe first said hello to the SNN on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Have you all finished breakfast?"
"I'm alone, let's talk about it. Apparently SNN knew what Phoebe was asking.
"I'm going to attend a high-level banquet tomorrow night, so I'm going to order a dress as soon as I get off the plane, and I don't have time to record the show. Phoebe said.
"Oh, I see, okay, I'm still worried about what happened to you, don't worry, only I heard it, they don't know, then I'll hang up first." Bye-bye!" SNN hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Well, goodbye, sister. After Phoebe said this, the other party's beep of hanging up was already heard in the receiver of the mobile phone. Phoebe had no choice but to put away her phone, and she noticed that Barbara was looking at her.
Seeing that Phoebe didn't say whose phone it was, Barbara smiled and asked, "It's SNN?"
Phoebe diΗn diΗn head.
Barbara asked again, "What's the matter with her?"
Phoebe thought for a while and replied, "I didn't do BS yesterday, and SNN heard it and was a little worried about me." β
Barbara diΗn head and said, "I didn't expect her to care about you, and when you went to Korea, you two didn't show that they were so close, at least it seems that other people are closer to you." β
Phoebe smiled and shook her head, without explanation, seeing this, Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said after a while: "There is a guy from New York who wants me to introduce you." β
"Oh?"
Barbara glanced at Phoebe and said: "Phoebe, do you know, although you asked the Boston police to keep a secret from the lost, but the truth makes it a secret to be leaked, many people are actually watching your attitude, it can be said that if it weren't for the people at the top who knew that you were invited to the banquet tomorrow night, then there would be more than one person who wants to see you now." β
"Fortunately, I didn't file a patent application with any patent agency, which reduced the leak channel. Phoebe said something irrelevant.
Barbara saw that Phoebe's expression did not change, so she had to say again: "I think you had better prepare in advance, because someone will test you at the banquet." β
Fei Bi diΗn diΗn head said, and said an irrelevant sentence: "In a capitalist society, people will produce some irrational moral concepts or irrational ideals, which is actually the most obvious feature of the rupture of social bonds. β
Barbara was surprised: "Why is there a sociological argument all of a sudden?"
Phoebe shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just think maybe we should set up another joint-stock company to manage the business related to the maze system." β
Barbara peeked at Phoebe again and didn't speak. Phoebe has always maintained a forward-looking attitude.
At this time, Barbara suddenly saw the aperture of the speedometer on the dashboard turn yellow, and couldn't help frowning and glancing in the rearview mirror, and said, "Ahhh β
"Ralz, what's going on?" Phoebe pressed the walkie-talkie button on the armrest.
"Your Highness, five minutes after the car that followed us disappeared, now another car has followed, and there is no intention of overtaking. β
Barbara said, "Ralz, approach me diΗn and let them know that we have found them." β
"Okay, Barbara, if something happens, you will be responsible for protecting Your Highness. β
Barbara glanced at Phoebe and said, "No problem, you guys should be careful." β
Phoebe said, "Ralz, be careful, be ready to use the labyrinth unit at any time. β
"Don't worry, Your Highness. β
After ending the call, Barbara found that Phoebe was not nervous, and she was a little lost, she wanted to take this opportunity to show her many years of experience, so she said: "Phoebe, it seems that you are not nervous." β
"Nervousness can cause a lot of adrenaline to be produced, causing a decrease in thinking skills, and it is very harmful to react only instinctively rather than intelligently to danger. Phoebe said lightly.
Barbara pouted, she was convinced, and had to change the subject: "Who do you think they are? or someone hired by some consortium?"
"It's unlikely to be B, okay, there's a patrol police car at the next intersection, we slow down so that the police car can recognize us. When Phoebe said this, she also turned on the call button to the security car behind her.
"How do you know?" Barbara wondered.
"They're not B?"
"No, I mean there's a police car at the next intersection. β
"Well, the Boston police are very important to me now, and my range of activities is often out of their control zone, and they have to guard not only against B, but also against the state police, so they will make it as convenient for me as possible, and in the afternoon I asked them for a patrol car deployment map, and I wrote it all down. Phoebe said.
"Uh, they're going to show you this?" Barbara wondered.
"To be precise, they didn't show it to me, they just accidentally leaked out the deployment map and I saw it. Phoebe laughed.
"Well, it's not a crime for someone like you with a super memory. Barbara diΗn diΗn head, and said: "Okay, it's almost at the intersection, where is the police car?"
