Chapter 143: The Wool Comes Out of the Sheep

With the rumbling of the engine, Robert drove his sports car into the Adams Manor in the White Mountain Forest, parked his car casually on the expensive lawn, and then got out of the car and headed straight for Christo's study.

As a frequent visitor to the manor, Robert was very aware of his father's schedule at this time, but this time he didn't guess correctly, he ran into Christo on the way, but it was not a problem, he immediately said: "Mr. Christo, I heard that at the previous meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank of Brighton, you lost our Adams family, and actually made a rescue operation to withdraw from Brooke Investment Company. ”

Christo's face was gloomy, in fact, when he saw Robert for the first time, he could guess what the other party would say, so it was not surprising that he was able to answer: "This matter is not as simple as you think......"

But Robert didn't intend to listen to Christo's reason, he directly interrupted Christo's words and said: "What do you think is so simple? Didn't Christo withdraw from the rescue operation of Brooke Investment Company? Didn't you lose your family's company to an outsider like Zhou Ming to humiliate? At this time, you still make such an excuse in front of me, or the patriarch of the Addams family, I am ashamed of you!"

"I said that you don't understand the situation, at that time, it was the three major families of Kendini Lawrence and Lowell who supported the Chinese behind the scenes, and I had to make some concessions for the sake of the family. Christo said.

"A concession that has to be made for the sake of the family, this kind of thing is only said by a cheeky guy like Christo. Robert said disdainfully, and then spread his hands and said, "Well, I can trust your words, I can even believe that you have not lost your temper in front of that Chinese, nor have you lost the battle with him, but you always need to explain your thoughts, right?"

"It's only you, Robert, I'll put up with you," Christo pointed at Robert with anger, "I think you must know about the Ponzi scheme of Brooke Investments, Robert, in this incident, the mortgage assets worth $600 million of Brooke Investments were bought by someone for less than three million by subscribing to customer investments......"

Before Christo could finish his words, Robert pouted and said, "This Brooke Investment Company is really a bunch of pigs' heads, this kind of thing can happen." ”

Christo ignored Robert's ridicule, he continued: "That is to say, Brooke Investment Company has lost another $600 million on the previous basis, this figure is already the bottom line that the family can accept, although it is not impossible to save Brooke, but the price is too great, now that the Chinese is willing to accept it, the price is just to put back his partner, I think this business is very cost-effective no matter how it is calculated." ”

Robert sneered and asked, "Mr. Christo, do you really think so?" Or you can check whether the Chinese's money has actually reached Brooke's account. ”

"Robert, don't you think you're too anxious? If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese's account was unfrozen two days ago, and it's normal for him to need time to mobilize funds. Christo said.

Robert couldn't help laughing: "I said, Mr. Christo, can you touch your heart and ask yourself first, do you believe it or not?"

After Robert finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Christo looked at Robert's back thoughtfully, and then he also turned around, he went back to his study, picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Ming's number, he asked Zhou Ming: "Chinese, your partners have returned to Brighton, and the problems of several of your accounts have been solved, so is it time to fulfill your promise?"

Zhou Ming said: "It is indeed the case, but I think Mr. Christo, you also understand that I need time to mobilize funds, and I don't have the ability to raise 10 billion yuan immediately like you." ”

Christo sneered: "Chinese, you should keep this perfunctory three-year-old child, you know this can't blind me at all! I can tell you that I am in a very bad mood now, if I find out that I have been deceived, I will be very angry, and the consequences of my anger are by no means what you can bear, I hope you can listen to my words well." ”

Zhou Ming said helplessly: "Okay, I can admit that these are excuses, but if Mr. Christo wants you now, I will definitely not be able to come up with it." ”

"So how long are you going to be? You know that this Brighton investment company is already a very big loss-making company, and it won't be able to do it if it doesn't have a limited time. Christo asked right away.

"I can't say for sure, but I'm conservative in estimating that it will take at least two or three days. Zhou Ming replied.

"I'll give you three days, and if I find out after three days that you've deceived me, be ready to bear my wrath. ”

Christo hung up the phone after speaking, on the other end of the phone, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were together, and they were holding a meeting with Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov, they heard Zhou Ming's call, and immediately asked worriedly: "Zhou Ming, you are okay, right? If you can't come up with so much money at once, you can find a way together, after all, this money is related to our freedom, and we are all willing to take it!"

However, Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "Actually, I didn't plan to give money to Brooke Investment Company from the beginning, although it is a very good investment way to force the company to bankruptcy and then acquire it, but I don't have this plan." ”

Zhou Ming's answer surprised Tong Gang, Li Cheng, and Ilbedov, and they didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant by this, what meant that this investment method was good, but he didn't have this plan? Is this a deliberate attempt to deceive Christo? But this will not have any practical meaning except that it can really provoke him, could it be that Zhou Ming's plan is to provoke Christo to have other plans?

Zhou Ming could see what the three of them were thinking, and Zhou Ming told them: "If Mr. Christo's psychological quality is not good, he may be provoked, but I don't intend to lie to him." ”

Saying that, Zhou Ming took out a document and put it on the table and said: "For the funds of Brooke Investment Company, I think we should go to Brighton Bank together tomorrow, as the so-called wool comes out of the sheep, and now the sheep are so fat, we should not be merciful." ”

Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov subconsciously looked at Zhou Ming's documents, they were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine how Zhou Ming could come up with such an idea, they could even imagine how angry Christo would be if he knew. But when you think about it, it seems that there is no one who says that this is not allowed, including Christo.

......

The next morning, Zhou Ming, Lin Muqing, Tong Gang, Li Cheng, Ilbedov and their lawyer Allen all came to the Bank of Brighton together, and the lawyer Allen applied for a loan from the Bank of Brighton.

"My client wants to borrow $700 million from the Bank of Brighton against the 3,000 properties he owns. ”

In the face of lawyer Allen's speech, the manager of Brighton Bank was confused at that time, first of all, the figure of 700 million US dollars was too huge, and the manager of Brighton Bank had basically never seen such a large loan, and he was infinitely nervous; second, the manager looked through the real estate mortgages provided by Zhou Ming, which were actually the properties that Brooke Investment Company had mortgaged and borrowed from the bank.

This will not be Zhou Ming who cheated out all the mortgaged properties of Brooke Investment Company, and then used the money to inject capital into Brooke Investment Company.

This kind of financial means of empty gloves white wolf, I'm afraid that even on Wall Street, few people will be able to play it.

The bank manager's heart was too shocked, but he just took a breath and said to Zhou Ming with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, you ......."

He had just gotten up, and Zhou Ming said to him, "Who are you going to report this situation to?"

The bank manager was taken aback and immediately replied no, and Zhou Ming then said: "But I can't stop you if you want to report, but you have to get my loan done first, right?"

"It's ...... I'm so sorry because ...... Because I have limited power, I ...... I'm afraid I'll have to delay ......"

Listening to the stumbling appearance of the bank manager's words, Zhou Ming still had no choice but to wave his hand to let him out, Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov were a little worried: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what if the current situation really lets the patriarch of the Addams family know?"

This is the way things are in this world, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.

When Tong Gang Li Cheng and Ilbedov were talking on the front foot, Zhou Ming's mobile phone rang immediately, and there was no doubt that this call was Christo's, and Zhou Ming heard Christo's scolding before he was connected: "Zhou Ming, you most disgusting scoundrel in the world! You actually want to use the collateral assets of Brooke Investment Company to buy the equity of Brooke Investment Company, the conditions you think are really excellent!"

Zhou Ming laughed and said: "Thank you very much Mr. Christo for your praise, I also think this method is very good, I just hope that Mr. Christo can be more supportive." ”

"Yes, I know you Chinese are a group that likes to dream, but today's dream, I think you must be thinking too much!" Christo said.

"I don't think I'm thinking too much about myself, but Mr. Christo is thinking a lot......"

Before Zhou Ming finished speaking, the manager of Brighton Bank walked in and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, the loan you need has been approved, and the bank will credit your account as soon as possible." ”

The bank manager's voice was not deliberately lowered, so Christo heard it all on the other end of the phone, and the news made him petrified instantly, because this result was something he didn't expect anyway, but more importantly, the other three were completely on Zhou Ming's side, Christo hoped that it was a nightmare, but the facts told him that it was true.

"Zhou Ming, you bastard, I'm going to kill you sooner or later, I swear!" Christo said.

Zhou Ming was very relaxed here: "But you have to wait for Christo, you have to wait until sooner or later." ”
