Chapter 387: Danger and Opportunity
In the Adams Manor in the White Mountain Forest north of Brighton, a young man was running in a hurry, knocking down many servants, and even breaking a blue and white porcelain vase from the Zhengde period, but no one dared to blame him, because he was Robert, the young master of the Adams Manor, and he went all the way to the room of Adams Patriarch Christo.

As Robert entered, Christo immediately frowned and reprimanded, "Robert, what about your manners and attitudes? When will you learn to be as elegant as a nobleman? and not as impolite as those slum garbage." ”
The butler and all the servants bowed their heads in the face of Christo's reprimand, but Robert only pouted disdainfully and said, "Mr. Christo, I don't think you should tell me all this nonsense, do you? ”
Christo sighed in his heart, he really wanted his son to inherit his mantle, so he took every opportunity to educate him, hoping that he could look like an Adams nobleman, but Robert was always so rebellious and disobedient or even disdainful.
Christo waved his hand to let everyone else out, leaving Robert alone, he looked at Robert with complicated eyes and asked, "Are you still haunted by what happened back then?"
When Robert heard this, he laughed: "What happened back then? Mr. Christo, you are so good at laughing, I have long forgotten it!"
Robert then said, "But dear sir, I don't think it's time to talk about this bullshit, right?
Hearing this, Christo sighed and said, 'Looks like you know, too'. Robert said proudly, "Of course, I'm also a member of the Addams family!"
"Judging by your expression, Mr. Christo, there is nothing wrong with my message. Robert added, "Then I'm curious, now that you know the news of that Zhou Ming's return, why do you still sit here and remain indifferent, instead of letting that guy disappear from Brighton forever?
Christo gestured for Robert to sit down: "I have no reason not to know the news that even you know, Zhou Ming was personally invited back by Edward of the Kendini family, after all, the three of them have no other way, they can only put their hopes on that Huaxia man and gamble one last time." I also understand that Zhou Ming's return will make the situation that has finally stabilized here more complicated, but it is not the time to do it. ”
Robert didn't understand why and Christo asked him rhetorically, "So what are you going to do?" Do you send a killer to kill him, or do you report him to the FBI and arrest him for espionage?"
"I think I understand, Mr. Christo, are you going to wait for him to do it before you figure it out?" Robert said, "I have to say, you really chose the most stupid choice! You know? Even a pig knows to avoid it next time after hitting a tree, but you don't know, it seems that Mr. Christo is me who overestimated your ability, you are not the opponent of the Chinese people at all, you have failed before, and you will lose even more in the future!"
Robert stood up as he spoke, "I don't want the Addams family to fall because my money is here, but I'm glad to see you defeated. ”
With this contradiction, Robert left the room, and behind him Christo was still sitting in his chair, his face gloomy to the point of horror.
......
On the other side, in the lounge of the Kendini Investment Bank building, Zhou Ming opened his eyes, he fell asleep after hanging up the phone in San Francisco, after all, the five-hour helicopter flight was still very tiring, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.
Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, which made Zhou Ming himself a little surprised, because it meant that he slept for a full seven hours, which seemed to be that he was too tired in Itley, and after Margaret was burned to death, Zhou Ming also knew that the Big Wood family was a family that would go to extremes, so he couldn't sleep too peacefully, and now that the matter over there was finally solved and returned to Brighton, as soon as his nerves relaxed, he slept for so long.
Zhou Ming got up from the bed, washed up and walked out of the room, and saw Edward, Chen Shuye Ning and Li Yang waiting in the living room, especially Edward, he saw Zhou Ming come out and first said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you have finally woken up, it seems that you have a feeling of home when you arrive in Brighton, right? It is also my invitation to Mr. Zhou Ming, you are too tired, this is my sin." ”
Compared with Edward's formula politeness, Chen Shuye Ning and Li Yang, the three students in the finance class, are really concerned about Zhou Ming's body.
