Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Austin, the capital of Texas, is where Merlo Bank is headquartered.

David Silva, president of Bank Merlo, is extremely busy. The run on Bank Merlo has intensified and has begun to spread to overseas branches.

At this moment, the red telephone on David Silva's desk beeped.

David Silva grabbed the microphone, and a familiar voice came from the microphone: David, this is Yang Mo!In half an hour, a payment vehicle will arrive at the headquarters of Merlo Bank. You go to the gate of the bank headquarters to greet it in person. Make good use of this opportunity to restore the confidence of depositors..."

As soon as David Silva walked downstairs to the lobby, he was surrounded by anxious depositors. A reporter who was not too concerned about the excitement directly asked an explosive question: "Mr. David Silva , this is Ham, a reporter from Austin Financial News. As far as I know, mainland China is extremely strict on murder cases. If Mr. Yang Mo is imprisoned for this, how will the operation of Merlo Bank be affected?"

"Mr. Yang Mo has temporarily resigned from the position of chairman of Zhiyuan Group to concentrate on personal affairs. Mr. Yang Mo's personal affairs will not have any impact on the group's business. At present, all enterprises under Zhiyuan Group are operating well, especially Merlot The bank has abundant cash flow, and the operating income of overseas branches has continued to increase significantly!" David Silva said with a smile.

However, the reporter still refused to give up and continued to ask: "Mr. David Silva, Bank Merlo's revenue has increased significantly, but its stock price has plummeted. Is this related to Mr. Yang Mo's involvement in a criminal case?"

At this moment, a payment vehicle slowly parked at the entrance of the bank hall. Several armed escorts jumped out of the vehicle and walked quickly towards the bank hall carrying the payment box.

As soon as he reached the center of the hall, an escort suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. The settlement box he was carrying also hit the hall floor heavily.

The other two escorts who filed in behind carrying the payment box were also knocked down and fell on their backs...

Amidst the exclamations, the large-denomination banknotes filled in the two withdrawal boxes were scattered on the ground.

All this happened so suddenly, at the moment when the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, the four escorts showed their professionalism and quickly formed a simple human wall to protect the banknotes scattered on the ground...

The staff at the bank lobby immediately came over to help. They counted the banknotes and confirmed that they were correct on the consignment note before sending them to the warehouse for backup.

After a brief panic, calm returned to the hall. David Silva continued the topic opposite and said: "The rise and fall of stock prices are determined by many factors. I have always believed that the stock price of Bank Merlo is undervalued. Recently, Merlo Bank Bank of America's half-year financial report will be released, and then investors will be able to see the financial status of Bank of America. It is very likely that the board of directors will unanimously approve the proposal to buy back shares..."

Everything that happened in the lobby of Merlo Bank was "coincidentally" photographed by a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News.

The visual impact of banknotes scattered on the ground is better than any feeble explanation.

Merlo Bank's interbank lending is also very smooth. Other commercial banks know how many high-quality assets Zhiyuan Group owns. They know even better that Yang Mo's personal affairs will only cause short-term panic and will not bring catastrophic consequences.

Merlo Bank finally survived its second run crisis in a few years.

Yang Mo's troubles are far from over. Xu Xiaohu's father, Xu Mingquan, serves as the plaintiff's attorney and officially initiates a criminal lawsuit at the Kowloon District Court where Yang Mo is registered!

The well-known Luo Yuanshan Law Firm in Hong Kong took over this criminal lawsuit with civil compensation.

Zhiyuan Group Headquarters.

Reporters from various media surrounded the door. After several days of pursuit and interception, Yang Mo, overwhelmed by the disturbance, simply held his first press conference since the incident.

"Mr. Yang Mo, this is South China Morning Post reporter Wang Xicheng. Did you jump in line at Xiaping Brigade, Bei'an Commune, Annan County, Honghe Province 17 years ago? Was your name Ren Jie at that time?" After receiving approval, a young man wearing glasses asked He stood up and asked.

"Yes!" Contrary to most people's expectations, Yang Mo admitted his status as an educated youth without any hesitation at all.

"Mr. Yang Mo, there are rumors in the mainland media that you were involved in a murder case 17 years ago. The victim's relatives have launched a criminal incidental civil lawsuit against you in the Kowloon District Court. Do you have anything to say about this?" Wang Xicheng continued to ask. road.

"First of all, I want to correct your point of view! The so-called murder case 17 years ago was actually an attempted kidnapping and rape case. The deceased in this case was not the victim, but the main kidnapper! In order to save people, I fought with three knives with my bare hands The kidnappers fought..." Yang Mo said in a deep voice.

The whole venue was in an uproar...

"Mr. Yang Mo, since you think you are acting bravely, why do you still abscond in fear of crime? Smuggled to Xiangjiang? It seems unjustifiable from a rational point of view, right?" a reporter from Xiangjiang Commercial Daily asked maliciously.

Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said: "This journalist friend's doubts are not unreasonable. I was only 18 years old at that time. After chasing the other two kidnappers to no avail, I returned to the cave where the crime occurred and found that the main kidnapper was bleeding a lot. I panicked. After a while, I returned to the educated youth center, took some simple clothes, and started my escape..."

"Mr. Yang Mo, who is the kidnapped person in the attempted kidnapping and rape case you mentioned? What is her relationship with you?" asked a reporter from Apple Daily.

Yang Mo pondered for a moment and then said: "I'm very sorry. In order to protect the privacy of the victim, it is temporarily inconvenient to reveal the victim's identity!"

"Mr. Yang Mo, while you were awaiting trial, you voluntarily resigned from your position as chairman of Zhiyuan Group. Is it because you and your defense team are not optimistic about this criminal lawsuit? Are you worried that being behind bars will have a negative impact on the company?" Xiangjiang The Business Daily reporter continued to ask maliciously.

Yang Mo was not angry at all, and still smiled and said: "This is just a normal personnel change. If there is a deeper reason? I think it can be considered that Zhiyuan Group has announced that the group has passed through this personnel change. The most difficult period for starting a business..."

"Mr. Yang Mo, at this sensitive moment, Zhiyuan Group has signed an investment of more than 20 billion US dollars in a shipbuilding industry company with the mainland government. Is there any exchange of interests behind this investment project? According to our investigation, Zhiyuan Group has made many investments in the mainland in recent years. During the negotiation process of investment projects, incredible concessions are often made. Are these major concessions related to the murder case you were involved in?" Xiangjiang Commercial Daily obviously has a special mission, throwing out one guiding article after another. question!
