Chapter 361 The strength of the Big Wood family
(Bow thanks to "Sweeping Wanzhi" and "Feng Shen Yu Shao" for their monthly ticket support!)
While Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing and Tang Ran were on the phone, on the other side, the patriarch George also received a call that shocked him.
That was called by Jack, the head of the Morgan family. On the phone, Jack told him: "According to the news I just got, Zhou Ming went to Wright Investment Bank today and talked with Miranda, the chairman of the company, for a long time. I think you are not unfamiliar with this name, Mr. George, right?"
George Ng said, "Although I haven't seen him for thirteen years, I still know this person. He is my brother and an important member of the Great Wood family. So, Mr. Jack, you said Zhou Ming went to find him today. Why is that?"
"I'm sorry I don't know, but I guess he's likely to provide Zhou Ming with some information about us, such as cooperation between us." Jack reminded George, "To be on the safe side, I want to know if your brother Miranda is possible to know our plans?"
"I can't judge, because Miranda is very sinister and uses any means to achieve his goal. I can't judge what he has done in the past thirteen years. As the patriarch of the Great Wood family, I can't doubt everyone for no reason." George shook his head and replied, "Then Mr. Morgan, you said this to tell me that our plan may have been leaked by my brother, right?"
Jack replied yes, George thought for a while and asked, "So what is Mr. Morgan going to do next?"
"My idea is that since my plan is at risk of leakage, it's time for us to change it temporarily. Perhaps some subsequent plans can be put on the agenda in advance," Jack said.
"So Mr. Morgan means we should do it first without waiting for Zhou Ming, right?" George asked.
"I think we have no other choice." Jack told George. "Although the meeting between Zhou Ming and Miranda does not mean that there will be any leaks, we should not throw multiple-choice questions to God to help us do it, but we should control everything ourselves, right?"
In response, George was silent for a while and then said, "I understand, thank you very much for Mr. Jack for telling me this news."
George left Jack with this sentence, then hung up the phone. He called his son Wood into his study and said to him: "We are going to start fighting against Zhou Ming and the Tang family first. Do you have any good ideas?"
This question made Wood feel energetic, but this spirit quickly turned into a question: "Dad, are you really going to do this? But why does it seem different from what you agreed at the beginning? Didn't he say he would first design a trap to pull the Morgan family into the water, and then we will follow his plan to follow the flow?"
"This is because the situation has changed now, and our plan must be adjusted," George said. "My child, I believe you still remember Miranda, right?"
Wood frowned: "Of course I still remember that because of what happened, he has always held a grudge against you for your father for these thirteen years. Please ask him..."
Wood paused at this point, and he suddenly understood: "Father, do you mean that he betrayed us? But he shouldn't know our plan."
"Many things in this world are difficult to explain clearly. Miranda and his group have many resources controlled by the Great Wood family. Even if they lose their position as patriarch, they are still the most important one in the family. So it is difficult to tell whether he will learn anything from somewhere." George continued, "In addition, the Morgan family called me at noon today and told me the news that Zhou Ming went to find Miranda."
The news stunned Wood: "Why is there such a thing? Why didn't we get the news in advance for such important news?"
George shook his head: "This is probably because they were deliberately hiding from us. The Morgan family also learned the news by a very coincidental situation, because one of his friends happened to be in the cafe chosen by Zhou Ming Miranda that day, and his friend happened to know Miranda, so he told the Morgan family about the matter."
Wood laughed and said, "It seems that we are very lucky, and even God is on our side."
At the end of the conversation, Wood's expression became ferocious again, and he said to George: "Then father, I think we can still sell some of the shares of Tangren Bank in our hands, including some of the shares with voting rights, according to the plan we prepared at the beginning."
"We can best counter the Tangren Bank by doing this. At the same time, we can force the Tang family to bow to us and no longer provide financial support to Zhou Ming. I know that maybe Zhou Ming has a close relationship with the newly appointed Tang clan leader, but the Tang family is not the only one who decides. As long as everyone else disagrees, then under such heavy pressure, if the new clan leader wants to act alone, the Tang family will be in chaos first."
Wood said, his face full of confidence: "What other threat can a family in chaos pose to us if it is even a problem with its own operation?"
