Chapter 736 Support
It stands to reason that much of the information in the current investigation of the David Smith case is being kept confidential.
But in the real world, there are not so many things that are reasonable. Since Attorney General Harrington Porter wants to restart the investigation of this case, the corresponding police officers must cooperate. With Sinclair Given the group's prestige in Maryland, it was not difficult for John Smith to obtain the inside story of the case.
After all, there is a very good excuse to care about the death of his elder brother.
"Fortunately, the prisoner named Bartland was not deceived by the prosecutor and framed you, John, but this is always a hidden danger..."
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Barron. After all, from beginning to end, he never explicitly talked to John Smith about anything against David Smith, let alone participated in it.
What surprised him was that after finding someone to do these things, John Smith didn't wipe his butt clean, leaving such a hidden danger. It seemed that even if he could ruthlessly remove his eldest brother, But he is really not a person who does big things.
This is normal. Before this, the Sinclair Group was mainly expanded by his father and eldest brother, and he has always been well protected.
But then again, it is this kind of person who is Barron's best partner - provided that he can ensure that he will not get stuck because of this matter.
Fortunately, John Smith was smart enough and knew not to talk to Barron about this matter on the phone, but to interview him in person - Barron himself owns O2 Telecom, so how could he not know, like O2 Telecom, in the United States, definitely needs to cooperate with their relevant agencies. Not only the FBI and CIA, but also the American police, after obtaining authorization, can require O2 Telecom to provide the call records and even the call records of their users in the United States. Perform remote monitoring.
Therefore, since the other party is now looking at John Smith, it is not impossible that his phone calls have been monitored.
If John Smith had really mentioned this matter on the phone, Barron would have directly stated that he did not know what he was talking about, and then completely stayed out of the matter - because that could only mean that he was too stupid.
Even now, when Barron is talking to John Smith, John Smith has been checked by Barron's security personnel before to make sure that there are no listening devices on him and that their cell phones have been Leave it outside.
And even so, Barron would not leave anything behind when he spoke.
He looked at John Smith and said:
"You should know how tempting it is for a state attorney general to turn the death of your eldest brother into a murder case and convict someone in your family, especially you. , once this thing can succeed, it will definitely become the other party's dazzling resume in the future..."
John Smith still knew what Barron said very clearly. After he nodded in agreement, he heard Barron continue to say :
“Therefore in order to To achieve this goal, the Attorney General named Harrington Porter is likely to offer tempting conditions to Bartland in exchange for his testimony against you, so your actions must be accelerated, John. "
In fact, when John Smith came to Barron this time, he had never encountered such a thing, and other people, he was not at ease to discuss this matter - even his wife Jenny Bu Especially, John Smith didn't want her to be involved in this matter either.
No matter what Barron said, it was he who asked him to "solve" his eldest brother David Smith, and he also believed that the young Duke's methods in this regard were indeed what he wanted. That's why we met today.
After Barron's analysis, he also realized the danger of the current situation and made it clear what to do.
When John Smith left, Barron patted him on the shoulder:
"John, I believe in you, so I will support you."
Yes. , I will give you all the support except help.
Of course, Barron would never say this. ……
“I didn’t expect you to be interested in the pharmaceutical industry, Barron.”
Bill Gates said to Barron very kindly.
"Is this weird? Mr. Gates."
"After all..."
"After all, I'm still relatively young?"
Barron said with a smile:
"I am not only prepared to invest in Pfizer, but also in some pharmaceutical companies and institutions with unique new technologies. After all, this It has nothing to do with my age. The pharmaceutical industry can help us humans fight against diseases. This is a very meaningful thing..."
Well, Bill Gates could only smile and forget it for the time being. He has a sense of his own It felt like my lines were being spoken.
Barron and Bill Gates have both been at the top of Forbes' list of the world's richest people for several consecutive years. They have known each other before. As Microsoft successfully completed its acquisition of Skype, the relationship between the two has become closer. got up.
This time, Barron's meeting with Bill Gates first discussed Barron's ongoing acquisition of part of Pfizer's shares.
Pfizer is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. In fact, as early as 2002, the Gates Foundation had begun to purchase shares of this company, so now Bill Gates is also Pfizer one of the major shareholders.
In addition, the Gates Foundation has also invested in many emerging pharmaceutical companies. After all, health is an eternal big industry.
Of course, the future virus that will sweep the world will also make many companies, including Pfizer, huge profits. Just because of these, Barron's will not miss these companies.
The current market value of Pfizer is around US$100 billion, and the funds controlled by Barron including Blue Valley Capital, Merrill Lynch Investments and Global Industrial Investment (GII) invested a total of US$10 billion, purchasing almost 10% shares of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and will continue to buy them in the future.
"You know, Mr. Gates, I have set up an artificial intelligence laboratory in Silicon Valley, and I know that Microsoft is also conducting research and development in this field..."
Barron said to Bill Gates:
< br>"In addition to Pfizer, I am also very interested in innovative pharmaceutical companies. I think that in the future, artificial intelligence It can also be well used in the pharmaceutical field to help them shorten the development cycle of new drugs. The application of this new technology is still very promising.”
I have to say that Barron’s view is quite similar to that of Bill. Gates coincided with each other, and this was also an area that he was very interested in. Therefore, the two had a good conversation about these things.
