On September 20, 2014, a minibus was parked at the famous state street intersection of Brighton. A middle-aged man took a group of students out of the car. They followed the street to the entrance of a very spectacular financial building.

Isn't this Brighton Bank Building? Students called out the name of the building at once. After all, the Brighton Bank Building has always been a symbol of Brighton City, and it is still difficult to recognize it.

However, some students were curious about the purpose of their coming here: Teacher, what are you going to do to bring us here? Are you going to have an internship here? But we haven't entered the internship period yet. Will it be a bit too early to come here? And we are now in the first grade of the research institute, neither high nor low, and our internship position seems to be difficult to arrange.

Faced with the students' questions, the middle-aged man just shook his head and did not answer. He took the students to the cafe opposite the bank building and found a private room where he could see the bank building.

After the middle-aged man took his students to sit down in the private room, he said: Today's course is to understand the merger and acquisition cases of the company. Although I am not sure where you will go after graduating from school, whether it is a fund company or other companies, the merger and acquisition bill of the company must be understood, otherwise you will be no different from an idiot.

The middle-aged man then pointed to the bank building opposite: it was the Brighton Bank Building, one of the three pillar banks in our country, with total assets exceeding one trillion US dollars. Even if it is the best in the world, it is such a giant that twenty years ago was acquired through a three million US dollar merger, which can be regarded as a textbook-like leveraged merger.

This sentence was like a bombshell, scaring everyone silly. The students were surprised and said: This is impossible for teachers. Even if you calculate development and inflation, Brighton Bank had assets of hundreds of billions of dollars twenty years ago. No matter how much it is in debt, it should not be acquired by three million US dollars. This number is simply incredible.

Some students said: It is not a merger or acquisition, but rather a robbery. I think it is more appropriate. How can this be a textbook-style leveraged merger? Because even the most exaggerated one cannot be written like this.

Faced with the surprise and doubts of these students, the middle-aged man just sat there calmly and drank coffee. After the students said they were tired, he said: If someone had told me twenty-five years ago that someone could acquire Brighton Bank with three million dollars, no matter who this person was or what kind of accomplishments he had in the field of economics, I would have poured coffee directly on his face and said something even more excessive than you.

Listening to the middle-aged man’s speech, all the students stopped talking at the same time and listened quietly to the middle-aged man’s words.

The middle-aged man sighed and finally laughed helplessly: But now I cannot refuse to believe it, because I am the witness and witness of that incredible merger and acquisition case.

As the middle-aged man said, a burst of exclamations suddenly echoed in the box, but the middle-aged man had no reason. He just turned his head and looked out the window, looked at the tall bank building, and murmured: It was because of that merger and acquisition case that made me believe that there were really geniuses in this world. That year, it was the Chinese. He slapped everyone and slapped them with one slap after another.

Back in 1990, the coastal resort villa in Rhode Island is a resort villa specially for renting out in Rhode Island. Since many people only come to Rhode Island for vacation and do not need to buy an industry here, there are many such rental villas in Rhode Island, and there are all kinds of grades.

Although Zhou Ming had negotiated an alliance with the three families of Kendian Lawrence and Lowell, he was not in a hurry to return to Brighton, so he rented a luxury villa in Rhode Island, where Edward Lawrence and Louis also lived.

In the morning, Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing were watching TV in the living room of the villa. Edward Lawrence and Louis walked downstairs together and took down a kraft paper bag.

Mr. Zhou Ming, this is the industry document you want about the Adams family. Although it is impossible to investigate the situation of each person in the Adams family who controls which industry and which company, but roughly what industries they control are recorded, they are all here. Edward said and gave Zhou Ming the kraft paper bag.

Zhou Ming took the kraft paper bag and looked at Edward. He knew very well that although the Brighton Consortium included hundreds of companies, as three major families that also control the Brighton Consortium, they could not really not know who controls which company in the Adams family. After all, there are only so many companies that can be truly attracted by the Adams family and have to firmly control them in their own hands.

As Edward said this, it is probably that the three of them wanted to leave a last retreat for themselves. If the plan to deal with the Adams family goes bankrupt, the situation will not be broken to the end.

I will stay at the forefront of my life and I want to see you in the future.

Zhou Ming understood this truth and stopped exposing it. Zhou Ming opened the kraft paper bag. Although he was prepared, he still took a breath of air conditioning when he looked at the contents above.

Brighton Bank Massachusetts Insurance Company Massachusetts Securities Company Bell Aircraft Company Phoenix Company Massachusetts Cotton Company Northeast Mining Company Brighton Media Company

Zhou Ming pronounced the names of these companies one by one. Each of them is a very famous large company in Massachusetts and even the entire United States. Unexpectedly, they are all holding companies of the Adams family. These companies together take care of almost all industries. No wonder Brighton can be called a consortium that monopolizes one party, and the Adams family even monopolizes the consortium's family. This tentacle spreads so incredible.

