Bai Ye smiled and pointed at Lan and said.

"is it?"

As soon as he saw Na Lan, he knew that Bai Ye was picking up girls again. After all, Bai Ye's nickname of Seven Star Whore was well-known in the circle. He immediately came to Na Lan and said with concern:

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uh uh..."

Na Lan looked at the middle-aged man in a suit in confusion, then looked at Bai Ye:

"This police officer..."

"Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Brighton, and I'm the police commissioner of the New York City Police Department. If you need the police in New York, you can just call me."

Brighton handed Na Lan a business card.

Bai Ye leaned close to Na Lan's ear and said, "The Police Commissioner is the top leader of the New York City Police Department, and the Police Chief is the second in command."

Na Lan understood immediately.

After all, this is similar to the difference between the top leader and the second-in-command in China.

The fact is that Police Commissioner is the highest position in the NYPD, above even the Police Commissioner; however, the position of Commissioner is a civilian position appointed directly by the Mayor.

Gwen's father George is a military officer who has been on the front line, as you can tell when you see him holding a shotgun and shooting Dr. Lizard.

However, Na Lan pursed her lips but said nothing. She was not joking when she said she wanted to completely break up with Jin Cheng.

How could he possibly use Bai Ye's favor to excuse a scum like Jin Cheng?

After leaving the New York City Police Department, Na Lan couldn't help but ask:

"Bai Ye, who are you exactly? I felt something was wrong when you greeted those top basketball stars in the stadium. I didn't expect that the head of the New York City Police Department would be so respectful to you?"

At this point, no matter how dumb Lan was, she could tell that Bai Ye's identity was not simple. He was definitely not a businessman with a little money. Even if he was an ordinary American billionaire, his actual social status and influence should not be as great as that of this police commissioner. However, he was very respectful to Bai Ye and kept calling him "Young Master" with flattering titles... Has Bai Ye been pretending to be her?

"Haha, guess."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

As soon as the two walked out of the New York City Police Department, they were stopped by an old fat man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Ms. Lan, what's the situation now? Wasn't the young master released on bail? Why is he in jail again?"

Old Dong is an old brother who has worked with Jin Cheng's father, Jin Zhenbang, when the initial capital was being accumulated. He became the steward of the Jin family only after Jin Cheng's father, Jin Zhenbang, founded a real estate company with a market value of tens of billions. He is also the black glove who secretly helps the Jin family deal with dirty matters.

Na Lan said patiently, "Uncle Dong, the reason he was arrested the other time was because Jincheng went to another room and raped a waitress when he was in the hotel with me that night. The woman who showed up later was something Jincheng did when he was playing in New York. I don't know the details, you have to ask him. You also know that he has friends everywhere and he can get along with people wherever he goes."

——When people have money, they have friends everywhere. At least, Na Lan knew that Jin Cheng knew most of the people in the circle of rich second-generation Chinese Americans. He had introduced her to their friends, so Jin Cheng dared to say at Madison Square Garden that he wanted to find someone to help Na Lan vent her anger.

Dong Ruhai frowned. He knew that Jin Cheng was capable of such a thing. He had cleaned up his mess for him countless times over the years. How could he not know what a mess this was?

If his eldest brother Jin Zhenbang had not lost his fertility, he would have persuaded his eldest brother to have a second child.

"Then Miss Lan, we can find a cafe and sit down to talk." Dong Ruhai said solemnly: "I need you to tell me all the details."

"This……"

Na Lan was in a dilemma and looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye's cell phone happened to ring: "Excuse me, I need to answer the call."

"what's up?"

"Sign? Do I have to go?"

"OK, fine then."

Bai Ye put down his phone helplessly and said, "Lan, I just happened to have something to do here. Do you want to go with this... old man? Or..."

"I'd better go with you." Na Lan sighed and said to Dong Ruhai, "Uncle Dong, Jin Cheng and I broke up last night. It's not convenient for me to get involved in his affairs now. You should be able to go to the prison and ask him about the specific situation, right?"

"Then Miss Lan!" Dong Ruhai's face changed: "Are you so heartless? You and the young master have been in love for eight years. Even if he did something wrong and let you down, there is no need for you to add insult to injury at this time, right?"

"Boss! What do you mean by kicking someone when they are down? My boyfriend is raping another woman, do I have to applaud to not kick him when he is down? Am I that cheap?" Na Lan said angrily, "The first time he went to the police station, I asked friends everywhere for help and lawyers to help with his bail. I even scraped together a lot of the bail money, but what happened? He went to jail for the second time! He disappoints me so much! There is nothing to say between us. How you want to see me is your business. There is no need for us to have any contact with each other in the future."

