Chapter 364: How old is Mayor Martin?

'Morgan's behaviour is like providing gold coins for a cruel king and fresh blood for a demon. It is an act that tramples on fairness and justice! The $15 billion in toxic assets of the Bigwood Bank is ironclad evidence of their illegal insider trading, but now JPMorgan Chase is buying it all, is this a kind of selling stolen goods?'

'There was also the dumping of shares in Tang Bank by Morgan Investment Bank and six other investment banks. We don't know what kind of consideration was involved, whether it was following the trend of speculation or some other conspiracy? But no matter what the reason, this is very irresponsible behaviour. We hope that JPMorgan can face up to the current financial situation, otherwise Tang Bank will also retaliate against the JPMorgan family. Even if there is another great depression, it will be caused by JPMorgan!'

These were the exact words of Tang Ran, the chairwoman of Tang Bank, when interviewed by the media on the morning of 25 April. Her words shocked the entire United States. [[〈〔[The

Wall Street Journal exclaimed in alarm: 'The words of this Chinese-American girl will start a financial war of the highest level!'

Other financial newspapers also commented: once the Dow family retaliates against the Morgan family, it will cause huge turbulence in the stock market, and perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars will be lost in this turmoil. and perhaps even cause a depression like the one half a century ago. Even the professors and tutors at the School of Economics generally believe that the Tang Family has no chance of winning when they don't have the support of others.

In addition to the financial media, other media have also expressed their own editorials, calling on the Tangs to exercise restraint and calling on the relevant departments to crack down on JPMorgan's speculative behaviour. They believe that if the Tangs really start a revenge, it will definitely affect the entire US financial order. From the east coast to the west coast, many companies will go bankrupt in this turmoil, and many more people will lose their jobs as a result.

Of course, some media outlets have also focused on Tang Ran, and they are shocked that such a young girl could say such strong things to Morgan.

Morgan may have thought that Tang Ren's new chairman of the board was a young girl and could bully her with impunity, but they were wrong this time. Although the girl may be young, has the unyielding strength and tenacity of the Eastern civilisation. Morgan thought he could shamelessly take advantage of her, but Tang Ran shouted at them that she would retaliate at all costs.

It was clear that Morgan had kicked against the iron this time, because this girl would not hide in her boyfriend's arms and cry, but would retaliate with an iron fist like Margaret Thatcher.

And with the feminist newspaper's coverage of Tang Ran, the whole of the United States learned that Tang Bank had produced a very tough successor. From that day on, Tang Ran immediately became the star of everyone's conversations.

'My God, is she really only 23? I can hardly imagine that in her thin body there is such a stubborn and proud soul. While we are still suffering from the sexual harassment of our bosses in the office from our boss, she was already declaring war on Morgan. This is the idol we women all admire the most!'

'I I can't imagine such an angelic girl saying such glorious things. She is much braver than our Mr President, and on Mount Olympus she is the holiest goddess!

Since Tang Ran was being held up on a pedestal, so naturally the Morgans suffered a tragedy. Countless people, when talking about him, cursed: 'I've long known that this so-and-so Morgan family is rubbish. They got rich in finance, then bought the steel company companies, and then sold their shares to other companies. They think they are very powerful and like to give financial advice, but I think they are just a bunch of robbers. I support my goddess, Tung Lan!'

That night , Tang Ran, who had become the focus of attention in the entire United States, promptly called Zhou Ming's phone.

As soon as was connected, Zhou Ming teased her, 'Ranran, you are now very famous, a big star adored by everyone. You actually said in front of so many media that you would take revenge on Morgan without being nervous at all.'

Lin Muqing on the other end Lin Muqing also helped Zhou Ming say to Tang Ran, 'Isn't that right? Not to mention the United States, we are also big stars in Hong Kong. Ah Min told me that her friends keep saying that Ran Ran is the Wu Zetian of the new century and a role model for all Chinese financial workers!'

Tang Ran was embarrassed by what Ming Zhou and Muqing Lin had said, and muttered, 'Who says I'm that good? And even if I am, I learned from you and Ming. I'm not really very capable at all. If it weren't for Ming helping me, I wouldn't dare to act like a hero in front of so many media, I'm scared to death.'

Hearing Tang Ran's timid words made Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing smile happily. After the joking was over, Zhou Ming asked, 'Are you all ready over there? through Ranran's interview, the momentum has been created even more than we thought, so next we will have to take gentle revenge on the Morgans.'

In response Tang Ran replied, 'Ming, don't worry. Muqing and I were ready yesterday, just waiting for your order! I hope to quickly get rid of these two bad guys from the Da Wudu and Morgan families, so that Ming can go back to San Francisco sooner!'

