Chapter 147: TEP's Signboard
Boston, North America.
On the snowy streets, three or two fashionably dressed young men occasionally hurried by.
It was a recent graduate from MIT and Harvard University on the other side of the river, who came out to find a job.
On one side of this riverside boulevard, there are many office buildings or corporate headquarters of famous companies.
These include General Electric, Bain Capital, Time Warner (CNN), North American Tower, Akamai Technologies, Fidelity Investments, Boston Medical Devices, BCG Boston Consortium, ......
Ten o'clock in the morning.
At the age of 30, Zhang Wei, who became the head of the criminal investigation team, wore a leather jacket and stood next to a second-hand Ford SUV, moving his frozen feet while observing around.
He is from the East and has two tasks at hand.
Track down the whereabouts of Zeng Dahe's father-in-law's funds, and hunt down Yu Zhendong, who was exposed for cracking down on the underground.
The former does not know how much money is involved, and the latter has transferred at least 480 million US dollars.
Taken together, the total amount of funds fled from the country is conservatively estimated at 1 billion US dollars.
The huge value made Zhang Wei and the action team feel pressured.
Especially in North America, where everyone is now just a 'tourist', not a law enforcer, and the target of the pursuit immigrated here with money, but he is a legal citizen, and there is no extradition agreement between the East and North America, and Interpol is just a decoration......
How to find the other party, how to arrest them, how to recover the funds, and how to bring them back are all big problems.
This morning, Zhang Wei was going to go to Wharton Sheng to find his embassy in North America to ask for help, but just after leaving the hotel, he suddenly received a message asking him to come to 69 Charles Riverside Avenue in Boston, saying that he had something in his hand and might be able to help a friend from the East.
Zhang Wei's first reaction was that the action team was being targeted.
Subsequently, it was suspected that this was a trap set up by fugitives.
But when I checked the address, it turned out to be the North American Tower Company.
Zhang Wei had heard of this company, and its reputation was not very good.
Either the chairman has a scandal, or the general manager is in the office, or the shareholders are blatantly engaging in same-sex ......
Of course, that's just CNN's word for it.
Specifically, Zhang Wei is not clear.
According to intelligence from domestic investigations.
North America Tower is wholly owned by TEP and has since been delisted.
It has 1,800 single-tube towers of 15~50 meters, with computer rooms and yards, and a single tower is worth 500,000 US dollars, which is mainly leased to radio broadcasting, communication companies, navigation companies, etc.
There are 900 30~80 meter trilateral angle steel towers, with computer rooms and yards, mainly distributed in mountainous areas and villages, with the same function and value.
There are 600 large iron towers of 80~150 meters of quadrangular angle steel, with computer rooms and yards, and a single seat is worth 1 million US dollars, which is mainly used for wireless signal broadcasting and cross-regional information transmission.
In addition, there are 25 satellite base stations and aerospace receiving stations, each of which is worth 15 million US dollars.
Total assets of $2.6 billion.
The overall debt is 1.7 billion US dollars.
Compared with the information that existed three months ago, the updated information can be said to have changed dramatically.
In addition, the company is rumored to be building 50 communication towers per day, taking over the business related to Canada, and preparing to acquire the North American power tower, which has 12,000 power towers
In general, this is a very scary infrastructure enterprise in the field of communications.
In addition, the other party has a very close relationship with the Boston Police Department, has ties with overseas bases in North America, has ulterior secrets with Bain Capital, and has some business dealings with Carlyle Investments.
And its chairman James, and the new Hongqi factory director Xu Fei, have a better personal relationship.
This made Zhang Wei realize that the other party let him come here, which was very likely related to Zeng Dahe's father-in-law's case.
As for why the other party found him and where he got his contact information......
There must be an inner ghost, let's talk about it when I go back to make a report.
Not much.
In the distance came a tall, thin man with blond hair and blue eyes, and a chubby, white-skinned policeman.
The tall and thin man should be James, the head of TEP (North America) and the chairman of the North American Tower Corporation.
The chubby policeman should be called David, according to intelligence, the other party has recently solved strange cases, and has been upgraded again and again, and is the most popular white-skinned sheriff in Boston, who is humorous and enthusiastic, but has huge strength, is extremely fast, and has a marksmanship hit rate of up to 100%...... Selling dogs part-time as an amateur.
"Hey, Zhang?"
"Yes, Mr. James."
"Why don't you wait for us at the company because of the damn weather?"
"I never believed that text messages were real."
"Then you're here anyway."
"There's no way, it's tight from above."
"Let's go, my company is very good."
Zhang Wei followed James into the tower company's headquarters.
The red-brick office building looks old, but retains the style of Boston's early years.
In the hall on the first floor, there are two strange creatures, one gold and one silver, and there are many gold and silver jewels piled up around, coral agate, and the overall atmosphere is particularly sacred.
