Chapter 670 Compromise?

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
The Boston Consortium can't hold on for long.

This is not because they have no money, on the contrary, they are very rich and have wealth that ordinary people can't imagine.

Since the 1950s, using the research results of MIT to develop emerging technology industries and complete the transformation from the light textile industry to electronics, optics, radar, missiles, and even aerospace fields. If you calculate and control wealth, you may not be able to be your opponent. After all, Bill Gates is just one person, and more than one of these consortiums is a family.

For such a huge economic behemoth, banks are not their hematopoietic stem cells, but they are more important hearts than that!

If there is a problem with the heart, the huge financial and industrial systems will face the risk of tight capital chains.

So as soon as the run appeared, the Boston Consortium's offensive against Future People Group suddenly stopped, and there was no next move for a long time.

The antitrust investigation did hurt the Future People Group, but it was far less painful than the punch they took at the First National Bank in Boston.

Both sides are like boxers standing on the ring. Everyone knows that they cannot beat the other party down with one punch. They can only weigh their respective gains and losses and hesitate whether to punch the next one.

Manor in the suburbs of Boston.

At this moment, the people standing in this house hold one-tenth of the power of 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 Democratic lawmakers...

They gathered together for the common good.

It's really too much!I bet that the leak of depositor information must be the ones they did!John Lawrence said gritting his teeth as he punched the table.

I think so too, but we have no evidence and the FBI has not found any clues.Bernie Adams said helplessly.

How did they do it?Websense is responsible for the information security of Boston First National Bank. If their hackers can hack into our servers, then there is no reason they can't hack into the Pentagon.Mr. Lowell frowned, too.

Since Raytheon spent $1.9 billion to acquire Websense, the Boston Consortium's industry has been protected by the cybersecurity company.

Because the business involves the military industry, the consortium's servers are subject to many attacks every year, but never have any attacks succeeded.

I'll remind the Pentagon.Adams said.

Enough, my friends, what we should worry about now is not the Pentagon, but the Future People Group!Lawrence said with a headache.

Saudi freshwater project cannot give in.Joseph Kennedy replied.

But our garment factory in Texas needs funds, Raytheon’s radar project at the Guam military base, and orders from Bell Helicopters and the Pentagon.Lowell glanced at Joseph, and although I know that the Saudi freshwater project is important to you, it seems now... If we continue to fight with the Future People Group, even if we eventually win, the losses suffered by the consortium will be unbearable.

I agree with Mr. Lowell.Bernie Adams nodded.

I can't accept it.John Lawrence shook his head, where would we put our faces if we compromised with them?

Come on, Mr. Lawrence, we are businessmen, just gains and losses in the business world.If you really can't swallow this, we can wait and get rid of them later.But now, it's better to slow down first.At least in terms of network security, we must upgrade!Rocky, who hadn't spoken, spoke.

Then, as usual, raise your hands 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... in favor of the settlement, please raise your hand.After saying that, Lowell glanced at the four people present and raised his hands.

The voting result was three to two.

In favor of reconciliation.

Who will contact them?Although the decision made by the consortium is inconsistent with the interests of his family, there is no dissatisfaction on John Kennedy's face.

I'll go.Rocky looked around at the person present and said, "I am the major shareholder of Boston First National Bank, so it is more appropriate for me to come forward."

……

Although the relationship between the several major consortiums that control the US economy is still relatively harmonious, there is no saying that they are not harmonious in the business world.

It is normal for one side to find a problem and all sides to reach out.

Something happened to Boston Bank, and Citibank and JPMorgan Chase announced that they would upgrade the bank security system to ensure the security of each depositor’s personal information.

Such an approach is undoubtedly a matter of putting in trouble, and it is difficult for large consortiums to do too much.

So, on the third day when network information security became a topic, the Federal Reserve took action.

According to the latest news from the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Reserve injects $100 billion into Boston Bank to stabilize depositor confidence.

Meanwhile, Boston Bank announced an upgrade to its security system to ensure that such incidents do not happen again, recovering some of the losses.

Just when Wall Street investors were worried about digesting the leak of Boston Bank depositor information and the possibility of withdrawing from the United States, Jiang Chen, who is far away in the Western Pacific, seemed much calmer.

Standing next to the launch site, Jiang Chen watched the rocket take off, and as the smoke column, which looked like a physical dissipation, a smile gradually ejaculated on the corner of his mouth.

In this way, there are twelve quantum communication satellites in outer space.

Do you still have time to watch the fireworks?Standing next to Jiang Chen, Natasha teased.

oh?It seems that even Russia knows about the small conflict between us and the Boston Consortium.Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Of course, you are now on the CIA's list of key surveys.They think that you are the one who hacked into the No. 1 Bank of Boston, and your real identity is actually an IT engineer who is proficient in computer technology.

This guess is very interesting, but unfortunately, my computer level is only level 2.Jiang Chen laughed and avoided Natasha's temptation. Let's not talk about this, what do you think of our rocket launching technology?

Natasha will appear at the rocket launch site of Star Ring Trade, of course it cannot be for private reasons.

The rocket launch technology of Star Ring Trade has matured. In order to digest the excess launch resources, Jiang Chen set his sights on Russia.

Due to the reduction in total budget and exchange rate changes, the Russian Space Corporation was forced to cut nearly 30 billion rubles (1 USD is approximately 75 rubles) from 2016 to 2025.

Since Russia has high maintenance fees for the space station, Star Ring Trade can just share its worries.

Not only can you make some extra money, but you can let Star Ring Trade take its own profits and losses as soon as possible, but you can also accumulate experience in delivering supplies to the space station.

Why don’t Jiang Chen do such a good thing?

However, Natasha's answer surprised Jiang Chen.

If you are willing to sell rocket engines, we can talk about this.If you are planning to contract this project...my answer may disappoint you.Natasha sighed and spread her hands, we will not contract this project to foreign aerospace companies, there is no need to discuss this matter.
