Eric looked at the various electronic devices in the box in front of the girl. Although the number was not large, he still felt his scalp tingle: "Are these all found from our house?"
"Not all." The girl picked up the black ashtray just now and said, "This one was taken out of Jeffery's office. Jeffery was so angry that he has arranged for a detective company to investigate this matter in private , said that all the guys who betrayed the company should be thrown into prison. Others, Liz and I’s home, Firefly Studios, Burbank headquarters, and Pointe Manor, these places are there. However, the good news is , Only one was found in the Pointe Manor, in the living room next to the hall, which happens to be the room you least often visit. Natasha and I have always cleaned up the top bedroom and the basement study, maid They couldn't get in, but they checked it carefully a few times and found nothing. Besides, the people from the Angle Manor also caught her. I originally wanted to throw her into the sea, but it's against the law, so it's still closed I plan to let her lose money according to the contract after this matter is over."
Although the Angle Manor is still safe, Eric did not relax at all, and glared at the girl: "You seem very excited?"
"What an exciting thing," the girl didn't deny, she smiled and leaned towards the camera, and said, "It feels like I'm acting in "Mission: Impossible"."
If it wasn't for the video call, Eric would definitely put a note on this girl's forehead immediately: "Okay, let's be serious, how about New York?"
"There's nothing there. I even checked the house where you raised the little foxes. They usually clean up the house by themselves, but they don't have the chance to put bugs on them. Or, others are not interested in their place at all. " The girl said, ignoring Eric's embarrassment in front of Caroline and Mayer, and continued: "However, Vicky said that there seemed to be paparazzi in East Hampton a few days ago, but they didn't Too sure, not anymore these days."
As long as it doesn't affect the safety and life of women and children, Eric doesn't care much about things like paparazzi. After roughly sorting out the information given by the girl, he asked, "By the way, when did the one caught in Jianjiao Manor put the bug on?"
The girl seriously found a folder from the side, opened it and looked at it, and said: "On March 25th, she originally planned to put another one in the reception area by the curtain wall, but it happened to be guarded there at that time." A very vicious kitten, she dare not approach. You are basically out of LA for the next few weeks, so only one cleaning, she just happened to be assigned to clean the kitchen, and Natasha was around, so Couldn't find an opportunity."
A fierce kitten
Eric was puzzled for a moment, and soon remembered that Carmen Kath lived in Pointe Manor in those few days.
Consider Carmen Kath's temperament.
This description is really a bit appropriate.
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Eric gave the girl a warning look helplessly, but he began to understand that these things, including cyber attacks and wiretapping, basically started in the last month.
Of course, Eric also knows that the outside world's spying on him will definitely not only start in the last month.
It's just that all behaviors need to be driven by sufficient motivation and interests.
If you don't get enough rewards, you will launch a large-scale eavesdropping on a super rich man like Eric. Once you are discovered, you will definitely be retaliated. This kind of "return on investment" is obviously not enough for most people to do so .
But the current situation is different from the past. Even, not only the Clover Fund, but also Yahoo, Cisco, Amazon and other technology stocks in the Firefly system account for the proportion of the Nasdaq market, which is enough to change the direction of the entire Nasdaq market.
If you can know the equity operation plan of Firefly System for its new technology companies in advance, and follow the current turbulence of the Nasdaq market, if you follow the operation, it is just a key piece of news, which may bring hundreds of thousands to a speculative capital. million dollars in revenue.
Even, if they can detect some major bad news that can affect the entire technology stock market, and establish short positions in advance, once the Nasdaq stock market crashes, the income of those short-selling funds will be hundreds of millions.
In my memory, the 9/11 incident that shocked the world and the rumors about hedge funds shorting airline stocks on a large scale in advance have never been conclusive evidence, but it is definitely not just groundless. Moreover, this kind of operation through internal information is completely feasible.
After thinking about it for a while, Eric told the girl: "During this time, you should pay more attention, and don't let anything happen again."
"Yeah," the girl nodded, and said again: "Then, Eric, don't we catch the murderer?"
