It's almost the end of the year in the blink of an eye. After breakfast, Xiao Shi drove to Director Zhu and Deputy Director Cheng to buy the things they needed to bring home.

I stayed alone in the office, turned on my computer, and looked at the comments I had made to Andrei on Facebook.

Andre hasn't contacted me since the last video.

At the time, he said he was going to Tokyo the next day, but at the moment, I wasn't sure where Andrei would be. I sighed and wrote the word "Hi! Said hello to him.

Unexpectedly, Andrei replied immediately, and he asked me where I was?

Where can I be? Leaving him a message means I'm sure I'm okay right now—I'm pouring out my frustration with him on the keyboard.

Clicking on Andrei's video call, I saw Andre with Bluetooth smiling at me.

- "Oh, where are you?" I asked

- "In the departure lounge of the New York airport, I'll fly to Tokyo in an hour. Andrei replied.

- "You didn't go to Tokyo last time?" Did you run away to New York? I asked, puzzled.

- "Hahaha...... Linna, I went, but then I went to New York, from New York back to Zurich, from Zurich to New York, and now to Tokyo. ”

- "You're not going to make a home in Tokyo, are you?" Where else will you go after that? I asked with a smile.

- "Hahaha...... Actually, Tokyo is really going through the motions at the end, and I think I can go back to Zurich the day after tomorrow. ”

- "Hey, how many days are you going to stay in Zurich?" I asked with a wicked smile

Andrei looked at me with a smile, and after a while he said:

- "Linna, I think that if all goes well, this merger can be completed in three months at most.

At that time, the first thing I did was to go to you. When the time comes, no matter what excuse you make, don't even think about avoiding me anymore. ”

- "When did I avoid you?" I think that if I don't contact you now, you will never reach out to me. I said dissatisfied.

- "I really didn't bother talking to you for the past two months, but when my investment bank is officially listed, you will come to work with me, and we can talk at any time, just like in the academy at that time, I can see you twenty-four hours a day." Andrei said with sparkling eyes.

- "Looks like you're doing well!" Andrey, you're amazing, I didn't expect you to ...... You're ...... You did it. I looked at him excitedly and didn't know what to say.

- "At the very least, I wasn't intimidated by David!" Andrei said proudly.

- "I'm not saying David is better than you, and I don't think David will look up to him just because he owns a bank...... I just don't want to see such antagonism between your brothers...... After all, we're all family......" I explained.

- "Linna, I know what you're thinking. Although, your view of the world is a bit naïve, however, it may not be a bad thing, hehe......

I suddenly wondered if even Sergei didn't want to see you like everyone else! Andrei looked at me with one hand on his chin and said.

- "What about the others?" "I was a little puzzled by Andrei's words.

Andrei smiled a little and said:

- "Leehui's family bank in Indonesia is fully capable of supporting my proposed acquisition of the firm. ”

"Great, Andrey, I thought at the time, where could there be a ready-made bank to work with your firm?" It's no wonder you used to complain that I underestimated you, hehe...... Looks like I'm really blind, can you...... But so capable! I said happily

- "Linna, actually, I'm not as capable as you think I am. Lucky for me, things all came together, and that's where we have now. ”

I looked at him and listened to Andrei continue:

Tom said that the U.S. government is imposing sanctions on some tainted Japanese companies like the Rie family, and they are eager to find a place for their wealth outside the United States, and Switzerland is naturally the first choice.

However, no matter how innocent their banks in Indonesia are, it will be difficult for them to get their hands on Zurich's business. Our proposal for cooperation is something they can't even find with a lantern.

To be honest, if David hadn't forced me into this job, I would have carefully considered whether to cooperate with a company with such a background in such depth. After all, to and constitute a business.

But, like you said, there's a ready-made bank waiting to work with me.

If it weren't for the sudden promulgation of such a decree by the United States, which made those Japanese companies in the United States rush to withdraw, I really wouldn't have had the opportunity to negotiate terms with companies of their size.

Tom did contribute a lot to this. I promised to give him a stake in our new investment bank as well. ”

- "Tom is an employee of your company, right?" I remember he was the one who introduced you to Rie. ”

- "Yes, Tom is the actuary of our firm. A top student at Harvard.

Ha ha...... I never thought that the shareholders of my bank were Americans, Japanese or something, which is a bit of an unbelievable thing, oh, by the way, my cousin Luca also took a stake in my company. ”

- "Oh? And what about David? I asked.

- "That's right, Linna, I don't want to exclude cooperation with David Bank, which is actually the most beneficial for our firm. With the support of two banks, it is indeed a step higher than one Gengjian, not to mention that the assets of Leehui Family Bank are several times that of David Bank. ”
