Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Located in the northeast of the central part of the United States, the city straddles the Mississippi River and is called the Twin Cities together with St. Paul, which is adjacent to the east.
From the beginning of the village relying on the water conservancy of the waterfall, through economic development such as flour and logging, the Mississippi River has become its engine,
Step by step, it developed into a city of today's size.
Minni means 'water' in Indian, and there are 22 beautiful small lakes in the city, so it is also called 'Lake City'.
But for foreigners, it is estimated that most people have never heard of this place. Even if they have heard of it, it is because of the name of a black man. After all, it is not as famous all over the world as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The economy is not bad, and the development is not bad. The ranking of cities in the United States can be ranked more than forty. The environment is good under the beautiful lake.
All in all, it is a city suitable for recuperating physically and mentally and livable for the elderly.
I don’t know if it’s because of this, but one of the two giants in the medical field, a medical device company with the world’s top technology,
Litonmei headquarters is located here.
But he did not visit the headquarters building as the CEO of the empire, nor did he appreciate the beautiful scenery of this lake city in the urban area.
In the north of Minneapolis city, the standard is still dark and elongated. A luxury car stopped on the side of the road in the afternoon sun. Two small black shadows emerged from the lowered car windows.
Fly to the large factory whose outline is already clearly visible in the distance.
And after a full thirty minutes,
Inside the pitch-black and elongated luxury car, Fangran raised his black eyes and said,
"Sure enough, I can't see any problems, and I haven't found anything suspicious. No matter how you look at it, it's just a normal factory."
Slightly helpless to disperse the black eyes, although he just had the idea of giving it a try, he failed to directly catch the guy related to Rufus and ask for information.
Fangran was still a little disappointed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked solemnly at the large medical equipment factory outside the car window.
After the incident in San Francisco, it has been thoroughly confirmed that the identity of 'Lufus' is related to the future consortium of the association,
After getting rid of the pursuit last night, wait cautiously until the night that can facilitate the activities of the participants recedes,
Fangran and Adeline took the helicopter back to the airport immediately, flew to Minneapolis in the morning, and immediately started to investigate the medical equipment factory controlled by Rufus.
Of course, the reason why he was so anxious was more important because...
Tens of billions of dollars.
There is a high probability that participants with the ability to influence people's minds will be dispatched, and the association will directly allow Ethan Medical Insurance Company to carry out such a large-scale fund transfer.
Ten billion... .
Ten billion dollars!
Wealth so huge that ordinary people can't even imagine its general concept will only be considered as an exaggerated and dreamy amount,
But next to the bright gaming table, before betting all the chips at once, all the money will be lost in one breath, which makes him oppressed, flinching and all kinds of indescribable feelings of obstructed breathing,
Let Fangran realize how big a sum of 20 million US dollars is in the roughest way,
And this time it is 10 billion US dollars.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen,
After experiencing the real feeling of 20 million in Las Vegas that night, I can already feel the hugeness of 10 billion.
Not only is it a stepping stone, is this also within her plan... .
At this moment, I suddenly felt the profound intention of Veronica to 'threat' herself to go to the casino just after arriving in North America.
Fangran looked at a production report about the biotechnology medical care equipment in front of him, and once again felt the feeling of breathing blockage at the gambling table.
It's just that it's $10 billion that could be 'losing' this time.
"It seems that we still need to trace funds, transaction logistics and other information to find the factory under the name of the medical company related to Rufus Russell."
Listening to Fangran's words, sitting opposite him in a black and elegant suit, Adeline calmly spoke not surprised by this result,
Knowing what she said, Fangran let out a long breath.
factory... .
In the name of influencing the mobilization of huge amounts of funds by means of ability, the association invested in North America in the form of investment. Another medical device company that is not inferior to Littonmei and has inextricably linked with the future consortium secretly,
There is no doubt that the company that Rufus Russell has been dealing with,
And the medical equipment he had been secretly trading before proved that the 10 billion funds this time were estimated to flow to a certain factory under the name of that company.
After the investment contract has been signed and under the actual legal effect, it has entered the transfer process,
However, it is not that simple to schedule the amount of funds of this scale, and it will take some time for the bank to review and other procedures.
And to stop all this and recover the investment of tens of billions of dollars,
It was during this time that they found a certain factory under the name of the medical company of the Future Consortium.
As long as we can find out the "illegal part" hidden in that factory, we can use the thirteen detailed clauses in the contract, such as "concealing major business problems from the management", to break the contract.
Let the bank forcibly interrupt the transfer process through practical means to recover the funds.
And if it doesn't stop... .
The tens of billions of dollars that will definitely be lost by unknown 'natural disasters' will inevitably lead to a financial crisis for Ethan Medical Insurance Company, making it difficult to pay doctors and hospitals as promised.
