Chapter 22
Just this morning, Fugg Bank encountered an unprecedented run, and the reason why this run is unprecedented is because there is only one person who went to Fugue Bank to run this time, and he is Jo Rose, an investor in Quantum Fund. Just this morning, Joros asked Fugg Bank to cash cheques worth 1 www.biquge.info 0 billion francs, saying that this was just the beginning, and that he would continue to cash more cheques in the next few days.
As we all know, Joros's Quantum Fund has just beaten the Bank of England and is currently buying francs, and perhaps only God knows how much wealth he holds, but it is foreseeable that Fugue Bank will be greatly affected by this.
It is reported that with the run, Fuge Bank's stock has fallen by more than three percentage points in an hour, which is already a big drop for Fugg Bank, apparently all investors think that Joroth may be shorting Fuge Bank, so the sensible thing to do is to abandon Fugg Bank's stock, in fact, investors are doing this.
I think in the next few days, if Joros continues his run, he will not only get more investors to sell Fugue Bank's shares, but he will also be able to trigger a large-scale real run, which in turn will cause even more stock market shocks, and fall into a nightmare cycle.
......
This was the news on the radio, and listening to the news shocked AndrΓ© at the time, because the Fugg Bank was the core business of the Harusburg family.
But Andrei obviously didn't just give in: "Do you think I'll believe it with this thing you're holding?"
Zhou Ming smiled: "Could it be that Mr. Earl doesn't believe that this is true, and thinks that I am just holding a tape recorder and playing the recording for you, deliberately scaring you?" I'm very sorry, I'm not so bored, I think maybe only Mr. Earl will do this." β
With Zhou Ming's words, Andre's face became worse and worse, because he also knew very well in his heart that Zhou Ming would not be able to use the tape recorder, and the result of doing so would not have any effect except to make him a laughing stock;
God seemed to hear Andrei's heart, and then a servant hurried into the hall and kept shouting to Andrei: "Hello sir, something has happened to Fugue Bank!"
The servant's shout caused an uproar at the scene, and Andre also felt that the world was spinning, no one expected that this seemingly reckless and barbaric Chinese man would really release the news.
However, for Zhou Ming, just releasing this news is certainly not enjoyable, and he then said: "If Mr. Andre often pays attention to the news, he should know that this quantum fund is invested and controlled by me, I think you should understand what I mean when I say this, right?"
In fact, Zhou Ming set up a language trap here, Zhou Ming did control and invested in the quantum fund, but the actual equity only accounted for a part, and even if it was really true, Zhou Ming could not even completely influence the decision-making of the quantum fund.
However, it feels too much to really explain it like this, but here Zhou Ming only said that it was a holding, and for Andre, it would be taken for granted that it was an absolute holding, and even Zhou Ming supported it single-handedly, which was just a simple subconscious guidance, but the results of the two ideas were very different.
"Are you trying to say that Joros's run on Fugg Bank was manipulated by you behind the scenes?" Andre asked, apparently not aware of Zhou Ming's language trap, and in fact he had no way of detecting it.
Zhou Ming snapped his fingers: "That's what it means!"
"Do you think I'm going to believe you if you say that?" said Andre through gritted teeth.
Zhou Ming smiled: "I said, Mr. Earl, can you say anything else? I'm tired of hearing this sentence if you don't get tired of saying it, if you don't believe that it's easy to do, you can drive me out and see how long your Fuge Bank can carry it." β
Andrei's face was very ugly: "It turns out that you have a purpose!"
"I said, Mr. Andre, you are also an earl, can you say something nutritious? Of course I have a purpose, otherwise what am I going to do with the radio? Broadcast the news to you?" Zhou Ming said meaningfully, "So Mr. Andre, are you going to bomb me out now?"
Zhou Ming's rhetorical question was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Andrei's chest, making him almost squirt out a mouthful of old blood.
Is this a slap in the face, or is it direct without any beating around the bush, and what is even more unbearable is that he still has to slap himself in the face with his own hands.
You know, just now, Andrei said that he would kill Zhou Ming and throw him into the Rhine, but now he wants to retract these words, not only can he not beat him, but also keep him in the castle, this is not simply a slap in the face, and more serious is to let his prestige be ruined.
But...... If you don't, then what's the solution?
Thinking of the end, Andre bowed his head to Zhou Ming: "For the time being, just leave you in Harusburg, but don't think that you will win like this, I will get it all back!"
