Chapter 365: Symbolic Revenge
(Bow and thank you for the support of the four monthly passes of "Mo Xiaobao Shui Duoduo"!)
A helicopter landed on the special helipad of the Great Wood Manor, where Wood, the first heir of the family, and Aldron, the president of the bank, greeted him, and then the patriarch George stepped off the plane, and Wood immediately ran over in three or two steps.

"Father, how are you going to the meeting over there, are those guys bothering us too much?" asked Wood nervously.
George rubbed his temples, and he could see that he was a little tired, and he said to Wood: "Remember, my child, that all capitalists are a bunch of hungry wolves who eat people and do not spit out bones, and every dollar of wealth in every bank is a delicious sheepfold in their eyes. As for you, whether you want to be the head wolf who occupies this sheepfold or the shepherd dog who guards it, the decision is only in your own hands. ”
Wood was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely be the first wolf to occupy the sheepfold!"
George smiled and patted Wood on the shoulder, saying a word of pride for Wood, and Wood said to George: "Father, have you read today's news? Tang Ran, that little bitch of the Tang family, actually announced in the media today that he was going to declare war on the Morgan family!"
The expression on George's face didn't change much, and he was obviously not surprised by the news, he nodded and said, "Of course I know the news, and this decision of hers surprised me because it was not a wise choice." ”
"It's not wise, it's stupid for me to think it!" Wood took over his father's words and said, "The Tang family is just an ordinary consortium family on the West Coast, even our Big Wood family can't compare, and now they have to declare war on the Morgan family again, and they don't hesitate to experience the Great Depression again, this kind of thing is really an heir who has not been systematically cultivated, this brain and vision are rubbish!"
"I don't think she knew how the Great Depression happened!" Wood continued, in a big tone, "if they dare to do anything too much, I'm afraid that we won't need to do anything, and someone will tear them to shreds." ”
Wood finally suggested to George: "Father, since they are so dead, let's just join forces with the Morgan family and take down San Francisco, if Big Wood Bank can take over the assets of Chinabank, we can get a big boost!"
George was not in a hurry to make a decision, but asked Aldron who was coming with him to greet him: "What do you think?"
Alderon saluted George before replying, "I think their actions are too strange, maybe Tang Ran is a twenty-three-year-old young man who will be easily impulsive, but there are other Tang family members in the Tang Bank, it is impossible for her to do whatever she wants." And Tang Ran, judging from her performance in inheriting the Tang family, she doesn't know anything, at least she has a helper like Zhou Ming......"
Speaking of which, Aldron thought for a moment before continuing: "Unless that Zhou Ming had some accident in Eitley, so it caused San Francisco to become crazy, because according to the information, they seem to be lovers. ”
Hearing the news, Wood smiled and said, "Is it? If Zhou Ming's bastard dies, it will be really great news!"
"So you think we shouldn't take action for the time being, and we need to observe the situation first, right?" asked George.
Now Wood was not happy: "Father, why do we still have to observe the situation? Now it is obvious that they have made a huge mistake, it is our opportunity, why don't we take advantage of it?"
Aldron nodded yes to George, and George made a decision: "In that case, let's do nothing, let's look forward to the Tang family's subsequent performance." ”
After deciding on this, George turned to Wood and said, "My child, you have to understand that when hunters catch their prey, they always put the food that the prey wants most on the trap as bait, and sometimes it is easier to see the situation clearly, and you must understand that after taking advantage of the situation, it is they who are anxious and not us." ”
......
On April 26, the Tang family's revenge on the Morgan family, which was concerned by the entire United States, quietly kicked off.
San Francisco TV paid attention to the retaliation from the whole time, so their coverage was also the most representative, but their headline was somewhat intriguing: symbolic revenge.
At half past nine in the morning, when the New York stock exchange had just started a new day of trading, hundreds of investment companies controlled by the Tang family and the California consortium began to frantically sell the shares of the three pillar banks of the Morgan family, causing the shares of the three major banks of the Morgan to fall by nearly 1% on average in an hour.
But this decline was like this, and then the Morgan family used the financial resources to tell the Tang family why he was the first in the United States, and with the support of the funds mobilized by the Morgan family, the stock of Morgan Bank quickly stopped falling.
Seeing this, the Tang family did not fall in love with the war, and immediately gave up the stock market attack on Morgan Bank, and instead went to buy several investment banks for real estate controlled by Morgan Trust Company.
These investment banks are not only venture capital for real estate projects, but also have a more important function of dealing with non-performing assets acquired by JPMorgan Bank. You must know that JPMorgan Bank has just bought a non-performing asset with a theoretical value of $15 billion from the Big Wood family, and if it loses its access to disposal, then they will have a net loss of $15 billion.
Although the Morgan family has the money, and there are political considerations in buying the bad assets of Big Wood Bank, it does not mean that they are willing to bear the loss.
