Chapter 360: The Cycle of Suspicion

'We continue to target the Daewood family by recruiting commentators to spread negative news about Daewood Bank in the media. news, make the bad assets of Daewoo Bank public, and short sell the shares of Daewoo Bank on the stock market. In addition to Daewoo Bank, Daewoo Bank Holdings's Ruibo Insurance Company and Hanson Trust Company should also be targeted. We can even find reasons to directly file lawsuits across states!' Zhou Ming said. 

With these words, Zhou Ming, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran froze over there. Originally, when they heard Zhou Ming say that there was a better solution than the original one, they were how happy they were, thinking they would hear something that would blow their minds. But when Ming actually said it, it was obviously far from what they had expected.

'Brother Ming, isn't this our original decision? We'll go after the banking sector to deal the Wood family the biggest blow. But didn't you say that was based on the Wood family's lack of money? Now that the Morgans have intervened, they are the number one financial family in the United States. They are very rich, and even if you count the wealth of the entire state of California, it still won't match theirs,' said Tang Ran.

Lin Muqing also said, 'Yes, Zhou Ming, what exactly are you thinking? Why were you afraid before, but now that you are certain that the Daewood and Morgan families have joined forces, you are letting go? Isn't that a bit contradictory?'

Tang Ran suddenly asked, 'Could it be that Ming Ge you see something wrong with that Miranda, that he is deceiving us, right?'

'Of course not. I already told you, whether from our subjective feelings or logically, I don't think Miranda is fake, or or even if his identity is fake, he would not deliberately give us such a wrong message, because this would not benefit either the Wood or the Morgan families.' Zhou Ming said, 'In fact, I would say this, or Dave reminded me that there is suspicion in this world.'

'Dave reminded me of suspicion?' Lin Muqing and Tang Ran were both confused by Zhou Ming's words and had no idea what he was trying to say.

It was true that Zhou Ming had deliberately gone to see Dave today, but just now he said that Dave was just an ordinary person who didn't understand what was going on. And more importantly...suspicion? What kind of reminder is this? It seems that no matter whether you have been to school or not, you can understand the meaning of this word, right? Isn't it because you are uncertain about something in your heart that you will suspect without any basis?

Did Dave remind them to suspect someone? Or to suspect something?

Lin Muqing and Tang Ran could not understand at all, and Zhou Ming knew that they were puzzled, so he told them something. After he and Miranda separated, Miranda fired Dave, and Dave misunderstood that he had instigated Miranda to fire him, so he angrily called to vent his emotions.

But after hearing this story, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran not only did not understand it at all, but were even more confused. They had no idea what connection there was between this misunderstanding and the problem they were currently facing.

Zhou Ming had to make it clear: 'It is because of suspicion that Dave misunderstood me. Put simply, it is a matter of psychology. Dave and I are two independent people, so once something very special happened, he would instinctively suspect me and finally misunderstand me.'

'I think I understand a little. The reason you are so determined to target the Daewood family, Ming Zhou, is to create suspicion between the Daewood family and the Morgan family,' Lin Muqing speculated.

'Yes, originally I was just using the squeeze and short selling in the stock market to target the Daewood Bank. Although it made them look very embarrassed, it was still within their acceptable range . But now, after my conference call with the Morgans, the attack has become all-out and almost reckless. The Daewoos can't help but doubt the Morgans,' said Zhou Ming.

Tang Ran suddenly understood, but then she asked, 'But Ming, didn't you clear up the misunderstanding after talking to Dave?'

Zhou Ming naturally picked up where Tang Ran left off and said, 'So Ranran, you're saying that even if the Daewood and Morgan families develop suspicions, they can ultimately communicate and reconcile, right?'

Tang Ran said timidly. Zhou Ming continued, 'It seems that this is indeed the case, but you seem to have forgotten that Dave and I are just two individuals with no conflicts of interest, while the Daewood and Morgan families are groups with conflicts of interest. Therefore Once something happens, the Greatwood family will suspect the Morgans, and even if the Morgans take the initiative to explain and clarify, the Greatwood family will continue to suspect them.'

