Once it loses its identity as a banker and the network of relationships it has built up over the years, Colombia has plenty of people and capital, and it will focus on them first.

On the contrary, Medellin's ever-expanding armed forces and simple and clear business circle will make Medellin's life more nourishing than before.

Of course, it is not difficult for Li Changheng to attack Medellin.

From the perspective of future generations, it is not wise to attack Medellín by force, and the effect is not ideal.

In the real world, the United States dispatched large-scale fighter jets twice to assist the Colombian government to attack the Medellin Group. The initial effect was actually not bad, otherwise, the Americans would not carry out the second strike after the first failure.

Even in the second operation, the number of fighter jets dispatched exceeded 50.

It's a pity that Pablo escaped the punishment of the law twice, and the deed of escaping the encirclement from the tunnel for the second time was full of mystery, which actually made Pablo's reputation soar.

The Medellin Group also became more arrogant and retaliated more fiercely.

Pablo insists on being disobedient, or killing the enemy. This madman is indeed crazy sometimes, but it doesn't mean he has no brains.

Moreover, Medellin, which basically only sells flour, has obvious weaknesses and advantages, but the flour market in the United States is growing all the time, making it difficult for the United States to truly cut off Medellin's financial resources.

Therefore, the method with the least cost and the least risk is to favor the local forces in Mexico a little bit.

Huge benefits will turn the two companies into rivals little by little, and in the end it will inevitably lead to a dog-eat-dog war.

From the perspective of cost and geographical advantage, land area and the fact that Lao Mo is also very poor at the bottom, Lao Mo still has great advantages.

Facts in the future also prove that it is an unavoidable trend for Lao Mo to replace Colombia.

-------

At the beginning of July, Li Changheng took Annie to the White House to attend the ceremony for Benjamin Arthur to take over as chief commander, and the "Benjamin List" was officially passed three days before the ceremony.

After confirming that there would be no accidents, a local bank in Texas, which barely reached a medium size in the United States, sent the president and a negotiating team of 15 people to Bogota, Colombia.

At the city bank headquarters, I met Gilberto, who had received a formal negotiation application a few days ago, as well as the management of the city bank and several major shareholders.

Based on market capitalization and public earnings alone, City Bank's valuation of US$1.5 billion and annual income of US$50 million is not considered a good investment project in the eyes of financial analysts and investors.

The reason is that Gilberto, who secretly used profits to tie up the big and small shareholders, only paid 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars in benefits every year, and let the shady money in his hands successfully wash away at least 700 to 800 million U.S. dollars with financial means.

Since the 40 to 50 million US dollars cannot be made public, the legitimate income of 50 million US dollars, based on a price-earnings ratio of 20, the bank's market value is normally around 1 billion.

A market value higher than 500 million US dollars is actually not beneficial to the development of the bank, but it is definitely in line with Gilberto's principle of not attracting attention and making a fortune in a low-key manner.

In the mid-sized bank in Texas, the first offer was 900 million U.S. dollars, and the request for at least 40% of the shares was spoken out.

Not to mention Gilberto, even the shareholders and management of City Bank think the Americans are crazy.

But what Gilberto didn't expect was that he was not caught selling flour by the Americans, but fell on some small companies that had cooperative relations with city banks and the Cali Group's farms and ranches.

At the request of the president of the bank in Texas, Gilberto, who had a private conversation in his office, read the documents brought out by the other party.

He was already in an extremely bad mood, and he was still faintly uneasy. His first reaction was to stand up angrily and tear up the documents in his hand.

But seeing the reaction of the American sitting across from him without blinking an eyelid, Gilberto quickly calmed down and sat down on the boss chair.

Constantly cursing under his breath 'I'm going to kill those bastards'.

And the **** he was talking about was not a certain leader of the Cali Group, or his younger brother and the third head of the family.

It's those transporters and small gangs who have friendship with the bottom of the Cali Group and are vassals who make a little money from the group.

And the number is not one or three or five, but dozens.

Taking the "Benjamin List" bill just passed in the United States, just because these people have business dealings with the Cali Group's farms and ranches, they basically have more or less deposited some money in the city bank.

The Cali Group will be recognized by the United States as an interested party that has a cooperative relationship with the flour merchants, and then appear on the list that is prohibited from doing business in the United States.

This is absolutely a disaster.

No, it's more appropriate to add crimes with desires.

But this also made Gilberto understand that the reason why the Cali Group and his own name did not directly appear in the document that he tore up just now is nothing more than the fact that the Americans are eyeing him and the city bank.

In case the acquisition agreement is finally reached, banks, farms and ranches, as well as other legitimate businesses of the Cali Group, will not be able to do business with the United States again.

If the agreement is not reached, even if the other party lets him go, he will suffer huge losses in reputation and business because of being implicated.

Even he will soon be abandoned by the shareholders of the bank and the politicians who thought he had been wooed and befriended for so many years.

Facing bankruptcy and the threat of death, Gilberto, who was cautious and could even be described as timid, stared at the bank president in Texas and asked.

"Can you tell me who exactly is after my bank and other businesses?"

"No problem, sorry," the Texas cowboy smiled and took out a folder from his briefcase and put it on the table.

Gilberto hurriedly picked up the folder and opened it to read it. When he saw this document, it turned out to be a list of shareholders of a local bank in Texas.

I suddenly understood in my heart that the other party was telling me clearly, don't struggle and don't resist.

Then I looked at the documents, apart from a dozen small shareholders who were obviously covering up, there were also several shareholders of the fund.

There are also 4 names of the top 10 banks in the United States, UU Read Book www.uukanshu.com Gilberto immediately understood.

There is really no need to struggle and resist when someone holds his lifeline.

Not to mention the dozen or so small shareholders, many of them must be dignitaries, or some large companies that do not disclose their shareholders' identities.

Gilberto, who wanted to understand this, slumped on the boss chair as if discouraged, stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, and then sat up straight again and stood up.

He walked over to the wine cabinet and poured two glasses of whiskey himself.

Put a glass of wine in front of the Texas Cowboy, sit back in his chair, and drink the whole glass.

Then he sighed and said, "I thought that although what I did was illegal and not enough reputation, it was more because of greed.

But to a certain extent, it can also be regarded as a resistance to the American capital's search for wealth in South America, but I didn't expect that I could not escape in the end, and was controlled and blood-sucked by you. "
