Chapter 1,296 Unexpected Visitor
…
After hanging up the phone from Feng Jianhui, Liu Dong looked out the window in concentration, with a particularly gloomy look on his face! He originally thought that he had prepared enough funds to really turn Standard Chartered Bank out of danger and win this financial war. But instead,
He never thought that the enemy would be bigger and more powerful than he imagined!
One move after another brought out unimaginable means, leaving Liu Dong to passively parry. And this kind of passivity was definitely not what Liu Dong wanted.
There is a saying in the art of war: "If you defend for a long time, you will lose!"
If he continues to allow his enemies to attack so unscrupulously, even if Liu Dong is lucky enough to win in the end, it will be just a miserable victory in the end! This is definitely not what Liu Dong wants to see.
"Dong dong...!"
"Come in!"
Wearing a pink lace top and white hip-covering cropped pants, the pretty Helen came in and saw the gloomy look on Liu Dong's face. After being startled for a moment, she quickly asked with concern: "My dear, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from dealing with the company's affairs!" Liu Dong changed his expression and smiled at Helen.
No matter how great the pressure on him was, he didn't want it to affect the woman he loved.
The ice-smart Helen was sensitive to the hint of reluctance in Liu Dong's words. In addition, she also understood the difficulties that Standard Chartered Bank was currently facing. But just as Liu Dong had considered it for her, she did not want to be blamed for what she had done at this time.
The already tired lover adds more worries.
"By the way, Helen! What can I do for you?" Liu Dong changed the subject.
"Oh, Mr. Martin Bouygues called to see you!" Helen said quickly.
"Martin Bouygues? He called me?"
Because of the Abi National Bank shares, although the two companies are not enemies now, they are definitely not friendly. Especially at this time, Liu Dong never expected that Martin Bouygues would call him.
"Do you want to hang up?"
"No. Come in, I want to hear what this old fox plans to say to me!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong went to the desk next to him and picked up the landline phone above.
After a while, a familiar voice came from inside.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, I heard that you have recovered two sunken ships in the Mediterranean. I think you must have gained a lot, congratulations!"
Martin Bouygues' pleasant voice came from it.
Liu Dong did not hear any shame or embarrassment in it, and his attitude was no different from when he talked with Liu Dong at the Philippe auction in Paris.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bouygues to be quite concerned about me! However, you didn't call me just to talk to me about the salvage of the sunken ship, right?" Liu Dong said calmly.
He has no intention of beating around the bush with Martin Bouygues right now.
"Of course not! In fact, if Mr. Liu needs it, I am very willing to help you answer some questions that have been confusing you!"
"What about?" Liu Dong raised his eyebrows.
"For example, the true identity of the person behind this attack on Standard Chartered Bank across the United Kingdom and the United States!"
Listening to Martin Bouygues's confident words, although Liu Dong really wanted to know from the other party, he couldn't really follow the other party's ideas, otherwise he would be really passive.
"In fact, there is no need for Mr. Martin Bouygues to remind me. I already understand who is the mastermind behind Standard Chartered Bank this time!" Liu Dongdao.
"Oh, really? Then Mr. Liu might as well tell you!" Martin Bouygues is not that easy to fool.
"Okay, for example, the British Darcy family controls Amoco Investment Company, the Fernandez family controls a major stake in Spain's Banco Santander, James Carter once controlled a major stake in Abbey National Bank, and the Duke family controls General Motors.
The Rand family, the Yasuda family, one of the six largest chaebols in Japan... How about it, Mr. Bouygues? I must have said that right, right?"
"It seems that Mr. Liu's ability to collect intelligence should not be underestimated!" After a moment of silence, Martin Bouygues' words came over again.
When he heard this, Liu Dong felt relieved.
He knew in his heart that these were the only enemies he knew about Standard Chartered Bank. But the real situation is that Standard Chartered now faces more opponents than what Liu Dong said!
"...But what Mr. Liu said is not comprehensive! And you must also be willing to know why these people would unite to deal with you?"
"Mr. Bouygues, we are all smart people! There is no need to continue talking in circles here. Tell me your conditions. As long as they are not too excessive, I am willing to consider them. In exchange, tell me everything you know!
