    "Young man, I have to admit that your mind works very quickly. Although I am not happy to be a public figure, just like you did from the moment you saved people, since my surname is Morgan, there are some things I can't help myself with. However,  I'd rather you call me Jack, what do you think?"

    Jack Morgan is not a person who is good at socializing or is happy to talk to strangers, but the Chinese young man in front of him really aroused his curiosity. Whether Edison or Anderson, they all have good personal relationships with him.  friend.

    ¡°Both General Electric Company and Pfizer, they are actually targets of investment, equity participation or mergers and acquisitions that banks and the investment community have been peeping at for a long time.

    The names of old friends Edison and Anderson came out of the mouth of a Chinese young man sitting next to him. How could Jack Morgan, who was enjoying lunch alone at St. Regis, not want to ask what happened?

    "Mr. Morgan Okay, Jack, you can call me Geng, Wang Geng, Wang, whatever. I'm quite satisfied with Morgan's service. I went to the business hall below your headquarters this morning.  After opening an account, although the money in the account is not much, your front desk manager and account manager left a deep impression on me! ¡±

    Wang Geng seemed to be good at complimenting people recently. Kelly, who was listening with her ears pricked up, got goosebumps. Wang Geng's image in the girl's mind gradually became more like a cunning little fox with a good and bad temper.  change.

    "Oh? Have you met Freeman? He has been with Morgan for a long time and is a capable manager. Of course, you are welcome to become a client of Morgan."

    Jack casually raised the cigar in his hand. It was obvious that Wang Geng's compliment to Morgan Company put him in a good mood.

    "Young man, with all due respect, I just heard vaguely that there was a deal between you and John Anderson of Pfizer. I wonder if there is anything you need from Morgan to help you with this deal? Well, you know about investment and banking.  It is the main business of our bank, and curiosity is the driving force for our continuous development and advancement! ¡±

    Apparently Jack Morgan heard what Wang Geng said carelessly just now about giving away 14% of his shares to John Anderson and his management team, which made him smell a huge business investment opportunity, or money.

    Jack Morgan always likes to go straight to the point and go straight to the issues he cares about.

    Things like bringing $50,000 to the Morgan headquarters to open an account are so small that they are not qualified to be reported to Jack Morgan, the head of the Morgan syndicate, on his desk. At most, they only require  Report minor matters to the lobby manager or sales department manager.

    Wang Geng¡¯s heart skipped a beat, Damn, this old guy is not very particular. He is considered to be the most powerful man in the United States. Why does he look so ugly and get right to the point?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Anyway, we¡¯re just hunting rabbits in the grass, but we want to see who takes advantage of whom!

    "Jack, you know, before things are done, being too ostentatious will increase the risk. Although I am only a cadet at West Point Military Academy, I am still staying in the hospital under the guise of recuperation and refuse to go back to the military academy to suffer, but you don't have to listen.  I said that keeping business secrets is very important to both parties in the transaction."

    Wang Geng laughed and looked tired and had no comment. He took out the Camel cigarettes he bought from Edison and pretended to give them to Jack Morgan.

    Jack Morgan raised the cigar in his hand, indicating that he would only smoke the cigar. He thought to himself, little fox, since you forgot about your words when you were bragging to the girl opposite, it is not that easy to escape now.

    "You really don't smoke? The taste of cigars is a bit strong. I got this cigarette from Mr. Edison last night. I don't see anyone in his conference room. It will get moldy if I don't smoke!"

    Wang Geng struck a match and lit a cigarette. The old man and the young man puffed away smoke and looked at each other across the dining table.

    Wang Geng only responded to Jack Morgan's eagle-like deep and sharp gaze with a calm and nonchalant demeanor, without any evasion in his eyes.

    Damn, there are so many conglomerates in the United States. Rockefeller Center is just outside the door, and the Mellon family building is not far away. The world really does not belong to your Morgan family. Wang Geng has always been worried about JP Morgan being called a company instead of a bank.  , isn¡¯t this trying to sell dog meat on someone else¡¯s head?

