    Looking back, Wang Geng's gains in the past few days are quite amazing. Three days ago, on February 24th, Wang Geng, who was originally a Chinese cadet at West Point Military Academy, got a day off because of his birthday and could arrive on Saturday.  Came to New York to take care of some personal matters.

    As it happened, while walking on the Brooklyn Bridge, I was possessed by the soul of Wang Geng, a graduate student at the National Defense University who fell from the sky in later generations. He staged a scene of jumping from the 41-meter-high bridge into the East River in New York to save someone.  splendid chapter.

    The very next day, Sunday, February 25, 1917, Wang Geng was awarded the honorary title of Honorary Citizen of New York by the Mayor of New York. After attending the press conference and meeting the family of the rescued little girl, Wang Geng was  Climb out the window.

    The 70-year-old Edison, the great inventor of General Electric Company, exchanged his invention of a torpedo mechanism for fifty thousand dollars in cigarette money. Then the next day, Monday, February 26, 1917, the guy used it again.  The credit gained from the $50,000 deal with Edison the night before served as a stepping stone.

    With the invention of a new citric acid production process, he successfully deceived Pfizer and John Anderson, becoming Pfizer's major shareholder with a 65% controlling stake, and his net worth jumped to tens of millions of dollars.

    Immediately afterwards, this guy struck while the iron was hot and used the restructuring deal with Pfizer to successfully but difficultly persuade Jack Morgan, the current head of the Morgan family, to use Jack Morgan's personal investment of 22 million US dollars in Wang Geng plus his own investment in Wang Geng.  Pfizer owns 65% of the shares and established Manhattan Industrial Bank, which Wang Geng holds 51% of, to invest in bonds and stocks.

    On the morning of February 27, 1917, it was a memorable historical moment. Manhattan Industrial Bank was officially established, and US$22 million was officially received. The company had only two partners, a Chinese who owned 51% of the shares and controlling rights.  Wang Geng, and Vivian, a former account manager at Morgan Stanley's Park Avenue branch in New York, who owns 49% of the shares.

    The registered address of Manhattan Industrial Bank is at 23 Wall Street. Wang Geng and Vivian¡¯s offices are on the top floor of the Morgan headquarters at 23, next to the huge and maze-like office of Jack Morgan, the current head of Morgan.

    Without permission, no one can go directly to the top floor of Morgan's headquarters. This is the core and brain of the Morgan family and the Morgan consortium. Usually only a dozen or so people can come up. Most of them are Morgan's partners, and a small number are Jack.  .Morgan's top deputy and secretary.

    As the head of the Morgan family, Jack Morgan cannot match the popularity of his father. The Rockefeller family, led by a group of gangsters, never forgets to cause chaos to the Morgan consortium. However, whether in the United States or New York, it doesn't matter.  Whether in Manhattan or Wall Street, no one can stop Jack Old Man from doing what he wants to do.

    For example, in just one morning, Manhattan Industrial Bank was officially established after Wang Geng signed and submitted a series of documents that had been prepared.

    Of course, the corporate account of Manhattan Industrial Bank is still opened at Morgan Bank. As an investment bank, the registration and registration procedures are much simpler than that of a commercial savings bank.

    Vivian felt that everything was like a dream. Yesterday, she was an account manager at the Park Avenue branch of Morgan Company, starting from the bottom. The young man in front of her was just an upstart who unearthed $50,000 from the inventor Thomas Edison.  household.

    In just 24 hours, such a big change has occurred. The head of Morgan did not know what happened to his daughter last night, but when Vivian was about to go out in the morning, she was stopped by her father, and the father and daughter came together.  Old Jack's bulletproof Cadillac Model 55 sedan.

    On the way to 23 Wall Street, Vivian learned that her father was going to invest US$22 million in Wang Geng's Manhattan Industrial Bank in exchange for 49% of the shares, and she was the selected shareholder.

    In other words, the account manager and client yesterday morning, the beauty in distress and the rescue hero who fell from the sky last night, have become partners of a brand new investment bank - Manhattan Industrial Bank this morning.

    The office that Old Jack arranged for his daughter and Wang Geng is also as huge as a maze. In fact, it is the same office that Jack used when he was the successor to Old J.P. Morgan.

