Chapter 213: Only talk about interests, don't talk about human feelings!

Kowloon, Citibank,

Walking in wearing a crisp suit, Zhang Cheng was being led by the manager toward the elevator.

Following behind Zhang Cheng, Zhang Yuehan had a playful expression.

And looking at his Second Uncle's appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say: "Second Uncle, can you not have that look? We're here to talk business!"

"Oh, Cheng-zai, talking business doesn't prevent me from picking up girls!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Zhang Yuehan hurriedly explained.

Looking at Zhang Yuehan speechlessly, Zhang Cheng covered his face, not knowing what to say.

Arriving at the office on the top floor, the manager said: "Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment!"

"Alright!"

Looking at the manager beside him, Zhang Cheng turned his head: "Did Zeng Jianqiao agree?"

"Can he not agree? Currently, only we can produce this much cash!"

A mocking expression appeared on his face, and Zhang Yuehan whispered: "Cheng-zai, if you keep doing this, something big will happen sooner or later!"

"Oh, if the trouble is solved, isn't that fine!"

Speaking indifferently, Zhang Cheng crossed his legs and explained with a face full of smiles.

He was someone who knew a thousand ways for a villain to die; how could he possibly make a mistake?

Just take the Pu family head who played chess with him back then; even though his clan was wiped out three times, there were still people who could survive, but after meeting him, Zhang Mou, it was eradicated in one go.

Flattening the wheels, slashing the earthworms, even the passing dog had to take two slaps!

Zhang Cheng: The person who invented the genealogy was truly a genius!

Huang Chao: I think so too!

Not long after, the man who walked out from inside immediately stepped forward: "Oh, Zhang, very happy to see you!"

"Mr. Lawrence!"

Stepping forward with a smile, Zhang Yuehan also hurriedly greeted him.

And just after the two chatted for a while, Zhang Yuehan said: "This is my nephew, Zhang Cheng!"

"Just call me Tang!"

Speaking calmly, Zhang Cheng extended his hand.

With their hands tightly clasped, Lawrence looked at Zhang Cheng: "Tang, you're different from the average Chinese!"

"Is that so? I also feel that way, because I'm more handsome!"

Joking with a smile, Zhang Cheng said: "Talk business first?"

"Good, I like direct people!"

Looking happily at Zhang Cheng, Lawrence also couldn't help but smile.

Because even though he had been here for a long time, he still wasn't used to the way Easterners talked in circles!

After arriving in the office, Zhang Cheng sat on the sofa: "I want Jiawen Group's stock!"

"Oh? You also think highly of the Jiawen Group?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Lawrence couldn't help but take a sip of coffee.

"No, I want to short it!"

Looking at Lawrence, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"Short it?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Lawrence turned his head and said in surprise: "Zhang, your nephew, he seems a bit crazy!"

"Cheng Yiyan has had an accident, do you know? The Jiawen Group is trying to raise funds!"

Looking at Lawrence playfully, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"My God, has he been kidnapped?"

Speaking in disbelief, Lawrence then said: "Are you planning to..."

"That's right, I want to cooperate with you to get the pledged shares from other banks!" Looking seriously at Lawrence, Zhang Cheng naturally understood the current situation of the Jiawen Group.

They were using tricks like a "Ponzi scheme" to continuously cash out the shares in their hands in exchange for money.

If you really wanted to talk about the market value of the Jiawen Group, it was estimated to be less than 500 million.

But what was the Jiawen Group now? A unicorn worth 10 billion!

Li Xiangjiao had reached this point with the support of HSBC!

Otherwise, with his small stature back then, wanting to swallow an elephant and acquire "Hutchison Whampoa" was simply a dream!

Did he think he was Zhang Cheng?

"Then what benefit can I get?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with confusion, Lawrence thought carefully and immediately felt that this matter had potential.

After all, he wasn't the one losing money. Citibank didn't have much cooperation with the Jiawen Group.

Cheng Yiyan's loans were through the Malaysian route, as well as HSBC, Standard Chartered...

After all, the circles were similar, so overall, Citibank was the one that suffered the least!

However, there was still an opportunity now; before Zhang Cheng made his move, Citibank could just grab the valuable things first through debt!

Although HSBC's influence here was huge, don't forget, Citibank wasn't a pushover either.

Founded in 1812, that was enough to prove many things.

When it came to methods, if Hewlett-Packard came, they would have to call him senior!

"Starting today, I will transfer funds to Citibank, and my offshore company will facilitate comprehensive cooperation between both sides!"

Looking at Lawrence with a smile, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes: "And my current funds are only 400 million; I need your help!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Lawrence smiled: "Tang, you are the most frank person I have ever met, but haven't you thought that I might refuse you?"

"You won't, because the person HSBC supports won't associate with Citibank at all. If you want to expand your influence, you can only choose a representative! I am smarter and more ruthless than them!"

Looking seriously at Lawrence, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Just as Zhang Cheng said, although Citibank's power was not bad, here, HSBC had occupied too much of the situation.

The cake was only this big; if you eat more, someone else eats less. So what to do? Of course, you can only rob!

Watching Zhang Cheng mention HSBC, Lawrence smiled: "Do you have plans to go public?"

"If Mr. Lawrence is willing to give me an opportunity, I will prove that Citibank's vision will be unique!"

Looking at Lawrence with a smile, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Walking out of Citibank, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Yuehan got into the Cadillac.

After a long silence, Zhang Yuehan turned his head: "Do you think Lawrence will help you?"

"He definitely will! Because businessmen talk about interests. Those people on the list are just superficial acquaintances with Citibank; no one can help them expand their influence, but I can!"

Speaking with a smile, Zhang Cheng understood the embarrassment of Citibank.

Because in the future, Citibank's defeat in the Far East was an indisputable fact!

As for Zhang Cheng "pledging loyalty" to Citibank, that was just a joke.

What he wanted to do now was to use Citibank's power and support from all aspects to reach the "top"!

Li Xiangjiao could swallow an elephant back then; why couldn't Zhang Cheng use Citibank to climb high and look far!

The next day, news that exploded the entire stock market appeared.

That was that Cheng Yiyan of the Jiawen Group had mysteriously disappeared; it was rumored he had been kidnapped.

When the big players who were waiting to harvest the crops heard this, they hurriedly dialed Zeng Jianqiao's number.

But after getting the accurate result, their hearts instantly turned cold.

Because the originally soaring Jiawen stock price was collapsing at a terrifying speed.

Sitting in the securities company, Zhang Cheng watched Gao Jin directing the traders, his eyes flashing with light: "In the empire of money, everyone is a chess piece."

"Bastard, who, who did this!"

"I want to kill him, I want to kill him!"

Just as many big players watched the Jiawen stock collapse, they immediately showed expressions of heartache.

Because they had originally planned to wait for this bull market to pass and then harvest a big profit, but they didn't expect that before the wind had even dispersed, the pig that had been blown up was gone!

Looking at the people shouting and cursing below, Zhang Cheng smiled, because eating one fish two ways was truly not bad!
