Chapter 0091 Meet Morgan (Ask for Recommendation, Collection)
When he saw sitting quietly at the dining table, meticulously taking care of his suit, and looking at the figure outside the window, Li Zitao said politely: "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Although the Morgan family is a typical financial predator, he is not relentless when he wields a sickle to cut meat, but Li Zitao still respects him.
To be able to get to where Morgan is today, no matter how it was achieved, is admirable.
The kind of brain-dead behavior of scaring the sky and the earth at every turn, Lao Tzu first, and God second, is not Li Zitao's character.
"You may be seated, Lee. ”
Little Morgan smiled and said, "I don't need to apologize, it's me who came early." ”
Seeing him sit down, little Morgan looked out the window again and said with emotion: "I haven't been like this for a long time, sit quietly and enjoy the time." ”
Seeing the tiredness and yearning on Little Morgan's face, Li Zitao almost didn't vomit blood.
Big guy, you beep and I was caught off guard, and I almost broke my old waist.
That's all you !!
Believe it or not, if those homeless people hear this, pink eye attacks will occur every minute?
But little Morgan's fragility is fleeting, and he has no time to feel nostalgia and weakness in his current position, which will only make him change from hunter to prey.
"I've noticed you since your first time at JP. Morgan, Lee. Little Morgan methodically spread out the cloth in front of him, as if talking to himself.
"It is precisely because of your heavy bet on the stock market and early withdrawal that I can boldly speculate on the risks of the stock market and avoid a lot of losses, thank you. ”
Little Morgan's praise didn't inflate him, and he was well aware that the other party was exaggerating his role.
How large were JP. Morgan's assets before the Great Depression?
70 billion US dollars!!
That's 70 billion, not 700.
With a small move by Li Zitao, can JP. Morgan change his strategy?
If he really thinks so, it's not inflation, it's called retardation!!
Perhaps his actions served as a wake-up call, but by no means as exaggerated as little Morgan claimed.
As a salted fish, Li Zitao's biggest advantage is that he can correct his position at any time, never fill water, never inflate.
You must know that those who float to the sky generally die miserably, and it is better to lie down obediently.
"Mr. Morgan is too modest, a financial analyst at JP. Morgan, but a genius that the entire financial world is looking for. Li Zitao held Little Morgan painlessly.
With an indifferent smile, little Morgan put down his wine glass, and changed his words: "Li, do you know Morgan's movements in Africa?"
"I don't know much. Li Zitao took a sip of wine and said.
"That fertile land rich in resources hides rich mineral treasures. ”
"Is there any connection here? Could it be that Morgan wants to meddle in the industry?" Li Zitao doesn't quite understand, why do you pay attention to finance?
I haven't seen the oil tycoon Rockefeller is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?
"American Steel Company!" said little Morgan without a clue.
Li Zitao frowned, probably figured it out, some time ago the newspaper seemed to say that the American Iron and Steel Company had surveyed several new mines in Africa.
"Does anyone dare to hit your attention?" asked Li Zitao with some surprise.
"Of course they won't be under their own banner, but what if they are natives!" little Morgan looked at him in a light, meaningful tone.
If you dare to do this, you don't need to ask to know that there is the support of the great powers behind you, otherwise who dares to easily offend the Morgan consortium, this is a real giant.
Maybe those natives were originally pretended to be by the army, so they are good chicken thieves.
"Do you want to use the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. under me?" Knowing the other party's purpose, Li Zitao was not in a hurry.
"Yes, Morgan is being watched very closely by Congress, and some enemies who are not friendly to us are actively operating and want to use antitrust laws against us. ”
A hint of gloom flashed in little Morgan's eyes, if it weren't for that, they could have formed their own armed forces.
But now is the wrong time, they must be careful not to be caught by the enemy.
As for why he directly stated the reason to his face, it is because it is no longer a secret, and Congress's actions against Morgan have not been a year or two.
It's just that as time goes on, their movements get bigger and more deadly.
Moreover, Morgan's internal opinion on whether to form an armed force is not unanimous, and many shareholders do not believe that this is necessary.
It's good to hire when you need it, and there's nothing in this world that money can't buy.
Armed forces under the banner of Morgan?
It will stain their external image and reputation with blood, which is not a good start.
As an American giant, Morgan also has allies in the military, but the key problem is that the military is sometimes not suitable to come forward.
Where are the colonies of the great powers that you want to garrison in the United States?
"Why, look down on me, believe it or not, Lao Tzu flips the table?"
"What benefits can I get?" asked Li Zitao.
"I heard you want to meddle in the West. Morgan Jr. said with a 'I know you' look.
Li Zitao was not surprised, nodded and said: "Yes, I want those bankrupt mortgaged land, minerals and railway lines." ”
Little Morgan frowned slightly, Li Zitao's appetite was bigger than he imagined.
There is no problem with the land, there is no problem with the minerals, anyway, they are just some insignificant small mines, and American Steel does not care at all.
But when it comes to railway lines, Morgan Jr. doesn't want to let go.
