Chapter 349 Ten Banks

In a lounge on the north side of the second floor of the Capitol, Yang Cheng was chatting casually with Richard Durbin's female secretary. Don't worry, this woman is in her 40s by visual inspection, and has all the qualities of a white man. The characteristics that a young woman should have at this age, such as bloated body, pigmentation, etc., even if you put a knife on Yang Cheng's neck, you can't force him to do anything.

"Is Mr. Debin so busy every day?" Yang Cheng looked at the clock on the opposite wall, it was past the agreed 9 o'clock, and asked involuntarily.

The female secretary had heavy make-up on her face, and her bright lipstick was so permeable. I don't know how Debin managed to face this face every day without vomiting.

In fact, she is just a waiter in charge of receiving guests for Debin, she does not have the quality to handle official duties for the party whip, she is an old man in the Capitol.

Feng~sao glanced at Yang Cheng, and replied rather unhappily, "Just wait, if you are lucky, you can see Richard in 10 minutes, if you are not lucky, you have to do it." It’s good to wait for more than half an hour to prepare. Last time, there was an unlucky guy who waited for a full hour. As a result, Richard rushed downstairs to attend the parliament. He didn’t even stay for a minute for the unlucky guy. I felt sorry for him. "

Yang Cheng shrugged. He didn't think he would be unlucky. Although Richard Debin was high and powerful, he would not lose Yang Cheng's face easily. He was a potential God of Wealth.

Sure enough, without making him wait any longer, as the office door was pulled open from the inside, a young man who looked very depressed walked out with his head down.

The female secretary stood up subconsciously, and reported to Richard Debin who came out, "Mr. Debin, this is Mr. Yang from New York. According to the schedule, you will have half an hour to talk."

Richard Durbin looks like a typical politician, his dull blond hair is obviously the result of overuse.

Yang Cheng got up and stretched out his hand from a distance, "Good morning, Mr. Debin, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to meet."

Richard Durbin also greeted Yang Cheng with a smile, and shook Yang Cheng vigorously with his big hand. The two were about the same height, basically at a parallel perspective, with a pair of eagle eyes with a strong color of exploration, looked directly at Yang Cheng, and said politely, " Good morning, it should be an honor to meet a young business genius from our hometown."

Yang Cheng was slightly surprised, "Mr. Debin is also a New Yorker?"

Richard Debin let go, smiled and led Yang Cheng into the office, and sat across the huge solid wood desk, "I am not only a true New Yorker, but also born in Manhattan."

"It's unbelievable. Forgive me, Mr. Debin, for not knowing you well enough." Yang Cheng bowed her head slightly to express her apology.

"No, I don't blame you. In fact, I left my hometown very early to study in Boston. After graduation, I came to DC directly. I have spent very little time in my hometown these years." Richard Durbin said with nostalgia Look recalled.

Yang Cheng cooperated with a regretful expression, but said, "Manhattan hasn't changed much, but since Mr. Debin is from New York, he must want to see a good development in his hometown, right?"

In fact, after receiving the call from McCorbert, Richard Durbin was also guessing the purpose of Yang Cheng's meeting with him. Unfortunately, there were too few bases for his analysis, and he couldn't guess the purpose of this young man Yang Cheng's trip. .

Now hearing Yang Cheng start the conversation, she sat up straight unconsciously, waiting for the text, "Of course."

Yang Cheng smiled brightly, "Then what does Mr. Debin think about the birth of a new multinational banking group in Manhattan?"

Richard Durbin's expression was a bit strange, but he controlled it very well, "Of course this is a good thing, but I don't see any small bank in Manhattan or Wall Street that has such potential."

Yang Cheng sighed. It was really hard to communicate with these politicians. I was too lazy to go around in circles. I took out my mobile phone and called up the memo and handed it to Richard Debin, "Time is precious, why not cut to the chase and make a deal, Mr. Debin?"

Richard Debin took a look at Yang Cheng, put on the glasses and picked up Yang Cheng's mobile phone to look at it. In fact, there was not much content in the memo.

There are only a few names, the names of a few banks to be precise.

"Bank of California, United Community Bank, Legendary Texas Financial Bank, Old National Bank, Columbia Banking System, Penn National Bank, Boston Private Financial, Glacier Bank, Homestead Bank, nbt U.S. Bank..." With reason Chad Durbin read from bank to bank, Yang Cheng's smile became more and more obvious, in stark contrast to Richard Durbin's expression about to gnash his teeth.

The list of these banks is not eye-catching, and the market value is not high, at most three billion US dollars, and most of the funds under their control are around 800 to 900 million US dollars. However, these ten banks have three common characteristics: 1. Behind it is inextricably linked with the financial consortium controlled by the donkey party; second, these banks enjoy a good reputation among the Chinese community; third, their operating conditions are not very good, basically only a few days away from bankruptcy steps away.

As the whip of the Donkey Party, Richard Durbin is very familiar with the assets of the party. He is very familiar with the names of these ten banks. He doesn't need to think too much about Yang Cheng's intention to target these banks. "You want these banks?"

