Chapter 354: If there is revenge, you will take revenge on Great Wood
"Father, I don't understand, why did you temporarily stop my press conference? Obviously, this press conference is something you have agreed to, and it can also be a good deterrent to all the garbage who still fantasize about relying on that Zhou Ming to deal with us!"
Wood returned to his villa, walked into his father's George's room, and said dissatisfied, that George did not say anything about it, but threw him a newspaper.
Wood was a little surprised, he took the newspaper that George threw out, and when he saw the news on the newspaper, his eyes immediately widened in confusion: "There was a large-scale run on Big Wood Bank? How could this happen? Could it be that Zhou Ming's miscellaneous did something?"
George said to him, "I think it would be better for you to read the whole newspaper before you speak." β
Wood apologized a little embarrassed, and then continued to look through the newspaper, and soon he was stunned again, but this time he learned smartly, and he couldn't help but speak in a hurry, but only said after reading the whole newspaper: "Father, I have read the whole newspaper, I only saw that the stock of Big Wood Bank has plummeted, is this all done by that Zhou Ming?"
"According to the data available in the market, the decline in the stock of Grand Wood Bank was initially caused by the sell-off of some investment companies controlled by the Tang family, and then the news of the run became public, and the stock began to plummet. George explained, "As for the run, it was caused by a group message at the paging station this morning, which Zhou Ming and Martin went to the paging station in Taylor District to do." β
Faced with this answer, Wood was stunned for the first time, to say that the Tang family's sale of bank stocks would cause the stock price to fall, which he could understand, but he couldn't figure out how a pager message of just over 20 words could trigger a large-scale run? Could it be that Zhou Ming would have any special hypnotic magic? Otherwise, how could he manipulate the minds of so many people, and how could these people do things according to his script?
However, if these two things are separated, then of course their Big Wood family is not afraid, but now the run has exacerbated the decline of Big Wood Bank's stock, and the stock decline in turn has made the bank's situation more and more difficult, and ordinary people will think that Big Wood Bank is going bankrupt at this time, and carry out a more serious run, which has become a vicious circle.
"Damn, it's really a good thing that Zhou Ming's bastard did!" Wood scolded hatefully, of course, after scolding, Wood also said, "But father, since Zhou Ming's bastard has done such a thing, shouldn't we take revenge on him? And Martin's guy." β
"Of course we should retaliate, but it's just a lawsuit, I think it's a little too cheap, and there is also the Tang family's side that we can't take care of through this lawsuit, so I think it's necessary for us to change our approach. George looked up and asked Wood, "Is there any way you can get back all the trouble they've caused us?"
Wood thought for a moment and replied, "If I could, I'd really like to sell all the shares of Chinabank that we have now." β
"My kid, why can't that? We don't seem to have signed any agreement to guarantee ownership of these shares, don't we? Besides, since they don't care about Big Wood Bank, we don't have to care about Chinabank either, it has nothing to do with the size of the bank, it's just a kind of thinking logic, we have to go to hell, we can't let Chinatown bank still live happily in heaven. George said to Wood.
If we throw them all at once, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the market to withstand such a huge shock, and the shares will definitely shrink seriously at that time, and we can not care about the life or death of the Tangren Bank, but the problem is that our own losses will be very large, even if it is only a partial sell-off, it will have a very serious impact. Wood said.
George reminded him, "I think you misunderstood something, I didn't say that we should sell it all now, we can call him and threaten him first, if he doesn't give in, and we reach the limit of our patience, then we can't do anything." β
George then said, "But we don't have that many concerns about Martin's side. β
Wood showed an extremely hideous smile on his face: "This Mr. Mayor is really hateful, he dared to help that Zhou Ming create a run on our Big Wood Bank, I don't think we can be too gentle with him, this time we should be rough and directly smash his factory." β
"It's not enough to smash it, I've heard that the people who work in his factory are some, and we should let these guys understand that Martin's factory shouldn't have any workers. George added, and then he added, "As for the Tang family, we still have to communicate with them first." β
"I understand Father, then I'll go about my business. β
Wood exited the room after speaking, and immediately after, he took people to Martin's factory, and started beating without saying a word, not only smashing all the machines in Martin's factory, but even injuring all the workers who were working inside.
