Saint Jose actually came to the United States with a hidden purpose, which was to see if he could find some centrifuge technology to purify uranium ore. Argentina has no shortage of uranium ore, and Bolivia also has a lot of it, but purification is troublesome, and it involves relatively advanced processes. science and technology.

Argentina has a National Atomic Energy Commission at the official level. The purpose is obvious, but Bilon did not understand this and was tricked by the Germans.

For backward countries, purification is the first obstacle in the development of nuclear weapons, and Argentina is no exception. If Argentina wants to become a first-class country, no, a second-class country, it also needs at least some nuclear weapons, and it also needs some nuclear weapons, such as launching satellites. , and can also share ballistic missile technology. At this time, the United States and Canada both have advanced aerospace technology, which is a benefit for winning World War II.

And whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, they have not yet used gas centrifugation to make enriched uranium. They use the gas diffusion method. This is a good thing for him. At least some experts are recruited, and they will not be so easily stuck. It just needs Low-key and low-key.

Nuclear weapons are like underwear to an ambitious country. You can't tell others that you have them, but you must have them. France and the United Kingdom do not have nuclear weapons yet. Among the so-called five gangsters, only the United States and the Soviet Union are worthy of their name. That’s all

If Argentina wants to avoid being harvested, it must have its own nuclear weapons, and it may even have to help Brazil develop it so that Brazil can have it, so that Argentina will not have too much international pressure, just like Pakistan and India in later generations. Of course, this It also depends on how far Argentina's strength can expand.

Brazil is actually secretly developing nuclear weapons, but later gave up due to pressure from the United States. Without nuclear weapons, the Brazilian threat theory would be untenable.

Most of the raw materials used by Argentina to develop nuclear weapons in later generations came from the United States and Canada. South Africa, the only country that successfully developed nuclear weapons and then gave up nuclear weapons, basically relied on the United States to import purified raw material uranium. By developing civilian nuclear power plants, South Africa's technology is actually very powerful. It also developed its own ballistic missile technology. Of course, before "Saint" Mandela came to power, South Africa abandoned its martial arts skills and went from second-rate to third-rate.

San Jose integrated Maya Chemical some time ago and also developed and expanded Thunder Mining. In addition to integrating resources,

There are also considerations and ideas in developing nuclear weapons. Argentina is unable to obtain nuclear weapons development technology at the national level, but private power may be feasible, as is the Manhattan Project in the United States.

Uranium ore smelting refers to the process of extracting, enriching and purifying natural uranium products from uranium ore. Uranium ore smelting is the basis of the nuclear industry.

The nuclear industry is a high-precision industry that involves many types of science. It is not something that Saint Jose can grasp. He is also betting on an experiment.

Enriched uranium refers to uranium metal whose uranium-235 content exceeds the natural content after isotope separation. The opposite is depleted uranium, of which the abundance is greater than 90%, which is called weapons-grade highly enriched uranium, which is mainly used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Nowadays, the gas diffusion method is mainly used in the world to make enriched uranium, while centrifuges are used to make enriched uranium. That is, the gas centrifugation method is more advanced and cost-effective. If we can recruit some mechanical, physical and chemical experts, then maybe we can take the next step. No. Got stuck in the neck.

Now Saint Hesse plans to use its own method for research and development and reserve, and will not cooperate with Argentine official agencies. This will also make it more concealed. Moreover, if Bilong really develops nuclear weapons, Saint Hesse will probably not be able to succeed in his life.

For example, to jointly produce drum washing machines, I need to recruit a few physics experts to check it out. Companies like Westinghouse Electric also need to make inquiries and cannot act rashly. Relatively speaking, Canada is a more suitable partner.

St. Hesse's mind was filled with thoughts, and then he returned to reality. To develop nuclear weapons, he could only make small moves. This required strong strength. He just had to reserve some talents in advance and develop various equipment.



On the second day, Sequoia Investment,

Sequoia Investments is not the core area of ​​Wall Street, but a building on the periphery.

Under Thain's arrangement, several people came here by car. This building is 30 stories high, which is very impressive. Sequoia Investment is located on the 20th and 21st floors. Both the area and decoration are very good.

It's not very far from the hotel. We also passed some famous neighborhoods on the way. The air quality is average, but you have to stop when you get there. There are a lot of people. Most of the companies on the periphery of Wall Street are not strong companies. The real consortium is in the core of Wall Street. ,

Saint Jose changed his clothes and followed Thain. Today he was inspecting his American property, which is the only one he owns at the moment.

To be honest, there are not many people investing in Sequoia, only more than 190 people, more than 10 of them are Argentinians, and of course they are members of the Falcon Bureau who entered the country under various names.

