Chapter 648: It's Finally Here
"Don't worry, I have secretly absorbed a lot of shares of Standard Chartered in the past few years, and last year I was invited to serve as the white knight of Standard Chartered. In the manor on the outskirts of San Francisco, while looking at the grape trellises, Li Xu said to old Edward.
"That's fine, but what about after that?" asked old Edward.
"You can suggest to them that after a certain moment of truth, I'm going to take my time. Li Xu immediately replied.
"The moment of truth?" said old Edward with an interested look.
"I have news that the CIA is not very comfortable on that continent. Li Xu didn't hide it, and said it directly.
"So......" Daddy raised an eyebrow, as if he had guessed a few points.
"I can't be sure yet, but I trust my judgment, so I need Standard Chartered. Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, and then changed his words, "So, what about Morgan Jianfu, Dad?"
"No problem. Daddy replied very easily, "After driving that guy out of James, everything went very well." β
"Even so, before the final result comes out, don't be careless, you can seize the loophole to drive him down, and stand in the shadows. Now that you're in the open and in the dark, and he also has connections in the UK, it's still easy to stumble. β
"I know, II, I know. Daddy laughed.
Li Xu could only shrug his shoulders, the guy named James was the former CEO of Morgan Jianfu, although he was British, he had a very close relationship with Deutsche Bank. In another time and space, it was he who strongly advocated the sale of Morgan Jianfu to Deutsche Bank, so if Dad wanted to promote the merger of Da Mo and Jian Fu, he would be the first to be killed, and then replace it with a pro-Da Mo CEO.
Although even if James sits in that position, with his father's layout, he wants to promote the merger with Da Mo, he can still do it. But a pro-German guy sitting in the CEO's position and a pro-Damo guy sitting in the CEO's position have a completely different impact, and this merger and acquisition must not be lost for the old Edward.
Just like with the Standard Chartered shares in Li Xu's current hands, it is okay to want to promote the guarantee plan in three years, but there is no absolute advantage, and it will be very troublesome if someone deliberately makes trouble.
So he had to continue to buy some more shares, and he had to ask his father to send someone to support, after all, he was not good at the operation of the bank, which is why after the success of political speculation, he would release some Standard Chartered shares.
"Actually, don't worry too much about things in the UK, II, Gilbert and I have agreed that he will not drag his feet, and this year's things are the most important. Daddy said it again.
"Indeed......" Li Xu smacked his lips.
Financial markets are clearly overheated, and Wall Street's bigwigs are well aware of it, but they are largely indifferent, as they were in '29. For the real bigwigs, how to take advantage of the collapse is the right thing, and for the next executives, as long as they continue to beat the drum and pass the flowers, they don't explode in their own hands.
Therefore, all kinds of reports are very beautiful, if Li Xu didn't clearly know that the flashpoint was this year, he would probably believe that although the situation was very bad, it was not to the worst point.
If he can follow this opportunity to turn the tide, or make a big profit, then Dad's position in Da Mo will only become more and more stable, and it will be a great help to his plan.
It's a pity that although the financial market is currently overheated, there is no possibility of a crash yet, especially since several important nodes have not yet appeared, so we can only wait, but this is fine, because ......
"Hey, you father and son are here. A voice came, and then Aunt Audrey took Diana and came out of the grape trellis on the other side.
"Hey, Catherine, you look so good. Daddy greeted him as soon as possible, and Li Xu walked up to Diana: "How is it?"
"Not bad, Aunt Audrey liked it very much. Diana replied with a smile.
Then the two fathers and sons did not talk about work anymore, but coaxed their own women, and no one in the manor felt strange about the intimate chat between Audrey and old Edward, including Diana, anyway, it was not the first time.
That's one of the reasons why mothers don't like it here.
"I'm going to the mainland in a few days, Dinah. When he took a nap in the afternoon, he looked at his wife who was breastfeeding the third in the bedroom, Li Xu said.
"You're going out again?" Diana looked up at him, sighed, and drooped again.
"yes, work. As if he hadn't heard it at all, Li Xu sat down beside her and poked the little thing's face, "He's really greedy." β
Then the little thing that gulped it waved its arm, as if trying to open his father's hand in protest.
Diana burst out laughing, glad that her son could vent her anger for his mother, patted her gently, and then asked, "How long are you going?"
"At least a month and a half, the affairs of the mainland, the affairs of Hong Kong," Li Xu shrugged, "There is a record, why do you have to watch the birth in person to feel it." β
"What record?" asked Diana curiously.
Li Xu smiled but did not answer.

"Comrade comrade, let me ask, what kind of movie is that "Terror Train"?" asked the young man in front of the crowded ticket window to the conductor inside.
"Horror films. The other party replied impatiently.
"I know it's a horror movie, but ...... There's no plot to introduce it...... "The young man was a little embarrassed.
"If you go in and see it, you'll know," the other party became more and more impatient, "I said you, do you buy a ticket? There are a bunch of people in the back." β
"Yes, young man, get out of the way without buying a ticket, we'll all be waiting. The middle-aged man in the back said cooperatively.
"Okay, okay, four...... Four tickets to the Terror Train. The young man replied in frustration, took his ticket and hurried back to the door of the cinema.
"Why has it been so long, Liu Guangzhi?" said the long-haired girl in a plaid shirt.
"I'm sorry, the queue is a bit long, Xiaofen. Liu Guangzhi scratched his head embarrassedly,
"How's it going?" asked a big man next to him, holding another petite girl.
"No," Liu Guangzhi immediately made a bitter face, "It's almost the same as in the profile, and the conductor doesn't pay attention to it." β
The big man immediately rolled his eyes: "What's the use of you asking the conductor about these, all of them are like uncles, forget it, buy everything, just look at this, isn't it said that you have invited a very powerful stuntman or special effects artist from the United States? It's okay to seeβisn't it, Xiaoli?"
The last sentence was asked to his girlfriend, who nodded: "Then let's see." β
"Let's go, let's go, it's time to get in. The big man said immediately, and then gave Liu Guangzhi a look of "can only help here", and pulled his girlfriend inside.
"Xiao Fen, let's go in too. Liu Guangzhi said to Xiaofen very doggedly.
Looking outside, and then looking at the big man and Xiaoli who went inside, Xiaofen snorted: "Let's go." β
