David quickly received a satisfactory reply, and Wells Fargo agreed to his request. Although he didn't know how the other party was thinking, this was enough for David.

Although David is not a billionaire, he is also a rich man. Moreover, at his age, no matter how much money he has, it is not very useful to him. However, David has always insisted and worked hard on the No. 1 National Bank of America, a banking industry that once belonged to his family. David could not imagine that once he completely retired and left this bank, he would have hope for his future life.

This is also the reason why David insisted in the end. Although he knew very well that when the merger and acquisition were completed and the board of directors of the No. 1 National Bank of America was reorganized, he would step down from the position of chairman and leave the core level, and at most he would retain a seat on the board of directors. As for the so-called honorary chairman, these are all false names. David did not care. All he cared about was the future of the bank. He wanted to tell Wells Fargo in his own way, and stayed in this bank at the same time, watching where the bank created by his father and grandparents would eventually go.

David's compromise made the subsequent merger and acquisition work extremely smoothly. In just over a month, some directors and shareholders lost under the money waving by the acquirer and sold or transferred the shares they owned. When the acquirer's shares reached 6, the merger and acquisition had been completely completed, and the Bucks family, who had been in charge of the No. 1 National Bank for nearly 150 years, also handed over the rights.

"Tomorrow will be the new board of directors, right?" David asked quietly while sitting in his office, looking at the familiar surroundings, stroked the desk.

"Yes, sir, the notice has been issued to the bank and senior staff will also attend." Miss Doris, holding the folder in her usual tone, replied in her usual tone.

"I can't bear to leave it for more than three years..." David couldn't help but sigh and smiled at Miss Doris, "I still remember the day you came to apply for a secretary. When I stood in front of me and told me with great confidence that you were the most suitable candidate for this position. That day, you were wearing a blue skirt, with a silver brooch on your chest, and the expression on your face was very serious, and a little stubborn..."

"Thank you for remembering these." Although Miss Doris still answered in her tone, a soft look appeared in her eyes.

"It's been three years, I'm old, and you're not young anymore. You have done everything you promised in the past three years, but I haven't fulfilled my oath to take over this bank. Thank you, Taolis, thank you for accompanying me for so many days. Not long ago, I was thinking that we might be able to cooperate until the day of retirement, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Sorry, Taolis..." David looked at Miss Taolis with a smile, took her hand and patted her gently. This was intimacy with the most trusted work partner and good friends around him. Miss Taolis, who accompanied him through so many years and storms, was the closest person besides his wife Anna.

Gently pulling his hand out of David's palm, Miss Doris hesitated a little, and then hugged David in a way she had never had before.

"I should say thank you for your trust for so many years. David, you are a good boss and a friend worth dating. Retirement is the life I have long thought about. We can abandon these difficult and endless work and enjoy them easily. If you want, can I invite you and Anna to travel to Europe? You know, I have always longed to go to Europe to see those ancient castles."

"Of course," David smiled happily, "Maybe we can go skiing, I heard that the ski resort in Austria is good."

"What a good idea." Miss Doris smiled and nodded, then raised her hand to signal the folder in her hand: "But David, we have to continue working before we want to enjoy life. We have the right to enjoy it only after we have completed these, right?"

David immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

The next morning, the new board of directors of National Bank No. 1, was officially held. On that day, David wore his best suit and wore a dark red tie. He was dressed up in high spirits, and he could not tell at all that he was about to leave the chairman position. Moreover, he came to the bank early as usual. When he walked into the bank gate, he chatted with the black security guard named Ruka for a few words about the game. Finally, he patted the other party on the shoulders like an old friend before entering the elevator.

The board of directors started at around 9:00 a.m. and around 8:40 a.m. David walked into the conference room early and sat on the chair he had always sat on. However, unlike before, there was another chair next to his chair today, which would be a ceremony for the handover of the new and old chairman. When he sat down, he looked at the people who were basically here and their familiar faces, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

Since some directors and shareholders of the former board of directors have sold or transferred their shares, the board of directors has now vacated several chairs. In addition, today's meeting is important, so senior staff inside the bank also attended the meeting, but they sit slightly closer to the outer circle, waiting for the upcoming trusted chairman with a nervous mood.

"David, who will the Rich Fargo send as the new chairman?" Unlike Johnny, who wanted to sell his shares earlier, Leo has always been on David's side, and he has also adhered to his promise and did not sell the shares to Rich Fargo. Despite this, it is still impossible to stop Wells Fargo's merger and acquisition, but Leo's move and silent support have always made David sincerely grateful.

Johnny and others left the board of directors. Leo happened to sit not far from David today. He asked quietly before the other party arrived.

