Chapter 613: It's Not Just Him
The SEC is the US Securities and Exchange Commission, known to Chinese as the US Securities and Exchange Commission, with thousands of employees, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and the investigation and enforcement department, as an important part of it, has a lot of power.

The most famous law on which the SEC is based is called the "Truth in Securities Law" by the United States, and its basic content is twofold, one is that securities investors have the right to obtain all financial information and other important information of companies that publicly sell securities in the market, and the other is to prohibit institutions from defrauding investors, anyway, they are more inclined to protect the rights and interests of small and medium-sized investors.
Therefore, the SEC has the right to investigate the listed companies that they feel are in trouble, as long as you are a listed company, and the SEC feels that you have problems, it can directly require you to submit documents and proofs, and then decide whether to conduct a more in-depth investigation based on these materials and its own work.
To sum it up: if I want to check you, you have to let me check it, as long as you have a problem, I can find out.
The problem is that the SEC has a lot of power, the task is also heavy, thousands of stocks to keep an eye on, and other miscellaneous things, thousands of employees seem to be many, but in fact, it is still not enough, plus ATE itself is not a vegetarian, how can it be said that the investigation will be investigated?
If it weren't for Lei Hao's identity, Huang Jialiang would definitely curse directly as an "idiot", although his uncle Huang Shuhe has a lot of power in the investigation and enforcement department of the SEC, but he also has a lot of supervision.
Recently, the matter of lei has gained some heat, and Huang Shuhe, who is also Chinese, has to pay a lot of price for jumping out to express his opinions.
"Mr. Lei, the U.S. side is different from China, and the SEC is not weak in terms of regulatory power." Huang Jialiang shook his head and said: "If nothing else, most of the institutions involved in the securities market are not only the people being investigated, but also the regulators. ”
"It's man-made, and to investigate the matter of ate, we won't let Mr. Shuhe be weak in the SEC." Lei Hao said.
Huang Jialiang shook his head with a smile, he has been in contact with this group of people in the financial circle many times, what lies have he not heard?
First fool A and say that BCD will do it too, and then use the same words to fool BCD and others, and finally when you launch it, you will find a fucking fact, that is, you are the only one who does it, and everyone else is watching.
Since there are many internal struggles within the SEC, and you may not get accurate information when you go to contact other people, the financial predators will believe at most half of what they say.
In Huang Jialiang's eyes, Lei Hao is a financial predator, at least he is a big dealer in short-selling.
"Mr. Lei has a lot of chips in his hands to short ATE, right?" Huang Jialiang nodded with a smile, "It's a good idea to find an entry point in the SEC, but not this time, everything must have certain preconditions." ”
What do you mean? Lei Hao paused a little, and soon, he understood some attitudes from the smile in Huang Jialiang's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.
The other party thinks that he has wronged him, but the problem is that he doesn't.
Let Huang Jialiang's uncle Huang Shuhe initiate a proposal, Lei Hao must be for profit, but in fact, he still has the idea of selling his personal favor to Huang Shuhe.
Yes, asking someone to do something, and there is also the idea of making the other party owe favors, if Huang Jialiang knows about it, the other party may have an urge to pry Lei Hao's head to check the brain circuit.
But the truth is so wonderful, Lei Hao knows it very well.
Does Ante Energy Group have a problem? Of course.
Is there any momentum within the SEC to investigate Ante Energy Group? There must be.
Lei Hao himself has no power in the United States, and it is absolutely impossible to influence the SEC at least, but Benard's group of people do.
Look at the list of well-known names behind Bernard and others: Keda, HSBC, Wells Fargo, AIG, Morgan.
Although it is only a subordinate fund company, it is strange that Bernard and others do not do it after absorbing enough chips.
Huang Shuhe launched a proposal at this moment, and it is not unlikely that it will be rejected, but in a few days, he will definitely suddenly find that the people who support him have popped up, and they are one after another, and in the end, the proposal to investigate ate will definitely be passed.
In this process, Huang Shuhe in the system will definitely get a lot of benefits.
Since the problems of Ante Energy Group exist objectively, as soon as the proposal is passed, the things found out are enough to benefit Huang Shuhe a lot, which is a great political achievement.
Lei Hao thought so, but only to find that he took it for granted, and the relationship between him and Huang Jialiang did not even have a basis for mutual trust.
"What do you think is a precondition?" Lei Hao asked.
"Mr. Lei, in terms of political donations, the Democrat Party has received relatively little soft money, so we might as well talk about the 'Blue Hudson River'." Huang Jialiang's eyes lit up and said with a smile.
The so-called "blue Hudson" is actually an issue thrown up by the Democratic Party to attack its opponents, and the interest groups of the Republican (and He) Party have made a lot of "contributions" to polluting the Hudson River.
In the United States, political donations are a very wonderful thing, and the money that individuals donate to individuals for election is called hard money, and there are many restrictions, so politicians bypass this regulation and let donors put their money into the projects of their parties, which is soft money with no limit.
It's all bullshit, Huang Jialiang means to let Lei Hao give some political donations, and then he helps Lei Hao contribute to this matter.
When he heard this, Lei Hao was a little stunned, but he just groaned for a while, then raised two fingers and said, "Two million dollars, I want to see the blue Hudson River." ”
Huang Jialiang suddenly showed a brighter smile, 2 million is a lot for a city councilor like him, it should be enough for his uncle Huang Shuhe to speak out for Lei Hao like a formality.
"What about people in the financial world? It's not like it's asking for people, so it's the best choice to go into politics. The Huang family was a little proud in his conscience, but on the surface, he smiled quite gently.
Deliberately pretending to think about it, Huang Jialiang nodded and agreed, thinking that he had made a good deal.
After contacting for a while, Huang Jialiang said goodbye and left, and received Lei Hao's money, he naturally wanted to do something, and that night, he told his uncle Huang Shuhe about the matter face-to-face.
"You mean, Lei Hao gave you a political contribution of 2 million in exchange for your proposal for me to help him launch an investigation?" Huang Shuhe is only 9 years older than his nephew Huang Jialiang, but his experience is much richer, and when he heard the end, he sighed silently in his heart.
"Yes, uncle, I don't need you to do your best, just let me have an explanation for Mr. Lei, just like ......" Huang Jialiang smiled and wanted to make arrangements.
"Are you sure it's a trade?" Huang Shuhe's face was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, we are only in initial contact, and this matter ......" Huang Jialiang felt that something was wrong.
"And there is a cost for politicians to contribute, don't you think?" Huang Shuhe shook his head and said, "That's right, but it's not suitable for Lei Hao!" I remember I told you to try your best to get closer to Lei Hao! You forgot? ”
Speaking of the last sentence, Huang Shuhe's expression became a little stern.
"I haven't forgotten, but this incident ......" Huang Jialiang still wants to explain, if his "strategizing", Lei Hao will donate at most 108,000 yuan, where will the 2 million come from? And will there be anything going to happen? No, as long as ATE is okay, this matter can only be a transaction! What's wrong?
"Why didn't you tell me before you met Lei Hao?" Huang Shuhe wanted to slap his nephew a little, gritted his teeth and said, "Short!" It's not just Lei Hao! (To be continued.) )
