The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

January 1995, Moscow, Tupolev Design Bureau.

Today, an explosion occurred in a laboratory within the design bureau, and the KGB immediately dispatched personnel to conduct an investigation.

KGB agents Gaidar, Birlianu, and Semenov were also present.

A large amount of shredded paper appeared throughout the design bureau, suggesting that someone was deliberately misleading people.

"The enemy most likely wants to steal blueprints or technical data related to the Tu-160 strategic bomber, which is absolutely unacceptable."

"KGB chief Semenov said with a solemn expression."

The onlookers nodded in agreement.

The key now is to break the deadlock, not to be a nodding goose.

"We need to take these documents with us."

"No, this is confidential information belonging to our design bureau. It cannot leave the design bureau."

Semenov's face turned ashen. "Fine then," he said, "we, the KGB, will move into your design bureau. If we disturb your work, then we are truly sorry."

Whether it was a sin or had another purpose remains unknown.

Given the current situation, no one dares to make any promises lightly.

In short, we'll take it one step at a time.

As the person in charge, Semenov was under immense pressure. He had to deal with multiple forces and appease everyone's demands, which was no easy task.

Ugh!
An hour later, Matthew Barron met Menatepdov on the other side of Moscow.

The latter conveyed important intelligence: an explosion had occurred at the design bureau, but Gaidar did not transmit the relevant technical data.

"It's okay, take your time, no rush."

Matthew Barron wasn't in a hurry; instead, he comforted the other person.

Because he knew very well that the Tu-160 bomber was not so easy to get his hands on.

If things had progressed that quickly, Matthew Barron would probably have become a senior executive at Want Want Group long ago, just like Martinez.

It should be noted that he, along with Martinez, Kaltiem, Brumik, Picroven, and others, went undercover in Moscow in the late 1980s.

Starting in 1990, Moscow began its decline, which presented Martinez and his team with an opportunity to rise to prominence.

Of all those people, only Martinez truly thrived.

Matthew Barron even heard that Martinez, that bastard, held a very high position among the senior executives within the Want Want Group.

He wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but one thing he was certain of was that he hoped to replicate Martinez's path and smoothly enter the ranks of executives.

Unfortunately, becoming a senior executive is much harder now than it was a few years ago.

Ugh!
The Tu-160 bomber was the best mission Matthew Barron had ever received; as long as he could complete it successfully, everything else would be fine.

Menatepdov was deeply moved upon hearing this.

"Boss, please rest assured, I will cooperate fully and strive to obtain the relevant information as soon as possible."

After their meeting, Matthew Barron immediately arranged for someone to contact Semenov.

The latter person was already a high-ranking KGB officer and a pawn secretly planted by Matthew Barron.

Semenov was a man who deeply hated Americans. In 1981, he even personally arrested Connolly, an agent of the Special Operations Department of the National Security Agency.

They also subjected the agent to severe torture, obtaining a great deal of highly classified information.

Ultimately, this information became the basis for Semenov's promotion.

Throughout the 1980s, Semenov enjoyed great success, and he thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his career.

After all, at that time, their country was quite powerful and was one of the two poles of the world.

Unexpectedly, this polar bear became unfit for life in just a few years.

Semenov knew of the existence of the Moscow nobility because he had captured many of these scoundrels.

But he never expected that their country was rotten to the core.

There's no way to save it.

When 1990 arrived, war broke out everywhere, and Semenov was completely bewildered. What had happened to their country?
From high aspirations to bewildered confusion, and then to complete disorientation, Semenov only took less than two years.

After Russia was established, Semenov was completely disheartened.

At the same time, his beloved wife was also diagnosed with cancer, but he had no money for treatment.

Simply because the treatment costs are too high.

At that time, everyone was focused on making money, and no one was willing to lend him a helping hand.

It was because he offended many people along the way after becoming a high-ranking member of the KGB.

Those Moscow nobles aren't completely extinct yet. If he weren't still working for the KGB, he would have been killed by them long ago.

Just when he was at his wit's end, heartbroken, and could only watch helplessly as his wife waited to die, Matthew Barron suddenly appeared.

