At 7pm, Edward returned to the rest room in the Kenndini Investment Bank building. At this time, Ming was looking through a pile of documents in the living room of the suite. Seeing Edward return, Ming smiled and greeted him.
Edward sat down on the sofa next to Ming and took a deep breath before saying, 'Mr. Ming, first of all, I'm sorry for my attitude this afternoon, but I was very anxious at the time. Perhaps you don't know, but in government affairs, there are always all kinds of excuses, so my attitude changed. I hope you don't mind.'
Zhou Ming shrugged and said he didn't mind, and Edward then let out a sigh of relief and said, 'That's best. I really don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings between us.' 'In fact, I was going to say that if I could really meet with that Ms. Caitlin, I might be able to convince her, and then things would be resolved even better,' Ming Zhou said.
Edward frowned and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, I don't think this is the time to discuss such absurd ideas. For the sake of our friendship, I think we should should discuss the research on these documents a little more. These are all companies in which the Addams family is involved in this crackdown on the Candini action. I wonder what Mr. Zhou Ming has found out?'
It seems that Edward doesn't want to continue talking about the topic of 'meeting'. I'm afraid that, as he said, this idea is simply ridiculous. he doesn't think it's a feasible option at all. To him, defeating the Addams Family might be a more reliable option.
Although, for Zhou Ming himself, he felt that this method, no matter how low the odds, was at least worth a try. However, seeing Edward like this, Zhou Ming had to change the subject. He took a document from the pile of papers scattered on the table and handed it to Edward, saying, 'Well, after going through these documents today, I found this company very interesting.'
Edward took the document and looked it over carefully, but then frowned again: 'Trefin Company? I'm very sorry I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Ming, could you please be a little more specific? Because it seems to me that this is just an ordinary investment company. I don't think there's anything special about this company, and I've never heard of it before.'
'Mr. Governor, just because you haven't heard of the company doesn't mean it's ordinary. Have you heard of my Jinming Fund Company, for example?' Zhou Ming said, 'The same is true of this company, Trifin. And at least with a company of this size, he can come up with a billion dollars to join forces with other companies to acquire shares in Kandini Investment Bank. My intuition tells me that this company is definitely not that simple.'
'Is that really? But as far as I know, many investment companies have their own channels for obtaining funds, so it is normal to put up a lot of capital. For example, many seemingly ordinary investment companies controlled by the Kennedi family can also do it if they really need to put up huge amounts of capital,' said Edward.
'However Mr Governor, I hope you can understand the difference between being able to do something and being able to do it easily. This is why I pay attention to the company Trevinn. company's data may not be a problem, but if you analyse it carefully, you will find many problems, such as its shareholders, its past investment cases, etc., which all require attention.'
Zhou Ming concluded, 'In short, no matter what, this company, Trefen, cannot be let go.'
Edward was still confused, but nodded dazedly. Perhaps there was something he hadn't noticed. After all, he was more focused on politics than business analysis, and in comparison, Zhou Ming was more adept at this, as his results showed.
But even Edward was still a little suspicious and asked, 'So Mr. Ming Chow, now that you have found your goal, what are you going to do?'
'Governor are you kidding me? Do I need to tell you what to do? Of course there are ways to use whatever means possible against this company, like dumping stocks or causing losses by damaging his investments directly.
Zhou Ming then continued, 'I believe that the experienced financial traders at Candini Investment Bank must have more methods than I can think of, don't they? If I have to think of everything, then what are these people doing for your family for all that money? Is it charity? Besides, I only agreed to help you, but I didn't promise to help you with every single detail.'
'That's true, Mr. Zhou Ming. I'm very sorry, but we will find a solution to these problems ourselves, so you don't need to worry,' Edward said to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming then said, 'Governor, forgive me for being blunt, but since you already know what the problem is, what are you doing here? Waiting for me to give you orders? Or do you think the Candini family still has plenty of time?'
Edward was Zhou Ming's rebuke made Edward's old face flush. Although it made him feel very humiliated, he was even more unable to refute Zhou Ming. He could only stand up immediately and say to Zhou Ming, 'Okay, Mr. Zhou Ming, I'll do it right away.'
Leaving these words and Edward left the room. Zhou Ming looked at Edward's fleeing back and smiled helplessly.
Edward, I hope you don't blame me. Who told you to be so hostile towards my ideas? So I had to try a different approach. I hope it works!
