Rebirth of the Evil Life

[Monster Bar] Chapter 3616 Establishing Power [Text Version]

"Bastard! Bastard! Lin Feng, if you dare to play tricks on me, I will never end it with you!" William Rhodes hurried back to Citibank with anger, preparing to summon a few confidants to discuss how to deal with Lin Feng.

As the world's largest bank, Citibank mainly deals in financial management, savings, and investment products, which seems to have nothing to do with Lin Feng's industry. However, due to its particularity, banks are inextricably linked to all walks of life. Including Lin Feng’s ‘Second Consortium’. Although Lin Feng's "Second Consortium" owns the "Second Bank" and has its own financing bank, and as the scale of the "Second Bank" expands, its funds are also increasing, making the "Second Consortium" All companies can finance through the 'Second Bank', forming an internal circular chain to avoid being taken advantage of by other banks.

However, although the companies under the 'Second Consortium' are not able to get in, the companies they cooperate with are different. Most of these companies cooperate with major banks in the world, and many of them have direct or indirect business dealings with Citibank. It's not that difficult to straighten up Lin Feng. For example, if the dealers who directly supply the companies of Lam Fung's consortium lose their funds, this can give Lam Fung a slap in the back.

Just as Rhodes and several confidants were discussing how to slap Lin Feng in the back so that he could not eat and walk around, Rhodes received a call from the board of directors and asked him to go to the board of directors for a meeting.

Meeting? What meeting will be held at this time? Rhodes looked confused. He is the president of Citibank, so he naturally knows when to hold meetings every week. There is no meeting today, so why are there suddenly multiple meetings? With doubts, I arrived at the conference room. Looking at the lineup in the conference room, almost all shareholders were present, and all of them looked unhappy.

"Rhodes, we just received a complaint letter from Lin Feng. He accused you of maliciously insulting the president of 'Second World', Ms. Erika Kazama, and wantonly teasing his legal adviser, Miss Elle Woods. ! And ask you to apologize in public." Citibank Chairman William Rhodes handed the complaint letter he just received.

"What! He complained about me? You want me to apologize in public?" Rhodes looked angry. However, facing all the shareholders, he still suppressed his anger. After carefully reading the complaint letter, veins bulged on his forehead.

"Mr. Rhodes. You must believe me. This is absolutely slander. It is Lin Feng's slander against me and his contempt for our bank!" Rhodes suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted.

"Mr. Rhodes, the problem now is that Lin Feng has informed us that he will cancel all advertising contracts of our bank in the 'Second World' without any compensation. The reason is that you maliciously insulted the president of his company. . At the same time, Lin Feng will announce the penalty decision directly to the public. Rhodes, you have made us very passive!" William Rhodes frowned and said, "Our company's stock price has begun to fall due to this news in the market."

What! He also announced it to the public! Damn it, how could he do this! Rhodes looked furious. Lin Feng's move was so despicable. He actually announced it to the outside world. Wasn't this unfair to Citibank? This is too despicable.

"Also. What's going on about you teasing his legal advisor? Now not only Lin Feng has complained to us, but Ron Law Firm is also questioning why we teased their lawyers. Rhodes, you have to understand. , although there are countless law firms in the United States, Ron Law Firm is the best among them, and has good relationships with many high-level government officials and wealthy people. We are not afraid of offending Lin Feng, but with Lawyer Ron. The relationship in the office is not harmonious, but it is very irrational," Chairman Rhodes said with a frown.

Although the entire United States knows that Ron Law Firm has a good relationship with Lin Feng, and it is also known that Lin Feng is one of the investors of Ron Law Firm. But this does not prevent all walks of life in the United States from cooperating with Ron Law Firm. After all, Ron Law Firm is the best team of lawyers in the United States and the most professional team of lawyers. If you don’t cooperate with them, who will you cooperate with? And now Rowan Law Firm has written a letter to strongly protest Rhodes and tease their lawyers. If this spreads out, it will be very troublesome.

"Chairman, this matter has been caused by Lin Feng spreading rumors and teasing me from the beginning to the end. I originally wanted to invite Ellie to be the legal advisor for the trillion-dollar fund jointly launched by our bank and Bank of America. , but he was fooled by Lin Feng." Rhodes told the whole story. Of course, he would not say anything that was not good for him. He would just put all the blame on Lin Feng, believing that Lin Feng was the one who was causing trouble, cheating, and blackmailing himself.

