Chapter 30 It doesn't matter if it matters
On the highway from Fenway to Harvard Business School, a Buick was driving rapidly, from Vader community to the Chinese dormitory, constantly overtaking without speeding. It took Zhou Ming back to the dormitory in less than a quarter of an hour.
Chen Shu and Ye Ning were waiting at the door. When they saw Zhou Ming’s familiar car come back, they ran out immediately. When Zhou Ming got off the car, they handed the documents to Zhou Ming and said: Teacher, this is the document that the Financial Management Committee faxed through the company number just now. They asked us why we sold bonds and various tickets. They asked us to stop selling immediately, otherwise they would take compulsory measures.
Zhou Ming was stunned at the time after taking the document from Ye Ning's hand, because this situation was unexpected but unexpected.
It was expected that Massachusetts senior senator, Old Brooke, has been targeting Zhou Ming. No matter whether Zhou Ming invests or organizes the election, no matter how cautious Zhou Ming is, the other party will know and come to impose interference, and even move out FBI for this. Now that Zhou Ming makes such a big move, the other party has no reason to ignore it. For this reason, Zhou Ming has prepared to be surrounded by the dormitory and enter the FBI interrogation room again. However, what Zhou Ming did not expect was this fax document.
Is this only fax document Zhou Ming asked subconsciously?
Regarding Zhou Ming’s questions, Chen Shu and Ye Ning seemed to feel something was wrong. Ye Ning nodded and said to Zhou Ming: The teacher only has this fax document, which was transferred from the company’s fax machine to the dormitory. We contacted you as soon as we received it.
Chen Shu took Ye Ning's words and asked: Is there something wrong with the teacher or is it too late for the company's employees to find out that they are slacking off.
Although Wharton Insurance Company was organized by Zhou Ming and his classmates in the financial class, since they were all Harvard students and did not have so much time to take care of the company's affairs, the company usually recruited several people on duty and was responsible for other daily work. This time, they received a fax from the Financial Management Committee in the company, so they immediately contacted Chen Shu and the others to send it.
It's not a matter of time and night, but why is it this Financial Management Committee? Zhou Ming shook his head and said, have you heard of this institution?
Chen Shu and Ye Ning also shook their heads and replied: No, but the company's employees said that this is a department in the judicial department that specifically targets financial violations, and it seems to have something to do with FBI.
Impossible. Although I don’t understand the judicial structure of the United States, I know that FBI is an independent system. It belongs directly to the US Department of Justice and does not belong to the same department as the general police. I am afraid that this is also the company’s employees do not understand random speculation. Zhou Ming said that in fact, his affiliation is not important. What is important is why do you think the Financial Management Committee sent us such a fax.
Of course it was the commander Brooke who was behind his back. He had done too many such things
Ye Ning opened her mouth and replied, but she stopped talking, because she also realized the existence of the problem. Ye Ning looked up at Zhou Ming and asked: Teacher, do you think if there is only one fax document, it doesn’t look like the style of Councillor Brooke, right?
Chen Shu also reacted at this time: Teacher, this is really strange. It turns out that Councillor Brooke will make a big fight every time and wish I could send you to prison immediately. But why is there only such a document this time? In the past, even if FBI is moved out, you can't help it. He must understand that this is useless to you. Teacher, do you think Councillor Brooke is brewing a bigger conspiracy?
Zhou Ming shook his head and said: Okay, let’s not guess here. The best way to know his purpose is to ask our lawyers. After all, this is the United States. No matter what this Brooke Congressman wants to do, he must abide by the Basic Law. Otherwise, he will have to continue to send killers to intercept me on the road, but that is, he is illegal.
Then Zhou Ming and Chen Shuye Ning returned to the dormitory. When Li Yang saw Zhou Ming coming back, he immediately got up to ask about the situation. However, everyone except Li Yang was still doing his own thing as usual. Obviously, this fax was not known to other students. This was the place where the three of them did well, and emergencies did not affect the main business.
Zhou Ming asked Li Yang to be calm, and he took them back to his room. Zhou Ming called Allen and asked Chen Shu to fax it after explaining the situation to him.
After receiving the fax, Allen said: This Financial Management Committee is an institution on the CSRC, which is specifically targeted at all financial activities and is responsible to the parliament. I thought they must have monitored the data of you selling stocks and bonds in large quantities. Because they were worried about what speculative activities you were doing, they would send you such a fax as usual. This is what I told you when you consulted me by Mr. Zhou Ming.
I remember you mentioned this at that time. Zhou Ming suddenly realized it. He then asked, "Is this nothing to do with Councillor Brooke?" What kind of legal effect does this fax have? What impact will it have on our current sell-off?"