Zhou Ming smiled and said to them: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, and I didn't expect me to sleep for so long." ”
Zhou Ming said and sat on the sofa in the living room: "You are all here, don't someone deliberately don't want me to have a good rest, so I came back to Brighton, and the Addams family gave me some problems." ”
Edward felt a little embarrassed at this time: "Mr. Zhou Ming, it's not that there is any movement on the Adams family's side, it's just that we are purely concerned about your physical condition. ”
Zhou Ming glanced at Edward: "Mr. Governor, I think there are some things that we should not see each other too much, since you, the governor, actually left Brighton and went to Eitley, and now you are here waiting for me to wake up, it must be that the situation here is very tricky, right?"
This made Edward feel even more embarrassed, and he said to Zhou Ming: "In fact, the whole situation in Brighton is not very tricky, after all, on the litigation side, it is normal for this kind of case to drag on for two or three years, especially this kind of economic dispute, but any lawyer who can pass the test can continue to drag the case indefinitely at any time on the grounds of adding new evidence, and it doesn't matter whether the scene is good or bad for the time being." ”
"It's also the same in the CDS market as well. Edward continued, "Actually, the most problematic thing right now is the situation of our Kendini family, which is why I went to Eitley to find you. ”
Zhou Ming can also think of Edward's words, after all, according to his previous arrangement, the situation in Brighton has reached the final stage, and later, although the strong entry of the Rockefeller family forcibly continued Adams, but with the outbreak of the Gulf War, he also cheated them on military spending, plus the later oil-for-food plan.
Although it is impossible to hit these two families hard with his actions one after another, it is still no problem to at least drag the attention of the Rockefeller family.
With the current situation in Brighton, as long as the pressure on the Rockefeller family disappears, then there will be no problem.
"What happened to the Kendini family? Zhou Ming said to Edward.
Edward was initially worried about Chen Shu and the three finance class students staying here, but now it was no longer the time for Zhou Ming to ask Edward for help, and he basically had no choice, so he had to tell them about the situation encountered by the Kendini family in front of them.
In fact, the whole thing is not complicated, it is just that the Kendini family is targeted by Adams.
The first is the Kendini Investment Bank, originally the Kendini family assessed and invested in a financial project, the investment value reached tens of billions, originally according to the Kendini family's assessment, the risk of this project is very low, but the Adams family holding rating agency directly lowered the credit rating of the company responsible for the project, which suddenly caused a shock in the stock market.
"Due to the downgrading of the credit rating, which directly led to the failure of this financial project, the family not only faced tens of billions of direct losses, but more importantly, this is a major blow to the strategic decision of the investment bank, which will trigger a series of impacts, and eventually make the investment bank in trouble, if unlucky, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover for several years. ”
Edward continued: "In addition to this, the rest of the family's businesses have also been hit hard, our food company has been investigated for health and prevention, and the shares of the insurance company and the Bell Aircraft Company Phoenix are in danger of being divided. ”
Edward said and sighed: "The most important thing is that Adams is now only targeting our Kendini family, Lawrence and Lowell and the two of them took the initiative to withdraw because they were afraid of getting angry, at least in terms of litigation, their legal team has already left." ”
"This is normal, and it is also the purpose of the Addams family, they know very well that investment banking is the core of your family, and it is also where most of your funds are, as long as you are given a major blow here, you can lose a lot, and at this time, they will threaten the two families of Lawrence and Lowell through this matter, and they will naturally withdraw for the sake of their own family. Zhou Ming analyzed.
After hearing this, Edward nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right, now don't talk about the two major families, even the Kendini family is arguing within the family." ”
"This is also normal, after all, after all, you and Adams belong to the same consortium, so to speak, your own people, so now when you are frustrated on the way to rebel against Adams, it is normal to think of going back and begging them to let you go. Zhou Ming then changed the subject, "It's just that I think you seem to be a little too narrow-minded, you only see the danger, but you don't see the opportunity." ”
If so, I'm sorry, we don't believe in the philosophical word, we only believe in the facts. Edward reminded Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming shook his head and asked him: "But what I said is the truth, Mr. Governor, I want to ask how strong the Addams family was in the past, and can you deal with your three major families at the same time, Kendini, Lawrence, and Lowell? If so, then why is he picking Kendini now to force the other two to retreat?"
Only then did Edward suddenly realize: "Mr. Zhou Ming, are you saying that the Adams family's own situation is not good now, is this what they deliberately show to scare us?"
"I don't know, but it's very possible. Zhou Ming said.
