Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

The most difficult thing to guard against in this world is "conspiracy".

What Du Yongxiao is now carrying out is a "conspiracy". He has 200 million US dollars worth of Goldman Sachs Securities shares in his hands. Whoever wants to get it, Will Rothschild or David Rockefeller, will have to pay a high price.

This is a clear sign,

The one who pays the price wins.

Rockefeller smiled bitterly at this.

Weir angrily smashed three collections of sacrificial chalices used by Peter the Great of Russia.

"Damn! This bastard! This shameless bastard! God, why don't you accept him?" Weir was furious in the private villa.

The servants and confidants were trembling with fear.

But what's the use if he gets angry again?

In order to prevent Du Yongxiao from controlling the "Goldman Sachs Securities" he founded, Weir could only grit his teeth and offer a high price of US$230 million.

Just when Weir gritted his teeth and thought he could win over Du Yongxiao, news came from Du Yongxiao that Rockefeller was offering $250 million.

"Bastard!" Weir smashed the only two precious sacrificial wine glasses in anger.

The reason why Rockefeller dared to offer such a price was simple: it was profitable.

When Du Yongxiao spent 200 million to acquire Goldman Sachs shares, it was at its lowest point, which meant that the stock was cut in half.

If the stock returns to its original price, it will be worth at least $400 million.

Of course, this takes time and luck. If Goldman Sachs' stock falls but does not rise, you will suffer a big loss.

Rockefeller's decision undoubtedly made Weir very angry.

He knew that his opponent now was not Du Yongxiao, but the American Rockefeller family.

Weir also knows that the Rockefeller family has always had the ambition to become the top financial tycoon in the United States, but unfortunately it has been suppressed by the Rothschild family. Now is their best chance.

what to do?

They couldn't follow Du Yongxiao's plan of dog-eating dog-eat-dog, constantly raising prices, and making people named Du laugh.

In the end, Weir made a decision. He privately invited Rockefeller out for dinner, and then made it five!

Yes, Weir's plan is very simple. Du Yongxiao cannot be allowed to take advantage, so the best way is to give some shares to Rockefeller. In this way, Rockefeller cannot pose a fatal threat to himself, and can break the dilemma designed by Du Yongxiao and win Du Yongxiao at a low price. Stocks in hand.

Originally this plan was perfect.

Rockefeller was not willing to watch Du Yongxiao stand aside and take advantage. As long as he and Weill gave up the bidding, he could win Goldman Sachs shares at a low price.

Everything was perfect.

Just when Weill and Rockefeller were ready to join forces and seize Du Yongxiao, news came from Du Yongxiao——

There is a third party participating in this competition!

That man is Freeman Morgan!

President of Morgan Group, head of the American Morgan family!

puff!

When Weir heard the news, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Rockefeller was also stunned. He couldn't figure out when Du Yongxiao hooked up with Morgan.

In its heyday, the Morgan family was known as the creditors of the world. Equivalent to the functions and roles of the Federal Reserve today, it has twice used its strong financial resources to raise huge amounts of funds for the United States to save the United States in times of crisis.

The Morgan consortium controls many companies, including General Motors, General Electric, General Dynamics, Grumman Aircraft Company, U.S. Steel, Hanover, IBM, etc., involving almost every aspect of people's lives.

If you still do some financial investments, then you must have heard of Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, two giants in the financial industry.

For the Morgan consortium, these are just the tip of the iceberg of its huge family business. The Morgan consortium actually controls nearly forty Fortune 500 companies, as well as many emerging entrepreneurial companies, as well as countless industries lurking in the dark. and excellent businesses.

And this family was just an ordinary peasant family two hundred years ago.

The ancestors of the Morgan family immigrated from England to North America in search of livelihood during the gold rush in the New World three hundred years ago. After they settled in Massachusetts, they took a piece of land and made a living by running a farm and living a simple farm life.

When it came to Joseph Morgan's generation, he was unwilling to spend his whole life doing farm work and resolutely sold his family's farm. The family moved to Connecticut and opened a small cafe. Unexpectedly, the business was successful.

After saving a little money, he first invested in running a very grand hotel, then bought shares in the canal and became a shareholder in the shipping and railway industries, and then entered the railway industry. All approaches have been taken. Joseph Morgan had obviously become a fish in water in the local area, and he was recognized by future generations as the first generation head of the Morgan family.

