Chapter 400: The initiative to deliver to the door
Thank you for your dizzy monthly ticket support
It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming, you made a huge mistake in your judgment this time, and there was no disagreement between the Adams family and Caitlyn.
This is what Edward said to Zhou Ming on the phone. After hearing this, Zhou Ming immediately rushed from Harvard University to Kendine Investment Bank Building. Originally, Zhou Ming was listening to a lecture at the Harvard Financial Lecture Hall. As a reborn Zhou Ming knew very well that no matter how far he reached, learning was inevitable, because the world was a race. Once you stopped, you would be surpassed immediately.
Of course, in fact, in addition to listening to the class, Zhou Ming still wants to meet his beautiful head teacher, Zyra. Although Zhou Ming knows very well that he and her will not have any consequences, but the nature of a man is
But unfortunately, it seems that she is conducting a very secret research topic recently, so Zhou Ming did not find him, and he couldn't even find out which financial laboratory she was in or other laboratory.
This may be God's will, at least it can make you devote yourself to the next thing
With this idea, Zhou Ming came to Kendian Investment Bank half an hour later. The chairman's secretary greeted him downstairs. When he saw Zhou Ming coming, he took him to the conference room directly. The floor was still on the 26th floor, but it was another conference room. It seemed that if it were not so formal, all the meetings where all the core members of the Kendian family were present, that conference room would not be easily opened.
However, this was also expected by Zhou Ming. After all, if it were a conference room that could be used casually, I would probably not need to be solemnly arranged.
Governor Edward and Kendian Investment Bank Chairman Patrick were both waiting here, and they were the only one here. When Zhou Ming pushed the door in, they all stood up subconsciously, but Zhou Ming waved his hand to let them sit down.
What exactly will make you so anxious to call me Zhou Ming, who is sitting opposite the conference table and ask them.
Look, this is the proposal proposed by Christo at the Brighton Bank Board meeting today.
Edward said and threw a document at Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming took the document and looked at it and smiled: Is this really proposed by the Adams family?
Zhou Ming's expression was obviously beyond Patrick's expectations. He frowned and said: Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think this is a ridiculous thing. Do you understand the purpose of Christo's proposal. He is to unlimitedly weaken the influence of the Kendian family in Brighton Bank, and even take back our shares and voting rights. This is a very serious matter, not a funny joke for children.
Zhou Ming did not apologize sincerely: I am very sorry, but I really think this proposal is ridiculous.
Patrick frowned and wanted to say something, but Edward, who knew Zhou Ming better, said first: Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you should know what Brighton Bank means in this Brighton consortium. This is the absolute core of the consortium. Our Kendine family also managed to become a member of the consortium a hundred years ago by mastering the shares of the bank.
Now, the Adams family’s proposal is undoubtedly to weaken the Kendian family’s influence in the bank, marginalize the Kendian family step by step, and ultimately plunder the Kendian family’s wealth through the power of the consortium.
Edward thought for a while and said: Simply put, although the Adams family's previous crackdown and suppression against investment banks made the family uncomfortable, the financial resources of Brighton Bank can still support the family. However, once the shares of Brighton Bank are lost, the entire Kendian family will be like a big tree with its roots cut off. No matter how lush branches and leaves look, it will inevitably wither.
So, this time, you obviously guessed it wrong. The Adams family did not disagree because of His Highness Caitlin's private appointment with you, but instead became closer. This was their demonstration. Edward finally said that the remaining three of us were already at Brighton Bank and were going to find ways to obtain internal information from the Adams family.
So that's it. Mr. Christo is so big, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? Zhou Ming smiled and said, but my idea is exactly the opposite of you. I think that since the Adams family has played this card, it proves that he has irreconcilable differences with Caitlin. I think even the Adams family has banned Caitlin from contacting anything about the Adams family.
Zhou Ming's words made Edward and Patrick widen their eyes. Obviously, they didn't understand what logic this was.
