Chapter 356: There is no easy way out

In the end, Ming was unable to convince Morgan, and Ming was also unable to betray Tang's Bank in exchange for the support of the Morgan family, even though at this stage Tang's Bank was not that important to Ming.

And Jack's attitude was also very firm, saying that if there was not enough benefit, he would not only not help the Tang family, but might even side with the Greatwood family.

After all, the current situation is very favourable for the Morgans. He just wants to get the best of both sides and is not willing to give in at all. So in the end, the conference call ended hastily without any compromise.

'I must say, this meeting is very regrettable. Personally, I really hope to see the Morgan and Dow families join forces, but unfortunately, you are too focused on the immediate gains and losses, so you can't see the future. This is also because you are young. I hope that when you look back in the future, you will never regret it.'

These were the last words Jack left behind. Perhaps Jack was very ordinary when he said these words, but now Tang Ran still feels very angry when she thinks back.

'That Jack Morgan, the head of the Morgan family, thinks he's so superior? That's outrageous! He also said that we were too focused on the immediate gains and losses. No normal person would agree to his demands. So now we want him to give us the shares of Morgan Bank, and he's going to agree to that? He's the one who's really short-sighted!

Tang Ran angrily continued, 'And what about focusing on gains and losses? Does he not focus on gains and losses? Then why does he insist on getting shares in Tangren Retail Bank or Tangren Bank? Aren't you people far-sighted? Why can't you see the benefits of cooperating with us?'

Over there Lin Muqing reassured Tang Ran, while Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, 'In fact, I think what he meant by don't regret it was that the Wood family had also approached him and transferred all the shares of General Motors to the Morgan family.'

After Ming, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran suddenly remembered that Jack had indeed said something like that. And from this they immediately thought of an even more terrifying consequence. So Tang Ran immediately said, 'So he's raising the price and trying to get the best of both worlds? He's gone too far, and has no sense of decency at all?'

Zhou Ming couldn't remember where he had read it, but it had been mentioned that for capitalists, profit was the best partner, and all talk of moral ideals was just bullshit! is a very pure capitalist family. Now Jack is the head of this family and faces a young family head. How can he not continue this tradition?

Compared to Tang Ran, Lin Muqing naturally understands a lot more. She took the phone from Tang Ran and asked, 'So what should we do now? If the Morgan family really decides to help the Daewood family against us because of this, then we don't stand a chance in Etrile.'

Zhou Ming of course understands this. The reason he has been able to put the Greatwood family in a difficult position is because he has targeted their weakness of being 'out of money'. Whether it is starting a run on the Taylor District or short selling of the shares of Daewood Bank on the stock market, were all based on this weakness. It can be said that with this weakness, Zhou Ming has found his Achilles heel, and he can make him suffer terribly with just a casual move.

However Now that the Daewood family has received help from the Morgan family and armed their weak point, even if he has all the strength in the world, he will still have a very hard time facing an armoured hedgehog.

You should know that the Morgans are the number one financial family in the United States, controlling 99 seats on the board of directors and owning 16% of the Federal Reserve. If it can be said that the Greatwood family is now most lacking in money, then the Morgans are just the opposite: they have more money than they know what to do with.

It is for this reason, once the Morgan family decided to lend a helping hand to the Daewood family, the Daewood family could easily get rid of the problem of a shortage of funds, and Zhou Ming would no longer be able to cause trouble for him by exploiting this sore point. And the The Wood family, as an ancient family that has stood for over a hundred years, even if there are other loopholes, it is not something that Zhou Ming can find out at once.

As for The tens of billions of dollars in support for the Greatwood family may sound terrifying, but to the Morgan family, it is just a slightly larger investment. He is completely capable of affording it, and even doubling or tripling it is actually not a difficult task. This is the terrifying financial power of the number one American financial family.

Over there Tang Ran heard Lin Muzhen's words and she became even more worried: 'So what do we do now? Why don't you go back to San Francisco first, Ming? It's too dangerous over there. I suspect that the fire last time was the Wood family trying to get rid of Ming along with them. It was Mrs Margaret who saved Ming from the fire. Now that they have the support of the Morgans, they will definitely feel more secure. Therefore, Ming, you are in danger!'

Facing Tang Ran's words, Zhou Ming laughed bitterly in his heart, because after learning about the Daewood family from Martin, Zhou Ming knew that with the Daewood family's control of Etruria, even if he had some protection, he was afraid it would be difficult to leave here easily.