For Thain, managing Sequoia Investment is not complicated. You only need to buy and buy according to the boss's plan. However, in the eyes of many Americans, this is almost a miracle. Sequoia Investment basically makes long-term investments and rarely invests in the long term. Just sell the stock and share the dividends as the U.S. stock market rises for a long time.

But the stocks bought by Sequoia Investment have basically risen, which is very surprising. Moreover, Sequoia Investment basically buys the stocks of large companies. The market size is large enough, but few investment companies are as powerful as Sequoia Investment. The rate of return is quite remarkable.

Moreover, Sequoia Investment actually recruits very few talented investment and stock managers. Most of them can even be said to be quite mediocre, and half of them are Latino. Even if other companies poach employees, most of them cannot reveal much information, and even Falcon People from the bureau were poached and joined Goldman Sachs, but most of them were fired within a few months because they were really not good at it.

What San Jose adopts is actually a long-term value investment method similar to Buffett's. As long as the company name is familiar, buying it directly will always be successful.

"Sain, please find someone to register 3 futures companies and 2 investment companies, and transfer the money to the investment accounts of these companies."

Sequoia Investment is already a company where people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. It will definitely not work if they use this brand again. Saint Jose personally took action this time, just to make a fortune in a short time and run away, investing in a few small companies with potential, and the latest The most important thing is to invest in the futures market, because from the second half of 2052 to the first half of 2053, there was a big movement in the US futures market, and he planned to make a big profit from it.

This is a gamble. For the always cautious San Jose, it is a big gamble. If it succeeds, it will make hundreds of millions of dollars. Argentina will not have to worry about its development in ten years. If it loses, it will lose all its investment in Sequoia and liquidate its position. .

For him, it was just a loss of more than 10 million U.S. dollars. The loss was yes, but not very big. The grass does not grow until the horse grows taller. If he wants to develop, he can only make a big bet.

He was going to pull up a big lever, which required remote control operation, and he couldn't guarantee safety.

"Okay, boss."

Thain was not surprised. The boss had amazing insight and was good at cutting into one point, which made him calm and a little excited.

"Boss, isn't this name a bit..."

Thain took the paper handed over by Saint Jose and felt a little strange. The boss seemed to have trouble with colors.

Red, blue, black and green, it always feels a bit inappropriate.

"I think it's pretty good, Blue Origin Futures, Green Agriculture Futures, Blackstone Investment Company..."

Most of the current futures in the United States are agricultural futures, and there is no future oil futures.

"Okay, boss, I will ask someone to arrange it right away. These shell companies will also set up some Chicago, right?"

"Well, yes, but we control it remotely. We won't make long-term investments this time. We can just follow the hype. These companies need multiple protections to ensure a certain level of concealment. Each account will have 2 million US dollars invested. There are 6 companies in total. 12 million US dollars, with more than 5 times leverage in the later stage.”

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, sell some of the stocks of these companies and sell them on different days. I want to use them for other purposes."

Now the growth rate of these companies will not rise too much in the short term. It is time to cash out and diversify investment in some companies with potential stocks in the future.

"Split Sequoia into two parts, reduce its size at the same time, and find a bank to cooperate with, preferably one with branches in Latin America."

There are not many banks with branches in Latin America now. Saint Jose assigned tasks to Thain. There are also partners within American capital that can be cooperated with. These consortiums are not mentioned by me. There are many other consortiums besides the eight major consortiums. Medium-sized consortiums can find various cooperation opportunities, and not all capital is an enemy.

"Okay, boss, let me make the arrangements first. By the way, boss, I have found an American secretary for you, who will be responsible for your life in the United States and the basic situation of Sequoia. Do you think you can ask her to come over later?"

For these capital consortiums, as long as there is enough profit margin, they can cooperate with the devil. Saint Jose also needs to find several backers for Sequoia. A development model like Bilon's that defies the sky, the earth, and the air. Sooner or later, this is not alarmist. If Brazil is a positive example, then Argentina is a counterexample.

"Okay, I just need an American guide. I don't have a deep enough understanding of the United States."

St. Jose took a look at the scenery outside the glass window of Sequoia Investment Company. It is located on the outskirts of Wall Street and is relatively low-key.

After a while,

"Please come in."

Saint Jose heard the knock on the door and spoke.

"Hello, Mr. Tom, I'm Anna, Anna Bella."

St. Jose used a "real passport" issued by Argentina. He did not use his real name. His name on the passport was Tom Cruise. All his experiences were forged. For the current St. Jose Say, it's a piece of cake.

For the sake of safety in San Jose, people who went out to the Falcon Bureau in the past basically changed their personal information. As long as you have enough money in Argentina, in the era before the Internet, it is much easier to get a real passport than a fake passport.

