Chapter 1759: How Did This Trick Change?
. YZuu. Reading novels will go to Ye Zi Yoyo~.yzuu. Reading novels will go to Ye Zi Yoyo~ Countless people can't believe that in just one day, the world's largest investment bank and the world's second largest bank: J.P. JPMorgan Chase Bank of the United States has one more mysterious shareholder, and it is also the shareholder who can rank third in terms of share ratio
Countless people watched all this complicatedly, waiting for the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family to move, they did not believe that the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family could watch someone so brutally put their hands into their bowls to grab food: how could it be? How is that possible? This is the behemoth of the two most powerful consortia in the world, and it was so easily snatched up?
Although it is not a complete acquisition of the ownership of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, for many people, this lightning acquisition has to a certain extent announced that the rule of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family over J.P. Morgan Chase Bank and the American financial industry is no longer so unbreakable
Inside the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, the atmosphere is very heavy at this moment
The strength of this guy who suddenly appeared was beyond everyone's imagination, and the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, who originally thought it was the money they were giving themselves, did not expect that almost in the blink of an eye, the meat in their bowl was snatched by others, so fast that they didn't have time to react at all
The patriarchs of the two major families are a little aggrieved in their hearts, this bastard is completely out of common sense, if this bastard plays cards according to the rules of the previous game, where will there be today's passive situation?
These two old guys obviously forgot that the so-called "playing cards according to common sense" game rules in their mouths were formulated by themselves, and when others were not as strong as them, they naturally had to play according to the rules of the game they formulated, but if their opponents' strength was much better than theirs, why should they play according to the rules they formulated?
No matter who this guy is, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family at this moment are eager to eat his flesh and break his bones
"Wait," said old Morgan coldly on the phone with old Rockefeller, "since this bastard dares to stand up and snatch our shares, then he will definitely stand up, and if he dares to stand up, we will be able to take his life"
Even today, the elder Morgan is still very confident in his own strength, this self-confidence has reached a bit of a blind point, you can say that he is not good at brains, but it must be admitted that this kind of self-confidence is the inevitable product of a family after a hundred years of standing, any family, if it can hold on for so long, and always maintain prosperity, they will also have this self-confidence
"We need to redo some deployment, I feel like this guy is probably not very easy to deal with," Rockefeller Sr. was not so optimistic, "If it was a simple person, it wouldn't have made us so embarrassed this time"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The opportunity that Rockefeller Sr. and Morgan Sr. had been waiting for, and a week later, the guy who had bought nearly 9 percent of J.P. Morgan Chase called and asked J.P. Morgan to hold a board meeting because "our boss wants to meet with the directors."
According to the provisions of the "Company Act" in the United States, when any company adds a shareholder with a controlling ratio of more than 8%, the shareholder has the right to request the company to convene a board of directors, although J.P. JPMorgan Chase Bank is a bank, he is also a company, there is no doubt about this, not to mention, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family also want to meet this mysterious director, and let this guy know that the mystery is called "rules"...... The rules of the world's financial game set by the Morgan and Rockefeller families
"Let's see what the hell is sacred," Morgan Sr. said to Rockefeller Sr
A week later, the board of directors of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank met as scheduled, and a convoy of three of the longest Rolls-Royce Phantoms as the core slowly stopped at the gate of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank's headquarters in the center of Wall Street
When Alice appeared on the board of directors of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States, the mystery in everyone's hearts was dissipated like a cloud, and everyone suddenly realized: yes, besides Alice Group, who else on this planet has such strong money and strength? ,
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're meeting again, I'm so glad to see you all here," Alice smiled and stood at the door of the luxurious conference room, greeting all the directors in the room, and her bright smile made the light in the room seem to be much brighter
How could it be her? Old Morgan and Old Rockefeller looked at Alice standing at the door, dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, with mixed feelings in their hearts: they expected the possibility that the people who came were various identities, but they didn't think about it, what if the person who came was Alice, the demon of the economic world, in their impression, it was necessary to deal with the Japanese Alice Group with all their might, and it was impossible to draw such a huge amount of money to deal with the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium at the same time, but the world was unpredictable, and no one expected that, The person who was originally the most unlikely in their hearts has now become the happiest one standing in front of them and laughing
These truths are not only understood by the elder Morgan and the elder Rockefeller, but also by the directors here, but after understanding, the directors in the room are extremely bitter: Could it be that even at this critical time, the Alice Group has the strength to deal with other problems? How powerful is Alice's hand?
