A snow-white private helicopter with a rumbling roar skimmed the narrow strait and finally flew over Rhode Island.

Although Rhode Island is a resort for the rich, there are also grades among the rich, and those who can afford to drive a luxury car are very rich for the average person, but in front of the real rich who can travel by helicopter, it is still a grade worse.

In the envy and jealousy of many people, the helicopter swaggered over the villa area, and finally slowly landed on the roof of a seaside villa.

Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were on the roof of the villa, and an American and a Chinese stepped off the plane one after another.

The Chinese face is not unfamiliar, he is Sun Wei, the general manager of the US branch of the Hong Kong City United Investment Fund, he came over to first introduce the Americans next to Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing: "This is Mr. Wells, he is the largest investor in our US branch company, and he is also the chairman of an investment bank, he can provide us with funds and help us with our merger and acquisition plan, and the helicopter I am flying in today is also provided by Mr. Wells." ”

Listening to Sun Wei's introduction, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing couldn't help but glance at Wells, although they had long known about the existence of such an investor, but they had never been in contact. Looking at it now, this Mr. Wells may not be an ordinary rich man, because private helicopters are only available to people of a certain status, especially today, this private helicopter is not bad.

As for the existence of investors, this is due to the different laws of the United States and Massachusetts, and the Hong Kong City Joint Investment Fund must exist in the form of an independent company, so in order to integrate into American society as soon as possible, reduce the possible resistance in the middle, and also to save part of the budget, Lin Muqing allowed Sun Wei to sell the company's shares here to raise funds, which is why Wells, the largest investor.

Of course, although the company's shares were sold for some reason, that was only a part, and the most critical controlling stake is still in the hands of the Hong Kong City United Investment Fund itself.

This Mr. Wells is a white and pure American, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking very gentle, he took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Zhou Minglin Muqing: "I have long heard that there is a group of more powerful businessmen behind the Gangcheng Investment Company, and I have long wanted to meet you, I am very happy!"

Zhou Ming also shook hands with Wells and said: "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Wells, you have helped us a lot in the establishment of the Hong Kong City Investment Company." ”

After some greetings, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing took Sun Wei and Wells downstairs.

By this time, the living room of the villa had been sorted out, and all the information about the Brighton Bank had been piled up in a neat pile.

This is not Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing's lack of heart, deliberately trying to expose the secrets of Brighton Bank, but it is precisely they who deliberately keep a heart for themselves.

The reason is simple, they have no way of telling whether Wells belongs to the Adams family, let alone how much he knows about the affairs inside the Brighton consortium. Therefore, deliberately putting these Brighton Bank secrets here, if he really belongs to the Brighton consortium or the Addams family, at least he can confuse him, and if not, I believe that he can get to this point, and the basic IQ is still there.

Sure enough, when Wells arrived in the living room, he immediately saw Zhou Ming's information files piled up there.

Wells was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhou Ming and Ms. Lin, if it were me, I would definitely put away the most important information, because if others see it, it may not be a good thing." ”

From Wells's answer, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing both heard the outside words, and it was obvious that Wells did not belong to the Brighton consortium.

got the answer he wanted, Zhou Ming then said: "Actually, it's not necessarily, this is because we don't treat you as an outsider, Mr. Wells, but completely treat you as the best partner." ”

Wells shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and then said, "Well, I'm very happy that you trust me, but we are both businessmen, and I think we should talk more about the main thing. ”

"Since Mr. Wells has mentioned this, as a partner, I should not hide it, but I still hope that Mr. Wells will be mentally prepared. Lin Muqing said.

Listening to Lin Muqing's words, Wells smiled: "I think I have understood Ms. Lin's kindness, but I don't think I need to make any mental preparations, unless you want to merge and acquire Brighton Bank." ”

"The one we want to acquire is Brighton Bank. Zhou Ming took Wells's words and said.

Hearing this answer, Wells was stunned at the time, he looked at Zhou Ming left and Lin Muqing on the right, his eyes were full of doubts, as if asking: You are not kidding me, are you?

"It may be a surprise to you, Mr. Wells, but we're serious. ”

Zhou Ming said to Wells, and then he pointed to the pile of very tall documents and said, "Those are the preparations we have made. ”

Wells glanced in the direction Zhou Ming pointed, and then said: "I'm sorry, I'm not skeptical about your determination, I just think that you haven't been in the United States for a long time, and you don't know much about the situation in Brighton, this Brighton Bank is not as simple as you think, Brighton Bank is not in good shape now, even if he is losing money year after year, he will never accept any form of merger and acquisition." ”

"I'm also very sorry Mr. Wells, I don't think there is anything absolute, I think no matter how big the bank, it can be acquired. Zhou Ming said.