'This is a simple chain of suspicion. You will suspect what I am thinking, I will suspect what you are thinking; even if you know what I am thinking, I will know what you are thinking, but you will still suspect what I am thinking about you, and I will suspect what you are thinking about me; even if you know what I am thinking about you, I will know what you are thinking about me, and you will still suspect how I think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how you think about how you think about how I think about how here, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing, 'Isn't this very difficult to say? It seems like an endless cycle of suspicion, doesn't it? is actually the relationship between the Daewood and Morgan families. Perhaps they can cooperate because of the concessions of one side, but the foundation of their cooperation is very fragile. As long as something happens that threatens one side, their cooperation will be suspended due to endless suspicion.'

Over there Lin Muzhen suddenly understood when she heard this: 'Yes, and the Morgan family has always been capital infiltrating Etruscan. It can be said that they have a competitive relationship, and under this kind of relationship, they cannot completely trust each other.'

'Originally can't completely trust each other in the first place, and now that we've done something so obviously directed, the fragile bond that maintains their cooperation will naturally collapse.' Zhou Ming continued, 'Of course I know that the Morgans will take the initiative to seek clarification and explanation from the Daewoods, but unfortunately George of the Daewoods is no longer three years old and will believe in everything.

'Therefore George will definitely think that the Morgans are deceiving him in order to take over Etray's territory, so he will tear up the cooperation agreement with the Morgans and even fire on the Morgans' property to seize the initiative.' Tang Ran took over from Zhou Ming's train of thought and said:

'This is very possible, because that is the original sin of capitalism, because greed leads to suspicion,' said Ming.

Ming, but do you think the Morgan family has any chance of reconciling with the Daewood family? I I mean, in this case of suspicion, it's not really a reconciliation, but a temporary suspension of the dispute, so that they can work together against someone else.'

'Of course there is,' said Zhou Ming. This answer was unexpected but reasonable, but it made Lin Muqing and Tang Ran nervous all of a sudden.

Zhou Ming continued, 'If the Morgans are willing to give up a sufficiently large amount of their interests to prove their sincerity, they may be able to temporarily break this chain of suspicion. Just like Dave and I. I paid him 60,000 USD in compensation and promised him an annual salary of 100,000 USD. This sum was not a lot of money, but it was more than he had expected, and since I was so sincere, he naturally had no more doubts.'

'But the Morgans would not be able to come up with anything that would convince the Woodses of their sincerity, because they had originally come to take advantage of the situation. Now that they had not been able to take advantage of the situation and had even lost money, they would never agree to it,' said Tang Ran.

'Or or say that even if the Morgans can muster the resolve and sincerity, the Daewoods will be suspicious. How could the greedy capitalists be willing to do that? Is there some kind of trap? They are just trying to be nice. In addition the Morgans would also be suspicious, wondering if they were being deliberately nice even though they had shown enough sincerity. They would fall into another cycle of suspicion,' said Lin Muqing, picking up on Tang Ran's train of thought.

Zhou Ming nodded, agreeing that this was the way to go. Tang Ran on the other end of the line was excited, saying, 'You're right, Ming. I was surprised at first that you could come up with such a great plan. I thought you were just joking to cheer us up, just like before.'

Lin Mu Qing also said, 'Yes, at first I heard that our original plan was a conspiracy between the Wood and Morgan families, and I was almost desperate. This was an unsolvable situation, but I never expected that you, Ming Zhou, would solved it so easily, and after solving it, it seems that our situation is a little better than it was at the beginning, because after the collapse of the cooperation between the Morgans and the Greatwoods, they only have us as a partner.'

Lin Muqing said, 'A seemingly ordinary idea solved all the problems, and in this situation, there is really no other way to think about it. But I believe that you are the only one who could think of this solution.'

Zhou Ming smiled meaningfully, even Lin Muqing and Tang Ran were embarrassed by her praise, so Zhou Ming said, 'Sister Muqing, in fact, I only came up with this after I got a hint from Dave.'

Zhou Ming would say this, it is not really just off the top of his head, because he did think of it after Dave's misunderstanding. In the future, he read a very famous science fiction novel, which introduced the chain of suspicion. It was aimed at two civilizations, so it can be applied to two capitalist families now, at least the concept is the same.

However, Zhou Ming did not dwell on this issue for long. He then added: 'However, if this is to succeed, we must act quickly, because we can only make the Greatwood family suspicious if we act after talking to the Morgans. If the Greatwood family and the Morgans act first, it will be hard to predict the outcome.'

Lin Muqing and Tang Ran both nodded in agreement, and then they hung up the phone and prepared according to Zhou Ming's method. However, at this time, they still did not know that another unexpected event was taking place.
