Under the couple's gaze, a young man in a gray suit got out of the car.

The man first looked around, as if he was confirming whether he had found the wrong place. Seeing the Dalton couple in the courtyard, the man nodded slightly and immediately walked towards him.

Dalton understood that the other party was coming to him in most cases.

The man walked to the fence a few steps and waved to Dalton, who was less than three meters away, and asked, "Sorry, is this Dalton's house?"

Dalton stood there and asked, "Who are you?"

The man immediately introduced himself and said, "Sorry, my name is Soloman Feferman."

"Are you Mr. Dalton? The author of the movie script "Roman Holiday"?"

Dalton's heart moved when he heard this, nodded and responded, "Yes, I am!"

"You are looking for me for the script?"

Solomon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My luck is really wrong today. The weather is also good. Mr. Dalton, wouldn't you invite me in and sit?"

Dalton smiled, touched his wife gently with his shoulder, walked towards the gate of the courtyard and said, "Of course, please come in!"

He originally prepared for Paramount's script "Roman Holiday", but now that he has been swept out, Dalton is not going to keep it in his hands, so he will sell it if someone buys it.

As long as the price is right.

An hour later, another car parked at the door of Dalton's house, and the person who came was Dalton's lawyer.

Not long after, Dalton personally sent Solomon to the door and closed the car door for him.

When he returned to the house, Dalton's lawyer smiled and said, "Dalton, your luck seems to be improving."

He glanced at the contract in Dalton's wife and sighed: "I have never seen a buyer who buys things so simply and generously."

"This reminds me of the poor and elegant nobles in Europe!"

"But the script is not a useless luxury," Dalton's wife said.

She was a little worried and looked at her husband and said, "Why would he buy your script for any special purpose?"

Dalton thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, this script is about a love story, and there is no need to buy it if you want to buy it."

Thursday, October 22.

Evan received a call from Carl and the stock pledge procedures had been completed. However, the loan from Applied Physics Systems Company has not been received for a long time.

In the era of full paper office, banks' service efficiency is nowhere near as fast as possible.

As soon as the pledged money was received, Carl devoted himself to his new work.

The purpose of this money was determined as early as Evan asked Carl to contact the bank.

The pledged money is 8 million US dollars, of which two million US dollars have been confirmed, and the remaining money will be used for the bank.

Of course, this money is not deposited in the bank, but is used to buy the bank.

Yes, Evan plans to acquire a bank.

Evan's target is the National Bank of China. The name of this bank is very grand, but it is actually a small commercial savings bank that only operates in Los Angeles and has only one outlet. Its total deposits are less than 20 million US dollars.

However, even such a small bank is impossible to acquire the cash with Evan.

However, Citizens National Bank is a bank on the verge of bankruptcy, which gave Evan the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, in order to successfully acquire the target, Evan or Carl needs to defeat many competitors.

The opponents are nothing but the top ten banks in California.

In order to win the opportunity to acquire, Carl's father, Albert Patton, put down the slow-moving Rubik's Cube infringement case and returned to California from Chicago. In more than ten days, Albert visited the presidents or chairman of several banks such as Los Angeles Security First Bank, Bank of California, Bank of America, etc. No one knew the content of the negotiations except the parties involved, but the result was clear at a glance.

Carl successfully acquired 81% of the shares of Citizen National Bank from the original shareholders for less than 5 million US dollars, becoming the bank's absolute controlling shareholder, and the remaining shares were in the hands of other banks.

When Carl completed the acquisition, he had not even had a week left to get the cash from Morgan Stanley, which was very fast.

...

The day Carl completed the acquisition, San Francisco, the headquarters of Bank of America, and the chairman's office.

At this time, Gianni, chairman of Bank of America, a descendant of an Italian immigrant, happened to talk to his son Mario about withdrawing from the acquisition of the Citizen State Bank.

Mario seemed to be against this matter. He felt that the other party was just the governor's son, and there was no need to give in to him with the size of the Bank of America.

Gianni, who is already 78 years old this year, has grown Bank of America from a small San Francisco bank to the largest bank in California today, looking at his fifties-year-old son and said earnestly: "Mario, I know you look down on those so-called politicians and think they are just voice-overs of money."

"But you have to understand that both the power of money and the power of politics are power. Many times, the former is very useful, but at some point, the latter is better."

"And never think that you gave them money, he must bow to you."
