Chapter 311: Initiating a War

At around 4:30 pm, Tang An drove to the San Francisco International Airport. However, instead of waiting in the exit corridor like other passengers, he went directly to a special reception room. This place is specially for customers picking up private jets. 1Of course, you can't just say you're picking up a friend in a private jet and come in. You need to provide specific information about the private jet and the take-off and landing times, and you can only be admitted after the airport has successfully matched the information.

Tang An After waiting here for about half an hour, Tang An was notified by an airport attendant that the plane he was waiting for had arrived. Tang An immediately got up and followed the attendant into the airport on a shuttle bus.

Then he heard the loud roar of an aircraft engine. A small private jet landed on the runway, the cabin door opened, and a young man walked out.

Upon seeing him, Tang An jumped off the shuttle bus, waved his hands and shouted, 'Mr. Wood, I'm here, and I welcome you!'

As he shouting, Tang An ran towards the passenger elevator, but was immediately stopped by two strong black bodyguards as soon as he reached the opposite side.

'Hey! Watch it my friend, it's not a good habit to run around.'

The black bodyguards looked up and down at Tang An, their eyes full of vigilance. The coldness made Tang An feel a little shiver. He could feel that these two bodyguards had definitely definitely killed someone before. He was also very sure that if he dared to move around recklessly, they would be more than happy to break his neck. There was nothing he could do, so Tang An had to focus his gaze on the young man behind the bodyguards.

'Mr Wood, I'm Tang An. Don't you recognise me? We spoke on the phone earlier,' Tang An said to him.

Wood raised his eyelids and looked at Tang An up and down, and said indifferently, 'So it's Tang An. I'm sorry, I didn't recognise you just now. I thought you were the airport ground crew!'

Undoubtedly Wood's words were extremely provocative, but Tang An did not dare to make a move. He just said with embarrassment, 'Mr. Wood is really funny, ground crew don't care about picking up passengers. 1'

Wood but shook his head seriously and said, 'I'm not joking. Because Mr. Tang An, I have the impression that you should be a very confident person, not like this, more like a dog begging for mercy.'

Tang An was stunned. He had never expected Wood to speak so directly, and it made him feel very humiliated. He lowered his head and said with gritted teeth, 'Mr Wood, you are not right, I really do look like a dog begging for mercy now. This is all because of that guy Zhou Ming, so I'm begging Mr. Wood to come and take revenge for me. I...'

Before he could finish finished, Wood burst out laughing, 'Hey, Tang, I was just joking around, why are you taking it so seriously?'

Tang An looked up, dumbfounded, not understanding the meaning of the joke at all.

At that moment, Wood walked up from behind his two bodyguards, hooked Tang An's shoulders and said, 'Dear friend, I think the most important thing for us right now is to hurry to the airport lounge and sort things out between us.'

With that, Wood and took Tang An to the special lounge where Tang An had been before. Wood rudely entered and sat directly on the sofa, saying to Tang An, 'Now you can talk. What what's going on? You were so anxious to get me here, and you said you wanted to sell me the shares you have in Tang Bank, and you didn't even say it was just because you had a nightmare.'

Faced with this question, Tong An-dun became angry: 'Mr. Wood, that is a very bad memory. There was a guy named Zhou Ming who wanted to get me out of the Tang Dynasty Bank!'

Then Tong An-dun told Wood all about how arrogant Ming Zhou had been at the Tang Dynasty Bank shareholders' meeting, and how he had been thrown out of the building like a piece of trash. 'That bastard, he's doing this to get back at me! I've never ever been so humiliated. I am the owner of the Tang Dynasty Bank, that scumbag who relies on women has no power at all!'

Compared to Tang An angry, Wood remained calm. He tapped his finger on the table and asked, 'So, does that mean this guy Zhou Ming has ruined our plan?'

Hearing Wood asked, Tang An nodded eagerly and said, 'Yes, it's him. He's the one who released Tang Yu from the FBI interrogation room. Now he's trying to take over my Tang Bank. He's the one who ruined all our plans, so we have to deal with him!'

Wood laughed meaningfully. 'Are you serious? But why do I feel like I should thank him? Because if it weren't for him, Mr. Tang An, you wouldn't have thought of selling your shares to me, would you?'

Tang An froze. He didn't expect Wood to think like this, so Tang An could only grit his teeth and say, 'I think Mr. Wood, you'd better not be so confident. It's true that I will sell my shares, but that's on the premise that you can help me solve Zhou Ming's efforts to bring down Tangren Bank. Without this premise, I would rather let these shares rot in my hands than sell them!'

'Do you think you still have any room for manoeuvre?' Wood asked him in return, 'and don't you think your words are ridiculous and contradictory? If I don't help you, doesn't that Zhou Ming find a way to force you sell it to him? Judging from your current situation, you can't get any advantage from him; and if I really help you to ruin Tangren Bank, do you think your little share will be of any use?'

