The 10,000th Rebirth

Chapter 479 Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication

Chen Luo did not make the system interface as complicated as the Blood Source System, nor did he add an instant chat function, so members could not contact each other.

Before the number of members expanded, there was no point in doing these functions. Instead, it would make Lee Kun-hee and his people realize that there were not many people in this immortal organization.

Chen Luo roughly browsed the interface, and he was very satisfied with both the design style and the smoothness of operation.

As for the security of the immortal system, Chen Luo was not worried at all. The system he developed, plus Cain was responsible for maintenance, no one, including Cain 1.0 of Blood of Blood, could crack it.

Of course, the price was that he spent a lot of time developing it, because it involved multiple encryption technologies.

In addition to those biometrics, users can even add fingerprint recognition to ensure the security of login in multiple ways, but the premise is to install such equipment first.

However, for now, these biometrics, plus Cain's auxiliary judgment, have a very high safety factor.

There is also this language system, which can automatically adjust according to the user's commonly used language.

For example, when people like Lee Kun-hee log in for the first time, the default language will be Korean, and users can also switch to any language in the world within the system.

Compared with the Blood Source System, all functions of the Eternal Life System can be copied, including the task system, instant chat function, etc.

These are not a problem for Chen Luo. The most critical thing is actually the payment system.

One of the sources of Blood of Blood's strength is that in their Blood Source System, as long as a certain fee is paid, the currencies of various countries can be exchanged at will.

The fundamental reason why Blood of Blood has such strength is that they have mastered a key institution, SWIFT, which is translated as the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.

SWIFT itself is a non-profit international cooperation organization between international banks, providing fast services for international financial business.

With the increase of global economic activities and information exchanges, some central nodes for information convergence have begun to appear.

Such a trend has aggravated the imbalance of power in international relations.

From the perspective of the financial system, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication is such a central node.

Anyone who has done cross-border transfers will know that every bank has a SWIFT identification code, and this code is required for cross-border transactions.

This identification code is naturally provided by SWIFT, which is essentially a messaging system between banks.

For example, when transferring money from ICBC in China to Citibank in the United States, the two banks always have to greet each other, and someone has to record the transaction, confirm that the transaction amount is correct, and confirm that the identity of the trader is also true, and the SWIFT identification code plays this role.

In 1973, some banks in Europe and the United States joined together to create the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, which was quickly widely accepted. In less than five years, 22 countries were already using it.

As the process of globalization accelerated, the Blood of Blood Seven Giants gradually realized the importance of SWIFT and decisively took control of this organization.

As of 2009, more than 150 countries and more than 10,000 financial institutions around the world are using this system.

By 2019, this number had increased to more than 200 countries using it, almost all countries in the world had access to this system, and there were more than 20,000 financial institutions.

What's even more terrifying is that SWIFT also sells software and services to major financial institutions around the world.

With Bloodblood's consistent style, the data of these financial institutions will probably be synchronized to Bloodblood's servers at the same time as they are generated, and security cannot be guaranteed at all.

Billions of transaction information are processed on the SWIFT system every year, and it is showing an exponential growth trend every year.

The current SWIFT is equivalent to the information aggregation center of global finance. Its original intention was to facilitate cross-border transactions, but it gave Bloodblood and some countries a very powerful financial weapon.

A financial information center like SWIFT is actually equivalent to a monitoring center. As long as you control this organization, you can know what transactions are being made between countries and institutions.

Sometimes, knowing the ongoing transactions between these countries and institutions can make judgments to make profits. SWIFT is equivalent to a spy tool in disguise.

After 9/11, the United States used SWIFT to track transactions between terrorists and eventually determine which institutions were in collusion.

As for the second point, which is even more powerful, when the United States sanctioned Iran, it once pressured SWIFT to stop providing financial information services to Iran.

This caused a catastrophic blow to the country's financial system. From ordinary commercial banks to central banks, they were all isolated from the entire international payment system.

To put it simply, whoever can control and use a central node like SWIFT can control cross-border transactions in any country in the world.

This is also one of the sources of Blood of Blood's strength, and why they can complete cross-border transfers so quickly, and can launder money openly without worrying about being tracked.

If Chen Luo wants to deal with Blood of Blood, this organization must be in his hands.

It’s just that this organization is not controlled by any one giant, but by the seven giants.

Because the seven giants all know the importance of SWIFT, no one can trust other giants to control it, so in the end, everyone just controls it together.

If Chen Luo wants to control SWIFT now, it is equivalent to going to war with Blood of Blood, which is too reluctant for now.

In addition to the seven giants, the European Union and the United States also have a strong influence in it, and these cannot be solved overnight.

Fortunately, Chen Luo only needs to collect money now, and does not need to pay money to the members of Eternal Life. A Swiss bank card is enough.

With Cain, the transaction records can be directly erased from the SWIFT system without fear of being tracked by SWIFT.

After Chen Luo continued to test the entire immortality system and confirmed that there were no problems, he immediately instructed Cain, "Open an account in Hong Kong in the name of LX Investment Company and purchase $500 million of Penguin shares. Open an account in the New York Stock Exchange and purchase $1 billion of Apple shares."

"Okay, Master."

SWIFT is a real organization and its role is indeed so great, but Blood of Blood is nonsense.
