Chapter 793 European Consortium (5)

   "Mr. Zhong, is everything you said really feasible?"

  In Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Paulson followed closely behind Zhongshi, and asked worriedly, "I'm worried that the whole thing will not have the desired effect."

   "We have to do something, otherwise we are too passive!"

Zhong Shi took out a dollar, took a bag of pigeon food from the peddler in the square, squatted down and swept it casually, and all the white pigeons in the square immediately gathered, "You can bear the price of tens of millions of euros!" loss?"

  Hearing this, Paulson wisely stopped talking.

  Although tens of millions of euros is nothing to the current Paulson, it is a huge number after all, and he has no reason to watch this sum of money evaporate in vain.

  After discussing with everyone on the phone, Zhong Shi went straight to the airport and flew to Madrid, the capital of Spain, where he met with Paulson, who was in charge of the implementation, to discuss how to leverage the global financial market.

   Paulson has extensive contacts in South America, so they also have amazing energy in their former suzerains Portugal and Spain. After receiving Zhong Shi's instructions, he urgently used relevant relationships and finally found a suitable target.

   "Has anyone come yet?"

After teasing the pigeons for a while, Zhong Shi stood up silently, tightened the windbreaker on his body, squinted his eyes and scanned the bustling crowd in the square, and then asked seemingly casually, "How long is the time left for us?" too much."

   "I'll call and ask!"

Paulson hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Don't look at his cautious attitude in front of Zhongshi, but after answering the call, he immediately changed into another expression, speaking in Spanish with a stern voice. He said something in a very impatient tone.

   After a while, after the communication, Paulson put away his mobile phone, put on a flattering smile, and said, "Mr. Zhong, they will be there in fifteen minutes. Let's find a restaurant first and wait for them slowly."

  Zhong Shi nodded noncommittally.

  After ordering paella, steamed shells, gazpacho and iberico ham, Zhong Shi and Paulson ate in a quiet restaurant. The work and rest habits of the Spaniards are quite unique among developed countries in the world. Generally, their morning is noon in other countries, and their lunch is equivalent to dinner in other countries. That is, on the same longitude, their working and living hours are longer than other countries The country is two or three hours late or even more.

   This is a lazy country.

   "John, here I come!"

Twenty minutes later, a sweaty middle-aged man hurried in, panting heavily. When he saw Paulson, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on his buttocks without waiting for Paulson to make a sound. Go to the seat next to you, and at the same time raise your wrist to look at your watch, "Fortunately, I'm not late."

  He only saw Paulson, turned a blind eye to the bell stone beside the dining table, and didn't even think of saying hello.

  But Zhong Shi didn’t have time to talk to him, the paella tasted very much to his liking, so he kept fighting with the delicious food in front of him. It wasn't until the other party said "I'm not late" that he raised his head and looked at the other party carefully.

   This is a middle-aged man with a beard, about forty years old, with brown curly hair, blue eyes, high eyebrows, a forehead like the Mediterranean Sea, and obvious baldness on his head.

After sitting down, he greeted the waiter, then stretched out his hand to the Iberico ham, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "John, you don't know that this is the time When you are sleeping? Fortunately, I came to Madrid last night, otherwise I would not see you today."

   "It's 12:30."

  Zhong Shi put down the knife and fork speechlessly, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said involuntarily, "Is it still time to sleep?"

"Who is this?"

  Until this moment, the gentleman realized the existence of Zhongshi. After chewing two bites quickly, he stretched out his greasy hand to Zhongshi, "Hi, I'm Jose Luis, I don't know what your name is?"

Zhong Shi gave him a disgusted look, lay back, took out the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, avoided the other party's eyes, and said to Paulson: "I'll go outside, you and this gentleman can enjoy a good time." Lunch. Oh no, breakfast."

  As soon as Zhong Shi’s footsteps disappeared outside the restaurant, Paulson’s face instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, and he said displeasedly: “Jose, what’s the matter with you?”

"what happened?"

   Jose Luis was a little confused about the situation, scratched his head and asked in confusion, "I don't seem to have offended this gentleman, why is he angry?"

"are you joking?"

   Paulson raised his voice, his voice was sharp and urgent, "Do you know who he is? God, I should have warned you earlier."

   After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly took out his wallet, grabbed a handful of cash and threw it on the table without looking at the numbers, and walked away without even looking at Jose.

   "..."

  José couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly got up and chased him out.

   "John, who the **** is he?"

After taking two quick steps to catch up with Paulson, Jose realized that Paulson was not in charge of the whole matter, and quickly asked Paulson, "I don't seem to have anything to do with him? John, what the **** is going on?" one thing?"

"he?"

Paulson stopped abruptly, looked at the other party with anger on his face, until the other party was startled, and after a long while he sighed, poked the other party's head with his finger and said, "Do you think that without you, the whole thing would be nothing?" Can't do it anymore?"

