"Are you mistaken, we welcome loans, but with such a high interest, I'm afraid ......" Although the person who came was a little strange, Leo still decided to treat him politely, he knew that in the past two days, because of the resolute counterattack of the United Group, many people in the banking world looked at him unpleasantly, and he would have to mix in this circle in the future, and his personality was not as aggressive as Contini, so he had to put down his body and have a good relationship with the local snakes.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, just make a phone call and ask President Ziano if he can take out a loan." The other party cocked Erlang's legs and said confidently.

"This ......"

"Let's fight...... If it's inconvenient, I can avoid it for a while......"

"Not really." Leo was a little embarrassed by what he said, and immediately picked up the phone and called Contini, "The president, Mr. Francisco, the president of the Southern Bank, is here, and he said that he wants to give us a loan, but the interest rate is 8%!" ”

“8%？” Contini was stunned, "Don't, don't...... Crazy isn't it! politely rejected him, saying that there was a chance to cooperate next time...... Slow...... Slow! ”

He suddenly remembered something and shouted, "What did you say his name was?" In which bank? ”

"Mr. Francisco, Bank of the South...... What's wrong? ”

Well, the debt collector came, Contini secretly complained, but he didn't dare to say anything on the phone, only said vaguely: "I agreed to the conditions, but you let this gentleman come to me first, no, no, you personally accompany Mr. Francisco to me." ”

"Calais, what's wrong?" He asked in a low voice, Francisco was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window looking at the surrounding scenery, just with his back to him.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you come." Contini cried and laughed, "Be polite ......"

This attitude made Leo scratch his head for a moment, but listening to Contini's tone, it seemed that he was still quite afraid of the comer, so he put down the phone, stood up with a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Francisco, the president is very interested in this loan, let me go to his office with you and sit down." ”

"Doesn't seem to be bad...... Francesco nodded, and without any special expression, he followed Leo away.

Before he reached the door of the president's office, Leo had already noticed Contini squeezing out of it, and while stretching out his hand to greet him, he greeted warmly: "Uncle is here, please sit, please sit down......"

"Uncle?" Leo looked strangely at Contini and then at Francisco, even more puzzled.

Contini introduced the two in embarrassment: "Leo, this is Vivian's father, you can also call him uncle; Uncle, this is Leo, also an alumnus of the University of Rome. ”

"Oh!" Leo came back to his senses, it turned out to be Vivian's father, no wonder he had the audacity to break in - well, His Excellency the President has a handle in the hands of others, and Vivian's affairs are not clear to the outside world, how can their classmates from the University of Rome not know?

There is a debtor who has been wronged, and now the creditor has come to collect the debt.

Francisco nodded towards Leo: "I've heard Vivian mention you and say you're very capable...... Except for President Ziano, she admires you the most among these classmates. ”

"Where, where, you have won the prize, where am I compared to Calais?"

Francisco nodded, glanced at Contini, and said angrily: "He's just too capable, that's why he made so many things." ”

"Uncle, we have something to say, we have something to say......" Contini hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Did Vivian call you?"

"Hit."

"Do you know about that?"

Contini lowered his head in embarrassment and said sullenly: "Know! ”

"Okay, what are you going to do with it?"

"This ......" The domineering president who has always had sharp teeth and sharp teeth was actually stuck, and Ai Ai was speechless for a long time.

Leo felt embarrassed when he saw them playing dumb riddles, and hurriedly said, "Why don't I avoid it first?" ”

Contini just wanted to say yes, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and he had to find someone to help him speak at the critical moment, Leo was two levels higher than him, one level higher than Vivian, and he was a senior for anyone, and it was more convenient for him to speak, and he would know about it sooner or later, so he hurriedly said: "You invite Uncle Antonio, and we will discuss it together......

As soon as Leo walked away and closed the door, Francisco became angry, slammed it on the table and shouted: "I know that you and Vivian are in love, there are a lot of rumors in the outside world, it doesn't matter if you refuse to marry her, young people are free to fall in love, I know, I'm not young." However, you shouldn't have let her get pregnant, it's been more than 4 months by now - if it weren't for the credit crisis you tossed, I, as a father, would still be in the dark! You're trying to me off! ”

"Also, you are like this to her, in vain she is still infatuated with you, not only to get all the money back in the US stock market to help you through the difficulties, but also to beg me to help you...... If she hadn't been able to go home this time, I wouldn't have known about it, so how long are you two going to hide it? Do you really think that other people are blind? ”

"I'm sorry uncle, it was an accident! I really don't know, I didn't know until I returned home. Contini hung his head and did not dare to say anything to argue.