"I'll leave this matter to you. Of course, don't do anything out of the ordinary. Don't lock up that maid either, and leave it to the FBI."
Eric basically doesn't report any expectations. Anyone who does this kind of thing will try his best to ensure that he will not be involved. Moreover, it is generally possible to think of who is doing bad things, nothing more than a few major investment banks and large hedge funds on Wall Street. Kittens and puppies probably do not have the strength to do such things.
"But, I think it's even more impossible to find anything if it's handed over to the FBI?"
"I just wanted to see if they could find something."
The girl seemed to understand something, she nodded, and said again: "By the way, Eric, the CACI team has preliminarily inspected the aircraft here, but some details still need to be tested in detail. The president of CACI said that basically There is no problem, and your side should be similar."
Continued to chat about some things, hung up the video call, Eric leaned on the leather chair and began to carefully recall these recent things.
The wiretapping started in the last month or so.
Fortunately, this month he was basically on the go, in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and even the most recent Tokyo, which did not leave a chance for people to concentrate on eavesdropping.
Moreover, Eric has been very cautious from the very beginning, the Clover Fund that the other party cares most about.
Until now, only Eric himself is fully aware of the four-month overall selling plan. He simply confirms the list and quantity of a batch of selling stocks based on market conditions every week, and then transfers them to Kelly, who then Contact the major trading studios for selling.
Others, even Chris and Katzenberg, Eric did not disclose too much.
Thinking about it this way, what those people can get is at most the selling operations of the Clover Fund in recent weeks. But that's only possible, and it's more likely that the other party got nothing, which is why the attack on his personal e-mail in the past week has been called crazy, which has aroused the vigilance of Steve Mitnick.
Clover Fund started selling on March 22, and today is April 23, Friday, exactly five weeks.
The amount of cash out this week will not be calculated until the end of the week. However, Eric basically remembers the sales figures of the previous four weeks, which are about US$1.6 billion, US$1.8 billion, US$1.7 billion, and US$2.1 billion.
In four weeks, the Clover Fund has cashed out $7.2 billion in a frenzy.
7.2 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to the total amount of capital invested by Eric in previous years. In fact, if you count the 2.378 billion US dollars of the 3.1% stock that was transferred to AOL a few months ago, the Clover Fund has achieved huge profits in recent years.
Therefore, even if the Nasdaq index starts to collapse now, Eric will not care too much.
After all, except for the stocks held by the Clover Fund, the Firefly System has no plan to reduce its holdings and cash out for new technology companies such as Yahoo, Cisco, and Amazon. On the contrary, Eric also hopes to take advantage of the bursting of the technology stock bubble to further increase the shareholding ratio of these companies.
Now, Wall Street capital is spying on him with a speculative mind. Strictly speaking, it cannot obtain the information the other party wants.
Even the Clover Fund, unless it can obtain detailed documents and even account information of Eric's large-scale sell-off of technology stocks, and then make a big splash through the media. Otherwise, just eavesdropping on a few words and spreading them out will not cause much impact on the completely out-of-control Nasdaq market.
As for operating with the Clover Fund, it is even more unrealistic in this situation. A lot of capital on Wall Street cleared their holdings of technology stocks before 3000 points. Now, even if they want to sell, they must have stocks in their accounts.
What these people can do is either short, or buy first and then sell.
The former already has a lot of capital in operation, and the risk of the latter even exceeds the former.
Rubbing his forehead, Eric opened his eyes and found that Caroline and Mayer were sitting quietly opposite each other, so he said, "You all go to rest, there is still a long time to go to London."
Caroline and Mayer stood up together and asked with concern: "Eric, do you want to sleep for a while?"
Eric nodded, got up and walked out of the study, walked straight into the bedroom in the front cabin, kicked off his shoes, and threw himself on the big bed exhaustedly.
After a while, he felt the mattress around him sink slightly, and a faint fragrance came. Eric stretched out his arms subconsciously and felt Caroline's small waist. He turned sideways and saw Caroline sitting on the bed with bright eyes. by the bed.