"Let's go." Bai Ye put his arm around Na Lan's shoulders and said, "Don't get angry over such a small matter. It's bad for your health."

"No one is allowed to leave!" Dong Ruhai waved his hand, and immediately seven or eight bodyguards in black came over and blocked Bai Ye and Na Lan: "We must make things clear today."

"Boss, what do you want to do?" Na Lan was immediately angry: "Kidnap me?"

"No!" Dong Ruhai denied it flatly: "I just asked Miss Lan to explain the matter clearly. My young master was caught while traveling with you. You also have the responsibility to cooperate with me to rescue him."

Na Lan and Jin Cheng were in marriage, not trying to curry favor with each other. Both parties were equals. Although Na Lan's family had no money, they would not easily fall out with each other. However, Dong Ruhai felt that Jin Cheng's safety was the most important thing, and it was understandable that he used some unconventional means.

And Na Lan was not stupid. She was unfamiliar with New York. If she followed Dong Ruhai, if something happened, no matter how powerful her parents were, they probably wouldn't be able to fly over to protect her...

"Alas, I really don't have much time right now. What are you doing?"

Bai Ye sighed softly and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a group of burly bodyguards with murderous auras surrounded Dong Ruhai and his companions. Dong Ruhai and his companions dared not move because guns could be seen faintly on the bodies of Bai Ye's bodyguards...

"Let's go, they are in a hurry, we need to go over there right away."

Bai Ye put his arm around Na Lan’s shoulders and walked towards the car.

Na Lan was stunned: "Bai Ye, where did you get these bodyguards?"

After getting in the car, Bai Ye replied: "They have been following us all the time. After all, you should know the situation in America. Guns are rampant. If you don't have bodyguards, what if you walk on the street one day and meet a madman who kills indiscriminately?"

Na Lan had another epiphany.

Bai Ye’s identity...is super complicated.

He doesn't look like an ordinary rich man, but more like...the kind of chaebol in movies and TV shows.

"What are you going to do now?"

That Lan asked.

Bai Ye: "I have to sign the contract for the acquisition of a company. Do you think I don't have time to chat with that old bald guy?"

"what company?"

"Brand Group."

Na Lan was not very familiar with American companies, but when she heard the name Brand Group, she felt it was very familiar. She must have heard it somewhere.

"where is it?"

Na Lan murmured.

She was lost in thought and didn't care at all about Bai Ye's hand wandering on her long white legs.

When the car arrived at Galaxy Capital and just stopped, Na Lan suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone and looked at a news report from some time ago.

"Shock! A giant slug monster appeared in New York City. Its true identity turned out to be Herbert Landon, CEO of the American medical giant Brand Group."

“Pharmaceutical giant?”

Na Lan quickly checked the information of Brand Group again.

Before the slug monster incident, Brand Group was a medical giant with a market value of more than $300 billion.

"More than 300 billion US dollars?"

Na Lan was shocked. Converted into RMB, it would be a huge company with a market value of nearly 2000 billion RMB. The real estate company of Jincheng's family had a market value of only tens of billions of RMB. How could the company that Bai Ye was going to sign a contract to acquire be such a behemoth?

Judging from Bai Ye's appearance, acquiring the Brand Group was just like eating and drinking water, without any sense of prudence of a businessman...

Is this guy really an American tycoon?

Is he a member of the direct family of one of the top ten conglomerates?

How did Wendy find a boyfriend of this status?

The blue CPU is about to burn out.

The young master of a wealthy family and a girl from a remote mountainous area of ​​China become boyfriend and girlfriend. Is this the real-life version of the story of the prince and Cinderella?

"Bai Ye, is the company you want to acquire really the Brand Group? The Brand Group with a market value of over 300 billion US dollars?"

Na Lan asked quickly.

"Where can I get $300 billion..." Bai Ye waved his hand and said modestly, "Brand Group privately conducted human experiments and secretly captured homeless people for live research, causing huge economic losses to New York and facing high fines from the government. It has gone bankrupt and reorganized. I just picked up a bargain."

Na Lan is not that easy to fool. For a giant like Brand Group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, even a rotten ship still has three nails. No matter how shabby the ship is, if the acquisition price does not include tens of billions of dollars in cash, don't even think about it.

"Okay, let's go up first. They have been waiting for us for a long time. It would be rude if we don't go."

