Chapter 1138: The Second Long Talk

In the midst of almost one-sided criticism, the positive image that Hong Tao had built up in the past few years collapsed in an instant, and everyone began to use his negative news as a mainstream topic again, a playboy, an irresponsible father, a vampire in the stock market, and a madman who defied state power! There is also a voice that wants Hong Tao to withdraw from the American business world, claiming that it is dangerous to let such a person who is hostile to the United States control the shares of American companies. Although this voice is not recognized by most people, and even thinks it is too much, it has always existed and has been shouting.

"You're poking a big basket, I suggest you go to court in New York, it's better not to use the extradition statute, it's more troublesome, and the Americans will think you're playing tricks on them." According to Ah Shan's arrangement, Hong Tao met with representatives of companies with more than one billion shares on the first day, and the first person to meet him in the lounge was Bill with a harmless smile on his face, and they sat at the table where the two met for the first time.

"You Americans, who have always boasted that you are a humorous people, just joking, and still want to sue me, this is discrimination, they don't want to see a foreigner make too much money under their noses. Well, since they're not happy, then I'm not going to play with them, I'm going to let Crystal Orchid Capital go public and give it back to the Americans. However, I have to return the money I made before, and Crystal Orchid Capital wants to transfer the shares of the companies it holds, including Microsoft, do you want to buy it back? If you don't want to, I'll transfer it to someone else. Hong Tao didn't give in, and he had to beat him upside down, even like a child. If he wants to threaten an adult with crying, his way of threatening is to turn the table and stop playing.

"Are you really crazy? It's the worst time to cash out. Not only will you lose a lot of money, but you will also make people think that you have a grudge. Don't listen to that. When did you fear the media?" Bill also shocked Hong Tao's words, he couldn't believe that a very intelligent person could suddenly become a brainless person, this change was too sudden.

"I'm tired, I don't want to be watched at my every move, I can judge what I do at will, and I don't want to be accused of stealing, it's not the life I want. The shares won't be sold publicly, I'm not crazy, so I wanted you to do me a favor. I need money, a lot of money! I'm going to build my kingdom of God, Mexico, Guatemala, all the places where the ancestors of the Mayans lived, to build a pyramid. I hope you can help me this time, and I also made an appointment with the SFC and the HKMA to explain to them that I did not intend to maliciously disrupt the stock market, nor did I illegally withdraw funds. I was forced, I want my money back!" Hong Tao had a bewitching glint in his two small eyes, and he spoke with an emphasis like a missionary, with a weird smile on his face.

“…… All right. Now that you've got you figured it out, let's talk about business. I will buy back all your Microsoft shares myself, and I will also help you prove the legitimacy of this deal. If Crystal Orchid Capital wants to raise funds to go public, I hope you can give me a controlling stake. Bill stared at Hong Tao for a moment. Shaking his head helplessly, he had completely lost hope in Hong Tao. A normal person and a madman cannot communicate normally.

"No, you'd better not touch the stake in Crystal Orchid Capital, it's a flower that grows on a corpse, and when the corpse decays, it blooms brightly, but the corpse always has a time when it decomposes, and at that point, it will quickly wither. If you still think of me as a friend, don't touch it, I'm not crazy, but I have my own struggles, and I hope you will trust me again, just like the two of us met here for the first time. Hong Tao wants everyone to think that he is crazy, treating himself as stinky shit, and not even looking at it, but he doesn't want to pit people who he thinks are still eye-catching, and Bill is one of them. If even people like him are pitted together, then he will really be hated by thousands of people.

"Flowers on the corpse...... Are you trying to tell me something?" Bill was very smart, and from Hong Tao's words, he seemed to feel the normal Hong rat again, which made him instantly raise his vigilance.

"Yes, if you are still willing to believe me, do me another favor, the shares of Microsoft held by Crystal Blue Capital do not need to be repurchased with money, I will mortgage these shares to you, and then all the money you lend me will be transferred to these companies, according to the lowest stock price of this week, it will be regarded as the interest I give you. Hong Tao felt that Bill should have understood his warning, his head was sufficient, and he was very cautious by nature. But he can't pull him for nothing, so this favor will be returned to him immediately, and the way is for Microsoft to help him transfer the funds out, and then he doesn't have to deal with it himself at the HKMA, let him grind his tongue.

