American Peanuts

Chapter 90 Mental Geek (24)

Three days later, in Washington, the scene of the hearing on Charlie Rossi's suspected market manipulation.

"Mr. Charlie Rossi, please tell me, what was the purpose of posting those tweets predicting the economic crisis two and a half months ago?" the head of the Special Investigative Committee began to ask Charlie Rossi.

Dozens of media gathered around the table where Charlie Rossi sat. This was not a court hearing, and the media could of course take close-up shots. The arrival of these photographers made the place seem a bit noisy.

Charlie, who was in a suit and tie, took a sip of water slowly, and the sound of swallowing spread through the microphone to the entire scene.

I hope I won't be Photoshopped into an alien.Charlie thought so.

Then he pointed the microphone at his mouth and began to explain: "This was purely out of personal good intentions. I wanted to send an early warning message to the public. Looking back now, my judgment is obviously correct."

"S**t, he's lying..."

Behind Charlie Rossi, many people complained, and they were all lawyers and lobbyists hired by some financial institutions.

Their patrons, who had suffered heavy losses last week, were itching to send Charlie Rossi to jail.

"Then why did you stop all related operations in early May? Can you talk about your thoughts at the time." The other party continued to ask.

"I have noticed some discussions on this matter on the Internet. It is judged that the public may have misjudged the current situation. Experience tells me that it is not suitable to enter the market at that time."

"In other words, you will pay attention to the public's reaction before each operation? And use this as the basis for the operation." The other party continued to ask.

"In fact, that is only a very small part of the determining factors. This round of fund operations relies more on my intuition and experience." Charlie clarified at this time.

If you fall into the other party's language trap, you may really be labeled as manipulating the market.

"Then let's discuss some operational details." The other party chose to move on to the next question.

Not only Charlie Rossi, but also John Paulson next to him is also accepting questions from time to time, and he just says what he has to say.

In fact, in the previous life, he was the investor who made the most profits during the economic crisis, sitting in the position of Charlie Rossi, and now this title deserves to belong to Charlie Rossi.

About two hours later, Charlie Rossi walked out of the hall under heavy escort.

The impassioned people outside the building held signs with the word "murderer" written on them, and someone also drew a picture of a demon villain with Charlie Rossi's name on it, holding a trident, and next to eight corpses.

Ignoring the chants from the crowd, Charlie Rossi and John Paulson boarded a car.

"It seems you have encountered new trouble." John Paulson looked at the angry crowd outside the car window, feeling a little worried for Charlie Rossi.

"Let's not talk about it for now. The hearing will help both of us clear our suspicions. From now on, we will have nothing to do with this matter." Charlie Rossi held a cigar in his mouth and took two quick puffs to let the taste fill his mouth.

Three days after getting his hands on this stuff from Spielberg, he loved it and bought a full kit for it, and of course Cuban Cohiba cigars.

"Yes, this matter is over. FBL didn't trouble you, right?" John Paulson asked worriedly.

"Of course not. The so-called investigation is just a formality like this hearing. Not only that, FBL has to send people to protect me. I am in complete danger now." Charlie Rossi put down his cigar.

He has now confirmed that someone is attacking him. As for who the other party is, it is still unknown, but it is certain that he has been in contact with the other party directly or indirectly, and his existence has hurt the other party's interests.

Whether it is Spielberg or the TV station, I am cooperating with them, and both parties will benefit.

Of course there will be people on Wall Street who hate me, just listen to the complaining voices behind me, but I have already spoken out and will no longer be involved in any short- to medium-term investments.

The film industry itself has just entered, and it is far from making enemies.

As for the media group, the possibility is even lower. It only has one magazine. In the eyes of others, this size is just a small shrimp.

After thinking about it, Charlie didn't understand who this potential opponent was.

I am afraid that it is precisely because of this concealment that the other party is so unscrupulous.

Next, John Paulson extended an invitation to Charlie, hoping that he could stay and have dinner with their family.

"I also want to stay for a meal, but the plane is still waiting for me, and I have to go back to Chicago." Charlie said apologetically.

John Paulson nodded: "Of course, career is the most important, and we can meet again at any time later."

John Paulson got out of the car shortly after and Gal Gadot turned the car around and headed to the private airport.

·
Since the last time Charlie scolded the welcome ceremony in the company, no one would welcome Charlie back with much fanfare.

Even when he appeared in the company's top-floor office again after a long absence, the employees seemed to turn a blind eye to him and everything was as usual.

When Charlie entered the office, the employees seemed to come to their senses and began to whisper among themselves.

Five minutes later, Ossenzweig walked into Charlie Rossi's office.

"Sir, welcome back. The thing you asked me to pay attention to before...that company has appeared." Without any extra greetings, Ossenzweig said as soon as he came up.

"Are you talking about the MANWIN company?" Charlie mentioned a name.

He had indeed brought the company to Ossenzweig's attention before.

"Yes, this is a company from Canada. Just yesterday, the founder of the company came to the headquarters in person with several of his subordinates. They wanted to see you. I made an appointment today, and the agreed time is just one hour later. "

"Very good, you did a great job. Get ready. We will meet with them later. You will also attend, along with William and Saul." Charlie ordered.

It can be said that everything was just right. After he earned the start-up capital, the company began to contact him.

This time the clock of history finally became accurate. At the end of 07 in the previous life, this company approached PB.

ManWin's name is not well-known to the world. Later, the company changed its name to "Mind Geek", which means mind geek. The black and yellow logo is its website.

In essence, this company makes money in the same way as Google, it is an advertising company.

Charlie entered the conference room first with Artis, followed by William, then Ossenzweig, and finally Saul.

"Wow, I finally saw Charlie Rossi again in the conference room. I thought it was the last time he would appear here in his life." Saul said with some exaggeration.

After acquiring the company, senior management would hold meetings here every Friday, but except for the first time, Charlie Rossi never appeared at the meeting again. All previous meetings were chaired by Ossenzweig. As for that The seat in the prime position has never been occupied.

"Business negotiations require a formal setting." Charlie Rossi said.

"Business negotiations? It sounds like the Son of God is ready to flex his muscles again." Thor smiled.

After the war on Wall Street, Charlie Rossi finally started new actions.It was only then that he suddenly realized that maybe the two things were causally related.

It’s not that you want to acquire this company when you have money, but you need a sum of money to acquire this company.

"Absolutely." Charlie Rossi nodded.

During the small talk at the beginning of the meeting, Charlie Rossi asked Artis to next learn how to use a cigar.

After a while, the other party appeared in the conference room, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Charlie Rossi.

"I never thought that acquiring two pay channels would make Charlie Rossi come in person. I'm glad to meet you, sir." The other party took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Charlie.
