Chapter 630 Faint move (repair)

Martin Dinham's report finally briefly describes the current situation of the two behind-the-scenes envoys in the assassination.

After the fund was liquidated, Clark Gralf not only lost all his wealth accumulated over the years, but also faced financial difficulties such as claims and bank claims and bank reclaiming real estate, and creditors recovering debts. The former may not be very threatening, and the risks of hedge funds are well known. If you invest, you must be mentally prepared to lose all your money. The latter is a devastating blow to the Gralf family.

The Gralf family bought a $6 million mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side two years ago and spent $3 million to renovate.

Due to the consumption habits of rich people, George Gralf did not choose to pay in one lump sum, but instead conducted a bank mortgage.

Upon learning that Gralf’s fund was liquidated, the bank immediately took back the luxury house in the Upper East District.

The contractor, who also owed more than $2 million in renovation costs, applied to the district court to seize two other real estate and luxury cars in the Upper West Side and Southampton respectively, which will be paid in the near future.

Losing all real estate, the Gralfs had to move from the expensive Upper East Side to a rental apartment in Lower Manhattan.

Not only that, George Graffe's backyard also began to catch fire.

George Gralff is 45 years old. As an excellent fund manager who has accumulated millions of dollars in his life at the age of 25, Gralff won a model wife, Laura Gralff, who is 9 years younger than him at the age of 29. After marriage, they gave birth to two daughters one after another. Cathy Gralff, 16 years old and Victoria Gralff, 14 years old. After marriage, Laura Gralff began his career as a noble lady for more than ten years.

Until her husband suddenly went bankrupt.

In order to avoid being implicated, the full-time housewife, who is only 36 years old, not only filed for divorce at the first time, but also secretly hid all the jewelry given by her husband over the years in the safe of a bank in Manhattan. Due to a sudden family change, the two daughters of the family had to temporarily drop out of school from an expensive private school in Manhattan. During this period, the two daughters who missed the school spring break and traveled to Europe also complained a lot about their unlucky father.

The rest of the Martin Dinham report was completely in a calm bystander style. Until here, the intelligence agent who had done intelligence work and now wandered in the gray area could not help but comment on the mother and daughter with obvious emotions.

Selfish and powerful.

However, George Gruff, who encouraged his old classmates to empty their family business and shorted technology stocks, was not a good person, otherwise he would not have planned a trick to assassinate Simon in desperation.

It probably responds to the old saying: It’s not a family, you don’t go into the family.

Simon curiously found a group photo of this family from the information. I have to say that at least from the photos, it is difficult to see the nature of any of the family members.

In the photo, George Gralff is wearing a suit with frameless glasses and legs sitting on the sofa, looking elegant and successful.

The woman in a long trouser black dress stretches out her body and leans against her husband. The woman has beautiful long flax hair, delicate face and fair skin. Even if she keeps lying on her side, she can see that the woman is at least 180cm tall. The photo date attached to the lower right corner of the photo was last year. Laura Gralf, who is in her thirties, does not show any trace of the era of destruction. Instead, she has a mature charm that can arouse men's desires.

The sisters standing behind this couple clearly inherited their mother's outstanding genes. Although they were only 15 and 13 years old last year, they both had a tall figure of more than 170cm and their appearance was very similar to their mother. If they got together, some people believe that the young couple said they were twins. The mother and daughter would probably be regarded as three sisters.

Maybe it's good to collect three vases like this.

Making a random decision, Simon put the photo aside and continued to read Dinham's report.

Martin Dinham, opposite the desk, noticed Simon's eyes just now.

His boss obviously became interested in Laura Gralf, whom he hated.

Perhaps, the interests will be wider.

However, the young man opposite was not as interested in women as a man, but rather like a collector seeing several good collections.

Thinking of this, Martin Dinham consciously stopped his thoughts.

Unless his boss ordered, these are not things he needs to pay attention to.

Since getting this job, one principle that Martin Dinham has always adhered to is to keep his duty. He will spare no effort to do what he should do and will never interfere with what he should not interfere with. Although as an agent, as a secret agent most of his time is too curious, and the result may be fatal.

The other Woodfield family is also in chaos.

Just like the Hurst family, although the assets are far inferior, the Woodfield family is also a well-known and well-known family that has been passed down in Pittsburgh for a hundred years.

