Chapter 292: The European Consortium (5)

"Mr. Zhong, what you said is really feasible?"

In Madrid's Plaza de la Ville, Paulson followed Bell Stone and asked worriedly, "I'm afraid the whole thing won't work as well as I want." ”

"We have to do something, or we'll be too passive!"

Zhong Shi took out a dollar, took a bag of pigeon food from the people peddling in the square, squatted down and swept it casually, and suddenly the white pigeons in the square gathered, "Can you bear the loss of tens of millions of euros?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Paulson stopped talking with interest.

While tens of millions of euros is nothing for Paulson at the moment, it's a huge amount after all, and he has no reason to watch it evaporate.

After deliberating with the crowd on the phone, Chung made a beeline for the airport and made an urgent flight to Madrid, Spain's capital, where he met with Paulson, who was in charge of enforcement, to discuss how to leverage global financial markets.

Paulson has extensive connections in South America, and as a result, has an astonishing energy in their former overlords, Portugal and Spain. After receiving Zhong Shi's instructions, he urgently used the relevant connections, and finally found a suitable target.

"Are people already here?"

After teasing the pigeon for a while, Zhong Shi stood up silently, tightened his windbreaker, squinted his eyes and swept around the bustling crowd in the square, and then asked seemingly casually, "There is not much time left for us." ”

"I'll call and ask!"

Paulson quickly took out his phone and dialed a number, not to see his cautious attitude in front of Zhong Shi, but after answering the phone, he immediately changed to a different face, and his voice was very impatient in Spanish.

Less. After the communication, Paulson put away his phone, put on a flattering smile, and said, "Mr. Zhong, they will be there in fifteen minutes." Let's find a restaurant first and wait for them. ”

Zhong Shi nodded noncommittally.

After ordering dishes such as pilaf, steamed shells, cold vegetable soup and black pork ham, Bell and Paulson dine in a quiet restaurant. The Spanish people's work and rest habits are unique among the developed countries in the world. Generally, their morning is noon in other countries, and their lunch is equivalent to dinner in other countries, that is, at the same longitude, they work and live two or three hours or even more later than other countries.

It's a laid-back country.

"John, I'm coming!"

Twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man sweating profusely walked in, gasping for breath, and when he saw Paulson, he let out a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Paulson to say anything, he sat down in the seat next to him, while raising his wrist to look at his watch. "It's good that I'm not late."

He only saw Paulson, ignoring the bell stone at the table, and didn't even think of saying hello.

However, Zhong Shi didn't have the time to deal with him, and the taste of meat and rice was very suitable for his appetite, so he kept his head buried in fighting against the food in front of him. It wasn't until the other party said "not late" that he raised his head and looked at the other party carefully.

It was a middle-aged man with a beard, about forty years old, with curly brown hair. Blue eyes with high brow bones. The forehead is like the Mediterranean, and there is already a noticeable crown on the head.

After he sat down, he greeted the waiter, and then reached out to the black pork ham, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "John, don't you know that this is the time to sleep?" Thankfully, I was in Madrid last night. Otherwise, I won't see you today. ”

"It's 12:30."

Zhong Shi put down his knife and fork speechlessly, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and couldn't help but say, "It's still time to sleep?" ”

"Who is this?"

It was only at this time that the gentleman became aware of the existence of Zhongshi. After a quick chew of two bites, he stretched out his greasy hand to Zhong Shi, "Hello, I'm Jose. Louis, I don't know what you call it? ”

Zhong Shi looked at him in disgust, leaned back, took out the napple and wiped his mouth, avoiding the other man's gaze, and said to Paulson, "I'll go outside, you and this gentleman will enjoy lunch." Oh no, it's breakfast. ”

As soon as Zhong Shi's footsteps disappeared outside the restaurant, Paulson's face instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, and he said unhappily, "Jose, what's the matter with you?" ”

"What's going on?"

Jose. Louis was a little confused, scratched his head and asked, "I don't seem to have offended this gentleman, why is he angry?" ”

"Are you kidding?"

Paulson raised his voice, his voice sharp and urgent, "Do you know who he is?" God, I should have warned you sooner. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly took out his wallet, grabbed a handful of cash and threw it on the table without looking at the number, and walked away without looking at Jose.

“……”

At this time, Jose couldn't sit still, so he quickly got up and chased out.

"John, who the hell is he?"

After taking two quick steps to catch up with Paulson, Jose realized that Paulson was not in charge of the whole thing, and quickly asked Paulson, "I don't seem to have any place to provoke him, right?" John, what the hell is going on? ”

"Him?"

Paulson stopped abruptly, looked at the other party with anger on his face, and looked at the other party for a while, and only after a while did he let out a long sigh, poked his finger at the other party's head and said, "Do you think that the whole thing can't be done without you?" ”

Jose. Luis is the General Manager of Louis Wood in Spain, and as the third generation of the Louis family, he has been sent by the family to travel all over the world since he came of age. Paulson and Jose. Louis's father, James Rice. Louis has a good relationship, and the other party is one of his customers.

