"Mr. Du, what do you mean by this?"
David Rockefeller was stunned by Du Yongxiao's sudden words.
Du Yongxiao handed over the poured tea and put it in front of him, "You are a smart man. If your bank has nothing to do, how can a trivial matter like mine make you come all the way from New York to London?"
Before David could speak, Du Yongxiao continued: "Let me guess, if you encounter difficulties with funds, are you afraid that I will withdraw money?"
David smiled: "Du, you are really good at telling jokes. How is it possible? How powerful is our Chase, and how powerful is our Locke family?"
"I know your family is very powerful, but it seems that Datong has not received financial support from your family. It has been you who keeps throwing money into it! Sorry, maybe the word 'throwing' is not appropriate, but that is the fact, no. ?"
David couldn't understand Du Yongxiao, and didn't understand why he knew so much about Chase's situation.
Of course, Du Yongxiao would not tell him that he came from the future and had also read a book written by David himself. The book was filled with a sense of accomplishment and the main content was to show off how to build Chase.
At this moment, David's showoff in his previous life has become Du Yongxiao's trump card.
"You're just guessing, aren't you?" David didn't believe that Du Yongxiao knew everything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes contemptuous.
Du Yongxiao also picked up the tea cup: "A month ago, because workers were owed wages for a long time, the government increased taxes, which caused workers in Paris, France to go on strike, known as the 'July Countercurrent' in history. In the end, in order to ease the contradiction, the French government had to Don’t force many factories and companies to pay those workers three months’ salary. Chase Bank’s biggest business in France is to pay wages to those factories and companies on behalf of those factories and companies, three months at a time. Isn’t there enough cash?”
David's eyebrows twitched, his eyes showing slight surprise.
Du Yongxiao continued: "Twenty days ago, the well-known Italian fashion brand Gucci encountered a credibility crisis. It was boycotted by human rights organizations because it refused to use black models to endorse the Gucci brand! For this reason, Gucci had to spend up to 30 million US dollars in publicity fees to resolve this issue. A crisis! And those 30 million originally belonged to your Chase!"
"Ten days ago, another big event happened in your US headquarters, didn't it? Do you still want me to continue talking?" Du Yongxiao held the tea cup and looked at David Crofeller with a smile.
David's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "Why don't I know what's going on? Why don't you tell me -"
"Really?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "There was a counter crisis at Chase Bank's New York Head Office because an old lady failed to pay in time when withdrawing money. Well, to be precise, the old lady also had some energy and turned out to be the wife of a certain embassy counselor. Chapter 1 Your bank made the front page headlines in just two days. If you hadn’t acted quickly, I’m afraid Chase’s reputation would have suffered a lot!”
"But even so, a run occurred in your bank. Many depositors came to withdraw money. Your head office was caught off guard and had to mobilize funds from other banks to provide support!"
After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked into David's eyes and said, "These are all what I heard. Are you right?"
David Rockefeller was so shocked inside!
These are all Chase’s business secrets, how could the other party know?
David couldn't hold it in any longer and looked shocked.
Du Yongxiao, however, felt thunderous in his chest, and without changing his expression, he raised a glass to meet each other: "Drink tea first!"
David was full of questions, so he had to bite the bullet and drink the tea first, and then said: "How do you know these things?"
Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "If others don't know, don't do anything except yourself. This is an old saying in China."
Facing this answer, David was very dissatisfied.
Du Yongxiao said: "My three hundred million may have been a small amount before, but now -"
Du Yongxiao flicked the tea foam with his fingertips, "A feather can bend a weight!"
"What do you want?" David finally understood that the young man in front of him was difficult to deal with. To be precise, he had lost from the beginning. The other person knows a lot about him, but he knows nothing about him.
"Three hundred million, I promise you will deposit it all in the bank and will not raise it! One hundred million of it is mine, and I am going to use it for investment——"
"Invest in what?"
"Your bank!"
Du Yongxiao's words were an understatement, but they were like thunder.
"You want to buy my bank shares?"
"Smart! Mr. Locke is indeed a boss, he can tell you everything!"
"I can give you 100 million U.S. dollars of shares. According to the current market price -"
"No, you didn't understand what I meant," Du Yongxiao interrupted David, "I told you from the beginning, I was prepared to be greedy!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that I am prepared to use one-third of the current market share price to acquire——"
"Impossible!" David immediately refused, "How dare you threaten me with only 300 million?"
"It's not blackmail, it's cooperation."
"I can get cash from the family--"
"If you could, you would have done it long ago! Those brothers of yours are not idle people. They are all waiting for you to make a fool of yourself. Would you beg them?"
"I can also raise funds——"
"That takes time! Time is money. When you finish raising funds, Chase here may have gone bankrupt! The financial empire you dreamed of will collapse."
"Du Yongxiao, who are you?" David stood up with a cry and stared at Du Yongxiao.
Du Yongxiao stood up slowly, with a calm posture and a calm tone: "I am Chinese, from Hong Kong, China!"
"you--"
"I just want to cooperate with you." Du Yongxiao's eyes were blazing. "If we make friends, we can work together across the world! Don't you still want to open a branch in Hong Kong? I can support you then! Even Singapore and Thailand in Asia, I can help too!"
Du Yongxiao's words directly penetrated David's heart.
Does he even know my future plans?
David looked at Du Yongxiao in horror, wondering if he was a human or a ghost?
"No need to guess, I am a human, not a ghost!" Du Yongxiao looked into David's eyes and said, "You don't have much time, either agree now or refuse! As for me, I have to go back and read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", by the way. And the book "Thirty-Eight Letters from Rockefeller to His Children" written by your grandfather!"
"I remember there is another content in the letter. If you want to make a person disabled, just give him a pair of crutches, and then the goal will be achieved after a while. And my three hundred million US dollars is the crutch. As for you, Whether you want to be temporarily disabled or wait until the bank here goes bankrupt, it’s your choice!”
After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he took out the tea money from his arms and threw it on the table, turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time——
"For 100 million U.S. dollars, one-third of the stock price, I'll sell you!"
Du Yongxiao stopped and turned around slowly: "Good choice!"
