The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Eric Robbins and his son, Anthony Robbins, were left utterly dumbfounded by the words of the secretary.

Naturally, the name “Banks Group” was not foreign to them. The Banks Family held a formidable stature in China, a towering titan amidst the national landscape. Meanwhile, Celestial Group, despite its moniker, hadn’t even managed to secure a spot on the GEM. In the southern province, it was a mere whisper, and even in Poole City, its fame barely managed to tiptoe above the mundane.

Never in their wildest dreams did Eric Robbins and his son, Anthony Robbins, fathom the notion that the mighty Banks Group would cast an eye their way for acquisition.

The gap between their standings was as vast as the ocean; Banks Group’s assets towered over Celestial Group’s by a magnitude that defied comparison, dwarfing them by a thousandfold.

Overwhelmed, Eric Robbins voiced his disbelief to the secretary, “Are you playing a jest on me? The Banks Group wants to discuss acquisition with us?”

The secretary, her expression a mix of earnestness and vexation, responded, “Chairman, I wouldn’t toy with such matters.”

She recounted her conversation on the phone, adding, “They proposed a video conference at your convenience if you’re genuinely interested.”

Father and son exchanged glances, and Eric Robbins asked his son, “Anthony, what do you think?”

Anthony Robbins didn’t hesitate to put forth his perspective, “Scam, it’s got to be a telephone hoax! Damn these tricksters up in northern Myanmar! Their art of deception’s becoming disturbingly professional! It used to be posing as executives to bilk accountants into transferring money, but now they’re playing M&A games, for crying out loud!”

He railed on, “Why can’t these crooks get their narrative straight? Pretending to be an acquisition? Not a bad idea, but their execution’s off. If they had posed as a company from Jenkins Groups’ sector, we might’ve bitten the bait by 30 to 50 percent. But posing as the Banks Group? They’re treating us like imbeciles! Why not just pretend to be Elon Musk?”

Eric Robbins was taken aback, his son’s logic hitting home.

Rubbing his temples, he begrudgingly instructed the secretary, “Call the authorities.”

The secretary, embarrassed, muttered, “Chairman, they didn’t specify any wrongdoing. They just disclosed their identity and suggested a video conference if you’re interested. How would I explain this to the police?”

Eric Robbins waved his hand dismissively, “Then let it be!”