It was with this relationship that Paulson patted his chest in front of Zhong Shi and promised to complete the whole plan.

The Louis family has a fortune of about $500 million, which is considered a wealthy class in the United States. But compared to Paulson, who is soaring like a rocket, this asset is simply not enough.

So Paulson got angry, Jose. Louis panicked, knowing that he was not the only successor in the Louis family, his cousins, cousins, etc. were eyeing him. Waiting for him to make a mistake.

"Of course not!"

Jose. Louis's face changed drastically, and he was cloudy for a long time, and then he showed a flattering smile, "John, don't tell my father about this, otherwise I'll be finished." ”

"Hey......"

Paulson saw that the other party looked pitiful. Thinking of the whole plan again, he immediately decided to focus on the overall situation, and said lightly, "Come with me first and apologize to the other party." Mr. Zhong is not an unreasonable person, as long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, he will definitely forgive you. ”

Seeing that there is still room for things to go back, Jose. Louis secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

On the benches in the plaza, Paulson and a restless Louis found the bell stone, which was recuperating. Seeing that the other party's eyes had been staring at the white dove in the square, Louis seemed to realize something, and quickly bought a bag of pigeon food and carefully delivered it to Zhong Shi.

Zhong Shi raised his head in surprise, just in time to meet the other party's flattering eyes, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, nodded his head to the left and right, and motioned for the two to sit down.

"Did John tell you anything?"

After the two of them were seated. Zhong Shi then asked lightly, "I heard that you have a timber business in the Zaragoza region?" ”

"Yes."

Jose. Louis quickly replied. "Our family has a timber business in North Africa, which is processed in the Zaragoza region and sold all over the world through the Strait of Gibraltar."

"So you know a lot about CajaSur Bank?"

Zhong Shi continued to ask, "Tell me what you think." ”

"CajaSur Bank?"

Although Paulson had told the other party that he needed his assistance, by now Jose . Still unsure of what was going on, Louis immediately replied, confused, "It's a small regional savings bank." Asset size and business expansion are very limited. If it is settled locally, our funds are generally placed in this bank. However, if it is a cross-border transaction, we do not choose this bank for settlement. ”

"And I've heard recently that the bank seems to be in trouble. Of course, this is just heard. I haven't heard any definite news yet. But I'm already going to get people to end their business, after all, as you know, the economy in Spain as a whole isn't doing very well. ”

"How can we get this bank to fail in the fastest possible time?"

Zhong Shi nodded noncommittally and continued to ask, "I want this bank to fail in the shortest possible time, I don't know if you have any good solutions?" ”

"What?"

Until now, Jose. Only then did Louis understand Zhong Shi's intention, and immediately stood up with a big change in his face, and looked around cautiously to make sure that no one noticed this side before asking vigilantly, "Mr. Zhong, what do you want to do?" ”

Paulson has not made a formal introduction, but Jose. Louis already knew Bell Stone's last name, so he took the opportunity to say it.

"If you know who I am, don't you know what I'm doing?"

Glancing at the other party lightly, Zhong Shi calmly asked, "If you take over, will you be able to run CajaSur Bank into bankruptcy in a few days?" ”

Looking at Paulson, who looked indifferent, Jose. Louis suddenly realized what the other party was doing, and immediately his heart was hot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Three days, three days at most, maybe only two days, I can make CajaSur Bank run until I have to apply for protection." ”

"Good!"

Zhong Shi picked up the pigeon food and walked towards the center of the square, looking like he was going to feed the pigeons again.

"Hey, you haven't told me yet, what do I get?"

Jose. Louis stood up anxiously and shouted behind Zhong Shi, "It's impossible that I won't get anything, so I'll help you do this, right?" ”

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Paulson patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Now it's my turn to talk to you, say, what benefits do you want?" ”

"Tell me what the hell you're going to do?"

After a few rounds of blue eyes, Jose. Louis suddenly realized that it would not be easy for him to offer conditions. Unless you understand the other party's overall plan, you will definitely be in a disadvantageous position.

Information asymmetry.

"You don't need to know this!"

Paulson understood what was going on in his mind after thinking about it, and immediately turned straight on his face and said, "This is not something you can get involved in." Again, even if your father is here, I'm saying the same thing. Now, are you sure you still want to ask? ”

“……”

Although I wanted to know what was going on, even Paulson in front of me was an existence that the Louis family could not offend, not to mention that there was an unfathomable "Mr. Zhong" next to him. Louis put away the little caution in his heart and began to rack his brains to think about how to prescribe conditions that would maximize his own interests.

"I need to withdraw five times the annual interest on my deposit!"

I thought about it for a while, Jose. Louis then cautiously said, "That's a pretty fair price, isn't it?" ”

"Very fair indeed!"

Paulson smiled unkindly. (To be continued.) )
