Chapter 705: NSA
"Telephone? You know, from the moment you returned to Miami, how many pairs of eyes were watching you secretly, and how many pairs of ears were eavesdropping on your phone calls and communications?" the woman rolled her eyes in annoyance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Li knew that what the other party said was the truth, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, you are reasonable, but when there are no outsiders in the office, why don't you have an interview, it has to be so complicated?"
"Office, do you think your office is safe?"
The woman sneered and pursed her lips, turned on the laptop on the table, briefly tapped the keyboard a few times, and turned the monitor around.
"Look, this is the company responsible for the renovation and decoration of the floor where your office is located, it has only been forty days since its establishment, and it has only received one contract, which is your company's share, and then it declared bankruptcy and closed down, doesn't it sound interesting?"
"What do you mean...... Is there a problem with this renovation company?" Lu Li subconsciously frowned and quickly browsed the information on the page.
I have to say that just from the price of the contract, this decoration company called DH is really not normal, to be precise, it is so cheap that it is far below the cost, unless there is some ulterior purpose, otherwise the normal company will never do this kind of 100% loss-making business.
You must know that the cost of renovation in the United States has always been known to be expensive, and most Americans either live in it as it is after buying a house, or decorate it themselves.
As for the decoration of commercial buildings and the like, they are usually tendered externally, and under the same conditions, whoever has the cheapest price will use whom.
Obviously, DH Renovation Company took advantage of the ultra-low price to stand out from its competitors and grab the renovation contract for the top floor of the building.
The woman took out a few photos and put them on the table, and then said with a smile: "What's the problem! We have secretly traced the source of funds behind this company, guess who is behind it?"
"Who is it?" Lu Li immediately turned his attention to the photo.
"This man is the titular owner of DH Renovation Company, and this person who is shaking his hand is an NSA employee. The woman gave a meaningful answer.
"NSA, the National Security Agency, the protagonist of the Prism Gate scandal?" Lu Li's face suddenly became ugly.
He couldn't believe that one day he would be targeted by the world's largest and most notorious intelligence-gathering organization.
The woman nodded slightly: "That's right! given your importance, it's not surprising that the NSA has activated your snooping." Maybe you don't know it well, since the U.S. Department of Defense launched the Black Hole program, your photos and materials have been placed on the desks of many national intelligence agencies and leaders, so you are in a dangerous situation now, and my task is to secretly protect you and provide necessary intelligence support by the way. ”
When Lu Li heard the news, he didn't feel very good, and he held his forehead and continued to ask: "How did that bullshit black hole plan leak out? How did I get involved?"
The woman replied without hesitation: "It's very simple! According to the normal process of the US Department of Defense, if you want to study something, you first need to write a detailed plan to apply for funding, and then go through layers of review, and finally when the funds are in place, the project will be officially approved."
You can imagine how many procedures this process needs to go through, and how many people are responsible for approval, is it strange to leak ** in the middle?
As a matter of fact, most of the US military scientific research projects are not kept secret from the outside world, and what they keep secret is the results of their research.
As for why you were involved, it has not yet been investigated, but I can assure you that it is definitely not the news that we leaked. ”
"Shit the U.S. government! I knew these guys weren't trustworthy at all. Lu Li really couldn't hold back, and burst into a foul mouth.
Obviously, there are only two countries that know about the Black Dracaena Tree, and now it is not their responsibility to promise one face-to-face, so it is naturally the responsibility of the other.
After all, leaking secrets in the United States is nothing new, not to mention that in today's network information age, even the "Manhattan Project," which was classified as top secret, was also easily stolen by the Soviets.
As it turned out, the famous Albert Einstein was nothing more than a mortal.
Seduced by the KGB "swallow" Margarita Konekova, he not only repeatedly dissuaded the US president from giving up nuclear weapons, but also took the initiative to hand over a large amount of relevant technology and materials to the enemies of the United States.
Perhaps sensing Lu Li's dissatisfaction with the U.S. government, the woman immediately cautiously probed: "Since you don't like the U.S. government, why don't you come back and develop? What the U.S. government can give you, we can also give you." ”
"No, you can't give me what I want. Lu Li shook his head thoughtlessly.
Perhaps this sentence would have been considered for staying in the country when he had just been given the door a few months ago.
But now, he has tasted the use of capital to control power, and he will certainly not be willing to put an extra sword of Damocles on his head.
In a way, China and the United States are like two sides of the same coin.
The former adopts the goal of putting capital in a cage and maintaining national stability by strictly controlling the flow and expansion of capital.
The latter, on the other hand, puts rights in a cage and uses strict restrictions on government power to ensure that capital can expand and flow unchecked.
The woman obviously didn't understand the thoughts in Lu Li's mind, and retorted directly: "Funds, policy support, social status, how do you know that we can't give it to you if you don't say it?"
Seeing that the other party was still not giving up, Lu Li couldn't help but smile and waved his hand to explain: "What you said may be tempting, but it ignores a premise.
That is, the United States is a country where capital controls the government, and domestically it is a country where the government controls capital.
Do you understand the essential difference between the two?
The difference lies in the fact that one is that the state serves capital, and the other is that capital serves the state.
Although it sounds similar, the essence is indeed diametrically opposed to the two systems and economic structures.
The U.S. government, for example, has no assets in its name, so it has very little influence on the economy, and it is the Federal Reserve, which is composed of private bankers, that can really affect the U.S. economy.
But what about domestically?
The government holds more than 100 billion yuan in assets, controls a series of the most important industries including energy, transportation, communications, etc., and has more ability to intervene in the economy than any other country in the world.
This is why, when the global financial crisis broke out, the domestic economy could be forcibly boosted by investing in infrastructure, while other countries could only stare dryly.
Can you imagine that, even excluding direct policy intervention, is there any private company in the world that can withstand its impact in terms of capital strength alone?
The answer is yes, no.
It is precisely because of its size that while resisting the erosion of transnational capital groups, it also seems that private capital lacks a sense of security, and the flight of private capital is the best example.
Do you think people like me will stay in a country where capital controls power, or will they choose to go back and accept the state's constraints on capital?"
