America’s Big Hero

Chapter 367: ADM's favor

In the room, old David was talking to a young man with brown hair, sword eyebrows, and a square face.

The sound of Fifth Grandpa at the door made the young man's face flicker in a strange way.

Without waiting for any reaction from the two people in the room, Sean pushed the door open and walked in carelessly.

When he raised his head, his eyes met the young man's. Sean was taken aback for a moment, then blinked to take a closer look, Richard Rockefeller!

Richard Rockefeller was born in 1949, the son of old David, dear.

The two had never met before, but Sean had seen the photo many times.

In other words, God has been friends for a long time!

"Brother Richard is here too!" Sean shouted without giving Old David a chance to open his mouth.

Old man David:? ? ?

Richard:! ! !

While talking, he walked over and put the things in his hands on the old man's table. Then he opened his arms and gave Richard a big hug under Richard's dull gaze.

Richard couldn't react at all, and didn't know how to deal with it. He opened his arms stiffly, neither hugging nor pushing away. He could only look at old David for help.

Old man David is so angry, what the hell are you looking at me for!

You beat him!

"Damn it, brat, you should be called Uncle!!" Old David's nostrils were dilated with anger.

With just such a sentence and a hug, old David has to admit that his son is far worse than Sean.

Not to mention tolerance, just the ability to adapt is not as good, and people can't let go.

"It's all the same, it's all the same." Sean laughed, put his arm around Richard's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I've always wanted to meet Richard, but I always missed it. Today's opportunity is just right, let's have dinner together later. "

Richard: Do we know each other well?

"Everything is the same!" Old man David snorted heavily.

"Everything is different. We are all young. We are only 7 years apart. Everything is in accordance with the rules. When I shouted, I didn't know that I thought Richard was dozens of years old. I called everyone old for no reason. "Speaking, Sean turned his head to look at Richard, his arms were still tight, "Right."

Richard turned his head to look at the hand on his shoulder, then looked at Sean, with a helpless expression, "Okay."

To be honest, it does feel a bit awkward for a super-rich man who drives a battleship across the world and is internationally rebellious to call him uncle.

It's not that Richard's identity can't afford it, but his psychology.

Psychologically, the entire Rockefeller family, even if they didn't say it, there was no one in their hearts who didn't admire Sean.

This is an illegitimate child, who really worked hard with his bare hands, and their conditions are so good, let alone their achievements, they can't even see the taillights.

The gap between the two sides is too big, which makes these people a little ashamed.

This made Richard face Sean, and was psychologically overwhelmed.

Old man David rolled his eyes. It's not that he didn't want to push his son to the top position. What's more, you don't live up to it.

Thinking about it, I didn't want to force Sean to call him uncle. It's useless to force him. Even if he shouted in front of him, what should he do or what should he do when he leaves this room.

"Sean, I warn you, don't lead Richard into a bad situation." Old man David could only say so.

"Fifth Grandpa, what you say is like I'm some kind of villain." Sean rolled his eyes.

"Oh, you know what you are like!" Old man David sneered.

"There's no good in being too honest." Sean muttered in a low voice.

"Do you think everyone is like you!" David yelled angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Sean quickly pressed his hands down.

Don't blame the old man David for being angry, even if his son can't achieve any great things and support the family business, he can't be a dude.

Just like what he said, not everyone can make a fortune from the mafia like Sean, but Sean has never been involved in drugs and killed a lot, but Sean's personality is not perverted and bloodthirsty, surrounded by women, but not Will be addicted to wine and sex.

There is no good person around me, and I have done so many bad things, but I have been able to keep my mind clear from the influence of the environment.

This requires great self-control.

Of course, this is not the credit of American education.

David knew his son, if he was thrown into such an environment, he would definitely learn bad things, eat, drink, whore and gamble, and it would be completely over.

Richard tilted his head slightly, watching Sean talking with his father, he was really envious and admired in his heart.

Even his son can't be so casual, his father's halo is too strong, as the group of people with the most power in this world, he is like an emperor, not everyone can let go.

Anyway, there is no need for him not to come to see his father.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, what's the matter with running so diligently?" old man David glared at Xiao En, and said angrily.

"I want to acquire some banks, but I don't have so much time to waste on negotiations, and I don't want to waste money on them." Sean sat down on the sofa, looked up at Richard who was standing there, and smiled. He reached out and patted the side, "Sit."

Richard sat down subconsciously.

