Chapter 380: Grab the Cake
In the afternoon, the entire Big Wood Manor was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, at this moment Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin got in the car and left the manor together, and the Arctic wolf mercenaries also left together because of the end of the mission, completely with a victorious attitude, and behind them, George, the patriarch of the Big Wood family, was lying on the table with his head in his hands, obviously a complete loser. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
With the departure of Zhou Ming, Zhang Lin and the Arctic Wolf Mercenary Group, George's son Wood got up from the ground, the expression on his face was painful, and he didn't know if it was because he was beaten by Zhou Ming before, or because of the depression in his heart.
Wood walked up to George step by step and asked him, "Why did you promise that Zhou Ming? Do you know that once you agree to him, our Big Wood family will be completely finished, and will become his slave and can only obey him?"
George didn't speak, Wood continued: "Mr. George, as the head of the Great Wood family, the first thing you need to think about must be to protect the interests of the family, you exist for the family, this is what you have always taught me, but now, you have betrayed your oath, you have betrayed the family in exchange for your own interests, you have no qualifications to be surnamed Wood, you bastard!"
Almost at the moment when Wood's last words fell, George stood up and slapped Wood in the face, glaring at him and scolding, "You idiot! Do you still have the face to accuse me here? If it weren't for your failure in San Francisco, if it weren't for your failure to bring down the Don family, and you lost us $80 billion in funds, how would we have ended up here? So you are the shame of the Big Wood family!"
"Now I can forgive you if you sincerely repent, but you look like a street bastard now, I will never forgive you!"
George yelled at Wood, who sat motionless on the ground as if he had been beaten dumbfounded.
George took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to do this at all, but what can I do if I don't do this? Big Wood Bank is in a desperate situation, and without other financial support, there is only one way to go bankrupt." Beyond Itley, however, there are so many cunning and vicious wolves eyeing us, and they are all waiting for us to fall, because then they can pounce on us and eat our flesh and drink our blood. ”
At the end, George looked up at the sky: "The Great Wood family and Itley are coming to an end, but I don't want to bury this family, but to have a new life!"
……
On the other side, Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin returned to Mayor Martin's villa, and the group of Arctic wolf mercenaries separated on the way, after all, they still had their affairs, and Zhou Ming didn't plan to invite these lawless guys, of course, in view of their help today, Zhou Ming made some compensation for their mission.
When Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin pushed the door open and walked into the room, they saw a black man sitting silently on the sofa in the living room, he was none other than Martin, the owner of this villa.
Zhou Ming glanced at him and asked, "Mayor Martin is waiting for me here, is there anything wrong?"
Martin smiled coldly and showed his teeth: "Mr. Zhou Ming seems to be in a very good mood recently, and he dares to go out and walk around so casually?"
Zhou Ming spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I don't remember that I was placed under house arrest in the villa by you." ”
Martin leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Zhou Ming, trying to create pressure on him: "Mr. Zhou Ming, now is not a good time to joke, because I just received a call saying that you went to Big Wood Manor, right?"
Zhou Ming smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, I did just come back from there, and just now I sat down face-to-face with Mr. George, the patriarch of the Great Wood family, so does Mr. Martin think that I have betrayed you and want to join forces with the Great Wood family?"
Martin was stunned by Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, because he didn't expect Zhou Ming to admit it so simply.
Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly when he saw Martin like this: "I thought that there would be more trust between us, it seems that I thought too much, and I also know that Mayor Martin does not have the habit of paying attention to current affairs, or Mayor Martin, your usual news is given to you by others, so you don't know." ”
Martin suddenly frowned: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Ming sighed and said to him: "Mayor Martin, if I were you, I wouldn't ask now, but immediately go to watch TV." ”
Martin suddenly realized, and then he immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the living room, directly tuned to the Wall Street financial channel, and immediately saw the news that Zhou Ming wanted him to see: Britain gave up maintaining the pound exchange rate and announced its withdrawal from the European exchange rate system.
Seeing this news, Martin's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Zhou Ming with an incredulous face and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, you really defeated the Bank of England and defeated the pound?"
"Actually, it's more to say that it's more to Mr. Joros and his Quantum Fund, and it's he who really beat the Bank of England, and I don't have time to grab it. Zhou Ming then asked, "I think what does this mean, Mayor Martin should understand, right?"
Martin nodded busily, as an insider, how could he not understand? Since Big Wood Bank was in a financial predicament, it was a British bank that promised him a loan, and this kind of loan is understood to be settled in US dollars, so once the pound depreciates, it means that the bank has to come up with more money to pay the loan, which is very unfavorable to the bank, so the bank is very likely to break the contract in order to avoid losses.
Originally, Big Wood Bank was aiming for this loan from the United Kingdom to continue its life, and now once this loan is lost, then Big Wood Bank will go bankrupt faster than before.
