The Wagner family only owns 3.85% of Wells Fargo's shares, which seems to be not worth much on the surface, but Wells Fargo's shares cannot be fully reflected by market value, which will promote the shareholders' status and influence in society to a higher level, and can also obtain many resources that outsiders cannot know.

Originally.

Tang Bao was still a little strange, how could Wagner, who was just the vice president of a financial company, be so open-minded, and now he finally knows the root cause.

"Wagner, then please communicate with Wells Fargo." Since he knew that Wagner had this relationship with Wells Fargo, Tang Bao would naturally not be polite.

"Don't worry, Don, I'll call Rand later, and if possible, I'll arrange a time for you to meet face-to-face." Wagner readily agreed, but it was very simple for him to just communicate and mediate. The family's stake in Wells Fargo may seem small, but it is also the ninth largest shareholder, has a seat on the board of directors, and has good relations with other shareholders.

Tang Bao nodded and said, "Well, okay, it would be better if we could meet!" ”

Recent.

Wells Fargo's president, Rand, keeps pulling East West Bank into the Chinese government, with sinister intentions and vicious methods.

on this.

Tang Bao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he wanted to sew Lante's mouth shut, but in a society with a high degree of freedom of speech in the United States, even if he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he didn't have any way to take Lante, and he didn't dare to do a little irrational thing easily.

Excessive reaction will only show your own weakness and give outsiders more excuses to be suspicious.

But.

If Rand continues like this, the lie will become the truth after being repeated a thousand times. Over time, the American public may form a certain imprint in their minds that East West Bank is related to the Chinese government. So even if there is no Wagner introduction. Tang Bao will also find a time to meet with Rant, and if nothing else, at least he has to shut up Rand and stop talking nonsense.

……

Then.

Tang Bao talked with Wagner for a long time, and said that his original purpose in coming to him was to show solidarity with East West Bank and introduce some American politicians.

"Uh, Don. It's okay for me to come out privately to support East West Bank, and I do know a few people when it comes to bringing in senior government officials, but I think you're looking for the wrong person on this matter. There are resources available around you. Sitting on Baoshan, but I don't know how to use it. ”

"Huh?"

Tang Bao was a little puzzled. He has also talked to many U.S. government officials, but he has only stayed at the level of talking, and has not had in-depth contacts at all.

"Hah...... Tang Dynasty. Looks like you really didn't get it. Lady Annette, do you remember, look for her? Wagner reminded.

Mrs. Annette!

Yes.

Tang Bao suddenly realized, slapped his head suddenly, and secretly blamed himself, why did he forget her. "Wagner. Your reminder is so timely. Thank you so much! ”

"It's okay, Don. Sometimes, when people are in a hurry, they may not be able to think rationally. It's also a mistake to think about the problem. Wagner laughed.

After a few more pleasantries with Wagner, Tang Bao left eagerly.

Wagner is quite right that in political circles, Mrs. Annette's energy is indeed going to throw off Wagner a few streets. Mrs. Annette is not in public office now. However, she was one of the leaders of President Reagan's campaign team, and arguably many high-ranking officials in the Reagan administration. They are all very familiar with her. If she could have come forward and said that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation had accepted East West Bank as soon as possible, then the crisis at East West Bank would have been resolved quickly.

Even.

The political whirlwind that the United States has started to be hostile to East West Bank and wants to wipe out East West Bank will be dismantled along with it.

"Nick, go to NYU."

Tang Bao sat in the car and commanded. He vividly remembered that Mrs. Annette had talked about staying at New York University as a professor after helping President Reagan run successfully.

"Yes, boss." Nick replied respectfully and started the car.

On the way to New York University.

Tang Bao had been thinking quietly, and even had a headache, what did he need to ask Mrs. Annette to help.

Money?

Tang Bao shook his head, Mrs. Annette only invested as much as fifteen million dollars in the Phoenix Pioneer Fund, and she was not short of money at all. Living at her level, she has everything she should have, she lacks nothing, and I'm afraid it's difficult to do something for others just for money.

Power?

This is even more unlikely, after she helped President Reagan run successfully, she retreated into the background, obviously not as much desire for power as she thought. What's more, Tang Bao is not as good as Mrs. Annette in this area.

Tang Bao pondered and meditated, exhausted his brain cells, and his mind ached faintly, but he couldn't find a suitable thing.

More precisely.

Tang Bao really didn't know what Mrs. Annette would be interested in.