"Can you tell me about the future major shareholders of Crystal Orchid Capital? I'm just trying to confirm my suspicions, and I'm not going to tell anyone. Bill's brain was really useful, he probably glanced at the note that Hong Tao stuffed to him, although he didn't know what these companies had to do with Hong Tao, but he felt that this big mouse was targeted.

"Well, here's the list of subscriptions I expected, and I haven't been finalized yet, but the other party has expressed great interest! Hong Tao took out a piece of printer paper from his pocket, with a large list of company names on it, all of which were companies that expressed their willingness to acquire shares of Crystal Orchid Capital through various channels in the past two days, not only American companies, but also many European companies.

However, the production of this list made Hong Tao very puzzled, because it was too coincidental, and most of the companies on it were all on a piece of information about British consortiums that Ratz passed on to him, which means that these companies or banks belong to a consortium. The remaining companies and banks on the list, although not directly affiliated with this consortium, have a very unique thing in common: they all belong to Jewish families.

If Hong Tao would still think that this was a coincidence, then he would be too stupid, and what made Hong Tao even more incomprehensible was why he just wanted to pit others, and others would take the initiative to stick out their heads and send them to the door. The companies on the list are obviously organized, because they don't have duplicate quotes on a particular stock, which means that each buys its own and no one competes with anyone, so why should they hold a group to buy Crystal Orchid Capital? Hong Tao wants to get some hints from Bill.

Standard Bank of South Africa?...... Hodrell Bank ...... Australia God! Do you know who they are? I don't remember you having such a deep connection with the Jewish consortium! Haven't you been working with Boeing, and they allowed you to do that?" Bill frowned when he saw the first name, and the more he looked at it, the more serious the expression on his face became, and before he could finish it, he couldn't help but ask.

"Do you also know my partnership with Boeing? What does this matter have to do with Boeing?" Hong Tao was really surprised by Bill's reaction, especially when he actually mentioned Boeing, why did he have to get Boeing's consent to sell his shares?

“…… Oh God, you made that damn Levin miserable, don't you know that you are already a wasp collaborator in the eyes of the Americans?" Bill almost got up from his chair, the first time Hong Tao had seen him so surprised.

"Vespa, what is a wasp?" Hong Tao really didn't know what Bill was talking about.

"Shit! It's not a Vespa! It's an abbreviation for WhiteAnglo-SaxonProtestant! Your political sense wouldn't have caused you so much trouble if you had a tenth of your economic acumen, and now I think it's a good thing for you to quit quickly, don't you get your god cult and come to Microsoft to help me or Apple help Jobs, haven't you always said that you want to help him defeat me? I'd love to see you two join forces to overthrow me, and I'll be very proud. You are not fit to develop yourself in this circle, as you say, you are not a pure American, and you do not want to be a pure American. Bill not only said with his mouth, but also took out a pen and wrote down what he said on a piece of paper, for fear that Hong Tao would not understand.

"Don't worry, without me, Jobs will beat you sooner or later, this matter will not be talked about today, another day I will invite you and Jobs to play in my temple, let's debate, now please explain to me, what do I have to do with your white Anglo Protestant? I am not even a Christian, when will I become Wasp?" Hong Tao doesn't need to look at the words written by Bill, he knows what this thing is when he listens to it, this is a group of elite white people in the United States, or a kind of value identity.

"It seems that you have to invite me to lunch, well, for the sake of you being my partner, let me tell you about the economic and political structure of the United States! But there is one condition, the stock price must be the lowest price last week, and I will charge for giving lectures to others!" Bill glanced at his watch, made a long stance, and took the opportunity to bite Hong Tao again. The lowest price of last week's stock price was about 20 cents lower than this week, which is a difference of more than $300,000 based on the more than $100 million in shares held by Crystal Blue Capital!

Hong Tao has always been hungry for knowledge, so he not only invited Bill to the Starlight Restaurant for lunch, but also tacitly agreed that Bill's mouth was worth more than $300,000. In nearly 2 hours, Hong Tao not only roughly understood the economic pattern of the American consortium, but also solved many questions in his mind, and now he finally figured out a lot of things that he couldn't understand.
