His hair was as white as snow, his head was cracked like an old tree bark, and his deep eyes looked at his old son in disappointment but still couldn't see his mature eldest son.

Giannini is the founder of the American Bank Consortium.

In 1904, he came to San Francisco to start an Italian bank. The San Francisco earthquake in 1906 made his bank rise rapidly because only his bank could provide services normally.

In 1909, California legislation allowed banks to open branches, and Gianni's Italian Bank quickly followed and opened its first branch in San Jose that year. In less than twenty years since, the Italian Bank became a large bank with hundreds of branches.

California has two major centers, North San Francisco and South Los Angeles. The Italian Bank's base is in San Francisco, but in order to allow his own power to cover the entire California state, Gianni began to invest in banks in Los Angeles. His target was the Bank of America, founded by Monnet. In 1929, the Italian Bank merged with the Bank of America, and the merged name was the current Bank of America.

Monnet has a huge influence in the freshman Bank of America, but the ultimate winner is Jainini.

Jainini and his control Bank of America had more than just financial resources. He supported California's wine industry and was a Hollywood funder. Walt Disney's first animated feature film, Snow White, was produced with the support of Jainini. During the Great Depression, Jainini bought bonds for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. During World War II, he invested heavily in many industrial enterprises serving the war, including industrialist Caesar's shipyard, steel company, and a number of aircraft companies in Los Angeles.

It is also this series of investments that have formed a consortium with Bank of America as its core and its strength cannot be underestimated.

From a small person to the controller of a small consortium today, Gianni can definitely be regarded as a representative figure of the American Dream. However, even success is like him, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects, such as the education of future generations.

Gianni has three children, the eldest son Mario is rough, the second son Virgil is not interested in the banking career, and the younger daughter Claire has been with him for a long time and is capable enough, but she has a bad temper.

In short, in Giannini's opinion, none of these three people was enough to take over his shift.

As for the grandchildren who have not yet grown up, they can't count on them.

As he gets older, Jainini is also increasingly worried. What will happen if he dies, these children and the Bank of America, which he regards as children?

It is certain that the American Bank has left the mastery, and the wealth accumulated should not be so easy to consume.

Earl Warren is not a simple person, and it may not be impossible to get closer to politics. This time he sells his face, and hopes to get something reward one day in the future.

It’s just a small bank. Not to mention just withdrawing from the bidding, it’s no big deal to let Bank of America take over at a premium in the future.

In Giannini's opinion, it would be great if things really developed as he thought.

You know, Earl Warren would not have been involved in this kind of thing in the past.

Only with transactions can there be friendship.

"Oh!" Thinking of this, Gianni suddenly sighed: "It's not easy to be a father!"

...

The first day of November, Saturday, morning.

Pasadena, California Polytechnic Stadium.

Evan and Audrey came to the audience beside the stadium, where students from sports clubs were training.

Bob and several other employees of the ASCHUN Company stood aside from afar.

Audrey was sitting directly on the concrete floor in jeans, and Evan stood beside her, chatting with a middle-aged man.

The man was Albert Barton, who had not seen for a while.

The infringement case Albert was responsible for basically would not have much variables. With the New York court's case in front of it, those illegal manufacturers had no choice but to admit their fate and admit defeat.

Chicago, the strongest local power, bowed his head, let alone other places.

Albert believed that it would not take long before the Magic Seven Company would receive the corresponding compensation.

This is also the reason why Albert dared to take off his hands and return to California.

After a while, Carl also came to the stadium. He first greeted his father, and then briefly reported to Evan the internal business review of the Citizen State Bank.

The reason why Citizen National Bank was on the verge of bankruptcy that Evan picked up a bargain was because it made a big mistake in a loan business and suffered huge losses. Now that the bank has changed its controller, Evan naturally does not want to repeat the same mistake, so the first thing after the acquisition was to let Carl conduct an internal review.

Not only that, Evan also asked Carl to undergo a major change in the bank's management and poached replacement elite executives from the well-related Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

It was not a pleasant thing to poach people from peers, but this time neither bank said anything.

What's more, Carl's salary is not low, so people can't stop him from wanting to change jobs.

Such a big change naturally caused chaos among citizens' National Bank for a period of time. Many depositors who have received the news were worried about problems in the bank and wanted to raise their deposits. In order to appease depositors and prevent the emergence of squeezing, the newly appointed bank president has worked at Bank of America for more than ten years. Peter Cohen, who has experienced, has been the first bank to visit these days. He has put a lot of effort to dispel depositors' concerns and allow the bank to continue operating.

Of course, this is also thanks to no one taking the blame.

The specific work of the review was done by Peter Cohen, and Carl just read the script. Judging from the results, it seems that there is no big problem.

After listening to the report, Evan refused to comment. His attention was not on Carl's report at all, but at the entrance of the stadium.

"Here you come!"

Bob, who was on alert, suddenly signaled.

Upon hearing this, Evan looked at Audrey's hand, then set out to walk towards the entrance. Audrey immediately stood up.

At this time, two black cars stopped at the entrance of the stadium and walked down a middle-aged couple.

As soon as he saw the two, Evan couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Because that couple is the governor's wife.

"Evan, long time no see! Well, it seems to have grown a little taller. So is Audrey, not seen for a while, and she is beautiful again!"

When Nina saw Evan and Audrey, she was filled with joy, hugging and kissing.

After Evan let Nina fiddled with her, he greeted her father Earl Warren: "Father, long time no see, you look in good health."

After Earl Warren looked up and down Evan, he looked at the entrance of California Tech across the street and said, "Your mother and I came here specially today, so let's take us to visit."