David shook his head slightly, and he could not answer this question, because he still didn't know who the new chairman was. However, according to his guess, maybe it was someone who carried out the merger and acquisition this time, or the executive from Fuguo served as a part-time position.

Time passed quickly, and more than ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Just as nine o'clock approached, a sound of footsteps came from outside the corridor. Everyone in the conference room immediately turned their eyes to the direction of the door, waiting for the other party's arrival with a complicated mood.

The door opened quickly. David, who first walked into the conference room, was very familiar with him. This was Mikes, the senior director of Wells Fargo's finance department. As a senior executive of Wells Fargo, few people in the banking industry did not know about Mikes. Of course, David knew him. Seeing Mikes' appearance, David was slightly stunned at first, and then quickly stood up. He never expected Mikes to come here. Could it be that Mikes was the new chairman of National Bank No. 1?

But David was a little confused about the following scene, because after entering the door, Mikes nodded to himself with a smile, and then quickly turned his body to the side, revealing a young man behind him. When he saw this young man, David was a little confused because the other party was almost a stranger and a Chinese.

"Welcome, Mr. Mikes." David didn't think much, and stepped forward and shook hands with the other party, saying, "I didn't expect Wells Fargo to send you here, but Mr. Mikes, are you the chairman? With your position at Wells Fargo, it's a bit unbelievable to take up this position directly."

Mikes shook hands with David with a smile, shook his head and said, "Of course not. If the headquarters made such a choice, maybe I should submit my resignation report." Mikes said something a little bit despised the way National Bank No. 1, but no one in the conference room said this from his mouth. Because this is true, as a senior director of the finance department of Wells Fargo, Mikes was so powerful that he was very powerful and held the domination of hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth. In such a position and power, he was delegated to a small bank to serve as chairman. Isn't this obviously "exiled"? By then, it would be strange if Mikes didn't submit his resignation.

"Then are you..." David wondered.

Mikes smiled and reached out to the young man standing behind him, "I am here with me today, Mr. Buck, this is your new chairman."

"He?" David said with a little shocked look on his face. Looking at the young Chinese, David never expected that this person would be the new chairman of the No. 1 National Bank of America. Could it be that this young man was a key member of Wells Fargo? If not, how could Mikes accompany the other party in person as high as he is? He seemed to be very respectful to the other party.

Just when David was puzzled, Miss Doris had already recognized who the person was, and quickly reminded David softly in his ear.

"Bavc Zhou?" David was stunned again. He suddenly realized that no wonder he felt familiar when he looked at the other person's face. It turned out that the other person was the famous Bavc Zhou. But it was no wonder that as the chairman of Or Company, a shareholder of Wells Fargo and Cisco, and now the richest man in the world, Zhou Liwen is very famous. However, Zhou Liwen rarely appears in the financial and banking industry, so it is normal for David to not recognize the other person at the beginning.

But how could Zhou Liwen come to serve as the chairman of the No. 1 National Bank of America? This question puzzled David. You should know that Zhou Liwen is the top billionaire and a billionaire. Although he is a shareholder of Wells Fargo, he has never held any position at Wells Fargo. However, Mikes introduced himself to him that Zhou Liwen was the one who replaced the chairman. This answer is a bit puzzling. Could it be that this young rich man ran to be the chairman on a whim? But it doesn't look like it.

Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, David was still very polite and shook hands with Zhou Liwen with three-point enthusiasm. Then, Zhou Liwen sat down on the chair beside David, then nodded to Mikes, Mikes smiled and asked someone to put a folder in front of Zhou Liwen, then said hello to David and left.

Mikes stayed for less than five minutes before leaving. Zhou Liwen stayed, and there were two followers who looked like professionals. I don’t know whether they were lawyers or accountants. They sat down separately in the two empty seats on the left side of the conference room.

David was confused, but the board of directors still had to go. After everyone sat down, he cleared his throat and began to announce the changes to the National Bank of America, and clearly stated that due to Wells Fargo's merger and acquisition, he would resign as chairman today, so that Mr. Zhou, appointed by Wells Fargo, would replace the chairman.

Everyone present was prepared for this announcement, so no one showed any surprise expression. However, Zhou Liwen's appearance also aroused the curiosity of many people. Some people secretly speculated how Zhou Liwen, as a wealthy rich man in the IT electronics industry, would have come to serve as the chairman of the No. 1 National Bank of America? This question is as puzzled as David thought.

