Chapter 312 The essence of pretending to be b
(Bow thanks to "xxjgy" for their monthly ticket support!)
When the press conference between Wood and Tang An was held, the Tang family got the news as soon as possible, and even achieved real-time broadcast at home through technical means from the media.
Zhou Ming and Tang Ran and Lin Muqing received the news and rushed to Tang Jingsheng's villa. Tang Jingsheng also asked his butler to wait at the door early. When Zhou Ming arrived, he took him to the study as soon as possible. At this time, Wood's future prospects for the two companies, Lombardy and Hamilton, happened to be on his TV.
Looking at this strange face, Zhou Ming couldn't help but point at him and asked, "Who is this person? He looks pretty awesome!" "(("Novel Regarding this question, Tang Ran told him: "Brother Ming, this person is named Wood, and he is the first heir from the Itley Great Wood family in Michigan. He has taken over many of the family's industries and has a very important position."
Zhou Ming’s understanding of major American consortiums is not as detailed as the Tang family, but at least he has done his homework. Therefore, when Tang Ran said the name, Zhou Ming immediately remembered it.
The Great Wood family is also a very important wealthy family in the United States. Perhaps it is not as famous as a family consortium like Rockefeller and Morgan, and it is not even as good as a presidential politician like Adam Skendine. However, if it is placed on the historical territory of the United States, it is a very important family because it occupies the largest heavy industrial base in the United States.
Italy is located in the center of the Great Lakes Industrial Zone. Relying on shipping and railways and abundant mineral resources, Italy has been the heavy industry center of the United States for a long time. Not only are the headquarters of the four major American automobile companies here, but the production of steel, instruments, plastics, glass, tires, engines and other parts related to the automobile manufacturing industry is quite developed. It is no exaggeration to say that among every four American cars in the world, one must be from Italy.
This is undoubtedly a very exaggerated number. Relying on the industrial cluster foundation brought by automobiles, Itali also has very strong strength in other heavy industries such as aircraft and tanks.
If Italy is a huge and terrifying automobile kingdom in the United States, then the Big Wood family is the royal family of this kingdom. He owns the absolute controlling stake in all the automobile companies here, as well as the largest shareholders of other steel and metal processing industries. Whether it is a car group like General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, or other ordinary processing plants, as long as it is within the scope of Italy and even Michigan, it cannot escape the control of the Big Wood family.
With such strong control, it is not difficult to see the strong strength of the Big Wood family. If you even rank the strength of the family alone, the Big Wood family can still rank among the top ten. The only ones who can rank ahead of him are super families like Rockefeller and Morgan.
And now the young man who is holding a press conference with Tang An on TV can only be the first heir to the Big Wood family, Wood VIII.
With Tang Ran's prompt, Lin Muqing obviously remembered the Big Wood family, so she immediately asked: "So now that he is openly showing up on TV, is he publicly supporting the division of the Tang family and showing that he is the mastermind behind Tang An who supports and leads all this?"
Regarding Lin Muqing's guess, Tang Ran immediately echoed: "Sister Muqing, you guessed it right. And as far as I know, although the Great Wood family controls the automobile kingdom, they are also very weak in finance because they invest too much in heavy industry and rely too much on local mineral resources. This is also an important reason why they have been unable to fight against the large consortiums in the east and west."
"They have always been eager to have their own bank group, but they have not succeeded due to the obstruction of other consortium families. So now they focus on our Tangren Bank and support Tang An in splitting Tangren Bank at all costs." Tang Ran guessed.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "He supports Tang An in splitting the Tang family. He wants to get Tangren Bank for sure, but he may not be the real mastermind."
This made Lin Muqing and Tang Ran a little confused. Zhou Ming then explained: "It's very simple. If we were determined to deal with a certain group, do you think we should hold a press conference to tell the other party well, or should we prepare quietly and wait for a suitable opportunity to suddenly attack and lift the other party out of the position?"
"Of course, it's time to prepare for a sudden attack. If you hold a press conference with great fanfare, it would be too timid." Lin Muqing and Tang Ran made the same choice at the same time.
"But since they are not the masterminds, why should they choose to stand up and help Tang An?" Tang Ran asked again.
Zhou Ming did not answer this directly, but instead reminded him little by little: "I don't know if you still remember what I said before. The real mastermind will not stand up directly, but he will manipulate the forces he can control to disgust us."
"So Brother Ming, do you think that the big Wood family that suddenly appeared is like Tang An and others, who are the masterminds who let us bite our evil dog?" Tang Ran asked.
