Hua Xia, Yanjing. Xiao Yunhai put down his phone and said to Zhao Wanqing, "Looks like I have to go to Merrica."
Zhao Wanqing was stunned and said, "Just because of this?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Wesley is a smart young man. It's a pity that he's too petty. I didn't take him seriously at all. Elvis is an old fool. If he really hands the Bessie family over to Wesley, it will be over in a few years. "
Xiao Yunhai paused and sighed. "The reason I'm going is to have a good talk with Lyle. We've already agreed to use 10% of the profits in exchange for the Federal Reserve's support. But now our Barkel Bank is being ostracized by so many other banks. Lyle doesn't seem to agree. Zhao Guangting has been there for many days, but there's no result. "
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Are they trying to take advantage of the situation?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Looks like it."
Zhao Wanqing said, "The People's Bank of Hua Xia has no way to solve it?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "The reason they're working together is because they're worried that I'm from the People's Bank of Hua Xia. If they show up, the problem will only be bigger. Lyle is right about one thing. The People's Bank of Hua Xia is the leader in Asia, but it's still lacking in Europe and America. Damn, I thought that Barkel Bank could soar. I didn't expect to pay such a huge price and end up half-dead. It's really frustrating. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "The Bessie family can become one of the two big families in Merrica. It's not surprising that they have such ability. Hubby, go ahead. Come back early. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded.
At nine o 'clock in the morning in Merrica, Xiao Yunhai's plane slowly landed at Washington Airport.
The weather was good today. The wind was gentle and the sun was bright. The warm sunlight shone on people's bodies and it was very comfortable.
In the car, Zhao Guangting reported the situation to Mr. Xiao.
After listening, Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "These people have no sincerity to negotiate at all. What's the situation with Barker Bank? "
Zhao Guangting's expression was grave as he said, "If this continues, the share price of Barkel Bank will be even lower than before in less than two days. The remaining five or six shareholders have already called me. If we can't stop the decline as soon as possible, they will immediately sell their shares. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then let them sell it. I still want to buy it back. Where are we going? "
Zhao Guangting replied, "The Federal Reserve Headquarters."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head. "There's no need. Go straight to the White House. I want to see President Lyle."
Zhao Guangting said, "Alright."
When they arrived at the White House, Lyle's secretary, Al, heard Xiao Yunhai's arrival and immediately trotted out to greet him.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Ai Er said as he shook hands with Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's my fault this time. I didn't make an appointment in advance. I wonder if Mr. President has time to see me? "
Ai Er said with a troubled expression, "Mr. Xiao, Mr. President has already gone to Hawaii to inspect the military."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What about Chief Judge Simon?"
Ai Er smiled bitterly and said, "He also went."
Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What a coincidence. Alright, I got it. "
Ai Er said, "Mr. Xiao, don't you want to go in for a cup of coffee?"
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "No, I have something else to do. I still have things to do. I will visit again when Mr. President returns. "
After getting into the car, Xiao Yunhai closed his eyes and said, "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. There are far more people who kick a man when he's down than people who send him charcoal in the snow. "
Zhao Guangting said, "Mr. Xiao, do you want to call President Lyle directly?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "No. I'm not so thick-skinned as to beg him. Since the Federal Reserve doesn't agree, how much do they want? "
Zhao Guangting said, "Fifty percent."
Xiao Yunhai was immediately amused and said, "They're really asking for too much. Then I might as well just give Barkel to them."
Zhao Guangting said, "I heard that Citibank and Steyr Networks are holding a press conference in New York today. It's very likely to be about banking and the Internet."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "When?"
Zhao Guangting looked at his watch and said, "It's been half an hour."
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunhai's cell phone rang. It was Wen Yanhong.
"President Wen, what's the matter?"
Wen Yanhong said anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, it's not good. Steyr Networks just held a press conference. They've developed a new mobile payment system. All the major banks in Europe and America are participating. They said that they will support this system, and the processing fee is only five percent. "
The most important feature of Xiao Yunhai's Internet company was the mobile payment system. The Bessie family obviously wanted to compete with him in this aspect, and they chose a very good time to do so.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Will our Xiaomi phones support it?"
Wen Yanhong said, "As long as it's using the all-purpose system, it won't be a problem."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "We've really shot ourselves in the foot."
The current smartphone market was all using the all-purpose system. Everyone had already paid the patent fees. It was impossible to get a gold shield from the patent fees.
Wen Yanhong asked, "Mr. Xiao, what should we do?"
Xiao Yunhai did not even think about it and said, "Lower the price. I don't want their gold shield to rise. In the future, other than the one percent fee for cash withdrawal from the phone, there won't be a processing fee for other payments. "
Wen Yanhong said anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, if that's the case, our losses will be too great."
Xiao Yunhai said, "We can't catch the wolf without risking the child. Once the Gold Shield payment system becomes popular, we'll lose our market share. That's the scariest thing. Do as I say. Let the technical department finish it as soon as possible. We'll start tomorrow. "
Wen Yanhong said, "Okay."
In the afternoon, Wen Yanhong organized a press conference.
When she announced that the processing fee would be waived, the reporters present went crazy.
"CEO Wen, did you make this decision to go against Gold Shield?"
Wen Yanhong smiled and said, "We're not targeting third parties. Mr. Xiao thinks that the mobile payment system should not only be used to make money, but also to make people's lives more convenient. Previously, the processing fee was to make up for the development of the system. Now that we've earned it back, there's no need to continue charging. "
"CEO Wen, Citibank and dozens of other banks jointly developed the Gold Shield payment system. How do you think it will affect you?"
Wen Yanhong said, "We've never thought of monopolizing the entire market. Whether it's Gold Shield or Silver Shield, it's all for the sake of people's lives. As for the impact, as long as we do a good job and get the users' favor, I don't think the impact will be too great. "
"CEO Wen, is this Mr. Xiao's decision? You have to know that this is related to hundreds of billions of wealth every year. "
Wen Yanhong said, "What I admire the most is Mr. Xiao's attitude toward money. Although he's the richest man in the world, he's never been dominated by money. Mr. Xiao donated more than 100 billion yuan to the Hua Xia Wenhe earthquake. You can see what kind of person he is. Losing hundreds of billions or trillions might be unacceptable to others, but to Mr. Xiao, it's just a normal thing. "
"In the past few days, the market value of Barkel Bank has plummeted. What do you think about this?"
Wen Yanhong smiled and said, "The stock price has indeed fallen a lot, but Barkel Bank hasn't suffered much loss. We still have 17 million tons of gold in our vault and trillions of yuan in capital. I hope that everyone can trust Barkel Bank more. Alright, that's all for the press conference. Goodbye. "