For Semenov, the exorbitant medical expenses were overwhelming.

But for Matthew Barron, one or two million dollars is just an ordinary sum of money that he can take out at any time, and he has more than that amount of money.

So Semenov changed his appearance and became a completely different person.

Life is such a wonderful thing; no one is immune to change.

The polar bear has become the Arctic coward, and Yeltsin is no longer the invincible Brezhnev of yesteryear.

"Coward and spineless" was Yeltsin's nickname at that time.

irony!

When Semenov saw the familiar yet unfamiliar phone number calling, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The reason he was familiar with it was because he often took it out to look at the number, and it was already etched deep in his mind.

As for the unfamiliarity, it's because he had only spoken to the owner of this number once, nothing more.

"Semenov, I need your help."

"I know, I've been waiting for your call."

"Good, very good."

Matthew Barron was taken aback by the other party's bluntness.

"Are you aware of the explosion that occurred today at the Tupolev Design Bureau laboratory?"

"Of course, this is the case I'm in charge of."

"Very good, I need to know all the details of this case. I wonder if you can help me?"

"can!"

Semenov agreed without hesitation.

He used to despise and hate the traitorous behavior of the Moscow nobles.

But now, it seems he has become one of them.

The dragon-slaying youth eventually becomes the dragon himself.

A quote I read as a child, which I scoffed at the time, has now become a reality.

Driven by life's pressures and other realities, Semenov is now much clearer about what he truly wants.

"Do you want the technical data on the Tu-160 bomber?"

Suddenly, he spoke abruptly, startling Matthew Barron on the other end of the phone, who then nodded decisively.

"Yes, our target is indeed the Tu-160 bomber. So, can you help us?"

The whole of Russia is protecting the Tu-160 bomber, preventing anyone from spying on it in every way.

Semenov, who worked for the KGB, had a clearer understanding of this.

Therefore, upon hearing the other party's request, he had already guessed their purpose.

The Tu-160 bomber, that's a national treasure.

But Semenov now treats it merely as a toy, a toy that can be bought and sold at will, without any sense of awe or respect whatsoever.

If other Moscow nobles can do it, why can't he?
Back then, at least 80 percent of the millions of Moscow nobles were doing this.

Why can't Semenov do it?
Being honest and incorruptible meant that he could only watch helplessly as his wife died.

So there's not much to say.

"Okay, so what can you provide for me?"

Matthew Barron suddenly regretted it. Could this Semenov be a fool?

Did you not have any reservations when you said that?
This kid, isn't he at all worried about being eavesdropped on?
"It's not a good time to talk on the phone. Come to this address at 6 PM today."

"it is good!"

Semenov's decisiveness, on the contrary, made Matthew Barron suspicious.

That evening, a secluded residence in the suburbs of Moscow, which looked like a villa, was actually a private restaurant.

It relies on word-of-mouth, not on anything else.

Furthermore, this restaurant only serves ten tables of customers per day; it won't take more than that.

Matthew Barron and Semenov got along very well after meeting.

The deal regarding the Tu-160 bombers seems to be quite simple.

"I know a supervisor at the design bureau named Nurbagansky."

Semenov's plan was simple: to coordinate an attack from within and without.

As a high-ranking KGB officer, Semenov wielded astonishing power.

If he doesn't allow it, then there's really nothing the outside world can do, but if he cooperates, then everything becomes very simple.

Because he had worked in the KGB for many years, he knew who could be trusted, who was greedy for money, and who was lecherous.

Semenov was also very clear about the situation of the Moscow nobles.

It was because he knew this that he knew about Nurbagansky.

This person is extremely secretive, but he is definitely a greedy and lustful man.

Dealing with this kind of person is incredibly simple.

The reason why Nurbagansky has remained unscathed is because of his own strength and status; indeed, no one would easily touch him.

Because in the field of bombers, Nurbagansky did indeed possess several core technologies, and we really couldn't do without him.

Taking him down would be easy, but the technical aspects are not so easy to overcome.

Are you sure you can convince them?

