Chapter Ninety-Eight: No Chance?
On the Harvard campus, radical students surrounded the dormitories, banners in their hands and shouting all sorts of insults.
"Inferior Chinese, please get out of the Harvard campus, we are a sacred campus here, not a holy place of fraud that hides dirt and dirt, what we need is the elite, not to cheat the old and weak women and children for lunch money! You are the mongrels of the world, you are a kind of pollution here, you will bring the worst diseases, only get out can we return our peace!"
The radical students were insulting, and some even threw Molotov cocktail bottles at the dormitory, and when the bottles exploded on the walls, they let out an excited howl: "Get out of here, Chinese, you filthy garbage, you don't belong here!"
......
At the intersection of the ladder building, many people distributed leaflets in an organized manner, and at the same time said to all the passers-by: "Wharton Insurance is a very criminal company, they cheat us out of premiums in the name of insurance, and then go to fund the red culture, try to come and subvert our freedom, they want to take our house and savings, and let our family all sleep on the streets!" This cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, so for the sake of our families and freedom, we must resist everything from Wharton, and if you have ever bought a Wharton product, please sell it immediately!"
In this kind of agitation, many people came to Wharton, and they demanded a refund of their insurance funds, and many lawyers also wrote to them to get a refund for their clients, or they would meet in court.
"Because there is fraud in the agreement, so this insurance contract does not have any legal effect, my client has the right to request the termination of the contract at any time, and exercise his legitimate right to get back all the money he was defrauded, if Wharton refuses to perform, my client has the right to choose to file a lawsuit, and join other victims to file a lawsuit. ”
Manager Ram of the Ladder Building also called Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm sorry to inform you that you and your Wharton Insurance Company must move out of the Ladder Building within three days, otherwise the building will take all coercive measures." The building can assist you with the removal of the building without paying any compensation, because the existence of Wharton has seriously affected the reputation of the building and other companies, and the building will choose to investigate this and ask Wharton to pay some financial compensation. ”
"Mr. Zhou Ming, it's not that I don't help you, but in fact you have become the target of public criticism now, if you want to blame yourself, you don't take the right path, you have to carry out financial fraud! You say that's a rumor? I'm sorry, I don't have the obligation to distinguish, it has nothing to do with me, I only know the money you should give me, the compensation you should make, not a penny less!" Ram said to Zhou Ming.
......
Zhou Ming opened his eyes, he was in a hotel room, and he was just dreaming by himself just now.
Suddenly, the door of the room was opened, Lin Muqing walked in, she saw Zhou Ming get up, and stepped forward to Zhou Ming and said: "According to Zhou Ming's request, I just settled Chen Shu and them, and they are all arranged in this hotel, this is a very powerful hotel, and no one should come to make trouble." ”
Zhou Ming nodded silently, in fact, the dream just now was what he had experienced before, as the news of Wharton's insurance fraud continued to heat up, coupled with the fact that there were people behind him, even Harvard University had many people organized to make trouble for them, they surrounded their student dormitories, constantly insulted, and in the end even developed to the point of throwing Molotov cocktails.
For their safety, Zhou Ming had to take advantage of the evening to pick them all out of the dormitory and arrange them in Lin Muqing's hotel with himself.
"The students in the finance class are still very united, they are all good, none of them complained in the face of the current situation, and they all support Zhou Mingyou. Lin Muqing said.
Zhou Ming smiled, because no one knows better than him about the support and trust of the students in the finance class, but now is not the time to say this, Zhou Ming thought for a while and asked, "Sister Mu Qing, what about the situation at the bank?"
Hearing this question, Lin Muqing's face suddenly sank: "The situation on the bank's side is deliberate. ”
Although this answer did not surprise Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming still asked: "Why?"
"When Chen Shu told us the news that the stock account was frozen, I immediately contacted the brokerage company, and they said that there was a problem with the procedures for linking with the offshore account and the exchange rate, but when I contacted the offshore bank after following the problem, they said that there was no problem with my procedures. Later, I asked my stockbroker again, and he told me that it was the leader from above. Lin Muqing said.
The meaning of the words here could not be more obvious, the so-called above meaning of the stockbroker is nothing more than Christo trying to persuade the broker's department head, or directly buying off the brokerage, to deliberately cause trouble for Zhou Ming.
"It's just that the brokerage I chose is also a very powerful securities company in New York, how could they do such a thing?" Lin Muqing said angrily.
"Strength also depends on who you compare with. Zhou Ming said, "In the past, didn't we also think that Allen's law firm was the most powerful in Brighton? But as soon as the Addams family made a move, wasn't it immediately killed? It was also sold at a low price of 10,000 US dollars, so Sister Mu Qing, the brokerage you chose may have hundreds of millions of assets, but in front of the Adams family, it is nothing." ”
Regarding Zhou Ming's words, Lin Muqing understood in his heart like a mirror that as a family that controls Brighton Bank, Massachusetts Insurance Company, Bell Aircraft Company and Phoenix Optical Missile Company, and has a history of more than 300 years and controls the lifeblood of the country's economy, his background is probably unimaginable to ordinary people. You must know that Warren Buffett, the world's richest man this year, has only 10 billion assets, but the holding companies of the Adams family are all over a trillion dollars in assets.