"If there is no accident, at this time the 24th group will drive past us on the left, turn into the road we are leading to at the junction, and then slow down and wait for them to come. Phoebe said.
Barbara slowed down a lot of speed and looked to the left, sure enough, a police car came from the left, and saw Barbara and their car also used the headlights to shine the license plate, when the police car turned, Barbara noticed that the police officer in the passenger seat was looking down and busy with something, probably checking their license plates.
Barbara and Raltz's car gradually picked up speed and caught up with the police car. At this time, Barbara noticed that the car that was following them just now turned right at the intersection and did not continue to follow.
"Do you think it was the police car that told them to give up tracking?" asked Barbara.
"Perhaps. "Based on the current situation, I think the stalker should know that we have a good relationship with the Boston police." Otherwise, they will not give up tracking because of a police car, after all, they have nothing to suspect in their behavior. β
"Well, the most important thing in modern warfare is to gather intelligence, and we sabotaged their intelligence-gathering operation, so what's next? β
Phoebe said: "It's okay, that's enough." Then she pressed the button on the walkie-talkie and said, "Ellie, pass the information of the two cars you just saw to Simon, and ask him to compare the vehicles that appeared in front of the company." β
"Yes, Your Highness. β
"Phoebe, I have to say, you seem to be quite good at intelligence. Barbara sighed.
"I don't know, I'm just adhering to the principle of safety first, I just don't want to get into too much trouble. Phoebe shook her head, and suddenly said to the walkie-talkie, "Ralz, do you like dogs?"
"Of course I like Your Highness, I don't think anyone doesn't like dogs. β
"Well, go back and have Simon arrange for everyone to have one or two German Shepherds, and the company's security department will provide a trained military dog for every employee who is willing to have a dog. β
"Hehe, Your Highness, then this is a big project, and it will take at least three months to form combat effectiveness. β
"It doesn't matter, you can choose to buy a batch of retired military dogs in the early stage, and then the company's military dogs need to be trained by ourselves. Phoebe said.
"No problem, Your Highness. β
Barbara glanced at Phoebe and said, "Military dogs?"
"It can also be called a tactical dog. β
"Is there a strategy dog?"
"I don't know, I shouldn't have it. β
"God, Phoebe, I don't know how much you have in your head. I heard about this kind of dog when I was in Eastern Europe, and tactical dogs are trained to kill, don't you think it's dangerous?"
"It's not dangerous for us, and I don't want the Titan staff to end up facing murder charges because of my negligence. Phoebe said.
Hearing this, Barbara's heart was cold, and she secretly glanced at Phoebe, she understood what Phoebe meant, if it was a dog murder, then many times the police would turn a big thing into a small matter, and it would be difficult to use this to accuse murder, at most manslaughter. And according to Phoebe, these dogs are all in the name of Titan's security department, so when facing accusations, no one can make this a case against a single Titan employee, which makes it much more difficult for outsiders to divide Titan.
Barbara swallowed and said, "Are you serious?"
"Well, and I'm going to show a lot of people the training process, so everyone will have a lot less trouble, okay?" Phoebe said.
Barbara diΗn diΗn head meaningfully, she really didn't know what Phoebe's attitude was towards killing people with dogs, it seemed that Phoebe was purely trying to use dogs to scare possible watchers, and she wouldn't really do it, but she vaguely felt that Phoebe might really make an example of killing a police officer at a time for many people to see, I hope the scene won't be too bloody by then......
The two were silent in the car for a while, and Barbara couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to change the topic and said, "By the way, the last time you talked about oil futures, when do you think you can withdraw?"
"I'm going to start withdrawing my funds in mid-May, and although there is still room for the price to rise, it's no longer necessary." β
Barbara smiled: "Okay, remember to tell me when you evacuate, and I will also evacuate with you." What are we going to fry after that?"
"Don't invest too much experience in the financial markets. Phoebe first said, and then added: "China's financial market is very strong in this wave of financial shocks, and the value of the renminbi is probably stronger in the Olympics, I think it is a good place to invest, but I will not enter there for the time being." β
"Oh, why?"
Phoebe said: "Now the world knows that China is a treasure place to ensure that capital does not shrink, coupled with the much-discussed US dollar over-issuance plan caused by the pressure of RMB appreciation, so Chinese are quite vigilant about foreign funds." In order not to make them resist and resent Girls' Generation and Titan, I will not choose to do financial operations there even if I need to. β
"So you're going to withdraw from the financial markets?"