Patted next to him, Eric smiled and said, "Come on, be my doll's pillow."
Caroline blushed slightly, but she quietly took off her shoes, unbuttoned the top of her small suit, folded it and put it aside, she lay down quietly wearing only a light blouse and white slacks.
Eric really wanted to hug the girl next to him tightly, but seeing Caroline's nervous little look with her eyelashes trembling slightly, and wearing a serious OL suit on her body, she had a feeling that she couldn't do it at all. .
Kissing Caroline on the forehead, Eric chuckled and said, "It feels like I'm about to be executed."
Only then did Caroline open her eyes, and turned slightly sideways to meet Eric's eyes. After looking at him for a while, the girl whispered: "Eric, why don't I let Mary come over."
Eric immediately felt a little guilty, shook his head and said, "I just need Carly."
Caroline blinked her eyes, reached out to touch Eric's face, and said, "Eric, I'm very smart and know everything."
"Do you know how to make the man you like feel more guilty?"
"Um."
Eric grabbed Caroline's little hand, kissed it, and said, "Well, I feel so guilty now that I want to jump off the plane."
Caroline bent her mouth, leaned her body closer, put her face on Eric's chest, put her arms around his waist, and murmured: "Eric, I like you."
Suddenly I remembered that night in Lone Pine Town, and Caroline had said the same thing.
Eric hugged the girl next to him, and said, "I'm even more guilty now, because I let a girl confess to me twice."
"Eric, I plan to make you feel guilty about me for a hundred years."
"A hundred years is too long, is this life okay?"
"Um."
In April in London, the weather was still cold. When the plane landed at Heathrow Airport, it was still drizzling, creating a foggy and gloomy scene.
London time is eight hours earlier than Tokyo, but the distance between the two sides is much longer than Los Angeles to Tokyo, and the journey exceeds 12 hours. After the group landed, it was already the afternoon of the 23rd local time.
Caroline's home is very close to Heathrow Airport, and the premiere will not be held until after the day, so Eric directly allocated a car at the airport to take the girl home. The CACI information security team from California began to investigate Eric's Boeing 747 after the plane landed, and Carter Moen was left there by Eric to watch him personally.
Entering the urban area, it was inevitable to check Kensington's residence again. After all the troubles, it was already evening.
"Mr. Colin Southgate, the president of EMI Group, has agreed to the lunch invitation at noon tomorrow, and I have reserved a seat at the restaurant of the Royal Garden Hotel. The Bertelsmann Group has not responded yet, and there will probably be news tomorrow morning. Also, these are the financial reports of the two companies for the last five years, and I have marked the important information." Mayer said, putting several folders on the coffee table, and said: "There are still 26 The list of guests who attended the premiere of "Iron Man" and the evaluation of the Japanese media after the premiere in Tokyo showed that the results were very good. Mr. Coyle Crow predicted that the Japanese box office of "Iron Man" should be able to It was around $50 million."
Eric stood by the hanger in the corner of the living room, changing into a windbreaker. After listening to Mayer's introduction on the sofa, he said, "Okay, let's go to dinner together."
"Eric, I..."
"What art exhibition are you going to?"
"No."
"Then accompany me to dinner."
"..."
"Did you overhear my private conversation with Carly on the plane?"
"No."
"That's it, it's not a good habit," Eric said with a smile, "It seems that I really have to teach the female assistant who likes to listen to the wall."
Mayer blushed: "Eric, I, you can't do this."
"I'm the boss, I can do whatever I want."
"I, I will resign."
"Then you have to get rid of your bad habits before resigning." Eric came over, pulled the girl up, and said, "Let's go, what do you want to eat?"
Mayer looked very reluctant, but still took Eric's arm and said, "There must be no place in Minjiang restaurant now."
"Then change to another," Eric said indifferently: "In fact, these restaurants are like this, the more you care about them, the more they carry them. I always feel that those guys who are proud of their ability to book a table at any restaurant are stupid. .”