Matthew Barron's heart skipped a beat; it was the first time he had ever felt so close to a Tu-160 bomber.

"No problem at all!"

Semenov nodded emphatically, indicating that there was no problem.

"Okay, in that case, you'll be in charge. I'll cover the cost."

Since that's the case, Matthew Barron naturally decided to go all out.

If this matter succeeds, that would be the best outcome; if not, then we'll just have to wait.

Los Angeles, California.

"The Lord of the Rings has finished its theatrical run, with a record-breaking total box office of $720 million in North America."

The fact that a single film grossed $720 million in a single market is truly unprecedented.

I really don't know how much of the box office revenue came from the original "Lord of the Rings" books.

Because if it weren't for them inflating box office figures, it wouldn't be possible to achieve such high numbers.

On the other hand, the high box office performance is also due to the presence of a super-profitable manufacturing plant.

Upon hearing this, the president of Warner Bros.' face instantly darkened.

The Lord of the Rings isn't a Warner Bros. movie; not only is it completely unrelated, but because of The Lord of the Rings, Warner Bros.' other films released at the same time were completely overshadowed.

What a bad decision.

The current situation is that Paramount and MGM are making a fortune, while other Hollywood giants are barely getting a taste of the profits.

It's perfectly normal to get red eyes.

"They're making 'Independence Day 2' this year, right? We'll bring out our Batman to stop them."

Right now, this is the only big weapon Warner Bros. has left; otherwise, Paramount and the other studios would have won the box office in 1995.

Paramount and MGM have been the happiest two giants in the last month or two.

But the good days are probably coming to an end.

After New Year's Day, Lord of the Rings will be released in major box office markets around the world, and Warner Bros. has already put other movies out there to compete with it.

Despite the European market, success was not an obstacle.

However, in other markets such as South America and Latin America, a wave of resistance is definitely necessary.

There's also the Asian market, especially Japan, which is the world's second-largest box office market. Warner Bros. certainly can't let The Lord of the Rings get more box office revenue.

Paramount and MGM were well-prepared for the challenges from giants like Warner Bros., Disney, and 20th Century Fox, and were not afraid at all.

Moreover, even if Lord of the Rings doesn't earn much at the box office in Japan, it's still pure profit, given its global success.

Paramount has already made a fortune in the North American market alone.

Right now, however, Levin Burns and Rowland Winster are focused on the prize money.

The year-end summary meeting has ended, and they have received orders from the big boss to attend the meeting today.

A unique meeting is underway in a large villa located on the cliffs of Malibu, Los Angeles.

There were quite a few people attending the meeting, but Levin Burns and his group were just minor figures among them.

After all, the bosses who can come to this villa must have a net worth of at least five hundred million US dollars.

In Want Want Group, anyone with a net worth of over one billion US dollars is definitely a senior executive.

Between five hundred million and one billion US dollars, they are either heads of subsidiaries or senior executives in reserve.

Given the current global scale of Want Want Group, there are more than ten senior management candidates alone.

"Wow, my prize money is fifty million US dollars? That much?"

Levin Burns saw the red envelope he had received, which contained a check.

And Levin Burns is one of the nominal shareholders of this bank.

Therefore, he knew the check very well.

This is a real check, not a fake one.

Fifty million US dollars, that's a lot.

As a rising star among California's wealthy, Levin Burns is quite rich, with an actual net worth exceeding $500 million.

However, he was still very surprised to receive a year-end bonus of 50 million.

To his even greater surprise, the big boss behind him learned of his achievements.

This is the most important thing.

As long as the big boss values ​​him, Levin Burns will never have to worry about money.

Who can blame them when their big boss is so rich and willing to invest money?

Rowland Winster, who was standing next to him, also received a prize, five million dollars less than Levin Burns, but it was still a considerable amount.

They were in charge of Hollywood giants, and Paramount's revenue and profits in 1994 were significantly higher than MGM's.

So it's normal that Levin Burns received more prize money.

The two were not happy for long when they overheard other executives discussing something: starting this year, they would increase investment.

It's even possible that researchers could be offered annual salaries of one million US dollars, or even five million or ten million US dollars.

