Chapter 34: The Covenant of Syracuse
Oct. 8, 7 a.m. U.S. time.
Location, Syracuse, J.K Hotel Restaurant
On a square table with a snow-white tablecloth, there is a white bone china vase with a thin neck.
A fiery red rose is alone in the bottle, lonely and charming.
McKelly, who was wearing a long gray trench coat, refused the waiter's request to take off his hat after sitting down, and then had to pay twenty dollars to send the prompt machine away, and then remained alone in the bench.
Wrapped in a trench coat with his hands on his chest, the brim of his hat covers his face, and he looks at the porch from time to time, looking like a homeless man, exuding a dark aura all over his body.
His appearance as a secret police frightened Morris, who was hesitating outside the porch, and the heavens and men fought for a long time before gritting his teeth and walking towards the square table with roses on the table.
Morris walked over to the table, stooped down and pulled out the rose from the bottle, handing it to the mysterious man curled up in his chair.
"Jack?"
Kelly opened his mouth in surprise, and the thin figure who appeared in front of him, wearing a pair of glasses, with the same pale face and skin, wearing sloppy sneakers, and a vampire look, really didn't look like his Wall Street counterparts in his heart, even if everyone was the same kind of vampire, he was afraid that he could still help each other buy some sunscreen when he came out during the day, but he couldn't stand the style of vampires wearing sneakers when they went to appointments.
"Ruth?"
Rota. Morris had an obvious look of disappointment on his face, and he already regretted it a little, the neurotic dressed in front of him, his bloated figure, his gloomy eyes, and his hooked nose and thin lips were not a good person at first glance, let alone the super hacker he imagined, and he didn't know if it was a swindler from East Germany or smuggled from the Soviet Union, and he left immediately after figuring out what he wanted to know, and he had been with such a neurotic for a long time, and the antidepressants were saved.
"You sit."
Big Kelly put the rose on the table, stood up expressionlessly, stretched out his palms and gestured to the other party, patiently completing the joint code of the organization's explanation, if it wasn't for the explanation of his superiors, he would never sit with such a leper opposite in his life, he is a big man at the level of a Wall Street fund manager, and the governor does not dare to wear sneakers to see him on formal occasions, or dirty shoes.
"You sit, I'll sit!"
Morris was very irritable, especially staring at the red rose on the snow-white naple, and secretly scolded you guys for being a little more neurotic, what kind of weird joint code is this, just a few words are more difficult to say than getting a super administrator account, I'm a super hacker, and I accidentally got involved with a pig?
The two weirdos who despised each other and looked at each other as soon as they met the snow in June, and at the same time their butts sank, and they sat on the stool, glancing at each other coldly, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief, and finally connected their heads.
"Sir, can you eat?" The waiter standing on the side with his back hand on his back asked with his upper body bowed slightly, with an expression on his face that he had just finished a nightmare.
He came over when the new guests arrived, and the conversation between the two strangers was heard word for word, and while shivering, the bow on his throat felt tighter and tighter, and he couldn't breathe, so he could wait until this pair of friends took a seat.
Big Kelly motioned for the waiter to serve the meal, and at the same time carefully asked the leper opposite: "Are you clear about your affairs?" β
"Well, clear, what's the matter?" Morris was equally cautious.
"If you can come, it proves that you accepted the invitation, and then the game begins." Big Kelly smiled mysteriously at Morris, and the tone of his words seemed to be condescending and in control.
"I accepted the invitation, but how do you know you're not here to play the game?" Morris had a seemingly shy smile on his face, and a pair of eyes that shone with wisdom, but it meant that he was very clear-headed.
Seeing that the temptation was ineffective, Big Kelly reached out and took out a piece of writing paper full of transcriptions from his arms, pressed it on the table and pushed it to the opposite side: "You take a look at this first." β
Morris picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, and from time to time picked up the porcelain cup on the porcelain plate and took a sip, the softness of the milkshake coffee on the tip of his tongue satisfied his taste buds, but the egg roll brought by the waiter never moved.
It's not that he doesn't like to eat egg rolls, but he deliberately doesn't eat them, or because the summoning letter specifically states that he wants to eat them, he doesn't eat them.
"Do you understand?" Big Kelly's tone was flat, as if he asked casually.
"I'm not an idiot, how can I not understand it so simple?" Morris was very strange, glanced up at Big Kelly, and felt that the neurosis on the other side was inexplicable.
"Oh, tell me what you understand." The old god of Big Kelly is here, and he is full of style.
"Do you think I'm an idiot like you, and you can't even read such an idiot's question?" Morris gave Big Kelly a sarcastic look.
"Boy, do you know who you're talking to?" Big Kelly was very unhappy, and was despised by a leper who looked like an addict, but was actually a vampire who could move during the day.
"The inviter is C, I'll write the statement, you're the program, do you understand the program?" Morris was kind enough to explain it to the guy opposite.
"What the are you-, let's be clear, what the hell do you mean?" Big Kelly had a frantic expression, and a pair of tricks on his hooked nose flashed fiercely, as if he was ready to tear the kid on the other side at any moment.