As a result, the Morgan family immediately made adjustments, injected capital into these companies, and adjusted the share structure to make the acquisition of the Tang family no longer so convenient.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Pan American Steel suddenly exposed the quality of the steel, and then the stock market was sold off, and in the space of an hour, the company fell by more than five percent.
The Pan American Steel Company also belongs to the Morgan family's holding industry, and the Morgan family will certainly not ignore it, so the Morgan family also turned back and redeployed funds to support the Pan American Steel Company, first stopping the decline in the stock market, and then carrying out public relations treatment of the exposed steel problems.
They first recalled all the steel with quality problems, compensated all dealers, and set up an investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation into the incident.
Today, the Tang family's retaliation action is very smart, they did not fight to the death with the Morgan family in one field, but switched back and forth in several fields, if they saw that the Morgan family did not intend to give up, the Tang family would retreat directly, so although the Tang family's approach was dazzling, it actually did not cause much loss to the Morgan family.
And there is another detail that is very interesting, that is, after the duel between the Tang family and the Morgan family, at the close of the stock market at four o'clock, the shares of the Tang Bank and the three major banks of Morgan all rose slightly by 0.3% to 0.8%, although the increase is not large, but it is also very surprising, perhaps this is because investors believe that the duel between them can better activate themselves.
......
The time of the day passed quickly, and with the closing of the U.S. stock market at four o'clock in the afternoon, the fierce financial duel between the Tang family and the Morgan family for a day also stopped temporarily, but at this time, Zhou Ming received a call that he had been waiting for, but it was very unexpected.
"Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you should still remember my voice, I really can't help but say to you from the bottom of my heart, you won, I admit defeat to you. ”
With this sentence on the phone, Zhou Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, because as the other party said, he did still have an impression of this voice, which was the voice of Jack, the head of the Morgan family.
"It seems that the Great Wood family must have made a very stupid decision, right?" Zhou Ming asked.
Jack replied cheerfully: "That's right, because of what you did, the Great Wood family made a wrong judgment, and he no longer believes me." ”
This is what Zhou Ming wants, and it is also his purpose to let the Tang family take gentle revenge on Morgan.
After all, the Morgan family did it to the Tang family, if you directly give up revenge on the Morgan family, it will seem too superficial, and it will be difficult for the Big Wood family to believe, so revenge is still necessary, but the way of revenge is to use your brains.
The thunder and rain are the core idea of the Tang family's revenge, which is simply to retaliate against the Morgan family's property with great fanfare, but in fact it has not caused any substantial harm to the Morgan family, and it looks like a deliberate performance.
Because of this, the Big Wood family will feel that the Tang family and the Morgan family are deliberately acting for him, and once the Big Wood family becomes suspicious, the rest of the things will be much easier.
Such an approach will not be useful for people with tendons, but for those who are suspicious and distrustful of others, it will be very effective. Especially when they discover the discovery themselves, they will be convinced of it, and people are like this, once they find a problem, they will fantasize about the worst of it, and eventually influence their own decision.
Now judging by Jack's words, it is clear that his plan has worked.
While breathing a sigh of relief, Zhou Ming also asked curiously: "Mr. Jack, I'm glad you can make this call, but I'm still curious, that is, even if the Big Wood family finds a problem righteously, he just doesn't trust you, shouldn't break up?"
"Mr. Zhou Ming's personality is really cautious. Jack said, "Actually, I didn't break with the Big Wood family, but I simply thought that they no longer had the value of cooperation, in short, after considering the abilities of you and George, I decided to cooperate with the more capable party." ”
In Jack's subsequent words, he told Zhou Ming that Morgan Bank originally bought the $15 billion non-performing assets of Big Wood Bank at the theoretical original price, and the deal had exchange conditions, but now when George began to suspect the Morgan family, he wanted to postpone the delivery of this exchange condition for the sake of insurance, but how could Morgan agree, so they broke down, and then Jack called Zhou Ming.
"I see, I didn't expect there to be such a relationship here, I thought that there would be some time for the Big Wood family to make a move, but I forgot the principle that your Morgan family will not really do that kind of loss-making trade. Zhou Ming said, "And Mr. Jack, your decision is also very fast." ”
"A gem that has been shattered, even if it was once worth more, I would give it up. Jack then said, "So Mr. Zhou Ming, now that we are allies, what should we do?"
"It's not us, it's you. Zhou Ming corrected him and said, "Mr. Jack, I think I need to remind you that we are not allies, just because of the robbers who want to share the spoils of common interests, and now I have been doing it, since you want to get involved, it is your turn to do it." ”
Regarding Zhou Ming's statement, Jack was stunned for a moment before he continued: "You are too smart, Mr. Zhou Ming, I feel that I seem to have made a very bad decision." ”
