Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 369 Chapter 368, Public Opinion Storm, Lin Chu's "First Show", Showing Off Wealth (4K)

Now that he has the advantage, having come this far, Lin Chu naturally wants to expand his victory.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. I took a look and saw that it was a call from Li Jingxian.

You arrived just in time.

Before I could respond to his email, the phone rang again.

With a faint smile on his lips, Lin Chu answered the call with the attitude of a winner.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Li Jingxian, and I'm talking to you on behalf of the boss. What I'm going to say next may be a bit long, but I hope you can listen to it."

"The trial results have come out, and the court is temporarily adjourned while the jury deliberates. However, the identification of murder is still ongoing. The facts of the crime are very clear. If confirmed, he may face more than 20 years in prison... This is a high probability event."

"Of course, your countermeasures are completely effective in terms of practical effects. Even if you are facing a global wanted list, it will only cause some minor troubles for your current strength and will not cause much trouble."

"The boss was very appreciative of this response."

"However, there is actually a simpler way, a pardon order. The fair market price of a completely legal pardon order is $350 million. Its effect is equivalent to the ancient red book and iron certificate, which can pardon all crimes within a fixed period of time."

"This, the boss has also prepared it for you in advance."

"This is probably the meaning of this lawsuit - rules. When you are familiar with the rules and are within the threshold, you will naturally have the most appropriate and least costly way to deal with it. But when you are not familiar with it, you can only use force to defeat ten skills."

"The boss wants you to be a director of Citibank. Capital is currently the second most powerful force in the world, and the operation of power has its own unique and high-threshold paradigm. At the same time, as a director of Citibank, your Chinese identity will greatly facilitate whatever you do next, whether in the East or the West. This is also a preparation for the smooth transition of power in the club."

Li Jingxian's voice was steady and rational.

What he said, especially the three words "amnesty order", made Lin Chu stunned for a moment.

And this thing!

Just come to your senses and realize that there is no doubt that it is real.

I have never thought about this.

However, it was part of Lister's design from the very beginning.

What made Lin Chu even more speechless was that this thing was actually so cheap?
Only $350 million?
And it will be sold publicly?

At this moment, Lin Chu thought of a lot of things and had a new understanding of certain rules. This is what it really means: if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

"So, these rules are actually meaningless."

"Violence is still the meta-rule. There is no need for me to abandon the first rule and learn some messy appendages."

Lin Chu spoke calmly, but also pointed out the biggest bug in this set of rules.

“There are two most primitive activities of human beings: one is creation and the other is destruction.”

“Violence can destroy, but it cannot create.”

"The boss guessed you would have such a question, and this is his answer."

Li Jingxian responded quickly.

After hearing this, Lin Chu was silent for a moment: "Citibank, I don't want to be a director, I want to be a shareholder."

Li Jingxian: "Yes, this will be stated in the notarization of the boss's will after he dies."

Hearing this, Lin Chu: …

The feeling at this moment is somewhat awkward.

To be fair, of course I am tempted by this kind of wealth which represents resources and power. Absolutely. After all, it is something that cannot be bought with money and requires "qualifications".

But the matter of "inheritance" still makes me feel inferior to others, as if I am being beaten by others.

However, this is actually the case.

It has come to this point, there is no need to care so much, why be so pretentious?
After hanging up the phone and breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Chu looked towards the endless blue sea. A few white seabirds were flying high in the sky, and his heart suddenly felt a strange beat.

Citibank?

director?

Ever since I was able to make money, I have been acquiring, acquiring, and acquiring all kinds of things, like a snowball. I never expected that at this point I would have to integrate into, or at least participate in, an independent and large system.

Lister's intention in doing this is very clear.

Just familiarize yourself with the rules.

Objectively speaking, the motivation of "cultivation" is actually very obvious.

Of course, there may still be tests, that is, one's ideas change and one is gradually corrupted while in this position, but that is a story for later.

……

three days later.

A confirmation letter quietly stopped in Lin Chu's mailbox. It was sent from Citibank headquarters.