From the last century when British immigrant Ralph Woodfield founded the Monroeville Machinery Company in Roville, Pittsburgh's southern division, to the present, the family has been passed down to the sixth generation, but there are more than 30 direct descendants of Ralph Woodfield.

The news that George Woodfield, chairman and CEO of family-owned Monroeville Machinery, misappropriated huge amounts of funds and caused all losses was exposed by local media. The share price of Monroeville Machinery has plummeted by more than 30% recently.

Other family members who were unable to get involved in controlling the family business and could only honestly accept trust benefits, jumped out to accuse George Woodfield of the serious negligence.

George Woodfield's illegal misappropriation also included part of the pension reserves of Monroeville Machinery. After the incident, more than 300 workers in the company also chose to strike immediately and asked the management to give a clear answer.

Regulators including the SEC also launched an investigation into Monroeville as soon as possible.

Other shareholders of Monroeville, who have been suppressed by the company's dual equity structure, have also jumped out and demanded to take over the company.

The local media are even more worried about the excitement and try every means to explore insider information and follow up reports.

It can be said that George Woodfield can now be described as "embrace-in-place".

After spending more than half an hour patiently reading the report, Simon's expression did not change much, nor did he comment, but asked another thing about Martin Dinham: "Is there anything happening over Hurst?"

Martin Dinham, who was sitting opposite the desk, was patiently waiting for Simon's questions or two to stand up, found a copy of the information on the table, and said: "The recent monitoring records of the six core figures of the Hurst family, including some of the key recordings and videos, are here. However, I think the most important information is that after John Hurst left the Salisberg house last night, he discussed with William III that the three newspapers being sued, and put pressure on us by leaving 1,100 workers unemployed. The Hurst family can take the opportunity to lobby the newspaper industry unions and federal regulators to come forward to limit our lawsuit bombing on the grounds of protecting workers' rights."

Martin Dinham said, sitting down opposite each other again at Simon's instructions and continued: "I conducted a brief investigation last night. However, the Stanford Advocate in Stanford, Connecticut, about 370 employees involved 13 union organizations including the journalist union, the Printer union, the Truck Driver union, and five of them are national. If these unions work together, even Congress will not underestimate them."

Simon narrowed his eyes, looked at the video cassettes on the desktop, and asked, "Is there any video of their conversation?"

Martin Dinham nodded, skillfully found a box of videotapes, and after Simon nodded, he walked towards the TV on the side of the study, he continued: "William III likes to talk about these things with people in his study. We quietly installed cameras, and most other monitoring points can only install simple eavesdropping devices."

As he said this, Martin Dinham stuffed the videotape into the video recorder, and soon the scene of William Hurst III and the John Hurst brothers who had just met Simon last night appeared on the TV screen. The discussion was about the matter of putting pressure on the Westeros system by closing the three newspapers.

The American trade unions will decline rapidly after the new century, which is an inevitable trend.

However, the union forces that were once derived from various old-fashioned industries in the United States are still very strong at this stage. Just like all kinds of automobile industry unions that have largely led to the decline of the US automobile industry due to excessive demands, the various newspaper industry unions related to traditional paper media are also mixed.

The entire Hurst Group has a total of hundreds of newspapers, magazines and TV stations. At present, it has more than 20,000 employees.

Simon avoided his own affairs and let the "vulnerable group" attack the Hurst Group as the spokesperson. The Hurst family intends to fight for tooth.

Compared with those weak ordinary people, the trade unions of various paper media industries with a total membership of one million are much stronger. Because these trade unions have a large number of votes, they have a great influence on the federal government.

If Simon did not obtain evidence of the conversation between the two brothers in advance, once the Hurst Group launched, the Westeros system would be very likely to be in a hurry.

Even if those union organizations understand the potential intention of the Hurst family to close the three newspapers, due to the lack of substantial evidence, perhaps getting some of the benefits promised by the Hurst family will likely point the finger at Simon.

Now, as long as you take the opportunity to release the video after the incident, you will find that many union members who have become the tool for pressure from the Hearst family will never give up. It is just that this kind of disguised dismissed dismissal is enough for the Hurst family to have a heavy bleeding.

There are more than 1,100 employees in the three newspapers, and there is strong union support behind them. The amount of compensation is definitely calculated in 'billions'.

