(Bow to thank "Book Friend 21365646" for their monthly ticket support!)
In the morning, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing came to Brooke Investment Company. Chairman Brooke brought all the company's employees to greet him in the office. When they saw Zhou Ming coming in, they immediately got up and gave Zhou Ming the warmest applause and cheers. Even the company's beautiful female secretary even gave it to Zhou Ming with a bouquet of flowers.
All Brooke Investment Company employees sincerely welcome Zhou Ming because to them, Zhou Ming is their savior. If it weren't for Zhou Ming, Brooke Investment Company might go bankrupt immediately and they would be unemployed. It was Zhou Ming's capital injection that allowed them to temporarily keep their jobs. Now that their God is coming, they naturally have to put on the best posture. & Novels nbsp;In the joy of all the company employees, Chairman Brooke wanted to cut Zhou Ming with one knife, but on the surface he still smiled and shook hands with Zhou Ming and said, "I welcome Mr. Zhou Ming's arrival. Brooke Investment Company has always been the most important investment institution in Brighton. Our future profits will help you create benefits that you can't imagine. I believe you will be very grateful for your decision to save today!"
Listening to Brooke's words, Zhou Ming smiled and said to him: "I am surprised that Mr. Brooke can say this, but I think I can understand you."
Regarding Zhou Ming's words, Brooke's expression unconsciously stiffened, and then said inexplicably awkwardly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't quite understand what you mean, but I think Mr. Zhou Ming must be very satisfied with Brooke Investment Company."
Brooke said this obviously to change the topic, but Zhou Ming did not intend to make him do what he wanted. Zhou Ming continued: "Then I'll make it clear. I know Mr. Brooke, you must have wanted to die rather than accept any of my charity. Unfortunately, the facts seem to be a little higher than imagined. Even if you firmly believe in quotas, you are always very fragile in the face of reality. Are you right?"
Brooke really wanted to vomit blood at this moment. Just as Zhou Ming said, he did think so, and he was even more determined than Zhou Ming said. However, on the 21st, when Zhou Ming appeared in the conference hall of the Brighton Fed Bank, when Christo and Edward announced that the bank and the government had withdrawn from the rescue operation, he understood that some things could not be escaped.
As for Brooke himself, he knew that the company was like this and wanted to kill Zhou Ming in his heart, so why did he still need Zhou Ming's help? He also thought that even if the company went bankrupt, he would not be humiliated by Zhou Ming, but the fact was that he could not help himself.
As one of the most important investment companies in Massachusetts and the central company of the current subprime mortgage crisis, it has become a target for others to wait and see. If Brooke Investment Company collapses, the subprime mortgage crisis will slide in a larger direction, which is something that the Brighton family cannot see in any case. Therefore, Brooke was kidnapped by the consortium and left to Zhou Ming. Brooke did not even have the power to express his opinions.
Unfortunately, these words are impossible to say in the company, so he could only laugh with a smile: "I think some things are like this, success and defeat of the enemy."
After some greetings, Brooke took Zhou Ming to the conference room. Brooke's lawyer took out a document and handed it to Zhou Ming.
This document is the document that Zhou Ming signed the documents to invest in Brook Investment Company and transfer and change the equity. Since these documents were prepared in advance, there is no need to study them too carefully on the spot. Just take a look at it and you can sign it without any fundamental problems. Then Zhou Ming and Brook signed in front of everyone in the company's conference room and exchanged the documents.
After signing the letter, Zhou Ming and Brooke stood up and shook hands. Then Brooke suddenly asked again: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, our Brooke Investment Company is ready to accept Mr. Zhou Ming's management at any time. I just don't know when Mr. Zhou Ming's funds will be ready?"
"Fund?" Zhou Ming said with some hilariousness, "This question is the exchange condition between me and Mr. Christo. Do you understand if you are not qualified to ask? Even if we have signed a contract."
Brooke wanted to slap himself hard at the time. He hated him for being so stupid. He could clearly guess that since Zhou Ming came forward to be the savior, there must be many exchanges of interests behind him that he not only fought. Why did he ask such a redundant question? Isn't this self-inflicted?
Compared to Brooke's regret, all the other Brooke Investment employees were stunned at the time. They didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant, what was the exchange conditions with Mr. Christo? Who was Mr. Christo? Why did he say that he was not qualified to sign a contract? Is Brooke not the chairman of the company and a senior senator in Massachusetts?
Of course, these employees soon found the answer to these questions: Mr. Zhou Ming is a noble person after all, and he must have his own set of principles of doing things. The people he knows are not something they can know, so it is normal for them not to know.