The executives even hoped that everyone could make internal referrals.

If the referral is successful, the referrer can receive a substantial reward, and even the affirmation and recognition from the big boss behind the scenes, which is the most important thing.

Levin Burns and the others were stunned. What was going on?
In the following days, several of the world's top-ranked headhunting firms received job requests.

For highly skilled professionals in cutting-edge fields such as mathematics, materials science, physics, and aerodynamics, headhunting firms can receive 50% of the talent's annual salary as a commission for successfully recommending one person for a job.

For example, if a top talent with an annual salary of one million US dollars successfully joins the Magic Institute, the headhunting company can receive a total of 500,000 US dollars in compensation, but it will be received in installments.

Even so, many headhunting firms immediately became excited.

Because the tasks they were given, with an annual salary of a million dollars, were just the basics.

There are also many top talents with annual salaries of several million, or even tens of millions of US dollars.

However, they are mostly R&D personnel.

Goodness, so many companies are suddenly doing this. Is this going to start a fierce competition?
Rising labor costs will inevitably lead to a surge in end-user prices.

Otherwise, the company will go bankrupt.

The actions of headhunters have alarmed major research institutions, companies, and government agencies worldwide.

In the office of the head of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Gaia Blair rubbed his temples.
"Are you here to submit your resignation letter too?"

Another person came to resign today, and this time it was Walker Adam, the head of the technology department.

He is one of the top technical and management talents at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, holds multiple patents, and currently earns an annual salary of two million US dollars.

Logically speaking, Walker Adam's life was already quite perfect, so why did he have to make things difficult for himself?

Keep in mind that he has signed a non-compete agreement, making it impossible for him to leave Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a top-tier, multi-talented individual.

Even if he resigns, he will be restricted from leaving the United States and will be prohibited from working in that field.

Otherwise, he would face endless imprisonment. "Yes, I have made up my mind."

Walker Gaia said calmly.

He has passed the "interview" at the Magic Institute and received a job with an annual salary of eight million US dollars.

As for the non-compete agreement and the travel restrictions, those are not issues.

Anyway, the Magic Research Institute will help him solve these minor problems; all he needs to do is to be responsible for his work.

If you perform well enough, your year-end bonus can be even more generous.

And he wasn't the first to try something new, so he wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher positions; this is a perfectly normal life choice.

Gaia Blair sighed, "Alright, leave your resignation letter here. Don't rush off; we'll consider it."

A raise?

Haha, if there were a pay raise, then not so many people in the technical department would choose to leave.

In less than a month, five people have successfully left the company, and eight others have submitted their resignation letters.

Although the technical department seems to have quite a few people, in reality, most of those who remain are ordinary, mediocre individuals.

There are ultimately very few top talents in this world.

From Oak Ridge National Laboratory to the San Diego Supercomputing Center, from Brookhaven National Laboratory to Los Alamos National Laboratory, the talent pool in North America's top laboratories is crumbling.

Meanwhile, Lawrence Lab, Hobbes Centre for Supercomputing, Cambridge Institute for Advanced Study, Future Technology Lab, and many other institutions have come to the attention of interested parties.

Washington, D.C., CIA headquarters building, inside the director's office.

With panda eyes, Baker Barnes picked up the intelligence documents at hand and, though angry, asked listlessly:
"Prometheus, are you saying that in the past month alone, a large number of top talents have resigned and gone to institutions such as Lawrence Labs?"

"Yes, BOSS!"

Prometheus glanced at Roland Morgan, the Federal Reserve Commissioner sitting next to him, and said:

"According to our investigation, Lawrence Labs is a European-capital-controlled entity. We also found that they invested in and established a company called Blackwater."

"This Blackwater company now possesses formidable strength, having purchased multiple Black Hawk helicopters, Chinook transport helicopters, and other equipment and weapons. They have also applied to purchase F-15 fighter jets."

"In addition, they seem to have prepared multiple methods overseas, but we haven't been able to find out the specifics yet because we have too few people."

As the world's number one intelligence agency, the CIA possesses a vast amount of intelligence data.

