Chapter 313: The prelude to the attack

Zhou Ming hung up the phone after he finished speaking, which shocked Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin. They stared at each other with blank expressions, and then asked Zhou Ming in a daze, 'You...just hung up the phone? Didn't you want to ask him to meet and talk? This is too rash, isn't it?'

Zhou Ming shrugged and replied, 'It may have been a bit hasty, but it didn't really matter. After all, his attitude was already so clearly expressed over the phone, so what's there to talk about? Everyone just does what they need to do and we'll see how it turns out in the real world.'

See what the truth is in the end. Now that they have taken the initiative to call, and finally have the opportunity to chat, he just put on an aloof attitude on the phone. Your boss well, he actually hung up the phone directly. If that person is pretending to be arrogant, then aren't you being even more arrogant than a pig's head?

Tang Jingsheng was scolding Zhou Ming in his heart, although he didn't show it on his face. He just said, 'I'm sorry, I don't understand.'

From the lax expression on the other party's face, Zhou Ming naturally had no difficulty guessing what he was thinking, so Zhou Ming said to him, 'Then let's think carefully about what he actually said. First, he said he had prepared tens of billions of dollars for Lombardy and Hamilton, and then he also said that the ten percent of the shares in Tang An's hands would also be transferred to him in the future.'

Tang Jing Sheng and Tang Huiyin nodded, clearly still impressed: 'So what does that mean?'

'It means that he is in no position to compromise with us on this matter,' said Zhou Ming.

Seeing that Tang Jingsheng, they both looked puzzled, so Zhou Ming had to continue, 'Then let's analyse it bit by bit. What do you think of the scale of the two companies, Lamborghini and Hamilton? Do you think they need tens of billions of dollars to compete?'

The words was astonishing. It was only when Zhou Ming said this that Tang Jingsheng and the others reacted with a start. Although the two companies, Lombardi and Hamilton, were often described in the media as 'powerful big companies'. But that is only the case for ordinary people. After all, they both have more than 1,000 employees. But in the eyes of a large consortium, they are not "very ordinary small companies", and they are not the kind of large company groups that require tens of billions of dollars in investment.

Moreover You have to understand that the development of a company is a gradual process that cannot be achieved simply by investing more money. You cannot just invest tens of billions in a small business and turn it into a certain treasure, or invest tens of billions in computer seller can become Dell with a few hundred billion yuan invested by you. If that were really the case, these super-sized enterprises would become a bit too cheap.

They say that will strain the eggs, then this time preparing 10 billion will directly go to the sky, but is it more harmful to the company?

If it is ordinary person who doesn't know how to run a business would think this way, then it is understandable, but Wood, who has been influenced by his family since childhood, also thinks this way, then it is very unreasonable.

Tang Jingsheng said with a furrowed brow, 'This is indeed very illogical. So are you saying that he said it on purpose? The purpose is to scare us or that he is spending all this money to save all the companies under Tang An's control. If that's the case, then it makes sense.'

Zhou Ming, however, said, 'If that's the case, then I'll feel relieved, because he'll have to spread so much energy elsewhere that he'll definitely be unable to do anything well.'

Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin both grew up in the business world and naturally understand this. If you have enough energy and money to focus on a particular investment, you will probably get a good return, but if you invest in many places at once, it will be easy to be overwhelmed.

'To say that it is scare is also not right, because he then mentioned the ten percent of the shares in Tang An's hands.' Zhou Ming said.

Tang Jingsheng suddenly remembered something: 'Zhou Ming, are you saying that this money was originally intended to buy those shares from Tang An?'

Zhou Ming shook his head his head: 'I have no idea what the actual situation is, but at the moment it seems that there is no other explanation.'

'This damned Tong An, he actually wants to sell his shares to someone else? He is a traitor to our Tong family, the greatest disgrace!'

Tong Jingsheng said angrily. He couldn't help but be angry. In the past, no matter if Tong An argued at shareholder meetings or did other things, he was always doing it under the banner of protecting the Tong family. . But now he has openly colluded with the Wood family to hand over ten percent of the shares of the Tang Bank to an outsider, giving the outsider the opportunity to take control of the Tang Bank. Faced with the possibility of bringing down the Tang Bank, which his ancestors worked so hard to establish, how can Tang Jingsheng not be angry?

'At the moment no need to panic yet, because I believe Tong An will definitely keep the shares in his own hands. He will only sell them once Wood has done his job,' Zhou Ming speculated.

'I don't care whether he sells or buys the shares now, we must stop him from doing so!' Tang Jingsheng said, 'As the head of the ancestral hall clan association, I must not let this happen. Zhou Ming, you tell me what to do, I will cooperate with you! My purpose in life is for the family!'

