The crisis has only just begun, and as time goes on, more and more banks will be drawn into the maelstrom...... As soon as Tang Bao's interview broke out, the already panicked market became even more panicked, and real estate stocks and bank stocks accelerated their plummeting again.

Arguably.

This round of stock price collapse was deeply affected by Tang Bao.

"Tut-tut...... Boss, the market reacted so much to your statement that even the stock prices of the big banks with solid stock prices fell. ”

Robert sighed with a sigh.

"Heh, it was also unexpected." Tang Bao said with a smile that he had long been eager to get this kind of terrifying influence that could shake the market with a word in the capital market. It's just that he didn't expect that he would inadvertently achieve his wish. However, Tang Bao also understands very well that the reason why this effect can be achieved is probably due to the successful "prediction" of the banking crisis in the United States.

……

"I remain convinced that there will be no crisis in the U.S. banking sector. Don's remarks are very ridiculous, even alarmist, and have seriously disrupted the US stock market and caused bank stocks to suffer violent fluctuations, which is very unreasonable and should not be, and the government should shut him up! ”

"Don is deliberately creating market panic for his own benefit......"

"Well, if you are a little more careful, you will find that after the outbreak of this so-called 'crisis', it was Tang who benefited the most, and he was still panicking, and he successfully merged three banks, and the acquisition price was very low. The U.S. Treasury Department should take a serious look at whether these mergers and acquisitions are legal! ”

"This is a conspiracy of Don. He is relying on creating an atmosphere of panic to achieve his goal of buying Bank of America at a low price! ”

"The U.S. government should tighten its management and scrutinize mergers and acquisitions in the financial sector. In particular, capital mergers and acquisitions from abroad ......"

"Don is robbing the banks of the United States with impunity!"

"As a Pennsylvania senator, I want to make it clear to Don that Pennsylvania does not welcome his hostile investments......"

……

Tang Bao's high-profile remarks caused a violent panic in the market, and at the same time, it also angered some radical politicians in the United States. They stood up and strongly criticized Tang Bao's words and deeds. appealed and proposed to restrict Tang Bao's investment, as if Tang Bao had become their enemy overnight.

"This ......"

Look at this sudden situation. Tang Bao was stunned, completely unthinking that just telling the truth would cause a strong backlash from so many politicians.

"Boss. In the past two days, the wind has been a little wrong, and there are legislators and government figures from all over the country who have come out to speak out. It's very bad for East West Bank and for you. Winnieberg said with some trepidation. It seems that everyone jumped out to besiege and attack Tang Bao tacitly overnight.

"Huh, does this remark have any impact on East West Bank's subsequent acquisitions?" Tang Bao didn't care if someone criticized him, no one was perfect, and it was impossible for everyone to like him. He is most concerned about whether this anti-"Tang" storm will hinder East West Bank's expansion.

"Well, it hasn't affected yet. Although there are many people who have jumped out, the political influence of these people is very limited. But there are troubles, especially Senator Hillencott of Pennsylvania, who is very tough on you. Make it clear that you are not welcome to invest in Pennsylvania! ”

Robert reminded that since the storm "Don" was triggered in an instant, he has been carefully observing the direction of the wind. Keep track of how things are going.

"Oh?"

Tang Bao frowned slightly. The influence of state senators is very terrifying in their state, and if they forcibly get along with Tang Bao, it will be really troublesome.

At least a little.

Any acquisition of East West Bank that involves Pennsylvania may be vetoed. "Hillencott......" Tang Bao whispered the name.

"Hmm. The owner, Hillenkot, is very xenophobic. Earlier, there were similar remarks, and investors in Japan, Britain and other countries were criticized by him. So as long as he doesn't put a formal bill in Congress, there is no real threat. I'm afraid that he won't just talk about it, but also go to the Congress! ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao also nodded approvingly.

He also knows that some US congressmen, in order to increase their exposure and put on a show, often make some astonishing remarks, but they are all rhetorical and cannot be taken seriously.

But.

He can't completely ignore it, because sometimes he will unexpectedly magnify something that seems to be very ordinary.

"Boss, regardless of what Hillencott thinks, I suggest that East West Bank's acquisition plan bypass Pennsylvania for the time being."

Robert cautiously suggested.

"I agree!"

Winnieberg also nodded and agreed, originally, they don't need to care so much about a senator's remarks, but the key is that East West Bank does have a special place, although it is a native American bank, but its controlling shareholder is Chinese, Tang Bao.

