Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was resting in the room on the second floor, looked outside the villa and saw the seven or eight gangsters surrounded by them. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she found out in time and called Zhang Junfeng, a man far away on the other side of the ocean, otherwise she and her child would be in big trouble today! It would be difficult to ensure the safety of herself and her daughter with only the two bodyguards in the villa.
But she was also a little curious, how could these hooligans have the courage to do such a thing in the center of New York? Or was there someone behind them instigating them?! If it was the latter, then they might not be completely out of danger in the future! ...
After more than half an hour of interrogation, the thugs who were beaten up on the lawn finally told the reason why they came here. When the bodyguards learned that the other party had received a "special mission" in the black market and the high bounty, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Even if they can handle this matter, if they don't cut it off at the source, there will probably be a second or third batch of guys who intercept the mission and come to do bad things. After all, "people die for money and birds die for food." How many people can resist the temptation of money?
After understanding the situation clearly, a female bodyguard informed Catherine Zeta-Jones of the situation. As an employer, she naturally has the right to know the current situation. Especially when she is regarded as a bounty target, if she can't come up with a practical solution, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future!
After thinking for a while, Catherine Zeta-Jones decided to let the bodyguards call the police to deal with the gangsters outside. Later, she would discuss with Zhang Junfeng how to deal with this troublesome matter.
"Okay, ma'am! We will get things done according to your request." The female bodyguard nodded and turned to leave.
…
When Zhang Junfeng learned about what happened to Catherine Zeta-Jones, he finally relaxed. Fortunately, he handled it in time, otherwise who knows what would happen tonight? If his lover and daughter were in trouble, even if he rushed to America overnight, he might not be able to reverse the tragic consequences that had already occurred.
After comforting Catherine Zeta-Jones with a few soft words and reminding her to go to bed early, Zhang Junfeng hung up the phone. Although nothing has happened yet, Zhang Junfeng is very concerned about what Catherine Zeta-Jones mentioned about someone posting a reward on the black market.
When he was planning to flee to America to hide, he asked local killers in the United States to teach this guy a painful lesson through the underground black market. If the bounty on the black market cannot be solved, Catherine Zeta-Jones may have other troubles.
In order to ensure the other party's safety, Zhang Junfeng plans to contact Mugur Hosking again tonight and ask him to negotiate with the contact on the black market. If he cannot get the other party to cancel the bounty or find out the information of the person who issued the bounty, he must also issue a higher bounty to protect Catherine Zeta-Jones so that those guys who want to make money will not dare to accept the order rashly.
After all, when a large bounty order with completely opposite tasks appears on the black market, those smart guys will guess that there may be something fishy, and no one will be stupid enough to accept one of the tasks and be sniped by others who accept the opposite task. Once such a bug-like situation occurs, the administrator of the black market bounty will make timely adjustments.
…
By noon the next day, Peter Fuld, who was still expecting good news, did not wait for Zhang Junfeng's lover to be severely punished, but the black market cancelled their bounty mission.
"Marefaq! What on earth is going on? Didn't they say that the bounty would be fulfilled soon after it was posted? Now the mission has not been completed, and it has been returned by the black market?!" Peter Fuld was a little excited. He thought he could vent his anger, but he never expected such an unexpected thing to happen. It somewhat ruined his mood! "...According to the black market, someone offered double the bounty to protect that woman, so they had to cancel the mission first...", the subordinate explained helplessly.
"So... have they discovered our actions behind the scenes?!" Peter Fuld quickly thought of the key point. If this really happened, it would probably bring him a lot of trouble. After all, for a wealthy and powerful person, he would never allow someone to stab him in the back or plot against him.
"...Boss, don't worry, this will never happen. The people on the black market are very trustworthy. Although our bounty mission has been cancelled, our information will not be leaked by the other party!" The subordinate hurriedly explained, fearing that Peter Fuld would misunderstand and he would become the unlucky guy who was blamed by the other party.
"In that case, let's do this for now! Let our people continue to keep a close eye on Comet Capital, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, and report to me immediately if there is any movement."
"Okay, Boss!"
…
In a bar on Bonbo Street in New York, Mugur Hosking smiled at the black market contact in front of him and asked, "So, Pierce, are you willing to trade with me?"
"...What you said before was not a joke, right? As long as I can deal with the mastermind behind the bounty mission, I can get 3 million US dollars?!" Pierce did not answer directly, but seriously confirmed with the other party the promised benefits.
"Of course it's true! My boss only cares about who is the mastermind behind the scenes. If it can be solved with money, it would be perfect! Of course, if you don't agree, we can also spend a lot of money to hire private detectives to investigate, and we can also find out the mastermind behind the scenes. But this 'gratuity' may be taken away by others..."
Although Mugur Hosking was still smiling, it was another story in Pierce's ears. After all, he could get so much money for nothing just by revealing a piece of information. Some people might never encounter such a good thing in their lifetime. If he missed this opportunity to get rich, he would have to work for others again in the future!
…
Under the temptation of huge money, Pierce still spoke out the other party's name and background. When he learned that the other party was actually a middle-level staff member of Lehman Brothers, Mugur Hosking's eyes flashed with surprise.
In his opinion, Comet Capital and Lehman Brothers should have no connection, so why would they do something to the lover of Zhang Junfeng, the big boss? This is really puzzling! "Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"
"This is the information entered into the backend of the black market bounty system, there is absolutely no mistake! If you don't believe it, you can verify it again!" Seeing Mugur Hosking's skeptical look, Pierce hurriedly explained, and his tone became a little heavier.