Old man David stared at his son, what the hell are you the master?

This number is completely useless.

"How much is some?" Old man David grasped the point at once.

"20." Sean laughed.

"What are you going to do again?" Old man David asked with narrowed eyes.

Richard looked at Sean in astonishment, buying 20 banks? Go crazy!

"I have taken a fancy to the resources of depositors in those local banks. I have a good deal to promote. It is too troublesome and time-consuming to attract customers by myself."

"How much money do you have to spend on this?"

"1.5 billion!"

The old man David rolled his eyes. The idiots of HSBC said, "Theoretically, the money is enough, but it is difficult. The shares of these banks are very chaotic, very chaotic, and they cannot be acquired by simply spending money, do you understand?"

"How to say?"

"There are special reasons why many local banks can survive. They not only assume the responsibility of the bank, but also a platform for the transactions of various local forces. There are too many things in it, and it is impossible to dig deep. Some simply There is a huge deficit."

Sean frowned, and he understood when David said this.

Corruption, bribery, government-business collusion, political transactions, money laundering!

For a group with chaotic accounts, as long as the accounts are checked during the acquisition process, there will be a thunderstorm.

Therefore, even if Xiao En threw money at him, he would not dare to transfer it. This is not a question of money or not.

What's more, Sean is still a media tycoon, so if he sends the handle over, it's like a sheep in a tiger's mouth!

"I must have clients, what should I do?" Sean frowned.

The old man David shook his head, "It's difficult, I don't know what you are going to do, but most local banks have this kind of problem, if you must acquire, it is best to be some medium-sized banks, and the possibility is higher .”

"Fully funded!"

"You still want to complete the integration?"

"Yes."

Old man David shook his head directly, "Give up, it's impossible."

Xiao En also frowned, and didn't speak for a long time, "You can accept as many as you can, and spread it as much as possible. Damn, if I can't, I will promote it myself!"

Seeing Xiao En's insistence, the old man David shook his head, "Give me the list, and I'll help you communicate."

Sean took out a list from his pocket and handed it over. Old man David glanced at it and put it aside. There was no need to rush this matter.

Things come to an end here.

Regarding the acquisition, it was too difficult for Sean to run by himself. It was like his own bank, and there were a lot of dirty things, so he didn't dare to let outsiders find out.

The old man David came forward, coordinated from a higher level, and promised some things, such as helping to balance the accounts, not pursuing, etc., the effect was much better than that of Sean, who had no friendship, rashly approached him.

"Okay, please trouble Grandpa Fifth, I'm leaving." Xiao En smiled and stood up, beckoning to Richard next to him, "Let's go."

Richard glanced at Lao Tzu, accepted the old man's acquiescence, and then stood up.

When walking out, Sean suddenly looked back at old David, "Hurry up, time, time, even if you spend a little more money."

"Get lost!" old man David cursed angrily, begging for so many fucking things.

Sean smiled and left.

After getting out of the Rockefeller Center and getting into the car, Richard didn't know why, his heart beat faster, and he always felt that the door to a new world was about to open, "Where are you going?"

"Have you been to the Peace Hotel?" Sean asked with a smile.

Richard nodded, the best entertainment place in the New York area, with wine, sex and money, everything you need.

"Have you played everything you need to play?" Sean raised his eyebrows, and there was a meaningful arc on the corner of his mouth.

Cough, cough, cough... Richard coughed, and his face turned red unconsciously.

He couldn't bear to say such exciting things when they first met.

He has also been to the upper floors of the Peace Hotel. Not to mention what the emperor enjoys, the top two floors are the script cannon and the grassland hunting ground. Good guy, that is so exciting! !

You can meet people of any age and status, and occasionally you can meet someone you know, and it's awkward but polite to have a friendship...

Seeing Richard like this, Sean understood everything, and laughed out loud.

"Just go for a walk and go to the Peace Hotel. You only use basic services. I'll open a VIP for you." Sean said winkingly.

"Cough, cough, still, there is still VIP?" Richard was completely dumbfounded. The ordinary service is so exciting, so what kind of treatment does VIP have?

"I don't know, hehe." Sean smiled meaningfully, "VIP provides customized services, you can customize any scenes, scripts, or special requirements you have. You inform."

Talking and laughing, under Xiao En's intention, the two quickly became familiar with each other. They are the same age, so it is easy to play together.

