Rebirth of England

Just after Ivanta and her secretary were taken away by the FBI to "assist in the investigation," some well-informed people, whether in the United States or England, had already received the news.

That was the special plane "Devenhill" of the Duke of Devonshire, which took off from Colo. On its way to the United States, before leaving the African continent, it was suspected of encountering an enemy in the airspace adjacent to Libya and Algeria. Attacks—these people who were the first to receive information received different descriptions of the events due to their proximity to the source of the information and the different channels.

For example, someone received news that a bomb was installed on the plane and exploded during the flight.

And someone got the news that the Devon Hill in flight was attacked by a missile in the crash area...

So many and so many...

But one thing that is relatively certain is that the plane exploded and disintegrated in the air, and it was probably impossible for everyone on board to survive.

It can be said that this news is very shocking.

Who is the Duke of Devonshire?

That's not just one Duke in England - after all, even though the Duke is already the highest non-royal title in England, there are still twenty-eight Dukes in England, which is not a small number in terms of number.

The key is that in addition to the title of Duke of England, Barron Cavendish is also a world-renowned investor, entrepreneur and super-rich man - his global wealth ranking has always been among the top five in the world, and he has also won many titles. The richest man in Britain.

Of course, a few discerning people know that the wealth calculated in these wealth rankings is only part of the apparent wealth of the Duke of Devonshire.

It is no exaggeration to say that secretly, the Duke of Devonshire controls Britain's leading communications, energy, media, automobiles, retail, luxury brands, finance, technology and other companies... Truly every British person, from birth to Until death, he cannot do without the industry he controls.

If something happens to such a person...

The consequences are unimaginable. If nothing else, once chaos is caused, I am afraid that the entire British economy will suffer setbacks.

It is no wonder that the Queen immediately summoned Cameron as soon as she learned of the matter, hoping to get detailed information about the matter and confirm the safety of Duke Devonshire.

…

"Boss, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the source of funds in the short term, but what is certain is that many of the companies we control have been short-selling on a large scale, and some media have also begun to publish news about the accident that happened to His Highness the Duke..."

In the DS Financial Center in the City of London, the atmosphere here at the DS Group is a bit tense at this time.

A few days ago, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) conducted an investigation into illegal transactions at the New York branch of DS Group. Although it was very troublesome, it was actually not a big deal for Daisy - judging from the past, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Wall Street capital, including Chase, has experience of being investigated by the SEC, but in the end, it often ends with nothing. At most, they have to pay a part of the fine to reach a settlement, which is the so-called "losing money to eliminate disaster."

What's more, the DS Group's internal self-examination also proved that they did not have particularly big problems in the aspects alleged by the SEC - of course, it is definitely an exaggeration to say that their operations are completely legal and compliant, but people like them In financial groups, it is normal for individual employees to slightly cross the line, and they are not in a position to be seriously dealt with by the SEC.

If that is really the case, then all Wall Street capital, one by one, may not be spared...

But starting today, DS Group has begun to discover that the listed companies controlled by them, including United Energy Group, O2 Telecom, Woaw Technology and other companies, whether listed on the London Stock Exchange or listed on the US stock market, have successively encountered problems. A large amount of money was shorted...

If this kind of thing were done in normal times, Daisy would not panic, but would laugh out loud, because it would be the same as committing suicide.

But at this time, and some media, including those in the United States and Europe, have begun to release news that His Highness the Duke has encountered an accident, it will be a bit troublesome.

Because these news will inevitably affect market sentiment, when the market becomes suspicious of these companies when the Duke of Devonshire encounters an accident and the company's future is unclear, it will easily lead investors to sell their stocks for hedging. When an idea appears, it is like a domino, and the chain reaction will inevitably cause the stock price to continue to fall.

Even if they can provide funds to support the stock price...it is easy for those short-selling institutions to take a bite of the meat in the process.

What's more, before this, due to the global quantitative easing policy, the capital controlled by Barron's also took the opportunity to make large-scale acquisitions. Now if a huge amount of funds are used to support the stock prices of related companies, it will easily affect the operations of these industries. There is a shortage of liquidity. If some people seize this point and carry out targeted attacks, the consequences will be more than just being bitten off a piece of meat...

What makes Daisy feel a little troublesome now is that she herself can't contact Barron. This makes her worried about the other party and at the same time, she is also a little unsure about how far to fight back against the current short selling.

"We will temporarily use our existing funds to protect the market. In addition, we will contact those companies and issue relevant announcements as soon as possible to appease investors."

This is also the safest approach now...

…

Quincy Dean, director of the FBI's Criminal Investigation Bureau, walked into the interrogation room again.

At this time, Ivanta, who was sitting in the interrogation room, looked at him calmly accompanied by his legal advisor.

Although the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the due process rights of American citizens, including "freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures".

That is to say, law enforcement agencies cannot search and seize citizens without clear evidence and reasons.

But now Ivanta is facing the FBI. The FBI does not need a charge to arrest people-although in most cases, they will arrest and prosecute suspects based on criminal behavior, but sometimes they may also launch investigations based on other reasons. In this case, the FBI may take action even without a clear charge.

The FBI's duty is to investigate and combat various crimes, including terrorism, economic crimes, cybercrimes, etc.

In the process of performing tasks, the FBI sometimes takes extraordinary measures, and even does not need a clear charge, but only needs suspected criminal behavior to interrogate the target.

Now the FBI has detained Ivanta for nearly 10 hours. If it cannot find enough evidence, it will let Ivanta go after 24 hours at most.

After all, Ivanta is not an ordinary person. Not to mention that she comes from the TP family, even the IC Capital she manages is a capital giant in the United States. Moreover, after Ivanta was taken away by the FBI to "assist in the investigation", her team has already taken action. Many congressmen have "expressed their concern" about this, and there are also congressmen who question whether the FBI has evidence to carry out this action.

It can be said that the FBI is also under considerable pressure now.

DNA Quincy Dean did not care about this. He sat in front of Ivanta and put a newspaper on the table:

"Ms. TP, the report on it may be of interest to you."

Ivanta first glanced at her legal advisor, and after the other party nodded, she picked up the newspaper. This was a copy of the Wall Street Journal, which was also a newspaper that Ivanta would pay attention to on a daily basis.

However, when her eyes fell on the bold headline of the newspaper, she immediately showed a surprised expression and widened her eyes.

"The Duke of Devonshire's plane was attacked and exploded, and no one on board survived..."

"No, this can't be true!"

Quincy Dean was looking forward to this moment before he came in. At this moment, he admired Ivanta's beautiful face with a slightly inappropriate expression, and smiled:

"Do you think we will give you a forged newspaper? In front of your lawyer? Maybe Ms. TP, I can give you time to let your lawyer confirm the authenticity of this news..."
