Jinan International Airport

The giants from all over the world who participated in the meeting are ready to start their return journey. It is necessary to meet here. Jinan Airport also ushered in the busiest day since the day it was established. Originally, Jinan Airport has been expanded due to the energy group. The airport is almost there, but right now it seems that it is still not enough. Some planes actually have to land in neighboring cities hundreds of kilometers away.

There was a surge of people in the waiting hall, and Li Cong took several senior executives of the group to say goodbye one by one. Although he didn't think highly of these people, they were still his customers after all, and it was okay to say a few polite words .

The people in the hall are also in groups of twos and threes. The Skull and Bones Club, Roche and the Chinese Club have basically reached an agreement, and all three of them are also resting in a VIP room. People from some small families can only go outside Stay, these people have privileges wherever they go.

Li Jianzhang didn't come to fly. He will often stay in Jinan in the future. The Chinese Association has decided to let him continue to deal with Li Cong. This is also an assessment for the next president. If this kid fails It is estimated that he himself suffered. This time he came to the airport to see off Yale and old Hodge. The cooperation between these two people in Jinan was good. Li Jianzhang not only hopes that several major organizations can continue If the cooperation continues, I also hope that the personal relationship between the three of them can be better.

Old Hodge is fine. In his opinion, the Chinese society and Roche are the same in his own eyes. They are just cannon fodder for the Skull and Bones Society. Sitting together with two guys, of course they don't show anything on their faces, and they have to be very polite.

Yale looks down on Li Jianzhang a little bit, obviously you are just the heir of a family, one of the two sitting here is the head of the organization, and the other is directly the first leader of the organization, you are an heir in your power It should be regarded as powerful, but it should not be enough for this kind of occasion. The Chinese Association is really too big. At least one patriarch of the six major families should be dispatched for such a meeting.

"You two, our plan has been finalized in this way. After we go back, we will start at the same time. I wonder if you have anything to add? Our Skull and Bones will go to Europe next month. We We will do it next month, I hope you can keep up with us, the world has obviously become luàn through this meeting, we should wipe out some useless forces, right?" Old Hodge looked at the two people The way you deal with it makes you angry. After all, you two are also personalities. Why are you so uncompromising after an alliance? Isn't that a joke for Li Cong? At this time, I have to let me, an old man, use words to suppress you, so that if you continue to fight among yourself after you leave, it will be unlucky for us to follow you.

"Mr Hodge can rest assured,

We Chinese have always followed the rules in doing things, but the terms we negotiated and the three parties still have to abide by them, but I hope that we will not abandon our comrades-in-arms when we are about to succeed. "Li Jianzhang still said the first half of the sentence well, and the second half said to Yale yīnyīn, if Roche had not betrayed the Chinese Association back then, would the Chinese Association have fallen to such a point, if I let myself find something wrong this time Li Jianzhang absolutely wants to withdraw from this alliance immediately, and the Chinese Association can't afford another such loss.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Yale didn't get entangled in this matter, "We are talking about this cooperation now, and Roche's actions are very fast. If you say that the slowest people in this world are you Chinese , I hope that some of the aid promised by Mr. Li will arrive in Europe on time, well, my plane is about to arrive, I will take a step first." Yale does not want to continue to stay here with this guy, this kind of bickering has been going on for a long time After a few days, it was finally an alliance formed by several parties under the strong pressure of the energy group, but only you know how integrated this alliance is.

The reason why Yale didn't argue with Li Jianzhang is that the Roy family went to see Li Cong before leaving. God knows what they got from Li Cong. Such a family has a feud with themselves, let them advance Taking the shot is not only a loss for me, but also my position in the alliance will be shaken. If I can't even deal with the Roy family, I am afraid that the two people in front of me will kick me out of the alliance without hesitation.

Li Jianzhang and Old Hodge both stood up and sent Yale to the gate, and the two of Yale, who had gone away, returned to the VIP room. According to the timetable given by the airport, Old Hodge's plane would take off in half an hour. However, Li Jianzhang will not go back until both of them have left.

"Mr. Li, I believe you should be clear about the fact that Li Cong got tens of thousands of tons of gold through Zhu Ran in South America, right? Now the gold reserve in this guy's hands is really the largest in the world. If this kid uses these If gold behaves mischievously in the financial market, I think our losses should be not small. You Chinese people have always stored precious metals. I don’t know where you are?” When Zhu Ranāo gave Li Cong gold, Anderson told the old man Hodge called, hoping to get a batch of precious metals from the Chinese Association, whether silver or gold, so that he would not be afraid of Li Cong's fanning the flames.