Before going to the United States with Ida, Contini told Adriana and Vivian, and said that it was inconvenient to take the two of them there, and the two young anchors certainly felt wronged, but the grievances were wronged, and the overall situation was taken into account. But the thought of not seeing Contini for months made it impossible to resist the last line of defense - in fact, it had already gone off fire many times, and it was only a matter of time before it fell.

Adriana was fine, but Vivian was shot - when Contini came back, he told him that he was pregnant, and because Contini only arrived at the end of October, he was 4 months pregnant, and his lower abdomen was already slightly bulging......

Contini was shocked, but it was too late to worry, and there was also the matter of the United Group's creditworthiness. Vivian, on the other hand, was worried that the United Group would not be able to survive this difficulty, so he threw away all the $200,000 he had invested in the United States to get it back, and at the same time went home to beg his father, who was a banker, to lend a hand.

Vivian was $200,000 when she left, she was more daring than Contini, and she went directly to 4 times leverage, but she entered the market a little later, so she didn't double as much as Contini, but even so, when it was delivered at the end of October, $200,000 had swelled to more than $6 million, and she did not hesitate to throw it all away and remit it to Italy, and at the same time was ready to ask her father to provide another 180 million lira, intending to raise 300 million to support Contini.

Francisco was very calm: firstly, he said that 300 million was not enough to save the United Group, and secondly, although he was the president of the Southern Bank, it was not a casual decision to transfer 180 million lira at one time; Shocked, she immediately told her husband.

Now it's okay, when I think that my only daughter has not yet been married, someone will make her belly bigger, and the other party will not only refuse to marry but also let her daughter take out the money and paste it upside down, the sky and thunder will stir the fire, Francisco will be angry on the spot, and finally the joint order of the Ministry of Finance and the central bank calmed him down, and Contini's $50 million in Switzerland also calmed him down.

He admitted that he couldn't fight this young man by fighting hard, and he couldn't do anything about Contini except for his own disgraced face, so he decided to endure it for a few days, and only came to Xingshi to ask for guilt until the overall situation was basically over.

"Ah, an old friend is here, please sit down, please sit down...... Antonio soon arrived at the office, looking at the embarrassed Contini and the angry Francisco, and thinking of the name Vivian suggested by Leo, he easily guessed the truth, thinking in his heart: Young master, this matter ...... Alas...... How so...... Alas...... I really don't know what to say. I thought so, but I had to pretend to be casual on my face, desperately trying to get close to Francisco.

After all, Vivian is not the daughter of an ordinary family, her father is a well-known figure in the banking industry, if it weren't for Contini's current position and importance, Antonio even thinks that marrying Vivian is a good family matter, but at the moment this sentence must not be mentioned, in case it is mentioned, who will inherit the anger on Mussolini's side?

"You also know the situation, my young master is like this, the marriage can no longer be decided by himself, and forcing himself to make his own decisions will cause more trouble, not only for him, but also for Vivian, and even for the two families...... "Antonio said in a calm tone, "But Calais must have done something wrong in this matter, I asked him to talk to you and give you a compensation plan, what do you think?" ”

"Say!" Francisco squeezed a word out of his teeth.

"I believe that even if my illegitimate child is raised by his mother, I will not treat the two of them badly, and when I have enough status and ability in the future, I will definitely take care of them equally." Contini hurriedly said, "The United Group is a company founded by me, so I will allocate 5% of the shares of Vivian as a guarantee for her future life...... As for the rest, I can only ask you to cover it up. ”

According to the market value estimate, the United Group is worth at least $200 million, and according to the investment estimate, it may be worth more, and 5% is more than $10 million.

Francisco nodded slightly and added, "Give Vivian 10% ......"

Antonio was shocked, 10% is not a small amount.

Francisco added: "Of course it wasn't for nothing, I put that $6 million into it!" ”

"10% is 10%." Contini's mind was spinning: this was equivalent to Vivian investing more than $6 million to get more than $20 million worth of equity, netting $15 million. Although feelings cannot be measured by money, when the name cannot be given, it can only be given money - besides, more than 20 million is only the current value, and the United Group is afraid that it will not be able to rise to a higher situation in the future.

"In addition, I am going to give my uncle 2% of the shares of United Financial, and I hope you will become the president of Union Bank."

"I don't have any problems personally, but how are you going to explain it here at Southern Bank?"

"I borrowed an extra 100 million, a total of 200 million lira, with an annual interest rate of 8%!"