Hanging on the walls are huge maps of North America, marking the locations of numerous towers, as well as projects under construction or new projects that are about to begin.
At the front desk are three men and two women with five Chinese faces, and in the distance is a row of plumbers with burly bodies who are still Chinese faces?
Zhang Wei carefully looked at the latter, especially the work card on his chest, and finally determined that it was not a plumber, but an engineer, more than 50 people.
They gathered in groups of three or five, or dismantling the tututu, or maintaining the small biubiu, and even a few people were tinkering with two heavy duangduangduang......
James sat on the leather couch in the hall and took out his cigar to signal to the two of them.
Zhang Wei waved his hand, "Sorry, I don't smoke." ”
"This thing isn't for smoking, it's for containing."
Police David said, lit one by himself, and took out a few pages of information from the document bag, "Zhang, I know the purpose of your coming to North America, I can assure you that except for me and James, no one will help you, and no one will want to help you." ”
"I understand, I don't know what you two need me to do?"
"You don't have to pay too much, as long as you invite your TV station, I'll let you bring these people back."
Zhang Wei looked at the information, ten pages of paper, it happened to be Zeng Dahe's father-in-law's family, neat and tidy, a lot.
Including mother-in-law, brother-in-law and wife, brother-in-law and wife, three nephews, and Zeng Dahe's two sons.
Looking at the background, it seems to be trapped on a farm peeling garlic.
Strange, isn't this group of people in Canada?
It is rumored that there are three villas of more than 1,000 square meters and various luxury cars......
And, why is it in debt of more than 50 million US dollars?
"They went to Las Vegas, they lost all their money, they lost their villas, and they were a little mentally deranged."
“……”
"I heard that there is a psychiatrist in Lincheng, and in the spirit of humanitarianism, we invited Director Yang over, and the third course of treatment has been carried out, and the effect is not very good."
“……”
Zhang Wei was numb.
Next to Harvard, MIT, as well as the famous Tufts and Brandeis University, you went to Dongshan to hire a psychiatrist I don't know, are you sure it's reliable?
"Zhang, you can bring them back to the East, but there is a financier who asked to be on the news, you know, if our police department wants to improve its business capabilities, it must rely on social donations, and the financier gave us a police dog worth 5 million US dollars, we can't refuse."
"What kind of news?"
"Your highest ratings."
"I need to debrief."
"It doesn't matter, if it is achieved, I will send you a copy of the information about Yu Zhendong, but half of the 480 million US dollars in his hand has been lost in Las Vegas."
“……”
At this time, James, who had not spoken, got up and clapped his hands, "Work hard, find a few more, and invest in hundreds or thousands of more towers!" ”
"Good boss!" The engineers grabbed their backpacks and rushed out.
Suddenly.
One of them, a brawny man with a scruffy beard, looked back at Police David.
"Hey, fatty, the $100,000 you owe me should be repaid."
"I'm sorry, big brother, can you wait for me to pay my salary tomorrow?"
"Wait a day at most, or you won't want your hands anymore!"
Zhang Wei listened to the conversation, looked at the famous Boston police David, and then secretly glanced at the more than fifty burly and strong engineers, and suddenly understood how the money and the villa were lost.
A strong sense of urgency immediately arises.
If this group of people set their sights on Yu Zhendong and take all the fleeing funds to build the iron tower, he is afraid that he will not be able to recover a penny.
At this moment, Zhang Wei suddenly understood why the North American Tower had undergone earth-shaking changes in just two months.
………………
Beijing, a courtyard.
On the brand new LCD TV screen, Huaxia News is playing.
'On February 27, our first batch of main offenders for illegal transfer of funds...... Secondary offenders...... and the main culprit in the first financial case...... Repatriated ......'
'The capital has done important work instructions......
In the matter of the red flag, Lan Feng was forced to make an opening, causing many people to want to get in.
Those who have already gotten into it are naturally happy.
And those who can't get in, whether they are Lan Feng or Xu Fei, are all dissatisfied.
Especially when I heard that my children had just arrived in Daze, they were enforced by the rules of Huangnigang, and a group of people almost exploded.
The reason why Xu Fei has achieved what he is today is that he relies on the resources of TEP.
Strauss visited, took the opportunity to put some eye medicine, and gave TEP some benefits, prompting the other party to fire Xu Fei, is it not at the mercy of the future ?
It's a pity that the old man Strauss, in the face of the olive branch handed out by everyone, just looked at everyone carefully, and then smiled and said nothing.
At first, the crowd didn't understand what it meant.
I watched the news today, and then I took a closer look at the picture......
What electroshock therapy, what silent therapy, what little black house therapy, what peerless therapy, what peeling garlic therapy......
Everyone who knew that Zeng Dahe's mother-in-law lived in a villa and drove a luxury car instantly understood.
This old man is not only ruthless, but also very protective of calves.
………………
The east side of Osawa Power.