And as the core of the Big Wood family, once the Big Wood Bank falls, then the Big Wood family will also fall apart.
Thinking that the Great Wood family, the royal family of Eitley, was about to fall, Martin was very excited, but Zhou Ming said at this time: "Mayor Martin, I think your excitement is too early now, don't you think it's a strange thing that you don't know such important news?"
Martin gasped at the question, and felt a chill sink in his bones.
"Damn! these guys are going to steal profits!" Martin exclaimed, and he jerked to his feet and left the living room.
"People die for money, birds die for food, I'm afraid it's Martin and those consortia that I'm talking about. ”
Zhou Ming said this, and then went upstairs to go back to his room, Zhou Ming opened his mobile phone and dialed San Francisco, the phone was immediately connected, Tang Ran couldn't help but be happy through the phone: "Brother Ming, I have seen the news, I saw the depreciation of the pound and Britain is going to withdraw from the European exchange rate system, Brother Ming, you really did it, you defeated the Bank of England!"
Lin Muqing also said: "Zhou Ming, you have once again created an incredible miracle, no one can stand in front of you, I believe that you will realize your dream and become a business tycoon in this world, I am very glad that I can meet you on the TV station of Factory 760!"
is a reborn business tycoon.
Zhou Ming silently corrected in his heart, Zhou Ming didn't expect that Sister Mu Qing, who had always been steady and delicate, couldn't suppress her excitement at this time. But it's no wonder, after all, he defeated the Bank of England with Joros and his Quantum Fund, and it was the first time that he proved to the world that a brilliant investment businessman with enough money can plunder a country, even a financial power like the United Kingdom.
In the past, financial investment was not without foreign speculation, or financial warfare between countries, but in the final analysis, it was only aimed at certain companies or industries in a certain country, or the all-round suppression of the former Soviet Union by using the political, military, and international situation was not a real financial war.
But now, with the fall of the pound, it is possible to announce to the whole world that sufficiently strong capital is the victory over a country.
Using the capital in his hands to control and attack a country is what every capitalist dreams of the most, and Zhou Ming has done it now, how can this not make Lin Muqing and Tang Ran feel excited?
"Sister Mu Qingran, I am also very glad to meet you, because you are also the greatest contributor to the victory of this battle. ”
Zhou Ming said to them with a smile, and then exhaled a breath and said seriously: "The Big Wood family is no longer saved, but I just came back from Big Wood Manor, and I promised to buy 35% of the shares of Big Wood Bank, all of which have voting rights. ”
"Zhou Ming, do you want the Great Wood Family to obey our orders?" Lin Muqing asked.
"It's very difficult, we don't have to do it at all, in fact, for us, as long as they don't mess with us, it's the best outcome, isn't it?" Zhou Ming said, "I'm just doing this just to be on the safe side, as long as George and Wood listen to us." ”
Zhou Ming is very confident in saying this, because the figure of 35% of the shares is very delicate, according to the company regulations of Big Wood Bank, any resolution must be supported by more than 66%, but George, as the patriarch, did not own so many shares, let alone sell them to Zhou Ming.
However, it should be noted here that 66% of the votes are required to pass, which means that as long as you have more than 34% of the shares, you can veto all resolutions.
To put it simply, Zhou Ming can't let the resolutions he needs pass, but he can veto all the resolutions he doesn't want to see, through this method, no matter how the Big Wood family changes its equity, as long as Zhou Ming's 35% stake remains unchanged, then his right to speak in Big Wood Bank is supreme.
In this way, Zhou Ming grabbed the Big Wood Bank in his hands, and George and Wood had no financial support, so they couldn't do anything wrong.
"What about Martin? Zhou Ming, you secretly went to find George and asked for the shares of Big Wood Bank, won't he have an opinion?" Lin Muqing asked.
"He doesn't have time to worry about me now, after all, he has a lot of troubles, and he has to be busy grabbing cakes with other consortium families. ”
Zhou Ming replied to Lin Muqing, in fact, from the beginning, Zhou Ming didn't think that Martin only represented the interests of himself and the black community, after all, he could grasp his situation so clearly, and dare to go against the Big Wood family so blatantly, and he could also be in the position of mayor of Eitley, if he didn't join forces with other consortium families behind his back, Zhou Ming didn't believe it.
But now that the news of the pound is out, Martin still doesn't know anything, and it is obvious that the consortium families have abandoned him to rob themselves of the fallen interests of the Big Wood family.
Of course, Martin didn't want to be left behind at this time, so he could only desperately grab the cake, how could he have any time to take care of Zhou Ming? And this was also an important reason why Martin left immediately after hearing Zhou Ming's words, in addition, ...... Aren't the three major car families also moving?
"But no matter how they grab the cake, it's not as fast as Brother Ming's hand!" Tang Ran said with a smile.
"Of course, if I can't get the moon first, then I'm too sorry for myself. Zhou Ming said.
