"You know this, too?"

Rick looked at Evan suspiciously.

Evan knew the movements of Bank of America, and Rick didn't find it strange. After all, he had a bank in his hand, so he would naturally pay attention to the movements in the banking circle. But whether there is a deep meaning behind the movements... it is not so simple to determine.

He knew that someone was planning the matter behind the scenes, and that he was blessed with the skeleton ring.

But…how did Evan determine?

Did his father remind him?

This is possible, after all, at the root of the root, Governor Earle has the closest relationship with the San Francisco consortium.

The first loan Evan received was approved by Wells Fargo, a San Francisco-based bank.

Rick's guess is naturally wrong, but he did not ask Evan, so he had no idea that this was actually provided by Evan's own information channel.

After confirming that Evan's answer was the same as himself, Rick said: "Since you know, what do you think about this?"

"What do you think? Of course, I'm standing by and watching." Evan looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs and hung up high.

Rick smiled and said, "Evan, don't joke at this time."

"I'm not kidding!"

Evan said seriously: "Rick, from any aspect, I can only stand aside."

"You and I know exactly what Rockefeller and Morgan's two surnames represent in the United States."

Rick paused when he heard this, and he seemed to notice something from Evan's attitude.

What is that, it seems unwilling to accept it?

Rick was not sure, but since Evan was not interested in continuing to talk about this topic, he consciously shut up.

After more than ten minutes, the three of them finished their meal.

Because there was a guest, Audrey did not ask Evan to help clean up, but asked him to accompany the guest.

"You go to the living room to have tea and chat, I'll just come here."

Evan has the habit of drinking tea, whether it is Western black tea brewing or Chinese brewing.

"A few days ago, Mr. Qian gave me a set of purple clay tea sets. Let's use it today. Have you ever drunk oolong tea?"

"Oolong tea? What kind of tea is this? Is it Chinese?" Rick knew Evan's hobby and waved his hand and said, "You decide what tea you drink, don't care about me."

"Yes." Evan walked to the shelf next to the TV cabinet and took a can of tea from above, explaining: "Oolong tea is a kind of green tea, originated in Fujian, China. The tea it brews is golden and bright like amber, with a natural orchid fragrance, and a mellow and sweet taste. You can try it."

As he said that, Evan took out the tea set, asked Audrey to come and boil water, and skillfully brewed it.

Although Evan likes to drink tea, his brewing technique is a wild way and he is not professional as a person who is well versed in tea ceremony. Fortunately, Rick is also an amateur.

Not long after, a cup of golden oolong tea was sent to Rick, and the heat was steaming.

Rick picked up the teacup, paid for it, then frowned, without commenting.

But obviously, Rick doesn't like the taste of oolong tea very much.

Evan glanced at him, but didn't ask him what he thought.

Everyone has their own preferences for tea, so there is no need to force it.

Putting down the teacup, Rick remembered the moment on the dining table. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Evan and asked, "Evan, do you really don't want to do anything about Bank of America?"

Evan slapped, his hands shook slightly, and a little tea was overflowing from the teacup on his hand.

Seeing this, Rick was even more sure that he had nothing wrong with his feelings.

"Evan, if you don't say it, I know you will definitely not be willing to watch from the side, but you realize that the gap in strength is too big, so you have to do so."

"This choice is normal, I understand."

"But if I say I want to try to get involved, are you interested in listening to my plan?"

"Hmm?" Evan put down the purple clay teacup, looked at Rick, squinted his eyes, hesitating.

listen?

Or don't listen?

Half an hour later, Rick left.

He looked relaxed when he left.

The next day, Evan did not go to work in Ingwood, but called Carl and went to the office of Peter Cohen, the president of the National Bank.

Not long after, Rick arrived.

The four of them negotiated in the office for a whole day.

The content of the negotiation is naturally related to the plan proposed by Rick.

After a long and careful consultation, Carl and Peter Cohen finally agreed to the feasibility of the plan.

So Evan finally decided: "Since that's the case, Rick, just do what you said."

"Anyway, even if this plan fails, we won't suffer much loss. If it succeeds..."

"Hopefully it will succeed..."

Evan's voice suddenly lowered when he said this, looking like he was completely confident.

Rick patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, don't have a failed expression before you even started."

"Didn't I say that this is an opportunity and must not be missed."

"Just watch it, I'm confident that I can do it..."

...

After that, the plan began to be implemented step by step.

The Citizen National Bank, chaired by Peter Cohen, suddenly enriched its capital.

California Federal Bank began secretly contacting representatives of Chase National Bank.

Before we knew it, there were a few more buyers chasing Bank of America stocks.

On December 16, Claire Janini Hoffman, who is in Los Angeles, held a dinner to contact experts in the Los Angeles area.

Invited people are spread across all walks of life, but the banking and military industry account for the largest proportion.

Howard Hughes also received an invitation, but unfortunately he was unable to attend due to his illness.

On the same day, Evan also appeared at the dinner as Peter Cohen's assistant.

On Sunday, December 18, Evan presided over the annual meeting of the Alphabet Group and announced the reorganization decision to establish the Alphabet Council.

The board of directors include Jason Davidson of Magic Seven, Joe Wells of Applied Physics Systems, Joe Gillard of Applied Health, Carl Patton of Applied Health, Andy Vadak of ASCHD, Chester Carlson of Xerox, Peter Cohen of Citizen National Bank, and Linda Sproul, the Chief Secretary-General and Leader of Laplace Group, around Evan.

Evan himself was stopped, and there were nine people in total.

These nine people are the regular directors. In addition, there are four alternate directors, Rona Anderson of Magic Seven, Lee Bailey of Applied Physics Systems, Lewis Walker of Applied Health, and Cliff Cape of ASCHS.

All industries under Evan are included in the Council, with one company being the exception.

That's McDonald's.