Zhou Ming persuaded bitterly about this: "My Earl, why did you forget it again? Don't talk so much, what if you are slapped in the face again in the future?"
For Zhou Ming's words, some people couldn't help laughing behind Andre at that time, and Andre felt that his face had been swollen by Zhou Ming, and he was now crazy and wanted to kill Zhou Ming. So in the end, Andre chose to turn around and leave directly, because he felt that as long as he was still in front of Zhou Ming in the hall now, his face would be pressed to the ground by Zhou Ming and rubbed at will.
After Andre left, Zhou Ming and Caitlin also left, and the difference compared to before was that this time all the family members consciously made way for them, instead of swarming away, and no one paid attention to them at all.
This is a very inconspicuous small move, but it shows that at least now these people are no longer as good as before, thinking that they are simply funny, through a series of things just now, let them understand that Zhou Ming and Caitlin at least have the strength to compete with Andre, even if it is only temporary, as a melon-eating crowd, they do not want to be involved.
......
At noon, Zhou Ming and Caitlin left Harusburg, after all, Andre didn't even arrange everyone's accommodation, and the same was naturally true for dinner, so Zhou Ming and Caitlin needed to go back to the city to find a hotel to solve it.
On the way, Caitlyn receives a call from Louise, the content of this call is not special, that is, Louise wants to have lunch with them at noon, and by the way, discuss the afternoon together.
Hanging up Louise's phone, Caitlin said with emotion: "Zhou Ming, what you said is really not wrong at all, in the morning, when Andre bullied us like that and deliberately turned off our microphone, she obviously could help but didn't say a word, now seeing Zhou Ming, you have the ability to make Andre bow his head, she took the initiative to contact us, no matter what, we must have the strength to do it ourselves, we can't hope for others, no one!"
Zhou Ming smiled and told her: "Of course, because only reciprocal strength is called cooperation, otherwise it is unilaterally begging for charity from others, and it is difficult to have any credibility for charity, even if you really have what the other party wants." β
"But that's no longer the case. Zhou Ming said again, "We have already made a move, if Princess Louise doesn't do something, it will be too much to say, this is called throwing bricks and attracting jade." β
An hour later, Zhou Ming and Caitlin arrived at the Violet Hotel in downtown Harusburg, which was the dining place chosen by Louise or the royal family behind her.
I have to say that the royal family is very particular, this Violet Hotel is actually converted from a castle, it is a very luxurious hotel, but because of the elegant environment here, it looks very tasteful, and the dishes here are also the most prestigious in the whole city of Harusburg, so there are many rich people who come here to eat.
Here, Zhou Ming and Caitlin asked for a box, and they had only waited here for less than ten minutes before a knock on the door of the box was knocked on, and Louise and her servant walked in.
"Caitlin, I'm so glad to dine with you, God above, we haven't dined together since I married into the royal family, haven't we?
Louise walked in and said to Caitlyn with emotion that as a nobleman, her superficial skills were very good, and if it wasn't for Zhou Ming helping Caitlyn figure out the key, she would almost believe it.
Since she was going to act, Caitlyn also recalled, "Yes, my dear aunt, if my father was still here, he would be very happy." β
After some sighing and sighing, they sat down together, and Louise also understood that her acting skills were just a joke in front of Zhou Ming and Caitlin, and she then entered the topic and said: "Thinking back to an hour ago in Harusburg, your performance is really amazing, I didn't expect that you still control an institution like the Quantum Fund, and you can actually run on Fugg on such a scale, which is really unexpected." β
"Of course, if we didn't have the confidence to argue with Andre, we wouldn't have come to Harusburg to attend this meeting easily. Caitlin explained.
"But I'm going to criticize you here, why didn't you tell me beforehand, do you know how worried I was about you?" said Louise, pretending to be angry.
Of course, Zhou Ming understood that she was still pretending, and also cooperated with her to act: "I'm very sorry, it was our mistake to hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, but we weren't sure what the effect of the run on the Quantum Fund would be, and even in the end, we were worried that it would ruin some of your plans, Your Royal Highness the Princess, so we kindly concealed it from you." β
Despite the flawed explanation, Louise accepted: "I understand your hard work, but only once, and if there is a next time, I will be really angry." β
Zhou Ming and Caitlin smiled together and nodded to indicate that this must be the case, and finally Louise said: "But since you have already made a move, then I, as an elder, would be too unreasonable if I didn't do something, so I will also help you in the afternoon." β
Zhou Ming was waiting for this sentence, and immediately pulled Caitlyn and nodded: "Then please Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