  Jose Luis is the general manager of Luis Wood in Spain. As the third generation of the Luis family, he has been sent by the family to experience around the world since he was an adult. Paulson has a good relationship with Jose Luis' father, James Luis, who is one of his clients.

   It was because of this relationship that Paulson slapped his chest in front of Zhongshi, promising to complete the entire plan.

  The Lewis family has a wealth of about 500 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a wealthy class in the United States. But compared to Paulson, who is soaring like a rocket, this asset is not enough at all.

  So Paulson became angry, and Jose Luis panicked. You must know that he is not the only successor in the Luis family. His cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all watching him, waiting for him to make mistakes.

"of course not!"

  Jose Luis' complexion changed drastically. After a long while of uncertainty, he showed a flattering smile, "John, please don't tell my father about this, or I will be finished."

"Hey…"

Seeing the other party's pitiful appearance, Paulson thought of the whole plan again, and immediately decided to put the overall situation first, and said lightly, "Come with me first, and apologize to the other party properly. Mr. Zhong didn't say anything. A reasonable person, as long as you admit your mistakes sincerely, he will definitely forgive you."

   Seeing that there was still room for recovery, Jose Luis secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

On the benches for tourists to rest in the square, Paulson and the anxious Louis found the bell stone, which was resting leisurely. Seeing the other party’s eyes staring at the white pigeons in the square, Louis seemed to realize something and hurriedly bought it. A package of pigeon food was carefully delivered to Zhong Shi.

  Zhong Shi raised his head in surprise, and just met the flattering eyes of the other party. He couldn't help laughing, and nodded his head to the left and right, signaling the two to sit down.

   "Did John tell you what happened?"

  After the two sat down, Zhong Shi asked indifferently, "I heard that you have timber business in the Zaragoza area?"

"Yes."

   Jose Luis quickly replied, "Our family has a timber business in North Africa, which is processed in Zaragoza and then sold to all over the world through the Strait of Gibraltar."

   "Then you know CajaSur Bank well?"

  Zhong Shi continued to ask, "Tell me your opinion."

   "CajaSur Bank?"

Although Paulson told the other party that his assistance was needed, Jose Luis still didn't know what was going on, and immediately replied in a daze, "This is a small regional savings bank with asset scale and business expansion. They are all very limited. If it is a local settlement, our funds are generally placed in this bank. But if it is a cross-border transaction, we do not choose this bank for settlement.”

"And recently I heard that this bank seems to be in trouble. Of course, this is just hearsay, I have no confirmed news. But I have already planned to have people end their business with them. After all, now you know that the whole of Spain The economic situation is not very good.”

   "How can this bank fail in the fastest time?"

  Zhong Shi nodded noncommittally, and continued to ask, "I want this bank to close down in the shortest possible time. I wonder if you have any good solutions?"

"what?"

It wasn't until now that Jose Luis understood the reason for Zhong Shi's visit. He immediately stood up with a changed face, looked around carefully, and asked vigilantly after making sure no one noticed, "Mr. Zhong, What exactly do you want to do?"

   Paulson has never made a formal introduction, but Jose Luis already knew Zhong Shi's surname, so he said it out of the box.

  "Since you know who I am, don't you know what I do?"

  Glancing at the other party indifferently, Zhong Shi asked calmly, "If you take over, can you run CajaSur Bank to bankruptcy within a few days?"

Looking at Paulson with an indifferent face, Jose Luis suddenly realized what the other party was doing. Immediately, his heart became hot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Three days, at most three days, maybe as long as two days, I can Let CajaSur bank run to the point where it has to file for protection."

"it is good!"

  Zhong Shi picked up the pigeon food and walked towards the center of the square. It seemed that he was going to feed the pigeons again.

   "Hey, you haven't told me, what's in store for me?"

  Jose Luis stood up anxiously, and shouted behind Zhong Shi, "It's impossible for me to get nothing, so why don't you do this for me?"

   "No hurry, no hurry!"

  Paulson patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Now it's my turn to talk to you. Tell me, what benefits do you want?"

   "Tell me first what are you going to do?"

  After rolling his blue eyes a few times, Jose Luis suddenly realized that it would not be an easy task for him to make an offer. Unless you understand the other party's overall plan, you will definitely be in a disadvantaged position.

Information asymmetry.

   "You don't need to know this!"

Just thinking about it carefully, Paulson understood what the other party was thinking, immediately straightened his face, and said, "You can't get involved in this matter. Similarly, even if your father is here, I would say the same thing. Now, you Are you sure you want to ask again?"

   "..."

Although I wanted to know what it was, even the Paulson in front of me was an existence that the Louis family could not offend, not to mention that there was an unpredictable "Mr. Zhong" next to him. Think carefully, and start racking your brains to figure out how to offer the conditions that maximize your own interests.

   "I need five times the annual interest on my withdrawal deposit!"

   After thinking for a while, Jose Luis said cautiously, "This price is very fair, isn't it?"

   "It is indeed very fair!"

   Paulson smiled unkindly.
