Chapter Forty-Six: The End of the Common Thought

"Today, although we have completed the inventory of Wharton, and all Wharton's linked accounts have been frozen, we will still closely monitor the flow of all Wharton's assets, and now you can go back to your office. ”

These were the last words Lincoln, the legal officer of the Massachusetts Department of Justice's Financial Supervision Division, left.

Zhou Ming took Julie back to the office, it was already a mess, as if it had been ransacked, Julie and the others all shed sad tears, and Zhou Ming sighed helplessly: "These bastards actually made a mess here, about this matter, I will definitely sue them directly to the Massachusetts court, and I will not let them go easily!"

Zhou Ming said as he picked up the documents from the ground one by one, and then sorted them out and put them on the table.

Julie and the others were stunned, not understanding what Zhou Ming was going to do at all, then Zhou Ming turned around and asked them: "I don't have much time in the company, I don't know how these documents were originally placed, I think you work here every day, you will definitely know better than me, right?"

After hearing this, Julie reacted: "Mr. Zhou Ming, please rest assured, of course we know, so leave it to us." ”

Julie said as she took the document from Zhou Ming's hand, and then picked up a folder from the ground and put it away.

With Zhou Ming and Julie taking the lead, everyone else reacted ignorantly one by one, and came over to help pick up the documents on the ground, at this time Zhou Ming said to them: "I'm very sorry, I should have asked someone to do this kind of thing, but these are not garbage after all, so I have to trouble you to pick them up one by one, and sort them away." ”

As soon as Zhou Ming's words were finished, Julie took over his words and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope your next words are not to give us a salary increase, I don't know what they think, but I am definitely unhappy, because I said that I love this company very much, and I don't want to increase any burden on the company when the company is in the most crisis." ”

Julie set a good example, and other executives also said: "Mr. Chairman, we also love this company very much, and we are willing to share weal and sound with the company!"

In the face of their statements, Zhou Ming could only say: "Since you all said so, then I can only say thank you to you, but you can rest assured, as long as the company can pass this hurdle, this year's bonus will definitely be very generous!"

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Julie and the others still burst out into the warmest cheers, and then they cleaned up the company together, and this work lasted directly from day to dark, and it was not until half past seven in the evening that the entire company was restored to its original state.

Everyone sat on the chair tired, Zhou Ming asked Zhang Lin to go down and buy a few bottles of water to share with everyone, after a while, Zhou Ming glanced at the time and said to everyone: "Thank you very much for being busy until so late today, in order to show my own gratitude to everyone, if you don't mind, I think I can invite you to dinner, you can pick any place and order whatever you want to eat." ”

Before everyone could express their gratitude to Zhou Ming, they heard the mobile phone on his waist ring, Zhou Ming picked it up and connected it, it was Hoover, the president of the Brighton branch of Tang Bank, who called.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I just heard a very unfortunate news, the Bureau of Justice has frozen all the assets of your company, and today Old Brooke's company also has a collective food poisoning phenomenon, which requires your insurance company to make a claim, I think these two news are a very serious blow to you, I think I can help you. Hoover said to Zhou Ming, obviously he and Zhou Ming are familiar with each other, and they are not polite when they come up, so they get straight to the point.

However, Zhou Ming was very curious: "First of all, I am very grateful to Mr. Hoover for his kindness, but I am very strange, has the problem of funds of Tangren Bank been solved?"

"No," said Hoover, "but I don't think there's any conflict between that and helping you, Mr. Zhou Ming, because it's Mr. Tiger who can really help you." ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "I see, but I'm still curious, what are Mr. Tiger's conditions?"

"He needs to take a stake in Wharton, at least 51 percent of the equity, and of course Mr. Tiger will be willing to pay you more, definitely more than the value of the equity he wants to buy. Hoover said.

"But I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to sell my shares yet, and even if I want to sell in the future, I won't sell more than half of my shares. Zhou Ming said.

"I can understand Zhou Ming's feelings, after all, Wharton Insurance Company was brought up by you, and it is indeed difficult to accept it when you suddenly want to sell it to others, but Mr. Zhou Ming, in fact, from another point of view, this is also a very good opportunity for Wharton Insurance Company and its own development, which can be upgraded to a great level, and this is a normal financing channel abroad, which is worth trying. Hoover continued.

Zhou Ming smiled: "If I can, I would be willing to buy more than half of the equity of Tangren Bank, President Hu, don't be surprised, please believe that I have this ability." If you can't convince your boss, I don't think you should persuade me anymore. ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming hung up the phone, and when he saw Julie, they all looked at him fixedly, knowing that they had heard what he had said to Hoover just now, so Zhou Ming said to them: "Someone wanted to pay for the equity of our company, but I refused, because I could bring the company out of the predicament." ”

Julie and the others cheered again, and then when Zhou Ming got up and was about to go out with them, he happened to find that someone had come to the company, and there were still two familiar faces to Zhou Ming: Danny, the president of the student union at Harvard University, and his father, Danny Pol.

