Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 300 Financial Crisis
Listening to Xia Xiu's soft tone, the head of the [Sphinx] shook up and down quickly, and the circles inside its pupils had already disappeared.It turned off [Insight of Wisdom], and almost triggered the [Death Mechanism] just now, making it understand that the blond youth in front of it is not something it can open the box at will.

The man in front of him has great terror behind him.

A big customer who can't be messed with at a glance must be handled carefully and manage the problems of his own riddle beast.

"Understood, understood." [Sphinx] replied to Xia Xiu with a smile on his face.

[Sphinx] Derry felt a little surprised by this pretentious appearance, but facing the honest riddle beast, Xia Xiu directly took out the internal information that Morton gave him from the [Dimensional Pocket] File, he spread out these materials one by one in front of 【Sphinx】.

"This is the internal high-level list of a company called Valais Thermal Power. I know that [Financial Beast]'s power in the financial field can be multiplied. It can retrieve a lot of financial data and analyze abnormal situations from these data. .”

The blond young man smiled and pointed to the information spread out, and directly asked [Sphinx]:

"Here, who is Mordred?"

Good guy, this is not even wanting to act anymore, just ask yourself a question.The riddle beast said directly in his heart.

Mordred, the most famous betrayer in the stories of King Arthur in the Fog City and Farland, entrusted all affairs in Camelot to King Arthur when he went to Brittany to capture Lancelot. Mordred, but to King Arthur's surprise, Mordred took the opportunity to betray himself, usurped Arthur's throne, and took control of the Kingdom of Camelot.

This kind of obvious referential word, who has read a little bit of King Arthur legend, knows what it represents. This is not even a riddle. It is equivalent to asking him directly in the face: Who is the traitor?
Normally, if someone asked [Sphinx] like this, it would definitely use groups of riddles to make things difficult for the other party, but it would never dare to offend the man in front of him who almost triggered the [Death Mechanism].

"I'll take a look."

[Sphinx] simply replied, and then, a ring appeared inside its pupil, which was completely different from the previous state where multiple rings were superimposed together.

A single ring quickly spun inside the [Sphinx], and rows of complex data and information quickly flowed through its brain, and soon, it sensed what the other party wanted.

After discovering the information that Xia Xiu wanted, the pupils of the [Sphinx] returned to normal, but there was an abnormally tangled expression on his face. At the moment, it was struggling with what simple and clear riddles it should use to convey the information it knew. Pass it to the other party in an effortless manner.

"It seems that you have found the information I want."

Xia Xiu looked at the [Sphinx] who was hesitant to speak, and knew that the other party had already found out who was the traitor of Valais Thermal Power, but because of its own characteristics and the existence of the "Financial Law", it could not directly say come out.

"Now that we know who Mordred is, then it's just a matter of arrangement and combination."

Xia Xiu smiled, he naturally has a way to deal with the characteristics of [Sphinx].

Xia Xiu once again took out the financial reports of Valais Thermoelectricity that he had specially asked for from Morton before, and the next thing to do was to use these reports to play a number riddle game with [Sphinx] tactfully.

Numeral riddles are also considered riddles. This kind of game is used to deduce the missing number or the next number based on the given numbers and rules. Know what's wrong.

Xia Xiu believes that the traitors of Valais Thermal Power must have secretly invested a lot of sunken capital in Giovanni. Therefore, he will definitely use the corporate funds for personal and improper purposes, and those experienced inside the financial company Accountants will definitely make the accounts beautiful.

Once you invest too much capital in something, no matter whether it is beneficial to you or not, you can no longer get out, because you know that if the principal you have sunk into has not been returned, it is equivalent to that you have been doing it in vain No one wants to admit that what they did was in vain.

"Now, let's use these numbers to guess one by one." The golden-haired young man's golden eyes flowed, and the light of wisdom wandered in them.

[Sphinx] actually hates number guessing riddles, it has severe riddle disease, which makes it want to say riddles all the time, but among the many riddles, only number riddles are the one it hates the most.

A riddle is a cryptic, intriguing question or description expressed verbally that requires reasoning, thinking, or interpretation to find the answer.

Riddles are a variety of cryptic and intellectually challenging language games.It usually appears in the form of a question and answer, asking a riddle (question) to find out the answer (answer) through reasoning and association.

The joy of riddles lies in challenging the mind through hints and puns in words, allowing people to try to think about problems from different angles.

The number riddle is different, it is an alternative existence, the cold number is the appearance of truth, and the number riddle is just a vague exploration of the truth appearance-great but boring.

But today, [Sphinx] suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and started a game about numbers with Xia Xiu.

In the next period of time, the question and answer of one person and one beast echoed in the secret meeting room of the casino.

after an hour.

【Sphinx】disappeared in the conference room as floating light, Xia Xiu also began to sort out the information in his hands, he has found the 'Modred' of Valais Thermoelectric, and the other party will also shoot Giovanni of bullets.

While the blond youth was sorting out the materials, the Adelie penguin on the side asked him at the right time:
"Mr. Abraham, can we now discuss in detail the [short selling] item you mentioned earlier?"

As members of [Financial Street], as financiers and traders, they must always maintain a profit-seeking heart.

Facing Derry's question, Xia Xiu did not hide his goal.

"John Giovanni, that's what I want you guys to [short] for."

When Xia Xiu mentioned John Giovanni as a short target, Derry was stunned unconsciously.

The performance of the private equity firm owned by Giovanni can be described as thriving.

short him?It is impossible no matter how you think about it, unless there is a big event that affects the entire [Financial Street], it will be difficult for Giovanni to be [short].

