Chapter 261

No thinking, no emotion, the soul seemed to fall into the abyss, not existing a trace of feeling.

In the empty and dead abyss, I don't know how long it had been, but finally, a trace of light was born.

As soon as this trace of light appeared, it was brilliant, illuminating all darkness, dispelling all coldness, and perception returned to the depths of Ye Nan's thinking.

Ye Nan's figure slowly condensed and formed in the abyss. He shook his head and looked at the scene around him, his face full of confusion.

"Where is this? Why is it pitch black? It wouldn't be that I traveled through time again, would it?"

Thinking of traveling through time, a sense of sadness arose in Ye Nan's heart. In his previous life, he had few attachments, and this world was wonderful enough to make him somewhat reluctant to leave. But in this world, there were many attachments, and no matter what, he wouldn't be willing to leave.

"Where exactly is this? Damn it, there's not even a person. It wouldn't be that I traveled back to the beginning of the world, would it?" Ye Nan cursed loudly. "Bastard, I want to go back, I don't want to come to primitive society."

Ye Nan didn't know what the beginning of the world looked like, and he didn't want to know. He only knew that the time at the beginning of the world was calculated in tens of thousands of years. If he really traveled here, I'm afraid that before all things were born, he could just die of old age.

No matter where it is, time is a butcher's knife. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. No one can escape it.

Suddenly, the light in front of Ye Nan rushed over. Before Ye Nan could react, it drilled into Ye Nan's body. The next moment, an unparalleled suction force sucked Ye Nan in.

"How is it, Doctor? How is Ye Nan?"

In the ward, Angela sat in a wheelchair, her two fair hands tightly grabbing Ye Nan, and on the other side, Ellie was also grabbing Ye Nan's hand, refusing to let go.

At that time, Ellie was translating the text on the Book of the Dead. Suddenly hearing the news that Ye Nan had fallen into a coma, she immediately rushed over, and afterwards, she had been guarding Ye Nan's side, refusing to let go.

"I don't know either. His body is very normal, but his brain waves are very weak, just like a vegetable." The doctor's face was a bit bitter and a bit worried.

Who was Ye Nan? He was the investor of this hospital and also the chairman of the ICQ company. He was a very influential social celebrity. His influence, in some respects, even exceeded that of President Bush. If such a person died in front of him, his end wouldn't be much better.

"I hope he can wake up by himself." The doctor added and stood on the side, constantly recording data, his pen writing and stopping.

Hearing the doctor's words, Angela suddenly became desperate. "Ye Nan, if you die, I will lose the meaning of life."

Angela looked at Ye Nan's face, gently stroked his face, and left a trace of temperature. "I will always be with you, until forever."

Hearing Angela's words that were almost like dream talk, Ellie raised her head and looked at Angela with some disbelief. "Angela, you..."

"My life has always been gray. Only by Ye Nan's side did I have a trace of color." Angela said lightly, her voice plain, her face plain, and her eyes were even plainer, almost like death.

"I understand." Ellie's eyes dimmed. After all, she was not as hot as Angela was toward Ye Nan. She knew that in this battle for marriage, she had lost. Before it even started, she had already lost.

"What are you talking about?" A weak voice came. Ye Nan struggled to support his body. Just now, in a daze, he heard some bad words, but he couldn't hear them clearly.

"Ye Nan, you're awake." Angela happily climbed onto the hospital bed and hugged Ye Nan, her eyes full of excited tears....

"Angela, how long have I been in a coma?"

"Ellie, why are you here? Shouldn't you be translating your Book of the Dead?"

"And you, you, you two bastards, hurry and tell me, how long have I been in a coma?"

Ye Nan pointed at Peter and Stark's noses and cursed, completely without the weakness he had just now.

"Hehe, you're finally awake."

Being pointed at the nose and cursed, if someone else was cursing him, he would have fought back long ago. Even if it was Ye Nan, he would have fought back. But Ye Nan had just woken up and couldn't afford to be angry, so he automatically filtered out the indecent words in Ye Nan's mouth.

"What's wrong with you today?" Ye Nan looked at Stark suspiciously. If it were before, if he was cursed like this by himself, he would have fought back in anger. How could he be like this now?

"Nothing, just that you've been in a coma for so long, I don't have the heart to argue with you." Stark laughed. Peter watched Ye Nan laugh on the side. With two women by his side, Ye Nan felt weird no matter how he looked at it.

"Have I been in a coma for a long time?" Ye Nan asked.

Now was the critical moment. Doctor Octopus would appear soon, and Magneto would also show his fangs, as well as that Professor X who was against him, and the battle on the nameless island, all needed his attention. But now, he was actually in a coma.

"Damn it, I hope all this doesn't calm down." Ye Nan cursed in his heart. He racked his brains to lay out, inserted his own people in all aspects, turned himself into a sturdy big tree, constantly absorbing nutrients from the outside world. He didn't want to lose this opportunity, this opportunity that could provide more nutrients for the big tree.