"This is the case in the current situation." Zhou Ming replied, "I guess they will hold this press conference so high-profile now, hoping to turn our attention to them."
Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin couldn't help but breathe a breath of air because a family like Da Wood could use it as a gun, and the family was so willing to stand up and find trouble for themselves. It is conceivable how terrifying such a force is.
Thinking of this, everyone in the room felt tremendous pressure and fell silent, and they didn't even react when the press conference on the TV ended.
After a while, Tang Jingsheng asked Zhou Ming: "So now the Great Wood family has come forward, what should we do next?"
Zhou Ming thought for a while and replied: "From the current situation, since the Wood family has come forward to make themselves a target and declared war on us through this press conference, then we don't need to think about other things and just face it directly. Didn't he inject funds into Lombardy and Hamilton? Then let's point the finger at them first."
"Is this really good? Because if we are led by them in this way, wouldn't we be led by the nose?" Tang Jingsheng asked tentatively.
Zhou Ming shook his head and replied: "No, because this is just a temporary countermeasure. We don't know what the Wood family thinks. If possible, I really hope to have a good chat with Mr. Wood VIII. I think he might have the same idea."
It seemed as if to prove Zhou Ming’s idea, when he finished speaking, the cell phone on his waist suddenly rang.
It was a future concept mobile phone specially equipped by Jobs for Zhou Ming. Although in Zhou Ming's opinion, this is just a very common button phone in ten years, it does have a very "future" sense for the era when big brothers and pagers are walking all over the floor.
There was a caller ID on the phone, which was a completely unfamiliar number. Zhou Ming answered the phone and a slightly frivolous voice came out: "Hello, is it Mr. Zhou Ming? I am Wood. I think you should already know about me, right? Then I'll tell you a long story. I called you to meet you. Let's have a good chat face to face. The time will be set at noon today, and the location will be up to you."
When they heard that it was Wood, Zhou Ming immediately turned on the hands-free, so everyone heard Wood's words, which made everyone confused. They didn't understand what Wood was going to do.
However, this confusion was just the beginning, because Wood then said: "If I guess correctly, Mr. Zhou Ming, you must be on the phone now, right? Maybe you are using the latest product of Aipai Company, a very small and practical concept mobile phone. I think this convenient portable mobile phone will definitely become the mainstream of society in the future! If possible, I also want one."
"It seems a bit off topic. We get back to the point. I sincerely ask you to meet you because I know you must also want to see me very much." Wood continued on the other end of the phone, "Even if it is a gang fight, before you actually draw the gun, everyone must understand the other party's bottom, let alone the war we are about to start now is much more powerful than a gang fight, right?"
Speaking of this, Wood suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is something I think you should be very interested in, that is, I have prepared tens of billions of funds for the war between Lombardy and Hamilton. I heard that Mr. Zhou Ming, you also want the 10% shares of Tangren Bank in Tang'an? I think I want to tell you very sorry that these shares may be transferred to my name in the future."
With Wood's words, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin no longer knew what to say. Lin Muqing and Tang Ran also frowned. Undoubtedly, these words were very anxious.
Indeed, Zhou Ming just said that he was going to talk to him about the situation, but now he directly said that he had taken away the shares in Tang An and prepared tens of billions of funds. This does not mean that he was fighting. As soon as the landlord finished the card, you showed off the two kings, four 2 and three in his hand. How can you play this card?
But if Mr. Wood didn't have such a Supreme Card in his hand, he wouldn't have called him so arrogantly, right?
Of course, it is impossible to defeat Tangren Bank in tens of billions of dollars, but the problem is that these tens of billions are just an introduction. His purpose is to use this introduction to trigger internal problems within the Tang family, such as Tang An's problem.
After all, Tang Ran inherited the family industry as an alien patriarch, but he had not officially managed the family. In other words, now is the time for the lowest family cohesion. If they cannot solve all difficulties strongly, it is difficult to say what those jealous people will do. This is what Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are most worried about, otherwise they would not support Zhou Ming and Tang Ran like this.
But when everyone else felt a little powerless, Zhou Ming took over Wood's words and said, "I think I already understand what you are going to say, but Mr. Wood, you are a little too pretentious."
Wood didn't expect Zhou Ming to suddenly say something like this. He didn't react at the time and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean by saying that?"
"What I want to say is that I originally planned to ask you out for a chat because I want to know what your purpose is, but now you have told me all the time, so what else can we talk about? Touching your conscience, tell me if you are crazy and have you pretended to be too B?" Zhou Ming said helplessly, "I just want to ask you, brother, how long have you been talking? I have said such a lot of nonsense to me."
