On the last Thursday before the arrival of June, a cloud of visible clouds was over the top of Manhattan Island in New York, as if it was about to start heavy rain.
In order to avoid the coming rain and the sultry heat in the air, Bem unconsciously accelerated his pace.
Here is Wall Street. If the global economy is likened to a complex neural network in the human brain, then this one-third-mile-long street is the most sensitive and critical part of this complex neural network.
And he, Bem, a high-profile investment banking elite who graduated from Harvard University’s high-profile students and investment bank of the Goldman Sachs Group, is one of the most sensitive nerves on this nerve…
Entering the company, standing on the elevator, avoiding the colleague who was holding the document oncoming, and the briefcase that Benm walked into his office was on the table.
The colleague who had already stepped here for him had turned to the chair and turned his eyes to him.
“Are you paying attention to the morning news?”
Bem: “It’s a little late today, what happened?”
Karel: “Because nothing happened, so I think what is going to happen. You know, just yesterday afternoon, our Ministry of Justice announced that it has mastered the key evidence that can prove that 6 years ago. The patent acquisition case is illegal. From yesterday to now, I have been staring at the news of Star Technology… or the news from the Chinese side, but I have not waited until now. You should be able to see at your level. Come out, this is very unusual.”
Take the guy who eats himself out of the briefcase and set it on his desk.
Bem, who turned on the computer, shook his head and continued with a bit of disappointment.
“It’s not unusual. The later the delay, the more serious the situation. I can’t think of any reason for China to choose the best. I have already said that it is a stupid decision to use anti-monopoly investigations to deal with Star Technology. Now the White House even intends to use the Ministry of Justice to revoke the patent acquisition six years ago. It is stupid to the extreme! They are thinking that only they can do the same thing? Too naive!”
If it was five years ago, in addition to the reasons for not doing so, this kind of thing was done.
At that time, one foot stepped on the starry sky technology, and it was no different from stepping on an ant.
But now whether it is the international situation, international influence, or technical strength, it has completely different from the situation of the previous president.
In particular, the failure of the Ares program, the rescue of Mars, and the official unveiling of the imcrc organization were the watershed. More and more countries began to recognize that the center of the world has shifted from the intersection of Times Square to the center of the Pacific Ocean.
If the bureaucrats of the White House have a little strategic vision, they can find that the cross-regional power grid, which is spreading like a spider web in Southeast Asia and Central Asia, has already eroded the influence of North America in the region.
Even because of the positive factors that Mars rescued for the Chinese nation in the international community and the radiation effects of cross-regional power grids on economic growth in the coverage area, more and more small countries have opened their doors.
Under such a background, the trial of a high-tech enterprise in a Chinese country by domestic law will not only bring any benefits, but will cause a lot of trouble.
of course……
Maybe the White House is also involuntarily.
But this is not what Bam is qualified to complain about.
Turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, Karel said in a tone of contemplation.
“That is the big man to worry about. Now that things have happened, it is impossible to stop. We will do what we want. I just want to know what is the countermeasure against China?”
After a pause, he shrugged and continued. “It’s about our two-day strategy and whether we can have a relaxing weekend.”
“It is very difficult to predict China’s actions. Now they are better than us in at least two key areas. In theory, it is possible to choose which side to do.” Bam, who has already entered the working state, has meditated. After a while, I continued, “I prefer that they may protest today, give the White House a buffer time, and then introduce the first counter-measure on Monday…”
“Which areas do you think they might be working on?”
“I don’t know, it’s possible. I suggest that we should focus on lightening the position today, and properly withdraw some of the funds to balance the risks. Especially the West Coast Public Utilities companies that we have been heavily warehoused in the past, as well as power-related companies… The two protagonists, Sla and Mobil, but we don’t seem to be betting on them, it should be okay.”
Karel made a snap.
“Good idea, we thought about going together.”
Bem snorted in his heart, and his heart was clearly what I came up with.
However, anyway, it is not at the morning meeting of the company. They are all people on board, so he has not taken care of this little thing.
Throughout the morning, the performance in the capital market was still calm, like the dark clouds that were almost still outside the window. The boring people were somewhat uncomfortable.
Chewing on the sandwich, sitting on the desk with his feet on his feet, Beim stared at the online news on the computer screen and took a sip of coffee.
“Carrell.”
“What happened to my friend.”
“Do you not think that the morning trend is a bit too smooth?”
“Do you want to say that this is the silence before the storm?”
“I have this kind of thought,” Bem glanced at the dark clouds outside the window, as if to say to himself, whispering, “We all know that it will come, but what I want to know is, specifically, the number. “”
“Speaking of today is Thursday.”
Being confused by this nonsense, Bem looked at his colleague.
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“I have waited for a month’s movie to finally be released today.”
Bem: “…”
Laozi special is discussing the business with you, do you tell me the movie?
In the computer screen, the news continues to show.
The news that Brazil’s Vale Iron Ore Company announced the increase in production has just ended. The next one is that Belgium’s Umicore Group announced that it will invest 1 billion euros in Southeast Asia to build a chemical park to fill the demand gap for lithium anode materials in the Asia-Pacific region. Message.
Bem, who turned his attention back to the computer, found that the news seemed to have a strange pattern.
That is, out of every 10 news items, 5 are related to China.
Even if it is not directly related, it is at least indirectly relevant.
For example, Brazil’s Vale Iron Ore Company announced that it has increased production because the infrastructure market in Southeast Asia has driven up the price of iron ore in the past. According to the analysis of professionals in their investment banks, the cross-regional power grid plays an extremely important role. ……
As for why there is such a huge demand gap for lithium anode materials, there is no need to say anything more. Now even some people are studying to incorporate modified pdms materials into the futures market for trading.
Just when he thought about the important investment information behind the news, the host standing in the live broadcast of the online news suddenly took a note from the assistant or the staff.
A quick glance at the contents of the note, the face of the news host changed instantly.
Even with a layer of screen, Bem can read a trace of unusual taste from the face of the host’s face.
This kind of thing happens from time to time on the online news platform or on the TV news platform.
And the news that is often temporarily inserted is a bad news.
However, just as Bem was preparing to put down the leather shoes on the desk and listened carefully to the news of the temporary break, the news reporter’s next two words were almost let him fall from the office chair. Go on.
“…Insert a message below.”
“According to our reporters in China, an hour ago, Huaguo Environmental Protection Department suddenly intervened to investigate East Asia Power’s core export project to California. According to informed sources, the project will be suspended for at least one month for policy reasons. The specific restart time is not fixed.”
“Shet!”
Beim, staring at the computer screen, gradually appeared a horror in his eyes, and a drop of cold sweat gradually slipped from his forehead.
It is he who is negligent.
He underestimated the determination of the Chinese people.
The counterattack of the Chinese nation is in fact inevitable, even if they are the security guards who look down the gate.
It’s just that he didn’t think that everything would come so suddenly, suddenly he didn’t have time to make an early deployment…
Everything has already begun.
