Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1001 James's End
Anbang Bank ranks eighth in the federation, but ranks third in the financial industry. Anbang Bank has a great influence in the federation.

The reason why Anbang Bank invested in Black Star Company was actually for business purposes, but Anbang Bank’s shareholding in Black Star Company was not publicly announced.

Anbang Bank also has many competitors, not only local banks in various federal states, but also other financial institutions.

Anbang Bank holds shares in Black Star mainly to keep abreast of the latest developments of Black Star so that it can seize the initiative in subsequent cooperation.

Not only Anbang Bank does this, other financial institutions also do this.

Martin, James's direct supervisor at Anbang Bank, saw the email and hurried to find his supervisor: "Boss, this is bad."

After seeing the content of the email, Martin's boss also felt a headache. Anbang Bank did not have many shares in Black Star Company, and the value was not very high.

James planned the attack on John Li and he agreed to it. For Anbang Bank, tens of millions is not a huge sum of money.

If tens of millions could get more shares in Black Star, that would be great.

If it fails, then the tens of millions can be taken back, because according to the normal task process of the mercenary union, if the task fails, the funds will be returned.

But things are different now. Because of the provision of wrong information, the A-level mercenary group was almost wiped out. The Mercenary Union cannot sit idly by.

If the Mercenary Guild does nothing, then others will also provide wrong information when issuing tasks, and the Mercenary Guild will soon collapse.

Mercenaries like money and adventure, but that doesn't mean they are willing to die. If the information provided by the union is so outrageous, would any mercenary dare to accept the mission?
Martin's boss was not sure whether what was said in the email was true or not. If it was false, it would be fine, but what if it was true?

Then his career would be over, so he asked Martin: "What do you think?"

Martin heard what his boss said and said, "Actually, James is no longer suitable for his current position. This email came at a very timely moment, but time is a bit tight. I'm afraid we have to mobilize the bank's special operations team in Karaya."

"Also, the content of this email is too clear, so..."

Martin's boss heard this and said, "Regardless of the origin of the email and whether it is true or false, the email mentioned that James has begun to contact relevant personnel. If we react slowly, it may cause significant losses to the bank."

"I'm thinking about how to deal with it. The easiest way now is to directly deprive James of his identity."

"The other is to catch people in the act."

"The first one is simple, but what James did cannot be made public. Our bank's consistent principle is to remain neutral and not participate in any struggles between forces. We are just doing business."

“So once it’s made public, it’s likely to damage the company’s reputation.”

"It's a bit difficult to catch him in the act. We don't know where James signed the contract with the other party."

Anbang Bank has been able to grow big because it remains neutral and never leans towards any one force. There are too many forces in the federation, and if Anbang leans towards any one force, it will offend other forces.

"Why don't we email the other party back? The other party's purpose in sending us an email isn't very simple." Martin asked after hearing what his boss said.

"This is a good suggestion. You can do it." Martin's boss nodded.

Only then did Martin realize that his boss was asking for this sentence. In other words, if there was a problem with this matter, then he would be the first person responsible. It was a pity that he came to report it just because he wanted to shift the blame to his boss.

Martin couldn't do anything about it, because James was directly managing this side.

James sent an email using his smart device, and the sender address shown in the email was from the league.

As for where exactly in the alliance it is, no one knows. These Internet companies in the alliance keep user information confidential, so Martin is not surprised.

Martin was sure that the person who sent him the email was from Vichi City, or maybe from Black Star Company.

Martin sent an email: We have received your message, thank you. Do you know the specific time and place of their transaction?
Yang Bo waited for the email at Tianyunxing, because the previous email did not mention the location and time for signing the mortgage contract.

Because Yang Bo didn't know either, James hadn't started contacting the contact information given by Tate. James returned home and was asking his family to prepare to run away.

James had no good intentions. He let his family go first and also made two preparations for their contact information.

If things are not going well on your side, you will expose your family members. Of course, the contact information you leave for your family members at that time, such as where to meet in the alliance, are all fake.

When Yang Bo saw the email sent by the other party, he replied directly: Of course!