"With your IQ, I can't tell you clearly." Morris saw that the neurotic on the other side was sick, and he didn't want to explain it to Big Kelly, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the thing." β
"What's that? You explain it to me first. Big Kelly dodged his eyes, still wondering what the hell the organization was up to.
"Listen to the bastard, I'll just tell you once, the lightning interception system to be established by C requires a large supercomputer server and a dedicated optical cable, and there is also a set of associated procedures for connecting to the stock exchange, and the access certificate must be obtained. I'm the one in charge of building the system, you bastard is the idiot who gave me the keys, and you have to apply for a dedicated fiber optic cable to connect the system with your New York Stock Exchange seat and affiliates. In the end, it is the preparatory money that you brought that is not monitored by the bank's financial management system, and you can't do anything without money. β
Morris shook his shoulders, put down his glasses from time to time, and shook his head to explain, but he didn't realize that his ADHD had happened again.
"Well, thoughβ" Big Kelly had never been so frustrated as he was today, and he took out a thick document bag from his trench coat in great frustration and handed it to the other side, "... Here's something for you. β
Morris took it, spun and untied the cord, opened the file bag and took out a stack of papers of different sizes from inside, the top one was thrown aside after looking at it for a while, and then looked at the second one of the turquoise below, and soon frowned, and flipped through it impatiently, randomly pulled out the following one and brought it to his eyes, and cursed after just looking at it: "What the are these things, where is the money?" β
Big Kelly was in high spirits when he heard this, his gloomy eyes were suddenly extremely sharp, and he slowly raised his chin with a haughty expression, his eyes were facing up and the bottom of his eyes were down, and he looked at the other side condescendingly, with a mocking look on his face.
"Bastard, you seem to have something to say?" Morris was fidgetily rummaging through stacks of papers, trying to find a check or something representing money, when he noticed that the guy opposite was looking at him like a clown, and he was furious.
"Idiot, you can't even read the associated documents and entrustment certificates, and you think you know what the organization's stealth funds are, you idiot who only knows Franklin." Big Kelly glanced at the other side triumphantly, and the frustration in his heart was swept away, and he knew that he would not write on the paper the preparation funds that were not subject to the supervision of the bank's financial management system, and the guy on the other side had a really good memory, and he almost frightened him by reading a good word.
Morris scratched his head restlessly, put his hand on his glasses, and scolded: "Bastard, you have to figure it out, only I can handle this system, you are my assistant, don't let your boss be confused, tell me honestly, what about money?" β
Big Kelly smiled proudly, and also scolded: "Idiot, you have to figure it out, only I understand the specific operation of the fund-related companies, the money is in front of you, you idiot who doesn't even know money, relying on you idiot to operate, you don't have to wait for the SEC to pass the meeting, the FBI will come to the door." β
After a pause, thinking of something, he suddenly showed the expression of a big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit, and his voice was tempting, "You tell me first, what is this lightning that the organization asked us to establish, what is it, warn you, what C programs are not allowed, speak English." β
ββ¦ Is it true that the stock and futures quotation machine only quotes prices once every fifteen minutes? Morris lifted his glasses and asked irritably.
"Of course not, what you said is the lowest retail terminal at the level of the securities retail department, and the stockbroker or small investment company of the general large securities company is at the same level, after receiving the on-site and telephone entrustment, the instructions must be summarized to the securities company, and the securities company will be summarized to the member seat of the stock exchange, and the auction will be carried out on the spot." Big Kelly shook his head.
"That's it, pyramid structure, the bottom is the enrichment area." Morris nodded, knowing that he didn't explain it, so he didn't want to understand the stack of heavenly documents, and endured his temperament to continue, "The gathering point of each trading terminal will form a time node accordingly, and the telephone entrustment transaction will be transferred to the lowest terminal, and the collection of securities companies will be the first node, and the data of securities companies will be collected to the stock exchange is the second node, and the on-site trader will receive instructions, and the on-site bidding will be the third node, and there will be a time difference in between." β
"Time difference? What's the use, don't end up bidding? "Of course Big Kelly knows that there is a time difference, just like a delay, but the price is the same for a while later and a moment earlier, so what's the use.
"Of course it's useless for humans, but for machines, there's plenty of time."
Morris's eyes flashed, and his face showed an excited look, "This is a bug in the securities trading system, and the organization has designed a set of interceptions at the top of the time node, and screens and removes the cost of the transaction link in the bidding stage of the stock exchange, and the buy and sell orders that can generate profits are mutually held and delivered, the response speed is enough, the calculation speed can keep up, and each order earns 1 dollar, and the accumulation is also astronomical, Manual trading on the floor? Open your eyes, idiots, the Internet age has swept in. β
"Oh my God, what do you mean?" Big Kelly slowly understood a little, but just this understanding made his blood boil, and he couldn't help but stand up, leaned forward and leaned forward towards Morris, for fear that the other party would not be able to speak.
"That's right, we're going to start taxing public companies around the world." Morris pursed his lips reservedly, and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
"So what are you waiting for, let's do it! Long live the Dragon Knights!! Big Kelly roared, his forehead was bruised, his eyes were red, and he waved his fists excitedly.
The scattered guests on several tables in the restaurant were all startled by this ghostly cry like a wolf's howl, and they couldn't help but shudder at the same time, followed by angry eyes at the culprit......