And once this event that affects the entire medical industry of Fiseld happens,
As the stock price drops by a percentage point, I'm afraid it's not just a loss of 10 billion US dollars... .
The top priority is to find that factory as soon as possible!
His eyes were not relaxed. Hearing Adeline's words, Fangran raised his head and asked her:
"Have you found out where the medical company's factory is from those channels?"
"I'm sorry, we tried to trace the logistics of the latest batch of biotechnology convalescent devices, but we didn't have any clues. It's obvious that the other party used the space device of the technologist to secretly transport it,"
Always able to answer Fangran's questions immediately, this time Adeline is also a reliable answer that has already been arranged:
"But searching the area near that company, I've had people go through all possible options."
"Have the screening results come out?"
"It should be halfway through."
Hearing this answer, Fangran made a decision without the slightest hesitation, and said softly with a resolute expression:
"Then go and confirm that half first, let's go, let's go to Litonmei's headquarters now."
After speaking, there was an unbelievable state suddenly. It was obvious that I had just experienced the crisis of being chased by someone in San Francisco last night.
But now I am busy with things I have never thought about in a city I have never heard of, not to mention the rest to calm down the panic, and I don’t even have a memory.
It seems that last night was an extremely simple past...
Without any hesitation, the driver started the vehicle to carry out his decision, and the dark and elongated luxury car turned around in the suburbs and drove towards the city at a high speed.
Then in less than an hour,
Downtown Minneapolis, the headquarters building of Littonmei Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.
In the tense atmosphere of receiving the contact from the front desk and suddenly starting to prepare for the meeting, all Littonmei high-level officials above the department director were waiting, and two top officials in the empire were ushered in!
Unexpectedly, when the meeting room got up to welcome the moment, the first person who was amazed was not the rumored super-skilled and cold-looking administrator,
Instead, he looked at the figure of the black-haired young man walking in awe-inspiringly, his steady and quick steps were vigorous and resolute, and his overly young appearance seemed to be remnant of the sharp and decisive after what he had just experienced!
This is the new CEO of the Empire!
This is almost a shocking thought in everyone's mind. The top leader of Litton Beauty took a deep breath and was about to introduce himself.
"Executive Your Excellency, hello, I am..."
But interrupt it directly,
"You don't have to introduce yourself to me, and I don't need to know each of you names, I just need you to tell me,"
The harsh words with a vague mechanical sense sounded. At this moment, everyone only saw the sharp eyes of the figure, and asked directly without any sloppy voice:
"Each of you is an employee who abides by your own responsibilities and will not harm the interests of Fisseld, right?"
The moment Ling Ran walked into the conference room imposingly, he questioned like a blow to the head before he even sat down.
After listening to everyone's answers, and unwilling to waste useless time, Fangran directly pointed out the figures of the two senior executives as deputies again, ruthlessly ordering them coldly and resolutely!
"He, he, suspended the two of them and investigated all behaviors that harmed the interests of the company."
Then, after the whole conference room fell into the same atmosphere as that of the Cosi Group at that time, Fang Ran sat down directly opposite the entire conference table,
With a calm expression, he looked straight at everyone in front of him.
"Give me the results of the progress of the screening of the factory site."
The meeting, which lasted only half an hour, ended, and half of the possible results were obtained.
Fangran and Adeline drove away from Litonmei's headquarters in a car.
Then the rest of the afternoon passed on the way to various factory sites, until night fell, and the black sky enveloped the unlit suburbs outside the city,
Amidst the darkness and distance, only the factory located outside the urban area was lit with solitary light spots.
And in this darkness of night,
The dark and straight figure, the black armor exudes the beauty of science and technology, and the one-sided wing with a perfect mechanical sense is spread out on the back. Fangran opened his black eyes in the dark night,
After the twilight near the factory, Youye Xingchen's detection method and Haiji Mulin's crow feather were released together!
"Not here, next one."
After not noticing any abnormality, he pressed the communication opening next to his ear quietly and softly, and after hearing the cold voice reply,
The mechanical single wing on the back stretched out and spewed out blue flames, and the figure rushed directly to the next possible location in the night sky.
"Not here, next."
...
"Not this, next one."
...
"No, next one."
...
"Next."
...
In the dark night, like a stream of light that no one notices, it extinguishes the possible locations screened out on the map one by one,
And finally!
At the moment when more than half of the night had been consumed, the body was approaching the next destination, and before Il activated the detection device,
Fangran stopped suddenly, and his black eyes looked into the distance in surprise. Looking at the area where the research institute and factories were located by a lake, he sensed the presence of more than one participant there.
And there is an aura similar to those of the elites on the coast!
At the moment when he finally found his target, Fangran breathed out slowly in the night sky. He pressed the button of the communication device next to his ear with the jet-black gauntlet, exhaled lightly, and then said as if preparing to start a war:
"Adeline, call Celika and all of them over."
