"No, you can't. "San Francisco, the headquarters of Wells Fargo, shareholders gathered and roared angrily at the audience.

"Of course I can, my boss currently owns 52.5% of Fumin Bank, settled on Wall Street, and the decision to reopen will not change. ”

Ben, who has been sitting in the think tank for many days, is sitting in the conference room at the moment, and politely smiling to inform the shareholders of this sudden news.

"We have a lot of depositors in San Francisco, what are these people going to do?" one shareholder protested.

The interstate bill for the banking sector hasn't changed, and if they want to gain a foothold on Wall Street in New York, they'll have to close their doors here.

"The branch here will be closed and temporarily closed, telling all customers that they can choose to withdraw their money or wait for Wells Fargo in New York to open. ”

Sure enough, Ben gave the exact answer they had guessed.

"Their families, their careers, their lives are here, are you going to let them go to New York every time they withdraw money?" one shareholder gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.

"I said, they can take their own money. Ben still kept smiling.

"I'm not going to agree with such a ridiculous decision, I'm going to protest to the Fed, you're ruining this bank, ruining our hard work. ”

The former largest shareholder, the founder of Wells Fargo, the Fargo family, the third generation of William Fargo blushed and shouted with a thick neck.

"This resolution will not change, as for what you want to do, Mr. Fargo, that is your freedom. ”

Ben restrained his smile, stood up and closed the document in front of him unhurriedly, and said with a playful gaze: "I also want to inform you that Wells Fargo will receive a capital injection of up to 1 billion US dollars, and I hope that the money in your pockets is enough to keep the existing shares." ”

When Li Zitao and Juliana started negotiations, the think tank's acquisition of Wells Fargo had already begun.

Wells Fargo's stock price plummeted to 80 cents, and shareholders were relieved to let a large number of shares remain in the market at a time when no one was going to touch the banking industry at all.

So the think tank spent a week quietly absorbing 45 percent of the shares without attracting anyone's attention.

Then he opened his mouth and swallowed 7% of the shares in one fell swoop.

By the time Wells Fargo's board of directors reacted, he had a 52.5 percent stake.

After Ben left with his bodyguards, the shareholders in the conference room collapsed in their seats, thinking about what to do next.

With a capital injection of 1 billion US dollars, the current market value of Wells Fargo is only 20 million, which is obviously not giving them a way to live!

With such a huge infusion, how much stake will they be able to keep? 0.05 percent, or 0.1 percent?

......

Money money, money, after finalizing all the details in New York, Li Zitao should worry about money.

He doesn't have a capital reserve of 400 million US dollars, and now he can only think of one way, pledge shares for loans.

"Aiken, I've got you a big deal. The first thing Li Zitao did when he returned to Chicago was to invite Aiken to dinner.

"......" When he knew that Li Zitao was going to borrow 400 million US dollars, the fork in Aiken's hand almost fell on the table.

"What are you going to do?"

Aiken's first reaction was that Li Zitao was about to run away.

In this situation, what kind of business can use 400 million US dollars? Is he going to go west and buy Los Angeles?

Li Zitao's favor for Los Angeles is clear to anyone who pays attention to him.

"Investment banking, insurance and wealth management industry, I plan to settle on Wall Street!" Li Zitao said easily, but he unconsciously showed a wry smile on his face.

Settling on Wall Street sounds like a simple affair: rent a building, set up an office, and hire people to open your business.

But if things are really that simple, Li Zitao really has to thank God.

"Hehe......" If Aiken had watched the live broadcast, he would have to shout six, six, six......

Wall Street is Morgan's counter-scale, the private domain of the Morgan consortium, and they never allow anyone to get involved.

is also one of the eight major consortia, and if you want to get involved, you have to form a cross-holding with Morgan and let the other party get a piece of the pie.

Who gave you the courage to dare to do this, is she surnamed Liang?

"What are you going to use as collateral......? Or S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Aiken's pupils lit up visibly at the last name.

"Golden Arches!" Li Zitao directly dispelled his conjecture.

Blue and White Chamber of Commerce?

Do you have that good appetite?

"The details will be determined by the joint ...... Think tanks are here to talk to you. Li Zitao wanted to talk about Union Bank.

can think that it is now in a shutdown, it is simply an empty shelf, and the United Bank has no leader, Li Zitao feels that it is more reassuring to hand it over to the think tank.

"Of course. Aiken nodded regretfully.

He is more interested in S.H.I.E.L.D. than in the Golden Arches, or rather, all consortia are interested in S.H.I.E.L.D.

According to information gathered by the think tank, a total of four consortia, including the Chicago consortium, are forming their own armed forces.

Of course, their movements are more secretive, and they keep their subjects abroad.

The family is big and famous, and it is also a burden for them.

Li Zitao started with S.H.I.E.L.D. and started a private security industry, and also received support from the military.

In addition, he is a Chinese, and most people look at him as if they are looking at a 'foreign company,' and they are already vigilant, so it does not have much impact on him.

These giants are different, they are national enterprises recognized by the people, participants and witnesses of the growth and rise of the United States, and they are the pride of the people.

"What you represent is the country, and now you suddenly want to engage in private arming, what do you want to do?" Rumors stop at the wise, and the wise are not one of them.

99% of the world is made up of ordinary people, so this nonsense can basically be ignored, and the big incidents caused by rumors have never decreased.

The bigger the company, the higher the status, and the more attention it will receive for its every move.

If the public were to know that the corporations were engaged in armed forces, the first thing that would come to mind would be, "There will be war again." ”

The Civil War, the Mexican-American War, World War I, the Spanish-American War, and while the United States became strong and prosperous as a result, these experiences did not seem pleasant to the average family.

No matter which nation or country in this world, the beneficiaries of war will only be the whole country and a small group of people.

For ordinary people, war represents only life and death and cruel wails.

"I agree to this loan, but there is one thing that needs to be kept secret. Before the conversation ended, Aiken made a small request.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Li Zitao also didn't want people to know that there was a shortage of funds.