However, in recent years, they have been constantly on the go, with cases involving huge sums of money and mercenary organizations weighing heavily on their heads.

This meant that the CIA didn't have enough resources to investigate other cases.

For example, the unusual personnel movement at institutions such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory has surprised many capitalists, who have been asking around about the situation.

When it comes to understanding the situation overseas best, the CIA is definitely the one.

So Baker Barnes' phone kept ringing as many bigwigs called to inquire.

This is also one of the main reasons why he has panda eyes.

European capital?

Beckbarnes felt a wave of discouragement; this was truly a battle of gods, leaving mortals to suffer.

On the North American continent, although European capital has never directly confronted the capital giants in New York, it has always engaged in guerrilla warfare and harassment tactics.

Even if they were to face them head-on, they would use various means to escape unscathed.

Today, European capital has firmly established itself in North America, and this time it is even a deliberate provocation.

Is this considered revenge?
Anyway, Beckbarnes was feeling a chill down his spine at that moment. He couldn't get involved in this matter, nor was it something he could.

"Okay, investigate however you want. Right now, our most important task is still the Super Dollar case."

Before Federal Reserve Commissioner Roland Morgan could even utter a word, Baker Barnes spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Prometheus nodded silently to indicate that he understood.

The intelligence agency won't have a good day until the Super Dollar counterfeit money case is solved.

Perhaps there's nothing they can do this year; they'll just have to wait for the next year.

However, it is clear that the Federal Reserve cannot wait indefinitely; once a technological breakthrough is achieved, it will inevitably overturn the table.

After Roland Morgan left, Baker Barnes summoned Prometheus and several other department heads.

"Gentlemen, our situation is extremely dangerous. Please be careful."

"Mr. Herbert from the White House just called me personally. He's also concerned about personnel movement at institutions like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, but he told us not to get involved."

Wow!
There was an uproar in the conference room.

In fact, they are all seasoned veterans, so they naturally know these things very well.

George Herbert personally called and told their intelligence agency not to get involved in the matter.

This shows that European capital has already bribed George Herbert, forcing him to take a stand.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case, but it's the truth.

Prometheus and his team understood that this was indeed a matter their intelligence agency could intervene in.

It's currently a battle between the capital behind the scenes; it all comes down to who has the stronger connections and the richer the funds.

Rewind half a day, in Texas, at the golf course where the Herbert family's rural home is located, Yabo Fein is playing golf with members of the Herbert family.

The Herbert family has many members. The eldest, Walker, is now the governor of Texas and is expected to run for re-election.

In addition, there is the third brother, Neil, who is an oil businessman who has business dealings with the Want Want Group and earns a lot of money every year.

And his youngest son, Marvin Pierce, also went into business.

The second son, Jeb Herbert, was his father's most beloved child, but unfortunately, he wasn't very successful.

Jeb and his older brother Walker both ran for governor two years ago; Jeb ran for governor of Florida but lost.

Ironically, it was Walker Jr., who was the least valued but also the most successful at getting by, who successfully ran for governor of Texas.

Right now, Yabo Fein is playing golf with Walker Jr., and they're naturally talking about things that are relevant to the present moment.

“Your father will be leaving his job in 1998. Don’t you want to take that position?”

"Yabofan said with a smile," Walker said, shaking his head.

"I'm already very lucky to have become the governor of Texas. I'm just a playboy with no grand ambitions in life."

That is indeed the case.

In his early years, Walker was always a playboy. In the 1970s and 80s, the term "Beat Generation" in America referred to him and his peers.

What did that decadent generation do?

This is actually a literary genre that became popular in the United States after World War II.

The writers of this school are all unrestrained, bold, and unconventional young men and women. They live simple lives, are unkempt, like to wear strange clothes, despise work and blood, and refuse to take on any social status.

They enjoy wandering the world, despise social laws and order, and oppose all worldly conventions and monopoly capitalism.

Seeking absolute freedom, indulging in debauchery, drug use, and moral decay, in order to challenge respectable traditional values.