Allen thought about it for a while and answered: It is difficult to judge whether it has anything to do with Councillor Brooke, because Mr. Zhou Ming, you are carrying out such a large-scale sale, and the Financial Management Committee must take action. This is their normal duty; and this fax itself does not have any legal effect. It is more of a reminder and suggestion. It cannot interfere with your sale without applying for a court order.
In other words, I am throwing this fax directly into the trash can now, and then continuing my behavior is not illegal. Zhou Ming asked.
Legally, this is the case. Allen answered.
Thank you very much, good attorney Allen.
Zhou Ming hung up the phone, Chen Shu and Ye Ning came over to ask about the situation immediately. Zhou Ming told them that there was no need to worry, just let go and do it boldly.
Chen Shu and Ye Ning nodded and said yes. Ye Ning thought about it carefully and asked: Teacher, do we need to speed up the sale?
Zhou Ming hesitated for a while before saying: If possible, it’s better to speed up. After all, some institutions have already intervened, and we don’t know what the relationship between him and Brooke is, it’s better to be safer.
Teacher, what's going on with Omar? You just went to the Vader community. There was only one person there. Can you be busy with it? Ye Ning asked with concern.
Don't worry, you just need to know that this is the person I chose. Zhou Ming said confidently that when Ye Ning was about to go back, Zhou Ming told her again that since we are going to speed up the selling speed, it would be fine if the loss is a little bigger, but try not to exceed fifteen points.
Ye Ning smiled slightly: Teacher, don’t worry, our current losses are maintained at an average of eight percentage points. Even if we need to speed up now, we will definitely not lose too much.
Ye Ning's words made Zhou Ming feel relieved. No matter what, this is the financial class he brought out. There is no doubt about their ability and sense of responsibility. Now that they have finally had the opportunity to show themselves in front of them, they are not working hard. But what they don't know is that even if they lose more than 20 percentage points or even 30 percentage points, it doesn't matter. They still won't really lose anything. After all, they will have to make a lot of money in their next projects. The most important thing is that their trump card is not only this.
However, what puzzled Zhou Ming was that Zhou Ming was not sure what Old Brooke was thinking at this time, and whether the fax from the Financial Management Committee now has anything to do with him. Although this fax does not conform to his usual style from an analysis point of view, the other party was also a senior senator after all. God knows whether he was preparing for something they had not guessed.
No matter what he wants to do, my work must be prepared, and I have a more sense that this fax has nothing to do with him. He may be entangled with another thing now. If the news about the Bay that Jerra said was true, then maybe Old Brooke also received some news.
Zhou Ming thought about it in his mind, and then he dialed another number. After a while, the phone was answered. Zhou Ming said: Sister Mu Qing, how are you preparing? There is not much time now, and now I also feel a very bad feeling in my heart. I am worried that things will change.
Zhou Ming called Lin Muqing to Hong Kong City. After listening to Zhou Ming's words, she said: Zhou Ming, don't worry, I have been preparing for it since I received your message, and I will definitely be ready in a few days.
Meanwhile, a Cadillac limousine drove into Old Brooke's villa in Lexington, which was the car of Speaker Anthony.
The car parked smoothly on the lawn of the villa. Anthony got out of the car. Old Brooke took the initiative to greet him and invited Anthony to the seat in the yard. Old Brooke opened a bottle of red wine for Anthony. At this time, Old Brooke's villa housekeeper came forward to tell him that the Financial Management Committee had monitored Zhou Ming's Wharton Insurance Company was selling bonds and other tickets in large quantities. According to the committee, the committee sent a fax warning to Zhou Ming.
Old Brook was stunned after hearing this, but after a while, Old Brook made a decision. He waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave. Then he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Anthony and sat next to him.
It seems that my Brooke brothers must have something very important to discuss with me. Anthony said first.
Although Anthony had no intention of eavesdropping, he still heard what the butler said to Old Brook. He had a good relationship with Old Brook, so he also knew the hatred of Old Brook towards Zhou Ming. Now he could even put this aside first, which shows how important what he was talking about, so Anthony had to speak first.
Old Brooke didn't hide it, and nodded directly and said: Indeed, it was the thing I said last time about the Bay.
Anthony picked up his eyelids and said: Didn’t the news about Bay be explained clearly at the last meeting of the garden restaurant? Why do you have to say it again now? Or do you have any new news that I need to convey.
Old Brooke shook his head and said: It has something to do with that news, but it doesn't matter, because it's a matter between you and me, Speaker Anthony.
Anthony didn't say anything, but just looked at Old Brooke quietly. Old Brooke was not nervous about it. He took a sip of red wine and then said: Speaker Anthony, you and I are both from companies. Faced with such an important thing, since we have mastered such important news, do you think we can join forces to do this business?
Brook Brothers mean we invested once Anthony asked.
