A white private helicopter with the Adams family logo slowly landed on the roof of the Brighton Bank Building, and Christo, bending over, holding his hat and clothes in both hands, stepped out of the helicopter against the strong wind of the helicopter and followed the building management to the bank's rooftop conference room.

When Christo pushed open the door to the conference room, there were already three other people seated, they were Edward, Lawrence, and Louis, and Christo stepped forward and sat down in his place. He looked at the three people in front of him, and said directly without nonsense: "I came to you today because of a loan problem from Brighton Bank, and I hope to give me a satisfactory answer from your mouth!"

As he spoke, Christo motioned to his secretary to distribute the documents to the other three and said, "This is the document I received yesterday about the company's business, saying that yesterday, there was a Chinese named Zhou Ming, who came to handle the loan business for the Wharton Insurance Company, and he wanted to use the 3,000 properties owned by the company as collateral, and then take out a loan of 700 million US dollars." ”

Christo paused at this point, and he glanced around at Edward Lawrence and Louis before saying, "I know that all three of you have alliances with that Chinese, but I hope you all don't forget that you are the patriarchs of the three major families of Kendini Lawrence and Lowell, and then you are partners with that Chinese." ”

Christo added: "And the three families of Kendini Lawrence and Lowell are also important pillars of the Brighton consortium, and the behavior of the Chinese who you helped is a betrayal of the consortium and your ancestors, if you continue to be obsessed, it is difficult for me to guarantee what I will do, do you understand?"

In the face of Christo's aggressiveness one after another, Edward said: "Of course we can understand, but now that the money has been handed over to Zhou Ming, are you going to recover it through the banking system, Mr. Christo?"

"I'd be happy to do it if I could, but I'm here today to remind you through this matter, to tell you what to do when this kind of thing happens, and one last thing, I don't understand why Zhou Ming has to take out another loan after $700 million, and it's also $700 million?" Christo looked at the two completely different documents in his hand and asked very strangely.

According to the Chinese's explanation, he was trying to solve the debt problem of Brooke Investment, and through this $1.4 billion loan, he was able to completely eliminate Brooke Investment's debt. Louis replied.

"But as far as I know, the ownership of the last 3,000 properties mortgaged by the Chinese is still in the hands of Brooke Investment, so why can that Chinese apply for a loan in the name of Wharton Insurance Company?

Faced with Christo's question, Edward Lawrence and Louis both laughed, and finally Edward said to Christo: "It seems that you don't know that Zhou Ming has bought the ownership of the last 3,000 properties of Brooke Investment Company." ”

Christo was stunned for a moment, because he really didn't know the news, and it seemed that Brooke guy had also betrayed himself.

But what made Christo even more chilling was that the three of Edward Lawrence and Louis knew the news, but only he didn't know it, and the meaning behind this made him dignified.

Christo took a deep breath, and finally waved his hand, deciding not to talk about this issue for the time being, he then asked Edward Lawrence and Louis: "Actually, the news you said is not important, the important thing is that you still agree to give Zhou Ming a loan this time? Like the first time, on the premise that you know that his mortgage assets are not worth 700 million." ”

Edward Lawrence and Louis all nodded yes, as Christo just said, the first loan to Zhou Ming was as much as 700 million principal, originally at the Bank of Brighton, the account manager would never dare to be the master, and he even took the initiative to call Christo's phone to report to him. But at that time, before the manager came back and refused Zhou Ming, Edward and the others first disbursed Zhou Ming's loan through themselves.

Christo almost didn't smash his desk when he knew the news, but Christo was still very calm, he knew that it wouldn't help, and after he learned that Zhou Ming had another loan, he finally couldn't sit still and asked the three of them for a meeting.

Christo sneered, his gaze swept back and forth over Edward Lawrence and Louis and finally asked, "Do you think that you are also a director of Brighton Bank, you can argue with me at will, and you can lend money regardless of my opinion?"

"I think Mr. Christo maybe you misunderstood, we didn't mean that, we just ......"

