The phone rang, and Liang Xi voice-controlled the remote control: "Handsome shrimp, connect the phone."
The mobile phone was connected, and it was amplified, Liang Xi: "Hello?"
Bobby lowered his voice: "Come here."
Upon hearing this tone, Liang Xi asked unhurriedly, "Who happened?"
Bobby: "Do you remember Jessica, the deputy general manager of the Mercury Group?"
Liang Xi let out a sigh: "What?"
Bobby said: "Two hours ago, she and her brother went to the suburbs to present equipment and checks worth 400,000 pounds to special schools on behalf of the Mercury Group. They were attacked and kidnapped on the way back. Twenty minutes ago, their father received Got the kidnapper's phone, transmitted the brother-sister video, and asked for ¡ê50 million."
Liang Xi thought for a while: "And then?"
Bobby said: "As you said, in many kidnapping cases, especially the kidnapping of rich people's children, there is a very high possibility of inner ghosts."
Liang Xi: "Does Jessica know you well?"
Bobby: "Elementary and junior high school sisters, our family has always been in contact, and the relationship is quite good."
Liang Xi said: "Bobby, this kind of thing is difficult to handle and difficult to investigate. So what if the inner ghost is dug out? The kidnapper has two hostages in his hand, not one hostage. You said 50 million is too high. Yes, he I can give you a discount, and give you a corpse by the way. The kidnapper who dares to attack such a high-level rich man and succeeds must be ruthless. It is reasonable to die. This case has already been lost before it is closed. I can go and investigate, but I don¡¯t like the atmosphere of despair and sadness, maybe you can turn around and become a punching bag, blaming me for failing to investigate the case and causing Jessica¡¯s brother¡¯s death.¡±
Bobby asked: "Do you think it will be my brother who died?"
Liang Xidao: "From a statistical point of view, the elder brother who is a man has a higher probability of death."
Bobby lowered his voice: "The Mercury family seems to be more concerned about the life and death of the elder brother, as well as Jessica. But the elder brother is related to the details of the family, the group, etc. Jessica is not involved in this aspect."
Jessica is the deputy general manager and an intern who has just completed her graduate studies. Jessica's older brother Jack became the assistant to the president's father, Jeff, during college, and has been working with his father in the top management for ten years. They also have a younger brother, 25, named Jamie. Jamie started his own company. Since Jamie was born out of wedlock, the family agreed to give him normal family treatment, but they did not agree to list him as the heir.
Liang Xi said: "Why does it sound like Jamie did it? It's not good for you to do this. Before I arrived at the scene, you instilled your subjective thoughts into me. If my girlfriend is not beautiful enough, I will probably Misled by you."
"Haney." Karin happily kissed Liang Xi.
Falk! He was actually in the mood to kiss, and even praised his girlfriend without words. Useless, this person will be useless after having a girlfriend. But now when asking for help, Bobby certainly can't point out Liang Xi's shortcomings seriously, saying: "Nonsense, Karin belongs to the goddess level."
Karin smiled and said, "Go, see how anxious he is. If you don't go, he will scold me."
Bobby laughed to hide his embarrassment: "The car to pick you up is coming soon, pack it up, hurry up."
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the completion of this special school. Mercury has been a long-term supporter of the school for 40 years, and his father, Jeff, asked Jack to deliver things to the school on his behalf. It is said that Jessica saw her brother take the car keys and go out, and she immediately went up to join in the fun when she was fishing, so she went together.
Jack likes to drive by himself every day, followed by four bodyguard vehicles. After arriving at the school to deliver supplies and checks, Jack made a speech on behalf of the Mercury Group. On the way back, we passed a crossroads. Because the line of sight was blocked by the woods, a small truck appeared unexpectedly, knocking the bodyguard's vehicle off the road and rolling into the ditch with a two-meter drop.
The bodyguards were not seriously injured, but the door was deformed and it took them some time to get out of the car. Back on the road, the bodyguard saw Jack's car parked on the side of the road not far away. The pickup truck was still there, but the driver was missing. According to the judgment of the bodyguard, after Jack found that the bodyguard's vehicle had an accident, he immediately stopped to check the situation, and was held hostage by the robbers hiding in the truck. The robbers took them away in a second car that was ready.
The bodyguards were very professional and did not call the police. One person was left at the scene to deal with the traffic accident, and at the same time informed the security company of the situation. The security company speculated that the brothers and sisters had been kidnapped, so they sent technicians to bring equipment to the family manor of the president of the Mercury Group. After obtaining the consent of the principal, Jack¡¯s father, the security company fully controlled the access and security of the manor, and patiently waited for the kidnapper¡¯s call.