For example, the famous Steve Jobs, and the handsome New York businessman Bill Clinton, etc., they were all members of the lost generation.

Yes, the media portrayal and the social environment at the time certainly reflected this.

However, even Walker Jr. has returned to a normal life now, hasn't he?

He even achieved what many people couldn't.

After all, not just anyone can become the governor of Texas.

His brother Jeb was so outstanding, even the chairman of the Elephant Party, but so what? He still didn't become the governor of Florida.

Yabo Fein knew Walker very well; the man was very cunning and adept at concealing his true thoughts.

So he didn't think much of it.

As we continued chatting with Walker, the topic quickly shifted to the case of the super-dollar factory, which has been one of the most troublesome issues in recent years.

But Walker Jr. was clearly not interested in the topic.

His expression even looked quite helpless.

"The Federal Reserve has sent people to see me many times, you know? They've actually come to see me again and again."

"To be honest, I'm not my father. I'm just a minor governor. I haven't even figured out the situation here in Texas yet."

"Even the intelligence agency can't do anything about counterfeit money rings, right? What's the point of coming to me?"

Those who are vicious and ruthless are to be dealt with, after all they are are just brutes with strong limbs.

But Walker knew that counterfeit money rings were the most concentrated places for criminals, and that these people were definitely high-IQ criminals who could not be caught so easily.

Therefore, he absolutely did not want to provoke counterfeit money groups, and was even reluctant to talk about these topics with outsiders.

Therefore, he also advised Yabofan that it was best not to pay attention to this matter.

Yabo Fein was speechless at Walker's cowardly theory.

After skipping that topic, they started talking about other things.

Regarding the recent poaching of top talent from institutions such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Walker expressed his understanding.

"I know about these laboratories at the Magic Research Institute; they seem to be related to you, right?"

“That’s right, we did invest.” Yabofan didn’t mince words and frankly admitted it.

Walker frowned immediately and said:

"Are you really planning to wage a full-scale war against the Morgan family? Do you want to achieve mutual destruction?"

His point was simple: he believed that young European capital was being too presumptuous.

The influence and financial power of capital giants like the Morgan family, who are based in North America, far exceed imagination.

European capital is nothing more than a group of giants that have risen rapidly over the past decade or so.

Although they are very wealthy and powerful, they ultimately lack a certain depth and substance.

Going against financial giants like the Morgan family is like throwing an egg against a rock; it's completely unnecessary.

Why can't we compromise appropriately and achieve win-win cooperation?

"This is not the outcome we wanted."

Yabo Fein shook his head and said:
"In fact, we only want to make money and develop steadily. We have no intention of getting involved in anything, nor do we intend to interfere with other powers, much less challenge old financial groups like the Morgan family."

"It's not that they're being aggressive and trying to seize our assets; they've gone too far, so we had no choice but to fight back."

Walker remained silent.

Walker had experienced firsthand just how arrogant and haughty the old financial groups were.

After all, he had gone to great lengths to help his father stand out in the election.

Ultimately, without the financial support from European capital and other sources, his father would most likely not be sitting in that position in Washington today.

European Capital owns many financial companies located all over the world.

Unfortunately, the financial sector is the domain of old financial groups like the Morgan and Rockefeller families.

Financial giants such as Raptor Fund and Maple Tree Capital have risen rapidly over the past decade, earning more than 10 billion US dollars in profits every year.

The Rockefeller and Morgan families, among other tycoons, were naturally unwilling to stand by and watch giants like the Raptor Fund devour such a large piece of the pie.

Therefore, everyone wants to invest.

They want European capital to make money for these old financial groups.

Unfortunately, European capital is very tough and always manages to get through it.

They united with some small financial groups and large individual investors to confront the old financial groups head-on.

It seems impossible, but nowadays, financial giants like Raptor Fund have become top players on Wall Street, and no one dares to ignore them.

The rise of European capital is an indisputable fact.

However, the Rockefeller family and other old financial groups are still unwilling to accept this and are still dreaming.

Some of their actions were even quite hilarious.

That is, most of the funds raised by the Raptor Fund from the sale of those fund securities came from the core financial giants under the old financial groups such as the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family.