Liu Dong said calmly.
"Haha, what I like most is Mr. Liu's happiness! ...Okay, I am willing to give all the information I know to Mr. Liu. But in return, I hope that Mr. Liu can continue to fulfill the contract we signed before!"
"Then it will be interesting to see whether the information presented by Mr. Bouygues is worth the price!"
"Liu, since I called you, I will naturally be fully prepared to meet your requirements!"
"Okay! You tell me and I will listen. I can guarantee that if it turns out that what you said is not wrong and it is indeed of great help to me, I will be willing to travel to the cooperation treaty signed in Paris!" Liu Dong said seriously.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
“It’s a deal!”
After a pause, Liu Dong said in a low tone: "Can you tell me now who is behind this?"
"Of course! I believe that with the development of Hanhua Group now, Mr. Liu must be familiar with the Stillman family in the United States and the Rothschild family in Europe, right?"
"Stearmans? Rothschilds?"
Liu Dong was shocked!
One of the conglomerate monsters that once created the Federal Reserve, a sixth empire that once controlled the entire European finance!
Although their glory has faded with the end of World War I and World War II and a more competitive economic system, they are still a world-class wealthy family today.
"Why did they find me?" Liu Dong asked.
He has not been around for a long time and has not had much interaction with these two huge wealthy families.
Of course, it is not without communication. When he was on the Poseidon cruise ship, Liu Dong once won a huge sum of more than 5 billion US dollars from the supertanker run by the Stillman family through boxing matches.
.It was this funding that laid the foundation for Liu Dong’s rise.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong slowly came back to his senses. Most likely, his winning of money had made the Stillman family unhappy, especially after the Rockefeller family stated that they did not have a close cooperative relationship with him.
But what is the Rothschild family? From beginning to end, Liu Dong has never had any dealings with this family.
"I don't know why the Stillman family is targeting you. But the reason why the Rothschild family is hostile to you is mainly because of Miss Helen!"
"Helen?" Liu Dong was surprised. He had thought of all the reasons, but he never thought that it was because of Helen.
"That's right! Willis Rothschild, the third son of David Rothschild, the current patriarch of the Rothschild family, is Miss Helen's loyal suitor! And the Wittgenstein family is very concerned about the relationship with Rothschild.
The De family was not opposed to the marriage. But Miss Helen was very opposed to the marriage. But what surprised the whole of Europe, especially the French aristocratic circle, was that he actually chose you, a Chinese, as her husband! This result surprised the whole of Europe.
The Wittgenstein family was embarrassed, and the entire Rothschild family felt that they had been humiliated. Therefore, when Rofit Stillman, one of the direct heirs of the Stillman family, came to the door, they joined forces this time.
It’s only natural!”
"...However, Liu! You are lucky enough! If it hadn't been revealed a few months ago that you are a direct member of China's powerful Liu family, the Wittgenstein family would have joined this alliance without hesitation.
!The number of greedy enemies will be several times, even ten times, than it is now!"
"Does this include you, Mr. Martin Bouygues?" Liu Dong felt complicated and couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Haha, of course! Since the birth of Darwinian socialism in the 19th century, the dominance of the weak by the strong in this world has become an inevitable outcome and a theory accepted by almost everyone!" Martin Bouygues said without hesitation.
"Evolution!"
Liu Dong nodded.
"Do you think I can win this financial war?"
"At least you won't lose!" Martin Bouygues said.
In fact, it was seeing the steady stream of money that Hanhua Group had spent to stabilize Standard Chartered Bank, enough to support the stock price and run, that made Martin Bouygues make this call.
And another very important reason is that the Chinese market is rapidly rising and will have unlimited potential in the future.
Any business leader who is interested in competing in the world will not ignore the existence of this huge market. And the Liu family has an absolute local advantage in this large market where politics is superior to business.
Therefore, after Martin Bouygues weighed it up and saw that making friends with Liu Dong would bring more and more substantial benefits than offending Liu Dong, he naturally made what he thought was the right decision.
After a brief silence, Liu Dong said again: "In addition to the Stillman family, the Rothschild family, and the people I mentioned before, who are the enemies I will deal with this time?"