Zhou Ming remembers that he once saw a very interesting comment online, saying that why Li Cheng could become the richest Chinese in the world in the future is because no matter how much money he spent in Hong Kong City, he could finally return to his own hands through his industry. In this way, he could only make money but not spend it, so he naturally became the richest man.

This is undoubtedly a joke, but it does illustrate the most important economic law, that is, monopoly.

Just imagine that Li Cheng monopolized many Hong Kong city industries and became the richest Chinese in the world. Now, through the Brighton consortium, the Adams family monopolized the entire Massachusetts' food, clothing, housing and transportation, from a button to a large number of aircraft and missiles, and even participated in the moon landing plan. How can this level of monopoly not be hugely shocked?

Before he could see the end, Zhou Ming closed the document and said with a wry smile: It seems that the Adams family really has too many resources.

These are just companies they control. Lawrence reminded Zhou Mingdao.

Zhou Ming looked up at Lawrence, and Lawrence reminded him again: Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you should still remember the incident of Councillor Brooke.

After reminding Lawrence, Zhou Ming then remembered: You mean the congressman they support

Not only the members of the parliament, but also the people they trained in various departments of the state government. These people may not have the surname Adams, but because they always have friends or relatives named Adams, it will be much more convenient for them to obtain loans and other things, so these people are also very happy to do things for the Adams family. Louis explained to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming exhaled and said: In other words, the Adams family has bound themselves to Massachusetts through these three hundred years of control, right? If you want to kill the Adams family forcibly, it is equivalent to killing Massachusetts as a whole.

Since Zhou Ming, you decided to deal with the Adams family, you should think of such a situation, Edward said.

Zhou Ming did not answer this because he didn't know how to answer it. It was indeed as Edward said, when he decided to deal with the Adams family, he had thought about what kind of giant he was going to deal with. But now when he saw the company controlled by the Adams family, and then thought about his possible control over the state legislature and state government, it was too powerless.

The reason is very simple. The companies controlled by the Adams family are combined into a very complete and benign industrial chain. No matter which link they destroy, the other party can recover in a very short time. If you unite with these three families, not to mention whether you can work together, even if you can make a big deal, once the matter is made and the state government and the state legislature intervene, the matter will be very difficult to handle.

For Zhou Ming, the Adams family is like a round ice hockey, and he only has an embroidery needle and has no idea where to start, so he can destroy the ice hockey in one go.

Looking at Zhou Ming's distressed look, Edward Lawrence and Louis were very happy: It seems that the arrangement of the Adams family for three hundred years was not in vain. At least even a smart person like Mr. Zhou Ming is stumped. But there is no way. After all, the control of the Adams family is too complete. I don't know how many people want to kill the Adams family many times, but unfortunately they have not succeeded. How could an outsider do it just by shouting a slogan?

Faced with the ridicule of the three, Zhou Ming did not speak, but Lin Muqing, who was with Zhou Ming, couldn't sit still. She said dissatisfiedly: Why don't you help me and find a way to sarcastically be here? Is it true that Zhou Ming can't think of any good for you? You are all from the Brighton Consortium.

Lin Muqing reminded Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming immediately raised his head and looked at Edward Lawrence and Louis and said: Yes, I have you left.

The three of them were caught off guard, and they looked at each other in surprise. Finally, Edward, the most talkable one, came forward and said: Don't worry, Zhou Ming, since we have formed an alliance, we will definitely help you think about it.

Before Edward finished speaking, Zhou Ming interrupted him and said: I think I am sorry, Mr. Governor, because I didn't plan to ask you to help me think about it, but I want you to tell me directly what the key points of the Adams family are.

Zhou Ming's words made Edward Lawrence and Louis stunned. They had never expected Zhou Ming to say this. Louis shrugged and said: Mr. Zhou Ming, you are too strange, how could we know what key points? You can't just push the responsibility on us.

I am not urging the responsibility, but you must know that Zhou Ming said firmly that as three families that also control the Brighton Consortium, you intermarry and control the industrial companies you control basically overlap. For three hundred years, in the Brighton Consortium, you have not been so peaceful, so you must know.

Edward Lawrence and Louis wanted to explain something, but Zhou Ming said: I can’t see the problem at first sight. You can’t find it after three hundred years. Then this is no longer a problem of IQ.

Faced with Zhou Ming's words, Edward Lawrence and Louis couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They looked at each other, and finally Edward replied to him: Well, it seems that Mr. Zhou Ming is worthy of being Mr. Zhou Ming. Let me tell you that the key point of the Adams family is at Brighton Bank.