Bai Ye held Na Lan's hand and went to the office of Galaxy Capital together.

When he arrived at Galaxy Capital's office, Bai Ye met with Jordan, David Solomon, co-head of Goldman Sachs' investment banking department, as well as stakeholders from the New York court and Brand Group.

Na Lan watched with a numb face as Bai Ye chatted and laughed with these top American power figures. In the end, Bai Ye signed the acquisition agreement and acquired the Brand Group for US$91.69 billion.

“Happy cooperation!”*2

Bai Ye shook hands with these people one by one and then saw them off.

The last person to walk was David Solomon.

He smiled and said, "Master Bai Ye, your Galaxy Capital now has spare capacity again, so Sun Bank's plan to acquire Silicon Valley Bank and New York Community Bank can go ahead, right?"

After hearing what David Solomon said, Na Lan immediately took out his mobile phone to check and found that the market value of Silicon Valley Bank was 51.34 billion US dollars and that of New York Community Bank was 48.75 billion US dollars.

I go.

Lan's brain was almost numb. Bai Ye had just spent hundreds of billions of dollars to acquire the Brand Group, and now he was going to acquire two medium-sized banks, spending another 100 billion dollars. Didn't he treat money as money?

The big chaebols are really scary. Their cash flow is so sufficient that even the largest listed company in China cannot come up with 100 billion US dollars.

“Silicon Valley Bank?”

Bai Ye frowned slightly. This name is not very auspicious.

Of course, Bai Ye also knew that the main reason for the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank was not Silicon Valley Bank itself, nor was it war's fault. Rather, it was the Federal Reserve's fault for sharply raising interest rates in response to high inflation, which resulted in a large number of Silicon Valley Bank's customers withdrawing funds to buy U.S. Treasury bonds. The total withdrawal amount reached 420 billion U.S. dollars, causing Silicon Valley Bank to suffer a bank run. It would be strange if it did not go bankrupt.

If Bai Ye had acquired Silicon Valley Bank, there would definitely not have been so many troubles, because it would be too easy for Galaxy Capital to make cash, and it would not be afraid of its banks encountering a run.

"Okay." Bai Ye nodded and said, "Restart the plan. You can discuss the details with Jordan."

"Thank you, Master."

David Solomon was overjoyed.

Goldman Sachs can help Sun Bank acquire two medium-sized banks, involving a capital amount of US$100 billion, and earn a large commission from it.

Bai Ye is the living Bodhisattva who takes care of their Goldman Sachs business and saves people from suffering.

"Then Master Bai Ye, I will leave first." David Solomon said, "If you have plans to acquire Brand Group, Silicon Valley Bank, and New York Community Bank in the future, you can talk to us at Goldman Sachs. We will definitely give you the biggest discount."

"OK, it's been quite pleasant to cooperate with you Goldman Sachs these few times."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Master, let me tell you, it won't cost as much as $150 billion to acquire the Brand Group. As long as we manage it well, we can get it for $100 billion."

Jordan smiled and boasted in front of Bai Ye.

"That's because you are too treacherous." Bai Ye shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Based on the assets of the Brand Group, they are of very high quality. The $150 billion acquisition was a bargain. Who knew you would resort to trickery with Goldman Sachs?"

"If you don't use your right, it will expire and become invalid. That's how everyone does it." Jordan shrugged.

Bai Ye: “That’s true…”

JPMorgan Chase's acquisition of First Republic was much more dirty than Bai Ye's acquisition of Brand Group. It was just direct profiteering.

Watching Bai Ye and Jordan chatting about business events, Lan felt like she was being scratched by a kitten and was itching very much. She really wanted to know who Bai Ye was and why he was so awesome.

Even the British royal family doesn't spend money as lavishly as Bai Ye, right?

An inspiration suddenly occurred to her, and she remembered that the police commissioner in the New York City Police Department called Bai Ye "Master". She immediately took out her cell phone and looked up information about "Osborn" - she was not American, and was not so sensitive to the term "Osborn". She did not have any extra reaction when she heard it, and was even more surprised why others called Bai Ye "Master".

no doubt.

As the most powerful biological and medical group in the United States, the Osborne Group has a wealth of information.

"So... Bai Ye is the controlling shareholder of the Osborne Group and the young master of the Osborne family?"

Na Lan covered her cherry-like lips to prevent herself from screaming out in surprise.

No wonder Bai Ye was so generous, spending hundreds of billions of dollars easily. He is truly one of the big American capitalists.

The blue eyes were complicated.