"Since March last year, the signs of a new financial crisis have appeared, so since that time, whether it is Europe or the United States began to show goodwill to China, many issues have made substantial concessions to China, coupled with the Islamic world confrontation is too fierce, so that most of the less ignorant ruling groups are inclined to show goodwill to China, for example, the World Health Organization's Animal Protection Society, such as the United States Congress and the European Parliament on the comfort women issue that has been separated for nearly 40 years, and even Japan has taken the initiative to let Chinese businessmen hold the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference there, if nothing else, this year can even be called the Year of China, the whole world does not want China to mess up, even if something happens, even the Chinese do not need to do it themselves, all those who can understand are willing to do it for it. β
"Well, then what?" Barbara asked, puzzled, as she said China again.
"But the situation against China is not so easy to clear among the people at the bottom, the world's funds want to go to China to maintain their value, of course, there are some willing to take risks will go to Russia, Ukraine, Romania, South America and other places to buy the bottom, but relatively speaking, I still expect to maintain the value of more funds, and the place after the withdrawal of these funds is where I want to go. β
Barbara couldn't help but be intrigued and asked, "Where do you choose?"
"To be precise, I'm not trying to get into the financial markets. β
"Oh my God, Phoebe, don't lose my appetite, just say it. β
"India. β
"India?" Barbara glanced at Phoebe in surprise.
"Yes, India. "Phoebe diΗndiΗn head.
"What do you like about them again? I know that all of your investments are for a purpose, like your gift to the Boston police. β
"If I talk about drug development, do you believe it?"
Barbara glanced at Phoebe again, shook her head slightly, and said, "I don't know, forget it, I don't guess, I guess you won't sue me." β
"What I'm saying is true, dΗng and then count software development. Phoebe said.
Barbara pouted and said, "Don't talk about this, you can help me choose a direction for my funds." β
"Then don't be in a hurry to withdraw from the oil futures market, you know the tax rebate bill that passed in February this year, it will only be 16 billion US dollars next year, but it will be 152 billion US dollars this year, in fact, there is a very big problem here, where will the money come from. β
"Huh?"
"I suspect that this tax refund is suspected of money laundering, and this part of the money is obtained from the oil futures market. β
"You ......"
"I think it's okay to mid-May, not more than mid-June at the latest, and we must withdraw it, at least the money that is long. β
"Because you're about to face a third-quarter audit?"
"Some are, but there are other reasons, in addition to oil, nuclear energy is also a big part of the future of energy, the United States and Russia are both nuclear mining powers, and of course there are other countries, such as Iran, which is being sanctioned. Far away, I think this oil price increase is mainly aimed at Russia, because Russia's attitude towards the world's nuclear energy deposits is not the same as the United States, on this diΗn, from Iran's research and development of nuclear facilities, the problem is that the United States does not want this, so there has been more than a year of oil price speculation, although the soaring oil prices will benefit Russia a lot, but Iran is under sanctions, they will definitely find ways to sell oil, as the price of oil rises, the Russians can hardly suppress those Persians, the United States is likely to use this to drive a wedge between Russia and IranIt is also hoped that some agreements or memorandums of understanding on the application of nuclear energy will be reached with Russia. β
Barbara frowned and asked hesitantly, "What you said is true?How can such a large amount of money in the oil market go unnoticed?!"
"I said, that's just speculation, and the money is not just coming out of the oil futures market, there are some related capital markets, you just have to pay attention to the news, if the United States and Russia reach a bilateral agreement on the use of nuclear energy, then you must withdraw the money to do long oil. β
Barbara couldn't help but reach out and stroke her forehead and said, "I was confused by what you said......"
Phoebe said: "Don't worry, if you listen to my losses, how much you lose, I will make up for you." β
"How much do you really make?"
"It's still unclear, I actually started to open a position at the earliest when I was $68, and I have been covering the position until $100, and I can almost make 1.3 billion in the middle of the month. (That, cheat, set the price of oil at $136 per barrel now)
"That's not a lot......
"Of course, as long as it's enough, I said, I'm not interested in the capital market. β
"How much money do you put into it?"
"Thirty million more than one diΗn. (I don't know if I'm right, 100 times leverage is 3 billion, long to more than half of the price of the original position, of course, but also to count the diminishing returns during the margin call, the final income is 5 billion, and then throw away the 3.7 billion leveraged principal and various taxes, and finally Phoebe gets 1.3 billion)
"Understood, I'll listen to you......" Barbara resigned......
