Chapter 432 (1/2)

Since Edgar Hoover, the first director of the Federal Bureau of investigation of the United States, gained 40 years of tremendous power by relying on the FBI's pervasive monitoring network to monitor all kinds of politicians, celebrities and even the general public, the word ”monitoring” has always been a very sensitive but absolutely unavoidable topic in American society.

Many major political events in the modern history of the United States, such as Watergate, zipper door, prism door, are closely related to monitoring.

Monitoring other people and obtaining their privacy and control actually means a kind of power.

The reason why no one in Edgar Hoover's 40 year career as director of the FBI dares to shake his position is that no one is sure that if he comes out, there will be a scandal related to him the next day.

George Bush, the current president of the United States, has chosen the post of director of the CIA in his political career, which is definitely a very old move.

As for Simon.

From the eavesdropping incident of Plaza Hotel a few years ago, we can see that the outside world has a strong curiosity about this cometary super rich.

Because there are more than ten people's life experiences in his mind, Simon's strict defense of his personal privacy in recent years is absolutely not groundless.

It's not just politicians, but the federal government also monitors the country's super rich.

The truth is very simple.

In a capital society, money means power. The rich hold not only money, but also media networks that can influence the direction of news and public opinion.

If we can handle Simon's privacy, or it is not enough for the outside world, then, in many cases, politicians can force him to act according to his will.

There are precedents for this kind of thing.

The most classic is probably Howard Hughes, who is also quite legendary in Hollywood.

The super rich man, who died more than ten years ago, has been under the secret surveillance of the federal government ever since he made his fortune.

According to the information that has been made public over the years, the FBI's surveillance data on Howard Hughes, including recordings, photos, personal letters and so on, occupied a whole room.

In the early 1950s, in order to warn Hughes to cooperate with himself in a conference case, Edgar Hoover sent all the monitoring data of Hughes for the whole three years to the other party, and attached his own ”respect from Hoover” card.

The materials include the eavesdropping recordings of Howard Hughes' three-year residence in the East and west coasts of the United States, and the details of his daily schedule. Every Hollywood actress Hughes dated during the three-year period has also been listed in detail.

That's how Edgar Hoover told Hughes that we know what you're doing. Be careful!

Howard Hughes never left his private plane for a moment in his later years, and the last person died alone. Although the public reason is that the super rich is extremely ill with obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is difficult to say whether he completely lost his sense of security because of government monitoring.

However, despite long-term secret monitoring by the government, Howard Hughes himself is doing similar things.

This can be seen if someone has seen the aviator.

Howard Hughes regards his countless lovers as personal property, and sends countless men to monitor the Canaries' words and deeds.

What is more embarrassing is that because of this long-term monitoring, more than once Hughes' lonely Canary fell in love with the monitors he sent.

Simon's miraculous rise has accumulated tens of billions of dollars in just a few years, and the number continues to increase rapidly.

Therefore, it is normal to arouse some people's strong curiosity and other thoughts about him.

It was Martin Dunham, the head of an investigation team, who found Simon being monitored.

This is a candidate the johnstons have come to look for from Australia.

A real professional agent.

This proves once again the inside story of the Johnston family. Simon now has tens of billions of dollars, but he can't find the people he needs from the federal authorities.

Even if he found it, he didn't dare to use it at all.

After Simon had a similar idea, the old man personally helped him and sent 11 people over. They were divided into two groups, five in each group and six in each group.

Of course, the couple paid a lot for it.

Almost all the families of 11 people are supported by the westero system.

In fact, this is exactly what Simon likes.

The possibility of betrayal is less for those who are concerned. Therefore, Simon's original proposal is to find someone who has a home and a room.

As long as these people are really ”value for money,” Simmons doesn't mind spending millions every year.

You know, agents seem very mysterious to ordinary people, but they are only a profession after all. These people usually get tens of thousands of dollars' annual salary equivalent to some ordinary white-collar workers, and at most enjoy the special benefits of the government.Simon's basic salary of $200000 is absolutely unmatched by government agents.

What's more, all of these people's household expenses, including health care and education, are covered by westero.

One year after passing the test, the whole family can choose to immigrate to the United States. The westero system pays a one-time settlement fee of US $1 million. When the children come of age, they can directly choose the designated first-class universities in Australia or the United States. The quota is handled by westero company.

In addition, after 20 years of work, each of these people will receive a one-time reward of $5 million and a subsequent pension.

That's right.

People who want to enter the workforce must sign a 20-year contract.

Simon believes in the theory that people are not the same as they used to be. Of course, the vases around him need to be changed all the time. For these special service teams around him, it's obvious that the longer they work, the more reliable they will be. After human beings are used to a certain life, even they are not easy to change.

Therefore, when the time is long enough, something called ”loyalty” is usually formed.

Martin dinam led his five member team to complete the investigation of the hacker attack on igritte portal some time ago. After reporting his investigation results to Janet, he accidentally noticed that someone was following him after leaving domay point manor.

Simon and Janet don't want their own investigation team to be noticed, and Martin dinam has been told the same thing.