Zhou Ming told them: It's very simple. Governor and Mr. Patrick, you all think about it carefully. How did the Adams family do to deal with you before
Edward and Patrick were both stunned for a moment, their faces were very confused, but this confusion disappeared after only a moment of persistence, and replaced by some incredible things.
Zhou Ming has been paying attention to the expressions on their faces: It seems that you have all thought that when Caitlin was in charge in the past, she started from Kendian Investment Bank as the center, and started from all the important investments of the Kendian family, step by step to compress the resources mastered by the Kendian family. Such practices may be slow to achieve, but at least they are stable step by step.
Now, although starting directly from Brighton Bank does not conform to Caitlyn's usual style, this is the most direct way, right? Maybe this is the change after she met you, Patrick asked.
I don't rule out this possibility, but I can only say that this possibility is slim and can be said to be non-existent. Zhou Ming said that the reason is very simple, doing so will cause the Adams family to be passive.
Edward and Patrick immediately exclaimed, as if they had heard the news of the end of the world, because the current situation seemed to them to be more dangerous than before, but why did Zhou Ming seem to be like how much advantage they had taken?
Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm curious whether you know what Brighton Bank represents. Patrick was puzzled.
I don’t think you know what Brighton Bank represents, Mr. Patrick, you should be. Zhou Ming said.
Patrick smiled: This is really the funny joke I heard in the world. I was the first among the Kendian family's Iron Five Corners. Do you think I still don't know about the Brighton Consortium and the Brighton Bank
Zhou Ming nodded and asked him back: Since Mr. Patrick knows so much about this, now when the Adams family is going to deprive you of your shares in Brighton Bank, what if we take the initiative to spread the news first
Hearing Zhou Ming's rhetoric, Edward and Patrick were stunned, because once they learned this kind of news, normal people's first reaction was to find a way to stop it. Why would anyone still think about spreading the news?
But if you think about it carefully, you will really make the news public. As an important shareholder of Brighton Bank, such a large equity change will definitely attract market attention. For this situation, even if a person who has no idea about the management of the company can understand that if a company has internal friction, then at least at this stage, the company will inevitably go downhill and is not suitable for investment.
Once the market makes this judgment, Brighton Bank's stock will fall accordingly, and the overall market value of Brighton Bank will shrink.
Kendine is only one of the major shareholders of Brighton Bank. This situation is not what the Kendine family wants to see, but it is very deadly for the Adams family, which holds nearly half of the shares of Brighton Bank. If the Adams family does not want to do this, they can only publicly deny the rumors, or find ways to keep the shares of the Kendine family, so as to swear the internal unity of Brighton Bank, and there is no contradiction.
So if the Adams family chooses to do this, it means that he has to compromise with the Kendian family, and the Kendian family can take the initiative?
Edward and Patrick are both very smart people. They quickly figured out this key, which made them extremely excited. After all, the Adams family has been crazily suppressing the Kendian family. Because Adams has the advantage of strength, they have always taken the initiative. Now, once the situation changes, it will be different.
Just like that sentence, you have already turned over and you don’t know how to move, so don’t go to bed in the future
Kendine has always been at a disadvantage in Brighton. If they can now gain the upper hand, they will have the confidence to let the Adams family know what it means to turn over serfs to sing.
From Edward and Patrick's expressions, Zhou Ming knew that they had understood, so Zhou Ming asked them again: How about it now, you actually don't know what Brighton Bank represents?
A question made Patrick extremely embarrassed because he asked Zhou Ming just now, especially with a condescending tone. Now it seems that this is just a slap in the face. If possible, Patrick really wants to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
However, as the first Iron Five-King in the Kendian family, Patrick's face naturally needs no further words. He just said to Zhou Ming a little embarrassedly: Of course, Mr. Zhou Ming's keen sense of finance and business is something that no one can catch up with.
Zhou Ming did not mock Patrick too much because he didn't know him, so it was normal for him to question himself in desperation. Zhou Ming just wanted to let him know who is the one here.
