Chapter 354: I will avenge my grudges.

'Father, I don't understand why you called off my press conference at the last minute. You had already agreed to it, and it would have been a good way to deter those trash who still fantasise about relying on that Zhou Ming to deal with us!'

Wood returned to his family's villa, went into his father George's room and said discontentedly, 'George didn't say anything about this, he just threw a newspaper at him.

Wood was a little surprised. He took the newspaper that George had thrown at him. When he saw the news on the newspaper, he immediately stared with a dumbfounded expression: 'A mass run on the Big Wood Bank? How could this happen? Could it be that that scumbag Zhou Ming has done something again?'

George then said to him, 'I think it would be better if you read the whole newspaper before you speak.'

Wood apologised a little awkwardly, then continued to leaf through the newspaper. Soon he froze again, but this time he learned to be wise and resisted the urge to speak hastily. Instead, After reading the entire newspaper, he said, 'Father, I have finished reading the entire newspaper. I only see that the stock of Daewood Bank has plummeted. Could it be that this was all done by that Zhou Ming?'

'According to the data obtained from the market, the decline in the stock price of Daewood Bank this time was initially caused by the selling of some investment companies controlled by the Downes family. Later, when the news of the run on the bank was made public, the stock price began to plummet,' George explained, 'As for the occurrence of the run on the bank, it was caused by a mass message sent out on the paging system this morning. w.cfw◎x.ne△t morning's mass message from the paging station, which was done by Zhou Ming and Martin when they went to the paging station in Taylor District.'

Facing this answer, Wood was stunned for the first time. He could understand that the Down family's selling of bank stocks would cause the stock price to fall, but he couldn't figure out how a pager message with just over 20 words could trigger a massive run on the bank. Could it be does Zhou Ming know some special hypnotic magic? Otherwise, how could he manipulate the thoughts of so many people, and how could these people act according to his script?

However if these two things are separated, then of course the Daewood family is not afraid, but now the run on the bank has intensified, the stock price of Daewood Bank has fallen, and the falling stock price has in turn made the bank make the situation of the bank increasingly difficult. At this time, ordinary people will more easily believe that Daewood Bank is going bankrupt, leading to an even more severe run on the bank. This becomes a vicious cycle.

'Damn it Damn, it really was that bastard Ming Chow who did this!' Wood cursed angrily. Of course, after cursing, Wood also said, 'But Father, since that bastard Ming Chow has done such a thing, shouldn't we retaliate against him even more? And that guy Martin.'

'I of course we should seek revenge, but just a lawsuit is too easy, and we can't take care of the Down family through this lawsuit, so I think we need to find another way.' George looked up at Wood and asked, 'Do you have any way to return all the trouble they have caused us?'

Wood thought about it and replied, 'If I could, I would really like to sell all the shares of the Tongren Bank we currently have.'

'My boy, why is this not possible? It seems that we have not signed any agreement to guarantee ownership of these shares, right? Furthermore George said to Wood, 'Besides, since they don't care about Bigwood Bank, we don't need to care about Tongren Bank either. It has nothing to do with the size of the bank, but is just a way of thinking. If we're going to hell, we can't let Tongren Bank be happy in heaven.'

'That's is true, but that is after all 80 billion US dollars' worth of shares! If if we dump it all at once, I'm afraid the market will find it hard to withstand such a huge impact. The shares will definitely shrink significantly. We can ignore the fate of the Tang Dynasty Bank, but the problem is that our own losses will also be very substantial. Even if we sell it off in parts, it will still have a very serious impact,' Wood said.

George, however, reminded him, 'I think you've misunderstood something. I didn't say we should sell everything now. We can start by calling and threatening him a little. If he doesn't comply and we reach our limit, then we can't help it.'

George said, 'But we don't have as many concerns about Martin.'

Wood a vicious smile spread across his face: 'This mayor is really annoying. He actually dared to help that Zhou Ming create a run on our Wood Bank. I don't think we can be too gentle with him. This time we should be more brutal and just smash his factory.'

'Just won't do. I heard that the people working in his factory are all niggers. We should let these guys know that Martin's factory should not have any workers,' added George, who then added, 'As for the Downes family, we'd better communicate with them first.'

'I I understand, Father. I'll get on with my work then.'

Wood said, and then left the room. Immediately afterwards, he led his men to Martin's factory and started fighting without any words being exchanged. Not only did they smash all the machines in Martin's factory, they also injured all the workers who were working there. During this time, there was no movement at the police station. It wasn't until after the whole incident was over that the police arrived, but they didn't do any thorough investigation, just made a record and left.