Martin immediately sent a message: So what does your Excellency need to tell us the time and place.

Martin thought that the person who sent the email wanted to gain benefits. After all, Anbang Bank was wealthy and had great influence.

However, Martin was somewhat confused by the other party's reply, which was: I am just showing my sincerity and laying the foundation for our next cooperation.

It's not that Yang Bo doesn't want benefits. Anbang Bank is a federal financial institution and can check exactly to whom the money has been paid out. The Federation does not have as complete personal privacy protection as the Alliance.

As for whether there will be another cooperation, it is hard to say. After all, I am still preparing to make great strides in the Federation.

When Martin saw the email, he looked at his boss. His boss nodded but didn't say anything. Martin didn't know what his boss meant.

So Martin sent another email: Excuse me, what is your occupation and how did you get this secret information?
Martin's email was a bit presumptuous. Although there is no such thing as privacy in the federation, it is very impolite to ask about someone's background right away.

Yang Bo directly replied to the email: It doesn’t matter who I am or what I do, and it doesn’t matter how I knew the news. What matters is that the news is true, and I will soon be able to get the information about where James signed the mortgage contract.

Martin was not surprised when he saw the other party's answer. Even if the other party told him what he did, he would not believe it.

Martin sent another email: "Excuse me, sir. I don't know your business scope. So when we have business, maybe we can cooperate."

Yang Bo saw the other party’s email and replied: Not necessary for now, I will contact you if necessary.

Martin saw the other party's question and asked his boss: "Minister, what do you think?"

"This guy obviously has other intentions, but as long as we follow the work process, I believe he won't be able to gain any advantage. Who do you think this person is?" asked Martin's boss.

Martin shook his head: "I don't know who James mortgaged his shares to. It's not clear yet. Maybe the institution that James mortgaged his shares to knows the details of us and James, so they did this on purpose?"

"After all, if we get James' shares, we will also offend our bank."

Martin never thought that it was James, the target of this mission, who sent him the email, because the information in the email was too confidential. James wanted to mortgage the equity of Black Star Company for a loan, so only James and the loan institution knew the news.

James is going to run away, and he will definitely not tell more people about it. Let’s not talk about how powerful the Mercenary Union is.

Since the Mercenary Union wants to claim compensation, they will definitely keep an eye on James. Martin's boss said, "You should immediately apply for a special operations team acting mission. If the email information is true, the acting will become a real battle. If the information is false, it will just be an acting."

Martin nodded. It was impossible to confirm whether the contents of the email were true or not, but once the shares of Black Star Company were mortgaged, it would be a big trouble. The economic loss was secondary. The key was face.

If this white glove dares to mortgage the equity and run away with the money today, there will be more white gloves who will do the same tomorrow.

Where is Anbang Bank's reputation? If other competitors interfere, it is probably impossible to get back the equity. Even if it can be taken back, the price to pay will be considerable.

Martin wrote an email on the spot, and his boss approved it in person, and then proceeded to the next step.

Anbang Bank has branches on many planets in the Federation. These branches have their own armed forces to maintain the operating order of the bank.

After all, the federal system has a lot of bad loans and so on. If it didn't have some means, believe it or not, it would have collapsed long ago.

In addition, the Federation also uses a large amount of physical currency, so the transportation and storage of currency also require the use of force.

The reason why the federation still uses physical currency on a large scale is because of institutional reasons. There are frictions between companies in each city. Maybe today this area is under the jurisdiction of Company A, and in a few days it will be under the jurisdiction of Company B.

Besides, many people don’t trust banks. After all, under this system, if your deposits go missing, the bank will accuse you of false accusation if you don’t have some background, or even make the plaintiff and his entire family disappear.

Of course there are other reasons, such as unstable network. Some people don’t even have smart watches, so how can they pay online?

The administrative center of Kalaya State is Port City, a large city near the sea estuary, which is said to have three million permanent residents.

Anbang Bank has its own branch and base here. The branch received an urgent task from the headquarters. Although it was an act, the task process was clearly arranged.

