Chapter 287: Big Deal
Liu Yansong returned to New York from Toronto, and as soon as he returned to his residence, Xiao Panfeng hurried over. On the one hand, Xiao Panfeng came to report to Liu Yansong that the gang bosses who participated in the gambling game some time ago had personally sent the bets owed to the Big Circle Gang, and the other thing was about the theft of the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in Washington.
Not long ago, the Bundesbank communicated with the Fed that it wanted to check the amount of 500 tons of gold stored in the underground vault of the Fed's headquarters in Washington, but the Fed refused the Bundesbank's request to inspect their gold reserves, citing "this may cause security risks and procedural problems in the vault".
The Bundesbank must have found it difficult to accept this absurd reason, so the central bank immediately informed the parliament, and many lawmakers were extremely angry when they learned of the situation, and some even demanded that all the gold reserves deposited in the Fed be withdrawn.
The Fed was originally dismissive of such a request, and the Bundesbank's attitude was extremely ambiguous, in fact, they knew that once they demanded the withdrawal of all gold reserves, it would easily shake the entire Western financial system. If the people of country M are unable to hand over the full amount of gold, it will cause the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, which also deposited a large amount of overseas gold, to lose their credit.
However, if the 500 tons of gold reserves were to be stolen, no one could afford to bear such responsibility. At the same time, the German media is worried that the credit currency system is actually very fragile, especially since the current European debt crisis is very fierce.
Compared with the sanity of the Reichstag and the Bundesbank, the media and ordinary people do not have so many ideas, they just want a result, even if a German parliamentarian or even the senior management of the Bundesbank can stand at the door of the Fed's underground vault and take a picture and come back.
In response to the strong appeal of the domestic public, the Bundesbank finally could not bear the pressure from public opinion, so the Bundesbank appointed a central bank senior management and invited a member of parliament to the Fed to negotiate.
The Fed did not refuse Germany's request for a group photo. After all, Washington's underground vaults also have services in this area. Generally speaking, tourists from all over the world can take an elevator to the entrance of the underground vault after applying in advance, and they can stand in front of the 140-ton steel safety door fixed to the concrete and take a group photo.
Of course, the German demand was certainly not so simple, they demanded that they could enter their storage room and stand directly in front of the gold to take pictures.
Of course, this request is not excessive, as long as it is not an inventory of gold, the Federal Reserve will naturally not refuse. Therefore, the Federal Reserve agreed to the German application, and also appointed five directors to accompany the senior management of the Bundesbank and the parliamentarians to open the German gold storage room.
However, what shocked the Fed was that there was nothing in the storage room, not to mention gold, not even a trace of gold could be seen.
There was nothing in the gold that should have been full of storage room, and the news was reported to the Fed management, and the shock was conceivable. The Fed immediately inspected the rest of the storage room, but to everyone's disappointment, all the gold in the underground vault was gone, and all of it was emptied
It is definitely impossible to hide such a big thing, and within half an hour, many countries in the world will know the news. At this time, the Fed has no choice but to file a complaint to Congress.
Since the Fed's insurance door has not been damaged, many countries suspect that either the Fed is deliberately trying to swallow the gold reserves in the vaults, or that there are thieves in the Fed.
This kind of thing, without the participation of insiders, is absolutely impossible to do so seamlessly. What's more, the password for the insurance door is in the hands of the eight senior members of the board. The password is a total of 32 digits, and each of the eight senior members of the board of directors has four digits, and only when all eight senior members of the board are present can they enter the password to enter the vault.
At this point, the Fed was on fire, and the Fed could not escape responsibility for the theft of gold, and all countries with gold reserves at the Fed headquarters in Washington sent representatives to demand that the Fed pay for the stolen gold.
The Federal Reserve is not in a hurry, and they don't have to worry about the payment of gold theft. While underground vaults have always been touted as impregnable, the Fed will never put its eggs in one basket. Therefore, they still bought insurance according to the amount and value of gold reserves.