For a moment, the faces of the directors in the entire room, large and small, all changed
"Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, aren't you welcome to see me?" The old Morgan and the old Rockefeller sat there a little out of shape, and Alice greeted the old Morgan and the old Rockefeller like a victor
"Of course, welcome" Old Morgan is an old man, in less than a minute, he adjusted his psychological state, there was no trace of unhappiness on his face, and he said to Alice with a smile, "Miss Alice can come to our J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, which is the most desirable thing for all of our colleagues...... It's just that when J.P. Morgan Chase Bank was just established, we invited Miss Alice to take a stake in J.P. Morgan Chase, and Miss Alice seemed a little inconvenient at that time, why ...... now? β
Old Morgan's words are very interesting, when we invited you and you didn't come, now when we don't welcome you, you are forced to squeeze in, here...... Hehehehe......
"Well, what Mr. Morgan said is very true," Alice nodded without moving in the face of the old Morgan's hidden needle, but the words she said were extremely sharp, "When J.P. Morgan Chase Bank was just established, the world economy was booming, and opportunities to make money were everywhere, and the little woman was naturally not good at grabbing food with the old-timers, but now is not the beginning, the international economic situation is getting worse and worse, and there are still a large number of people to feed under his handsβ
In 2000, the economy was booming? The current economic situation is not good? The directors couldn't help but curse in their hearts: nonsense, no matter how good the economic situation was in 2000, was it better than the current one?
The directors were unhappy, but the old Morgan and the old Rockefeller naturally understood the deep meaning of Alice's words: In 2000, you didn't mess with me, and everyone was naturally fine, but now you are thinking of stabbing Ben girl in the back, and that Ben girl naturally can't be cheap, you bastards
In the face of Alice's words, the directors present were all speechless
The original decision to stab Alice Group in the back was made by them together, and now not only did they not stab anyone, but the guy they wanted to stab snatched their own knife and stabbed themselves backhand...... Tsk, when I thought of this, everyone couldn't help but have a fever on their faces when they were furious: their strength is not as good as others, and bullying people is not a matter of being bullied, what else is there to say?
"Okay, then...... Miss Alice, welcome to J.P. Morgan Chase Bank," a short exchange, knowing that there was nothing to take advantage of in words, the elder Morgan wisely quickly changed the subject, and since the person who came was not his own or anyone present could stop it, then he acquiesced in the occurrence of this situation, "According to the relevant regulations and the proportion of shares, Miss Alice, you are the third largest shareholder of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, and you have a seat on the board of directors of the company, I don't know if you are a director yourself, or if you are ......"
Old Morgan relented and conceded defeat, and Alice breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course I am the director's seat, but ......",
At this, Alice paused
A room full of old cattle suddenly looked happy, in their minds, Alice's next sentence must be: "But unless it's a major matter, I won't attend the meeting" and something like that is understandable, after all, Alice's family has a big business, and the number of assets in her hands is not very clear so far.
But alas, Alice disappointed the guys, "I don't show up here very often, but my agent shows up here when I'm not there"
How so? The directors, who were still happy just now, suddenly looked disappointed
Alice, the damn son, why doesn't she play her cards according to common sense?
Looking at the depressed expressions on the faces of the old men in a room, Alice's face was very happy with a smile: The county lord has made such a big capital, so naturally he has to play a corresponding role, and he wants the old lady to make you a wedding dress? Kill you old immortals
"Of course, this is reasonable," compared with the agents of other families or consortia present, the old Rockefeller, who is much deeper in the city government, is naturally not comparable to these scraps, as if he doesn't care about everything that happened before, the old Rockefeller laughed, "Miss Alice has a lot of estate, and it is completely okay to send an agent to attend the board meeting, but I don't know what else Miss Alice has...... Well, you might as well say it all along with it."
