1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 63 Industrial Spy

“Mr. Bond, these are recent reports of suspicious people’s movements.” In the internal affairs department of the Blackwater Company, an employee is handing a document to a bald man named Bond.

The main body of the Blackwater Company is composed of three departments, namely the internal affairs department responsible for intelligence and the security of itself and its allies, the operation department which accepts entrusted tasks to carry out external tasks, and the command department codenamed “Castle” which coordinates and commands them.

Bond was originally a deputy chief of the Cleveland Police Department. He was involved in an unlucky and inexplicable exchange of fire between the two groups. As a result, two of his subordinates died on the spot, and his luck was a little better, but his legs Got a shot. Later, after treatment, the leg was saved, but the right leg was shorter than the left leg by a few centimeters. What’s even more hateful is that the police station didn’t dare to track down the deputy chief who injured them, and killed the guys who had two of his partners, because they were instructed not to make trouble.

The police department’s investigation of criminal behavior can be called “incident”? Bond was naturally very unconvinced, so he started investigating privately, and just as soon as he checked his eyebrows, he was discovered by the police. So Chief Sorge found Bond and had a long conversation with him. Then, Bond voluntarily left the police station-the reason is simple. Sorge told him that the exchange of fire involved the personal grievances of the two senators. , Such a big man cannot be touched by the police station. If he continues to track him down, he and his family will be in great danger.

After Bond left the police station, he became a private detective. Because of his outstanding ability and a good relationship with the police station, his life was not bad, but somehow, because of investigating a murder case, he was threatened by a group of bounty hunters who received financial support from the South. As a result, Bond’s The private detective had to be closed. Bond, who was on the verge of unemployment, went to Blackwater and became a senior director in the Ministry of Internal Affairs with his own experience and ability.

Scrooge from later generations was very vigilant about industrial espionage activities. Although the frequency and intensity of industrial espionage activities are still not comparable to that of later generations, he tried to build a high-tech monopoly empire with high-tech As the foundation of the monopoly, Scrooge’s defense against industrial espionage far exceeds that of people in the same period.

Therefore, in Scrooge’s company, those who often have access to technology secrets are strictly guarded. Whenever, whoever contacts them will be recorded secretly.

Bond opened the case file, and the four people who often try to reach out to outsiders who are most likely to have access to the core technology secrets are all new to the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company.

“The earliest one entered the company after the 1857 precision shooting version of MacDonald began to be sold on the market.” Bond looked at the file, and remembered a top-secret document he had seen before. It was Scrooge Mack. Mr. Downer showed them the company’s most important targets for protection. One of them was the secret of the McDonald’s 1857 precision firing rifle.

Bond continued to look down. After identifying the suspicious individuals, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would conduct a secret investigation of these people to learn about their origins and who they usually contact. All records will be collected and compared one by one. Then, some interesting things appeared.

First of all, these four people are all from Delaware, and they all had a trip with a cyclops named Steve. So Blackwater immediately sent relevant investigators to Delaware to investigate almost all the larger gunpowder manufacturers in Delaware. The results of the investigation were obtained. In Wilmington, someone recognized that this one-eyed dragon was called Gordon, and was the thug leader of the DuPont family, the largest gunpowder merchant in the area.

“Huh! DuPont?” Bond had heard of this company, which is an already well-known gunpowder factory, and the gunpowder produced is of good quality. However, this company is only a relatively influential company in Delaware. Compared with McDonald’s Infantry Arms Company, its scale and influence are much smaller. Compared with the MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company, which has just been established and has attracted the attention of the whole world, it is not an order of magnitude.

“This company is very courageous. Compared to other companies, their methods are not bad. However, compared with a well-organized professional opponent like Heishui, they are still too immature. They are so bold in their hands. Reach out to McDonald’s infantry weapons and McDonald’s chemistry and medicine. Don’t you worry about being retaliated against?” Bond thought. However, this is not within Bond’s jurisdiction. All he needs to do is to synthesize this information and then make an analysis to assist the above judgment.

