Chapter 420 This Is Robbing a Bank
At noon the next day, the extended Rolls-Royce Wraith 2 stopped at the Pag restaurant.
Tago Giannini is a thin-looking man with sunken cheeks, sunken eye sockets on both sides of the bridge of the nose, and a tall and straight nose.
A pair of eyes are sharp and sharp, like a falcon when staring at people, with a tired look on his face.
"Mr. Tiger, try the lamb chops here, it tastes very good." Li Zitao ate the lamb chops with relish.
"Charlie, the rumors in the newspaper are all false. This is a shameless slander. We are investigating this matter. It would be great if we could get your help."
Tiger used tongs to put a piece of mutton steak on the plate, but he didn't have any appetite.
At this moment, he wished he could chop the three shareholders into pieces and throw them all into the sea to feed the fish to see what good things they did.
If this matter was purely framed, how could things have evolved to this point.
Although Tiger knew before that there were all kinds of perverted clubs in the upper class, it was the first time that it really broke out.
And it happened to involve his bank shareholders. If he had a choice, Tiger hoped he would never have heard of it in his life.
It is a pity that it is useless to say these things now. No matter how angry you are, the important thing is how to save the bank's reputation.
There are no secrets in the upper class. After time has fermented, the Trust Savings Bank has almost become the laughing stock of everyone.
The rumors made Tiger even more angry. He and his wife were now the protagonists of the incident, and Tiger hadn't been out for many days.
"Mr. Tiger, you should know that I never interfere with the News Corp. When I got married in Kauai Island, they were the first to rush to the shore to take pictures. This is their freedom as journalists. How can the public trust the veracity of our reports..."
Li Zitao put on an air of justice, and what he said was righteous, so he almost patted his chest and shouted: Tell the truth and be a conscientious editor.
"I understand that, I just hope that the coverage will focus on those scum, they are a disgrace to America."
Tiger waved his hand angrily, and instantly became an ally with Li Zitao, condemning the three shareholders of the company.
He knew very well that Li Zitao wanted to take advantage of the fire, but he was not too angry.
For them, emotions always come after reason, and being able to make money is the most important thing.
Li Zitao didn't send anyone to investigate, but just let the newspaper industry under his name report freely, which is very face-saving.
They didn't have any communication with each other, they were strangers before, and the other party had no reason to help them clean up.
"How to report is the responsibility of reporters and editors-in-chief of various departments. I don't want to interfere too much." Li Zitao smiled and continued to taste the delicious food in front of him.
"Charlie, are you interested in becoming a shareholder of the trust bank?" Finding that he was not moved at all, Tiger could only come up with the conditions he had planned.
If you don't see a rabbit, don't scatter an eagle. Samuel's advice to him is not wrong at all.
"Oh, tell me?" Putting down the knife and fork, wiping his hands, Li Zitao leaned back holding his wine glass, waiting for the conditions he could offer.
"Three shareholders involved in this matter were expelled from the shareholders' meeting. They also intend to sell their shares. The shareholders' meeting can give up 10%."
Seeing Li Zitao shaking his wine glass, thinking in his eyes, Tago continued, "How about $1.60 per share?"
"Too high." Li Zitao shook his head.
"Charlie, no one will refuse this price." Tiger looked at him with wide eyes.
"That's when you can get rid of the scandal quickly. If it continues to simmer, hehe..." Li Zitao said indifferently.
Tai Ge blackened his face and remained silent. The price was voted by a show of hands at the shareholders' meeting, and the three idiots who did something wrong had to sell their shares.
The three who knew they were wrong also agreed to sell their shares at $1.60 per share.
But if the price is lower, they will lose everything, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the three, and simple things will become very troublesome.
Seeing the other party's complexion, Li Zitao did not urge him, and waited for the other party's answer while tasting wine.
Speaking of which, his plan to acquire the winery has been delayed for a long time due to various matters and financial problems, and it is time to reconsider it now.
"What price do you want?" Tiger asked with gritted teeth bitterly.
Li Zitao put down his wine glass and said seriously: "10 cents, 15% of the shares."
"Charlie, this will drive them crazy." 10 cents evaporated tens of millions in an instant, no matter how ashamed the three idiot shareholders were, they had to jump up and down now.
Isn't this price too harsh? This is not taking advantage of the fire, but trying to swallow the other party's flesh and bones!
Doing so will inevitably lead to new controversies and side effects. This is not what Tiger wants. They need to reverse their public image as soon as possible.
"If an agreement is reached, Alaska Standard Oil can allocate part of the fund allocation and hand it over to the trust bank. Is this condition satisfactory?"
Tago raised his head in surprise and said, "Really?"
"Do I seem to be joking?" Li Zitao spread his hands and smiled.
"Okay, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." Said Tiger stood up, said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Announcing the joining of Li Zitao can stabilize the hearts of depositors and investors.
After he joins, the newspaper industry will definitely drop the target to reduce public opinion, which will also divert some public attention.
Coupled with the ability to obtain a large amount of working capital savings, even if there is trouble, these things add up to turn the situation around in an instant.
The strength of the trust bank has been further improved, and the liquidity of Alaska Standard Oil is enough to make any giant envious.
Even if it is only a part, it is at least hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention that the news of oil in the Persian Gulf has already spread back to North America.
Sitting in the car, the more Tiger thought about it, the more excited he became. He raised his head and looked out the window, and urged the driver, "Drive faster."
He wanted to rush back to the trust bank as soon as possible, call an emergency shareholders meeting, and resolve all the troubles swiftly.
...
...
When Tiger rushed back to the company for a meeting, Li Zitao also returned to the club and called Harry.
"Have someone investigate the three shareholders and release all the news. Regarding the other shareholders of the trust bank, they can do whatever they want."
Things haven't been finalized yet, so he naturally needs to put more pressure on the other party, so that no matter if it's an innocent shareholder or a screwed-up idiot, they will all run hard.
If the plan goes well, he only needs to pay millions to get 15% of the shares of the largest commercial bank in the west.
"This is considered to be robbing a bank!" Hanging up the phone, leaning his body on the back of the soft leather chair and moving upwards, Li Zitao smiled very proudly.
