Chapter 1499 - The Second Step to Rule North America (2/2)

When they saw Jiang Chen appear, almost everyone looked surprised.

They originally thought that someone else would lead the meeting instead of Jiang Chen.

After all, the attack in the morning made headlines.

For the financial giants that just left St. Regis, as long as they were not blind, they would not have missed the attack.

Because of this, when they saw Jiang Chen, they were a little uneasy.

If Jiang Chen blamed the attack on them or used the attack as an excuse to take more away from them, they could only take the hit and swallow down their teeth. They were only certain that the attack was supported by someone on Wall Street, given the fact they knew Jiang Chen’s location so well. As for the fact who dared to plan an attack, they were also eager to know.

If they learned the perpetrator behind the attack, they would gladly dirty their hands and get rid of that idiot to avoid the tyrant from blaming the entire Wall Street.

“You may have heard that I was attacked today.”

Jiang Chen seemed to read the worry of everyone present, he smiled, then continued, “The assassin and the perpetrator behind the scenes have been found, and our people are already on their way. So don’t worry, I’m not here because of that.”

Everyone was relieved and finally started to smile.

Before they attended the meeting, except for a few people like Otto Garcia who learned a little bit of news through their own channels, most of them were confused and were anxious about the reason behind the meeting.

Jiang Chen looked around, cleared his throat, and continued to speak.

“I’ve gathered everyone here today to talk to you about the future of this country…”

“Presumably everyone is well aware that Wall Street has suffered heavy losses in this war and the global economy is hurting. In order to accelerate the recovery of the global economy, we have decided to provide appropriate assistance to North American companies. Of course, we cannot help those who oppose us, for the long-term of our covenant, I have to say a few words of caution…”

It took about ten minutes. Jiang Chen concisely narrated to these people what he had said to Xia Shiyu, Loki and others. Almost as expected, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed from dazed to interested, and finally, after Jiang Chen promised out the benefits, they all breathed quickly, and their expression gradually turned into fanaticism.

“Back on the subject, I have prepared a contract for everyone, which involves a series of cooperation such as loans, post-war reconstruction, Global Power Grid in North America, a space elevator in the western hemisphere… etc.” At this point, Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then smiled, “Of course, if there is anyone here who disagrees, or needs to consider their choice, you can exit now and we can discuss it later.”

No one moved.

There was no need to think at all, and naturally, there was no objection.

The North American power tycoon that sat next to Otto Garcia breathed heavily and quickly to the point where people around him began to speculate if he was having a heart attack. From the people gathered here today, he was the only one operating a power company. If Celestial Trade decided to contract out the Global Power Grid for the entire North American region to him, he could quickly merge the competitors with the ultra-low operating costs and monopolize the entire country’s power grid in no more than ten years! He would become the true power tycoon!

As for Otto Garcia himself, the fact that he could obtain loans from Future Bank and stop Deutsche Bank’s acquisition would make him the savior in the eyes of the board of directors. As one of the largest banks in the world, the significance was self-evident.

Jiang Chen looked at the expressions on the faces of everyone present with satisfaction. He then gestured to the assistant next to him and asked him to distribute the agreements. The second step to rule North America was now completed. From today onwards, everyone here was the “Congress” of Wall Street. Every “Congressman” and every “Countrywoman” was firmly tied to Celestial Trade and Future Group.
