Chapter 1499: The Second Step to Rule North America
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The mysterious “Iron Man” was actually Jiang Chen?
Soon after the attack on the streets of Nouveau York, the power armor that appeared from the back of the Luer sedan instant became the focus of attention to the media of North America and around the world; it seemed to even surpass the attack itself.
Although Celestial Trade and Nouveau York Police did block the news to some extent, there were still videos leaked out from the scene.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s image overlapped with Tony Stark in the Marvel Universe.
The two both possessed flying armors, and both were the owner of a large group, except that the former’s assets and the size of his company were slightly more astounding. At the same time, the T-3 power armor was a bit more realistic compared to the nuclear fusion core…
Many people could not accept the sudden change in his image, and there were also many fangirls who screamed frantically. As the president of Future Group and Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen himself has a lot of fans all over the world, especially concentrated on the West Coast of the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, Jiang Chen himself didn’t take this episode too seriously.
Because more important issues waited for him to deal with at this moment…
…
Empire State Building in Nouveau York.
At the same time Celestial Trade launched an attack on the rebel force, a secret meeting was held on the top floor of this building.
All the people on the list were invited to the meeting.
When Otto Garcia was in the hallway and on his way to the conference room, he had a confident smile on his face. His steps were also full of energy.
Earlier, he had already learned through the grapevine about Celestial Trade’s strategy in North America.
And now the fact that he was invited to the meeting has already explained a lot. Whether it was his status as the chairman of Chase Bank, or because his beautiful daughter increased his bargaining power, Celestial Trade now took him into consideration. He stood out and became one of the few lucky ones out of the hundreds of invitees from yesterday.
Backed by Future Bank, he would soon become one of the powerful people in Nouveau York after the war.
Greeted by the waiter, Otto Garcia passed through the antique mahogany door and arrived at a red-carpeted conference room.
When he got in the conference room, a dozen people was already here.
When he saw the familiar faces, he nodded and smiled at the people who he had met once before. However, he couldn’t help but feel surprised. There were many here with more powerful backgrounds, such as a power giant that almost controlled the entire North American power grid, a real estate tycoon with hundreds of billions of assets, and an internationally renowned financial mogul…
Otto roughly counted the number of empty seats and estimated that about twenty-five people were invited.
He took down the names of these people in his mind, then made up his mind that he would form a good relationship with these people after the meeting. With the support of the Future Group, they would become the most powerful people in North America. They would replace the old forces on Wall Street and become the new ruler of this land.
Otto sat down and he didn’t have to wait for long before all the participants arrived. Just five minutes before the start of the meeting, the mahogany door opened again. This time, the people in the room all stopped their chatter and focused their attention at the door.
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.