All the way to the Peace Hotel, Sean didn't need such cumbersome security checks, the person in charge came up to receive him in person.

"Remember him, open a VIP service, and be careful not to let those unclean people touch him, understand."

"Good boss." The person in charge glanced at Richard.

"You must understand that if he learns badly here, such as being exposed to poison, being infected with some kind of disease, or being plotted by someone with ulterior motives, I will throw you into the sea and feed the sharks." Sean He glanced at the person in charge.

"Ah, oh, I must remember." The corner of the person in charge's mouth twitched.

They are the least willing to receive this kind of person, this is not a VIP, this is an ancestor.

After waving the person in charge to leave, Sean smiled and looked at the stiff-faced Richard and said, "It's not that I'm strict, your old man won't let me bring you down, I don't dare to let you have problems."

Richard smiled wryly, "Is it so serious?"

"Is it that serious?" Sean's voice suddenly increased, and he looked Richard up and down, "That's too serious!"

"The fees here are high, which naturally attracts a lot of rich and powerful people. At the same time, it also attracts a lot of bad guys. They come here all the year round, specifically to trap those rich and powerful people."

"Ah?" Richard looked disbelieving, "Isn't the security check here very strict?"

"Tricking people, sometimes one mouth is enough." Sean raised his eyebrows, "For example, some women are professional fishermen and open fish ponds. I remember at most one time, a woman dealt with 18 men at the same time. Mom Yes, that means, no matter whether you are just in love or you have gone through many vicissitudes, she has a way to charm you and make you spend money for her wholeheartedly!"

"Of course, some will choose a target carefully, and in the end, the wives and children of the other party will be separated, and then they will take over by themselves and find a long-term meal ticket."

Richard looked dazed, as if listening to a book from heaven, unable to imagine what kind of woman this was.

"Don't challenge other people's profession, that's their profession."

"It's normal for your old man to be afraid that you will learn to be bad. I have all kinds of bad guys here, cheaters, scammers. Once they are targeted by those people, there will be no good end." Sean smiled and looked at Richard. , "But don't worry, when you come here in the future, someone will follow you the whole time. Those professional liars naturally dare not approach you unless they want to die."

"Since you know they are professional liars, why don't you drive them away?" Richard looked puzzled.

"Why do you want to drive away? Sometimes these people are quite useful." Sean raised his eyebrows, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point in one direction. There was a man there, who looked young and handsome. Opposite him was a woman. Looking at their age, they are not too young, but the two of them are like glue, and there is a sweet and greasy smell in the air.

"For example, let them attack the wife of a certain target character, that can get a lot of what they want."

"Fuck!" Richard's eyeballs almost popped out. What his father said was correct. He would learn from Sean. Look, how long has it been and what he has seen.

Seeing Richard like this, Sean laughed out loud. These noble children are still too young, so they don't know anything about the sinister world.

Sean knew what old man David meant, and he brought Richard to gain knowledge, which saved people from being fooled and didn't know what was going on.

"Stay with me for a while, and I'll let someone take you to see what the real world is. This is much more interesting than flying a plane." Sean patted Richard on the shoulder.

At this point, Richard opened the door to a new world.

...

Richard was arranged, and Sean stayed with him all afternoon.

The next day, the Monroe team was brought over again, and old man David said again, "Our plan needs to be changed, and the main market still needs to be opened by ourselves."

It's not that Sean has no means, it's just that it's troublesome.

Taking a two-pronged approach, while waiting for the old man David to help acquire a medium-sized bank, he planned to promote it.

"As long as you are willing to spend money, it's not that difficult to attract depositors, at least it's not difficult to open a card." Sean brought out some promotion methods of later generations, "Hire a large number of local promoters, apply for free cards and give great gifts, as long as Open the card, deposit 100 dollars, I will send 50!"

"Send 50 dollars, what are you kidding?" Monroe almost jumped up, "Boss, we need to attract a large number of depositors, but these depositors must be of quality, not everyone is eligible to get a credit card, those homeless Hans and niggers don't qualify at all, giving $50 would attract a lot of people, but we don't need bums!"

"A million homeless people will leave us with nothing but $50 million lost."

"$100 is not a threshold at all. I know them. They just deposit $100, take the gift, then turn around and withdraw the money, and then pass it to the next person to deposit!"

Sean squinted his eyes. This is indeed a problem. The old beauty is not in the east. There are not so many niggers in the east. Even the poorest shantytowns in the city are self-reliant, "Then limit it, first Can't withdraw money for a month."