Mugur Hosking gave the other party a meaningful look, then took out a check with 3 million US dollars written on it from the lining of his clothes, signed his name, dipped his finger in a little red wine and pressed a fingerprint on the signature, "You can take it to Morgan Bank to withdraw cash. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future~!"
"Thank you~!" Pierce was very excited after receiving the check from the other party. If he had some hesitation before, the check in front of him gave him unprecedented confidence. If he didn't take this good thing that fell from the sky, he would have to be a worker for the rest of his life~!
…
After returning to Comet Capital's office building, Mugur Hosking quickly called Zhang Junfeng and reported the progress to him truthfully.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Junfeng, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the ringing of the phone. Although he was a little annoyed, after hearing the familiar voice of Mugur Hosking coming from the phone, he glanced at Li Fuzhen who was still sleeping, then got up and went to the living room downstairs to answer the phone.
…
"Hosking, are you saying that the mastermind behind this bounty is someone from Lehman Brothers?" Zhang Junfeng's face flashed with realization. Although he was not familiar with the person who went to issue the bounty, when it came to Lehman Brothers, Zhang Junfeng quickly thought of Peter Fuld, who had a grudge against him. Apart from that, he and Lehman Brothers should have no other intersections! "Yes, there shouldn't be any problem with this. I used a large sum of money to bribe a black market staff member, and that guy leaked some confidential information in order to get extra benefits." Mugur Hosking said with some pride. Being able to use money to pry open those guys who kept secrets strictly was also a big achievement for him! " ...Then I should know who is behind it~! It should be Peter Fuld, who has a grudge against me! Apart from him, there is no other person from Lehman Brothers who would do such a thing!"
"Since this guy couldn't hold back and took action first, we can't blame him for fighting back! The Jeju Island tourism project that he invested in Goryeo with SK Group and Yuetian Group should be a losing investment. Even if the project can be completed and accepted as scheduled, it will be a long time before the cost can be recovered. You can arrange for someone to spread the news first to create some trouble for him. Then hire some private detectives to investigate him, and you should get a lot of rewards!"
"That's easy! But Boss, why don't you just post a bounty on the black market, just like you did before, to teach the other party a painful lesson and give them a warning?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhang Junfeng curled his lips helplessly, "The situation is completely different from before. Peter Fuld's uncle Dick Fuld is a powerful figure in Lehman Brothers. If we directly post a bounty on the black market, there is a high probability that the other party will find out. Since the people over there can sell out others for money, they can naturally sell out us for money!"
If possible, Zhang Junfeng naturally hoped to kill the other party in secret with a little money. But killing Peter Fuld alone does not mean that the matter can end here. If the old man Dick Fuld wants to avenge his nephew, he will probably fall into continuous trouble and fighting. This result is not what Zhang Junfeng wants to see.
If he wants to completely get rid of Peter Fuld and the people behind him, he has to deal a heavy blow to Lehman Brothers or make Peter Fuld and Dick Fuld, uncle and nephew, run into serious problems and be abandoned by Lehman Brothers. Only then can he completely get rid of them.
…
When Zhang Junfeng ended the call and returned to the room, he found that Li Fuzhen, who was originally still sleeping, was already half leaning on the bed, looking at Zhang Junfeng curiously, "You called me so late, is there something important to talk to you about?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junfeng smiled and explained that the United States had discovered a new investment project and reported it to him, and it was nothing serious, so they could continue to rest.
Hearing Zhang Junfeng say this, Li Fuzhen looked at him suspiciously, and after not finding anything, she lay down again and prepared to rest.
…
A few days later, when Comet Capital received a call from a new corporate representative who wanted to discuss cooperation with them on the credit card company, Zhang Junfeng signaled to Wu Xiuying to let the staff contact LG Group first to see how much the other party could pay to save the credit card company. As for the other companies, they could be put aside for the time being.
Many corporate representatives naturally had complaints about Zhang Junfeng's arrangement, but the situation was stronger than people and they had to ask for help, so they could only wait patiently for the other party's news. Now, apart from the powerful Comet Capital, there is probably no other financial institution that can mobilize enough funds to help them solve the problem in a short time.
Due to the tacit approval and connivance of the government, the credit card market has become increasingly chaotic. The most difficult problem is that the number of overdue credit card users continues to rise, and the problem of bad debts is getting more and more serious. If it is not curbed and funds are mobilized to settle accounts, it will not be long before the credit card company's capital chain is broken. At that time, not only will the credit card company be unable to continue, but the entire group itself may be greatly negatively affected by the large amount of bad debts of the credit card company.
They naturally considered applying for large loans from state-owned banks, but due to the legal provisions promulgated after the previous financial crisis, the possibility of Korean companies applying directly from domestic state-owned banks for loans and being approved has been reduced to less than 1/4 of the original. Almost all loan applications from most institutions have been rejected by banks for various reasons, which has blocked their second path.
…
In the Comet Capital conference room, Zhang Junfeng smiled and greeted LG Group Chairman Gu Zijing, who was sitting opposite him with gray hair on his temples. "Chairman Gu, I didn't expect that our meeting would be in such an occasion. It's really touching~!"
Hearing such teasing words right at the beginning, Gu Zijing's somewhat stiff cheeks twitched unconsciously, and he replied with a rather unnatural smile, "President Zhang Junfeng is joking. It must be that Comet Capital is busy with business. We have made several appointments here and barely made an appointment to come here and chat with President Zhang Junfeng." (End of this chapter)
