Chapter 357: JPMorgan Chase's Choice (Part I)
At midnight, the Polik Financial Boulevard is still brightly lit, and although many buildings are empty, there are still many high-end hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, bars, nightclubs, etc., which continue to open, providing rich and luxurious enjoyment for the social elite after a busy day.

It is the most prosperous business area in the whole of Miami, and it is also the second largest wealth center in the United States after Wall Street in New York, gathering a large number of internationally renowned enterprises, especially banks, trust funds, venture capital companies and other financial institutions, known as the "Manhattan of the South".
As the nation's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co. has a sizable branch here and is primarily responsible for developing financial services in the southern states of the United States and South America.
But at this moment, most of the employees in the office building have already left work, and only a few core executives are left to sit in the conference room without saying a word, as if waiting for news.
A beautiful young assistant sat on a chair outside the conference room, yawned tiredly, and whispered to her colleagues, "Damn it! Claire! Do you know what they're talking about? ”
"Karina, when you're tired, lie down and rest for a while, but don't fall asleep. When I went in to pour my coffee, I happened to hear Mr. Brad mention Elebe Biotech, and if nothing else, I think it was intended to raise money. Another middle-aged woman in her forties replied, pinching her sore neck.
"Is it the company that has been making headlines lately, and is said to have invented a fruit that can cure all terminal diseases?" asked the female assistant known as Karina, with wide eyes.
Claire nodded lightly: "That's right! Mr. Brad went out this afternoon, as if to make contact with the other party, judging from the current situation, the high-level investment intention is very obvious, and I estimate that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars." ”
Karina's sleepiness was swept away in an instant, and her mouth opened wide in surprise: "Oh-God! I heard the news that the registered capital of that company was less than 20 million, and it has increased more than ten times in less than a month?! The world is so unfair! We work hard for a salary of 6,000 US dollars a month, but some people can easily earn hundreds of millions." ”
"Silly girl, be content, you must know that there are many poor people in Miami who earn less than two thousand dollars, and you have just graduated from college and you are worth years of hard work. What's more, working at JPMorgan Chase often comes into contact with some wealthy people, and if you are lucky enough to be favored by one of them, you can immediately get out of the sea of misery and enter high society. Remember, make the most of the most beautiful moments in your life, or it will be too late to think about them when you get old and ugly like me. ”
With that, Claire took her coffee and drank it down, continuing to use caffeine to stimulate her nerves and ward off drowsiness.
"Haha! I'd like to come! It's a pity that there are still any rich people who have shown interest in me so far, otherwise you think I'd still squatting here and staying up all night?" Karina said, unbuttoning her shirt and letting her tight chest go for air.
At this moment, a middle-aged man carrying a silver lockbox suddenly pushed the door in from the outside and walked straight towards the conference room.
Claire hurriedly stood up, trotted briskly in her high heels, blocked in front of the other party, and stopped: "Sir, sorry, you can't go in!"
"Get out of the way!"
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, pushed it away, pushed it open and rushed into the conference room by himself.
"Fack!"
Claire, who almost sprained her ankle, cursed under her breath and quickly rushed in after her.
However, when she just crossed the threshold, she was surprised to find that the executives were not panicked at all, but nodded to greet the intruder.
Brad obviously noticed the female assistant's stunned expression, and explained with a smile: "Don't be nervous, he is his own person." You can now go out, and the next thing to discuss is trade secrets. ”
"Yes!"
As a veteran employee of JPMorgan Chase Bank for nearly a decade, Claire naturally understood what the word trade secret meant, which meant at least hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions, so she shut her mouth and walked away.
As soon as she left with her front foot, Brad couldn't wait to ask with her back foot: "Schneider, what are the results of the test?"
Without saying a word, the middle-aged man named Schneider opened the lockbox on the spot, took out a mobile hard drive from it, plugged it into the computer in the conference room, and then enlarged a document with pictures on the wall through a projector.
I saw him take a deep breath, point to the four comparison photos, and introduce: "Everyone, please take a look, please pay attention to these two experimenters."
The first is Earl, a male, 64-year-old, black African who entered the country illegally.
The other is Sasha, a 55-year-old female who also entered the country illegally.
After ingesting the mysterious white oval object, their body structure changes drastically, whether it is their body, skin, wrinkles, or cell division rate, they have been greatly improved, which is what we often call rejuvenation.
According to the physical examination, this incredible change is limited to muscle and epidermal cell tissues, and does not include the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and internal organs.
That is, the unknown thing that makes a person look younger and healthier than they really are, but it doesn't really cure disease and prolong life.
However, as a beauty product, it can completely throw off more than a dozen streets of existing products, and no toxic side effects have been found for the time being, and the commercial value is huge.
I bet a rich woman who loves beauty will definitely break her head for it. ”
"How does it work?" said Brad, interrupting the other man's impassioned description, getting to the heart of the matter.
A wry smile appeared on Schneider's face, and he replied helplessly: "I'm sorry, we don't know the principle at all, and we can't even observe what is inside that translucent diaphragm." ”
Another executive, apparently dissatisfied with this answer, frowned and asked, "Please explain, what does it mean to be unobservable? You don't have a lot of high-tech equipment, are these things just decorations?"
"As the name suggests, the simple explanation is that when the outer diaphragm is cut, the substance inside will evaporate in just a few seconds and disappear into the air as if it had never existed.
Even with the world's most advanced electron microscope, it can only be observed for a moment, and then it is gone, and it is impossible to study at all.
Another point is very noteworthy, that is, the epidermal structure of this thing is one-piece, and there is no gap at all, and it can even filter the scanning of all scientific instruments such as X-ray, infrared, and thermal imaging, if it is applied in the military field......"
In the end, Schneider deliberately dragged out a long note, and his two eyes released a chilling light, and the meaning of the words was self-evident.