A little careless.

Maybe someone will take it out and talk about it, and then it will be out of control.

"Hmm. Just do as you say! Tang Bao nodded helplessly.

Then.

The phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Tang Bao glanced at Robert and motioned for him to answer the phone. After all, this is Robert's office, and the phone must be looking for him.

"Hey, hello, East West Bank." Robert picked up a red phone on the left side of his desk and said. "Oh, the boss is here, wait a minute, I'll ask him to come and answer the phone."

After speaking.

Robert put the microphone on the table.

"Huh?" Tang Bao, who was sitting not far away, wondered very much in his heart how the phone call looking for him had reached Robert's office.

"Who is it?" Tang Bao asked with a smile.

"Ugh. of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Roots, of which he is a member. Robert lowered his voice and reminded that the phone not far away had not yet hung up.

"...... the Securities and Exchange Commission?" Tang Bao was surprised.

"Boss?"

Robert gestured with his eyes that the phone hadn't hung up yet, and that he wanted to send it away.

"Heh, since you came here, you can't hide forever if you don't say it's here, let's see what they mean." Tang Bao said with a smile.

He is confident that he has always followed the rules and has nothing to leave to the other party. So even if the SEC finds him on the head, he has nothing to worry about.

"Hey. Hello, Mr. Roots, I'm Tang Bao. Tang Bao picked up the phone and said calmly.

"Hello, Don."

Roots also greeted politely.

Then.

He directly turned to the topic and said: "Tang, recently, your remarks have seriously disrupted the financial order, I hope you can keep a low profile." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Roots meant, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "Hehe, Mr. Roots, I don't understand what you mean." ”

"Forehead ......"

Roots was stunned, as if he didn't expect Tang Bao to come to such a hand. A little annoyed, secretly thinking, and pretending to be crazy and stupid with me, I couldn't help but aggravate my tone: "Don, your crisis remarks have caused trouble to many banks in the United States, and their company's stock prices have become violently volatile, I hope you don't say anything like that again, so as not to cause further market panic." ”

"Mr. Roots, the United States is a country of free speech, and I don't break the law by saying anything, right?" Tang Bao said with a faint smile.

"Yes, you can say your own. But I hope you don't! Roots suggested sincerely.

"Hehe......"

Tang Bao laughed.

on this.

Roots was annoyed, he hated the laughter. He added: "Hmph, Tang, if you continue to deliberately spread rumors and disrupt the financial order, we will consider investigating Phoenix Investment Group." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, investigating Phoenix Investment Group, why?

"Huh. Don, we've noticed that Phoenix Investment Group frequently shorts bank stocks, and we have reason to suspect that you are deliberately creating panic in the market. While this is not a violation of the rules, it will certainly yield something if the SEC investigates......" Roots warned.

"Grass."

Tang Bao was so angry that he scolded secretly, he could guarantee that his operation was not in violation, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the Securities and Exchange Commission was also fair.

And Roots' words are clear.

As long as the U.S. Securities Commission wants to trouble him, it will definitely be able to find fault. Tang Bao is convinced of this.

Call.

Tang Bao took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart and gradually calm himself down. He understands that with his little foundation, it is still too tender to confront the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

"What do you want, Mr. Roots?" Helpless, Tang Bao chose to compromise temporarily. He doesn't have the capital to argue with the SEC.

"Huh. Tang Dynasty. You can think so! Seeing Tang Bao loosen his mouth, Roots was in a good mood, and his tone became much softer.

Then.

Roots' request, or rather warning, would be more appropriate: "Don, I hope you can keep a low profile and don't make any statements in front of the media that cause panic in the market." Well, in addition, I kindly remind you that there is no harm in keeping a low profile for you, and it can save you a lot of trouble. ”

"Okay, thank you for the advice!" Tang Bao hung up the phone, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

……

"Boss?"

Robert, Winnieberg, and Nick looked at Tang Bao's face and suddenly turned gloomy, and they were all a little worried, they didn't know the specific content of the conversation.

Call.

Tang Bao quickly adjusted his mood, and then roughly explained the content of the conversation.

"Boss, it seems that Phoenix Investment Group doesn't have any record of violations, right?" Nick hesitated.

"Oh, that's good. It was because they couldn't catch any tricks that they warned me privately, if they had any evidence in their hands, they were afraid that they would come directly to the door, and they wouldn't be so easy to talk to. Tang Bao said coldly. (To be continued) R655