"Boss, NYU has arrived." Just when Tang Bao's head was about to explode, Nick suddenly reminded. Then, Tang Bao was secretly surprised, so fast.

……

I found a student in the school and inquired about Mrs. Annette's office, and the other party was warm enough to take them over.

It didn't take a few minutes.

Tang Bao and Nick came to the door of Mrs. Annette's office, and immediately raised their hands and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Soon there was a friendly voice in the office, which was also Tang Bao's familiar voice. Tang Bao motioned for Nick to wait outside, and then pushed the door in.

"Hey, Mrs. Annette, I didn't disturb your work." Tang Bao looked at Mrs. Annette, who was immersed in writing and painting, and said with a smile.

"Don!"

Mrs. Annette raised her head and saw Tang Bao's smiling face, she was immediately surprised, and immediately stood up to greet her, "Don, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to be you." She thought she was her student, so she sat down and went about her business.

Then.

Mrs. Annette hurriedly beckoned Tang Bao to sit down and poured him a glass of water herself.

"Well, Mrs. Annette, you should have heard about East West Bank." After organizing the language a little, Tang Bao went straight to the point.

"Don, this is a big failure for you." Mrs. Annette nodded calmly and said.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face, but he had nothing to say about it.

"Tell me, how can I help you?" Seeing the bitterness on Tang Bao's face, Mrs. Annette knew that Tang Bao was in a bad mood, so she did not continue to sprinkle salt on the wound.

Forehead.

Tang Bao was slightly stunned, Mrs. Annette's performance completely exceeded his expectations, but it was also a big surprise for Tang Bao. Mrs. Annette's attitude shows that she has no idea of shirking and staying out of the matter, and is willing to help.

"The root cause of the run on East West Bank was the failure to pay deposit insurance. I hope that I can enroll in the insurance as soon as possible and solve the problem once and for all. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation seems to be deliberately delaying ......," Tang Bao explained his thoughts to Mrs. Annette in detail.

"Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation?" Lady Annette asked.

"yes, they got stuck. If this problem is solved, the run on East West Bank will be resolved quickly. Tang Bao nodded and said.

After speaking.

The room fell silent, and Mrs. Annette frowned slightly, thinking about something, while Tang Bao waited quietly and did not disturb.

The whole room felt as if it was frozen.

About 10 minutes have passed.

Mrs. Annette said: "Don, the crisis of East West Bank is not as simple as you imagined, and it is far from enough to pass the hurdle of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States. ”

Far from enough......

Tang Bao's eyes showed a look of confusion, he didn't understand Lady Annette's words. "Mrs. Annette, what do you think East West Bank needs to solve?"

"Don. Don't be unconvinced, there are indeed many problems in East West Bank, and if you don't deal with it well, you may face the dilemma of bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and even it will have an unbearable impact on you......" Mrs. Annette said with a smile, but her words made Tang Bao a little unable to laugh.

Even.

Tang Bao's heart began to become cramped and uneasy.

"East West Bank, which did not pay deposit insurance, and a run on the bank broke out, which can only be regarded as a fuse. And it's the one that lights this fuse that needs your attention. As far as I know, East West Bank has been in a whirlpool of various ways lately, with a lot of negative news, and many people don't want East West Bank to continue to exist. To be more precise, a lot of people don't want you to get involved in the U.S. banking industry and snatch the cake. ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded helplessly, "Mrs. Annette, I understand all this. However, I had to defuse the run on East West Bank before I could deal with the other issues with peace of mind. You're right, the rapid rise of East West Bank may have offended the interests of others, and it has also aroused the sensitive nerves of some politicians. ”

"Hmm. You can think of so many questions, that's right. East West Bank's resolution of the run is just the beginning...... There may be political problems ahead. You should know that the United States attaches great importance to the stability of the financial system, and will not sit idly by and watch a run on one bank, especially in the stage of the outbreak of the banking crisis, and the nerves of the people are very sensitive, so it is impossible to allow a run crisis, because it is very likely to drag other banks to run on the crisis together. However, in the face of the run on East West Bank, the government has not taken any action on it, what signal does this send, Don, you have to think about it. Lady Annette said.

By the time Tang Bao had digested it, it was almost finished.

Mrs. Annette spoke again: "The matter of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company in the United States is the best solution. It's hard to see if your competitors and members of Congress who are hostile to East West Bank will stop there. What's even more difficult is what the White House's attitude toward East West Bank is.
