Chapter 669 (1/2)

The Boston consortium won't last long.

It's not because they don't have money. On the contrary, they are very rich, with wealth that ordinary people can't imagine. Since the 1950s, we have used the scientific research achievements of MIT to develop emerging technology industries, and completed the transformation from light and textile industry to electronics, optics, radar, missiles, and even aerospace. If we calculate the actual control of wealth, I'm afraid ten Bill Gates will not be able to match them. After all, Bill Gates is only one person, and these consortia are even more than one family.

For such a huge economic behemoth, banks are not their hematopoietic stem cells, but their more important heart! If the heart goes wrong, the huge financial and industrial systems will face the risk of tight capital chain.

So as soon as the run began, the Boston consortium's attack on the futureman group suddenly stagnated, and there was no next move for half a day. The antitrust investigation does hurt futurists, but it's not as painful as the punch they got at first national bank in Boston.

Both sides are like boxers standing on the ring. Everyone knows that they can't beat each other down with one punch. They can only weigh their own gains and losses and are hesitant to give the next punch.

The estate on the outskirts of Boston.

At the moment, the people standing in this room hold one tenth of the power of the whole country. The five family owners of Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, Kennedy and lodge gathered here, including big capitalists, Federal Reserve shareholders, Democratic congressmen

They came together for the common good.

”What a fool! I'll bet that they're responsible for the leakage of depositors' information! ” John Lawrence hit the table with a blow. Gnashing teeth said.

”I think so, but we don't have any evidence. The FBI doesn't find any clues.” Bernie Adams said helplessly.

”How did they do it? Websense is responsible for the information security of the first National Bank of Boston if their hackers can hack into our servers. Then there's no reason why they can't go into the Pentagon. ” Mr. Lowell frowned, too.

Since Raytheon bought Websense for $1.9 billion, the Boston consortium's industry has been protected by the cyber security company. Because the business involves the military industry, the consortium's servers are attacked a lot every year, but no attack has ever been successful.

”The Pentagon will remind me.” Said Adams.

”Enough, my friends, it's not the Pentagon that we should worry about right now. It's the future people group! ” Lawrence said with a headache.

”Saudi Arabia's freshwater project cannot be compromised.” Joseph Kennedy replied.

”But we need money for our Texas clothing factory, Raytheon's radar program at the military base in Guam, and orders from bell helicopters and the Pentagon.” Lowell looked at Joseph and said, ”although I know the Saudi freshwater project is very important to you, now it seems that If we keep fighting with futureman, even if we win in the end. We can't afford the loss of the consortium. ”

”I agree with Mr. Lowell.” Bernie Adams nodded.

”I can't accept it.” John Lawrence shook his head. ”If we compromise with them, where do we put our faces?”

”Come on, Mr. Lawrence, we're businessmen, and we're just winners and losers in business. If you really can't swallow it, we can clean them up later. But now. We'd better slow down. At least in terms of network security, we have to upgrade! ” Said rocky, who had never spoken.

”Then, as usual, on a show of hands. For the sake of our long-term covenant, no matter what choice we make in the end, even if it is the choice I don't want to accept, I will contribute to the alliance. So Those in favor of reconciliation, please raise your hands. ” With that, Lowell took a look at the four present. Hands up.

The result of the vote was three to two.
