Tong Zhengrong said respectfully: "But Prime Minister Zheng is our chief after all."
"Okay, don't talk about this. Sit down first..." Premier Zheng waved his hand and ordered: "Also, I don't like others to address their positions. Just call me Lao Zheng or Mr. Zheng."
"Yes." Tong Zhengrong sat down, but he still straightened his back, always with the heroic demeanor that a soldier should have.
"You came to see me so late. Is there anything urgent?"
"There is something very important. I was just suspicious at first. But I just got clear evidence..." Tong Zhengrong was a soldier after all. He spoke straightforwardly: "You should know Delta."
"Yes." Mr. Zheng nodded slightly: "Legend has it that it was a financial tool designed by Country M to deal with the former Soviet Union. It made huge wealth during the disintegration of the Soviet Union and turned into an unrivaled capital oligarch. Its original function was just To bring down the Soviet Union. But in this case, it has changed its original intention. It has been active in all corners of the world for many years and continues to accumulate wealth. But these are just suspicions. Even Russia is not sure whether there was such an organization back then. Behind the scenes, it played a role in promoting the disintegration of the Soviet Union."
"It has now been verified. This organization does exist."
"Where's the evidence?"
"Mr. Zheng should know that South Sudan has become independent."
"Yes. In the general election a few days ago, the vast majority of voters supported independence. The Sudanese government expressed respect for the election results. The United Nations also announced that it is ready to admit South Sudan as the 193rd member state."
"During South Sudan's independence process, I captured something strange."
"Oh." Mr. Zheng pushed up his glasses and asked with interest, "What is it."
"We all know that South Sudan is rich in oil, but does not have the technology to extract it. Sudan has the technology to extract it, but it does not have oil." After a pause, Tong Zhengrong continued: "If South Sudan wants to get rid of poverty, it must rely on oil. That is to say. It cannot get rid of its dependence on Sudan. This crux has become one of the important factors in the protracted resolution of the South Sudan issue."
"Then what."
"Not long ago, several oil companies expressed their willingness to invest in South Sudan. This means that they can create enough tax revenue and job opportunities so that South Sudan no longer needs to rely on Sudan. We all know that Western companies are They are profit-seeking. They are willing to take certain risks for this. But if they are not confident enough, they will not rush to invest in a volatile area. For example, Iraq is protected by tens of thousands of US troops and mercenaries. Only M-country companies will test the waters. But South Sudan is different. There are no Western soldiers there, and the West’s political influence in the region is also very weak. So I suspected that these oil companies may have received some kind of promise secretly, so I conducted some investigations... "
"The results of it."
"The largest shareholder of these oil companies is an investment bank called Beta Group." Recalling the clues he found, Tong Zhengrong's brows knitted together because the relationship was too complicated: "Speaking of investment Banks. The first thing that comes to mind is Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other five major investment banks. I checked and found that Beta Group is quite strong. But whenever its power develops to a certain stage, there will be splits or huge losses. As a result, the strength of the group Never made it into the top five.”
"It seems that it's not that they don't want to surpass, but that they always keep a low profile." He smiled slightly. Mr. Zheng said thoughtfully: "Everyone focuses on the five major investment banks and pays attention to their every move. The Beta Group was ignored.”
"Zheng Lao Gaoming. That's indeed the case." After swallowing, Tong Zhengrong added: "I followed this clue and found out that Beta Group has a very close relationship with another investment bank in Ypsilon. This Yipsilon investment bank The situation of Psilon is similar to that of Beta Group. Both of them not only have a history of making huge investments in the former Soviet Union. They also have the problem of transferring interests to Kersey Defense Group. In other words, whenever the power of these two investment banks expands to a certain level, If the level is high, then part of the assets will inevitably be transferred to the name of Kexi Defense Group. This transfer of interests has attracted the attention of the officials of the country where it is located due to suspected corruption. However, in the end, nothing happened."
"What's going on with this Kexi Defense Group?"
"This group has many companies that are engaged in various types of weapons manufacturing and security work. After the military transformation of M country, it directly and indirectly controlled several military companies. And these military companies control tens of thousands of mercenaries. The The scale of the group was originally small and its profits were not very high. It relied entirely on the blood transfusion of these two major investment banks. Today, it ranks very high in the world."
"anything else."
"The mercenaries who provide security for those oil companies are all affiliated with military companies under the Kexi Defense Group."