This made Zhou Ming smiled helplessly, because only Tang Ran could compare the two families of Daewood and Morgan in such a way. Of course, Zhou Ming could also hear from the words that Tang really missed him. Perhaps her tough stance in front of the media was just to hide her vulnerability. Or maybe because he wasn't around, they could only turn their thoughts of him into motivation in other areas.

Zhou Ming thought here and said, 'Sister Muqing, after this matter is resolved, I will immediately return to San Francisco to be with you.'

In fact, Zhou Ming was a very unpromising cheque, but when Lin Muqing and Tang Ran heard it, they were so happy that they wanted to jump up and down.

Finally, when the was knocked on, Zhou Ming hung up the phone with Lin Muqing and Tang Ran, shot over to open the door, and it was Martin, the mayor of Etly, at the door. Zhou Ming now has unresolved problems with the Daewood family, and Martin's villa is the safest place to be for the time being.

Zhou Ming invited Martin Martin to come in and asked him, 'I wonder what it is that the mayor has come all the way here to see me about?'

Martin frowned his brow, but in the end he said, 'It's about today's news. I heard the chairman of the Tang Dynasty Bank declare war on the Morgan family and say that he would take revenge on them. What's going on? Mr. Zhou Ming, didn't you say that you and the Morgan family were allies? How come the Morgans are still targeting the Tang Bank, and the Tang Bank is also seeking revenge against the Morgans?'

Zhou Ming did not rush to interrupt Martin, and waited until he had finished speaking before asking him, 'Honourable Mayor, how old are you?'

This sudden question left Martin confused. He could not imagine why Zhou Ming would suddenly ask such a question, which seemed to have nothing to do with what he had said.

Of course didn't really want to ask this question. He then said, 'If I remember correctly, a writer with the same name as yours, the mayor, once said that childhood is most nostalgic because is pure, without the deception and duplicity we encounter in our daily lives, that is, pretending to do one thing to your face and then doing another behind your back. Do you understand what I'm saying?'

Martin was stunned asked, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you mean you guys aren't really seeking revenge against the Morgans, right?'

Zhou Ming shrugged, 'Is there any doubt about it? Or do you, Mr. Mayor, think that the Tang family really has the ability to deal with both the Daewood and Morgan families at the same time?'

With Zhou Ming Martin suddenly realised that he had understood everything. In his opinion, whether Ming was lying or not, at least one thing was clear: the Morgans were the most powerful financial family in the United States, and no one could compete with them. It was simply impossible for the Tangs to compete with them both.

Seeing that Martin had understood, Zhou Ming said to him, 'After all, this is a civilized society, and no matter what you do, you have to consider the impact on society. That's why it's so important for the Tang family to put on this show with the Morgans.'

Martin looked at Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'Although I still don't understand a little, since I chose you, Mr. Zhou Ming, I will believe what you say.'

Zhou Ming smiled and said, 'Mayor, you will know in the future that your choice was correct!'

After that, Zhou Ming then asked him, 'Mr Mayor, what is the current situation regarding the run on the Greatwood Bank?'

'The situation stopped a day ago, but due to the impact of the 15 billion in non-performing assets, many people associate it with the previous run on the bank and believe that Greatwood is about to fail. So yesterday and today there were more people trying to withdraw their money than there normally would be, and it wasn't just in the city of Etly, it was the same situation throughout the entire state of Genesee.' Martin told Zhou Ming.

'What about the What about the three major car companies?' Ming suddenly asked.

Martin thought for a while before shaking his head and replying, "I'm sorry, I'm not sure. It seems that they haven't made any moves yet.'

'I didn't think these guys could hold their nerve, but with the situation in such a mess, it's really not easy for them to do anything," Ming finally addressed Martin again, 'Mr Mayor, I think it's time you did your job. I need to know the financial situation of several counties and districts in Etrey, especially Taylor District and Oran County, where the Greatwood family has invested heavily.'

Martin nodded and said yes, before getting up and leaving Zhou Ming's room, and said thank you to Zhou Ming when he closed the door.

Zhou Ming saw Martin Martin had left, and Zhou Ming let out a sigh of relief. Zhou Ming had previously said that his biggest worry in this task was Martin's attitude. After all, before the situation became clear before, he would have to rely on him for everything at Etrile. But he worshipped the Morgans so much that if he found out that he was actually their rival, who knows how his attitude would change.

It was also for this reason, Ming had to lie to Martin. The lie was full of holes, but as long as Martin could be kept under control for now, Ming was not afraid of what would happen next, because the Morgans would have to come back.

That night, the gentle revenge of the Downes against the Morgans officially began.
