how i bought the whole world

"Mr. Field, every idea you come up with is like a new round of robbery plans." Brandon has been sitting in the living room listening to my phone call. When I finished talking with Yitzhak, he walked up to me and held out his hand. Give me a wine glass, "Will you have some wine?"

"Please have a glass. I take your words as a compliment." I looked up at the bottle, "Ha, the 95-year-old Pingus dry red, my favorite."

"Sent by Philomena, to make up for the mistake she made that day."

"Is this a bribe?" I joked. "Okay, go tell her I'm not mad, I'm not mad at a hard working lady, especially after she shows me a great prospect."

"You didn't behave like that that day. Your appearance that day seemed to say that I am very angry now. Anyone who dares to provoke me must first weigh how much he is."

"You'll tease your boss, won't you, Brandon?"

Brandon raised his eyebrows at my words, "I didn't say that, but I understand you, boss. After all, you are only 25 years old. You are not mature at this age, and it is normal to lose your temper."

"Are you older than me?" I looked at him funny.

"Psychologically a little bit more mature than you."

"Go to hell."

"Look, I'm not going to say 'fuck you'."

Brandon and I stayed in Singapore for five days before going back. After returning, we signed the transfer order and transferred Jared.Adams, Itzhak was a member of a new research and development group at William Field Electronics Studios.I didn't give Jared a high position, which is not suitable for a paratrooper, but I let Yi Zhake take good care of him and focus on Jared as a technical backbone.

After that I registered the software name as cyclops (cyclops), the name of the captain in X-MEN.

The name was chosen based on Yitzhak’s suggestion. He likes American hero comics very much, especially Cyclops, the powerful, loyal and righteous mutant in X-men. He has admiration for this character and hopes to develop it himself. The software can also become the future 'Cyclops', leading the future anti-virus market, so I want to use Cyclops to name the software.Out of respect for him, I agreed to his request, but in order to avoid copyright disputes, I asked the design department to design the icon as a cartoon-shaped cyclops—cyclops also means Cyclops in Greek mythology in English .

……

I was very busy in the next few days, because I stayed in Singapore longer than expected, and I came back to confirm many matters about the anti-virus software with Isaac. When I finally have the opportunity to return to the group, there is a mountain of affairs waiting for me , which means that I have to usher in several overtime weekends.

Chris once described my work in this way - as tired as a sheepdog on the farm, he has to go out early and return late every day to take care of the flock. He is right. I get up at about 6 o'clock every day, run for an hour, and then watch the company All kinds of emails, the driver will wait for me downstairs at eight o'clock, I will have breakfast in the car, and then continue to deal with emails, arrive at the office at nine o'clock, Brandon will come to tell me the work schedule of the day, In the morning, documents are read and signed. In the afternoon, we have meetings with executives. We work until 8pm, and then we go home for dinner. It’s the same every day.

Chris reminded me that I have time to take a vacation for myself. He felt that I seemed to have lived this year too intensely. This kind of life is not healthy. I should go to Hawaii or something to relax. After saying that, I turned around and gave him a vacation, and asked him to go to Europe to find a girlfriend, "This way I won't have time to meddle in my business", these are the exact words I said to Tiffany, I don't think I need to be chic , In view of the fact that I used to be chic too much.

"I always feel like I don't have enough time, Brandon," I said to my secretary on Tuesday, when Chris had been driven to Europe, "and every day I think about expanding my business and absorbing those small businesses." The company, beating our competitors, can’t wait to turn it into 48 hours a day, and Chris even asked me to take a vacation, I really don’t know what he thinks.”

"I found out that you haven't even gone on a date behind my back. It's a little weird." He asked casually, "Shall I invite you to dinner with a Hollywood actress? I think Charlize Theron is very good, you Have you seen her performance in "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun"?"

"Are you serious? She is several years older than me."

"Then Anne. How about Hathaway? I can ask her agent for a phone number."

"NOMYTYPE (not my style)" I rolled my eyes at him, "Don't mention women, okay? I don't have time to make women happy. Even if I had time, I would rather treat Bennett to dinner."

I'm not joking, Bennett has made a lot of money with me in the past two years, so occasionally he will reveal some small news to me.Just like a few days ago, he told me that the government might send troops to Iraq. This news made me sleepless for several days.

