Chapter 286: The American Storm
Yue Hao spent a little effort to bring the monitoring equipment to New York, and Zhou Qianzheng, the leader of the American elite team who came to pick him up as soon as he landed, brought him bad news that Morgan was taken away by the FBI before the flight landed.
Yue Hao frowned, trotted a few steps to board the shuttle vehicle arranged for him by Zhou Qianzheng, and asked before he could sit down, "What crime did the FBI use to arrest Morgan?"
"Falsifying false identities to engage in financial operations!"
"Dick Cheney's wife, daughter, and granddaughter are already in our hands! This vice president is quite ruthless, and he completely disregards the safety of his family!" Yue Hao clenched his teeth and his eyes were as calm as water, Dick Cheney was indeed a ruthless character, and this hand caught him off guard.
"We just tied up all of his family yesterday, and he started the FBI this morning, and we can only watch Morgan being taken away!" Zhou Qianzheng's expression was a little helpless, and he was helpless in the face of the government's administrative power.
"Have you informed Qingyuan?" Yue Hao looked out of the car window, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, and the surroundings were white, the world was so pure at this moment, but people's hearts were so evil.
"Informing the boss about this will not help, but it may be bad!" Zhou Qianzheng stared at Yue Hao tightly, wanting to know how he would react.
"You did a good job, you can't tell Qingyuan about this, I don't want to see him go crazy!" Yue Hao retracted his gaze with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, pinched his knuckles with his palms, and the sound of "popping" resounded in the car, "Where is Morgan imprisoned?"
"Central Park, NJ 07102, FBI New York Office, Our Guys Are Staring!"
"Withdraw people, it's easy for you to expose your identity, this time I brought a batch of monitoring equipment from China, just enough to come in handy, you first take people to install it, monitor everyone in the entire Central Park of New Jersey, and let their every move be hidden under my nose. Yue Hao thought for a while, and said, "When all the monitoring equipment is in place, you send Dick Cheney a finger of his daughter and see how he reacts!"
Yue Hao's chill made Zhou Qianzheng shudder, and replied: "Boss, Dick Cheney is a tough person, will you make Mr. Morgan hurt unnecessarily by doing this?"
"Hmph, Morgan is a man with a head and a face, FBI agents don't dare to physically harm him for no reason, and Helium Star Investment Company has spent so much money on a lawyer, it's time for them to use their brains to find something to do!"
Coming to the headquarters of the Helium Star Investment Company, Yue Hao first summoned Ye Milli, the assistant of Gary Wengers, the lawyer representing the investment company.
"Miss Yemili, is there any news from Mr. Gary?"
"Mr. Morgan is only assisting the FBI in its investigation, they don't have much evidence against Mr. Morgan, and they can only release him after 24 hours!" Ye Milli, who swayed his big wavy blond hair, replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss Yemili, please inform me immediately if you have any news!"
"As you wish, sir!" Although Ye Mili didn't know Yue Hao's identity, judging from the momentum he exuded, this was definitely a big shot.
The next morning, a tired Morgan returned to the investment firm in the company of Gary Wengers.
Gary Wengers looked at Yue Hao in the office with a wary face, this person he
I've never been in contact with it, and I don't know what to do at this time.
The first time he saw Yue Hao, Morgan took a big breath, and most of his thoughts were instantly relieved, "Yue, I'm so happy to see you." ”
"Fortunately, Qingyuan let Yun Yang and Xiao Yiyi return to China early, otherwise they would not know how worried they would be when they saw you like this now!" Yue Hao stepped forward and gave him a big hug, patted him on the back and said.
"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have the slightest psychological preparation to let Yue you see the joke!" Morgan smiled bitterly and introduced Yue Hao to Gary Wengers.
After the introduction, the three of them sat down separately, and Morgan's secretary Joanna brought coffee to the three of them, and prepared a snack for Morgan.
Morgan devoured the dessert, took out the pocket towel in front of the suit and wiped his mouth regardless of his image, and asked, "Yue, are you here for my business today?"
"Your safety is related to all the industries in the United States, how can I not come!" Yue Hao did not tell the truth, he had to take care of Gary Wengers on the side.
"The people over there, on the one hand, they are asking Helium Star Investment Company to go public, and on the other hand, they want to make a fuss about me, I really can't understand their intentions, Yue, do you have any news for my reference?"
Yue Hao glanced at Gary Wengers and gave Morgan an inquiring look.
