Chapter 137: Ask Carter
"Hey hey hey, this is..."
Waving to Carter, Goodman motioned for Carter to come closer. After sticking until his ears were almost touching his mouth, Goodman said quickly:
"Can't let fdic have an easy time!"
Can't let fdic have an easy time?!
Listening to Goodman's somewhat reactionary words, Carter kept slapping his mouth, but before he could get over it for a while, the situation changed again...
"Patterson! Let's all be sincere. The price is 43,000! Let's cooperate and give Forest Bank the next step!"
With a strong resentment on his face, Randall took out a cigarette and lit it without ceremony as he sat down. As he spoke, a puff of smoke rushed straight into the center of the venue...
"Impossible! Fifty-three thousand, we can still talk!"
When Patterson heard the quotation, he was also very angry. Good guy, forty-three thousand dollars, even with their fdic work, you still have to pay Denison $860?!
On the other side, after hearing the quotation of fifty-three thousand, Randall stood up again and rushed straight to the door. But this time, Patterson did not stop him:
"Let's go! Let's go! If there's anything you don't want to talk about, you can leave too!"
Randall, who had already crossed the threshold with one foot, was hanging in the air. He looked a little embarrassed...
"Forty-five thousand! Can we talk?"
"roll!"
Randall left with a livid face, and after he left, several others shook their heads and stood up, following Randall out of the venue...
The remaining people who had not left were speechless for a while.
Carter looked a little confused. How could Randall be so angry with a child and threaten Patterson by taking away people? Patterson was also very surprised. Looking at his first action of stopping someone,
Obviously he knew that his quote was on the high side, and he really wanted to sell Forest Bank as soon as possible...
Why did the attitude suddenly become tougher this second time?
Knowing too little information, Carter couldn't think about the problem. He simply took advantage of the rare quiet time in the venue to think about Goodman's previous reminder...
What does it mean not to let fdic have an easy time?
Thinking again about Goodman's surprised expression when he asked himself "what else?". What seemed to be the key to the problem?
At that time, it seemed like... Forest Bank was not really bankrupt?
"Forest Bank is not really bankrupt... we can't let fdic have an easy time... fdic... Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation..."
Silently reciting these keywords in his mind, Carter suddenly had an idea: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation!!
That's right! The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation... they provide insurance for deposits! However, Forest Bank's current deposit and withdrawal business has not yet experienced a redemption crisis. In other words, they are actually in this bankruptcy process.
No insurance compensation was paid to depositors at all!
Now Forest Bank's withdrawals and settlements are proceeding normally, and depositors' deposits are theoretically safe. They simply cannot meet the claims standard...
In other words, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, apart from paying the wages of the working group’s employees and travel expenses, they did not pay a dime this time! In other words, they had no losses at all!
Thinking of this, Carter thought about Randall's quote of 43,000...forty-six thousand and eighty...
It seems that they just want the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to make some expenses and make some losses?!
But why is this?
"Mr. Patterson!"
"Speak, Mr. Potter!"
After a short period of puffing away, Patterson's mood calmed down a lot. After hearing Old Porter speak, he nodded gently. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed from enthusiastic to calm...
"I want to say that all our banks in Georgia are having a hard time now. If you really want to sell Forest Bank, don't go too far! The estimated acquisition cost of more than 300,000 yuan was not even in the previous era of good economic times.
A small number, let alone today? At this time, even if you ask for just a thousand dollars more, it may be the straw that breaks the next camel's back!"
"Fifty thousand! This is my bottom line, and it is also the bottom line of fdic!"
After letting out a long sigh, Patterson gritted his teeth and said:
"There are 11 banks present now. Let's share the cost together. Each bank will only spend about 30,000 yuan. If we are lucky, this cost will be reduced!"
"How could you be so lucky? How much has the number of unemployed people in Pilsen increased recently? You have also been to Pilsen, there is no way you don't know!"
Buckley, the manager of Fitzgerald Garden Bank, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly stood up, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stamped it out, and walked away with a sleeve.
Judging from his decisive actions, it's obviously not just like Randall...
Before walking to the door of the conference room, Buckley continued:
"You are too greedy! Greed is your real bottom line! Before the crisis breaks out, I wish you can sell Forest Bank!"
"Bang~"
At the end of Buckley's words, there was a heavy sound of the door hitting the door frame. And listening to Buckley's calm accusation, Patterson's face also showed some vague struggle...
"Hey, what Buckley said is right. At this time, it's already good for you to escape unscathed. Why do you have to do it so cruelly?"
While Old Porter sighed, a skinny palm gradually touched the buttons of his suit jacket...
Touching the buttons means that he has to button them, and buttoning them means that he has to leave. Because the suit jacket will not be buttoned when sitting down...
"I wish you good luck! I'm old and can't join in. Besides..."
Old Porter stood up slowly, and his eyes suddenly noticed Carter who was looking at him. Smiling slightly at Carter, Old Porter changed the subject:
"And I borrowed a lot of money from Porter Newt Bank to Black Bank. Maybe you can ask Little Carter..."
Damn! It’s going to be bad!
Old Porter left in a calm manner. But his last meaningful words instantly attracted a lot of attention to Carter...well, not a lot of people. Between these two people
After the leader left, three more people followed him from the venue.
In the conference room where there were originally 11 bank representatives, only six people were left in an instant. And he and Goodman actually belonged to a bank, as well as Eduardo Bass and his son Edward who were opposite Carter.
Bass is also a representative of Bass Bank. In fact, out of six people, only four banks are still interested in acquiring Forest Bank...
But at this time, the atmosphere became a little subtle...
In particular, Patterson knows the details of Black Bank's asset review. Why hasn't the representative of a small bank whose accounts are almost as good as Forest Bank not left yet?
Just like skipping Douglas City before, although Black Bank was invited to attend the meeting this time, in fact, Patterson had no hope for it at all. Normally speaking, with such a huge acquisition cost, other people’s asset appraisals are more expensive than yours.
The good banks shook their heads and left after hearing this. Why don't you two leave?
Combined with Old Porter's words just now, Patterson's eyes narrowed slightly...
According to the review report, Black Bank does not have many interbank loans remaining... Combined with the exaggeratedly high number of loans...
Chapter completed!