Zhou Ming couldn't figure out the situation, so he asked Julie and the others to go to the place to order food first, and then he arrived, and after Julie and the others left, Zhou Ming took Danny and his son back to the company to sit down.

Like Hoover, Danny and his son were also very straightforward, and when he sat down, Danny said: "Zhou Ming, we already know the troubles faced by Wharton Insurance Company, the frozen assets of the Bureau of Justice, and then the claims of Old Brooke, and now Wharton Insurance Company is no longer able to make claims, I think you need new funds to bring in, and my father's investment company is very willing to invest this amount of money for you." ”

"Do you also want to buy the equity of Wharton Insurance Company because of this?" Zhou Ming asked.

Regarding Zhou Ming's words, Danny and his son were stunned for a moment, and then Danny and his son glanced at each other before saying: "It seems that someone has already looked for Zhou Ming before us, but please rest assured, we will not ask for any equity in Wharton Insurance Company, what we need is your candidate Omar." ”

Zhou Ming shook his head and said that he didn't understand what Danny's father and son meant, and Danny had to explain to Zhou Ming: "I don't hide anything, it's my father's candidate who failed, but he saw Omar's election success, and he thinks that Omar is the object he is worth investing in, so if Zhou Ming is willing to let Omar join my father's campaign, then he will be willing to provide you with a loan to settle this claim." ”

In the end, Danny also emphasized the interest-free loan, and Zhou Ming was happy about it: "Chairman Danny is really generous, the claim of nine million is not a small number, I believe that you can get a lot of returns if you invest this money in any field, but you have invested in Omar, it seems that for you, Omar's investment potential must be greater than that of Wharton Insurance Company, right?"

Danny frowned and replied: "I think there can be different answers to this question from different angles, but for us at the moment, we need Omar more." ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't accept this condition. If you're here to make a loan, then I'm grateful, but if you have any conditions, then don't talk about it. ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he got up to see off the guests, and Pol Danny couldn't help but say to Zhou Ming at this time: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is indeed a very favorable condition for you, otherwise in the situation you are facing now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the company to continue, not only in the company, if you continue to resist, even you yourself will face very serious legal problems." ”

Danny also said to Zhou Ming: "That's the case, we have consulted a lawyer for you, if you maliciously refuse to settle the claim, then you will face more than ten years in prison, I think it will be the old Brooke is most willing to see, Zhou Ming, you are not willing to do this, right?"

Zhou Ming smiled: "I think you misunderstood one of the most serious problems, it was only nine million dollars, and it didn't bother me." ”

Zhou Ming left after speaking, Pol Danny thought that Zhou Ming was pretending to be an attitude, but Danny thought that Zhou Ming might really have another hand.

Zhou Ming quickly came to Julie's restaurant and had dinner with them before returning to the dormitory.

Although Zhou Ming had already told the students in the finance class in advance, when Zhou Ming returned to the dormitory, he still saw that the students in the finance class were sitting in the hall in danger, waiting for Zhou Ming to come back.

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, but Zhou Ming had already expected this, so Zhou Ming came back with lawyer Allen, Zhou Ming returned to the dormitory and immediately held a meeting, and at the meeting, Zhou Ming directly and publicly told all the students in the finance class what happened in the company today, including the call from Hoover and the fact that Danny and his son came to find him.

"Students, all the assets of the Wharton Insurance Company have been frozen, this is what Old Brooke did to us in order to put us in a situation where we will never recover, including the father and son Hoover and Danny of Chinabank, they all think that I am going to be finished. Because we are an insurance company, although the insurance company is not allowed to go bankrupt, if it maliciously does not settle the claim, it will be severely punished by the law!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused, he looked around silently for a while, and then asked, "What about you? Do you also think we're going to be finished?"

This question made everyone stunned, and after a while, Ye Ning first said: "Of course not, as long as there is a teacher here, we will not fail, and we will not accept failure!"

With Ye Ning taking the lead, the other students in the finance class also shouted one after another, which made Zhou Ming very pleased.

"Very good, you are all worthy of being students in my finance class, but it is not enough to have enthusiasm, we still need some knowledge, and we can't believe what they say. ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Allen, and he replied knowingly: "According to Massachusetts law, the insurance company does have to bear legal responsibility for refusing to settle a claim, but at the same time, the law also protects the interests of the insurance company. ”

Allen continued: "And in the case of Wharton, I think it's entirely possible to go to court for an extension of time limit, and if something goes wrong, the insurance company can even claim compensation from Old Brook." ”

Zhou Ming spread his hands and finally said: "So everyone heard it, we are not completely passively beaten, at least I think we can still have a chance to fight back." ”
