The Boston Consortium wo n’t last long.
It's not because they don't have money. On the contrary, they are very rich and have wealth that most people can't imagine. Since the 1950s, the scientific research results of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been used to develop emerging technology industries and complete the transformation from the textile industry to electronics, optics, radar, missiles, and even aerospace. If you calculate the actual wealth control, I am afraid that ten bills Gates is also difficult to be his opponent, after all, Bill Gates is only one person, and these consortia are even more than one family.
For such a huge economic behemoth, banks are not their hematopoietic stem cells, but they are a more important heart! If the heart goes wrong, huge financial and industrial systems will face the risk of tight capital chains.
So as soon as the running tide emerged, the Boston Consortium ’s offensive against the Futurist Group suddenly stagnate, and there was no next move for a long time. The antitrust investigation did hurt the Future Group, but it was far less painful than the one they suffered at Boston First National Bank.
Both sides are like boxers standing on the ring. Everyone knows that it is impossible to punch each other down with one punch, only to weigh their respective gains and losses, and hesitate to take the next punch.
Manor in suburban Boston.
At this moment, the people standing in this house have one-tenth of the power in the entire United States. The heads of the five major families of Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, Kennedy, and Rocky gathered here, including big capitalists, Federal Reserve shareholders, and Min. Main Party members ...
For the common good, they gathered together.
"It's so deceiving! I bet that the depositor information leak must have been a ghost!" John Lawrence punched the table and gritted his teeth.
"I think so too, but we have no evidence and no clues were found on the FBI side." Bernie Adams said helplessly.
"How did they do it? Websense is responsible for the information security of the First National Bank of Boston. If their hackers can hack our servers, then they have no reason to hack the Pentagon." Mr. Lowell It also frowned.
Since Raytheon spent $ 1.9 billion to acquire Websense, the Boston Consortium ’s industry has been protected by this cybersecurity company. Because the business involves the military industry, the consortium ’s servers are subject to many attacks each year, but no attack has ever been successful.
"I will remind the Pentagon." Adams said.
"Enough is enough, my friends, what we should worry about now is not the Pentagon, but the Future Group!" Lawrence said with a headache.
"Saudi Arabia's freshwater project cannot give in." Joseph Kennedy replied.
“But our garment factory in Texas needs funding, Raytheon ’s radar project at Guam ’s military base, and orders from Bell Helicopter and the Pentagon.” Lowell glanced at Joseph. “Although I know that the Saudi Freshwater Project is important to you, but now it seems ... If we continue to fight with the Future Group, even if we will eventually win, the losses suffered by the consortium will be unbearable for us. "
"I agree with Mr. Lowell." Bernie Adams nodded.
"I can't accept it." John Lawrence shook his head. "If we compromise with them, where will our face rest?"
"Come on, Mr. Lawrence, we are businessmen. The gains and losses in the business are nothing. If you really ca n’t swallow this breath, we can wait to clean them up later. But for now, it ’s best to take a break. At least in the area of cyber security, we must upgrade! "Lodge, who had not spoken, said.
"Then, according to the usual practice, raise your hand to vote. For our long-term covenant, no matter what choice we make in the end, even if it is a choice I don't want to accept, I will contribute my strength to the alliance. Then ... … For reconciliation, please raise your hand. ”After that, Lowell glanced at the four people present and raised his hand.
The result of the vote is three to two.
In favor of reconciliation.
"Who comes in contact with them?" Although the decision made by the consortium was not in line with the interests of his family, John Kennedy's face was not dissatisfied.
"Let's go." Lodge looked around at the people present and said, "I am the majority shareholder of Boston First National Bank. It is more appropriate for me to come forward."
......
Although the major consortia that control the US economy are usually harmonious, there is no such thing as harmony in the business. It is normal for one side to reach out and reach out in all directions.
The Bank of Boston has an accident, but Citibank and ********** have announced the upgrade of the bank's security system to ensure the safety of each depositor's personal information. Such an approach is undoubtedly suspected of falling into the trap, and the big consortium is not easy to do too much. So, on the third day when network information security became a topic, the Fed took action.
According to the latest news from the Wall Street Journal, the Fed injected $ 100 billion into the Bank of Boston to stabilize depositor confidence. At the same time, the Bank of Boston announced the upgrade of the security system to ensure that such incidents will not happen again, and some of the losses have been recovered.
Just as far as the Wall Street investors were concerned, the investors in Wall Street were so disappointed in order to digest the two important messages of "Boston Bank depositor information leak" and "Futureman technology may withdraw from the United States." .
Standing beside the launch site, Jiang Chen watched the rocket lift off, watching the plume of solid smoke dissipate, and the corner of his mouth gradually evoked a smile.
As a result, there are twelve quantum communication satellites in outer space.
"You still have time to watch fireworks?" Standing next to Jiang Chen, Natasha teased.
"Oh? It seems that even Russia knows we have a small conflict with the Boston Consortium." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Of course, you are now on the list of the CIA's key investigations. They think that the person who hacked the Boston First Bank is you, and your true identity is actually an IT engineer who is proficient in computer technology."
"This conjecture is very interesting, but unfortunately, my computer level is only second-level." Jiang Chen laughed, avoiding Natasha's temptation, "Don't say this, you think our rocket launch technology How? "
Natasha will appear at the rocket launch site of Star Ring Trade, which of course cannot be for personal reasons. The rocket launch technology of Xinghuan Trading has matured. In order to digest the excess launch resources, Jiang Chen set his sights on Russia.
Because of the reduction in the total budget and changes in exchange rates, the Russian Aerospace Corporation was forced to reduce the maintenance cost of the International Space Station by nearly 30 billion rubles (US $ 1 is about 75 rubles) from 2016 to 2025. Since Russia maintains a high maintenance fee for the space station, the Star Ring Trade can just share its worries.
Not only can you earn extra money, let Xinghuan trade be self-financed as soon as possible, but also accumulate the experience of supplying the space station.
How can Jiang Chen not do such a good thing?
However, Natasha's answer made Jiang Chen's surprise.
"If you are willing to sell rocket engines, we can talk about this. If you are planning to contract this project ... My answer may have disappointed you." Natasha sighed and spread her hand. , "We will not contract this project to foreign aerospace companies, this matter has nothing to say." (To be continued.)
