The tragedy on Venice Street in Los Angeles cast a shadow over the city, but people's lives were not greatly affected. The next day, the streets in Los Angeles were still crowded, but a little less noisy. The financial tsunami blowing from the East Coast has sent its aftermath to the stormy West Coast.
Financial markets throughout North America and even around the world are restlessly agitated around Morgan Stanley's proposed merger with Goldman Sachs. The originally turbulent crude oil market has made the global economy even worse, and now the financial turmoil on Wall Street has pushed this crisis to its peak.
For the AS Consortium, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the only investment bank left supporting the Masonic influence on Wall Street is Goldman Sachs. If Goldman Sachs were acquired by Morgan Stanley, North America would return to the embrace of the Anglo-Saxons and drive the pesky Jews back to Europe.
From the infancy of the financial industry in North America three hundred years ago, the contradiction between Jews and Protestants has laid the seeds of conflict between the two parties. Although the two sides have reached an agreement, their competition and hostility have never changed.
In the past, the U.S. Department of Justice would never have allowed Morgan Stanley to complete its merger with Goldman Sachs Group. A united Wall Street is not in the interest of the federal government. Even though Hillary's campaign funds have a share of the Morgan family, the relationship between them is not a subordinate, but a collaborator. The president will seek benefits for "sponsors," but there is a premise, and that is within a limited scope. The two parties maintain a tacit understanding of cooperation and competition, forming the North American campaign ecology...
However, the emergence of the Future People Group broke this tacit understanding.
The CIA's involvement in the Los Angeles attack put the federal government in an extremely passive position. If Jiang Chen discloses the evidence, the federal government will not only face condemnation from the international community, but will also endure domestic pressure.
After all, it was not just the security guards of the New Zealand Embassy who died on Venice Street, but also civilians, FI agents, Los Angeles police, and even the CIA itself. The Republican Party is eyeing the position of president. If the aftermath of this matter cannot be properly handled, Hillary is likely to face impeachment by Congress...
Therefore, prompted by external factors, the Department of Justice acquiesced in Morgan Stanley's merger agreement.
If Jiang Chen proposed that Future Bank acquire Goldman Sachs, the White House would definitely not agree. But since it was an acquisition from Morgan Stanley, Hillary turned a blind eye. Although the ownership of the company has changed, the changes are still in the hands of Americans.
This merger and acquisition plan involves an amount of up to 50 billion U.S. dollars, and the assets involved are recorded in hundreds of billions.
Even the Morgan family cannot afford such a huge amount of assets alone. Many investment banks, including First Bank of Boston and Brown Brothers Harriman Bank, sent salesmen to contact Goldman Sachs partners in an attempt to get a share of the "robbery."
Futureman Group was not left behind. David Smith, CEO of Futureman Bank, immediately flew to New York, USA, after receiving Jiang Chen’s call. As a former Citibank executive, mergers and acquisitions are his strongest area.
Jiang Chen's budget for him was US$5 billion, requiring him to acquire as many assets or shares of Goldman Sachs as possible.
The CEO was under investigation, and FI's police car drove to the downstairs of the group headquarters. Investors' panic has been reflected in the falling stock price. In order to maintain its ownership of Goldman Sachs, the Freemasons can only obtain funds by selling assets and buy back shares from wavering shareholders.
The financial market has been filled with smoke, and outside the financial field, the smoke has also been ignited.
…
The White House did not ask too much about what hit the embassy that day. However, major American media have shown strong interest. CBS even stationed its broadcast truck at the New Zealand Embassy, waiting for the mysterious hero wearing the "steel suit" to appear.
However, they were doomed to be disappointed.
Because the main building of the embassy was seriously damaged and the STI was about to start in a few days, Jiang Chen simply booked his stay at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco. Because the transfer was secret, Jiang Chen did not attract the attention of media reporters when he left.
When the media gathered at the door realized that Jiang Chen was no longer here, it was already a few days later.
"Stephen Shenks, the largest individual shareholder of Goldman Sachs Group, was found dead at home by the New York police. The cause of death was a bullet hit in the head. Currently, the FI has intervened in the investigation and has initially determined that the suspect is a middle-aged Hispanic man. This He was arrested and imprisoned for burglary in 2013, and after he was released from prison, he worked as a mechanic in a car repair company."
As if he was deliberately reading it to Jiang Chen, Lawrence, who was sitting in the driver's seat, held the newspaper and read it casually when Jiang Chen got in the car.
"Really? A sad story." Jiang Chen fastened his seat belt and said casually.
"Did you do it?" Lawrence glanced at Jiang Chen.
According to clues collected by FI, the weapons and equipment used by Kamte and others may be sponsored by the Shenks family. The Jewish businessmen who had contacted Stephen before were most likely members of the Shenks family.
"Of course not." Jiang Chen looked at Lawrence's unbelieving expression and smiled, "My dear friend, why do you think I did it? In fact, in this kind of situation involving hundreds of billions of dollars of interests, In the face of disputes, I don’t need to do anything at all, they will do everything for me.”
Lawrence said nothing, acquiescing to Jiang Chen's statement, put the newspaper aside, and drove on the road.
Traces of bullet holes are vaguely visible on Venice Street, but the broken shop windows have been replaced with new ones, and the dark burn mark in the middle of the road has been scrubbed clean and repainted. The motorcade quickly drove out of Venice Street and headed towards San Francisco.
Xia Shiyu and Zhu Yu were sitting in another car, with four black cars in front and behind protecting them firmly in the middle.
Compared to a few days ago, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that the security level around him had been at least doubled. Obviously, the United States does not intend to lose face twice on the same matter, let alone at this last moment.
But the security staff cannot be blamed for the last attack. If Stephen hadn't used his authority to weaken the security around the embassy, there would have been no way to touch the embassy's door with just a dozen mercenaries.
Soon the car drove to the airport.
Lawrence said as they got out of the car.
"By the way, someone asked me to bring you a message."
"What words?"
"Yesterday at noon, CIA Director Naomi Madden submitted his resignation." When he said this, Lawrence looked into Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Perhaps I should express my happiness?" Jiang Chen teased Lawrence.
"You should feel honored that at least two CIA directors have been fired because of you."
Jiang Chen shrugged.
He strongly agrees with Lawrence's statement.
Especially the word "at least".
Presumably, in the near future, there will be many opportunities for the two parties to interact with each other. (~^~)
