As for Richard, after doing this kind of thing, Citibank will definitely not let him continue to do it. If this hole is not filled in time, it is definitely not something that can be solved by simply leaving the job. Citibank will definitely repair him, after all, he has seriously damaged the bank's image and reputation.

I have done too much of it, and I have done it big. When you walk at night, you may hit ghosts. Richard may not know the meaning of this sentence, but he can fully understand its meaning. Including Christopher, who has already performed a trapeze act from the top floor of the hotel, is also very understanding. It's just that there is no way to change the ending.

Zhang Fan will not care about the fate of Richard after him, and for Christopher, who has become a trapeze, since everyone has already hung up, there is no need to bother.

Now Zhang Fan is more interested in the shares of Disney that he accidentally obtained this time!

There are only two ways to take Disney, one is to directly issue a tender offer and propose a total price to buy Disney's shares. The other is to collect Disney's shares into their own hands little by little, and when they hold more than 75% of the shares, they can directly choose to forcibly delist.

In the case of a tender offer, let's not mention that Zhang Fan can't come up with tens of billions of funds. Disney's dislike for itself alone is enough to make those shareholders choose to resist its takeover. Therefore, Zhang Fan can only choose to buy shares a little bit if he wants to buy Disney.

However, the law in the United States stipulates that individuals holding more than 5% of the shares must be registered for registration, and Zhang Fan does not want to attract Disney's attention so early. The shares were transferred to an offshore fund registered in Bermuda.

Bermuda is a haven for tax evasion, with countless fund and purse companies registered here. If you want to investigate the details of an offshore fund registered in Bermuda with a complex equity secret, it is estimated that only an organization of the CIA level can do it. Disney doesn't have that ability. Maybe they could spend a lot of money and have a chance to find out, but no one wants to pay for it.

After receiving a notice from Citibank that their pledged shares had been sold, Disney did investigate the offshore fund, but unfortunately Mao didn't find any of them.

"We don't know the details of this fund at all. If they have malicious intentions, it will make us very passive. At a board meeting at Disney, a haggard-looking Clouen suggested to the executives, "We should ask the professionals to thoroughly investigate the fund and see who bought our shares." ”

"There's no problem with the survey." Someone immediately answered: "But who will pay for the investigation?" It is impossible for such a large sum of money to go through public funds. What happened last time hasn't been smoothed out, and none of us will be able to get out of it if we do it again! ”

Everyone in the room didn't look good. Because of Christopher's drag, these people who were fooled into the futures market could only take out a certain amount of shares to mortgage to Citibank to offset the arrears. Among those who did it, except for a pure manager like Clounn, who had no shares, all of them had blood.

Now these people are in no mood to pay for such a thing except to curse Christopher incessantly. Originally, the shares that were taken out were also in the name of mortgage, after all, these people were thinking about saving some money from the company in the past two years and then redeeming the shares from Citibank. But I didn't expect Citibank to give it any face, and it was sold directly to some fund. Now let these people who have been complaining for a long time pay a lot of money to touch the bottom of this fund, no one will want to.

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's already like this, can we still think of getting these shares back?" There was an atmosphere of pessimism, resentment, and resentment in the room. Disney's recent streak of ups and downs, as well as this inexplicable loss in the futures market, have left these people infected with an atmosphere of pessimism. I don't have the spirit to do anything now.

"Alright." The chairman of the board of directors knocked on the table to draw everyone's eyes to him: "Let this matter be over." Let's now discuss the next production and release schedules. ”

Feeling the increasingly dull atmosphere in the conference room, Clounn couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although it is impossible to run a company, some of Disney's practices in recent times still make him feel unacceptable. Whether it is the continuous defeat in the film market or the inexplicable encouragement to join the futures market, it is an out-and-out failure. At this moment, he suddenly felt that if Zhang Fan hosted Disney, maybe he could do better?

"I said." Just when everyone began to discuss the work, Clouen suddenly said, "Christopher said that Zhang Fan has also invested a lot of money in the futures market, and the investment is completely opposite to ours. Now that we have serious losses, doesn't that mean that Zhang Fan has made a lot of money? ”

There was an instant silence in the meeting room. It's something that no one wants to think about. They originally wanted to make a lot of money and snatch away all Zhang Fan's good things. But in the end, the reality turned out to be that they themselves lost their underwear, but they fulfilled Zhang Fan. Although I don't know how much Zhang Fan made in this investment action, at least I can be sure that it is definitely more than what he lost!

