At about half past four in the afternoon, Tang An drove to San Francisco International Airport, but instead of waiting at the exit passage like other passengers, he went directly to a special reception room, which was specially designed for customers who picked up private jets. Of course, it is not that you say that you can come with a friend who picks up a private jet, you need to provide the specific information and take-off and landing times of the private jet, and you will only be allowed to enter after a successful comparison at the airport.

Tang An waited here for about half an hour, and the service staff at the airport came to inform him of the news that the plane he was waiting for had arrived, and Tang An immediately got up and followed the service staff into the airport by shuttle bus.

Then there was a loud roar of the plane's engines, and a small private jet landed on the runway of the airport, the cabin door opened, and a young man stepped out.

Seeing him, Tang An happily jumped off the ferry and waved at him and shouted, "Mr. Wood, I am here, and you are very welcome!"

While shouting, Tang An ran towards the passenger elevator car, but when he reached the opposite side, he was immediately stopped by two strong black bodyguards.

"Hey, my friend, it's not a good habit to run around. ”

The black bodyguard looked Tang An up and down, his eyes were full of vigilance, that kind of coldness made Tang An shudder a little, he could feel that these two bodyguards had absolutely killed people, and he was very sure that if he dared to move at will, they would be happy to break his neck. There was no way, Tang An had no choice but to focus on the young man behind the bodyguard.

"Mr. Wood, I'm Tang An, don't you know me? Tang An said to him.

Wood raised his eyelids and looked Tang An up and down a few times, and said indifferently: "It turned out to be Tang An, I think I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now, I thought it was the ground staff at the airport!"

There is no doubt that Wood's words are very provocative, but Tang An did not dare to make a mistake, but said with embarrassment: "Mr. Wood is really good at laughing, and the ground staff doesn't care about picking up the plane." ”

Wood shook his hand seriously and said, "I'm not joking, because Mr. Don'an, I have the impression that you should be a very confident person, not more like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy like now." ”

Tang An was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wood to say this so directly, which made him feel very humiliated, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Wood, you are right, I am indeed like a dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy, this is all caused by the guy named Zhou Ming, so I will ask Mr. Wood to avenge me, I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wood laughed and said, "Hey, Don, I'm just joking, why are you so serious?"

Tang An raised his head and looked at the other party with a confused expression, not understanding the meaning of this joke at all.

At this time, Wood stepped forward from behind the two bodyguards, hooked Tang An's shoulders and said, "Dear friend, I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to hurry to the lounge of the airport first, and then explain our affairs clearly." ”

Saying that, Wood took Tang An to the special lounge where Tang An stayed before, and Wood came in very unceremoniously and sat directly on the sofa and said to Tang An: "Now you can say, what happened here, you are in such a hurry to call me over, and you also said that you want to sell me the shares of Tang Bank in your hand, don't say that it's just because you have a nightmare." ”

Faced with this question, Tang An suddenly became angry: "Mr. Wood, that is a very bad memory, there is a guy named Zhou Ming, he wants to kick me out of the Tang Bank!"

Then Tang An told Wood how arrogant Zhou Ming was at the shareholders' meeting of the Tang Bank, and how he was thrown out of the building as an idle person: "This bastard, he is here to target me at all! I have never been humiliated like this, I am the master of the Tang Bank, and he has no power at all by relying on the miscellaneous women of women!"

Compared to Tang An's anger, Wood was still very calm, he tapped a finger on the table and asked, "So in other words, is this guy named Zhou Ming ruining our plan?"

Hearing Wood's question, Tang An nodded hurriedly: "That's right, it's him, he was the one who released Tang Yu from the FBI interrogation room, and now he wants to take away my Tang Bank, it's he who sabotaged all our plans, so we have to deal with him!"

Wood smiled meaningfully, "Are you serious, but why do I think I have to thank him? Because if it weren't for him, Mr. Tang'an, you wouldn't have thought of selling me your shares, would you?"

Tang An was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wood to be this idea, so Tang An could only grit his teeth and say: "I think Mr. Wood, it's better for you not to be so confident, it's true that I will sell shares, but that is under the premise that you can help me solve Zhou Ming's collapse of Tang Bank, without this premise, I would rather rot these shares in my hands than never sell!"

"Do you think you have a choice now?" Wood asked him rhetorically, "and don't you think your words are ridiculous and contradictory? If I hadn't helped you, wouldn't that Zhou Ming have tried to force you to sell to him? Judging from your current situation, you can't take any advantage from him, and if I really help you bring down the Bank, what do you think your shares are?"

