Chapter 535 Life Shouldn't Be Like This
With Harry Morgan gone, the meeting has to continue. Now is the time to really talk about interests. Before that, Mellon was just venting his anger on Morgan.
At this time, no one should remain in a state of aloofness, and they will all appear on the stage in person without any image, and will not give an inch for their own benefit.
The scene of the thick neck and the leather shoes flying around did not appear, but the situation where one side said something, and the other side used sharp words to say something, lasted from morning to late night.
In the middle, Juliana brought people in to deliver food. The heavy atmosphere made people breathless, and the two little secretaries who followed her were almost scared to tears.
It turns out that the aura can really be felt, as if the air has become sticky, and a huge stone is pressing on the heart, making people unable to breathe like drowning.
"Li's Holdings is willing to reduce 500 million to 200 million. This number cannot be less. We have 200 banking institutions in the country, including 3 consortium entities. 2 billion is not enough."
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Zitao lowered his standard from 2.5 billion to 2 billion for the first time, and his mind was still clear.
This is their previously planned share. Rockefeller, the Chicago consortium, plus Mellon and Li Zitao, no one can shake the joint strength of the four.
Li's Holdings, which was united by the four companies, wanted to eat most of it at one bite, and the others were unwilling but helpless. The 500 million that flowed out became the target of competition for others.
The previous situation of being united was broken in an instant, and no one was staring at them anymore. Instead, there was a heated discussion on how to divide the "extra" 500 million.
When the meeting officially ended, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning, and the lights in Wells Fargo Bank were still brightly lit.
Although no one asked to work overtime tonight, all the people in the investment department consciously stayed, and Juliana was also waiting for news in the office.
Click, the door was opened, and the little secretary rushed to her in small steps on high heels, and said with a happy face: "Come out."
Juliana stood up and was about to go out, but before reaching the door, she saw Li Zitao who was smiling.
"What's the result?" Seeing his appearance, Julianna's heart was settled.
"Of course... a complete victory." Li Zitao walked up to her with a smile and hugged her. Julianna raised her head excitedly and kissed her. The little secretary looked at her blushing.
"I'm going to be hungry and tired now, those guys are really difficult." Li Zitao rubbed his temples pretending to have a headache, but in fact nothing happened.
After negotiating for a whole day, he became more and more energetic, and his thoughts were clearer than before. Before that, he was still thinking, "The more you use your brain, the more flexible you are." '
"Go to my place, you can eat whatever you want." Julianna showed a charming smile, and the little secretary had already lowered her head and pretended to be a transparent person.
In the dead of night, even on Wall Street, there was not a single person to be seen. Other people had also left by car earlier, most of them were old men who were tired after a long day.
Li Zitao and Julianna came out arm in arm. She usually acted like a strong woman, but now she would bounce forward like a child.
Back at the apartment, before Li Zitao had time to choose, Julianna took off her small suit, unbuttoned it one by one, and chose a "big meal" for him. '
After tossing until dawn, Juliana fell asleep on his arm, with an indelible smile on her lips.
Li Zitao got up from the bed, put on bright brown pajamas and went out, and called two breakfasts in the living room, he must be really hungry.
While waiting for the meal, Li Zitao made a few more phone calls. In the next two or three years, all the companies under his name will be busy.
Li Zitao asked the people in the think tank to hurry up and prepare, and called the heads of the subsidiaries to the headquarters for a meeting, so that they also understand the importance of the next step.
Whoever can dominate the next North American economic recovery, the future belongs to him, and whether they can become a new consortium on par with the established consortium depends on whether they can grasp this opportunity.
...
...
"Everyone cancels the vacation and asks the head of the subsidiary to arrive within 1 day,
I'm going to meet them in the conference room tomorrow morning and tell Rush to come back..."
Seeing her husband dial one after another after answering the phone, Joanna was completely sleepless, lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling in a daze.
After hanging up the phone, seeing his wife's appearance, and seeing that it was still dark outside, he felt a little guilty and said, "I need to deal with some things."
"It's 5 in the morning." The time in New York is about 3 hours earlier than in California. Joanna almost forgot how many times she was woken up by the phone in the early morning.
"...Let's sleep again! If possible, I will come back for dinner." Ben didn't know how busy he would be in the future, and he spent more time sleeping in the club than at home.
But this is his job. It cannot be said that he has enough money now, and he can put down everything and enjoy a comfortable life at home.
For any successful man, his career has already been integrated into his soul and blood. If he is allowed to stay at home every day, tease the dog, and go fishing, the strong sense of gap will drive him crazy.
"Ben." When he was about to leave, Joanna stopped him, opened her mouth, and finally said, "Come back early."
"En." Smiling at his wife, Ben walked out with his coat.
After her husband left, although it was still early, Joanna was not sleepy.
He just lay on the bed and waited until dawn, and when he heard the voice of the servant coaxing his daughter to get up, he sat up weakly.
Joanna and Ben's twin daughters are over two years old, and they are cute and active.
After washing up, she carried the daughters to the living room. The servants brought the toys, and Joanna hugged the two little ones and began to nurse them.
She is in great shape and has plenty of milk, so the little ones have been breastfeeding.
After they were full, Joanna put them next to them to play with toys, and ate breakfast absent-mindedly.
Recently, she feels more and more that this kind of life is not what she wants.
Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, her life is undoubtedly perfect and happy. She has a successful husband who treats her very well and has a successful career.
Living in the Linhai villa on the Gold Coast, there are more than a dozen servants serving him every day, entering and exiting luxury cars, endless luxury goods, and endless jewelry.
The income of an ordinary family working hard for a year is not as high as the price of a pair of shoes.
but...
It had been so long since they had made out that Joanna had almost forgotten that feeling.
Every time he came back, he either had a lot of work to do, or fell asleep when he was so tired, and had to rush back to work the next day.
During the occasional vacation time, most of the time should be allocated to the two little guys.
She's not blaming the children for taking away her happy time, she loves them very much, it's just...it's just that the life she imagined is not what it is now.