"What do you mean by bringing up this topic?" The chairman of the board of directors frowned and looked at Crane, he didn't think that the usually steady Crane would suddenly say such a thing.

"Zhang Fan also made a futures investment at Citibank, and Zhang Fan made a lot of money this time, even more than we lost." Crown's words became clearer and clearer, and the elite-educated people in the conference room understood what he meant almost instantly, and everyone had a look of extreme shock on their faces.

"I mean, will it be Zhang Fan who buys our shares this time?" Cloun finally voiced the doubts in his heart.

There was an uproar in the conference room, it wasn't that no one thought of it, but everyone didn't want to believe it. It was only then that Cloun brought up the matter.

"Probably not." The chairman of the board of directors squinted his eyes and said, "Zhang Fan has his own well-developed film company, as well as Pixar. There is no need to buy our shares at all. And those shares, although not small, actually have no real meaning. Moreover, even though we have suffered setbacks recently, our market value has not fallen too much. Even if Zhang Fan made a lot of money, it was definitely not enough. ”

The chairman of the board of directors meant very simply, Zhang Fan's own film company was gaining momentum. Both live-action and animated films have a temporary overwhelming advantage over Disney. At this time, there is no need to buy Disney, which has a market value of tens of billions, and it does not have such strong financial resources. Even if Zhang Fan made a lot of money, it would not be enough to buy Disney. As for the 12.7% shares, it is indeed not small, but it is still not enough for the market value of the entire Disney.

"But this matter still needs to be investigated." The chairman of the board of directors nodded, "Since the cost of a full investigation is unaffordable for the time being, let's start with something else." The person in charge of Citibank, who is responsible for Zhang Fan's investment transaction and our mortgage equity transaction, should be able to find it, right? ”

It was difficult to fully investigate the Bermuda-domiciled fund, but it was not difficult to find the person in charge of the transaction. In contrast, it is even easier to spend a small amount of money to ask the person in charge directly, even than to conduct a large-scale full-scale investigation.

"Alright, that's the end of the conversation." The chairman of the board of directors changed the subject again: "Now let's talk about the next production and release schedules. ”

Although he didn't seem to pay much attention to it, the chairman of the board left Clone after the meeting: "You go and talk to the Citibank guy who is in charge of handling our mortgage shares." Ask about the details of that fund. ”

As Zhang Fan's strength continues to increase, his threat to Disney is also increasing. At this point, Disney has to face it squarely.

When Clouen came to Richard's house, the former investment manager, who had just left Citibank, told Clounn that he didn't know the real details of the other party, only that it was a foundation. I don't know anything else.

Although Richard was very tempted by the huge check that Cloune handed over, and he was very short of money right now. But after being in the industry for so long, Richard knows very well what money cannot be taken for.

If he really accepted Disney's money this time and sold Zhang Fan's information, then after the matter broke out, Zhang Fan didn't need to do anything, and Citibank would take the initiative to solve him. Previously, Citibank was ready to deal with him, an unruly employee. It was only because Zhang Fan unexpectedly agreed to buy Disney's mortgage shares that Richard escaped.

Richard is indeed very short of money now, and he also hates Zhang Fan, who lost 80 million US dollars. But he knew very well that if Zhang Fan hadn't taken the initiative to buy the shares and lost $80 million himself, Citibank would not have let him go so easily. After seeing Christopher's tragic situation on the news, Richard, who has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, still wants to be able to continue to live well.

Crown, who didn't get much useful information from Richard, wasn't for nothing. From Richard's greedy gaze and the choice he had to give up regretfully, he was already keenly aware that this time it was very likely that this time it was what he had guessed. It was indeed Zhang Fan who bought the mortgage shares of Disney through an anonymous fund.

At this time, Crawn remembered what Zhang Fan had said to himself before about his ambition to own Disney. At the time, it felt like a joke, but I didn't expect that now Zhang Fan has begun to realize it step by step!

Think about Disney's predicament right now and a series of low-level operations at the top. Cloun's mind has changed dramatically!

And in the end, the investigation of this matter ended with no action! 21010
