Chapter 903: 899. Pulling One Hair Affects the Whole Body (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

The Rhode Family wants to drag things out, while Zhang Ran is continuously applying pressure on his side.

This is a standoff between the two sides; neither will give up easily, and at the same time, the Swiss Bank is bearing immense pressure.

They never imagined before that such a thing would actually happen to them, as this was originally a matter that had absolutely nothing to do with them.

But now that Zhang Ran has seized a handle on them, they have suddenly become the target of competition between the two parties.

However, unlike others who can play both sides, they are currently facing enormous pressure.

If they don't choose the Rhode Family, they will need to bear Zhang Ran's public opinion offensive, and when that time comes, Zhang Ran certainly won't just laugh it off and refrain from publicizing this matter.

Or if they choose Zhang Ran, then they will have forged a grudge with the Rhode Family, and will also lose some of their customers' trust.

This is a dilemma.

All in all, regardless of whether Zhang Ran wins or the Rhode Family prevails in the future, they are bound to suffer losses.

To the point that they now hate the person who took Zhang Ran's things to death.

But compared to them, Zhang Ran actually has no particular feelings toward this person.

If this were any other time, if Zhang Ran's things were taken by someone else, Zhang Ran would definitely let that person know what regret means.

But now Zhang Ran is not anxious at all, and doesn't even have the slightest inclination to look for this person, because no matter what, his things will definitely still be his.

Regardless of what the final outcome is, the Swiss Bank will deliver the items to his hands exactly as they were.

Even if they have to pay a heavy price to do so.

Therefore, Zhang Ran is not anxious at all.

Zhang Ran only needs to keep creating pressure on the Swiss Bank, so early the next morning, he met with several executives from world-renowned banks.

Regardless of whether Zhang Ran invited them or these people came to him on their own initiative, such actions brought immense psychological pressure to the Swiss Bank.

And the handles Zhang Ran holds will even threaten some of their core businesses.

As the bank advertised as the safest in the world, all of the Swiss Bank's clients are extremely confidential, and their assets are the most secure.

Once this claim is broken, they will lose far too much.

Therefore, there is a reason why these banks are approaching Zhang Ran.

They are all thinking of taking the opportunity to seize market share; this is an excellent chance.

Although the Swiss Bank feels aggrieved inside, they have to admit that it is fortunate that this is Zhang Ran.

Because it is precisely because this matter happened to Zhang Ran that, before obtaining Zhang Ran's permission, those banks dare not publicize it casually even if they have obtained some information.

Not to mention whether this would offend Zhang Ran—after all, none of these banks are pushovers, and they aren't afraid of offending Zhang Ran.

What they are worried about is that if they publicize it, and then Zhang Ran stands up and says that there is no such thing.

Then they would be doing wedding clothes for someone else, and would even damage their own reputation; after all, Zhang Ran is not afraid of them either.

So no matter what, if one wants to publicize this matter, they must obtain Zhang Ran's consent; otherwise, doing anything more is meaningless.

Zhang Ran is applying pressure, while the Rhode Family is promising benefits.

In the morning, Jiasen finally walked out of his room, arrived at the Swiss Bank headquarters, and met with some people.

"Our Rhode Family has always been a partner of your esteemed bank, and it has been so many years; our cooperation has also been very pleasant," Jiasen said with a smile, his face showing not the slightest impatience, as if the state he was in yesterday had not happened to him at all.

After Qiaosilin's reminder and his own reflection, Jiasen had managed to untie the knot in his heart.

Aosituo nodded upon hearing this and said, "I acknowledge this point; for so many years, I have also been participating in the cooperation between our two houses."

"But Mr. Jiasen, you know the situation with the current matter; once Zhang Ran starts publicizing this widely, then let's not talk about other things for now."

"Just all the efforts over in Asia will be in vain, and the losses will be immeasurably huge."

Although Aosituo is biased toward the Rhode Family, this is not because of any other reason, but simply because he is a vested interest holder on the Rhode Family's side.

But regardless, he is also the CEO of the Swiss Bank, and all his starting points must still be based on the fundamental interests of the Swiss Bank.

The meaning behind his words is also very clear: that is, what can your Rhode Family offer?

Jiasen was not angry upon hearing this; if it were before, he probably would have been jumping up and down in a rage, but now, he can think calmly.

"I know some of the situation, but as far as I know, this was entirely caused by your bank internally, not because of us. Now that a problem has arisen, you want our Rhode Family to foot the bill—Mr. Aosituo, do you think this is reasonable?" Jiasen countered.

Of course, this is not reasonable!

But the actual situation is that, no matter what, even if the Swiss Bank wants to support the Rhode Family, they need the Rhode Family to pay enough benefits; otherwise, they would absolutely not stand on the Rhode Family's side.

This sounds very unreasonable, but that is the reality of the situation.

Aosituo's expression did not change in the slightest. "You can't put it that way. Although Zhang Ran has seized a handle caused by our internal affairs."

"But if it weren't for the relationship between you, we could have negotiated with Zhang Ran, and this would not have happened."

Jiasen watched Aosituo say such things without blushing or skipping a beat, and he truly felt some emotion in his heart.

Compared to being shameless, he really is far behind; to be able to say such things with such righteousness is truly not ordinary shamelessness.

But at this moment, Jiasen cannot truly be angry; instead, he needs to compromise, because they really have no money now.

Now their money is all needed to pay for the Oil Bond from the Southern Bank; once they choose Zhang Ran here, they will not have enough funds to repay the bonds.

In this way, it will cause great harm to the overall reputation of the Rhode Family, and they will also have their stocks dumped by institutions holding shares in companies under their name.

Pulling one hair affects the whole body; the danger they will face then will be far greater than this.

And these are precisely what Zhang Ran's goals are.

Jiasen does not doubt at all that once things develop to this point, Zhang Ran will use all his connections and influence to make these institutions dump their stocks.

No one knows if Zhang Ran has any backup plans within these institutions; once such a situation really happens, then the Rhode Family will truly face an unprecedented crisis.

This is also what Jiasen thought of after pondering for the whole night last night.