I have been waiting for your words for a long time, and I have long expected that the old Rockefeller will inevitably show favor to himself after discovering that things are not possible, Alice said unceremoniously, "Since Mr. Rockefeller said so, well, I'm sorry, then I really have a small request: now my Alice Group has a tight amount of money, In accordance with the rules governing the management of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, I, as the third largest shareholder of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, I implore the board of directors to approve my two-year interest-free loan of $40 billion from the bank."
After listening to Alice's words, the old Rockefeller was depressed, and Alice's words made the old Rockefeller want to smash his mouth: It's okay, what kind of mouth do you have to look at, and provoke the matter?
How so? Alice's words knocked on the heads of the directors like a slap in the head, knocking all the directors into the eyes
This Alice, too shameless and shameless? Can you even make such a request? Yes, the company has such a rule, according to the corresponding articles of association of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank of the United States, the shareholders of the company, and of course the shareholders who occupy a seat on the board of directors, are entitled to withdraw a part of the interest-free loan from the company for a short period of time when needed, for a maximum period of two years, without security, and up to a maximum of 80% of the total value of the shares held by the director
This is also understandable, what is the purpose of opening a bank? In addition to making money, isn't it just for the convenience of using money for yourself? Don't say that it's just to withdraw some money from the bank in the short term, even if it's to help shareholders launder money, transfer assets, etc., everyone often does, but ...... There has never been a precedent for a director who has just joined the board of directors to ask for this clause to be used
Almost instantly, everyone understood what Alice wanted to do: the money was pumped out and transferred to the Japanese financial market, and once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese government
Alice's condition can't help but agree, but what happens after agreeing? It means that Alice paid almost nothing, and got the position of the third largest shareholder and a director of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank
What does this call him **, not only the old Morgan and the old Rockefeller are extremely depressed, but even the other directors present are also depressed Although this rule is recognized by everyone, but unless it is at a critical moment for the interest group to which they belong, this preferential clause for directors has hardly been used, but what about Alice? This is not yet sitting in the position of a director, and so much money has to be withdrawn back
Is there any reason left?
Is there still a conscience?
Are we robbers or is Alice robbers?
At this moment, all the directors were extremely indignant in their hearts, and everyone felt as if there was a fire burning in their chests
But to turn down Alice's request? There is no reason why there is no such precedent in the past, but the regulations do not say that shareholders who have just become directors cannot use this special clause for directors. ,
What can I do? The directors immediately felt that Alice's request was extremely tricky: refusal? No reason for refusal could be found; Agree? If you agree, where will you spread this anger in your heart?
Looking at the directors who turned into a swarm in an instant, Alice couldn't help but sneer: Hmph, when the Alice Group has so many tens of billions of dollars, is it so easy to take it, do you want to stab the Alice Group in the back? Doesn't there be a price to pay when the knife is finished?
Looking at the directors arguing there, Alice took the seat she had assigned to sit down...... This represents the position of the third shareholder of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank in the United States
Morgan Sr. and Rockefeller Sr. undoubtedly thought much further than the directors below
Although the old Morgan and the old Rockefeller had the same grievance and anger in their hearts, they knew that no matter what angle they tried to prevent Alice from getting the money, it would be impossible to succeed Since it was already impossible to do anything, it was better to directly follow Alice's wishes and lend her the money, which could show her favor on the one hand, and resolve the previous embarrassment on the other hand
Neither of them was stupid, and they had already figured out in this short period of time why Alice suddenly did this: it was a warning to her previous behavior, warning herself and others not to make small moves in the future
Although Alice's approach was despicable, they both understood that if Alice didn't go along with her, what would happen next was something they could not predict...... I had speculated before that when Alice was at war with the Japanese, in the face of external provocations, the safest way was to shrink her forces, but what was the result? became his own partner
As for the responsibility, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, the top priority is to settle this little aunt and grandmother first
Thinking of this, the elder Morgan spoke first, "I have no opinion on Miss Alice's request"
"I have no opinion" The old Rockefeller, who is also a human spirit, will naturally not lag behind, and after the old Morgan, he also made his own statement
How did this trick change? After the two bosses expressed their positions one after another, the directors below who were still chattering before were dumbfounded: Didn't the two bosses still think about how to clean up Alice before, why did their attitude suddenly take a 180-degree turn, from cleaning up Alice to supporting Alice?
All the directors didn't figure it out
A satisfied smile appeared on Alice's face