"Giovanni estimates that [investment expansion] will start in the next period of time. He now has a large amount of surplus assets, so he will definitely use these assets to open up new markets." Xia Xiu continued slowly, rubbing his chin, "His expansion is bound to Will buy a lot of foreign stocks, and this is the opportunity to [short] him.”

As a financial street with huge private assets, John Giovanni can be said to affect the whole body. If there is a thunderstorm in one place on his body, then there will be thunderstorms in other assets of his.Giovanni must not make a wrong decision. Once the decision is wrong, the capital chain maintained by him alone will be broken, which will inevitably lead to a series of collapses.

"You want to lead the thunder to Giovanni, but how can you be sure that he can step on the thunder? How can you ensure that he will act according to your will?" Derry asked his own doubts.

Hearing Derry's doubts, Xia Xiu raised the documents in his hands and waved them.

"This is the key, you just wait here, when the time comes, I will give you a piece of information, which is enough for you to convince the people on the board of directors."

"Then I shall wait for news from you."

The one-person-one-penguin cooperation was completed to the satisfaction of both parties. After a few simple and polite exchanges, the two parties left the conference room. Xia Xiu declined the other party's lunch invitation and left the casino alone.

Having obtained the information, Xia Xiu came to an 'Internet Cafe'.

Here, you only need to pay 10 [basic assets] to be able to link to [Financial Street] public [castrated version·Pedigree Network Road], and experience the fun of the Pedigree Network.

[Financial Street]'s pedigree network channel is an infinitely castrated version of pedigree network. It can be used by ordinary people, but it is limited to information dissemination and screen display, and it can be used without releasing any EVE particles. A pedigree network Tao can easily cover a city. If it is completely released, the human society of Terra will enter an era of more convenient and smooth communication.

If it can spread in the human world, then human society is bound to be pushed forward again.

However, the above-mentioned content only sounds good. This kind of pedigree network has no life of pedigree, but has the disease of pedigree network. The net is hundreds of times higher.

If a person is accidentally infected with a virus, then basically all humans connected to the network will have to send it.

Therefore, there are so few people who come to 'Internet cafes' to surf the Internet.

Xia Xiu quickly opened an outlet, and then went to the outlet to connect to the pedigree network channel, and then he sent the traitor information he had obtained to Morton via public mail through the pedigree network channel.

He sent most of the traitor's information to Morton, leaving only one traitor's information in his hand, and this traitor's information is very important.

——[Director of Valais Thermoelectricity: Hayden Frederick]——

Shares held by Valais Thermal Power: 13.35%
Giovanni's private company holdings: 1.2 million [basic assets]/8 million [extraordinary assets]
Shareholdings of Long En Company: 1.1 million [Extraordinary Assets]
Other holdings:·····

--------

Xia Xiu was very interested in this director. As for the reason for his interest, it was not because he was an insider of Valais Thermoelectricity, but because of the other party's shareholding, especially Longen Company.

Lone & Co. This is a company that is very famous in the future because of its involvement in a wide-ranging and complex financial scandal.

This scandal involves many aspects such as Long & En's senior management, accounting firms and investment banks.

[Lone Securities Fraud Case], one of the biggest scandals in Edison's business history, this is a case involving fraud, bankruptcy, and political scandal that has resulted in the destruction of many people's wealth and lives.

Founded in 1585, Long Company was originally an extraordinary property company with [Natural Gas Series Thaumatology] and [Electric Thaumatology] as its main business.With the passage of time, Ron developed rapidly and became one of the leaders in the Edison trading market, and gained a high reputation in [Financial Street].

However, in fact, in the process of controlling the company's operations, the senior executives of Long Company used a series of false and illegal acts to disguise the company's financial situation for personal gain.They conspired with Enron accounting firm to use complex accounting methods to cover up the company's huge debts and losses, while creating false income and profits.

By creating special purpose entities (Special Purpose Entities, SPEs), Lone Corporation transferred a large amount of debt to these entities, allowing the company to present a lower level of debt on the financial statements.These entities are masked in financial statements, making it difficult for investors to discover what is really going on.Long Corporation also cooperated with other companies to carry out mutual transactions and capital exchanges, which further concealed its true financial status.

In order to maintain the stability of the company's stock price and the trust of investors, the senior management of Long Company also adopted a series of incentive measures, such as high salary incentives, stock options and bonuses, to motivate employees to actively participate in fraudulent activities, and to maintain the company's stock price. rise.

However, this fraud was eventually revealed.

Next year, a Lone whistleblower will make the company's financial scandal public.

Subsequently, the media and regulators will begin to investigate the matter and find a large amount of evidence that the company's financial statements contain serious misrepresentations and misleading statements.

This led to a sharp decline in investors' trust in Long Company, causing the company's stock price to plummet rapidly.

Due to the exposure of financial scandals, the Long Company finally filed for bankruptcy protection in December 1691.

This bankruptcy case is one of the largest corporate bankruptcy in the history of [Financial Street].

The [Securities Fraud Case] ​​of Long En Company shocked the entire [Financial Street], causing twelve [Financial Behemoths] to control the internal governance of [Financial Street].

In this financial turmoil, countless [financial beasts] were devoured by twelve [financial behemoths]. Any existence that endangered the operation of [financial street] would be severely crushed by Eddie's iron fist.

The blond young man looked at Hayden Frederick's profile, his eyes shone with a special luster.

Yes, Xia Xiu planned to personally detonate this financial storm, making this shock even more violent, and let John Giovanni drown in this storm.