The relationship here sounds a bit convoluted. But what kind of person is Mr. Zheng? He immediately discovered the key: "Let's put it this way, these companies should be owned by the same boss."
"That's right." Tong Zhengrong nodded: "There are further clues. They are the names of these companies."
"Name." Mr. Zheng shook his head strangely: "What's wrong."
"I had an intuition at the time that the connection between these companies must exist in their names. So I wrote the names on a piece of paper and studied them every day..." He smiled helplessly. Tong Zhengrong continued: "But I never came up with anything from my research, so I threw this piece of paper aside. Yesterday, my granddaughter came to dinner. When she saw this piece of paper, she asked me why I wrote the names of these mathematical symbols..."
"I think about it..." Mr. Zheng suddenly realized: "These names all have the meaning of mathematical symbols. For example, Kexi. It seems to refer to random variables."
"That's right."
"Your granddaughter is in high school."
"I'm a freshman in high school." Tong Zhengrong smiled, with pride on his face.
"We are all old. We are not as good as a high school student." Mr. Zheng also smiled: "It's time to hand over this world to young people."
"Let's talk about this..." Although she likes to hear others praise her granddaughter, Tong Zhengrong has a more important topic at the moment: "We all know that delta is a mathematical symbol. So many coincidences come together. It is no coincidence. We can only believe that Delta does exist and is secretly controlling these companies."
"Speaking of which, Ling Hao, who controls Delta, is indeed a real person."
"Yes. Ling Hao comes from a reclusive family. He passed his career to his son Ling Yang. As for this Ling Yang, he was very famous back then. He was known as the first of the four young masters in the capital."
"I know this too. But I'm confused. How can I prove that the trustee of Delta must be the Ling family?"
"The chief should know that the Ling family has a company, Chenyang International, that has very close dealings with the company groups mentioned above. The transfer of interests between these companies is basically completed through Chenyang International. Therefore, we It can be believed that Chenyang International launders money for Delta."
The so-called "interest transfer" here is that one company transfers huge assets to another company without any reason. This is how Kexi Defense Group was fattened.
Some people may think that it is not a big deal if one is willing to give and the other is willing to receive. In fact, in most cases, this kind of transfer is not legal and will attract the attention of other parties. Therefore, this kind of transfer still needs to be laundered. Completed. The role played by Chenyang International is very critical.
As for the purpose of the allocation, it is obvious. First, it is to prevent one of the companies from becoming too powerful and high-profile. Second, the Ling family wants to support its own military power.
Mr. Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
"So, the Ling family has a lot of power and can do a lot of things. But..." After a pause, Tong Zhengrong said in confusion: "About ten years ago, Ling Yang suddenly disappeared. He has never shown up again. From that moment on, Delta was on the defensive and did not take any proactive actions."
"Delta suddenly made some moves in South Sudan. Could it be because Ling Yang came out of the mountain?"
"No one still knows where Ling Yang is. I don't know why Delta did this. But I do know one thing..."
"What."
"Ling Yang's only son is in Minghai."
"What identity."
"Poverty-stricken special enrollment. Study in Minghai No. 1 Middle School."
"Oh. Why does Ling Yang keep his child so low-key?"
"I think, firstly, I want to cultivate him well, and secondly, there are other reasons that we don't know."
"What's this child's name?"
"Ling Cang."
"Ling Cang." Mr. Zheng chuckled: "You look a bit dull, don't you? He always wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses."
Tong Zhengrong asked strangely: "Mr. Zheng has seen him."
"He got into some trouble some time ago. Several people begged me for mercy, hoping to be a little more lenient. I couldn't do much at the time. I could only say hello to the people below. Take good care of this child. Don't accept the anger in there. A few days later, I inquired and found that he had been released."
"I ordered the release."
"oh."
"Do you know who is asking for mercy from you?"
"Aristocratic family, and..." After a pause, Mr. Zheng said word by word: "The Long Family of Southeast Asia."
"That's right..." Tong Zhengrong said meaningfully: "Long Jianyue, the head of the Long family, had a relationship with Ling Yang back then."
"Well, it looks like all the clues are correct." Mr. Zheng took a deep breath. Then he said slowly: "This Ling Cang may be the trustee of Delta in the future. He is also the person we must fight against. ."
"Yes."
"Do you have any idea."
"I have absorbed Ling Cang into Brigade 03."
"anything else."
"Delta has such huge resources. I hope to find opportunities to do Lingcang's work and use Delta's resources to contribute more to the country."
