What Qin Lou browsed through was not anything else but the expenditure that was so complicated that it would make one's head explode.
This was the most confidential data in Duke Corporation, and its firewall was comparable to some military systems.
Unfortunately, it was not completely isolated from the regional network, so there were many loopholes in Qin Lou's eyes.
The reason why he wanted to investigate it was also related to Veronica.
All of this started with Veronica's father, Barre, who was a famous chemistry professor. His unfinished work, Barre's gasoline additive-had attracted the attention of countless giants.
The gasoline additives could be poured into the fuel tank in a ratio of one-fifth to allow the vehicle to run normally and maintain the engine to a certain extent.
In addition, the price of Barre gasoline was very low, so low that it was only one-twentieth of the price of the same gasoline. This undoubtedly had a very large market prospect.
In time, Barre could even become the richest man in the world! Unfortunately, he had just made a major breakthrough in his research. Not long after that, he was in a car accident with his wife one evening.
Although it looked like an ordinary car accident on the surface, it gave rise to countless conspiracy theories at the time, and it was still mentioned from time to time more than ten years later.
Barre's unfinished gasoline additives were also taken over by the Duke Group at that time and finally successfully developed. Now, Duke's gasoline additives were distributed all over the world, and Duke Group became an oligarchic company in Great Britain.
Under such circumstances, Duke Corporation was naturally suspected by many people to be the real culprit behind Barrett's death. However, in the world of capital, ordinary words and power were difficult to shake this giant, so the truth of the matter was still unknown.
From the moment Veronica exposed his identity but didn't report him, Qin Lou had already decided to find a chance to return the favor. So, he immediately began to investigate after learning about Veronica's background.
Qin Lou was looking through the Duke Corporation's accounts from fifteen years ago. All these large and small amounts of money had their own whereabouts and explanations. Everything looked extremely formal.
Although there was a lot of money, Qin Lou only collected the expenditure of more than 100,000 pounds in the five months before and after the incident.
If Professor Barley's death was really related to Duke Corporation, he believed that he could find the answer from these numbers.
In the end, Qin Lou calculated a total of 78 expenditures of more than 100,000 pounds.
These 78 expenditures ranged from 100,000 to 10 million. The larger expenditures were similar to employee salaries, while the smaller expenditures covered a wide range of expenses, from employee medical care to the purchase of tables, chairs, and office tools.
The explanation of the expenditure and the direction of the money seemed impeccable. There was no loophole.
However, Qin Lou didn't believe that a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars could be so clean.
Therefore, he followed the bank accounts and company names, trying to dig up some clues.
This was destined to be a boring and long job.
However, Qin Lou did not lack patience.
……
"Professor Jacques."
"Hello, Professor Jacques."
When they arrived at Veronica's laboratory, many researchers greeted Qin Lou along the way.
In their eyes, Qin Lou was half the owner of this place, not only because he was one of the people in charge of this project, but also because he had an impure friendship with Veronica.
Of course, this was just what they thought.
"Jacques, I was just about to go find you.”
Veronica was much more serious than usual, so much so that Qin Lou sometimes wanted to put a white coat on her.
"What's the matter?"
Veronica looked back at him."Do you have money?"
"You mean…the 1.6 billion USD?" Qin Lou was stunned.”
"That's right."
"Yes, do you want to borrow money?"
Qin Lou was curious. He didn't mind borrowing money, but if he remembered correctly, Veronica was a rich woman.
Veronica looked at him like he was a fool."How can you be so stupid! If you pay to support our research, the results and patents will be ours. But if the school pays, the patents will be theirs!”
Qin Lou laughed awkwardly.
He had almost forgotten.
"I will transfer the money to you, but I don't want the patent. You know that I'm a fugitive.”
Veronica was silent for a moment, then turned around."Then forget it. I'll continue to apply to the school.”
"Why?"
This time, it was Qin Lou's turn to be puzzled.
Veronica fiddled with the new materials on the table and said without looking back,"I don't need a patent either. Since you don't want it either, you should keep your money.”
