Wells Fargo Headquarters, New York.

Standing in front of the office window and looking out, the New Year atmosphere on the street has not passed yet.

People wore red scarves, their expressions were full of joyful smiles, and they were no longer in a hurry when walking, slowing down and enjoying the breath of the New Year.

"Charlie, everyone is here." Jonathan opened the door and walked in.

"Where's Julie?" Li Zitao asked.

"In the conference room...Andrew is here too."

"Andrew? What is he here for?" Li Zitao asked in surprise.

"You should ask her, not me." How did Jonathan know that Andrew was not kicked out for the sake of both him and Julie.

For a seven-year-old child to appear at the group's annual meeting, it looks a bit ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Although Li Zitao wanted to say something, if he also demolished Juliana now, he would really light a dynamite barrel.

In recent years, Wells Fargo's business growth has remained above 32%.

Looking at the entire financial industry, this is a level that we can be proud of.

However, Stanley has not been idle in recent years. Especially in recent months, he has been particularly active and has the intention of stirring up trouble.

Eisenhower's election has become a foregone conclusion, and Li Zitao also knows the inside story of the trade-offs and compromises involved.

Although he lost his main business and suffered shareholder betrayal, Stanley still relied on other businesses and his deep connections to gain a foothold on Wall Street.

No one knows the price paid here except both parties to the transaction, but one can only imagine that Morgan must have lost a lot of blood.

In the other party's mind, these accounts are probably all borne by him.

Eisenhower openly dug a hole for him to jump into, and his instructions were indispensable behind the scenes.

Therefore, they must also be prepared to prevent the other party from making small moves to retaliate and test.

If you fall into the other side's trap due to carelessness, no matter how much the loss is, it will be a big blow to the reputation and self-confidence of the rich country.

The higher you are in a high position, the more cautious you must be.

The best way is to take the initiative and rub Stanley on the ground so that there is no room for him to turn over.

But as long as you think about it with your head, you know that this kind of thing can't happen.

The current size and influence of Fuguo has caused many people to worry. If they want to continue to expand their operations...

Although investment banking and savings banking businesses are divided, Wells Fargo only takes the lead in investment banking.

But if necessary and the time is right, what happened to old Morgan may not happen to rich countries.

At this time, the rich countries are undoubtedly in an embarrassing situation.

The shareholders here are very clear about this, but if they just want to change this situation, there is no way to start.

Otherwise, Morgan wouldn't have had to undergo the "conjoined" surgery, which would have been so painful that he would have lost countless years of his life.

Is it necessary to actively divide the rich countries? This idea just flashed in the mind and was instantly killed by everyone.

Doing so won't solve the problem; it's like digging your own grave.

If such a bad move were made, the entire Wall Street would be filled with empty wine bottles and fireworks, and all the investment banks would celebrate for a whole month.

You must never stop moving forward, even if you have a knife on your head, you must move forward unswervingly, forward, and continuously...

As for whether the knife will come down and when.

To put it simply, we can only block it with soldiers and cover it with water and soil.

Although antitrust laws have been improving and progressing, monopoly companies are still active in various forms.

You have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. In the end, it depends on whose method is better.

"Ah~" During the ongoing meeting, a snoring sound suddenly came, followed by a sound of 'thump, thump'.

Who would behave so rudely during such an important annual summary meeting?

Li Zitao frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw Andrew sitting on the chair, lying down like a rogue, with his feet that could barely reach the ground taking turns kicking the legs of the chair, making a sound of 'thump, thump...'

"That's enough." Li Zitao shouted sternly: "What are you doing?"

Andrew was startled. After sitting up straight with his hands on the chair, he said blankly, "I, I, I'm a little tired, Dad..."

"Get out, this is not the place you should be." Regardless of Juliana's expression, Li Zitao said to Annie, "Take him to eat something."

"Andrew, come with me." Annie stepped forward with a smile and extended her hand.

Unexpectedly, Juliana put her hand on Andrew's arm and looked at Li Zitao stubbornly, obviously disagreeing with his approach.

Li Zitao said nothing, but looked at her coldly.

The stalemate in the confrontation continued, and the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly tense, with Davis's expression the most exciting.

Among the four members of the group committee, Li Zitao and Juliana were originally firm allies, and Dick tended to them most of the time.

But now it seems that there is a big problem between them. Coupled with Dick's swinging attitude, Davis can't help but have more expectations for the future.

"Julie." Li Zitao's eyes softened slightly, but his tone remained strong.

At this time, he couldn't bow his head, let alone show any signs of weakness.

Juliana pursed her lips, and finally let go of Andrew's right hand, her face as gloomy as the night before a storm.

"We should talk about business in India. The influence of the British is waning, British capital is greatly affected, and we should take advantage of the opportunity."

Davis said with a smile, and people who didn't know thought he was the groom again.

His tidbits are as good as anyone's. His remarriage last year was his seventh wedding. The bride was a young model who had just turned 18 and had no reputation.

"Dick, what do you think?" Li Zitao looked at him and asked.

Usually at this time, he would always be the first to ask Juliana for her opinion, but looking at her current performance...

"Maintaining business in the United States and expanding international business is a good coping mechanism, which will greatly reduce domestic resistance and hostility."

"Julie?" Li Zitao looked at Juliana again.

"We can consider looking for new partners within Wall Street to provide support." Juliana did not pick up the previous topic.

However, her proposal is still an option.

Davis asked with interest; "What do you mean?"

"What about Bank of America?" Juliana asked.

"I think it's a good choice, with a proven track record on the West Coast, a long history, and..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Zitao sighed, not knowing what to say.

If she really wants to continue like this, maybe their fate will really come to an end.

Li Zitao didn't want to see this day, but Juliana's attitude left him with no choice.

Her ambition was eating away at his reason, which made him ask himself when this situation started and why he didn't realize it until today.
