Chapter 61: The Black Hand
"Ling, you have to make a decision immediately, Stark Industries' stock is about to rise, whether the stock in your hand should be delivered immediately." James Dean was on the other end of the phone, constantly urging: "Although we only used fifteen times the leverage this time, if the stock of Stark Industries skyrockets today, your insurance money is likely to be exhausted, and then you will be forced to close the position." ”
"There's no hurry." Ling Xiao's voice was firm and decisive, he licked his somewhat chapped lips, and said, "Listen to me, wait another hour, and after an hour, if the stock still rises, we will settle it immediately." ”
"Are you sure you want to do that?" James Dean said with some anxiety, an hour, an hour of change may be ice and fire.
"Listen to me." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "There are three forces in the market that are shorting Stark Industries, whether it is Hammer Industries, or Obadiah Stein, or those investors on Wall Street, it is impossible for them to watch the stock rise like this, and the power of individual customers will be launched in time, and it will take a certain amount of time." ”
Ling Xiao understands this truth, but there is no reason why James Dean doesn't understand, he is just pursuing the maximization of interests.
"Listen to me, James!" Of course, Ling Xiao knew Dean's kindness, and he continued to explain: "Although Tony Stark has only been able to come back from Iraq, who can guarantee that his body is really fine, wait a while, maybe Tony Stark will go straight to the hospital after getting off the plane, and it is not so easy for Stark Industries' stock to rise." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." James Dean didn't understand why Ling Xiao was so confident, but he still agreed to Ling Xiao's approach, after all, the money was Ling Xiao's, and he had fulfilled his obligation to remind.
What's more, although Ling Xiao's words are far-fetched, there is still some truth, whether it is the media or the stock market, the events that have settled are not interested, they prefer turbulence, it is uncertain, if Stark's physical condition is really not as optimistic as Ling Xiao said, then Stark Industries' stock will continue to fluctuate lower.
"What, are you shorting Stark Industries stock?" Beckett stood behind Ling Xiao and asked in some surprise. After Ling Xiao answered a phone call in front of him just now, he hurriedly went upstairs and turned on the TV, and when she heard what Ling Xiao said, she naturally understood everything.
"Short, you're looking too highly of me." Ling Xiao hung up the phone, smiled calmly, and said, "I'm just following the big families to make a little money in the back, and now the trouble has come." ”
"Okay." Beckett glanced at the TV screen, which was full of scenes of Tony Stark being helped off the plane, Beckett swallowed what he was about to say, and said with some disappointment: "Okay, you're busy, I might have to leave." ”
"Wait, Kate, don't be in a hurry." Ling Xiao hurriedly called Beckett out and said with a helpless smile: "All I need to do now is to wait patiently, and many things can't be interfered with." ”
"I don't know much about these things in the stock market." Beckett sat down on the sofa next to her, she pondered for a moment, and then said in a heavy tone: "Ling Xiao, it's not so easy to deal with the Nissin Society, the Gangster Crime Investigation Department has a team dedicated to investigating the Nissin Society. But over the years, except for some minor minions who have been arrested, it is difficult for real high-level personnel to have actual evidence to initiate accusations. I hope that you can help me gather some evidence about the large-scale smuggling, drug trafficking, and murder of the Nissin Society through the Chinese gangsters, so that I can intervene in the name of justice. ”
Beckett still plans to find a way to solve the Nissin meeting from the official side, which is actually a good thing for Ling Xiao, so that he doesn't have to worry too much about Beckett's safety.
After all, it is not the economic depression of more than a decade ago, when crime is rampant, corruption is rampant, and killing a policeman is not a big deal.
But now it's different, the means of information and communication in the online media are extremely developed, once a senior police officer like Beckett is killed, it is strange that the media does not hype it crazy, and if someone provides some inside information at this time, I am afraid that the life of the Nissin will be very difficult.
So the rules of the game are now very different from those of more than ten years, as long as Beckett does everything according to the procedure, Nissin will easily move her, of course, if Nissin will be forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, that's another matter.
"According to the rules, Beckett, some unique information that only the Chinese gangsters themselves have is not allowed to be disclosed." Ling Xiao knocked lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I will try to choose some information that can help you and know more people to provide you with, so that it will be easier for you to explain in the future." ”
"Okay, that's it." Beckett knew Ling Xiao's scruples, if some inexplicable information reached her hands, once she went to court in the future, she would have to explain these things clearly, and it would be difficult for Ling Xiao to get out of it, and she would even be asked to testify in court.
This is what Ling Xiao doesn't want to see, he has to put himself out, he is used to keeping a low profile, and he doesn't want to put himself in the public eye, which will bring him a lot of trouble.
"I'll let you know when I get the information, just remember not to forget to turn it on." Ling Xiao watched Beckett stand up and leave, and quickly followed suit, and said at the same time, "I'm sorry, Catherine, the previous incident about the robbery didn't help you. ”
"It's fine." Beckett smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "There are really not many places where you can intervene in that case, and it is not easy for those robbers scattered all over California to be able to arrest most of them." Alright, it's time for me to go. ”
"Well, goodbye, Catherine, rest well, you see your dark circles are coming out." Ling Xiao said with a serious face and some concern.
"Ahh Beckett subconsciously touched her eyes, but she quickly paused slightly as if she had thought of something, and then slapped Ling Xiao on the shoulder, causing her pain for a while.
"You little brat, you still know how to tease my sister and me." Beckett laughed and cursed, then turned around and walked to his car, waving his hand backwards and saying, "Okay, goodbye Lingxiao, keep in touch." ”
"Goodbye, Beckett!" Ling Xiao stood at the door and watched Beckett drive away, then turned around and went back to the pharmacy. He flipped over the open sign on the door of the pharmacy, then turned around and went straight to the second floor.
On the TV on the second floor, the news that Tony Starka was going to hold a press conference was playing, and Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh softly.
Shortly after Beckett left Ling's pharmacy, in an unnamed villa in Los Angeles, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was gathering a group of people for a meeting, when suddenly, a man in a gray suit who looked like a bodyguard walked in from outside and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
The middle-aged man nodded lightly and said to his subordinates, "Okay, today's meeting will be held here first, and you all go down." ”
The middle-aged man seemed to be very majestic, and after he finished speaking, none of the more than a dozen people questioned half a sentence, so he came out respectfully.
When there were only two middle-aged men and bodyguards left in the office, the middle-aged man walked to the wide floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery in front of him, and took out a cigar and smoked it.
After a long time, the middle-aged man who had been thinking for a long time whispered: "Since Kate Beckett can't move, then start with that nosy kid named Ling Xiao and warn her." Tell Zhixuan that this matter is for him to solve by hand, and I don't want more things to get out of my control. ”
"Yes, sir." The bodyguard answered, then turned around and went down to make arrangements, leaving only the middle-aged man standing alone in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
