Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth Brighton's accident
Zhou Ming was not surprised by Edward's words. Even when Zhou Ming saw him, he could basically guess the reason why he came to find him. After all, he said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. This is the governor of Massachusetts and has many things to do. It is impossible for him to talk to him when he is idle. Now that he has come here from Brighton, he must have encountered a big trouble that they cannot solve.
However, Zhou Ming was not surprised, but Edward's words were like a heavyweight in the ears of George and his son behind him.
As the heads of the Great Wood family, they certainly knew Edward's identity, a very important member of the Kendian family, and also understood what kind of existence the Kendian family was. It was a legendary family from doing business to politics, and even a strong president who was so tough that he wanted to make the Federal Reserve's financial cake. Perhaps the end of the president was not so good in the end, but at least it could also show that the family was strong.
It is precisely because of this that they are extremely surprised that Edward can say such words.
"Governor Edward, you just said that you really need to ask Zhou Ming to go back to Brighton to take charge of the overall situation?" George asked carefully in amazement.
On this question, Edward answered very naturally: "Of course, Mr. Zhou Ming is an important figure in changing Brighton. We all need your guidance, otherwise we will jump around like headless flies."
Although George and his son had a premonition that what would be the answer when they asked this question, they still felt unacceptable when they heard this answer. After all, it was a big family of the Brighton Consortium. How could they do this? Could it be that Zhou Ming's departure from Brighton was not driven out by the consortium family before, but had other plans?
Looking back at Zhou Ming's journey from Brighton to San Francisco and finally to Itley, it seems that no matter where Zhou Ming goes, it can make the local consortium situation stir up bloody storm.
When I was in San Francisco, a 22-year-old girl who had never lived in San Francisco became the patriarch of the Down family. In Italy, not only did the Great Wood family split, but even the city of Italy would go bankrupt soon after according to his layout. Now even the oldest Brighton consortium in the east cannot be spared, and Edward has to ask Zhou Ming to go back and take charge.
This idea made George gasp involuntarily because he felt that Zhou Ming was like a black hole that could not be seen through, making people feel scared from the bottom of his heart.
But at the same time, George also breathed a sigh of relief and was not ashamed of his failure. Now even the Kendian family is like this. It is not unacceptable to lose to Zhou Ming and bow to him.
Zhou Ming had no choice but to let George and his son take Julia back first, while Zhou Ming asked Edward to get into his car.
Sitting in Zhou Ming's car, Edward recalled the way George and his son respected Zhou Ming just now, and their backs who were leaving carefully now, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Zhou Ming is still as strong as ever! Although those two people did not introduce themselves, if I read it correctly, they should be the patriarchs and sons of the Great Wood family?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "It's them who deserve to be the governor. This is a good vision. They will do this. I made them realize their mistakes and gave them some punishment, that's all."
"Beating the Bank of England and putting Big Wood Bank in trouble, owning shares in Big Wood Bank, can describe these as a little punishment for them. Mr. Zhou Ming has indeed inherited the usual implicitness and modesty of the East," said Edward.
"It seems that although Mr. Governor is in Brighton, he is still very concerned about the situation in other places!" Zhou Ming said with a smile, "In fact, this is also a problem they have. Just like the pound, if there is no problem in itself, no matter how smart I am, it will be difficult for me to find a mobile phone."
Zhou Ming said this and looked at Edward, then leaned on the backrest and continued: "It's just that Governor Edward came very soon. I just have time now. I can take you to take a look at this city of Italy. This is the largest industrial area in the United States. Perhaps the Governor can find good investment opportunities for the family."
At the end, Zhou Ming deliberately told him in a low voice: "The Great Wood family is very weak now, and it is the best opportunity to plunder the wealth here!"
Facing Zhou Ming's words, Edward smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, although the family is also investing in this area, there is a dedicated team to manage it. As for your side, Mr. Zhou Ming, I think we should talk about the important matter first."
Zhou Ming pretended to be surprised and asked, "So did not come to Yitley for vacation?"
"Of course not, the situation in Brighton has become worse. I came to Yitley with Lawrence and Louis' begging Mr. Zhou Ming to return to Brighton to help us." Edward said.