Tang An was stunned again . He thought back to what he had just said, and it seemed that he had indeed slapped himself in the face, which made him feel dejected all of a sudden. A Look at the Book 1

Wood then said to him, 'But I am a very sentimental person. Since I have come to San Francisco, I will definitely help you with your problem.'

Wood then took out a document and said to Don: 'This is an account with the Swiss Bank, and 60 billion US dollars have been prepared for you. Don't say it's not enough. This is the result of our calculation based on the recent changes in the stock price of Tongren bank's stock price movements. You can blame the culprit, and then all you have to do is transfer all the shares you have to me.'

Tang An took the document, he muttered 60 billion in his mouth, and suddenly slammed the document down on the table. He said viciously, 'Yes, all of this is the problem of that Zhou Ming. He moved my money, so I must make him pay the price!'

Finally, Tang An made a decision: 'Mr Wood, don't give me the money yet. It is more important to get rid of that guy Zhou Ming and bring down Tang Dynasty Bank. Or if you need it, you can take over Tang Dynasty Bank for yourselves. Although the collapsed Tang Dynasty Bank is no longer of great value, but please believe me, the investments and assets accumulated by the family over the past 100 years are still very large.'

Tang An's decision undoubtedly made Wood feel overjoyed, because he had originally intended to deliberately scare the poor Chinese man in order to reap greater benefits, but he never expected that Tang An would actually give him all the shares. Even if he were to bring down the Tang Dynasty Bank afterwards, he could even give him the entire bank. This was really good news.

You have to know that the Tang Dynasty Bank is the financial core of the California Consortium, with fixed assets alone amounting to tens of millions of dollars. Even if the Tang Dynasty Bank goes bankrupt, it is still a huge fortune that can support the rise of the consortium.

Of course, Wood does not think he could really bring down the California Consortium, which had lasted for over a century, but even if he could just cause a huge disturbance, just leeching off the consortium would be an unimaginable fortune.

Thinking about this, Wood said to Tang An, 'We are partners. Originally, according to my position, I should not take your wealth. I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. However, Tang An, you still have so many enterprises that need to be rescued urgently, and with the Tang Dynasty Bank being so huge, it needs a lot of financial support. Now that you are still so reluctant to accept, then I can only reluctantly accept.'

Wood went circle, just to simply show that he did not mean to take advantage, but was forced to accept.

'Of course, wealth can only achieve the greatest effect in the hands of the most suitable person. I am not capable of making the best use of this wealth, so I can only hope in you,' Tang An said to Wood.

Wood laughed heartily and said, 'Don't worry, I'll help you put your wealth to good use!'

In this way, Tang An and Wood made a very fucked-up promise in the special lounge of the San Francisco airport. However, it cannot be denied that Tang An's decision also maximised Wood's enthusiasm.

On the day Wood arrived San Francisco, his 100% owned Centenary Investment Bank announced in a highly publicised move that it was investing in Lombardy and Hamilton Insurance.

At the press conference the next day, in front of journalists from across the US, Wood said: 'These two companies have great potential, but have been hampered by certain speculative forces. press conference, Wood said to reporters from across the United States, 'These two companies have great potential, but they have been driven into operational difficulties. This makes me very sad, but in fact, as long as a steady stream of capital can be guaranteed, I believe they will be able to achieve better results! That is why I convinced my board of directors and finally made the decision to invest.'

Next to Wood, Tang An also said cooperatively, 'Centennial Investment is a strong investment company, and Mr. Wood, as the chairman, also has a lot of investment experience. I have benefited a lot from my exchanges with Mr. Wood. The advisory team from Centennial will be stationed in Lombardy and Hamilton within a week. I have great confidence in Mr. Wood's management experience and investment experience, which will bring even better development to the two companies. I personally look forward to it very much.'

'We have always been sure that the future internet market is infinite, and we also need an internet company to prove our ideas. Therefore, today's cooperation with Mr. Tang An is just the beginning. In the future, we will rely on Lombardy to further acquire and merge more internet companies.'

Wood paused here and then continued, 'I know that San Francisco relies on Silicon Valley, and many Internet high-tech companies are emerging. Lombardy has always been at a disadvantage in the past, but that's all in the past . Now, whether it's Yahoo or any other company, they will be eliminated in the face of constant competition. In the end, the only company that will remain is my Lombardy company, and I have full confidence in it!'

Wood's powerful words strongly hammered in everyone's heart, causing everyone to suddenly be shocked and involuntarily feel the stormy atmosphere before a battle. They were actively starting a battle, a battle against San Francisco Network Technology and Insurance Company.