It's both ironic and melodramatic.

On one hand, they want more and more, even threatening to destroy European capital; on the other hand, they secretly "surrender" and provide ammunition support to financial institutions such as Velociraptor Fund.

That's completely pointless and unnecessary!
Walker couldn't understand the mysterious operations of the Rockefeller family and other old financial tycoons.

But he understood one thing: those old financial groups were definitely not easy to deal with.

So he stopped pretending and spoke frankly with Yabo Fein, asking:

"So you didn't come to see me today just to play golf, right? What do you want from me? Just say it."

"I didn't want you to do anything."

Yabo Fein smiled broadly, as cunning as a fox.

"We simply want to cooperate with you, really. We hope you can inherit your father's throne."

This is a huge, open conspiracy.

But little Walker couldn't refuse.

If he had no interest in the position in Washington, he wouldn't have run for governor of Texas.

It has been many years since his father wanted to run for president.

Moreover, his father has been successfully re-elected, and he played a significant role in that process.

On the other hand, European capital also played a significant role in his successful election as governor of Texas.

It was precisely because he had witnessed the extravagant wealth, powerful audacity, and unparalleled execution capabilities of European capital that Walker Jr. was chosen for the position of intermediary.

I'm still very tempted.

What Yabo Fein was referring to was a calculated move, a scheme that Walker couldn't refuse.

The temptation of father and son becoming the heads of the household in succession is too great.

If successful, the Herbert family's strength will undoubtedly rise to a new level.

"I need to think about it."

Walker didn't agree immediately, but after a moment's hesitation, he gave an ambiguous answer.

Yabofein was not disappointed by this.

The topic has returned to the issue of headhunting firms poaching talent from institutions such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Yabo Fein said he hoped Walker could make a phone call to his father and just briefly talk about their conversation.

I believe George Herbert will understand.

"Okay!" Walker nodded.

"Come on, let's finish these last few shots."

After leaving the golf course, Walker called his father.

George Herbert, who was far away in Washington, D.C., immediately understood what Yabo Fein meant after receiving the call.

"This European capital is incredibly bold!"

George Herbert sighed and then agreed.

So he made a call to the intelligence agency.

This is the exchange of benefits.

In a luxurious villa in New York, there is a round table in the lavishly decorated hall.

At this moment, many people were sitting at the round table.

These people are all local bigwigs in New York, old financial groups, and each of them controls enormous amounts of capital.

Pick any one of them, stomp their foot, and the entire Wall Street, and even the global financial industry, will tremble.

"Gentlemen, I don't understand why you would hold a roundtable meeting over such a trivial matter."

One of the portly, Mediterranean-looking old men said, quite displeased:

"They're just talented people, right? Just give them to them. I don't believe they can afford to pay those talented people for many years with millions or tens of millions of dollars."

"Based on an annual salary of one million US dollars per person, one hundred people would be one hundred million, one thousand people would be one billion, and ten thousand people would be ten billion!"

"Gentlemen, how much capital do you think European capital has to support this? And for how many years can it last?"

That makes a lot of sense.

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, but the old man with the Mediterranean hairline immediately added:
"Besides, there's a constant influx of talent. If they poach this batch of 'leeks' with high salaries, then we can just recruit a new batch without delaying our business."

"Most importantly, which of you here doesn't own a large number of patented technologies?"

"European capital wants to break the deadlock? To break the technological monopoly? Impossible!"

Hmm, that makes more sense!

Another old man with a full beard chimed in:

“That’s right, John makes a very good point.”

"Thinking about it carefully, we were indeed too tense, even to the point of being easily frightened."

"European capital is so unwise, we don't need to be too nervous. Instead, the Super Dollar case is what we should be paying more attention to."

"Ladies and gentlemen, as time goes on, there will be more and more counterfeit US dollars in the global market. According to information from the Federal Reserve, it is estimated that there are already more than 500 billion US dollars in counterfeit currency worldwide, or even more."

"If we don't address this issue, things could get messy."

hiss! ! !
Everyone gasped in shock. (End of Chapter)