This news quickly reached Martin's ears. Martin rushed to the scene as soon as possible, but on the way, he called Zhou Ming's phone: 'Oh no, Mr. Zhou Ming, my factory has already been revenge from the Daewood family. They actually called hundreds of people to smash my factory and injured the factory's security department and hundreds of workers. It's absolutely lawless!'

'This is a very upsetting thing. I think they did it to get back at you for joining forces with me,' Zhou Ming told Martin Martin, 'but it seems that the Wood family father and son have a very strong character. They will definitely retaliate whenever they suffer losses.'

'Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think this is the time to joke,' Martin said.

'I want to say I'm not joking, but since you say so, Mr Mayor, I can apologise to you.' Zhou Ming continued, 'As for the losses your factory has suffered, do some calculations and I'll compensate you in full, including the medical expenses of all the injured workers.'

Hearing Zhou Ming Martin seemed a little incredulous: 'Mr Zhou Ming, are you saying that you will compensate me for all the losses incurred by my factory after the Wood family's retaliation?'

'Is there a problem? Or do you, Mayor do you think I'm the kind of person who can only talk the talk but not walk the walk, and who can't help in any way except by giving advice from behind the scenes?' asked Zhou Ming in return.

'Of course not. I've always thought that Mr. Zhou Ming is a very capable person, so how could he not be able to help in any way except by talking the talk?'

Martin said to Zhou said, but the embarrassment in his words was obvious, because that was what he really thought. But now that he thinks about it, his previous thoughts were really stupid, because no one is an idiot. If if Zhou Ming were just someone who relied on his words to get things done and had no real power of his own, I'm afraid he would have been abandoned long ago. After all, as long as there is capital, there will never be a shortage of clever people in the world.

And now, Zhou Ming is now able to challenge the Adams family in Brighton and has the full support of the California consortium to deal with the Daewood family in Laitie. He must have his own substantial strength.

Thinking about this Martin found Zhou Ming to be so unfathomable. He had originally thought that by teaming up with Zhou Ming, he could control him, but now he looked like a complete idiot. It was like inviting the wolf into the house!

After listening to Martin's for a while, Zhou Ming easily guessed what he was thinking, so he said to him, 'Mr. Mayor, I hope you remember what I first said. I am just a transient visitor. I came here with one purpose and one purpose only: to take revenge on the Greatwood family. After Lady Margaret died, I wanted the Greatwoods to go to the grave with her, and that was it. Do you understand what I'm saying?'

To become the mayor of Mayor of Itely, Martin is certainly not an idiot, and he understands that Zhou Ming's words are reassuring him.

'Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou Ming, but I still have a question. It is said that businessmen do not do business at a loss. So is Zhou Ming just seeking revenge against the Daewood family this time?' Martin asked.

Zhou Ming laughed 'Mr Mayor, I think the question should be asked the other way around. If you defeat the Wood family, isn't their corpse the greatest benefit?'

Martin let out a gasp, and after a long silence, he said, 'I understand,' before hanging up.

At this time, was still in Martin's villa. After all, this was the safest place. After hanging up on Martin, Zhou Ming called Tang Ran's phone. The call was quickly connected. Zhou Ming said, 'Ran, just now Martin's factory in Etly has just been attacked by the Daewood family in retaliation, and the damage is substantial. It may not be able to restart production for a long time. I'd like to ask how things are going on your end.'

Since Ming Zhou spoke with San Francisco on the phone every day, so Tang Ran and the others were also very familiar with what was going on in Zhou Ming's world. Hearing that Martin's factory had been attacked, Tang Ran also said, 'I just received a phone call from the Daewood family, who threatened us not to interfere in any matter of Ettore, or they will sell all the 80 billion shares of the Tang Dynasty Bank in their hands.'

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ran then said, 'But Ming, it's okay. I'm not afraid of their threats. You can do whatever you want, Ming, and I'll support you all the way!'

'I haven't reached the point where I need to sacrifice the Tang family to defeat the Daewood family,' Zhou Ming said with a smile, 'Although the Tang Bank itself has become less important since the transfer of the shares of Jingwei Private Bank and Tang Yin Asset Management, it is still the face of the Tang family after all, and it is better to preserve it.'

'So Ranran, first stabilise the Daewood family, and how are the contacts with other consortia going?' asked Zhou Ming.

Tang Ran nodded in reply 'We have contacted Jack, the head of the Morgan family, who is willing to have a conference call with us tomorrow at noon and participate in our cooperation.'