Knowing that they would come to this set, Li Jianzhang glanced at Old Hodge with some dissatisfaction. Even if the gold reserves of the Chinese Association can't keep up with Zhu Ran's, it should not be much different. You guys, how much gold has been cheated on us, and now you are talking about gold to us again, you Americans really have an unusual face.

"Mr. Hodge, I think the amount of gold in our Chinese Association should not be too much. Although I haven't touched that level yet, the last time we joined forces with Roche to speculate on gold, it definitely used our capital. But In the end, less than one-third of the gold came back. We still have some gold reserves, but we have to save them for the final use. If Li Cong really does something in the gold market, I don’t think we can help much. "Li Jianzhang actually said that on purpose. Even though the Chinese Society lost so much gold last time, there is still a batch. Although the amount is incomparable with Zhu Ran's, it is still not enough to take out a few thousand tons. The problem, the reason why I say this is just to see what price the skeleton will buy.

"It turns out that's the case. It's our fault that we didn't see clearly at the beginning, but Yale is a bit dishonest in his actions. If it weren't for him, you probably wouldn't have lost so much." Now Yale is no longer here, old Huo Naturally, Qi would not have so many worries when he spoke. Even if Yale found out afterwards, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, you heard it yourself. Could it be that what you Li Jianzhang said is nothing?

"Our Skull and Bones Club's Bank of America in Hawaii is about to be transferred, but we haven't found a buyer yet. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested?" Old Hodge continued, and the price offered this time is not low.

Bank of America is the largest commercial bank in the United States in terms of assets; for 26 years, it was the third largest company according to Forbes. The establishment of the bank can be traced back to 1 second oldest bank.

Hawaii area? It's an old American place there, and it's useless for my own Chinese association to own such a big bank there, and it's more affordable to come from the Asia-Pacific region.

Bank of America is currently undergoing reforms, that is, implementing the method of franchising in some unimportant areas. The performance of Bank of America in Hawaii has not been very good, so the old Hodge said that even if the performance is not very good, it is relatively ranked. For Citibank in front of it, this branch can still reap tens of billions of RMB every year. Of course, the main income of the bank is not the money it makes, but the biggest income of the bank is its influence.

"Mr. Hodge, our family wants to carry out a new round of expansion in the Asia-Pacific region recently. I wonder if Mr. Hodge can help me contact Bank of America's business in the Asia-Pacific region. The scenery in Hawaii is pretty good, but we are over there. We can’t stand firm.” Li Jianzhang said in a bit of a dilemma, the Asia-Pacific region has always been the third most important region for Americans after the mainland and Europe, and it is basically impossible for Bank of America to give up its business in the Asia-Pacific region. But we are asking for a lot of money, the rest depends on how you counter-offer, you can't even give a chance to bid, can you?

Sure enough, he didn't think much about Li Jianzhang? You kid has a big appetite, a bank in the Asia-Pacific region? I really don't know how you dare to mention it? The annual profit of the Bank of America division in the Asia-Pacific region is more than 25% of that of the entire Bank of America, which is the highest among all overseas divisions. It is simply impossible for Bank of America to give up the Asia-Pacific region.

"Mr. Li, I think we shouldn't talk about this matter. I was talking too much just now." It's not that old Hodge has never seen greedy people, but all those who are greedy for him are dead. If the person in front of him hadn't My ally, if I hadn't been able to use him, he would be a corpse at the moment, and at the same time, I was lamenting that the influence of the Skull and Bones Society has dropped so badly, that in just a few years, someone wants to seek the Skeleton It's an asset, it's really courageous.

"Mr. Hodge, don't be angry. Jianzhang was abrupt just now. I don't want the entire Asia-Pacific region. I just want Hong Kong and Macau. I don't know if it's okay?" Li Jianzhang saw the old Hodge. The guy was really a little angry, and quickly expressed his bottom line. How could an old guy like Hodge, who is in his tens of years, get angry when he just said that he was angry? He was just acting, and there was only this guy He didn't see anything, and directly quoted his reserve price.

Hong Kong and Macau? Hearing what Li Jianzhang said, Old Hodge showed a little relief on his face. In fact, there was still a smile in his eyes. Bank of America in Hong Kong and Macau has 16 branches, and their performance is basically not very good. Speaking of which, the Chinese still trust the banks opened by the Americans, so they can barely maintain it. However, the Hong Kong and Macau regions are slightly better than the Hawaii branch. If they really want it, it doesn’t matter if they give it to them. Besides, Hong Kong and Macau are Li Cong's stronghold, so it's not impossible for you Chinese to make trouble by yourself.