About an hour and a half after the kidnapping, the kidnapper called and asked to transfer 50 million pounds to the designated account within 24 hours. don't want?Maybe it's safe to leave. But in most cases, the consequences of indecision are even more serious than the consequences of making the wrong decision.
Another example is a real human hero. Decades ago, a certain base in Su was alarmed. The system showed that the United States launched a nuclear bomb against the Soviet Union. According to the standard line, a nuclear bomb must be launched immediately to counterattack. But the hero didn't do that. It was later discovered that it was a system failure that triggered the alarm. Everyone was very happy with the result and he became a hero. On the other hand, if the alarm was true and he did not launch a counterattack, Su would lose most of his nuclear counterattack capabilities after the first round of bombing, so is he still a hero?
Everything in the Mercury Group is in order, and few people know that something major has happened to the company. A woman in her thirties was waiting for Liang Xi at the door. She was Jeff's assistant. It is necessary to explain here that Jeff, the chairman and president, has three types of assistants around him. The first category is personal assistants, who are employed by private individuals, not employees of companies. Both life and work belong to the category of personal assistant management. Schedule appointments, plan trips and more. Jeff is going to the United States. The personal assistant must ensure that there is a car downstairs, a plane at the airport, and a car at the U.S. airport to pick him up. He also arranges the residence in the U.S. and the schedule of work and rest during his stay in the U.S.
The second category is assistants. Assistants are employed by the company, and their job is mainly to deal with work matters. For example, Jeff sent an email to a supervisor. A few days later, Jeff asked about the assistant. After the assistant indicated that the supervisor had not responded, he had to go and contact the supervisor. A big client came to London, and the assistant needed to contact the other party's personal assistant to make proper arrangements for the big client, and at the same time, arrange a meeting between two company executives according to business needs.
The difference between the two is that a personal assistant is like a butler, taking care of everything. The assistant is similar to the chief bodyguard of the manor. He is only responsible for work and does not touch Jeff's personal affairs. Personal assistants can directly arrange private jets and bodyguard teams for Jeff's travel, but assistants do not have this energy.
The third category is administrative secretaries. Administrative secretaries are mostly clerical workers. They belong to the administrative secretarial department and are dispatched by the secretary department to the directors, vice presidents, and presidents to be responsible for clerical work. Type, print, go to the legal department to draft a contract, follow up on documents, collect office supplies, explain some details of the contract to Jeff and other chores. For example, Jeff sees that a certain employee is excellent, and decides to give him a bonus of 10,000 pounds in the name of the company on a whim. The administrative secretary will contact the financial department in writing to achieve the final implementation goal. Of course, Jeff's signature is required during the process. .
Generally speaking, administrative secretaries cannot be regarded as the boss's cronies, but they have the obligation to keep the boss's private issues confidential.
The highest floor of the building is the director's office. Although the major shareholders don't come often, the administrative secretary and the office are all equipped for them. There are also board meeting rooms, board of supervisors and other institutions on this floor. There is an exclusive elevator on this floor, although there is only one, but it is enough.
The second level is the office area for the president, vice president, chief financial officer, etc., and the office area is relatively casual. In the middle is a large open office, around which the executives' individual offices surround. The open office is divided into several small units, where secretaries and assistants of various executives work.
Jack is nominally Jeff's assistant, but in fact he has his own office, his own assistant, but no personal assistant. Jack¡¯s younger sister, Jessica, has her own office as the vice president, but has no assistants or secretaries, so Jessica spends a lot of time working in an open office. In order to protect the privacy of employees and ensure safety, there are surveillance cameras on the lower floors, but the open office area is avoided, and there are only surveillance images of aisles and corridors.
At the request of Liang Xi, Assistant Jeff went to the security room to get the monitoring. Under the curious gaze of the employees, Liang Xi walked slowly for half a circle, pulled out a chair and sat down. A nearby employee reminded: "Hello, this is Jessica's location."
"I know, thank you." Liang Xi has a black card ID on his chest, VIP guests, all departments are not allowed to obstruct, and must cooperate with the status of the most powerful customer who meets his requirements. The director has to help press the elevator when he sees it . Liang Xi opened Jessica's drawer and found a pack of snacks. He touched the table and found the powdery residue from the snacks. This is a crispy snack. I only ate a little after I opened the package, but I didn't pack it up. It means that the owner is impatient or has something to do, so I hurriedly put it in the drawer without sealing it.
