Vol 2 Chapter 761: Conversation Between The Morgans

Chapter seven hundred and sixty-one dialogue between the Morgan father and son

…

After getting along for many years, Guo Shouyun already knew Wang Jue very well. Seeing her appearance, Guo Shouyun’s heart sank instantly.

“Boss, just got the news from Washington. The U.S. Trade Commission officially launched an antitrust investigation into the ‘Phoenix-Merrill Lynch merger’. In addition, Vice President Richard Cheney told the media in his capacity as Senate President that Congress will Hold a hearing on the ‘Phoenix-Merrill Lynch merger’.”

It’s not really good news!

Guo Shouyun took a deep breath and calmed the tumultuous thoughts in his heart. Facing the gazes around him, he suddenly smiled and said, “What should come will always come. I originally thought they would come up with some new tricks, but now it seems that Same thing. . . . Bart, looks like you’re going to be in San Francisco for a few more days.”

Old Roosevelt’s eyes flashed, and then he smiled: “No problem, I just want to take a good look at my little grandson!”

…

“Father, do you want to go together this time?”

“Well! … This time is very important, I have to interview Bruce. Besides, isn’t his child just born? It’s okay to come to congratulate him by the way!”

Old Morgan tidied up his clothes and turned around, “Let’s go, it’s almost time!”

Frederick Morgan nodded, followed his father out of the house, and boarded the long-awaited private jet.

“Didn’t Harvey go with him?”

My second brother is a shareholder of Ruby Company and Google, and he is close to Bruce Guo, so there is no reason to miss it.

“Harvey has already arrived ahead of schedule!”

“That’s it!” After nodding clearly, “Father, do you think Bruce Guo can succeed this time?”

“Aren’t you optimistic about this cooperation?”

“One thing! After all, the Schiff family, Citibank, ING, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Chevron, General Electric, Comscat, Halliburton Energy, Maersk Group are united. Too powerful. Even with us and the Roosevelt family, plus Bruce Guo’s own energy, it may not be able to defeat this force!”

As the direct heir to the Morgan family, Frederick Morgan is very proud and confident of his family’s brilliance. But he also understands that although the current Morgan family is seen by outsiders who don’t know the inside story, they are still the century-old family that has come from the Gilded Age of America.

But compared with the peak period of Pierpont Morgan era in the early 2000s, when he could lead the entire U.S. financial market and influence the world; now it is far worse. In half a century, the intersection of business, law, and culture in the United States has changed dramatically. Too many new industries and new industry leaders have risen, and the conservative Morgan family has fallen a lot. Although Morgan is still the top giant in the United States! But there are also many top forces like her!

The Schiff family, Citibank, ING Group of the Netherlands, Barclays Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Chevron, General Electric, Comscat, just pick out a few, and the combination is no worse than the current Morgan family. Not to mention the alliance of so many great forces!

“Bruce Guo is not a fool. He can think of everything we can think of. So you think he’ll just invite us? Plus, the merger of Phoenix and Merrill is bound to create one of the world’s largest financial giants. There are amazing benefits. , as long as he is willing, countless major forces will extend an olive branch! At that time, with only the shares of Phoenix Merrill, he will be able to form a larger interest group than Schiff and Citi Alliance! With the help of this interest group, The merger of Phoenix and Merrill will no longer be difficult.”

Frederick pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

“If he wants to unite more power, Bruce Guo has to take out enough shares. In this case, he will lose the majority stake in Phoenix Merrill, is he willing?”

“He’s a smart guy who knows how to weigh the pros and cons! As for equity, isn’t control more important?”

Equity can bring benefits, but control can bring power! The latter is clearly more important than the former!

Frederick’s eyes flashed, “Father, do you think we need to…?”

Glancing at him, Old Morgan, who knew his son very well, could guess his purpose from just the look in his eyes.

“Bruce Guo, a shrewd person, will not let us have the opportunity to take control of Phoenix Merrill Lynch. Moreover, he is indeed a financial genius. Let him lead Phoenix Merrill Lynch, this investment can quickly increase in value. As for the future, just Give it time!”

“Yes!”

When the two fathers and sons communicated, the plane also successfully landed at Ruby Airport in San Francisco from New York across the United States.

This is a private airport invested and constructed by Guo Shouyun himself. In addition to his own use, it is also used by executives of Apple, Ruby, Google and other companies. It was just completed this year, and the facilities are first-class.

