Chapter 313: Prologue to the Attack
Zhou Ming hung up the phone after speaking, which shocked Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin at that time, they stared at Zhou Ming with a pair of stunned eyes and muttered, "You...... Just hung up the phone? Didn't you have to ask him to meet and talk? That's too hasty, isn't it?"
Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and replied: "There may be a little bit of sloppiness, but it doesn't have any effect, after all, his attitude has been so clearly shown on the phone, so what else is there to say? β
Now it's hard to take the initiative to call, and finally have the opportunity to chat with that side, he just put on a high-minded posture on the phone, your boss is good, and he actually hung up the phone directly, if you say that you are pretending to be b, then aren't you pretending to be bigger and more excessive?
Tang Jingsheng scolded Zhou Ming loudly in his heart, of course, his face was not obvious, he just said: "I'm sorry, I don't understand." β
From the expression of the other party's secret, it was naturally not difficult for Zhou Ming to guess what he was thinking, so Zhou Ming said to him: "Then let's think about what he said? First of all, he said that he had prepared tens of billions of funds to support Lombardy and Hamilton companies, and then he also said that the ten percent of the shares in Tang An's hand would also be transferred to his name in the future. β
Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin both nodded, obviously still impressed by this: "Then what does this mean?"
"It shows that he cannot compromise with us on this matter. Zhou Ming said.
Seeing that Tang Jingsheng and the others were all incomprehensible, Zhou Ming had no choice but to continue: "Then let's analyze it little by little, what do you think of the scale of the two companies, Lombardy and Hamilton? Do you need to use tens of billions of dollars to compete?"
The words are amazing, hearing Zhou Ming say this, Tang Jingsheng and they reacted impressively, although Lombard and Hamilton are both regarded as "powerful large companies" in the media, but that is only for ordinary people, after all, they both have more than 1,000 employees, but in the eyes of a large consortium, not to mention "very ordinary small companies", at least not the kind of large company groups that need to invest tens of billions of funds.
And you must know that the development of a company is a gradual process, and it is not simply to invest more money to achieve, it is impossible for a micro-business to invest tens of billions to him to become a treasure, and a random computer seller you can become a Dell by investing tens of billions of dollars in him, if this is the case, then these super enterprises have become too cheap.
It is said that if the step is bigger, it will pull the egg, so this preparation of 10 billion will be directly blown into the sky, but is it more harmful to the enterprise?
If an ordinary person who doesn't know how to run a business would think so, it would be understandable, but it would be very unreasonable for Wood, a person who has been nurtured by his family since childhood, to think so.
Tang Jingsheng frowned at this and said, "This is indeed very illogical, so could it be said that he said this on purpose? The purpose is to scare us? Or is it that he is using all this money to save all the companies under Tang An's hands? If this is the case, then it makes sense." β
Zhou Ming said: "If this is the case, then I am relieved, because if he wants to distract so much energy to other places, he will definitely not be able to do anything." β
Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are both rolling in the shopping mall, so they naturally understand this, if they have enough energy and money to concentrate on a certain investment, then they will most likely get a good return, but if they invest in many places at one time, then it will be easy to be overwhelmed.
"It's not right to say that it's just a scare, because he then also mentioned the 10 percent stake in Tang An's hand. Zhou Ming said.
Tang Jingsheng suddenly remembered something: "Zhou Ming, did you mean that the money was originally used to buy those shares from Tang An?"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "I don't know what the specific thing is, but it seems that there is no other explanation other than this." β
"This damn Tang An, is he really going to sell his shares to outsiders?he is a traitor to our Tang family, the biggest shame!"
Tang Jingsheng said angrily, he couldn't help but be angry, in the past, whether Tang An was arguing at the shareholders' meeting or doing other things, he was always doing it under the banner of protecting the Tang family, but now he openly colluded with the Wood family to hand over ten percent of the shares of the Tang Bank to an outsider, so that the outsider had the opportunity to control the Tang Bank. Faced with the possibility of bringing down the Tang Bank, which his ancestors had worked so hard to establish, how could Tang Jingsheng not be angry?
"There's no need to be nervous at the moment, because I believe that Tang An will definitely still control the shares in his own hands now, and he will only sell when Wood does a good job. Zhou Ming guessed.
"I don't care if he sells or buys this stock now, we must stop him from doing this!" Tang Jingsheng said, "As the head of the ancestral hall, I must not let this kind of thing happen, Zhou Ming, you say how to do it, I will cooperate with you! The purpose of my existence is for the family!"
When Tang Jingsheng officially wanted to obey Zhou Ming's dispatch, on the other side of the phone, Wood was stunned when he listened to the busy sound on the phone.