A steel structure glass house is located on the side of the provincial road.
The upper and lower floors are made of carbon steel, the top is equipped with lightning rods, and a signboard is set up at the door: Daze Industrial Research Office.
There is a bulletin board in the hall, and in the leadership area, there are busts of Director Gong, Director Shang, Director Liu, and Director Xu.
At this moment, on the screen spliced by six monitors, Huaxia News is playing.
Xu Fei sat in the brand-new office and watched quietly.
From the beginning, he never gave up looking for the funds transferred by Zeng Dahe's father-in-law.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent so many people to the Boston Police Department, let alone recruited so many hackers.
Moreover, the bank flow that Lao Xu got, Zeng Dahe's father-in-law can only be regarded as a whisker on a towering tree.
And the so-called 'towering trees'.
In 97 years, more than 20 billion US dollars were transferred.
In 98 years, more than 30 billion US dollars.
In the middle of 99, when the Lao Xu incident broke out, 20 billion US dollars had already flowed out.
If you add all of these together, it is estimated that the money you spend on oil is not even a fraction.
Therefore, Lao Xu did not die, it is simply a double embodiment of strength and luck.
And if you remove what was spent, remove the expenditure in the search process, even if you find half of it, it is enough to build North American Tower into a world-class infrastructure enterprise + communication company.
Of course, these funds have been legalized overseas, and it will take some means to get them back.
Fortunately, the leaked information of the bank statement includes the account numbers of HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Shirui Bank, etc.
Bring up the hacking technology and give the NSA a hard time, maybe you can get more information.
However, this matter should be done slowly and quietly......
Xu Fei picked up the remote control, switched programs, and enjoyed the sequel to Journey to the West.
As for why the office.
He didn't want to.
Originally, in the workshop office, I had a lot of fun with the little secretaries, but suddenly a young and capable little girl in a small suit came, claiming to be the secretary's assistant.
Do we have a secretary here?
Lan Feng went abroad, definitely not.
But the other party said in a heartfelt manner that after waiting for two years, he finally got a job, how could he not accept it?
Then I burst into tears.
Xu Fei thought about it seriously, asked a few more questions, and took out the letter of appointment issued by Lan Feng yesterday.
Honorary manager of Ze City, it's useless.
The deputy director of the Zeshi Securities Association is even more useless.
Then all that was left was the head of the Zeshi Youth League.
Xu Fei boarded the forum and asked the almighty netizens.
Stunned on the spot.
What a great position!
Then he followed the advice of the fourth secretary and hurriedly set up a proper office.
Immediately afterwards, the leaders of the Youth Federation took the lead in arriving and said that they would report on their work and meet the new leaders by the way.
Xu Fei didn't know what to say, drank a cup of tea, understood the situation, donated 500,000 red money, and sent the leader away.
Looking back, just as he was about to find his superiors to resign, a group of leaders came and accompanied more than 50 red-scarf teenagers in tattered clothes, saying that they were the vanguard of the impoverished county next door.
Xu Fei hurriedly dispatched two trucks of stationery and five trucks of school uniforms to send each other back.
I took out my mobile phone and didn't have time to call the superior number.
Immediately after that, a large group rushed in.
There are youth groups at various counties, youth volunteers at all levels, youth cultural palaces at all levels, and youth travel agencies at all levels......
There are even youth newspapers, youth rights protection, charity and public welfare ......
"Uncle Xu, I heard that you are the leader, and someone in our class beat me, do you care!"
"Uncle Xu, the little chubby dun in your village, blocked me in the small alley after school and robbed me of my pocket money......"
"Uncle Xu, my father beat me, the kind that hangs me up, have you ever felt it?"
Even the dolls of Huangnigang Primary School are running to do things after school.
Xu Fei sat in the office for a whole day, physically and mentally exhausted.
In the end, it was decided that the fourth secretary would transfer the heads of the youth leagues from each county tomorrow to solve the problem together.
After getting off work in the evening, the big secretary came and took the fourth child to the dormitory to get a meal card......
Xu Fei picked up a few buns from the big cafeteria, filled his stomach indiscriminately, and went to the car certification area.
The European Alliance certification team led by Enamel has arrived, and the North American side has airlifted the prototype over and Raymond has helped apply for it.
The former is a transaction, and the latter is a collaboration.
Diesel engine model certification is basically not a problem.
In the end, whether it can be exported overseas depends on the performance of Lan Dong.
…………
South Sticks.
Incheon Airport.
Five Black Hawks landed one after another, and three Apache hovered in mid-air.
A moment later, the infantry vehicle, like a long snake, stopped outside the airport, and countless North American GIs rushed out in all directions.
The passengers who came and went were instantly frightened, thinking that the North American governor was coming, and they pulled over one after another.
Not much.
Lan Feng stepped off the plane with a dazed expression.
Can anyone tell me where this is?