When David finished speaking and raised his hand to signal Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen nodded slightly to him politely, then glanced at the conference room with a smile, and then said, "I am Bavc Zhou. Maybe many of the people present know me. Yes, I am the guy who is temporarily number one on the wealth list. But don't worry, what is the wealth list? I think everyone is a professional in the banking industry and knows the tricks they play, so they don't have to be real. To put it simply, you can regard me as a Chinese boy with some strength and good luck. Look, the richest man is no different from ordinary people. They both have one head and one mouth, and they don't have three eyes."

Zhou Liwen's playful words immediately made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became much more relaxed. Some people even think that Zhou Liwen should be a very good boss, and she is not as serious as ordinary Chinese. At least working under such bosses can make people feel much more relaxed.

After everyone's laughter was a little behind, Zhou Liwen smiled and said, "I know that I'm here today. Many people, including Mr. David, were a little surprised. Perhaps there were still many people who thought in their hearts, 'Oh, I know, isn't this lucky guy who made money by selling mobile phones? How could such a guy come to run a bank? Is he so idle that he's causing trouble for everyone?"

Suddenly, many people burst into laughter again, of course they were all kind-hearted, because Zhou Liwen's words did express what everyone was thinking.

Zhou Liwen shrugged his shoulders while spreading his hands and said with a smile: "Look, this is a misunderstanding that everyone doesn't understand. In fact, I and everyone are all walking together, but few people know about it."

"Bavc, are you referring to your shares in Fuguo?" Leo asked with a smile.

"No, no, no." Unexpectedly, Zhou Liwen shook his head and corrected: "Yes, many people present knew that I own Wells Fargo shares and are also one of their independent directors. However, unlike what I said just now, I actually owned my own bank long before Wells Fargo. Of course, this bank is not in the United States, but in China."

Everyone then suddenly realized that if this is the case, it would be normal for Zhou Liwen to serve as the chairman of the No. 1 National Bank of America. Although the bank he owns is not Bank of America, but a Chinese bank, it is at least considered an insider. As an insider, it is natural for him to be accepted by the same industry. No wonder he can own Wells Fargo shares. It seems that it is not like the official information announced by the listing of Or stocks. Wells Fargo can cross-exchange shares with Zhou Liwen. There should be no reason for Or, but it may be that

I am afraid that this aspect is still considered. You should know that with the development of China's economy over the years, many American banks have tried to join forces with Chinese banks. Wells Fargo, the world's number one, will certainly not give up this opportunity. As for the situation of the Chinese bank he owns, everyone doesn't care too much about it. The Americans' pride is in the bones. Even a small bank like the No. 1 National Bank of America, most people only think that the Chinese banks mentioned by Zhou Liwen are only about the same size as theirs, or even smaller.

As for these, Zhou Liwen did not explain the situation of Shanghai Bank, because there is no need for this for the time being. Not to mention that Shanghai Bank has reached a huge scale of more than US$40 billion, which is enough to occupy a place among the large U.S. banks, just talking about the Alipay and Yu'ebao output value that Zhou Liwen has in his hands and the trial Yu'ebao output value, this project alone can match the total assets of several US No. 1 National Bank.

Seeing everyone showing happy expressions, Zhou Liwen continued to smile and threw out a situation that surprised everyone. He only heard him say: "Before the official meeting, I want to correct one of Mr. Buck's statements just now, that is, Wells Fargo's acquisition of the No. 1 National Bank. In fact, the real answer should be my acquisition of the No. 1 National Bank of America. Although the executor is indeed Wells Fargo, it is me who really holds absolute control over the real controlling stake, so this is also the main reason why Mr. Mikes left just now. He is just representing Wells Fargo to perform this handover task."

As soon as Zhou Liwen finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened in shock, especially David, who was former chairman, looked at Zhou Liwen in disbelief. He frowned deeply because he never expected that Wells Fargo's merger would actually help Zhou Liwen. The real person behind the scenes was not Wells Fargo's headquarters, but the young billionaire sitting in front of him.

Although Zhou Liwen just told everyone that he also owns a bank, but owns a bank is completely different from Wells Fargo's merger and acquisition. Moreover, Zhou Liwen owns a bank of China. David couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of this because he felt that he was deceived. If his bank was acquired by Wells Fargo, David could still tolerate it. After all, with the strength and scale of Wells Fargo, it is very beneficial to the No. 1 National Bank of America. This is David's insistence on maintaining his shares and seeing whether this bank can develop to the point he has always dreamed of. But now, all hopes have been shattered, and the efforts of his Buck family for several lifetimes have become a toy in the hands of the other party. A rich man who only owns a bank of China, even if he is the richest man in the world, but what about this? Is he capable of managing this bank? If the other party's actions push the bank into the abyss, how can he explain to his father and grandparents when he returns to heaven?