    Living room, conference room, countless rooms with secretaries and assistants, Wang Geng's large office, a door on the side leads to a small corridor, opposite is the old Jack Morgan's kingdom, another door  Leading to Vivian's office.

    Both of their offices have a small living room outside, a small bedroom at the back, and a private bathroom. They also have separate exits and doors leading to the corridor.

    At this time, Vivian was in Wang Geng's office, sitting on the sofa opposite the executive desk. Dressed in a well-fitting professional suit, Vivian regained her ol style. Of course, Wang Geng, who was behind the executive desk opposite, had oily hair and pink hair.  Being ?Waxing it can kill flies!

    "Vivian, or should I call you Jane? Thank you for lending me your car yesterday. Otherwise, if I was stopped by a patrol car while wandering on Madison Avenue at midnight, I wouldn't be able to explain the many knives and guns in my pocket.  , the police on patrol in Manhattan can¡¯t be satisfied with just hot dogs!¡±

    Wang Geng held Vivian's car key in his hand and shook it gently. He decided to go to the car dealership today to buy a transportation tool. Of course, the Ford Model T could not be used. A hand-started car was like in the Stone Age.  It would be nice to spend $2,000 on a Cadillac 55, at least it has electric start without the need for a crank handle.

    "Jane is the name of the Morgan family. Now my name is Vivian. Thank you for showing up last night. It turns out that you were a guest at our house last night. This is the first time I have seen my father invite a young man to my house for dinner alone!  "Vivian's face turned slightly red and she looked at Wang Geng who seemed to be a different person across from him.

    Yesterday during the day, he looked like a slovenly nouveau riche wearing a women's scarf. Last night, he looked like a savior descending from the sky. Although he was awe-inspiring with a hint of violence, the face under the scarf was more righteous and bright after all.

    Today, Vivian had a strange feeling. Wang Geng behind the executive desk seemed to have completed a huge transformation, and now he looked like a young but successful investment banker!

    Under the same circumstances, Vivian herself suddenly had a net worth of tens of millions, but the kind and beautiful account manager could not adapt to such a change for a while. In front of Wang Geng, the eldest daughter of the Morgan family actually looked like a female college student coming for an interview.  Just as restrained.

    "Okay, then I'll call you Vivian. You can call me Wang, or Geng, or simply Wang Geng. Anyway, I don't have that word that Chinese people often use!" Wang Geng said with a smile.

    "Wang Geng, my father only told me to obey you in everything. What does our Manhattan Industrial Bank do?" Vivian couldn't help but ask.

    With a huge office, countless rooms and telephones, located at the daunting 23 Wall Street, this Manhattan Industrial Bank only has two employees, Wang Geng and Vivian.

    "Since it is called Industrial Bank, obviously Manhattan Industrial is an investment bank. We do whatever makes money, but the main thing is investment in industry! Beautiful General Manager of Manhattan Industrial Bank, are you still satisfied with the business card I designed?"

    Wang Geng pushed a box of elegantly bound business cards from the table. The logo of Manhattan Industrial Bank was designed by Wang Geng. Before leaving Old Jack's study last night, the guy drew a logo. It was a figure with wings spread.  m, below are the two letters ib.  Obtained are the two initials of Industrial Bank.

    According to Wang Geng¡¯s opinion, sooner or later it will be replaced by a JG, which will probably be more bluffing!

    Vivian¡¯s title is partner and general manager, while Wang Geng¡¯s business card is partner and executive director.

    "Is there an eagle on this logo? Why does it look more like a bat?" Vivian looked at it for a long time and felt that the letter "M" mentioned by Wang Geng didn't look like an eagle, but looked more like a bat. The girl couldn't bear it.  Zhu joked.

    "Why is it a bat?" Wang Geng took his box of business cards over and took a look.

    Nima, is not just printed into a black bat. There is no eagle with the eagle under the head in the middle, but there are two small tip ears on it.

    "Unexpected! Unexpected! But bats are also an auspicious thing in China, a good sign! Bats are blessings! Good sign!" Wang Geng patted his head and found the steps for himself.

    "Mr. Executive Director, what is the next work plan of our Manhattan Industrial Bank?" Vivian asked, holding back her laughter.