After the Morgans got off the plane, they were naturally greeted by special personnel. As for the address where he stayed, it was naturally the Hanshan Courtyard.

“Father, was Goldman Sachs CEO Blanc Fein who just entered?”

Looking at the figure who was led into the villa by the receptionist through the car window, Frederick was surprised.

“Indeed!”

Old Morgan’s eyes chased the figure until he disappeared at the door.

“Are we not mistaken? Goldman Sachs… Shouldn’t it be Bruce Guo’s opponent?”

“As long as there are enough interests, opponents can also become friends!” After a pause, “Let’s go, this negotiation will be very interesting. I am looking forward to it!”

Frederick nodded, and the father and son pushed the door and got out of the car. With the secretary and entourage, they moved into the room arranged by the Hanshan Courtyard.

“Why isn’t Harvey here? Didn’t he come earlier?”

During the whole process, the second brother was not seen to greet them.

“Call him!”

Old Morgan, who happened to have something to ask about, ordered.

Frederick followed his word, and soon found out the whereabouts of his second brother.

“He’s at Google, and he’ll be back soon!”

Old Morgan nodded and looked at the time.

“Let’s go to lunch first!”

“Um!”

As a private club carefully built by Guo Shouyun, Hanshan Bieyuan’s food is naturally the best in San Francisco, or even the entire United States. Very satisfied even with the picky taste of old Morgan. However, the people he met here interested him more than the meal process.

“Mr. Morgan, I didn’t expect to meet you here!”

The two father and son had just finished eating when a tall, smiling middle-aged man in a black suit came over.

“I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Johnson here!”

Vernon Johnson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Royal Bank of Scotland.

After the two shook hands, they greeted Frederick next to him, “Mr. Morgan, it’s lunch time, why don’t you sit down and have something?”

“Thank you very much for your invitation. We just finished eating, so we can only wait for the next time.”

“What a pity. It seems that we have to wait for the next opportunity.” After a pause, “By the way, Mr. Morgan is staying here too?”

“Isn’t it the same with Mr. Johnson?”

After the two looked at each other, they laughed at each other.

In fact, when they saw each other’s figure, they knew what the other party’s purpose was in San Francisco this time. Now I communicate a few words, just to be more sure of my guess.

“My friends are still waiting for me, so let’s say goodbye.”

“Mr. Johnson, please do it yourself!”

“Hope to have lunch with Mr. Morgan next time, see you!”

“goodbye!”

Old Morgan nodded and said.

The two parties tacitly did not mention anything about the ‘merger of Phoenix and Merrill’. Because they all know that no one will share this kind of business secrets with strangers before the showdown is really on the negotiating table. Unless his brain is missing a string.

“Father, it appears that the scope of this financing for Bruce Guo is much larger than we previously expected.”

Old Morgan looked at Vernon Johnson’s retreating back and nodded slowly.

“We’re more competitive.”

“Would you like to contact us in advance? It’s good for everyone to reach a tacit understanding. I think this is also the purpose of Vernon Johnson’s greeting this time.”

Old Morgan did not exclude the matter of joint price reduction.

“Bruce Guo may not give us this chance, but we can try it first.”

Joint price reduction requires communication and negotiation, which obviously cannot be accomplished in a short time.

“Yes!”

“Come on, Harvey is coming back soon. See what’s new from him.”

The father and son returned to the room~www.readwn.com~ Not long after, Harvey Morgan knocked on the door and walked in.

“Father, Frederick!”

“Come and sit!”

Old Morgan pointed to the sofa on his left. After waiting for the second son to sit down, “Has there been any changes within the Ruby Company after the storm?”

He didn’t ask about Phoenix and Merrill as soon as he came up.

“After Tim George left, Ruby Company’s organizational structure and business scope have been adjusted to some extent. However, the company’s overall atmosphere and management have not changed much. Now Tim George leads a large number of Ruby Company employees to change jobs. There are basically no traces of things.”

“Bruce Guo is really amazing, and he minimized the impact of the whole thing in such a short time. It’s really doubtful, did he know about Tim George’s departure?” Old Morgan sighed.

“Whether he knew earlier, no one can be sure. However, Ruby has not only not been affected by the departure of Tim George, but has grown faster. According to the information I have collected, Ruby’s first quarter of this year’s camp The total revenue is expected to exceed 2.5 billion US dollars! The net profit exceeds 350 million US dollars. It is still one of the largest Internet companies in the world today, the hegemon of the social field, and 1.24 billion people around the world use Ruby’s website every day. “…