Yang Cheng nodded bluntly, "Yes, in return, New Era Media welcomes Berkshire, MG Chase and Citigroup to invest in it, and will make favorable reports for the donkey party within a certain range."

This condition is quite sincere, but it is not enough to persuade Richard Durbin to agree to this transaction. You must know that the chain reaction brought about by selling these banks to the same company is that even the three in command of his majestic donkey party cannot Controlled, the Fed alone is not easy to pass!

"Not enough!" Richard Debin spit out two words briefly and forcefully.

Yang Cheng said unhurriedly, "Swiss Bordier Bank will be the main force of this acquisition, and then form a new banking group to provide reliable financial protection for overseas Chinese all over the world. After the integration, this new multinational bank will 30% of the shares will be used to exchange with other banking giants or individuals to facilitate mutual cooperation."

In just a few words, Yang Cheng expressed several deep meanings: First, this brand-new multinational bank will be built with the Swiss Bordier Private Bank as the main structure, with guaranteed security and privacy; second, this new bank is aimed at The customers will be Chinese from all over the world and the Z-state consortium that will invest overseas. The market potential is huge; in the end, the Yang family is not going to eat alone, and will take out 30% of the shares for interest exchange. When the transaction is concluded, donkey The party naturally wins the most, and you, Richard Durbin, will get a small piece of the cake too!

A seemingly plain statement actually clarified the bargaining chip in the deal. Whether to accept it or not depends on Richard Durbin's courage. Yang Cheng believes that Richard Durbin is not a saint, and his personal interests must be as far as the insiders of the party are concerned. In addition to benefits, owning even 1% of the shares of a multinational banking group with a combined market value exceeding tens of billions of dollars in an instant is enough to ensure that his status and quality of life will not decline after retirement.

Chi Guoguo's interests are confusing, will anyone not be tempted?

In fact, at the banquet last night, when Yang Cheng learned that Big Mouth brazenly used their family to spread rumors, he instantly thought that this was an excellent opportunity to propose an exchange of interests with the two parties. In desperation, they fell into the arms of the donkey party, and they must pay a price to win them over. On the contrary, in order to seize the opportunity to join the Yang family, the donkey party must add weight to the already tilted balance and expand its advantages.

However, if the Yang family, which was originally in the cracks, can make good use of this opportunity, they can instantly reverse the situation and stand out, strengthen their own hard power, increase their voice, and further get rid of the dilemma of being manipulated by others. The senior member of the senior councilor and the donkey party whip are bound to the board of their own ship, which is equivalent to planting a seed in the Congress. They can use this as an opportunity to cultivate their own ZZ forces. Of course, this needs to be done slowly. Don't worry, for now, the Yang family doesn't have the confidence to take part in the war.

Taking another 10,000 steps back, the bank was originally a powerful tool for the Yang family to widen the moat. Why not take this opportunity to rapidly expand the core and establish the status of the banking industry in one fell swoop?

In the past, I thought of keeping a low profile so as not to attract the attention of all parties, and at the same time provide financial security for my family, but now there is a great opportunity ahead, if we use this to take down the ten banks that Yang Cheng expected, there is no need for the Yang family to keep a low profile .

Richard Debin was very tangled, the tangled was visible to the naked eye, reason temporarily prevailed, "You know, even if the Donkey Party agrees to this acquisition, the Elephant Party and the Federal Reserve will not agree, let alone you can spend tens of billions. cash?"

Yang Cheng already had a plan for this, "I will be in charge of the Xiangdang side. I think they will be happy to see the birth of a traditional bank based on industry. As for the Fed side, it is something you should consider. After all, you have to be worthy of me. The price to pay, isn't it, Mr Durbin."

After a pause, he took a sip of coffee, "As for the issue of funds, MG Chase and Citigroup must be very willing to provide guarantees, not to mention that we will properly use the method of equity replacement to acquire, you don't have to worry about that."

Richard Debin's throat was dry for a while, and he took a sip of coffee. Even though he had been through a lot of weather, he couldn't help but feel nervous when facing the temptation worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He knew that once he agreed to Yang Cheng, then He has no way out, and he will only follow the lead of the Yang family in the future.

What can Yang Cheng think of, a character like him who wanders among the heroes all the year round, can't think of it?

Of course, Richard Debin is not afraid that he will lose his current position if he binds with the Yang family. After all, for the Yang family, it is undoubtedly more beneficial for him as the whip of the donkey party, and he can also use this opportunity to win the Yang family into The donkey party camp has further consolidated his position in the party, and even with the help of the Chinese world, if he wants to go to a higher level in the future, it is not impossible for him to plan. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds and kills three birds with one stone.

But Richard still didn't dare to agree, mainly because Yang Cheng asked too much this time. If he bought so many banks in one go, it would easily arouse the suspicion of interested people. On him, so he has to measure the proportion between the risks he takes and the future benefits, whether it is worth fighting for him once!