Lister used the authority of the second largest individual shareholder and proposed to give the board seat and vice president position to Lin Chu.

This is official company procedure.

After staring at the email for a while, Lin Chu clicked to confirm.

Come to think of it, this turn of events is quite absurd.

Especially your nationality.

If nothing goes wrong, after this news is released, I will become the highest-ranking Chinese person in overseas companies, right?
You know, even for second-generation immigrants in the past few decades, there are almost impossible barriers to becoming the core power class of the local area.

The core management of these large foreign companies is naturally limited by race. Immigrants may come in to work, but they will never become the core decision-making layer.

And now, he entered under the name of Liszt.

Of course, this also means that he is guaranteeing himself to some extent.

At the same time, when you take this position, you will obviously face various kinds of games.

"Interesting. I'm a non-985211 university graduate with a bachelor's degree. Damn, I managed to become a super-rich worker?"

"How do you become a super-rich person?" First, become a boss, and then as things change step by step, become an employee of a bigger platform... Damn! Funny."

"The foreign language I learned some time ago came in handy..."

"If I really want to go in, I'll first see how they distribute the benefits. I guess they're all ruthless bastards, but it doesn't matter. It's not my company anyway. In this position, it's natural that I'll get the benefits first, and I'll get the benefits and profits first for the things I'm doing now."

Lin Chu shook his head and smiled, all kinds of thoughts running through his mind.

……

——Lin Chu, the first Chinese global vice president of Citibank.

This piece of news subsequently swept across the entire Internet like a tornado, leaving many people confused and feeling incredible.

However, if you keep paying attention to Lin Chu, you can sort out a very clear context.

First, they are prosecuted and their charges are confirmed. Second, they are pardoned and become innocent from a legal perspective.

Then he became the vice president of Citi.

It's like riding a roller coaster, swooping down from the bottom all the way, drawing a parabola that goes up against the sky, almost breaking the waists of all the onlookers.

Except for Lin Chu himself, all his friends, even his father, found this shocking turn of events incredible.

what's going on?

Are Americans taking the wrong medicine?
The situation is changing too fast.

Many people came to ask through various channels. Lin Chu was really annoyed and just posted a message on WeChat Moments.

"Collective response - the news is true. As for how I did it, don't ask. If you ask, just say I'm awesome. Life is often like this, with ups and downs, and wealth and honor are sought in danger."

"In addition, my work authority mainly covers the entire Asia region. The office locations are New York, Hong Kong, and Dubai. We are looking for a CEO team. Self-recommendations are welcome."

Lin Chu didn't pay too much attention to the things that happened as a result.

Anyway, I have explained it clearly.

……

A sunny Monday.

399 Park Avenue, New York, NY.

A black Rolls-Royce came from not far away and slowly stopped at the door. Bodyguards in suits and ties and a secretary in black stockings and high heels welcomed Lin Chu, who was wearing a casual dress made of shantung silk, out of the car. The group slowly walked into the Citibank headquarters building.

The person who came to greet them was the current CEO Fraser, a very capable-looking woman in her late 50s.

Behind him was a huge crowd.

Liszt did not attend at all.

Citibank was founded in 1812 and has a history of more than two hundred years. After so many years of development, it has always been ranked among the top ten banks in the world. Its current market value is nearly billion US dollars, and the wealth it directly or indirectly controls is as high as tens of trillions.

The shareholder structure behind it is extremely complex and cumbersome, making it difficult to trace it back to specific natural persons.

Even Lister, through various channels, holds a total of nearly 8% of the shares.

As for the major shareholders of other factions, Lin Chu had conducted a thorough analysis and found that they had unclear connections with many famous families in history.

For example, the Rockefeller family, which has been widely circulated on the Internet but no one knows whether it is true or not, and the Stillman family, which is not very famous or at least I have never heard of it, and was once intervened by the Morgan family... It is almost half of the history of finance.