"That's why I said, Mr. Zhou Ming, you don't know the actual situation in the United States or the city of Brighton. Wells said.

However, before Wells could open his mouth to educate Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming immediately said: "I think Mr. Wells is mistaken, I actually know it very well, I am very aware of the existence of the Brighton consortium, and I also clearly know that Brighton Bank is the core of the Brighton consortium." ”

Wells was a little surprised, but he still said: "It would be good if Mr. Zhou Ming understands, I want to say that the Brighton consortium is not just a name, but a collection of real wealth, such as the Massachusetts Textile Company, the Bell Aircraft Company and the Phoenix Company, these giant companies in Massachusetts must have you heard of it, right? But I want to say that they are actually just subsidiaries of Testrom. ”

Wells deliberately paused here before continuing: "As for the Brighton consortium, he is a giant consortium composed of many super-large conglomerates like Trollöm, how can the core bank of such a consortium be merged?"

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and asked, "Why won't it be merged?"

Wells was stunned again, he couldn't have imagined that Zhou Ming would ask such a sentence, because since he understood, there was no reason to be so persistent!

However, Wells quickly came back to his senses, and he said to Zhou Ming: "Well, since Mr. Zhou Ming is so insistent, then I think he must have prepared a good plan, and Brighton Bank still controls so many large enterprises, and it is the core pillar of the Brighton consortium, so I don't know how much money Mr. Zhou Ming is ready to acquire Brighton Bank?"

Zhou Ming raised three fingers: "Three million dollars." ”

Wells widened his eyes and smiled without embarrassment: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think I must have heard it wrong, or did you say it wrong, how could it be three million dollars?"

Wells doubted his ears, but then Zhou Ming nodded and told him that it was three million dollars, so that he realized that he had heard correctly, but this belief also made him suddenly messy, so that he couldn't help but start to doubt his worldview, how could anyone want to use three million dollars to acquire Brighton Bank? Isn't this crazy?

"Mr. Zhou Ming is really joking, but unfortunately today is not April Fool's Day. Wells said.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wells, I'm not kidding, I do intend to buy Brighton Bank for three million dollars. Zhou Ming said, "Please hear clearly, Mr. Wells, I am not talking about acquisitions, but mergers and acquisitions, which is an act aimed at obtaining control of the target company and carrying out restructuring and transformation." In this way, the funds can be magnified by hundreds or even thousands of times through financial leverage......"

Zhou Ming looked at Wells and said: "I think Mr. Wells, as the chairman of the investment bank, must know my thoughts, so according to my ideas, three million dollars is enough to acquire Brighton Bank." ”

"I can't help but say, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really an idealist, I admit that there is indeed such a possibility as you said, but at the same time, this possibility is also very small, so small that it is basically negligible. I can admit that Mr. Zhou Ming, the return on M&A you mentioned will be very attractive, but this is not an investment, but a kind of speculation, incredible speculation!"

Wells paused here before continuing: "If Mr. Zhou Ming insists on three million dollars to acquire Brighton Bank, I can provide support, because I would love to see how you can do it, Mr. Zhou Ming!"

But Zhou Ming's next words made Wells furious, because Zhou Ming said: "I'm afraid I have to say sorry, because I have some conflicts with the Addams family, and I can't come forward in this matter, so I can only ask you from the company to come forward." ”

"What?" Wells jumped up in surprise, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Ming angrily, "You Chinese, are you playing me? You must be playing me! I tell you, you will implement the broken method you come up with yourself, because your method is very stupid, you will definitely be ridiculed, and I will never help you!"

Almost at the same time that Wells refused, Sun Wei, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, do you really think that you can succeed in the merger and acquisition for 3 million US dollars? If you insist, I am willing to help you!"

Hearing Sun Wei say this, Wells immediately turned his gun again: "Sun, what are you talking about? You know that this person is bullshit, and he is not your boss, you don't need to listen to him at all, and more importantly, if you go to Brighton Bank and say that you want to buy and acquire them for three million dollars, then you will definitely be regarded as crazy, you believe me!"

"Of course I believe in you, Mr. Wells, but I also believe in Mr. Zhou Ming even more. Sun Wei said, "Mr. Wells, you are the first time to meet Mr. Zhou Ming, so you definitely don't know him, you said that the $3 million acquisition of Brighton Bank would be a miracle, but I can tell you very responsibly, Mr. Zhou Ming is a man who is good at creating miracles!"

After Sun Wei finished speaking, he turned his head to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I have missed many moments to follow you to create miracles, but this time I don't want to miss it, so please let me follow you to create this miracle." ”

Zhou Ming replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, I welcome it very much." ”

"Crazy, you Chinese are all unreasonable madmen!" Wells said loudly.
