Chapter 684 The cat and the mouse
The phone call was called by Executive Anthony.
He is at the British Han Automobile Company, responsible for integrating the scientific research and development teams of Aston Martin and Maserati.
From the satellite communication channel rented by Wilson Telecom, Han Xuan did not dare to tell him about the Maldives. In this era, phone calls were easily monitored.
In the future, Snowden's documents provided by the telecommunications industry giant AT&T will provide assistance to the National Security Agency's large-scale network and telecommunications monitoring activities for more than 20 years, and other telecom operators are no exception.
As one of the important American families, Han Xuan feels that he can barely enter the surveillance list, which is not something to be happy about.
The old man reminded me a few months ago that he should be careful when calling in the future and not say important content on the phone. Maybe he has discovered something.
Commercial satellites that are about to be purchased from Germany will have independent communication channels, and it will only be possible to avoid surveillance from the US government. Although the price of satellites is higher than buying in the US, the advantage lies in safety.
This is not Han Xuan’s suspicion. Now the US government is indeed listening to the call content of important people around the world.
In the future, when they enter the era of comprehensive Internet, they will become more and more powerful, extending their hands to the top leaders of governments in various countries around the world and ordinary people. The power stipulated in the Constitution becomes a piece of paper.
Anthony just told that he had used more than 1.73 billion US dollars in the bank account of Han Xuan Huamei to short the Japanese stock market in more than a dozen world's large financial management institutions.
Even Citigroup, Morgan, Goldman Sachs and other companies could not afford this fund. After using leverage to amplify, the scale of shorting the Japanese stock market reached US$23.5 billion!
Over the past week, 23.5 billion US dollars of capital shrank into more than 22.7 billion US dollars as the Japanese stock market rose.
In other words, if the delivery is now, the more than 1.7 billion US dollars invested by Han Xuan will evaporate by about half.
This made Anthony very worried.
He asked someone and found no signs of turmoil in the top Japanese leaders.
Today is January 16, 1995.
Human society may have a butterfly effect different from that of Han Xuan.
But the earth itself does not. His personal influence on the earth is so weak that it is almost impossible to detect. If you remember correctly, there should be an earthquake in Hanshin in the past two days.
Han Xuan sent Anthony again, telling him to ignore it and continue to perform the original contract.
The first batch of customers who bought things on gg shopping website have received goods sent from the SoS Logistics Center, and the second batch and the third batch have also been delivered to customers one after another.
After discovering this novel business transaction model, the US credit evaluation agency gave the estimated market value of Hope Technology's subsidiary Gos Private P-Girl for the first time, and the first time it reached an astonishing $450 million!
There are currently only more than 90,000 users who have experienced online shopping. This shows how optimistic they are about the company's future development prospects, even exceeding the valuation of O chat software and Destiny Browser when it first came out.
It also shows that the market is very interested in technology stocks and has reached a crazy point. The prototype of a company can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is the prelude to the future Internet industry bubble.
Han Xuan was very satisfied with this.
Unfortunately, I learned that there was an executive from the financial department of the head office that since he entered the Xueshan Investment Company, he has embezzled more than 600,000 US dollars of public funds, which has ruined his good mood.
He believed that he had already paid a lot of money to the employees, and most of the salary of Xueshan Investment Company exceeded the standards of other companies. So Han Xuan asked Executive Anthony to throw the employee directly to the FBI's Commercial Crime Investigation Department to deal with.
It is estimated that he will not be able to get out of prison in less than five years, and he issued an announcement from all its companies, ordering all financial officials to investigate corruption and misappropriation, as a warning to the monkey.
The two discussed for more than an hour before the call ended.
Seeing Han Xuan put down his phone, Anya whispered: "Come here quickly, there is a big mouse!"
Han Xuan squatted beside her with a smile and looked at the place Anya pointed at. A big mouse was rummaging under the root of the betel nut tree for food, turned his head and said:
"There are many mice on the island of Maldives. It is said that the Maldives in ancient times believed that cats would bring disaster to them.
Therefore, from generation to generation, locals do not like to raise cats. This place is probably the only cat-free country in the world. Because of the religion and geographical environment it believes in, dogs and other livestock are not common.
Because mice have no natural enemies in the Maldives, the ecological environment has lost balance and the number of mice has grown rapidly.
When I first bought Pisces Island, there were more rats on this island. I used some mouse catching equipment last year, and this year it was pretty good."
"It's so scary. Why are people here afraid of kind cats?" Anya said to herself.
Touching the head of Fat Ding beside him, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Did you see that mouse? Go and catch it!"
Fat Ding's beard shook, took a few steps back, shook her head and pushed Han Xuan with her fleshy claws, signaling Han Xuan to catch him.
Looking at the expression on its face, it seemed that it was a little afraid of this mouse.
Han Xuan looked weak. Looking back, after raising it for so many years, Fat Ding had never caught a mouse.
Even the most common lemming in the snow-capped mountain pastures has never been caught.
Before cats were domesticated, they were small carnivorous animals. They were born with wild nature in their bones, so there was no reason not to catch mice.
He gave Anya a look and asked her to let her go to the side. Han Xuan picked up the fat Ding and threw it at the thick pile of dead leaves at the bottom of the tree root.
The mouse was not afraid of people. The retreat was blocked by the fat exotic short-haired cat who was standing stupidly after landing, and immediately bared his teeth and made a fierce look.
When Fat Ding came to his senses from the fright, he saw the mouse that was so close that he could kill him with a slap, and he ran back quickly!
Rolling and crawling up to the crooked coconut tree, lying on the trunk, hugging his head with his short legs.
Seeing this scene, Han Xuan's expression froze, and Anya also looked dull.
Watching the mouse run leisurely into the pineapple bushes
“My God, Fat Ding!
You don’t even know how simple it is to catch a mouse. You can do something other than eating!"
Han Xuan covered his face and didn't want to see this extremely weird cat again.
Fat Ding waved his claws on the tree trunk and meowed dissatisfiedly.
Justice and righteousness protested against the dangerous behavior of the owner throwing it out before, almost hitting the ugly mouse.
You're fine if you have a cleanliness
I waited until evening before returning from the beach. Local Maldives fishermen living on Pisces Island returned from sea and several small boats appeared in the sunset.
After seeing them, Han Xuan took Anya on the ATV and drove to the pier. (To be continued.)