There was no need for him to say more, Morgan naturally understood what he meant, and said: "Gary is my best friend, we are brothers who grew up together, Yue, you can say whatever you want." ”
Yue Hao retracted his gaze, gave Gary Wengers an apologetic look, and said: "It is their demand to ask Helium Star Investment Company to be listed, and it is just an accident to let the FBI arrest you, you must know that Dick Cheney's family is in my hands, and he is preparing to break the boat." ”
"Did Qingyuan tell you to do this?"
"Actually, our original intention was to delay the time and reduce the pressure on Dick Cheney on you, but I didn't expect him to play his cards according to common sense, so there was this accident. Yue Hao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
"And what are you going to do next, to keep the hostages in your hands?"
"Since you have arranged to come back, then I am ready to release him, even if it is to give Dick Cheney a signal of goodwill, if he is a smart person, he should stop in time, otherwise it will not be a kidnapping when we make a second move!" Yue Hao said and showed a mouthful of white teeth, which was so terrifying in the eyes of Gary Wengers.
"In that case, it looks like I'm going to have to speed up the acquisition process. ”
"Although I am not a businessman, from the perspective of military strategy and tactics, the Freemasonry side must have bad intentions for giving such good conditions, and in my opinion, it is better for you to give up the acquisition of this acquisition. ”
"It's a great opportunity to expand my influence, and it's a shame to give up on the acquisition!" Morgan held the cigar and never lit it, passing it back and forth between his left and right hands.
"You better call Qingyuan, there must be a conspiracy here, don't get involved!"
Morgan pondered, such an opportunity is too rare, and now there are hundreds of billions of funds in the account of "Starlight", and it is a pity that it has been vacant there, and only by converting funds into assets can the influence of investment companies be continuously improved.
"Let's wait and see, if the price is right, we don't have to buy a bank
How much of an impact. ”
"Since you are reluctant to give up, then I will follow you first during this time, and when all the dust settles, I will return to China!" Seeing that he couldn't convince Morgan, Yue Hao didn't insist anymore, he really didn't know much about business matters, so it was better not to meddle casually.
Sun Trust Bank was one of the first banks in the southeastern United States, with 1,200 branches in the United States, all of which operate a full range of businesses, including personal and business services such as insurance, asset management, investment management and securities underwriting. The insurance and securities underwriting business is a weakness for Helium Star Investment Company, and the acquisition of Sun Trust Bank will greatly enhance the business capabilities of Helium Star Commercial Bank.
Sun Trust Bank is a listed bank, its market value is about 22 billion US dollars, assets under management of more than 60 billion, as long as the acquisition of this bank, the core assets of Helium Star Commercial Bank will exceed 100 billion US dollars, assets under management will exceed 300 billion, becoming the top 20 banks in the United States.
With urgency, Morgan led the M&A team to the headquarters of the Atlanta Sun Trust Bank under the protection of Yue Hao.
William Rogers, as the chairman of the Sun Trust Bank, is actually very resistant to this acquisition, but in the United States he can only be regarded as a small coffee, this reason is not for him to say no, fortunately, if this transaction can be successful, he can get 10% of the premium, which is the only reason why he patiently received Morgan and his party.
"Mr. Morgan, we have discussed the topic of acquiring the Sun Trust Bank many times, and you have already reviewed the assets of the Sun Trust, and now the conditions I put forward will not change, a premium of 10% on the basis of the existing market value, you can accept that we can sign an agreement immediately, otherwise you don't have to waste any more saliva!"
William Rogers' impatient look looked in Morgan's eyes, he has been lowering the price, and it is a good thing to be able to lower the purchase price, but the intervention of the FBI made him have to complete the acquisition ahead of schedule, anyway, he is not short of these billions of funds.
Morgan sat upright and leaned forward slightly, pulled the coffee cup in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "One condition! Sun Trust is privatized and delisted, and I can only be heard in the entire company of Sun Trust!"
"I'm sorry Mr. Morgan, I can't agree to your request, Sun Trust can't afford to have a shareholder lawsuit caused by a low premium, which will cause our market value to plummet and cause a series of business problems. William Rogers' face became more and more ugly, he didn't expect Morgan to make such a request, and this additional commission seemed unobtainable.
"Mr. William, don't refuse so simply, about the premium acquisition at the time of delisting, as long as this premium is within a reasonable range, this fund can be advanced by our investment company. ”
Morgan's concession gave William Rogers the hope of obtaining additional commissions, as long as the Sun Trust did not need to spend additional funds to complete the acquisition of idle shares, bringing hope to the sale of the Sun Trust, and completing the tasks assigned by the big man behind it, why not!
"Since Mr. Morgan has shown such great sincerity, I will do my best to convince the shareholders of the board of directors to fulfill your request!"
"Thank you, Mr. William, for your efforts, I will be waiting for you in New York to bring me good news!"