    "Young man, Thomas Edison and John Anderson are both good personal friends of mine, so if they encounter difficulties, my Morgan Company and I will not stand idly by!" Jack Morgan reached out and snuffed out the ash in the ashtray.  He picked up the cigar butt in his hand, and his words revealed the majesty of the American financial czar.

    ????????????? Who are you bluffing? JP Morgan only grew and developed in the hands of your father.Yes, you, the second generation, are just inheriting your father's business and pretending to be a tiger. The respect of the United States and the world for Morgan is not directed at you, but at your father's side.

    Although old J.P. Morgan has died and you have been the leader for five years, you are still a long way from reaching the prestige of your family!  Wang Geng cursed.

    Although he disagreed in his heart, Wang Geng still said politely,

    "Jack, since you are an old friend of Mr. Edison and Mr. Anderson, there is nothing I can hide from you. Mr. Edison's affairs are easy to handle. I drew a schematic diagram of the torpedo mechanism for him. In order to express his gratitude, he started  He wrote me a check for $50,000, but the money ended up going into my new account at Morgan.¡±

    "So you see, you are the one who gets the biggest benefit!" Wang Geng joked.

    "Oh, it seems that you helped Thomas a lot. Old Edison was not usually so generous. The weekly salary he paid to his son Charles was only twenty-five dollars!"

    Jack Morgan raised his eyebrows. Fifty thousand US dollars was nothing to a billionaire like him, but for Thomas Edison, it was rare for such a large amount of money to be spent on artificial intelligence. This surprised him a little.  .

    "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. I just helped out with a few cigarette coins. I couldn't bear to see the great inventor who I had idolized since childhood still working overtime on weekends in his seventies!"

    Wang Geng looked pitiful in front of Jack Morgan, which made Kelly, who was listening with pricked ears, feel chills again. This Wang Geng will die if he doesn't brag!

    "So what about Anderson and Pfizer?" Jack's attention is actually more on Pfizer.

    Thomas Edison¡¯s General Electric Company was originally founded by his father. Although it was still controlled by the Edison family, Morgan also held a large share in it.

    On the other hand, Pfizer and Morgan, a heavyweight company in the American chemical industry, have always coveted the company but have not had the opportunity to participate in the stock or acquire it to become a major shareholder. John Anderson has much better qualifications than himself in terms of political arena. Basically, no matter how difficult it is, he will not easily sell his shares to accept new offers.  Strategic investors enter.

    ¡°Could it be that this young man in front of me has some magic bullet that can convince Old John that he has already put his hands into the Pfizer company that Anderson has been caring for for decades?

    "Jack, I wonder how much you know about citric acid?" Wang Geng asked Morgan casually.

    "Citric acid, isn't that Pfizer's house business? However, due to the war, the production and export of concentrated citrus juice from Italy and the UK has been greatly reduced. Anderson and his Pfizer are probably going to have a headache because of this!" Jack said obviously.  Know a lot about Pfizer and Anderson.

    "So what do you think of the citric acid business? Is Morgan interested in investing in the chemical industry and citric acid?" Wang Geng released the bait!

    "Investment is the core business of JP Morgan. Of course, we remain concerned and interested in any industry that can make money. However, in my opinion, if Pfizer, a giant citric acid production giant in the chemical industry, cannot sustain itself, outsiders must participate.  In this industry, I¡¯m afraid it will be a bloody mess!¡±

    Jack Morgan is obviously not that easy to fool. Could it be that the young man in front of him has invented some new citric acid formula?

    He remembered that at Edison's 70th birthday dinner not long ago, old John from Pfizer, who was also present at the banquet, vowed that the Pfizer laboratory, which had been built with a lot of money, had been officially in operation for several months, and he hoped to soon develop the citric acid production process and formula.  breakthrough.

    Could it be that the boastful Chinese in front of me has ruined this matter?

    Jack Morgan looked at Wang Geng across from him with a suspicious look on his face.