"Zhou Ming, then what should we do?, is the Addams family really that powerful?" Lin Muqing muttered.
Zhou Ming was about to say something, when the mobile phone he put on the table rang, Zhou Ming connected, it was Omar's voice, and his tone was very hesitant: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I hope my call didn't disturb you, I'm sorry I called you so late, but I have something to tell you, it's about the Addams family." ”
Hearing this name, Zhou Ming immediately reacted and asked, "Someone has looked for you, right? Omar." ”
Omar nodded and said, "Yes, the Fenway District Speaker approached me this morning, and he asked me if I had received fraud from Wharton, and he asked me to keep my distance from Wharton, otherwise it would affect my political future, and I said I would go back and think about it." ”
As soon as Omar's words fell, Zhou Ming said to him, "You should tell him that it's okay." ”
"Why? Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm not the kind of person who is ungrateful, I don't need this dirty political future!" Omar said.
"Omar, you misunderstood me, and I didn't mean it that way. Zhou Ming explained to him, "Because my situation is very difficult now, you can draw a line with me first, and then we will cooperate after I get through this difficulty, and your speaker should also promise you good benefits, right?"
"The speaker said that I can run for city council in the future, and he can recommend me to the party and introduce sponsorship. Omar said.
"So, if you have a bargain, don't take advantage of the bastard! Get these things that you can get in your hands first, and the rest will be talked about later. Zhou Ming said.
Omar suddenly realized something, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou Ming, do you mean that you will be able to solve your current predicament soon?"
"That's inevitable, Omar, don't you have faith in me?" Zhou Ming said.
As Zhou Ming's partner and the future president of Zhou Ming's investment, Omar certainly understands Zhou Ming's current situation, and in terms of the situation Zhou Ming is facing now, if he wants to be replaced by someone else, Omar definitely does not have any confidence, but this person is Zhou Ming, so it is not easy to say.
"Well, since Mr. Zhou Ming has said so, I can only hope that you can settle those dogs as soon as possible. Omar said.
Before Zhou Ming could reply, he heard a knock on the door of his room, and Zhou Ming had to hurriedly end the phone call with Omar. Lin Muqing went to help Zhou Ming open the door, but unexpectedly welcomed a Chinese in.
"Consul Cheng, why are you here?" Zhou Ming said in surprise.
The man laughed and said, "There is such a big thing going on here, even the finance class has been kicked out of Harvard, how can I not know about it?"
The person who came in was Cheng Jun, the consul general of the Chinese Consulate in New York, when Zhou Ming arrived in the United States, Cheng Jun was responsible for meeting him at the airport and helping him complete all the formalities, so Zhou Ming had an impression of him.
In the face of Cheng Jun's words, Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I know that the current situation is very bad, and it is all because of me, I am very sorry for this, because I didn't expect the Addams family to be so serious, not only forced my Wharton company into a desperate situation, but even had to take the students in the finance class under the knife, I didn't expect it." ”
Cheng Jun patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and said: "Actually, Zhou Ming, you don't need to blame yourself at all, because this has nothing to do with you, and you don't want to be like this, but it is just that you have met a person like Robert, which makes the Addams family too unforgiving." ”
Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "Consul Cheng, you don't need to comfort me, I understand everything, if you don't come to me on purpose, Consul Cheng, won't you just come to comfort me?"
"Of course not, I'm here to convey the mission that the ambassador has given me. Cheng Jun said.
Hearing the word 'ambassador', Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing couldn't help but gasp, because abroad, ambassadors often represent the country, so the so-called news in Cheng Jun's mouth now is likely to be the news of the central government.
"The ambassador said that he has now learned about your situation, and that he has also gone to negotiate with the Addams family, and the Addams family is willing to let it go, but they want you to leave Brighton. Cheng Jun said.
"So Consul Cheng, you're here to take me away today?" Zhou Ming asked.
Cheng Jun nodded yes, then he looked at Zhou Ming's gloomy face and then said: "Zhou Ming, you have to understand, the ambassador did this for your own good, in fact, you didn't do anything wrong, everything you did the ambassador saw in his eyes, you can create a dormitory convenience store, you can create Wharton Insurance Company, it's already a very great miracle, you have done a very good job, all you have to do now is to temporarily avoid the edge, do you know?"
"So Consul Cheng, what do you mean, whether it's the ambassador or the country, you don't think I have any chance to turn over, right?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Zhou Ming, I know that you are a young man who does not admit defeat, but there are some things that need to be disciplined......"
Zhou Ming interrupted Cheng Jun's words: "Consul Cheng, I think you misunderstood, I don't have negative anger and willfulness, since you want to take people away, in fact, I also hope so, but the person who is going to leave is not me, but her." ”
Zhou Ming said and stretched out his hand to Lin Muqing.
