"Mr. Cai, something big happened." Less than two days after the FBI seized SAL's American Investment Fund Company, Liao Mengna, the director of SAL's public relations, hurriedly found Cai Siqiang with a copy. "Mr. Cai, look at the Times magazine published today. They published a long special article to discredit our Boss Du, describing Boss Du as an insatiable financial ambition, with extremely sinister intentions. I think the company must take action immediately, otherwise this will have a huge negative impact on our company."

Cai Siqiang took over a magazine that exuded the smell of ink in Liao Mengna. On the cover was a close-up photo of Duke. "The Other Side of Genius" was printed prominently next to the photo as the finale of this issue.

This is the latest masterpiece of Bob Calvin, a famous financial columnist of Time magazine. It is a long special topic written specifically for Time magazine. In this tens of thousands of words, Bob Calvin claims to have cited reliable information from his hands to reveal another side of Dr. Duke for readers.

In his article, the shareholder information of Dr. Duke's company is fully disclosed. Through the method of tracing the roots, Bob Calvin listed a very detailed company shareholder map for these overseas offshore financial investment companies under Duke, and made it very detailed that the bosses behind these investment companies are actually from famous Chinese SAL companies, which means that these offshore financial investment companies are all assets under the famous Chinese scientist Dr. Duke.

Bob Calvin did a very solid job in the textual research of this article, and the materials cited were really registered materials. Although these things are by no means easy to access by a columnist like Bob, there is no doubt that the part of the content he wrote is indeed a fact.

However, Bob Calvin's purpose was obviously not just to reveal Duke's privacy and let everyone know how rich Duke is, but to use this extremely detailed research as an introduction and transition to speculate on his next sensational financial conspiracy transaction.

In Bob's next article, a statistical analysis was conducted on the investment activities of these investment companies under Duke. Through Bob's analysis, readers were constantly hinted by Bob that the extremely abnormal investment activities of these secret investment companies were actually tools used to engage in illegal financial transactions for Duke.

Because since the establishment of these investment companies, they have actually only conducted two major transactions, one was to short Apple and the other was to short Google. In other times, these investment companies have only engaged in gold-edged bond investments around the world and have never conducted other high-risk investment projects.

Why is this happening? Bob Calvin claims that through reliable sources, there is sufficient evidence that Dr. Duke uses his superb computer technology to hack competitors to cause huge negative scandals in competitors, and uses such major negative news to make huge profits.

Bob Calvin analyzed in detail two major negative scandals, two famous American companies, Apple and Google, to demonstrate that Bob Calvin confirmed through the transaction data obtained that before the two companies had major negative scandals, Duke's financial investment company conducted a large-scale short-selling transaction.

Before the Apple backdoor incident broke out, these investment companies shorted Apple stocks up to hundreds of billions of dollars. Shortly after completing these short selling actions, a video of revealing Apple's products had backdoors, which made Apple fall into a huge scandal of illegally stealing personal private information. The stock price fluctuated greatly. As Apple's stock price plummeted, these financial companies under Duke chose to immediately close their positions.

Bob claimed that the Apple incident was exactly the same as the Google satellite image fraud incident. Duke's funds carried out a large number of short selling operations shortly before the incident broke out, and then made profits after the scandal occurred.

Bob hinted with the extremely "precise" coincidence in time that Duke's two speculative investments were premeditated financial transactions. Bob's spearhead was directed directly at Duke, who had a "world-class" computer level, believing that in these two financial short-selling and speculation activities, although there was no direct evidence that Dr. Duke directly directed the two scandals, many indirect evidence shows that at least Dr. Duke's fund companies received relevant news in advance, so that they could accurately grasp this "unexpected" speculative opportunity.

Bob Calvin even used trading information to infer that the total profits of these funds under Duke in these two conspiracy transactions were judging from the scale of short selling, at least $30 billion.