“Mr. Rockefeller, here is a document that needs to be processed by you. It was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.” As a shareholder of McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company, Scrooge left the United States during the period when Scrooge had not arrived in Europe. Here, many of the company’s various daily operations have been temporarily transferred to Rockefeller’s hands.

Although Heishui and McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company are two companies, at the decision-making level, it and McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company completely share the same decision-making level. Therefore, when Scrooge left United States, he temporarily handed over part of the management of Blackwater to Rockefeller’s agent.

“Have you shown this to Mr. Carol McDonald?” Rockefeller asked.

Before leaving United States, Scrooge recalled Carol and asked him to temporarily replace himself in the situation of the three companies under his control. Although Carroll is far inferior to Rockefeller in ability. But at this time, reliability is the most important thing. In addition, Carol has a stable nature. He acts as an agent for a short period of time.

Rockefeller also understood this, so he didn’t make his own decisions on various matters, but discussed everything with Carol. Although in most cases, the most common result is that Carol adopted Rockefeller’s proposal after serious consideration.

“Mr. Carroll is watching. He said that if you have finished reading and think what action should be taken, please go over and discuss it with him.”

“Okay, I see.” Rockefeller replied.

“Carol, the idea of ​​someone hitting the company’s technology secrets is normal. The key is how we respond. Our company has perhaps the best confidentiality system and system in the world, and it is not easy for others to really get anything useful. However, if we let them do this without fighting back, then those guys will feel that sending someone to steal our technology secrets is cheap, and once we succeed, the benefits will be high. At that time, even if we No matter how efficient the security department in China is, it can only be difficult to prevent. Therefore, we must take action. Otherwise, the consequences will be very troublesome. The company retaliated.

“Scrooge hopes he will not do too much during his time in Europe.” Carroll said.

“Damn it!” Rockefeller thought, “If Scrooge is here, there is no need to encourage him to do something about DuPont. He would have screamed and rushed to kill his opponent.”

“Carol, Scrooge said before that when a large group of wealthy wolves surround you, take the initiative and kill the fiercest one of the jumps first is a more effective defense method. Only in this way can the opponent see you. The power of this will not lead to any bad results due to misjudgment. Moreover, an upright person should not deliberately act weak to induce others to commit crimes. Isn’t it?” Rockefeller continued to persuade Carol patiently.

“I understand the truth, but, John, don’t you think your proposed method is a bit too drastic? Is it a bit too defensive? And we don’t have any real reliable evidence, all is speculation.”

“Evidence? You actually said evidence? My God!” Rockefeller couldn’t help it anymore. He stood up, looked down at Carol, and laughed loudly in a sharp voice, “My God, Carol. , Do you think we still need a court? First collect evidence for three years, then organize a neutral jury in the first half of the year, and then spend another six years to fight the lawsuit? No, at this time, we don’t need it. Evidence, you only need to doubt, that’s enough! Well, just show you this document again to see how DuPont dealt with its competitors! He just used a lot of gunpowder to send people to the house. God! This is a poisonous snake! Did we see a poisonous snake sneak into our yard, instead of picking up the guy to kill it right away, but saying, “We have no evidence that it came into the yard to kill us or was it? Our livestock’?”

“Then we can only kill those who enter our yard? This is a warning to DuPont.” Carol is still making the final resistance.

“If they are not DuPont, I also agree with you.” Rockefeller slowed down and said, “However, their previous performance was too dangerous.’If you kill a snake, you will suffer.’ Or what we do to DuPont Leave him alone, or give him a ruthless one, and use their bodies to warn those who dare to beat us!”

Carol lowered his head for a moment and said, “John, are you sure that after we do this, the result is controllable?”

“Of course! After receiving this strike with DuPont’s strength, even if it is not completely finished, it is impossible to have the power to counterattack!” Rockefeller said firmly.

“Okay, just follow your opinion.” Carol finally respected Rockefeller’s opinion, as usual. When Rockefeller went out, Carol murmured to himself: “No wonder Scrooge said that John Rockefeller is the one who needs to be on guard most. He is such a terrible guy.”