"So that's it, but maybe it's because Mr. Governor, your psychological quality is too good. Because you look relaxed, I don't feel nervous at all, so I mistakenly think that you are here for vacation in Italy." Zhou Ming said.
Edward was even more embarrassed. He smiled and said to Zhou Ming: "I can only say sorry. Many behaviors are a habit. I hope the other party can ask questions first before me, so that I can take the lead."
"I understand this, but Mr. Governor should not do this in the future, at least not in front of me, because that will only make me think you are stupid."
Zhou Ming reminded him that after hearing this, Edward nodded quickly and said yes. Zhou Ming was not ruling and chasing him relentlessly. Then he waved his hand and skipped the topic lightly and said: "I won't talk about this anymore, so what's going on in Brighton now? Didn't the expensive military expenditure of the Iraq War make their funds have any problems?"
Zhou Ming was indeed a little curious. Although Zhou Ming was busy with Tang Ran and the Tang family, he almost forgot Brighton because he had been busy with the affairs of Tang Ran and the Tang family and had never paid special attention to the news there, but once any news came over there, Zhou Ming would still lend a helping hand.
Just like when he took great risks to go to Iraq in person, it was because the situation in Brighton changed, and the Adams and the Rockefeller family united, which put Edward and the others under tremendous pressure. Whether it was the lawsuit or the CDS market, Edward would take Louis to San Francisco to ask Zhou Ming for help.
At that time, it happened that he helped Tang Ran pass the Tang family test, so Zhou Ming decided to go to Iraq in person. After all, this war was controlled by these two major families.
Later, when he returned from Iraq, he did lose news about Brighton, which seemed to have caused a great blow to the Adams and the Rockefeller family. In addition, the Tang family itself had an internal strife and the Da Wood family's intervention later made Zhou Ming necessary to solve these things first, so he had no time to care about the situation in Brighton.
Of course, Zhou Ming did not think that his tricks could really defeat the two big families of Adams and Rockefeller, but at least it would be fine to give them a lot of hardship. You should know that such a large investment in a Gulf War was something they had planned for a long time. His sudden change would definitely disrupt their position and relieve a lot of pressure on Edward and the others.
Regarding Zhou Ming's doubts, Edward sighed and said, "Indeed, at the end of the Gulf War, we did feel that the pressure on us by the Adams family has been reduced a lot. Perhaps they were busy dealing with the problems of the Gulf War at that time. After all, no one would have thought that such an asymmetric regional war. The United States has prepared for nearly a year of war, and the war after Iraq lost air supremacy can become like that."
"If it was just a simple war, then you would win very easily, but the problem is that this war is not simple."
Zhou Ming told Edward that he had a thorough understanding of this war, otherwise he would not have thought of using public opinion to slow down the US military's offensive pace, and eventually left the US military's attack restricted, and finally came to negotiate with him.
Edward nodded and said, "The Gulf War was very powerful, but it didn't hold them back for too long. They adjusted in just one month."
At this time, Edward added: "But our performance in this month was also very bad, because we did nothing, just waited like an idiot. I couldn't imagine what we thought and how we could do such a stupid thing..."
Zhou Ming interrupted Edward and told him: "No matter how stupid some things are, since they have been done, there is no need to recall them again. Maybe you can summarize them in the future, but now, let's talk about the problems we face first and solve them first."
Edward apologized to Zhou Ming, and then said: "Adams's action is very simple, which is to take action against Kendian Investment Bank, causing conflicts between the board of directors and the CEO, and then constantly using public opinion to spread all negative news about Kendian Investment Bank. At the same time, he also sold Kendian Investment Bank's stocks, which caused us a very troublesome impact."
"Then Lawrence and the Lowell family were afraid that Adams' revenge would be their turn, so did they want to retreat?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true that's how it is." Edward sighed. "Now with Rockefeller's capital entering, the CDS market has become active again, and people are not so afraid of subprime loans. This has directly affected our lawsuits against the forty-five investment companies, because they even want to withdraw from the legal team of the lawsuit."
"This is indeed a very troublesome thing, but I am not in Brighton now, and I don't have a complete understanding of the situation in Brighton, so I have to wait until I return to Brighton before I can give you an accurate answer." Zhou Ming said.
Edward then breathed a sigh of relief: "Brighton welcomes your arrival at any time, Mr. Zhou Ming."