Edward wanted to explain something, but before he could finish speaking, Christo overshadowed him and continued: "But don't forget, our Adams family is the leader of Brighton Bank, and I know that after all these years, you may have forgotten this, so I can convene a meeting of all the directors of Brighton Bank to give you a good time." ”

Christo's words suddenly became stern: "But I think you must also know the consequences of this board meeting, as long as you can bear it." ”

These words made Edward Lawrence and Louis shudder a little, as the core family of the Brighton consortium, they certainly understood the meaning behind the so-called meeting of the board of directors of Brighton Bank.

According to the anti-monopoly law of the United States, all corporate groups in the United States can not form too large a monopoly trend, so too large corporate consortiums will be artificially dismantled, as the oldest consortium in the United States, the Brighton consortium certainly understands this, so Brighton Bank is certainly the center of the consortium, but the funds are indeed scattered and hidden in the hands of many other shareholders, so the assets on the table are not much.

And these shareholder directors, because they are members of various families, can control a lot of wealth, usually appear as the CEO of each company, but once someone brings these people together, it is the real Brighton consortium.

I still remember that the last time the board meeting of Brighton Bank was held was 28 years ago, it was triggered by the assassination of President Kendini, when the conflict between the two families of Adams and Kendini had reached the point of separation, and finally the patriarch of the Addams family initiated the board meeting.

It was at this board meeting that the Addams family once again established its dominance in the consortium, and Kendini was still ranked second, but lost his past influence within the consortium, and last and most importantly, as the hardcore allies of the Kendini family, the Balbo family was also invited out of the consortium and reduced to running a motel to live.

The reason for this is simply that the Adams family has absolute control over the entire consortium, and the best choice for the other directors is to be the first to do so.

In such a situation, the outcome of the meeting was naturally what the Addams family wanted.

Perhaps one day Kendini Lawrence and the Lowell family will not be afraid of the board meeting of the Brighton Bank, and even have the ability to oppose the Adams family at the board meeting, but not now.

At such a thought, Edward Lawrence and Louis all shook their heads in unison.

Seeing this, Christo smiled, because this was the result he wanted, so he finally said: "I think you all have no opinion now, then the loan to that Chinese must be vetoed, and the Chinese's account in Brighton Bank must also be investigated, if his loan has not been spent, it will be frozen immediately!"

Hearing Christo say this, Edward looked up at him and said, "Sir, I would not have done this if I were you, because it would have made us look too cautious." ”

"I don't think so. Christo said that he didn't see the drama in Edward's eyes, or he didn't care if he saw it, he just wanted to get back his lost face from Zhou Ming, "I just think this is called simple targeting, so that the Chinese understands that there are some things that he can't touch in his life." ”

Christo paused when he said this, he looked at Edward Lawrence and Louis in front of him, and continued: "The four families of Adam Kendini Lawrence and Lowell are alliances that have been united by mutual marriage and trust for hundreds of years, and the four of us were also very good friends thirty years ago, so I don't want to ruin the rare friendship between us because of a Chinese." ”

After Christo finished speaking, he left, leaving Edward Lawrence and Louis in the conference room, Louis smiled: "It seems that Christo was also so angry with Zhou Ming that he was going crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have moved out of the board meeting so simply to scare us." ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "This is also no way, since the last board meeting, Christo has been the patriarch of the Addams family for thirty years, which means that he has not suffered such anger for thirty years, and now the Chinese actually forced him to give up Brooke Investment, and the worst is the loan from Brighton Bank." In other words, he took money from his pocket, and then forced him to lower his head, how could he bear this anger?"

"And he really thinks of himself as the emperor of the Brighton consortium, and he actually talks about friendship and trust with us, or after threatening us, is it because our IQ is not enough? Eat his stick and carrots?" Lawrence said with a sneer.

Edward waved his hand: "Actually, I don't think these are the most important, now that Christo's every step of his thoughts is in the calculation of that Chinese Zhou Ming, it seems that the time to pull the Addams family from the throne is getting closer and closer." ”