"It's been three days, which means you've been in a coma for three days and three nights. To be honest, if you continued to be in a coma, I would have gone to your company to make a scene." Stark answered with a smile.

"Three days? That's good!" Ye Nan breathed a sigh of relief. It had only been three days. Many things wouldn't happen, or rather, if they wanted to happen, three days wouldn't be enough.

"But why did you say you were going to make a scene at my company?"

Ye Nan looked at Stark strangely. He was also a director, so there was no reason to make a scene at the company, unless there was a problem in the company.

"Dividends." Stark spat out two words lightly and then looked at Ye Nan with a smile.

"It's actually dividends." Ye Nan's old face turned red. Since the founding of the ICQ company, he hadn't had a single dividend, because all the money had been invested in the ICQ company.

Of course, this also had to do with those shareholders who held stocks and didn't make a scene. They were all members of the company and couldn't support the rapid development of the company more. Instead, even if there were dividends, they were invested in other capital, so it was better to let the ICQ company develop more rapidly.

However, not making a scene didn't mean there was no need for dividends. Now that Stark brought it up, he was immediately embarrassed.

"After I go back, I will give you dividends." Ye Nan said sheepishly.

"Haha..." Stark looked at Ye Nan's appearance and couldn't help but laugh. "Actually, during the time you were in a coma, Philip found us to discuss the matter of dividends, but it was rejected by Peter and me. We thought all the funds should be invested in merging banks."

"This decision is very correct." Ye Nan nodded and acknowledged.

In fact, the bank itself couldn't get too much profit, and it would even absorb the company's funds, but the role of the bank was to prepare for the major companies of the consortium to finance and extend tentacles.

Financing naturally goes without saying. The bank's massive cash flow is enough to make any enterprise covet, and its tentacle function is what makes all consortia happy.

A consortium cannot just be a monopolist in one industry. It needs more companies from all walks of life to provide a complete industrial chain for the consortium, and the bank is the core of the consortium. Its countless tentacles can firmly grasp the companies of the consortium, making them closely combined....

Of course, the bank's tentacles are not just this. It can provide convenience for the expansion of the consortium because many companies need to find bank loans, but not every company can afford to repay the loans.

Once they can't repay, the company will go bankrupt, and the bankrupt company will be grasped by the bank's tentacles. If the consortium thinks this company is a high-quality asset and can form a supplement to the consortium, it will be absorbed. If not, it will naturally be abandoned. Through this convenience, the strength of the consortium will expand rapidly, and unknowingly, it will control countless enterprises.

The Jewish bankers back then used banks to lend to the whole of Germany, and then with the help of the impact of the failure of World War I, through banks, they defeated the Junker consortium and annexed the entire German industry. Whether it was shipbuilding, steel, arms, or other industries, they were all controlled by Jewish bankers, finally leading the little mustache to have to use extreme means to deal with Jewish bankers, because normal means simply couldn't deal with Jewish bankers.

"You probably can't guess what bank Philip is annexing." Stark said mysteriously.

"Annexing what bank? Could it be Citibank?" Ye Nan guessed.

Once in his memory, Citibank had a major crisis, but he didn't know what kind of crisis it was, and this world was not the world of his previous life. Here, it was a world where various superheroes flew around in movies, and the strength of the consortium definitely couldn't be underestimated.

"No." Stark shook his head. "Do you think Citibank is something we can annex? It's impossible. Citibank has more cash than we do. It's simply not something we can annex. The banks Philip is annexing are Standard Chartered, Bank of China, and HSBC, these three note-issuing banks."

"What." Ye Nan was shocked.

He dreamed of annexing the three major note-issuing banks, but these three major note-issuing banks were strong. Don't look at their low ranking among world banks, but holding the power to issue Hong Kong dollars, they were harder to deal with than banks higher in the ranking, especially Bank of China, which relied on the mainland. If you want to annex, you must snatch food from the tiger's mouth from the mainland.

"How is it? Surprised? Actually, this was China coming to the door itself. They wanted our ICQ company to support their interests on the spaceship, or at the very least, share the technology on the spaceship."

"It was precisely because of this opportunity that Philip saw the opportunity to annex the three major note-issuing banks. He didn't hesitate and told the people over there his ambition."

"Then did it succeed?" Ye Nan held the flyer, the joints of his fingers turning white.

Annexing the three major note-issuing banks proved that the ICQ company officially became a consortium, received the recognition of many American consortia, and at the same time, after the merger of the three major note-issuing banks, it would bring a qualitative leap to the ICQ consortium, and the online virtual currency plan would also have the certainty of success.

"No." Stark shook his head, looking at Ye Nan's somewhat disappointed expression, and immediately laughed. "However, don't worry, the conditions we put forward were not just the three major note-issuing banks. We also wanted to extend our tentacles to the mainland, but they said it didn't conform to their national policy and were considering it."

"They can't refuse. The temptation of the spaceship is something they can't refuse."

"Very good, Philip did very well." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