Zhou Ming then left Brooke Investment Company. He and Lin Muqing came to the Bay Villa in Brighton, which is the property of the Adams family, with a small port, similar to Zhou Ming's club in Rhodes. However, because it is industrial betting, various service facilities are much better than here, and the docking places are much larger.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, please wait for a moment. Your friend has arrived at the sea outside the bay and you will be able to see it soon."
The villa's housekeeper said to Zhou Ming that the friend he mentioned was the exchange conditions Zhou Ming said before. Zhou Ming asked Christo to release Tong Gang-Li Cheng and Ilbedov, who were under house arrest, so that he would save Brooke Investment Company.
Christo did not come back today because he promised Zhou Ming that he had already made a humiliating decision in the face of the pressure from four people. Now he would come back to smile with Zhou Ming again? As the patriarch of the Adams family, he absolutely could not accept this insult.
Zhou Ming also understood this, and he didn't plan to see Christo again here anyway.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Ming saw a cruise ship slowly sailing on the sea not far away. The housekeeper who accompanied Zhou Ming to wait here told Zhou Ming that it was Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedorf.
Ten minutes later, the cruise ship finally docked in the port, and Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov walked out of the cabin in turn.
"The three are very welcome to come back to Brighton." Zhou Ming said with a smile at the port.
Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov came up and hugged Zhou Ming and said one by one: "Brother Zhou Ming, you are my most important family member! Nothing else to say, your business is mine in the future, even if I ask me to sell Changhe Industrial! We Northern Russians are all very brave, but I didn't expect that I would have the chance to come back. Mr. Zhou Ming, you are as great as my father!"
Perhaps there was no word Xie in their words, but their gratitude to Zhou Ming was beyond words.
"It's just Brother Zhou Ming, can you tell us what happened?" Tong Gang asked, and Li Cheng and Ilbedov also showed curious expressions. Obviously, they were both surprised by this problem.
But it's no wonder. After all, the Adams family is under house arrest. It's okay to say that Zhou Ming tried to use the power of a major country and sent special forces to rescue him, but now they were sent to him by the Adams family. What's going on? Could it be that Zhou Ming did something that made the Adams family compromise? But they can't imagine what could make a family like Adams compromise?
Faced with their doubts, Zhou Ming said: "Just as the three guessed, a lot of things happened in Brighton during the time you left, and I will tell you slowly on the way back."
Zhou Ming then took them away from the villa. On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Ming told them about the instigation of the subprime mortgage crisis and the later use them as exchange conditions for their return.
After listening to Zhou Ming's answer, the three of them were silent. After a while, Tong said: "Brother Zhou Ming, you are really a person worthy of entrusting your life. I didn't expect you to instigate the subprime mortgage crisis. You could have used the financial crisis to do bigger articles, but I didn't expect you to get the freedom of the three of us. We were so touched."
Li Cheng also said: "Yes, Brother Zhou Ming, I always think I am a very successful businessman, but now I find that I want you to rescue you like this, I am still too failed!"
Ilbedov said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, we Northern Russians pay attention to repaying our lives if we receive favors from others. No matter what you want to do in the future, I will support you as much as possible!"
Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Actually you are all too harsh. I did save you, but at that time, because we are all allies, I can give Kendian Lawrence and Lowell a confidence when I do this. I can treat you like this, and naturally I will treat them like this. Another point is that I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and it is not as great as you said."
After hearing what Zhou Ming said, Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov immediately became even more respectful to Zhou Ming. They said: "You not only have very precious qualities, but also have noble souls!"
"Although being praised is a very enjoyable experience, what I want to say is that you have really made a mistake. I am not Lei Feng. It is just a coincidence that I can exchange you back." Zhou Ming said.
"What other coincidences can this be?" Tong Gang asked curiously, "But you have now promised Christo to save Brooke Investment Company, and you have signed a management transfer contract with their company. You must take out the hundreds of millions of dollars of funds in it. If you cannot perform it, you will not only bear legal responsibility, but will also have a very bad impact on your reputation. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Don't worry, Tong Zhui, I'm not kidding on my reputation. As for the hundreds of millions of dollars I want to take out, I can't get a cent now," said Zhou Ming.
Tong Gang, Li Cheng and Ilbedov were both stunned. They had no idea what Zhou Ming was talking about. Since they wanted to maintain their reputation, they must perform the contract. Then, to perform the contract, they would have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars. However, Zhou Ming said that he did not intend to get a cent. Isn’t this a contradictory paradox?
Of course, Zhou Ming could see what the three of them were thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way!"
