Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 1011: Powerful bill

Once you lose your identity as a banker and the network of relationships that have been established all the year round, there are people and capital in Colombia, and they will first look at them.

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

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

   From the perspective of a later generation, it is not wise to strike Medellin by force, and the effect is very unsatisfactory.

   In the real world, the U.S. dispatched two large-scale fighter jets to assist the Colombian government in combating the Medellin group. The initial effect was actually good. Otherwise, after the first failure, the U.S. would not conduct a second strike.

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

   It is a pity that Pablo escaped the punishment of the law on both occasions, and the second time he escaped the encirclement from the tunnel is full of mystery, but Pablo’s reputation has risen sharply.

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

   Pablo pursues disobedience, or kills the enemy. This madman is indeed crazy sometimes, but it doesn't mean that he has no brains.

   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 really cut off Medellin’s financial resources.

   Therefore, the least costly and risky solution is to lean slightly toward the local forces in Mexico.

   The huge benefits will make the two companies a little bit of rivals, and in the end they will inevitably start a war.

   From the perspective of cost and geographical advantages, land area and the underlying Lao Mo is also very poor, Lao Mo's advantage is still very large.

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

  -------

   In early July, Li Changheng took Annie to the White` House to participate in the ceremony for Benjamin Arthur to take over as chief. The ‘Benjamin’s list’ was officially passed three days before the ceremony.

   After confirming that everything would not happen unexpectedly, a local Texas bank in the United States that barely reached the mid-range in size sent a negotiating team of 15 presidents and fifteen people to Bogota, Colombia.

  At the City Bank headquarters, I met Gilberto, who received a formal negotiation application a few days ago, as well as the City Bank’s management and several major shareholders.

   Calculated only on the basis of market value and public earnings. City Bank’s valuation of US$1.5 billion and annual income of US$50 million is not a good investment project in the eyes of financial analysts and investors.

  The reason is that Gilberto, who used profits secretly to tie up large and small shareholders, only paid forty to fifty million U.S. dollars in benefits each year, and allowed the shameful money in his hands to successfully wash away at least seven or eight billion U.S. dollars by financial means.

   Since these forty-five million US dollars cannot be made public, the legitimate income of 50 million US dollars, based on a 20-less P/E ratio, the bank's market value is normally about 1 billion.

   The market value of more than 500 million US dollars is actually not good for the development of the bank, but it is absolutely in line with Gilberto's principle of not attracting attention and making a fortune in a low-key manner.

   The mid-sized bank in Texas offered a price of 900 million US dollars for the first time, and the requirement to obtain at least 40% of the shares was stated.

  Don't talk about Gilberto, even the shareholders and management of City Bank think that the Americans are crazy.

   What Gilberto did not expect was that he had not been caught by the Americans as evidence of selling flour, but fell on some small companies that had partnerships with the city bank and the Kali Group Farm and Ranch.

   At the request of the president of the Texas bank, Gilberto was talking alone in his office, after reading the documents that the other party brought out.

   He was in a very bad mood, but he was still vaguely disturbed. The first reaction was to get up and tear off the papers in his hands.

   Looking at the American man sitting across from him, he reacted without blinking his eyelids. Gilberto quickly calmed down and sat down on the boss chair.

   kept cursing in a low voice, ‘I’m going to kill those bastards’.

   And the **** in his mouth is not a leader of the Kali group, or his brother and third boss.

   are those transporters and small gangs who have friendship with the bottom of the Kali Group and vassalize them to make a little money on the group.

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

   Calculated based on the ‘Benjamin List’ bill that was just passed in the United States. Just because these people have business dealings with the Kali Group’s farms and ranches, they basically have more or less deposited money in the city bank.

   The Kali Group will be identified by the U.S. side as a stakeholder that has a cooperative relationship with flour merchants, and it will then appear on the list of prohibited businesses from doing business in the U.S.

   This is definitely a disaster.

   It’s not right, it’s more appropriate to use desire and sin.

   But this also made Gilberto understand that the reason why the Kali Group and his own name did not appear directly in the document that he had torn up just now was that the Americans were eyeing him and the city bank.

   In order to avoid finally reaching an acquisition agreement, banks, farms and ranches, as well as other legitimate businesses of the Cali Group, cannot re-do business with the United States.

   If the agreement is not reached, even if the other party puts himself on the side, he will suffer a huge loss in reputation and business because of being implicated.

   Even I will soon be abandoned by the bank’s shareholders and the politicians who have thought of wooing and making friends for so many years.

In the face of bankruptcy and the threat of death, a caution, which can even be described as timid Gilberto, stared at the president of the Texas bank and asked ~lightnovelpub.net~Can you tell me, what is it? Who is eyeing 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 and looked at it. When he saw this information, it turned out to be the shareholder list of the local bank in Texas.

   suddenly understood that the other party told him clearly, don't struggle and don't resist.

   Then he looked at the document, in addition to a dozen minority shareholders who were obviously disguised, and several fund shareholders.

   There are also 4 banks ranked in the top 10 in the United States, and Gilberto immediately understood.

   When someone holds his lifeline, there is really no need to struggle and resist.

   Not to mention the dozen or so small shareholders, many of them must be powerful, or some large companies that are not easy to disclose their shareholder identities.

   Gilberto, who wanted to understand this, lay down on the boss chair as if discouraged, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time before sitting up straight again.

   went to the wine cabinet and poured two glasses of whiskey himself.

   put a glass of wine in front of the Texas Cowboys, sat back in his chair, and drank the whole glass of wine.

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

   But to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a resistance to the American capital's search for South American wealth, but I did not expect that it would eventually be unable to escape and be controlled and sucked blood by you. "