Tang An was stunned again, he recalled what he had just said, as if he had indeed slapped himself in the face, which made him discouraged all of a sudden.

Wood said to him, "But I'm a very emotional person, and since I'm in San Francisco, I'll definitely help you with your problems." ”

Saying that, Wood took out a document and said to Tang An: "This is a Swiss bank account, which has prepared 60 billion US dollars for you, not too little, this is the result of our calculation based on the recent stock price changes of Tang Bank, if you want to blame the culprit, and then you only need to transfer all the shares in your hands to me." ”

Tang An took the document, he muttered 60 billion in his mouth, and suddenly slapped the document on the table hard, and he said viciously: "That's right, these are all Zhou Ming's problems, he moved my money, so I have to pay the price!"

In the end, Tang An made a decision: "Mr. Wood, don't give me this money first, or kill Zhou Ming's guy first, and the most important thing is to collapse the Tang Bank, or if you need to, you can also take the Tang Bank for yourself, although the collapsed Tang Bank will not be of such great value at that time, but please believe me, the investments and assets that the family has accumulated over the past hundred years are still very large." ”

Tang An's decision undoubtedly made Wood feel overjoyed, because he originally just wanted to deliberately scare this poor Chinese man, in order to reap greater benefits, but he didn't expect Tang An to give all the shares to himself, and even if he could bring down the Tang Bank, even the entire bank could be given to himself, which was really good news.

You must know that Tangren Bank is the financial core of the California consortium, and the fixed assets alone have reached tens of millions of dollars, even if Tangren Bank goes bankrupt, it is a huge wealth that can support the rise of the consortium.

Of course, Wood didn't think that he could really bring down the California consortium that had lasted for more than a hundred years, but even if it only caused him great turmoil, just lying on the consortium and sucking blood was an unimaginable wealth.

Thinking of this, Wood said to Tang An: "We are partners, originally according to my position, we should not ask for your wealth, and I am not the kind of person who takes advantage, but Tang An, you still have so many enterprises of yours that need to be saved, and Tang Man Bank is so huge, it needs a lot of financial support, and now Tang An You are still so gracious, so I can only reluctantly accept it." ”

Wood went around in a big circle, just to show that he didn't mean to take advantage, but was forced to accept it.

"Of course, wealth can only be used in the hands of the most suitable people, and I don't have the ability to make the best use of it, so I can only hope for you. Tang Ann said to Wood.

Wood laughed and said, "Don't worry, if you don't use the wealth you can't use, I will help you use it in place!"

In this way, Tang An and Wood made a very fucked up agreement in the special lounge at San Francisco Airport, but it must be said that Tang An's decision also mobilized Wood's enthusiasm to the greatest extent.

On the day Wood arrived in San Francisco, his 100-percent owned Centennial Investment Bank announced a very high-profile investment in Lombard and Hamilton Insurance Company.

At a press conference the next day, in front of reporters across the United States, Wood said: "These two companies have great potential, and it is only because they have been squeezed out by some speculative forces that they have caused business difficulties, which makes me sad, but in fact, as long as we can ensure a steady flow of funds, I believe they can create better results! So I persuaded my board of directors to finally make the decision to invest." ”

Beside Wood, Tang An also said cooperatively: "Centennial Investment Company is a strong investment company, Mr. Wood, as the chairman, is also very experienced in investment, and I feel that I have benefited a lot through the communication with Mr. Wood." Centennial's team of advisors will be based in Lombardy and Hamilton within a week, and I am confident that Mr. Wood's management and investment experience will bring further development to both companies, and I am very much looking forward to it." ”

"We have always been sure that the future Internet market is infinite, and we also need an Internet company that can confirm our ideas, so today's cooperation with Mr. Tang An is just the beginning, and we will rely on Lombard to further acquire and merge more Internet companies in the future." ”

Wood paused here and then continued: "I know that San Francisco relies on Silicon Valley, there are a lot of Internet high-tech companies are emerging, and Lombardy has always been at a disadvantage in the past, but that is all in the past, and now whether it is Yahoo or any other company, it will be eliminated in the constant competition, and in the end, the only thing left can only be my Lombard company, and I am very confident in this!"

Wood's strong words struck in everyone's hearts, making everyone startled, and they couldn't help but feel a pre-war rain coming to fill the building, and they were taking the initiative to start a war, a war against San Francisco's network technology and insurance companies.