It is important to know that in the process of developing the western region, in order to ensure transportation and attract private investment and private capital, federal and state laws have a large number of subsidies and tax exemptions.
Railroads are subsidized at $12,000 per mile in plain areas, $25,000 per mile in hilly areas, and $40,000 per mile in hilly areas.
And not only that, but after each section of the railroad is built, you can also get ownership of the land along the line, which is ten miles wide on each side.
Morgan values the land that comes with it, and to go deeper, they value minerals and oil that have a chance to occur underground.
Although this probability is very small, no one can deny that it is possible.
"How much money are you going to put into it?" asked Morgan Jr., looking up.
"$100 million. Li Zitao raised a finger and said confidently.
"Lee, your gains in the stock market are enviable. Little Morgan was a little jealous.
If the other party made this money in another field, even if it was 1 billion or 2 billion, he would only express surprise.
But finance is Morgan's domain, and Morgan people have always believed that they are the best financiers in the world.
Now turn your head and look at it, Li Zitao has single-handedly collected more than 400 million US dollars in the stock market.
Let's take a look at their performance, they invested a lot of energy and capital before and after, and the final profit was only half of that of the other party.
Originally, he was very proud of this, but now he only felt the burning of his cheeks.
Although Morgan also predicted the collapse, they did not anticipate a terrible shock to the entire financial system in the United States.
This also makes them lose a lot of operational space and benefits, and by the time they react, the best time has been missed.
Morgan Jr. lowered his head and pondered, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount, this money is enough to take a quarter of the collateral.
Morgan needs to think about the gains and losses, and know that there are not a few high-quality properties in those collaterals.
Or that most of the loans that can be used as collateral in JP Morgan are high-quality properties, and he has to think about whether it is worth it.
"Okay, I agreed. Little Morgan looked up and said.
He decided to agree to Li Zitao's terms, which would not only allow him to get cash flow, but also reduce the attention of Congress.
With the turmoil of the situation, the future Morgan needs this force, and for Morgan, who stands at the top of the American pyramid, the current international situation is not very stable.
Some information that ordinary people can't see and don't understand has its own special meaning in Morgan's eyes, and the timing of this disaster is fantastic.
But the first thing to be solved now is the small troubles in Africa.
In just one month, 12 employees lost their lives, forcing them to evacuate their employees and abandon the mine they were working.
During this time, every day represents the interests that should belong to him, and he is being seized by those robbers, and little Morgan hates it when he thinks of it.
Don't think that the big guys don't have joys and sorrows, they just don't show their faces.
If it had been possible, little Morgan would have killed the bandits with a bomb himself.
"Deal. Li Zitao's fist under the table clenched fiercely, forced himself to calm down, and beckoned to Ai Mo who was not far away.
"Call Ben and tell him to drop what he's doing and get to New York as soon as possible. Hearing Li Zitao's command, a hint of joy flashed in Aimo's eyes, and he hurriedly walked to the phone.
In Morgan's subconscious, he also disagrees with forming his own armed forces, and they are financiers, not violent people.
Sometimes image is very important, and once it gives the outside world the impression that Morgan's hands are stained with blood, it is a fatal blow to their career.
As for whether Li Zitao will get out of control, Morgan is not worried at all.
His skin color is destined for his development, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't reach the top in this white supremacy country.
This also means that he will not become a threat to Morgan, thinking of this, little Morgan couldn't help but say indifferently with some emotion: "It's a pity." ”
Li Zitao didn't know that he would become a pitiful object, if he knew, he would definitely immediately cry bitterly, sell miserably and pretend to be poor, and take the opportunity to earn another wave of benefits.
After talking about business, little Morgan got up to say goodbye after taking two bites at random, for him who is in charge of huge assets, every minute is precious.
Li Zitao didn't stay, and after the two sides agreed to start contact tomorrow, he watched little Morgan walk out of the restaurant, and then continued to sit in his seat and feast.
"Charlie, have you talked about it?" Juliana, who had just been making soy sauce with Aimo, came over.
"Yes. Li Zitao nodded, and did not forget to stuff food into his mouth.
He will be really hungry, he simply ate a little in the morning, and before leaving, he spent a lot of physical strength on the comprehensive maintenance of the anti-aircraft gun mount, and he didn't eat at all, how could he be called miserable!
"Is that pocket watch really given to you by Uncle White?" asked Juliana.
"If you don't believe him, ask him!" Li Zitao said without raising his head, his attitude was extremely perfunctory.
This woman is doing wind and rain behind his back, and she thinks he doesn't know anything?
If he hadn't been unable to figure out her origin, Li Zitao would have pressed her on the dining table to 'snap' to death.
"I will. ”
Juliana didn't care about his indifferent attitude, and turned away with a complicated expression.
She needed to talk to Wise, the value of the watch itself was not important, but the meaning behind it had to be taken seriously by Juliana.
If it was really as she thought, their previous judgments would be reversed, and the potential they possessed was probably not even realized by him.
"Sooner or later, I'll kill you!" Swallowing half of the steak, Li Zitao stared at her swaying buttocks with fierce eyes, beckoned and said, "5 more steaks." ”
