Chapter 1018: Zhang Cheng

In the oppressive office, Bai Xuanling was sitting on the sofa.

Looking at Xiao Enhua, Zhang Cheng's fingers kept tapping on the armrest.

"Such a big thing, why didn't anyone report it to me?"

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhang Cheng asked in confusion.

"This matter happened too suddenly, so I haven't figured out how to tell you yet!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Xiao Enhua spread his hands.

"Enough, Xiao, this is not your reason!"

Looking at Xiao Enhua seriously, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said: "So, you want to find me to buy guns to kill them?"

"The people on that ship are all our compatriots, but now they are being tricked into being pigs!"

Speaking angrily, Bai Xuanling couldn't help but say viciously: "This requires someone to pay the price!"

"Whose people are those 'guest heads'!"

Looking at Xiao Enhua, Zhang Cheng became stern.

Although he had long been clear about the dark curtain of shipping, he had thought that with the Far East Group, no one would dare to mess with the Chinese. But now it seemed that Zhang Cheng had thought too simply, and these people, for the sake of profit, even dared to make deals with the devil!

"It's the Bank of the Americas!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xiao Enhua explained.

"Massachusetts Bank?"

Looking at Xiao Enhua suspiciously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but frown.

Because this was the second oldest bank in America.

Even after Zhang Cheng became the president of Wells Fargo, he had had quite a few conflicts with the other party.

On one hand, everyone was in California and wanted to fight for control of the consortium; on the other hand, the other party didn't recognize his identity.

So there were many conflicts, and in the end, Zhang Cheng used the relationship of the Civil War to thoroughly suppress the other party.

But he hadn't expected that even in a different world, he would still have to compete with the other party again!

"That's right, it's them. People from the Far East basically all belong to their transport. This time's matter..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Xiao Enhua explained.

And hearing this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smash the armrest and say: "Damn bastard!"

"Zhang, your top priority now is to stabilize the group and expand weapon production, not to launch a war against a bank with sky-high financial power. This is very unfavorable for us!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xiao Enhua explained.

Their strength wasn't weak, but the other party wasn't easy to bully either.

Choosing to start a war rashly for the lives of some Chinese people was not the best way.

Xiao Enhua knew that after Bai Xuanling came to find Zhang Cheng, he knew what was going to happen, so he chased after him directly.

But he never expected that Bai Xuanling hadn't even exploded yet, and Zhang Cheng had already completely exploded.

"Don't worry, Xiao, we are a nation of etiquette and will absolutely not do anything dangerous!"

Hearing Xiao Enhua's words, Zhang Cheng explained, but the gloom in his eyes didn't dissipate for a long time.

Half an hour later, after Xiao Enhua left, Bai Xuanling said with a solemn face: "If you don't dare to take action, then give me the guns, and I will take action!"

"Did you come to me to buy guns? You are asking me to stand up for you!"

Looking at Bai Xuanling, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but exhale a thick fog, his eyes flashing with light.

After all, he knew too clearly what Bai Xuanling was thinking.

Bai Xuanling didn't have the ability or the courage to confront the Bank of the Americas.

After all, back then, a single Grant could suppress Bai Xuanling until he couldn't breathe, let alone a member of the California consortium!

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Bai Xuanling didn't feel awkward either.

After all, he didn't have the strength, but that didn't mean the young man in front of him couldn't do it!

Zhang Cheng's method of dealing with Grant back then simply opened a new world for Bai Xuanling.

Because he hadn't expected that there was such a way to handle conflicts!

Turning to look at Lai Fujie beside him, Zhang Cheng said: "Let Alfred send all the silver in his hands over, and then deposit it into the Bank of the Americas!"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Bai Xuanling said in shock: "You are still helping the enemy?"

"You don't understand how civilized people do things!"

Speaking to Bai Xuanling, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but become gloomy.

Because this time, he was not only going to take action against the Bank of the Americas but also hang all these "guest heads" who ate inside and out at the port!

San Francisco, Bank of the Americas.

When the mountain of silver entered the vault, the bank's general manager even came out to receive them personally.

Because this deposit had reached a staggering ten million US dollars.

You have to know, this was 1916! People who had ten million US dollars were all super-rich, like Morgan and others.

Although this money wasn't much for them, in this day and age, millionaires were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

After all the procedures were completed, Alfred found another insurance company in the California group to take out insurance. After all, if something happened to this money, it would be a double surprise!

After finishing all the procedures, Alfred returned to the town of Big Whiskey.

Because only after he returned to Kansas could he shed all suspicion.

Wells Fargo: Wait, I feel like this move is a bit familiar!

Zhang Cheng: I pitted you like this back then!

In the silent night, people were sleeping soundly.

However, just at this moment, a whistling sound rang out.

When the sound of gunfire resounded, people discovered that flames were burning on the street.

Looking at the location of the Bank of the Americas, everyone's faces were filled with shock, because someone actually dared to rob a bank in San Francisco?

Holding a Thompson, Zhang Cheng pulled the trigger at the cowboys in front.

"Da da, da da da!"

In the whistling metal storm, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold: "Small fry, do you see? This is the way of a nation of etiquette!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Their bodies were beaten into honeycombs, and the cowboys fell into a pool of blood.

And when the police who rushed over saw this scene, they became panicked immediately.

Because they had at most shotguns and revolvers in their hands; how could they dare to confront the robbers who possessed heavy firepower in front of them!

Occupying the bank thoroughly within three minutes, a large amount of gold and banknotes were packed and sent away.

Learning the news that the bank had been robbed, the top management of the Bank of the Americas was stunned, because this wasn't just trouble; this was life-threatening!

However, compared to the Bank of the Americas, the insurance company was even more panicked.

Because most of the customers who deposited money in the Bank of the Americas had insurance with them!

Now it was good, a double blow had come. The customers' money had to be compensated, and the bank's money also had to be compensated.

Don't think that because everyone is in the same consortium, they can sit down and talk. In America, when it comes to money, even your own father won't work!

"Damn it, find someone quickly to kill those robbers and get my money back!"

Roaring angrily, the president of the Bank of the Americas had gone completely crazy.

As the person in charge in San Francisco, he knew too well how much money was in the vault. Once a run occurred, the consequences would be fatal, and it would likely implicate the head office. By then, it wouldn't be a matter of one person dying, but the whole family dying together!

This was also why banks took out a lot of insurance for themselves; it wasn't because they were afraid of being robbed, but because they were afraid of a run.

Don't talk about bullshit like "long history." Once a problem occurs, from top to bottom, no one is clean!

In the burning flames, Xiao Enhua was stunned on the spot, because he suddenly thought of Zhang Cheng's words: a nation of etiquette!