After watching the video expressionlessly, Simon thought for a moment and said to Martin Dinham: "You are completely withdrawing the investigation of the assassination from now on and focusing on surveillance of the Hurst family. I need more video materials, not just recordings that are easily refuted. But..."

Simon said as he picked up the remote control on the desk and turned on the TV by the wall again. This time the picture was still a surveillance camera, but it was a surveillance camera near the manor.

Martin Dinham recognized a white Toyota sedan that he had seen the flaw when he came.

This is often followed by those around the Westeros family. The team in charge of Martin Dinham once conducted secret investigations on these people. Among them, there were private detectives, authorities agents, and agents from overseas countries. In short, they were all forces that covet the Westeros family.

Simon used to ignore the meaning of these people.

After all, these people are like weeds, and they will definitely regenerate if they are cut off. Moreover, the security and intelligence teams of the Westeros family were not strong enough. They can only avoid these people from breaking into Westeros’ private houses and installing eavesdropping devices as much as possible.

Simon now doesn't plan to tolerate it anymore.

Discovering the clarity in Martin Dinham's expression, Simon continued: "...Before this, clean up all these followers, and send them to Tierra del Fuego together like last time. Also warn them that if someone approaches Westeros' house in the future, I will only send them to heaven or hell."

Martin Dinham nodded, and saw that Simon had no other instructions, he helped to reorganize the information on the desktop and briefly introduce it, and then left the study with his empty suitcase.

Regarding the follow-up to the assassination, since Simon spoke, Martin Dinham had no intention of asking about it any more.

From a very early days, Martin Dinham knew that the Westeros secret intelligence team had far more than one group. A few years later, the intelligence team directly under the jurisdiction of Martin Dinham has developed to five groups of people, a total of 32 people, but these are still only a small part of the Westeros secret power.

Moreover, Martin Dinham also found that most of the teams he led were only responsible for monitoring and collecting intelligence, and at most they were just doing some work to send people to Tierra Tierra. They had never touched the more sensitive "dirty" work.

Obviously, the Westeros must have a group of "executors" who are deeper in darkness.

During the New York mayoral election last year, the authorities determined that the gangsters were fighting in Bao Ruiwan, Queens, and the media basically believed that only Martin Dinham knew that the relevant gangster transaction information was collected and provided by a team under his name, and then the gangster fight that they did not participate in was in.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

Martin Dinham occasionally couldn't help but wonder if there were surveillance monitors around him to prevent them from betraying them.

However, these thoughts did not cause much trouble to him.

Even if there is, it is reasonable.

After all, the real national intelligence agents are completely open to the supervision.

This is the rule.

From an Australian government agent to his current job, Martin Dinham was very satisfied with everything his young boss gave, and naturally he never had any thoughts of betrayal. Therefore, it doesn't matter even if there are eyes behind him.

When Martin Dinham left the manor, Simon's personal bodyguard Ken Dixon quietly gave him a piece of information, which was the followers around Westeros who needed to be sent to Tierra del Fuego.

While driving back to Manhattan, Martin Dinham recalled the situation he had just met.

The expression of his boss was always calm, but Martin Dinham could feel the murderous intent clearly emitting from the young man. This feeling was very mysterious. At some point, he even felt that the young man sitting behind the desk might have killed someone like them.

This idea was immediately dispelled.

Martin Dinham knew a lot of his boss's "glorious deeds". The young man had extraordinary physical strength and should also know fighting skills. Not only did he easily break the leg bones of five people with one against five, he also set a record of ten consecutive KOs in an underground boxing ring in Melbourne. These are topics that their group of people occasionally talk about in private.

Because of this profession, most of them will instinctively worship the strong.

However, if your boss has killed someone and seen blood, Martin Dinham doesn't believe it very much.

His boss's rise since he was 18 years old is clearly clear. He stared at so many eyes. If he had been stained with blood on his hands, he would have been caught as a handle. There are countless people in this country who covet Simon Westero's wealth.

As for an orphan before the age of 18, a person may fight with others, but it is unlikely that something like killing should be.

After a moment of random thoughts, Martin Dinham quickly put aside these indifferent thoughts.

If you are just a pawn, then do what a pawn should do with peace of mind.

Through the rearview mirror, Martin Dinham couldn't help but smile with a contemptuous smile. These people had probably easily followed the Westeros' house for too long and had become a waste, thinking that everyone was a waste.

Then, let's start with you.
