"Mr. Tiger, as you expected, just now Zhou Ming came to me and asked about the Brighton Consortium, I told him the main composition of the Brighton Consortium, and he also expressed his willingness to make trouble for the Brighton Consortium, which surprised me, because normal people will not do this, especially when his career has just started and has a small achievement, many people will choose to develop steadily to protect themselves, after all, it is not easy to start from scratch, no one wants to go through the entrepreneurial process repeatedly, it is not a good dream。 ”

In the president's office in the Chinabank Building, Hoover stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office looking out at the Charles River not far away, holding a phone in his hand, and he was the only one in his office at this moment.

"That's right, it seems that as you said, Mr. Tiger, Zhou Ming is a young man, so he will have the momentum of a young man. Hoover hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But he also has a lot of shortcomings, because before leaving, he specifically asked me about Brooke's relationship with the Brighton consortium, and I think he is still too obsessed with his hatred to really give us a lead." ”

Of course, I also understand that people like him will not really be willing to use us, but at least he can't be so obsessed with his own personal grudges, right? This approach is too unambitious, not a long-term investment object, my suggestion is to look at his approach first. ”

Hoover paused for a moment after speaking, and after listening carefully to the answer from there, he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tiger, I know my identity and positioning, and I will do everything I can, although the next thing will not be so pleasant." ”

Hoover didn't hang up the phone when he ended the call, but he glanced at the time first, and then dialed the extension number of the secretary at the door: "I'm over here, you clean up the customers at the door, let them leave first if you can, tell them that the deposit will be fine, and we will have important customers here soon." ”

……

At the same time, Zhou Ming had already gone to the underground parking lot with his bodyguard Zhang Lin and got into his Buick car.

"Zhang Lin, do you think that I just promised Hoover to help them deal with the Brighton consortium, which is a bit used as a gun by them?" Zhou Ming suddenly turned his head and asked.

Zhang Lin didn't show surprise at this sudden question, on the one hand, his psychological quality was super strong, and there was nothing that surprised him, and on the other hand, Zhou Ming often chatted with him when he was fine, although there was a task relationship between them, but for the two of them, there was more of a feeling in it, so Zhang Lin was also used to it.

"On the surface, there is a little bit of it, but judging from the situation, you have no other choice, after all, you have now formed a mortal enmity with the Brooke family, and the Brooke family is a member of the Brighton consortium, and now the Brighton consortium has not made a move, maybe it is unnecessary or maybe it is some other reason, but no one can guarantee that it will not be encountered in the future. ”

Zhang Lin analyzed little by little and said: "Zhou Ming, you are a newcomer here in Brighton, it is impossible to fight against the Brighton consortium alone under the premise of no information and no conditions, you must look for an alliance, and now that someone has thrown an olive branch, then it is understandable for you to take advantage of the situation." Whatever their purpose, they can at least be assured that they will have someone to help them when they encounter the Brighton consortium head-on in the future. ”

"I didn't expect you to be able to analyze so many truths from such a little thing, but I didn't think as much as you. Zhou Ming said, "I was just thinking, I came to the United States to make a career, but it turned out that I didn't know the situation in the United States, and I didn't know the composition of which consortium, even if I wanted to fight with which consortium, I couldn't find an opponent, let alone the point, and now that someone can show me the way, of course I have to seize this opportunity." ”

Zhou Ming's words made Zhang Lin dumbfounded, and after a while, Zhang Lin said to Zhou Ming with a wry smile: "The prince will Xiangning have a kind, it seems that I am still too conservative, I just want to find allies to fight against the Brighton consortium together, but you have thought of how to kill the Brighton consortium or replace it in the future." ”

Zhou Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Lin, in fact, I may not be as ambitious as you think, and I don't plan to be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but I vaguely feel that the situation on the US side is not as stable as imagined, at least between these American consortia fighting each other, maybe I can also do something." ”

After some conversation, Zhang Lin started the car and took Zhou Ming back to the dormitory, but sometimes things are so coincidental, when Zhou Ming's car left the door of the building, another car drove over from the other side, which happened to be staggered with Zhou Ming's car, and Old Brooke was sitting in another car, and at the same time in the car with him, there was also his lawyer Sapiro.

Brooke Sr. also arrived at the Chinabank building, got out of the car and went straight to Hoover's office.

When Old Brooke arrived at Hoover's office, he happened to see Miss Secretary trying to persuade other customers, and Old Brooke said playfully: "Why is Mr. Hoover's office so messy, is Chinabank going bankrupt?"

The words were amazing, and the words of Old Brooke immediately attracted all the attention, and as a senior senator from Massachusetts, Old Brook was immediately recognized.

"Brooke, what happened today is what you did behind your back, right?" someone accused Brooke Sr.

