Chapter 669 Compromise?

The Boston consortium couldn't last long.

This is not because they have no money, on the contrary, they are very rich, possessing unimaginable wealth for ordinary people. Since the 1950s, the scientific research achievements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been used to develop emerging technology industries, and the transformation from the textile industry to electronics, optics, radar, missiles, and even aerospace and other fields has been completed. Gates is also difficult to be his opponent. After all, Bill Gates is just one person, and more than one of these consortiums is a family.

For such a huge economic behemoth, the bank is not their hematopoietic stem cells, but the more important heart! If there is a problem with the heart, the huge financial and industrial systems will face the risk of tight capital chains.

So as soon as the wave of runs appeared, the Boston Consortium's offensive against the Future Group suddenly stalled, and there was no next move for a long time. The antitrust investigation did hurt the Future Group, but it was far less painful than the punch they received at the First National Bank in Boston.

The two sides are like boxers standing in the ring. Everyone knows that it is impossible to knock the other down with a single punch. They can only weigh their own gains and losses, and hesitate whether to punch.

estate in the suburbs of Boston.

At this moment, the people standing in this house hold one-tenth of the power in the entire United States. The heads of the five major families of Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, Kennedy, and Rocky gathered here, including big capitalists, shareholders of the Federal Reserve, and members of the Democratic Party...

They came together for the common good.

"It's really deceiving! I bet they must be responsible for the leak of the depositor's information!" John Lawrence punched the table, gnashing his teeth.

"I think so too, but we have no evidence, and the FBI has not found any clues." Bernie Adams said helplessly.

"How did they do it? Websense is responsible for the information security of the First National Bank of Boston. If their hackers can hack into our server, then there is no reason why they can't hack into the Pentagon." Mr. Lowell also wrinkled frown.

Since Raytheon acquired Websense for $1.9 billion. The Boston consortium's properties have been protected by the cybersecurity firm. Because the business involves the field of military industry. The servers of the consortium are attacked a lot every year, but no attack has ever been successful.

"I'll alert the Pentagon," Adams said.

"Enough, my friends, what we should worry about now is not the Pentagon, but the Future Group!" Lawrence said with a headache.

"The Saudi freshwater project cannot budge.

’ replied Joseph Kennedy.

"But we need funds for our garment factory in Texas, Raytheon's radar project at the Guam military base. There are also orders from Bell Helicopter and the Pentagon." Lowell glanced at Joseph, "Although I know the Saudi The fresh water project is very important to you, but now it seems... If we continue to fight with the Future Group, even if we will win in the end. The losses suffered by the consortium will be unbearable for us."

"I agree with Mr. Lowell." Bernie Adams nodded.

"I can't accept it." John Lawrence shook his head. "If we compromise with them, where will we put our faces?"

"Come on, Mr. Lawrence, we are businessmen, and it's just a matter of gain and loss in the business field. If you really can't swallow this breath. We can deal with them later. But for now, we'd better take it easy. At least on the Internet In terms of security, we must upgrade!" Rocky, who had been silent all this time, said.

"Then according to the usual practice, let's vote with a show of hands. For our long-term covenant, no matter what choice we make in the end, even if it is a choice I don't want to accept, I will contribute my strength to the alliance. Then... agree to the settlement Yes, please raise your hand." After speaking, Lowell glanced at the four present and raised his hand.

The vote was three to two.

In favor of reconciliation.

"Who is going to contact them?" Although the decision made by the consortium was not in line with the interests of his family, there was no dissatisfaction on John Kennedy's face.

"I'll go." Rocky looked around at the people present, and said, "I'm the majority shareholder of Boston First National Bank, so it's more appropriate for me to come forward."

...

Although the relationship between several major consortiums that control the American economy is relatively harmonious, there is no such thing as unharmonious in the business field. When one party is in trouble, all parties reach out. This is normal.

Bank of Boston had an accident, and Citibank and **** Bank announced that they would upgrade their bank security systems to ensure the security of every depositor's personal information. Undoubtedly, such an approach is suspected of adding insult to injury, and it is not easy for large consortiums to go too far. Ever since, on the third day when network information security became a topic, the Federal Reserve took action.

According to the latest news from the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Reserve injected $100 billion into Bank of Boston to stabilize depositor confidence. At the same time, Bank of Boston announced an upgrade of its security system to ensure that such incidents would not happen again, recovering some of the losses.

While investors on Wall Street were struggling to digest the two heavy news of "Boston Bank depositor information leak" and "Future Ren Technology may withdraw from the United States", Jiang Chen, who was far away in the Western Pacific, seemed much calmer.

Standing next to the launch site, Jiang Chen watched the rocket take off, watching the solid smoke column dissipate, a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.

In this way, there are twelve quantum communication satellites in outer space.

"You still have time to watch the fireworks?" Standing beside Jiang Chen, Natasha teased.

"Oh? It seems that even Russia knows about our little conflict with the Boston Consortium." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Of course, you are now on the CIA's key investigation list. They believe that you were the one who hacked into the First Bank of Boston, but your real identity is actually an IT engineer who is proficient in computer technology."

"This conjecture is very interesting, but unfortunately, my computer level is only level two." Jiang Chen laughed, avoiding Natasha's temptation, "Let's not talk about this, what do you think of our rocket launch technology?"

Natasha will appear at the rocket launch site of the star ring trade, of course, it cannot be for personal reasons. The rocket launch technology of Xinghuan Trade has matured. In order to absorb the excess launch resources, Jiang Chen set his sights on Russia.

Due to the reduction of the total budget and exchange rate changes, Roscosmos was forced to cut the maintenance cost of the International Space Station from 2016 to 2025 by nearly 30 billion rubles (about 75 rubles per US dollar). Since Russia pays high maintenance fees for the space station, the star ring trade can just share its worries.

Not only can they earn some extra money, but they can also make Star Ring Trading responsible for its own profits and losses as soon as possible, and it can also accumulate experience in delivering supplies to the space station.

Such a good thing, why would Jiang Chen not do it?

However, Natasha's answer surprised Jiang Chen.

"If you are willing to sell rocket engines, we can discuss this matter. If you are planning to contract this project...my answer may disappoint you." Natasha sighed and spread her hands, "We This project will not be contracted to foreign aerospace companies, this matter has nothing to discuss." (To be continued.)