The Morgan family's second round of wealth came from a wealthy American businessman named George Peabody, who had no blood relationship with the Morgan family. But he is known by the world as the founder of the Morgan Empire.

What's going on? In 1837, Peabody founded a trading house in London, specializing in the financing business of issuing bonds and stocks to governments and private wealthy people. He quickly made a name for himself and became the main handler of local American state bonds in the UK.

In the 1850s, Junior Morgan, then the second generation of Morgans, was first employed by Peabody. They cooperated very well. After successfully introducing a large amount of British hot money into the United States, which was extremely short of funds, the two have maintained a business partnership.

In 1857, the United States experienced a severe economic crisis, and British bankers sold U.S. bonds in large quantities. Peabody, who was optimistic about the opportunity, spent all his money to acquire these bonds. A year later, the United States weathered the crisis, and Peabody reaped huge profits.

Although he was very wealthy in his later years, it was a pity that he had no children, so he donated countless amounts. Alms were given to staggering proportions, with a history museum donated to Yale University, a museum of archeology and anthropology to Harvard University, and an educational fund established for freed blacks in the South.

Peabody completely handed over all remaining assets and business contacts to his highly admired partner Juniors Morgan.

This move transformed the Morgan family's strength directly from gold players to glory kings.

It can be said that the current Morgan family, as one of the largest wealthy families in the United States, is no weaker than the Rothschilds, and is even stronger than them.

This is due to the relatively dispersed power of the Rothschild family. Except for Britain, France and Germany, they almost focus on Europe. But who would have thought that after World War II, the United States would suddenly become the leader of capitalist countries.

When the Rothschild family began to spread its presence in the United States, it was already a step behind the Morgan family.

Now if the Morgan family takes over Goldman Sachs, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Weir.

The reason is simple. Morgan himself is in finance and poses a greater threat to the Ross family.

In order to verify the authenticity of this news, Weir immediately sent his confidants to inquire about Du Yongxiao and Morgan's dealings.

The confidant quickly came back and replied that Du Yongxiao was meeting with Freeman Morgan at the Xinduhui Cafe.

If nothing else happens, they will finalize the acquisition plan today. The specific price of the acquisition is unknown, but it is guessed that it will be no less than 300 million US dollars.

In other words, as long as Du Yongxiao is willing to sell the purchased Goldman Sachs shares to Morgan, he can get 300 million from 200 million and make a huge profit of 100 million US dollars.

This news was like thunder, shocking Weir.

But he still doubted the authenticity of Du Yongxiao's cooperation with Morgan, so he asked his subordinates to inquire further.

This time, his subordinates came back and replied that Morgan had even called his personal lawyer to the Xinduhui Cafe, and it looked like he was signing the contract on the spot.

This time Weir didn't hesitate again, "Immediately, immediately! I want to call the person named Du!"

…

Xinduhui Cafe.

As the most luxurious coffee shop in New York, a cup of coffee here costs up to four to five hundred dollars, and the best coffee costs thousands of dollars a cup, which is simply not within the reach of ordinary people.

In fact, for these rich people, the coffee here is not much better than ordinary coffee shops. What they drink here is not the atmosphere or service. The only reason why they come here to consume and are willing to be taken advantage of is that this is a "Message exchange" place.

Often a piece of news here can make you make millions in the Wall Street stock market or somewhere else.

In terms of millions of profits, what does a thousand dollar cup of coffee count?

In addition, doing things here, such as discussing business, is relatively secretive. As long as you don't want the outside world to know what you are talking about here, this place will help you keep it secret.

On the contrary, if you want the outside world to know what you are talking about here, people here can also help you "accidentally reveal it".

At this moment, Du Yongxiao was slowly tasting the thousand-dollar coffee here. Sitting opposite him was a white-haired old man with a beastly face and a pair of bright blue eyes.

"It's been almost an hour, Du!" The white-haired old man looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist, raised his head and smiled at Du Yongxiao: "According to our mutual agreement, I will drink coffee with you for an hour, and you will pay me one million US dollars. .”

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Indeed, this is what I promised you. I'm just curious, why would you, a big boss who earns hundreds of thousands every minute, agree?"

"Because I'm curious, why did you give me a million for nothing? Although one million is not too much for me, it is not a small amount either. I can earn it just by drinking coffee with you, so I come here."

The white-haired old man is the boss of the American Morgan Group and the current helm of the Morgan family - Freeman Morgan, nicknamed "The Money Making Machine" and known for his cold-bloodedness in the financial market.