When the incident happened, it was the turn of those insurance companies to cry bitterly, they did not expect that the Federal Reserve, which had never had an accident in decades, would have such a major event as theft this time. This is simply a great irony, a naked slap in the face.
No way, no matter how reluctant the heart is, the insurance company has to grit its teeth and swallow this bitter fruit with tears in its eyes.
Of course, the insurance company will definitely not give up, and he will lose the money, but the lawsuit is not over. The insurance company has a backstage with the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Reserve has the top ten families of country M, but the insurance company is not easy to bully, and he has the support of Congress behind him. Moreover, the eyes of ordinary people are also bright, no matter how you look at this matter, it is a conspiracy of the Federal Reserve. That's right, it must be a conspiracy, or the Fed wants to hack the reserves of those countries, but they have not yet done it, but they have been caught by Germany.
For a while, the insurance company became a little resentful of the Bundesbank, saying that you have nothing to do when you are full, so you think of checking the vault
In fact, the Bundesbank was also depressed at this time, they had just received an anonymous letter, if it weren't for what people said, and even a photo of an underground vault inside, they wouldn't have rushed to make such a big thing.
Fortunately, the theft of the Federal Reserve's gold reserves has directly affected the price of gold in futures, and many countries in the world have been affected. Many people go bankrupt overnight, but many become rich overnight. Especially for those who gamble, there are many people who get rich, but there are also people who are down on the streets
Liu Yansong didn't expect things to turn out like this, but at this time, things were definitely beyond his control. In the end, the Congress of Country M was annoyed by the Federal Reserve and the insurance companies, and they kicked the ball to the CIA. Well, things are too weird, if the Fed really didn't guard itself and stole it, I'm afraid there are some special forces involved in the operation, your CIA's specialty is this, the action of the dominant position will be paused for a moment, and let's find out the Fed's stolen reserve gold first.
There was no way, the order issued by Congress through a vote, even the president only had the right to sign, and the CIA could only pinch his nose and take over the task, so the investigation began, and not long ago, someone in Washington caught fire for no reason and entered the eyes of the CIA, so an object of suspicion was born.
Liu Yansong couldn't guess the process, but he guessed the result correctly, and the result was exactly the answer he needed. So one day, when he saw the news broadcast saying that it was the object of the CIA's suspicion, Liu Yansong went to practice with satisfaction.
Liu Yansong didn't know what to say, the recent Federal Reserve incident involved the nerves of many people, at this time, a handsome young man somewhere in China was also surfing the Internet, he accidentally clicked on a certain website, and he also saw the news at once. Suddenly, this guy's face became gloomy, and he slapped the computer desk hard, "Fuck, the CIA of country M dares to black Lao Tzu"
The young man was furious, he sneered and turned off the news, and then quickly opened the official website of the Federal Reserve and watched it carefully. After reading the official news of the Federal Reserve, he opened the official website of the insurance company, and then the official website of the CIA of country M.
After reading all the information on several websites, the young people's emotions became calm, and these websites are now offering sky-high rewards, and the CIA of country M has issued a million-dollar mission to find witnesses.
Bounty missions are very popular in Western countries such as country M, and the young man groans in his heart, wondering who is so generous this time. Being able to empty the Federal Reserve's underground vault in Washington at once without leaving any traces means that the other party is either an immortal cultivator or an alien, and the other party definitely has a storage ring with a huge space when he reaches out.
Of course, it is also possible that many people worked together, and as for the other party's theft of gold, I am afraid it was also caused by the exercise of heptane. "Oh, no," the young man put his hand on his chin, feeling that things might not be what he imagined. Since the other party has a huge storage ring, then there is no need for him to steal gold, after all, gold can also be exercised heptane. Compared to if the other party wants to make money, it seems that it is not the best way to steal gold from the underground vault, after all, the gold is marked, and it is difficult to make a move
The young man guessed that there might be something else he hadn't thought of, so he became interested in his heart, "It seems that I came back too quickly last time." If I had known that this kind of thing had happened in the Lundao M Congress, I should have waited there for a few more days. No, I can't miss this excitement, maybe there will be some chance of it then."