"The $50 is changed into a gift bag for life, and it's not really worth $50. Toilet paper, water cups, shampoo, shower gel, vegetable oil, I specially find a manufacturer to order a batch of special supplies and then make a gift bag. I will send it when I get a card. They come in empty-handed and go out with big bags!"

"The location of the ground push has been changed to major local companies, government departments, and nearby shopping malls, targeting these people."

"It's definitely unrealistic to completely eradicate those homeless people, but there is nothing wrong with using these things to attract customers."

"Adjust it according to different situations in different places, understand what I mean, don't count on me for everything!" Sean cursed.

"Of course, of course." Monroe quickly agreed, and the conditions were already very good.

As long as you are willing to spend money, Monroe thinks it is worth even $30 for one valid customer. For 13 million depositors, 1 billion is 30 million...

cough cough.

Once the development route is decided, Sean doesn't care about it. The rest of the site selection and promotion are the business team's business, and he just needs to come up with ideas.

This is not something that can be done in the short term.

Things are moving forward steadily, first of all, the east coast is moving, New York, Portland, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Houston...

More than 10 cities, 60 stores opened at the same time, and more than 5,000 local pushers spilled out, and began to frantically pull people to apply for cards. New Century Media helped publicize, and there was a lot of noise. Sean added fuel to the flames and made a news The incident was tracked and reported by all parties.

As for the effect, it is so-so, neither disappointed nor satisfied.

During this period, the uproarious YL incident finally came to an end, and Weinberg, the Minister of Defense, assumed all the responsibilities and stepped down.

Sean immediately approached him, and Weinberg became the business consultant of New Century Media as a matter of course.

The two parties agreed that after avoiding the limelight for a while, weinberg would have a separate program to analyze various policy matters.

Perhaps it was luck, and good news came from old David. He persuaded a medium-sized bank whose main business scope is in the Gulf Coast, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and the surrounding Texas There is also some business with Oklahoma.

Wuzhou has more than 300 outlets, more than 4,000 employees, 4.8 million depositors, and an asking price of 346 million US dollars.

"No problem, I want it!" Sean took it without any hesitation.

"Ha, rich, self-willed!" Old man David sneered, he still learned this sentence from Sean.

"Yes, rich and self-willed!" Sean laughed, and the price was cheaper than expected.

"Don't worry, it's not unconditional." Old man David said suddenly after making Xiao En happy for a while.

"Ah?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What condition? Who made the condition?"

"Archer Daniels Midland."

"ADM? What do they have to do with banking?"

"Nonsense, the four major grain merchants have businesses all over the world, and there are many banks that cooperate with them. This bank is also within their sphere of influence. What's the problem? The southern animal husbandry and planting industries are very developed, idiot!"

Sean spread his hands, he was ignorant.

It can only be said that not only do I want to be a bank when I grow stronger, but also other industries. The background in the banking industry is really deep.

"Well, what conditions do they have, I still owe ADM a favor."

"Do you know about phosphate rock?" Old David asked.

"Phosphorus, you know, NPK, I also graduated in nine years!" Sean teased, "What's wrong."

"The development of agriculture requires chemical fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizers are synthetic. Potassium mines have a relatively wide distribution, but phosphate mines are just the opposite. throat." Old man David said in a low voice.

Sean's expression became serious, "Tell me carefully."

"The world's main phosphate rock production area is first in Africa, accounting for 90% of the reserves, and second in the Middle East."

"In North America, our reserves are about 1 billion tons, and Brazil's is about 1.6 billion tons. It can be said that there are no reserves in other regions."

"Ah?" Sean had a weird expression on his face. "Africa is a place where you can't even eat food. The reserves are so large. The second is the Middle East, which is also arid and does not produce food. This world is really interesting!"

"What do they want me to do?"

"Go to Africa." David took a map, pointed to the northwest of Africa and said, "In Morocco, Western Sahara and Algeria, 90% of the world's phosphate mines are here."

Sean poked his head over to look, with a half-smile on his face, "Good guy, I also said that Morocco is next to Spain, with the Strait of Gibraltar in between, how can it be so poor?"

"So it's because there are treasures underground!"

"Hahaha."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it, but I can't be persuaded by a bankrupt bank."

"Of course, they'll send someone to talk to you."

"Okay, let them come, I'll wait for them in Newark."