Old Brooke smiled at this: "I am very happy that you can say this, it means that my influence has risen one step further. But little man, I advise you to be mindful of your words, and preferably add honorifics in front of Brooke, for it is up to me whether or not you can get your deposits before the bankruptcy of the Don Bank. ”

Before everyone had time to be surprised, the secretary stepped forward and said, "Hello Mr. Brooke, Mr. Hoover is waiting for you, please come with me." ”

Hearing the invitation of the secretary, Old Brooke beckoned to the others: "Gentlemen, I am very glad to see you here, and I understand what kind of idiots are waiting to be saved, goodbye." ”

Old Brooke finished speaking very arrogantly and then walked into Hoover's office, the people outside were very angry, but they were helpless against Old Brooke, first of all, not to mention the identity of Old Brooke's senior senator, they couldn't afford to provoke the Adams family behind it, just say that Old Brooke may indeed come to inject capital into the Donkey Bank today, I'm afraid it is indeed here to save them.

Hoover was still hanging on the drip, and Old Brook couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this: "Mr. Hoover is a big general of the China Bank, why is it like this now?"

"No way, this is what the situation forces you to do!" Hoover replied helplessly, "But Mr. Brooke, I don't think you came to laugh at me today, did you?"

"Of course, I'm not that bored. ”

Old Brooke sat down in front of Hoover as he spoke, and he continued, "Alright, we can now get down to business, and I wonder what Mr. Hoover thinks about my previous proposal?"

Regarding this question, Hoover said with a difficult face: "Mr. Brooke, I have already communicated with the headquarters about your price, and it is difficult for the headquarters to accept it, so I hope that Mr. Brooke can add more, as long as I can convince the headquarters, then we can sign the contract immediately." ”

"Is that so?" said Old Brooke, "but Mr. Hoover, you have to understand that you are not selling this Chinatown Bank building, but you are only transferring the lease rights of some of the floors, which are the least valuable part of the bank building, and with all due respect, these floors are useless in your own hands, if not sold to me, in the present economic situation of the Don Man Bank?"

"I don't deny that," said Hoover, "but Mr. Brooke, the price you offer is unacceptable, and you know that I am only the branch president of the China Bank, and it is the headquarters that can really make the decision." So since you really want these floors, Mr. Brooke, and I do need to sell them, why don't you take a step back? It's just a waste of each other's time, isn't it?"

Brooke Sr. raised an eyebrow, and then began to count Hoover's resume: "Mr. Hoover, graduated from USC in '59, and then worked in Tang Bank, from the most basic bank manager to the current position of branch president in Brighton in 21 years. ”

In the face of Old Brooke's eloquence, Hoover didn't say a word, he just looked at the other party quietly, waiting for the other party to throw out his true purpose.

Old Brooke did not disappoint Hoover, he counted Hoover's resume and said: "So Mr. Hoover is also a smart person, right, then I don't think there is any need to play any clever between us, for example, Mr. Hoover just mentioned the headquarters, if I am not mistaken, the Chinabank should have handed over the decision of the matter to Mr. Hoover, am I right?"

Hoover still didn't say a word, and Old Brooke continued: "Now that the funds of the Donkey Bank are in an unprecedented crisis, the stocks are desperately being sold, and there are still so many people waiting outside to withdraw money, and many floors of the bank building are simply used as decorations, if I give up today, then they will lose their value, so Mr. Hoover, will you still insist on your choice?"

Old Brooke leaned back in his chair and looked at Hoover with confidence.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, and when Old Brooke became impatient and ready to leave, Hoover was finally defeated: "Mr. Brooke, I agree with your price." ”

Old Brooke sneered disdainfully, "I'm sorry Mr. Hoover, if you nodded a minute ago, then I would have agreed, but unfortunately I'm running out of patience now, unless you're willing to give me another ten percent of the profit." ”

"You're a robbery!" Hoover said angrily.

"Mr. Hoover, don't blame me for not reminding you, my patience is very poor right now, and you need to make a decision as soon as possible. Old Brooke said.

Hoover took a deep breath, then nodded quickly, "Okay, I agree." ”

Brooke Sr. laughed and said, "This is really good news, but it's a pity that if Mr. Hoover had agreed earlier, it would have been the best of both worlds." ”

Hoover didn't pay attention to the teasing of old Brooke, he just took out the three-point contract and said, "Mr. Brooke, now that your lawyer is here, let's sign the contract first." ”

"What a hot guy. Old Brooke took the contract to his lawyer, Sapiro, and then asked him, "Mr. Hoover, take the liberty of asking, did Zhou Ming come to you after the accident at the Chinabank accident?"

"It seems that Mr. Brooke is still very concerned about Zhou Ming, I don't understand why you are asking this question. Hoover said.

"I did care about the little guy so much that I wanted to throw him into the Charles River all the time to feed the fish. "But now, if he hasn't come to you yet, I just want you to tell him to get a little more blood pressure medicine, because I've got a very good show for him, but it's not so kind to him." ”