In the financial circle, even the slightest disturbance by the government may affect the future of the stock market for several years. Especially during the war, the shortage of resources makes it difficult to judge the future direction of the financial market. Bennett’s words made me fall into a new round of tension Among them, I convened my investment advisory team overnight and asked me if I wanted to make changes to several of my investments.

Originally, I also doubted the authenticity of Bennett's news. As early as the end of 02, the US government wanted to send troops to Iraq, but at that time the UN Security Council rejected its request to send troops, so we also believed that the US government gave up this plan. , But what Chris found out was that this time the U.S. government intends to bypass the order of the United Nations and unite the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia to enter Iraq to launch a military operation. The time is set for the end of March 03.

"There are only three investments that are guaranteed against turmoil today, Mr. Field. They are gold, oil, and anti-terrorism." My investment team advised me, "Gold and oil must have your best choices already. Investments in anti-terrorism You might want to think about it."

"I bought shares in Blackwater, do you think they will appreciate in value?"

"Yes, Blackwater Company, I heard that there are their mercenaries in Iraq this time. It is undoubtedly a very good choice."

"But the stocks in this area are determined according to the length of the war. Do you think the Iraq war will last for a long time?"

"Maybe for a long time, maybe soon, but this is not a problem to worry about, Mr. Field, you know, Americans still can't forget [-]/[-]."

September [-], let me be silent, September [-] has changed a lot for Americans, even though it has been more than a year, it is still not forgotten, in New York, two-thirds of the people every day Thinking of [-]/[-], there are four layers of people who still live in the fear of [-]/[-]. It is this fear that makes bodyguard companies and security consulting companies develop greatly in the past two years, and Blackwater is one of them. .

The original owner of Blackwater was Eric.Prince and Ai.Clark, who served in the SEALs in the early years, joined several other veterans to form the Blackwater Company after retiring from the army, which is mainly engaged in mercenary business and security business.They cooperated with the U.S. State Department to recruit many retired soldiers. In addition to providing strong military support to the government during the war, they are also one of the first choices for the security business of the rich and wealthy in North America.In 2001 alone, their contracts with the government amounted to one billion US dollars, not to mention the shadows of their contribution in Afghanistan, Colombia, and Nigeria. According to our conservative estimate, their annual profit is at least 30 billion US dollars above.

I thought about it. "I will continue to keep the shares of Blackwater Company. If there are any excess shares in the market, you can also help me search for them."

A few days after this incident, Bennett called again, but this time his tone was not so friendly, "William, you boy still diluted the shares." He had already received my notice to the board of directors. .This year, I injected an additional 5 million yuan into William Field Securities, raising my original 51% stake to 60%.While making sure I still have the first controlling interest in the company, everyone else gets diluted.

"Mr. Bennett, you also know that the Iraq war is about to break out." I answered him like this, "After all, this will have a great impact on the financial market. Now we don't know what President Bush's future plans are. In this case , I don't want my right to speak to be challenged, and it is imperative to re-plan the shareholding, but this has no impact on you, does it? My risk has increased."

"I think your suspicion is terrible." He softened his tone slightly, "Is there a difference between 51% and 60%? In any case, your equity is the largest. I don't think the [-]% difference can keep you The advantages."

There is not much difference between 51% and 60%, but if someone gets the other 49% of the shares, it is enough to threaten me. Although there are seven or eight shareholders in securities companies, I have to be on guard against someone secretly Calculate me, in the face of absolute interests, Bennett will not be loyal to me, he will only betray me faster.

"In order to apologize, how about letting me prepare a set of apology gifts for you?" I smiled slightly, "I recently got a new set of Spanish silverware from a sailing shipwreck in the 24th century, which was created by Philip II. There are [-] utensils in total, you must like it very much after seeing it."

"No." Bennet snorted, "I don't dare to take what you want, kid. You're a wolf. If someone bites you, you have to eat them up. But you really want to apologize. , please take care of my nephew for me, he will be studying for a master's degree in law at Boston University next week, you have met before, and please arrange a house and housekeeping staff for him, of course, the cost He will pay for it himself."

I frowned slightly, isn't Bennett's nephew Gu Anning whom I haven't seen for a long time?