Zhou Ming prayed in his heart prayed. In fact, in Zhou Ming's own thoughts, this company, Trefen, might seem a bit strange. As Edward had said, many investment banks have their own special channels for obtaining funds, so it is not that unusual for him to be able to come up with funds that are not commensurate with the size of the company discrepancy. The reason Ming Chou was targeting the Trefin company was for another reason. Ming Chou had not given up the idea of meeting Caitlin.
In the morning, after Edward afterwards, Ming Zhou called Cheng Jun, the Chinese Consul General in New York, again, wanting to contact Caitlin through Nordemann. However, Cheng Jun's words made Ming Zhou give up this idea.
Because Cheng Jun told Zhou Ming that both Nordemann and Caitlin are key targets of protection by the US government, and that the contact information held by the consulate is all office numbers, not private residence numbers. And these office numbers number is usually answered by an assistant, so if they suspect anything, it is likely to attract the intervention of the feds, which would make the problem very complicated.
In the end, Cheng Jun gave the contact details of Zhou Ming Noddy, but Zhou Ming did not use him.
Of course, this was not because Zhou Ming was afraid fear of attracting the attention of the fbi, but because he was worried that it would alert the Addams family, which could lead to trouble if things got out of his control.
It was for this reason that Ming abandoned this direct method of contacting them and instead adopted a roundabout approach. That is why Zhou Ming chose this company, Trefen, and not another, simply because of its name.
Trefen, which in German has no set meaning for meeting, and Zhou Ming chose him as the first target to convey a message to Caitlin that he wanted to meet.
Zhou Ming himself understood that the way of conveying the message and interpreting it was a bit difficult to understand, but Zhou Ming had a hunch that if the other party was really the Caitlin he had met in Yanjing, she would definitely understand.
Of course, there was also the possibility that this Caitlin is not the Caitlin she met, or maybe Caitlin is still the same Caitlin, but she did not understand the message from the name Trefen her message from the name Trefen, but there was nothing she could do about it. But before that happened, she could at least try. No matter how unbelievable the idea was, if she didn't even have the courage to try, then that would be the biggest mistake of all, wouldn't it?
As Zhou Ming thought this Edward hurriedly walked back in and said to Ming, 'I just spoke with the board of directors on the phone, and they have decided to do what you want and take full revenge against this company, Trefen!'
Ming knew that Edward was referring to the board of directors of Candini Investment Bank, which was also the most powerful few people in the Candini family. Unlike other families, the Candini family did not have a clear patriarch. In contrast, although the Candini family also had a patriarch, it was more more of a council format, which is a small group formed by the most powerful few people in the family. This is also caused by their different developments in business, politics, finance, etc.
'This is good news . It seems that the Governor's eloquence is reassuring,' said Ming.
However, Edward's words then took Ming by surprise. Edward stood up of his own accord, bowed deeply to Ming, and said solemnly, 'Mr. Ming, although I have already said many apologies today, but now I still need to say sorry to you again for my previous doubts about you.'
Zhou Ming was curious and asked why. Edward then told Ming that he had immediately gained the sympathy of the board of directors after mentioning the company, because the investment bank had also been sceptical about this company and had made plans against it, but then it had been impossible to confirm, so it had been put on hold.
'So the board of directors had also suspected this company, but that was only after the company had used a lot of means and resources. You discovered it just based on this little bit of information. You are truly a genius in the business world!'
Edward exclaimed with great emotion exclaimed, before adding, 'I was previously sceptical of you, Mr. Ming Zhou, and I was so foolish. My foolishness is becoming more and more despicable under your wisdom.'
Hearing Edward's self-reproach , Zhou Ming was truly at a loss. He didn't expect that the company he had just contacted actually had a problem. And even the investment bank Cantigny had made a special proposal for this company. His luck was a bit too good, wasn't it?
As he felt a sense of foreboding, Zhou Ming also had a great deal of concern, because if he had hit the right spot and really hit a key point for the Addams family, would he not have hidden his own purpose even deeper? Caitlyn... Could she still decipher the meaning behind the pronunciation of Trefen? Or did she really just taken as her own comeback?
It was too late to think about it, and it would not be easy to change.
Zhou Ming could only put aside those distracting thoughts and said to Edward, 'Mr Governor, there is no need to beat yourself up. In fact, I wasn't sure either, but I just hung on a little longer than you did. Now that we know for sure, let's just do our best.'
Edward nodded vigorously and said, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, please rest assured, the investment bank will start moving today!'