The news quickly reached Martin's ears, and Martin rushed to the scene as soon as possible, but on the way, he called Zhou Ming: "Oh no, Mr. Zhou Ming, my factory has been retaliated against by the Big Wood family, they actually called hundreds of people to smash my factory, and also injured the factory's security department and hundreds of workers, it's just lawless!"
"It's a very sad thing to do, and I think they did it to get revenge on you and me. Zhou Ming said to Martin, "But it seems that the father and son of the Wood family have a very strong character, and as long as they suffer losses, they will definitely take revenge." β
"Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think now is the time to say a joke. Martin said.
"I want to say I'm not joking, but I can apologize to you for saying that, Mr. Mayor. Zhou Ming continued, "As for the losses suffered by your factory, if you count them, I will compensate you in full, including the medical expenses of all the injured workers." β
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Martin seemed to be a little incredulous: "Mr. Zhou Ming, are you saying that you will compensate me for all the losses of my factory after it was retaliated against by the Wood family?"
"Is there any problem? Mr. Mayor, do you think I'm just the kind of guy who does things by lip service, and I can't help at all except to come up with ideas behind my back?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.
"Of course not, I have always felt that Mr. Zhou Ming is a very powerful person, how can he not help except for his mouth?"
Martin said to Zhou Ming, but the embarrassment in his words was very obvious, because he thought so, but now that he thinks about it, his previous thoughts were really stupid, because no one is an idiot, if Zhou Ming was just a person who did things by lip service and didn't have any strength himself, I'm afraid he would have been abandoned a long time ago, after all, as long as there is capital, there will never be a shortage of smart people in this world.
And now, since Zhou Ming can compete with the Brighton and Adams families, and has the full support of the California consortium to come to Eitley to deal with the Big Wood family, he must also have strong strength.
Thinking of this, Martin suddenly felt that Zhou Ming was so unfathomable, originally he thought that he was looking for Zhou Ming to join forces, and he thought he could grasp him, but now it seems that he is simply naΓ―ve like an idiot, and it is completely the rhythm of luring wolves into the room!
Listening to Martin's silence for a while, Zhou Ming easily guessed his thoughts, so Zhou Ming said to him: "Mr. Mayor, I hope you still remember what I said at the beginning, I am just a passerby of Itley, I have only one purpose, to take revenge on the Great Wood family, after the death of Lady Margaret, I want the Great Wood family to bury her, that's all, can you understand when I say this?"
To be the mayor of Eitley, Martin is certainly not an idiot, he understands that Zhou Ming's words are to calm his heart.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou Ming, but I have another question, they all say that businessmen don't do loss-making business, so Zhou Ming is just to take revenge on the Big Wood family this time?" asked Martin.
Zhou Ming smiled: "Mr. Mayor, I think this question should be asked the other way around, isn't it the greatest benefit to defeat a big Wood family?"
Martin gasped and hung up after a long pause of silence before saying "I understand."
Zhou Ming was still in Martin's villa at this time, after all, this is the safest place, after Zhou Ming hung up Martin's phone, he dialed Tang Ran's phone, and the phone was quickly connected, Zhou Ming said: "Ranran, just now Yatley's Martin's factory was attacked by the Big Wood family, and the losses were very large, and it may not be able to start work for a long time, I want to ask you how is the situation over there?"
Since Zhou Ming talks to San Francisco on the phone every day, Tang Ran is also very familiar with Zhou Ming's affairs, and when he heard that Martin's factory was attacked, Tang Ran also said: "I just received a call from the Big Wood family, and they threatened us not to meddle in anything at Eitley, otherwise they will sell all the 80 billion shares of Tang China Bank in their hands." β
After finishing speaking, Tang Ran continued: "But Brother Ming doesn't matter, I won't be afraid of their threats, Brother Ming, you can do whatever you want, I will definitely support it to the end!"
"I'm not at the point where I need to sacrifice the Tang family to defeat the Great Wood family. Zhou Ming said with a smile, "Although since the equity of Jinghui Private Bank and Tangyin Institutional Asset Management Company was transferred, Tangren Bank itself is not as important as it used to be, but after all, it is still the face of the Tang family, and it is better to protect it." β
"So how did you stabilize the Great Wood family's side first, and at the same time contact with other consortia?" Zhou Ming asked.
Tang Ran nodded and replied, "We have contacted Jack, the head of the Morgan family, who is willing to have a conference call with us at noon tomorrow and participate in the cooperation between us." β