"The only one left in the end is Zhou Ming. So, wouldn't he become a piece of meat on the chopping board on the chopping board? In their Chinese terms, this is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron." Wood said.
"This is a great way to remove the firewood from the cauldron. So, my child, you should do it according to your own ideas!" George said.
After getting George's permission, Wood left the room happily. After Wood left, George picked up the phone on the table and skillfully dialed out a number: "I have heard Wood's idea just now, at least it sounds feasible, so I left it to him to do it, you can help take care of it, after all, this time... it's related to the two families of Big Wood and Morgan."
What said there, George said: "Wood is my son and the heir to the family. He will face all this sooner or later, so while I can help him recover, let him let it go, instead of locking him in a greenhouse and becoming a cowardly heir."
George heard what the other side said, and continued: "Of course I understand what the situation is now and the consequences of failure, but it is this critical moment of life and death that can train a person's willpower and courage, right? I hope that the heir of the family is a wolf that can eat others, rather than a sheep that is timid and eaten by others."
On the other side, after leaving George's room, Wood immediately drove to the headquarters of the Great Wood Bank on Marco Avenue.
As the heir to the Great Wood family, Wood naturally came to Great Wood Bank a lot. He even personally directed several financial operations here, creating more than one billion dollars in profits for Great Wood Bank. Of course, it is unknown whether this is Wood's ability or someone escorts behind the scenes, but one thing is certain, Mr. Wood is full of confidence now.
Wood came to the bank's high-level conference room, and the bank's president stood in front of him and waited for his orders.
Now Wood feels like a strategist, commanding thousands of troops. With one order, countless people will obey their orders and rush up to crush the enemy. As for Zhou Ming and the Tang family, they are vulnerable to the Great Wood family, so they will not escape the family's calculations no matter how they do or think.
Thinking of this, Wood suddenly thanked Miranda a little, because if he hadn't told Zhou Ming that he was plotting, he might not have been able to take charge of the command so soon.
Looking at the president in front of him, Wood said to him: "Mr. Alderon, the bank is ready now, right?"
After receiving the other party's affirmative answer, Wood immediately issued an order: "That's great, execute my order now and start selling our shares in Tangren Bank."
Alderon nodded and said, "No problem, but how many should we sell? Should we sell only ordinary shares, or shares with voting rights?"
Wood thought for a while and replied to him: "Sell one tenth first, just eight billion, and one fifth of the shares in the middle are voting shares."
Alderon was very surprised: "Do you have to throw so much? If so, should we communicate with Tangren Bank first?"
Wood waved his hand and said, "Of course not, we are selling our shares. What does it have to do with them? If they are really unhappy, we can sell my shares in Big Wood Bank, but the premise is that they have to have talent."
Alderon hesitated and said, "Young master, but if we sell so many shares at once, it will easily disrupt the normal order of the entire financial market. Especially the impact on Tangren Bank will lead to the shrinking of Tangren Bank's market value. In the end, the shares of Tangren Bank we hold will also shrink, which means that we will be the victims in the end..."
Before Alderon finished speaking, he asked him back, "What do you mean is that it's best for us to throw it all at once?"
Alderon was stunned at first, then shook his head desperately and said, "Of course I don't mean that, how can I sell it all at once? If I sell it all at once, it will be impossible for the market to digest it at all, and we will still lose money in the end! What I mean..."
This time Wood hadn't finished listening to Alderon's words, and he interrupted him again, "Okay, I know everything, so according to my initial idea, I'll just throw out eight billion first. Maybe for Alderon, we will lose something, but for the entire Wood family, it's a profit, and the one who really suffers losses is the Tangren Bank."
Faced with Wood's insistence, Alderon didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Okay, but I still think we should communicate with Tangren Bank first to minimize our losses..."
Wood waved his hand at this: "There is no need. Why do we have to communicate with them if we sell their shares? I'll just sit here and wait for them to come up and beg me!"
Then Alderon went to execute Wood's orders, and with Alderon's departure, Wood could already imagine the future scene. When the Tang family couldn't hold on to beg for mercy, and when Zhou Ming lost support and went to Yitley without any way to go, that was the most enjoyable.