"If I said that I paid to buy you coffee because I admire you so much, would you believe it?"

"I believe in a ghost!" Morgan sneered, "I don't believe there is such a fool in the world!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "No, there are not only such fools in the world, but many more! Maybe you can't think of it, someone will auction their dining opportunities in the future, and if you want to have a meal with him, you have to pay millions, or even tens of millions." !”

Morgan shook his head again: "Then, those people are either stupid or crazy!"

"No, they are not stupid or crazy. On the contrary, they are very smart! One meal can help them earn hundreds of millions! Do you think it is cost-effective to pay several million?"

"Uh, this -" Morgan's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up and looked at Du Yongxiao: "What do you mean by this? Could it be -"

at this time--

Jingle Bell!

The bar phone rang.

A white restaurant manager walked over quickly and said to Du Yongxiao with a smile on his face: "Mr. Du, your phone number!"

Du Yongxiao leaned on the sofa, smiled and took out his wallet from his arms, handsomely held a hundred dollars between his fingers and handed it to the other party, "Reward you!"

"Thank you!" the restaurant manager beamed.

"Sorry, Mr. Morgan, excuse me!" Du Yongxiao got up from the sofa, adjusted his suit, and said to Freeman Morgan with a smile.

Morgan looked at him and always felt that the other person was smiling like a little fox.

Under Morgan's gaze, Du Yongxiao walked towards the bar.

Morgan looked at his back and said, "Du Yongxiao, what on earth are you doing? Buy me a cup of coffee and give me a million dollars? Are you really a fool?"

In fact, today Morgan received a call from Du Yongxiao. When Du Yongxiao begged to have coffee with him, Morgan was disdainful.

For him, he is a big boss of the Morgan Group and has a very high status. How can he drink coffee with an unknown junior?

What's more, Du Yongxiao himself is Chinese, so in the eyes of Morgan, a pure white man, he is even more contemptuous.

But when Du Yongxiao proposed that he would pay him one million US dollars as a reward for "drinking coffee" together, Morgan became curious.

How could he refuse such an offer for a cup of coffee for one million dollars?

"Damn it, why does he smile like a fox?" Morgan held his chin and sat down, turning to look at Du Yongxiao again. At this moment, he always felt that he was being plotted.

…

Cafe bar.

Du Yongxiao took the phone that was placed aside. Before he could speak, Weir's urgent voice came from the other side: "Du, are you with Morgan?"

Du Yongxiao did not answer, but asked: "How do you know?"

"God, let's do this. We can talk about anything. Yes, I want all the shares in Goldman Sachs you hold!"

"Do you want them all?" Du Yongxiao smiled as he held the phone, "That will cost a lot of money - how much can you pay?"

The other person on the phone hesitated.

Then Weir gritted his teeth and said: "Three hundred million U.S. dollars, yes, let you make 100 million! How about it, can it be a deal?"

Du Yongxiao laughed again: "Deal? Sorry Will, I actually admire you very much, but the price you gave -"

"Damn it, how much did Morgan pay?"

"More than yours anyway!"

"How much exactly?"

"Sorry, this is a business secret. Do you think I will tell you?"

"Okay, okay, Du Yongxiao, good on you!" Weir gritted his teeth over there, "Please make a price, yes, see if I can agree to it!"

"Since Weir is so forthcoming, then I will make an offer -" Du Yongxiao changed his hand and held the phone, "The fixed price is 350 million, and you can pay another 1 million more!"

"Huh?" Weir was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, "Three hundred and fifty million, you really dare to speak!"

"Then will you accept it or not?" Du Yongxiao still smiled and his tone was unsettling.

Will said nothing.

Du Yongxiao continued: "If you don't accept it, then there is nothing you can do. I have to go back and continue drinking coffee with Mr. Morgan! The coffee here is very expensive, a cup costs one thousand US dollars, which is more expensive than gun money!"

"You are more ruthless than them. They are trying to steal money. You treat me like an idiot and start talking like a lion!" Veer scolded.

"Then are you willing to be this idiot?" Du Yongxiao sounded a little impatient.

On the other side of Vail, there is a battle between heaven and man.

finally---

"Okay, I promise you!"

"OK! These are good friends!" Du Yongxiao laughed.

"But I have a question——"

"What questions?"

"What happened to the other million?"

"Oh, you'll find out soon!"