The special operations team in the base set off immediately. Porter City is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Vichy City.

Anbang Bank’s special operations team consists of ten people. After receiving the mission, they set off quickly.

These ten people did not carry mechas, but wore battle armor and were equipped with cold weapons, because the use of hot weapons and energy weapons is strictly prohibited in most cities.

This was a secret mission, so we only carried cold weapons. Ten people took a high-speed car and set off directly along the highway.

The speed of high-speed flying cars can reach over Mach 1700, which is over meters per second, and these flying cars can only fly along the highway.

Of course, different flying cars have different flying altitudes, and the faster the speed, the higher the altitude.

Yang Bo waited for half an hour before James started contacting the person whose contact information Tate gave, and then the two of them made an appointment to meet at a bar.

Moreover, James was cunning. He arrived at the bar first and then contacted others. He wanted to see who the person was and whether he was reliable.

Of course, James has to be careful now, after all, he has to run away.

Yang Bo sent a message to Anbang Bank, and then kept a close eye on James' spiritual seed. Yang Bo had no intention of revealing that this matter was related to Tate, as this would easily cause others to suspect him.

After all, John Lee had just had a disagreement with Tate.

Moreover, Yang Bo believes that Anbang Bank will be able to find out who has been in contact with James. How can such a large enterprise grow so big in the federal environment? Doesn’t it have some ability?
Martin almost lost his temper because the special operations team had arrived in Vichy City and the car had been driving around the city for several minutes.

What shocked Martin and his boss was that the other party actually knew clearly that James had arrived early.

At this time Martin knew that this incident was true, so Martin's boss accessed the remote real-time video of the special operations team.

A ten-member special operations team was sitting in a flying car. The members of the special operations team were wearing armor, holding cold weapons, and wearing masks and sunglasses.

This kind of dress is very normal in the Federation. Many people also wear old-fashioned bulletproof vests because the federal security is not very good and there are often conflicts.

Martin's boss gave the special operations team a new mission.

The special operations team began to carry out the mission, and they drove their cars towards the target location. Because in the city, all cars had to drive close to the ground and there was a speed limit.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the outskirts of the mission site and two people got off first.

Many people on the street were fully armed, because some had just returned from outside, and some were preparing to leave the city.

The special operations team members' attire is not particularly outrageous, because the equipment of these teams are chosen by each member to suit him or her, so it looks flashy and does not look like the kind of equipment that is organized on a large scale.

Then the flying car dropped off a few more people outside the mission site. These people were to prevent the target of the mission from escaping.

Martin's boss took a deep breath as he watched the special operations team's actions.

At this time, the people who contacted James came. They were two young men. James saw the two people enter the agreed private room in the hall, waited for a few minutes, and then entered the room.

Yang Bo was observing James through the spiritual seed. It was the first time that Yang Bo saw the Vichy City Bar like this. He wondered if the people from Anbang Bank had arrived.

"Sir." The two young men in the private room saw James coming in and quickly stood up.

"Did you bring the money?" James asked anxiously.

"Of course, as long as you sign the mortgage agreement, you can get 200 million alliance credit points." The two young men said with a smile.

When James heard this, he shouted angrily, "The shares I mortgaged are worth three billion!"

"Sir, the 18 billion you mentioned is the billion in our federation, but we have million in the alliance. I'm sure you are aware of the personal privacy of the alliance. Of course, if it is the currency of our federation, we can give it at % off, billion." One of the two young men spoke up.

James gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred million, or there's no point in talking."

"Three hundred million at most, otherwise we will ask someone else to negotiate." The two young men stood up, as if issuing an ultimatum.

"...Okay!" James also knew that the other party had him in his grasp. He had no time to bother. Time was running out for him to escape. He signed the agreement and would leave the planet immediately after the money was received.

"Hurry!" James said anxiously.

James provided an account, and the two young men transferred 50 million first before signing the mortgage contract.

boom!
Just as James was signing, the door of the private room was kicked open. Before James could react, he felt something placed on his neck, and this thing was shining with blue light.