This is the real Ship of Theseus. Over the past two hundred years, it has undergone countless changes. The camp remains the same, but the soldiers come and go.

After some polite greetings, Lin Chu followed them into the room, took the special elevator, and walked into the conference room on the 32nd floor of the building.

I have already signed the confirmation letter and all the formalities have been completed. Today is just a formality.

To be honest, Americans are indeed very average when it comes to etiquette and reception. They just do their job in a fair and impartial manner without any special sense of ceremony.

However, the welcome reception in the evening is ready and worth looking forward to.

According to Citibank's current power structure, as a director, I rank fifth in the company, ahead of the chairman, CEO, chief financial officer, and first vice president.

However, they have the power to propose meetings of the board of directors and make proposals on major company affairs and personnel appointments. Of course, whether the proposal will be passed depends on how many people can unite.

now.

Following behind him was An Yunzhi, who came all the way from Dubai.

She studied finance and although she is trying to get pregnant, she has not been successful yet. As a secretary, she is still quite qualified.

Lin Chu sat down at the huge round table and looked at the six people in front of him as if nothing had happened. There were two women, four men, and himself, who were the entire power core of this commercial aircraft carrier.

Lin Chu still has some ideas about today's "first show".

After sitting down, he casually took out a golden pistol from his pocket. It looked like a work of art, and he twirled it between his fingers and played with it.

This scene made everyone else dumbfounded and they could hardly believe their eyes.

This is the board!
What's the point of carrying a pistol?
Although it doesn't look like a real gun, no one knows whether there are bullets in it.

Fraser, the smooth-talking female CEO, showed a perfect smile on her face and asked softly, "Mr. Lin Chu, is this your mascot?"

The appropriate joke made the others smile slightly.

Naturally, everyone present had their own thoughts about this Chinese man who airdropped in. Now that they saw him for the first time, they also had a very deep impression.

He looks like a very rebellious young man, not like a traditional Chinese. He has a good figure, is tall, young, and even looks a bit like a soldier.

Especially, at such a meeting, everyone was carrying weapons, which showed an inappropriate recklessness.

"It's a mascot, after all, everything I have now was obtained with guns and cannons."

"However, instead of having everyone pay attention to my mascot, why not let everyone pay attention to my clothes, Xiangyunsha, a top luxury product from China. The LC Group luxury store on Park Avenue will open in a few days. It is my property, and I have prepared gifts for everyone."

Lin Chu said with a smile, played an advertisement, and then leaned back comfortably in the leather seat like a boss.

Naturally, everyone present knew about this man's worth and wealth. It was impossible not to know.

Of course, how much you can learn depends on each person’s source of information.

"Thank you for your generosity."

"Okay, I won't waste any more time. I'll announce the appointment now. According to the company's articles of association and the nomination of the board of directors, Mr. Lin Chu is now appointed as the bank's director and vice president, in charge of all matters in the Asia-Pacific region."

Fraser stood up and read the document.

Ceremonial applause broke out.

Lin Chu smiled and nodded to everyone. After taking the appointment letter, he glanced around, spread his hands, and said calmly: "Thank you, everyone. One more thing. Before taking office today, I have already opened an account with this bank and prepared to deposit some funds, about 20 billion US dollars, which is not a lot, and it may be more in the future."

"Ms. Fraser, I need my green channel to be opened today."

This statement is totally unconventional and is simply a show of wealth!

Twenty billion US dollars!
This is an almost unimaginable number. Even in New York, he is considered one of the richest people.

Besides, this is cash, not assets or market value!
This cash flow is enough to kill most listed companies in seconds!
Could it be that... he really is taking the job with him own salary?
With such a large sum of money, it is indeed not difficult to be assigned a vice president position in any bank.

However, the value of Lin Chu as the vice president is more than just that.

He is the shareholder representative and also the vice president who is responsible for specific tasks. At the same time, he is naturally still responsible for performance.

With so much private capital, it was covered with a golden coat from the very beginning.

For banks, having money comes first!

It’s natural to worship money!