In fact When he first learned that the Wood family had found out about him, Zhou Ming already expected this outcome. He just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and Ming also didn't expect things to suddenly become so complicated. With the Morgan family's involvement, Ming had a hunch that the future of Etrile would not be peaceful.

However of course, Zhou Ming would never say this to his woman. After thinking carefully, Zhou Ming said, 'Don't worry, Ran. Don't you remember what I always say to you? there is no problem that cannot be solved in this world, only minds that are unwilling to work. Although the current situation seems to be very disadvantageous to me, there will always be a solution.'

'Really really? Then Ming, do you already have a solution?' Tang Ran asked.

Tang Ran's question made Zhou Ming a little embarrassed. After all, how could he think of a solution so quickly to a problem that had only just arisen?

Over there Lin Muqing obviously understood what Zhou Ming was saying, so she helped Zhou Ming by saying to Tang Ran, 'Ran, solutions have to be thought of slowly, they don't just suddenly come to you. That's not being clever, that's being wise.'

Hearing Lin Muqing's explanation, Tang Ran immediately felt disappointed: 'So Ming Ge Ge still doesn't have a solution?'

'Of course not,' Zhou Ming said, suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration, 'Maybe we have a way to change the Morgan family's attitude.'

'Change the Morgan family's attitude? Ming, I can try to convince Uncle Tang and the other shareholders. After the transfer of the shares in Kingmark Private Bank and Tang Yin Institutional Asset Management, Tang Bank is not as important as it used to be. It doesn't make much difference whether it is in the hands of the Da Wu family or the Morgan family,' said Tang Ran.

'Of of course I'm not saying to sell the Tang family's property. If that was the case, I wouldn't have waited until now, I would have just agreed to help you earlier. said, 'The solution I am talking about is on the side of the Daewood family. I think you all remember their character of always seeking revenge. We can use their to force Mr Morgan to get involved. In short, they will not let them watch from the sidelines so easily.'

As for Zhou Ming approach, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran were sceptical, but since there was no other way, and they instinctively trusted Zhou Ming, they chose to believe him.

After hanging up the phone the phone, Ming Zhou fell into deep thought. After all, this solution was only a temporary idea that Ming Zhou had come up with, and in fact, he didn't have a clue. And before Ming Zhou had not thought for long, the door to the room suddenly opened and Martin walked in and asked Zhou Ming, 'Have the negotiations with the Morgan family been going badly?'

Zhou Ming looked him and replied, 'Of course not. Why would you think that? Due to some issues on Mr. Jack's end, our conference call was delayed and just ended. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, it was generally very satisfactory.'

Hearing Ming Zhou Martin became confident: 'That's great, with the support of the Morgan family, the Daewood family is no match at all!'

Martin's state of mind was exactly what Zhou Ming wanted, so he continued, 'Mr. Jack told me that they also own a lot of property in Etruria, but perhaps for reasons of confidentiality he didn't go into detail. I need you to give me specific information about this.'

Martin was promptly agreed: 'Of course that's no problem, but after all I'm not from the upper echelons of society and I don't know everything. All I know for sure is that the big businesses like J.P. Morgan Chase, J.P. Morgan Trust, ITT and U.S. Steel have operations in Etly. large enterprises have business on the Itely side. I also know that the Morgan family itself also has a stake in General Motors and has invested in the Angel Insurance Company, which is the only insurance business of the Greatwood family.'

Martin's answer made Zhou Ming was a little surprised by Martin's answer, because he had not expected that the Morgan family would have so many businesses in Etly that overlapped with the Greatwood family.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and then said to Martin, 'So, Mr. Mayor, can you get detailed information on these businesses?'

Although Martin found Zhou request, he agreed, even though he was puzzled as to what Ming wanted the details for.

Once Martin had gone out Zhou Ming let out a sigh of relief, because he needed to create the appearance that he had already teamed up with Morgan. Otherwise, with Martin's admiration for Morgan, once he found out that the Morgan family would also help the Bigwood family, who knows how pessimistic he would become, which is not what he wants to see.

But now the problem is that what he is asking for does not sound like an ally of the Morgans no matter how you look at it. But fortunately, Martin, in his excitement, did not think about it too much and agreed to help him get detailed information about the Morgan family business.

So now for Martin to bring the information. With the Morgan and Greatwood families overlapping in so many business areas, Zhou Ming is confident that he can definitely find a way to drag the Morgans down and bring them over to his side.