Therefore, in Bob Calvin's writing, the originally respectable Dr. Duke was suddenly exaggerated to become an insatiable financial villain. Bob Calvin explained in his postscript that the FBI is now investigating the suspicious trading activities of several investment companies under Duke in the United States, which has added a lot of persuasion to Bob Calvin's revealing article.

After reading this long article, Cai Siqiang couldn't speak for a long time. Now, two very strange things happened in a row. Cai Siqiang could no longer see that this was a conspiracy against Duke and Duke's subsidiary companies, so it would be too slow. Cai Siqiang seemed to see a huge conspiracy from this article, which was bringing SAL and Duke into the network.

The shareholder data and transaction data quoted in this article are true, and even some of the content speculated in the article are very close to the truth. Although there is no chance of reappearing the evidence of this truth, Cai Siqiang can see that everyone who reads this article will have a strong sense of skepticism about the behavior of these investment companies under Duke.

After all, the time of those two transactions was indeed too coincidental.

"Mr. Cai, I think we should immediately issue a lawyer's letter to sue Times Weekly for spreading rumors and slander. Our boss Du is so busy working every day and has countless companies. How could it be ridiculous to do such a thing? We must ask them to stop publishing this article immediately and apologize for clarification." Liao Mengna, who was on the side, quietly waited for Cai Siqiang to finish reading it, and then said indignantly.

In her eyes, SAL is almost a perfect company. Unlike those companies full of original sins, SAL has almost completely relied on its superb technical strength to reach today in the market. There is no shameful thing in the middle, and Duke is an idol among the young generation of young talents. This is an important reason why Liao Mengna, a strong woman, left the throne of BMW's public relations director, and joined SAL.

Now that Bob Calvin uses this method to discredit Duke, it is as unacceptable to Liao Mengna as smearing her idol.

"Even if the companies mentioned in the article are investment industries of our SAL subsidiaries, these companies are independent entities, and they are only an investment relationship with our SAL companies. Even if we take a step back and say that there are problems with some transactions in between them, it is also a problem of these companies themselves. There is no necessary relationship with SAL companies, let alone Boss Du planned and directed these actions. Bob's unfounded inference is completely a complete smear."

As a top student in the Department of Media at Cornell University, Liao Mengna knows the lethality of this article in European and American societies. In Western society, the issue of integrity is a crucial part of a large company. Although people continue to test the law, once they are discovered, the outcome will be very miserable. Large companies with annual income of over 10 billion US dollars can collapse instantly.

Therefore, Liao Mengna knew that once Bob Calvin's heavy smear article succeeded, SAL's image in Western EU countries would plummet, and the damage to SAL's reputation and loss of product sales would be immeasurable.

Moreover, this article pointed directly at SAL, the most popular financial industry in the financial world today, and its founder, Dr. Duke, are undoubtedly an extremely explosive big news. Once the news comes out, it will inevitably be the financial headlines of major Western news media. The influence of this has made Liao Mengna, who has been engaged in public relations for many years, feel a little numb.

This happened so suddenly. Time magazine did not follow the customs and communicated with SAL companies in accordance with the practice before publishing the article, which caught Liao Mengna completely off guard. Generally speaking, the media usually conducts some necessary communication and verification before publishing when receiving major news from large companies, because the consequences of such articles are very serious, and a slight carelessness will be a disaster for the media. However, Time magazine has completely ignored the practice and unilaterally forcibly published news that is extremely unfavorable to SAL.

SAL is now only left to take legal measures to solve this problem. This is the worst choice for Times and SAL, because it will leave no room for maneuver between Times and SAL. Unless Times has absolutely certainty about the authenticity of its article, it will face a lawsuit attack initiated by a large company like SAL. With such articles, it is not too much to estimate the loss of SAL and Duke. If you lose the case, Times cannot compensate such huge losses no matter what. If you only have a good relationship, the relevant responsible person will be held accountable by SAL and may not be able to turn over for the rest of your life.

So I don't know what kind of means Snyder used to make Bob and Times editors make such a serious decision.