Moreover, Saint Jose's appearance has also undergone some simple disguises. His current identity is a doctoral candidate in law at the University of La Plata. He is 26 years old. This is also approved by Professor Pukins. The established personality is a bit frivolous. kind of, but very rich.

And none of them were sent out at once. The trip was rushed, and all the people in Delta were going back to Argentina. Except for the Falcon Bureau and San Jose, everyone else's information was forged, no, "real", for For Saint Jose, there is no psychological burden.

"Hello, I am Tom Cruise. Uncle Thane is letting me get familiar with the business this time. Anna, you are beautiful, as beautiful as the stars in the sky."

Saint Jose gently shook Anna's hand, and then pretended to touch her little hand casually. It was very smooth and tender.

This time St. Hesse also wants to bring Thain back to the country, because his identity is not easy to check. After all, Thain used real information at the time, and it is estimated that it has been investigated to the bottom, but it is precisely because of Thain. The person's identity information is "innocent" enough, but many companies feel that Sequoia is not simple. They all believe that Thain is just a puppet on the table.

San Jose plans to send the more capable Nick Jr. to take over Sequoia next year. In the future, Sequoia is likely to be split into several companies. "Sean" will also "accidentally die" and then change his appearance and sneak back. Back home, he took charge of his other businesses, such as bonds in La Plata and investments in the Putrajaya Stock Exchange.

This was his original plan, but he didn't expect that Sequoia would be targeted so early. It can only be said that he was not very lucky. Of course, Thain was not good enough to cope with the next challenge. Returning to China was also a good plan. , let him use his remaining heat now.

Anna is pretty good-looking. She just graduated from Queens College, City University of New York, half a year ago. She is of Irish descent. She cherishes the opportunity to join Sequoia Investment Company, which is relatively famous on Wall Street.

She wore a well-tailored black uniform, had a round head, and light gray eyes. She looked somewhat capable.

The City University of New York and New York University are different in that the former belongs to the public university system, while the latter is a well-known private university.

"Mr. Tom, please respect yourself."

Although Saint Jose looked suave and handsome, for Anna, this was not what she wanted, and the aggressiveness that Saint Jose showed made her a little scared.

"Well, that's a shame. Is there any restaurant around here? Take me there and we can have dinner."

"Okay, Mr. Tom."

"There's a French restaurant that just opened on Seventh Avenue."

Anna replied,

"I heard the food there is great."[space]

Anna said with some resignation that she could not give up such a high-paying job and could only succumb to Saint Jose.

Saint Jose smiled playfully, and the two of them took the elevator downstairs, followed by two rich and thick bodyguards with bulging pockets, who looked very intimidating.

St. Jose saw a cigarette vending machine on the roadside and asked the security guard to buy two packs of Camel cigarettes. St. Jose lit them up directly.

"The taste is just barely good, not as good as the ones from the Andes Cigarette Factory."

San Jose compared the taste. The products sold at the roadside machines were all cheap, and they were definitely not as good as the customized products given to him by the Eagle Cigarette Factory.

Anna and I drove to a French restaurant. It was very atmospheric. This French restaurant had a good style and was quite expensive. Although it was newly opened, it was still crowded with waiting customers. For rich Americans, the French accent was very good. A sense of accomplishment, and the French specialize in killing rich Americans,

When Anna was at the company, she had reserved a seat there under the name of Sequoia Company. She was a very qualified secretary.

Saint Jose sent away the security personnel and asked them to follow him at a distance, and they also had to eat.

Throughout the night, in the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner, he kept flirting with Anna, saying frivolous love words, completely immersed in his attentiveness to Anna, and gently touching her back. Anna finally fell for it. After all, Tom saw that It seems that Duo Jin is talented and handsome, which completely matches her imagination of Prince Charming.

Saint Jose is also releasing his wild nature, and Anna is his little lamb.

His closeness made Anna a little scared and a little happy.

In the end, Saint Jose did not let Anna go home and opened a room next to him. Anna took a shower and put on a new black silk nightgown, which she bought in a high-end store in the afternoon. The dress clung to her body. Physically, Anna is in great shape.

Saint Jose lay on the big bed and pulled Anna over...

Two o'clock at midnight,

"What do you think, honey?"

Saint Jose asked in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Tom, I hope you won't disturb me again in the future."

Anna's face was as red as an attractive apple. She seemed to have made up her mind and closed her eyes and said to Saint Jose next to her,

She now had mixed feelings about Saint Jose.

"Well, that's...impossible, at least in America, impossible."

Saint Jose replied with a chuckle.

"Good night, dear little Anna."

He walked to the bed and leaned over to kiss Anna's forehead gently, which seemed very gentle, completely different from the roughness just now.



On the third day,

"Boss, I have already asked someone to register the office and security company."