Did someone hang up your phone like this?
It seems that Wood is unwilling to accept such a reality, after all, as the heir of the Big Wood family born with a golden spoon, even the governor has to be polite when he sees him, where would anyone dare to hang up on him after counting him down like this, this is too much to take him seriously, right?
Tang An saw that Wood was stunned, and guessed what Zhou Ming had done, so he boldly went up and said, "Mr. Wood, may I ask what Zhou Ming said again?" Don't be angry, after all, that's just an idiot, you can't be as knowledgeable as him." In fact, I'm used to this attitude towards him, that's why you said you were going to call him, and I advised you not to call, because that bastard doesn't know what attitude and respect are!"
Tang An said this on purpose, and when his words fell, Wood said, "Then we will teach him what it means to be respectful, and our plan will begin immediately." β
"I'm just waiting for your words!"
Tang An said to Wood, and then turned around, with an irrepressible smile on his face, he thought in his heart: Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming, I didn't expect you to really dare to do it, but I also have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I believe Mr. Wood wouldn't really be angry, then next, you just wait to accept the bitter fruits of your anger after he is angry!
But at this time, Wood's voice suddenly came from behind: "Tang, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, you just hate that Zhou Ming, but you don't want to and don't have the ability to directly face him and the entire Tang family, so it's like borrowing my hand to deal with him, and even don't hesitate to take out ten percent of the shares of Tang Bank, am I right?"
Wood's words came one by one, but Tang An's body was cold when he heard it, because that's what he thought, and even he thought that it would be best for Wood to fight with the Tang family and that Zhou Ming to lose both, and finally come out to clean up the situation and control the wealth in his own hands. If you are lucky, you don't have to pay any price, you can split the Tang family, and you can get a lot more wealth than now.
Tang An hadn't given himself countless likes for his wit, but now it seemed that his thoughts were very naΓ―ve, and the heir of the Great Wood family, although somewhat arrogant, was not an idiot.
Thinking of this, Tang An turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Wood, how can I have such an idea?" Of course I hate that Zhou Ming very much, but even if I give me a hundred guts, I don't dare to calculate you......
Before Tang An could finish speaking, Wood stopped him and said, "Shut up trash, you don't need to talk to me about this at all, because you can't calculate me, everything I want to do is what I want to do, do you understand?"
Tang An didn't actually understand Wood's words, but he still nodded desperately: "Of course I understand, Mr. Wood, you are very smart, all my little tricks are just a joke in your opinion, and what you do is done according to your own ideas!"
Wood shook his head disdainfully and said, "It seems that you still don't understand, this matter is not as simple as you think." β
Then Wood said, "Forget it, let's go ahead with what we planned." β
Tang An nodded and said, "No problem, I have contacted several media outlets in San Francisco, and they have promised to give us the best time to advertise, as well as outdoor advertising......"
Wood interrupted Tang An's words again: "These are not enough at all, you must know that we now have 70 billion funds in our account, so you don't need to worry about any money at all, what we need now is to open the market through investment, do you understand?"
"So we need to expand our advertising, and I want all the stations in San Francisco to have Lombard and Hamilton commercials, and all the outdoor advertising, including the most visible big screens, and the most crowded bus and rail stations, all of which have our most eye-catching advertising!" Wood thought for a moment and said, "In addition to that, our advertising needs to be specially tweaked." β
Tang An looked at Wood stunned, he didn't understand why the advertisement he had just produced needed to be adjusted.
Wood said: "Because our advertising is too soft, I need to have a harder advertising, I need to start the publicity war with the opponent through advertising first, I need to occupy the whole San Francisco market, whether I am a patient in a hospital bed or a white-collar worker at work, even if it is a kindergarten child, I must know our products, and at the same time like us and hate other brands!"
Tang An was shocked, he understood why Wood would directly say tens of billions of funds on the phone to Zhou Ming, he thought it was just to scare the other party, but he didn't think that he could really use the money, it was such a super-large-scale propaganda war.
After all, advertising is a very money-burning thing, not to mention being overwhelming like him, which is completely smashed with money.
As for the question of income, that is not what is being considered now, after all, if the entire San Francisco market can be occupied through publicity, then no matter how much money can be earned, only mediocre people who have no vision and no confidence in themselves will be reluctant to invest money.
Thinking of this, Tang An smiled again, although he didn't know what the real reason for Wood to do this was, but as long as there was the full force of the Great Wood family, he believed that his company would be able to stabilize, and as long as he could stabilize the downward trend, he would be able to gain the trust of the other Tang family brothers and sisters, and it was more likely that he would see Tang Jingsheng and them in person.