Although I think so in my heart, I can't express it so simply, otherwise it will hinder my next request.

"Hong Kong and Macau? Mr. Li really knows how to choose a place. Do you know that it took decades for our Bank of America to develop in Hong Kong, and now the credit in Hong Kong is basically no less than that of your Chinese government? Bank of China, you must know that Bank of China is a bank that issues banknotes. We are not. Don’t say that we have no plans to transfer it now. Even if we do, the price will not be low. If Mr. Li needs it, I can help you go back. Let me mediate, but I can't decide what the outcome will be." Old Hodge was very embarrassed, obviously happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Hodge. In fact, didn't you discuss the price with the chairman? Although our Chinese Association is a little nervous about gold and silver, there is no problem if we sell one or two thousand tons. , I just hope that you can give us a little discount on the transfer price. You are also aware of our loss last time. In the past few years, we have been suppressed by Li Cong. It is really difficult for our Chinese Association to finance." Li Jianzhang also I'm not a fool, I just realized that I've been fooled by old Hodge. Since the old guy said he can mediate, there is basically a 60% hope. It's ridiculous that I thought he was really helping As for themselves, in fact, they themselves may also have this meaning.

Although the amount of one or two thousand tons is not a lot, it is better than nothing. Besides, this matter cannot be decided in a day or two, and neither of them continued to talk about it because of this matter. The upper-level people talk about the next general, and the lower-level people will discuss some specific figures.

"I said why didn't I see Mr. Hodge? It turns out that he is here." When the two wanted to talk about other issues, Li Cong happened to pass by the door and came in when he saw it. I can't be that lukewarm. A few years ago, this person was in the same position as me, a giant in the Skull and Bones, but now he is at the same level as the president, maybe higher than the president. It is even higher. Although the overall strength of the energy group is still not as good as that of the Skull and Bones, the Skull and Bones belongs to six major families. Even if the chairman's family is bigger, it cannot catch up with the energy group. This is Li Cong alone. of.

Li Cong followed Li Yan, the director, and Liu Yan, the executive vice president. The three giants of the group had all arrived. Originally, the three were separated. Hodge has a special status. There is also Li Jianzhang here. Naturally, the three of them came together. At Yale, Li Cong arranged for his nephew to see him off.

"Hehe, we're going back after the meeting. We'll go on our own, and it's a sin to bother Mr. Li and the two vice presidents to see us off." This old guy's Chinese is getting more and more fluent , Even some of the polite words of the Chinese are so true, if you change his shell, you may think that this old boy is a Chinese.

"What did Mr. Hodge say? When I was in the United States, every time I returned to China, I remember that Mr. Hodge sent me off the most times. When I think about it, five or six years have passed. It's better then." Li Cong said with a pun, and the aftertaste on his face reminded the old Hodge next to him that he also remembered the honeymoon period at that time. At that time, the hands of making money were really weak, and there were not so many things. wrong? Why did this boy Li Cong suddenly mention this? Even if he wanted to reminisce about the old days, didn’t he already said it when we first met? Why is it coming again now? Not knowing what Li Cong meant, this kid set himself up again.

Old Hodge was known as the old fox in the United States, but he didn't expect Li Cong to show him one in Asia.

How could Li Jianzhang not be angry in his heart? The Chinese Society was so beautiful back then. He didn't think highly of people like Li Cong. I didn't expect that this person would join the Skull and Bones Society to trap the Chinese people. The most serious time, these two guys actually missed the past in front of themselves at this moment, how could they not be popular? If my quality is not good, I am afraid I will fight Li Cong directly.

"My time is almost up, so I will take a step ahead. I welcome the two Mr. Li to come to the United States next time, and I will definitely do my best as a landlord." Explaining is to cover up, and saying anything at this time is superfluous Well, old Hodge looked at his watch, and he will arrive at his plane in 20 minutes, but it's not interesting to be here now, it's better to leave early, as for the two Mr. These two people are gone, Li Cong, you can sow discord, and it's not like we can't.

Hearing that the old guy was leaving, Li Jianzhang and Li Cong said a lot of nasty things again. I don’t know if I really thought that Li Cong really wanted to keep him. In fact, I wish these Yankees would go away. Never come back, it's better to fend for yourself in the United States, and you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
