The 10,000th Rebirth

Watanabe Ryosuke's escape triggered a series of chain reactions. The US military thought he had been turned and stole things related to nuclear weapons, so they immediately began to hunt for Watanabe Ryosuke.

Then, intelligence agencies of other countries, whether they knew what was in the floppy disk or not, would only think that the thing was very important, otherwise even the Americans and Lu Chengchou would not be chasing Watanabe Ryosuke.

Wang Zining certainly didn't know what was in it, but he received an order from above to find Watanabe Ryosuke and get the floppy disk.

Chen Luo laughed silently, then suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Conrad's temple, and pressed it gently.

Conrad didn't even hum, and fainted directly on the ground.

Chen Luo immediately said, "Cain, find all the transaction records of Vincent Eugene Company buying floppy disks at auctions."

The current computer usage and popularity rate in the United States is far higher than that in China. Except for those auctions that are not allowed to see the light, as long as they are legal, some transaction records will be left more or less.

Chen Luo only needs to find out which auction these floppy disks were bought at and where they came from, and then he can infer what the contents are.

"Searching records."

While waiting, Chen Luo took out Conrad's mobile phone and turned to the most recent call record, which was the number he called when he came in.

When Chen Luo saw the number, his eyes narrowed slightly, because the number was not from Germany or Europe, but a mobile phone number in the Middle East.

"Master, all transaction records have been found."

"Put it on this notebook and check where Conrad's most recent phone number was called from and who it was."

"Okay."

Chen Luo opened a notebook on Conrad's desk, clicked on the transaction record, and quickly browsed it.

Vincent's company is not a big company. In most cases, it buys back legacy technology on the market and does not participate in many auctions.

In the eight years since its establishment, it has only participated in 16 such auctions in total.

And because the amount of funds is relatively small, it does not participate in large auctions.

Chen Luo quickly browsed through the transaction records of these 16 auctions, and after directly filtering out the ones without floppy disk transaction records, only 7 were left.

In these 7 auctions, there were only 3 floppy disks with more than 1,000.

Chen Luo directly deleted all irrelevant data, found the list of the 3 auction floppy disks, and quickly browsed through them.

In this kind of legal auction, the source of each item will be clearly recorded to ensure the safety and reliability of the origin of the items.

Chen Luo is now looking for the companies to which these floppy disks originally belonged. As long as he finds out which companies are behind them, he can determine whether there are any valuable things in these companies.

"Master, the phone's location and user have been found."

"Wait a minute."

Chen Luo's attention was all on the list of companies in front of him at this time, and he directly filtered out Cain's voice.

Less than ten minutes later, Chen Luo finished browsing the original companies behind the total of more than 4,000 floppy disks, and finally locked in a company called "Clark Stationery Company".

When Chen Luo first saw the name of this company, he almost ignored it.

Because he repeatedly studied these companies, there were no valuable companies and technologies.

Until the end, he always felt something was wrong, and he checked it again, and then he knew where the problem was.

This Clark Stationery Company was later called "Clark \u0026 ​​Lyle". It was changed after merging with a company called Lyle in 2013.

Chen Luo suddenly smiled. After figuring out the name of the company, he already knew why this thing was rich enough to rival a country.

Clark Company is a stationery company on the surface, but in addition to producing stationery, it also cooperates with the US Treasury Department to produce an extremely important thing, that is, the paper used for the US dollar.

To be precise, it is not paper, but a mixed fabric.

It is a mixture of cotton, linen and other fibers, and these raw materials constitute the shape, weight and feel of the US dollar.

Of course, the fabric formula is top secret. Although the US Treasury Department has added three-dimensional pigments, holograms and other anti-counterfeiting marks to the banknotes, the paper formula has not changed for many years.

If someone gets this formula, they can make the paper needed for the US dollar and print real US dollars!

Mastering a paper formula that can print real US dollars, there is no need to work hard to make money, just get the machine needed to print money, and print money at full capacity.

It is precisely because of this that in order to avoid coveting by those with ulterior motives, Clarke and the US government have taken strict confidentiality measures, and few people outside know that this company is still producing paper for US dollars.

In addition, in order to ensure security, Clarke uses legacy technology from the 1970s to prevent hackers from invading.

So they have been producing US dollar paper for so many years, and it was not until 2019 that it was gradually known to outsiders.

Chen Luo heard at that time that Clarke's fabric formula had been lost once.

That was in the 1990s, when Clarke Company upgraded its computers, it was accidentally recycled by technicians and eventually leaked out.

But at that time, everyone who heard it treated it as a story, and no one really took it seriously.

Now it seems that the floppy disk must contain Clarke Company's fabric formula, which must have been circulated on the market many times before finally reaching Vincent's hands.

Then one of the floppy disks recording the fabric formula was mixed in with the goods and sent to the Gotham military base and to Watanabe Ryosuke's desk.

Watanabe Ryosuke was a bit knowledgeable. He recognized at a glance that it was an unredeemed lottery ticket, and the amount of the prize had countless zeros behind it.

As long as he got the remaining fabric formula, he could cash in this lottery ticket.

Chen Luo couldn't help laughing. He only had three months to live back then, and it would reset when the time came. Of course, he had no interest in this thing.

Although he is not short of money now, no one would complain about having too much money.

As long as the Americans do not modify the fabric formula for producing US dollars, they can plunder the wealth of the Americans by printing real US dollars. Why not do this?

Moreover, if Chen Luo does not take this thing into his hands, if it falls into Lu Chengchou's hands, wouldn't it be equivalent to aiding the enemy?
