Chapter 838 was treated as a fat sheep
Philip Brothers, founded more than 70 years ago, is a well-known large-scale public financial institution on Wall Street, with a market value of more than $4 billion.
What underpins its high share price is its strength and position in the commodity futures trading market.
Philip Brothers is the world's largest commodity futures trader, with offices in 45 countries and more than 160 commodities.
It can be said that the Philip Brothers company stomped its feet, and the futures industry had to shake.
The Philip Brothers Company has been able to grow to this point without the efforts of the late brothers Gavin Philip and Jess Philip, but the Philip Brothers Company has also been able to grow to this point without the help of the Jewish community.
That's right, the Philip brothers, both Italian-Jews, came to the United States at the beginning of this century to work hard, and during this period, they were able to rise rapidly with the help of the Jewish community on Wall Street.
Of course, many of the shares of the Philip Brothers Company are also distributed among the various Jewish families, and the largest shareholding is the Philip Family Foundation, which holds 27.8 percent of the shares.
It's just that since the death of the Philip brothers, although there have been many elites in the Philip family, their abilities have not reached the level of running the Philip Brothers company.
Therefore, after breaking away from the founders, Philip Brothers embarked on the path that most American companies would take, looking for outstanding partners to lead Philip Brothers to continue to grow.
Over the past decade, the company has gradually faded its family color, but its internal relationships have become more and more complicated, and even involved in the battles of major family consortia, which can be seen from the list of shareholders of the company Philip Brothers.
Who made Philip Brothers the largest commodity futures trading company?
On this day, the sky was clear, and it was a good day to play golf.
Albert Rafael, director and executive vice president of Philip Brothers and general manager of Rare Metals Investments, made a low-key visit to the New York golf course.
Here, he met an old man with curly blond hair in a suit and leather shoes who had asked him out, Sidda Allen, a director of the First National Bank of Chicago.
"Albert, it's 8:59:30 and you're almost late. ”
Sidda Allen shook hands with Albert Raphael and joked.
Albert Raphael shrugged and smiled, "Isn't it not that I'm not late yet?" Sida, you know, I'm always on time!"
"OK, that's punctual enough, let's go. ”
Hilda Allen smiled nonchalantly, and the two of them walked together towards the pre-booked Court 8.
After a while, the two changed into sportswear, picked up clubs and went to the grassy course to play golf while chatting.
Albert Raphael asked about the First National Bank of Chicago's investment intentions and the specific situation inside the bank, while Hilda Allen was emotional about the internal situation at Philip Brothers.
Regarding these unspeakable information, the two seem to have no scruples about chatting.
Of course, if you know the relationship between the two, you can understand it.
Although Albert Raphael was a director of Philip Brothers, his directorship was given to him by the First National Bank of Chicago because the First National Bank of Chicago held 5.4 percent of the shares of Philip Brothers.
So Albert Rafael was the representative of the First National Bank of Chicago, and he was obliged to let the First National Bank of Chicago know the specifics of Philip Brothers.
As they chatted, Albert Raphael asked about Hilda Allen's true intentions, and he didn't believe that the latter had simply come from Chicago to ask him to play golf.
"Sida, do you have any orders from the company that I need to execute?"
Hilda Allen didn't reply immediately, but looked intently at the hole in the distance, and after finding the right position, she looked at the golf ball on the grass again, swinging the club with lightning speed, and her eyes followed the white ball.
"Wow, the ball is in, Sida, your skills have improved again. ”
Albert Raphael exclaimed.
Hilda Allen smiled, picked up the towel draped over her shoulders and wiped the sweat on her face, and said to Albert Raphael: "Albert, the company needs you to clean up someone. ”
Albert Raphael's curiosity was piqued.
The First National Bank of Chicago is the second most powerful bank among the four major financial cores of the Chicago consortium, and isn't the bank's focus now on developing the commercial loan and bond markets? Why did he suddenly give such an order?
Whose mean by this, exactly?
The chaos within the Chicago consortium comes to mind, the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, the McCormick Family, the Wood Family, and the Crane Family......
Thinking of this, Albert Raphael's head instantly grew and he shook his head slightly to clear these things that had nothing to do with him from his mind.
It doesn't matter who he means, he pretends not to know, and he just carries out the order.
"Sida, let's talk about it, I have to see if I can help, you know, there are obvious factions in the Philip Brothers company, mainly the Jewish department, they are too shrewd, although I am the vice president of the company, but I don't count many places. ”
Albert Rafael said helplessly, first get vaccinated.
Hilda Allen smiled and said, "If you can't do it, I won't look for you." ”
"There is a goal, we are long the New York Mercantile Exchange's advanced copper futures and aluminum futures, and the amount of money is not small, this is a fat sheep, only entered the US futures market this year, as long as it is operated well, it can make huge profits for Philip Brothers. ”
Albert Raphael's eyes froze, and he asked, "Which company is it, let's see if I know." ”
He is the general manager of the rare metal futures investment department of Philip Brothers, and each metal futures is invested by a different department under him, so he can get his hands on the advanced copper futures and aluminum futures mentioned by Sida Allen.
"Have you ever heard of the Galaxy Fund? It is a branch established by a Chinese in New York. ”
Sida Allen introduced.
Albert Raphael frowned, it felt a little familiar at first, but he couldn't remember it when he thought about it.
But he was sure that he had definitely seen the information about the Galaxy Fund somewhere before, perhaps mentioned it when his subordinates submitted the documents.
"I seem to have seen it somewhere, and I'll have to go back and find out better. ”
"Of course, if it is really as you said that it is a Chinese company that has just come to the United States this year, then I think it should not be difficult, I hope this company is really a fat sheep as you said, this year's metal first gold futures and the second silver futures have exploded, I urgently need new revenue to support my performance. ”
Albert Raphael said helplessly.
Hilda Allen smiled: "There is no need for you to investigate again, in order to save time, I have brought the most complete information, you can take a look." ”
With that, he turned back to the lounge area, took out a brown paper-wrapped document from his briefcase, and handed it to Albert Raphael.
Then he went into the room, poured a cup of coffee, found a chair and sat down, and drank it slowly.
Albert Raphael sat down next to Hilda Allen and slowly flipped through the information in his hand.
The more he looked, the more surprised his eyes became.
The strength of this Chinese branch is really not to be underestimated, no wonder Hilda Allen came to him specially to find him.
"It seems that there is a high-level battle involved again. Albert Raphael thought to himself.
After reading it, Albert Raphael pondered in his heart and asked, "Sida, how far do you need me to go?"
Hilda Allen put down the coffee, looked directly into the latter's eyes, and said solemnly: "Albert, the company has only one request, with the help of high-grade copper futures and aluminum futures, to absorb the funds of the Galaxy Fund to the greatest extent, and then harvest it in one fell swoop, and blow up the Galaxy Fund, the worse the better!"
If Sidda Allen's request can be successfully completed, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Philip Brothers, and with the help of huge profits, it can also add a lot of merit to him, no matter how you look at it, he has no reason to refuse.
Of course, in terms of risk, Albert Rafael did not underestimate it, but he also did not pay too much attention to it.
Investment is risky, but the size of the risk can be affected, and the key is to look at the strength.
Albert Raphael is confident that he is not as strong as the powerful Philip Brothers at the Galaxy Fund.
"Okay, Sida, just watch, I'll teach them well. ”
Albert Raphael said with a smile, his smile meaningful.
"Albert, looking forward to your performance!"
