Chapter 177: Showdown to Wall Street(2/3)
If there is something good to be done.
To investigate at this time, Paulson
From last year to this year, the words and tone of speech when speaking in the media.
They will be surprised to find out.
This bald bank executive's words in front of the media have become increasingly calm and official.
Wait another year.
Everyone will know why Paulson changed like this when he was interviewed at this time.
Because just next year, he will become our finance minister!
It was obvious that he had already come into contact with the people who were about to live in the white house before that.
Otherwise, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal today.
You wouldn't say something very official like this.
In various series of interviews and reports.
about this matter.
Most of the CEOs of the big investment banks on Wall Street are concerned about the emergence and rise of Pacific Commercial Bank.
Adopt a "reserved cautious attitude".
As for those large banks, like Wells Fargo, Citigroup, etc.
They basically didn't express their opinions.
But in private, Abel's cell phone rang much more frequently.
Just like December 6th.
Beverly Hills, address.
The edge of the outdoor skyline pool on the terrace overlooking the entire night view of Los Angeles.
Abel lies on Jessica Alba's soft, white thighs.
In heated pool water.
He then took a call from Morgan Stanley CEO Philip Purcell.
"~Ha, Philip, I'm serious."
"I have already discussed this gambling agreement with the Texas consortium and Warren."
"That's right, they, like you, don't agree with my offer."
"Like you, they all think that my offer is too high. Even if they don't say it, I think they must be saying that I am arrogant."
"But I say to you, Philip. Just as I say to them."
"That's why in my heart, I feel that this quote is really not high!"
"Ha~ I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
"Philip, please think about it. I'm still in Los Angeles, so I'm going to say this first!"
Abel hung up the phone first.
After hanging up the phone, he had a bad expression on his face.
This makes Jessica Alba a little worried.
The beautiful woman, who was full of mixed-race amorous feelings, stretched out a pair of catkins and gently massaged his forehead.
"Hey Jessica, it's only been two days. You've learned really well!"
Abel, who was in a bad mood, enjoyed the beauty's flattery.
he said to Jessica Alba with a smile.
Jessica Alba has a bright smile on her face.
She has just completed special training and will start filming the latest version of "007" next year.
Jessica Alba can take some time off next.
She won't have to work for at least half a month.
She'll be back from Seattle soon.
Rather than being too smart, Annie is a little less smart when it comes to choices.
Jessica is about the same age as Anne.
But from beginning to end, she knew what she wanted.
From beginning to end, she knew who could better bring all this to herself.
Compared to Annie, Abel had to use some methods and let Jin Na guide her.
Let Abel worry.
Jessica Alba really made Abel so relieved.
What appeared in front of Abel's eyes was that Jessica Alba was very obedient.
And as his status and wealth rise, he becomes more and more obedient.
When she was in New York, Jessica still had some intention of pursuing free love.
Now, after becoming the heroine of "007".
Jessica became submissive to Abel.
Even the scandals that Abel was exposed in the media.
Jessica Alba has the attitude of not even asking.
It seems to be saying, as long as you keep feeding me, I will be full.
Then I don't care how many fish you have in your pond!
She is a smart and sensible girl.
And this time she came back, in this villa.
In a spa.
When Abel praised the spa therapist's performance so much.
She even directly proposed on the spot that she wanted to learn the other person's massage techniques.
Then she really learned it and spent a little extra money to have the masseuse teach her some massage techniques.
Then she used this relaxing massage technique on Abel.
Maybe not as good as the professional spa therapist, but she is more beautiful.
You can also wear a bikini and let Abel enjoy the massage while reaching up...
In contrast, of course Jessica's service that included sight, touch, smell, and hearing made him even more satisfied!
"As long as you like it." Jessica Alba smiled sweetly, bending down slightly to make it easier for him to play with.
Abel is holding a mobile phone in one hand and another
He soaked most of his body in the heated pool water, which was as warm as December.
Accept Jessica Alba's flattery.
He closed his eyes slightly, thinking about his next plan.
This radical plan to enter the banking industry went smoothly in terms of acquisitions and mergers.
There are more than 9,000 banks in the United States.
It is not difficult to acquire dozens of companies.
Of the more than 9,000 U.S. banks, it is estimated that at least 9,000 are small-scale banks like Pacific Bank of Commerce.
The total assets of these banks are only one to two billion US dollars.
Even if you buy it at a premium, it won't be much more expensive.
What's more, most small banks are having difficulty operating in the current environment.
Many times you can get them directly without paying a premium.
Like this time, it took less than half a month.
Abel acquired fifteen such small banks on the West Coast.
The total cost is only about US$4.5 billion, and the total premium is less than US$500 million.
Now he has integrated these banks, their branches, and businesses into Pacific Commercial Bank.
This makes the current Pacific Commercial Bank a "large" small bank with total assets of US$4 billion and custody funds of US$27 billion.