William Rhodes was extremely angry when he heard this. Although he also knew that there must be some laxness and untruthfulness in Rhodes' words. After all, this person always avoids disasters and seeks good fortunes. When people explain themselves, most of them will say some words that are beneficial to themselves. This is understandable. He can Understand, of course he also believes in Rhodes. Compared to Lin Feng, he definitely believed in Rhodes.

What's more, even if you don't believe Rhodes, Lin Feng's liquidated damages of 5 billion US dollars is just a naked tease. There are no such high liquidated damages in this world. Of course, except for some large commercial contracts, it is not surprising that liquidated damages of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars are not surprising. But this is a personnel contract. If you sign an employee, your liquidated damages will be US$5 billion. Isn’t this outrageous? Even for the most profitable companies in the world and the most popular managers, such as the chief investment manager of Goldman Sachs, the liquidated damages will not exceed US$100 million. Ellie, such a rising star in the lawyer world, although she has made a name for herself, is not worth the price.

Moreover, even if Ai Li signs a contract with Lin Feng, it is impossible for him to sign such a high liquidated damages. This is illogical! The illogical thing just shows that Lin Feng is playing tricks. With Lin Feng's nature, Rhodes believed that Lin Feng would definitely be able to tease Rhodes. After all, this guy can get the President of the United States to go to court, let alone tease the President of Citibank.

"Rhodes, don't worry, our board of directors supports you. Regarding this matter, we will give an explanation to the outside world, and we will ask Lin Feng to give you an explanation!" William Rhodes said coldly.

Lin Feng was used to being arrogant, so he didn't care. But it's not okay to arrogantly attack Citibank. Citibank, the world's largest bank, was born in the last century. How can it allow Lin Feng to tarnish its centuries-old dignity?

At this time, the outside world was agitated about Lin Feng's withdrawal of Citibank's advertisement, criticism, and demand for Citibank President Rhodes to apologize in public. You know, Lin Feng has just finished his lawsuit with the US government, and now he is in trouble with Citibank. This guy is really capable of trouble.

Of course, to the people outside watching the excitement, this is purely a toss-up. But for the advertisers who were preparing to participate in the auction this time, they were silent. Lin Feng is trying to establish his authority by squaring off with Citibank this time.

Why establish authority? The first is to establish the power of his hand-picked president of the ‘Second World’, Erika Kazama. Although we are in the 21st century, the status of women is still not very high. At least in all walks of life, women are still a disadvantaged group. As the most popular IT company in the world today, it is somewhat unconvincing that a woman is in charge. With advertisers from all over the world gathering this time, it is natural that some will look down on Erika Kazama and even provoke her. Among them, Rhodes is the most 'jumping' one. Of course, this is also related to Citibank’s long-standing culture of ‘employee discrimination’ and ‘sexism’. This kind of thing happens all the time at Citibank. Some employees even hit the company. However, due to the strength of Citibank, it eventually came to nothing.

Now, Lin Feng is using Rhodes to establish his authority and tell everyone not to look down on his appointed "Second World" CEO. This is to warn the world and help Kazama Erisa establish her power.

Of course, the second thing that establishes prestige is this advertising auction. Many advertisers have no objections to this advertising auction. It is very novel. This can actually increase exposure, which is equivalent to increasing their brand exposure invisibly. It's just that what's going on with your live video broadcast? There's no point in live video broadcasting of auctions. This has never happened. It makes them feel like monkeys. They don't want to be monkeys. Among them, the one who resisted the most was Rhodes. As a result, Rhodes was complained by Lin Feng, and Citibank was directly withdrawn from all advertising, and was also blocked from advertising in the 'Second World' for the next ten years. This really scares many advertising companies.

Of course, they can also unite to resist the 'Second World', but the current situation is that with China's economic growth, Chinese corporate brands are gradually beginning to go abroad, and they want to become global multinational companies. And ‘Second World’ is currently the best game company in the world, with registered game members in every continent and every corner of the family. They boycott and refuse to publish advertisements, but Chinese companies will not refuse. With Lam Feng’s popularity and status in China, I believe no Chinese company will refuse.

Therefore, they, the advertisers, have no retreat. Especially after severely punishing Citibank, they had no choice but to compromise and surrender. The auction video is broadcast live, then broadcast it live! Of course, these advertisers are also planning to film people going to the scene, and they are behind the scenes. However, Lin Feng required that people at the company's vice president level participate in the auction, strictly preventing any behind-the-scenes manipulation from happening. This left them helpless.

When many advertisers reluctantly accepted Lin Feng's request, Citibank finally began to fight back.