Two flowers bloom Each side of the story. After Tang Jingsheng formally agreed to follow Zhou Ming's orders, on the other end of the line, Wood stood there stunned as he listened to the busy signal keep coming through.

Did someone just hang up on him like that?

It seemed that Wood wasn't willing to accept this reality. After all, as the successor of the big Wood family born with a silver spoon in his mouth, even the governor had to be polite when he saw him. How could anyone dare to scold him like this and hang up the phone after that? This is taking him too lightly!

Tang An saw Wu De was standing there dumbfounded, and when he saw what Zhou Ming had done, he guessed what had happened. He boldly went up to Zhou Ming and said, 'Mr. Wood, did that guy Zhou Ming say something else? You mustn't get angry, after all, he's just an idiot, and you shouldn't take it personally. In fact, I'm I'm used to his attitude, which is why I advised you not to call him when you first said you were going to. That bastard doesn't know anything about attitude or respect!'

Tang An said this said this deliberately, but it sounded natural. As soon as his words had finished, Wood said again, 'Then we'll teach him what a respectful attitude is. Our plan will start immediately.'

'I've been waiting to hear you say that!'

Tang An said to Wood said to Wood, then turned around, his face showing an uncontrollable smile, thinking to himself: Zhou Ming, I never thought you would dare to do it, but I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't think Mr. Wood would have really been angry. So, from now on, you just wait and see the consequences of your anger!

But at this Wood's voice suddenly came from behind: 'Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You simply hate Zhou Ming, but you don't want to not the ability to directly face him and the entire Tong family, so it's like using my hands against him, and you even went so far as to take out 10% of the Tong Bank's shares. Am I right?'

Wood's words came one after the other sent, Tang An listened with a chill running down his spine, because that was exactly what he had been thinking. He had even thought that it would be best if Wood and the Tang family, along with that Zhou Mingdou, were to be destroyed, and he himself came out at the end to clean up the mess and take control of the wealth. If he was a bit , he would be able to split the Downes family without paying any price and get a lot more wealth than he has now.

Tang An has not received countless likes, but now it seems that his thoughts were naive. The heir to the Wood family was a bit arrogant, but not an idiot.

Thinking about this , Tang An turned around and apologetically said with a smile, 'Mr. Wood, why would I think such a thing? Of course I hate that Zhou Ming, but even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare plot against you...'

Before Tang An could finish finished, Wood stopped him and said, 'Shut up, trash. You don't need to say this to me at all, because you can't plot against me. What I do is what I want to do. Do you understand?'

Tang An actually understand what Wood had said, but he still nodded desperately and said, 'Of course I understand. Mr Wood, you are very clever. All my little tricks seem like a joke to you. You do everything according to your own ideas!'

Wood shook his head disdainfully and said, 'It seems you still don't understand. This matter is not as simple as you think.'

Then Wood said, 'Never mind, it doesn't matter. We will just continue as planned.'

Tang An nodded and said, 'No problem, I've already contacted several media outlets in San Francisco, and they've promised us the best time slots, as well as outdoor...'

Wood once again interrupted interrupted Don again, 'This is not enough. You need to know that we currently have 70 billion in our account, so you don't need to worry about any money problems. What we need now is to open up the market through investment. Do you understand?'

'So our need to expand, I want all the TV stations in San Francisco to broadcast Lombardy and Hamilton, as well as all outdoor, including the most conspicuous large screens, as well as the most heavily trafficked bus stops and rail stations. These places must have our most eye-catching presence! 'Wood thought for a moment and said, 'In addition, our needs to make some special adjustments.'

Tang An looked at at Wood, and he didn't understand why the one he had just created needed to be adjusted.

Wood said, 'Because ours is too soft, I need something a bit stiffer. I need to fight the publicity war with our competitors, and I need to dominate the San Francisco market. I don't care if it's the patient in the hospital bed, the white-collar worker at work, or even the child in kindergarten, they must all know about our products, and at the same time, they must like us and hate other brands!'

Tang An was shocked . He then understood why Wood had mentioned the tens of billions of dollars directly to Zhou Ming on the phone. He had originally thought that it was just a threat, but hadn't thought that he might actually use that kind of money. It was just such a massive publicity campaign.

After all, it was very money, not to mention something as overwhelming as his, which was completely created by throwing money around.

As for the question of revenue is not something to be considered now. After all, if the market in San Francisco can be captured through publicity, then no matter how much money is invested, it can all be earned back. Only mediocre people who lack vision and confidence in themselves would hesitate to invest.

Thinking about this, Tang An smiled again. Although he didn't know Wood's real reason for doing this, as long as the Great Wood Family was fully mobilised, he believed that he could stabilise his company. And as long as he could stabilise the downward trend, he would be able to gain the trust of his other Tong siblings, and it was even more likely that he would meet Tang Jingsheng. They want to get personally involved.
