Chapter 302: Poisonous Tongue
After Buffett left, John fulfilled his promise and asked Goldman Sachs, Black Rock, Blackstone, Vanguard, and Fidelity to stop acquiring Berkshire Hathaway's shares, and transfer all the acquired shares to Blackstone, which was responsible for sending directors to Berkshire Hathaway, and all profit dividends were also handed over to Blackstone.
Blackstone was the latest and smallest of the five, so John supported Blackstone, and the other four companies had nothing to say because the group had supported them when they were weak.
After settling the Berkshire Hathaway affair, John asked Dean Morgan to start buying back IBM shares in the stock market until they were finished.
After all these things were arranged, John finally called the elder Morgan, handed over the rights and reported the results to the elder Morgan.
Of course, although the confrontation with Buffett was a bit embarrassing, he still did not hide it, and told the whole process as it was.
Sometimes it's not a shame to lose, it's a shame to be afraid to face it.
In fact, the elder Morgan did not blame John, and this was not a failure, but John really ate Berkshire Hathaway in one bite, and he would not be satisfied.
It doesn't matter if the Morgan family loses, just win it back next time, the important thing is to be restrained in life and work, know how to retreat, understand the overall situation, and take care of the general situation.
The Morgan family is no longer the Morgan family in the initial entrepreneurial period, and it cannot be as careless as it was at the beginning, as a family standing at the top of the food chain, it must have its own style and take care of its own image.
If it is an opponent of equal strength, the Morgan family can make a deadly hand, and no one will say anything, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain.
But if you kill the weak, like an adult slapping a child, it is a bit undignified.
So John's approach Old Morgan expressed great satisfaction, as for Buffett, as he himself said, he is just an ant, Old Morgan will not let go of his identity to deal with such a little ant, this kind of thing is left to John to do.
After calling old Morgan and taking care of everything, John immediately prepared to take Ariana to go shopping, this guy knew that John was going to take her to the street today and didn't even eat breakfast, and was going to save his stomach to eat John's big family.
John was speechless about Ariana's behavior, and could only shake his head helplessly and take Ariana to the garage.
After arriving at the garage, Ariana was unhappy, kicked the wheel of John's second-hand Buick, and pouted: "Brother JK, you are going to let me ride in this car." ”
"What's wrong with this car?"
John was upset, his second-hand Buick had been bought for thousands of dollars, and it wasn't garbage collected from the scrapyard.
"This car doesn't fit my identity at all. Ariana glanced at the second-hand Buick with disgust, she is the daughter of the Rockefeller family, a person with a net worth of tens of billions, and more importantly, she is also a beauty, how can she sit in such a rustic car?
"Hey!" John was completely upset when he heard her say, "You think I'm your brother Charles? ”
John said and turned his head to look at Dani on the side and shouted: "Dani, tomorrow someone will buy Lamborghini, and he will not be allowed to sell the car to Charles in the future, I will see how he burns the bag." John didn't wait for Dani to answer, just pulled the car door and got into the car.
John's teeth itch when he thinks of Charles's Lamborghini sports car, and the last time this guy met John and left, he deliberately stepped on the gas pedal so hard that John smelled a lot of car exhaust.
"Miss Ariana, the boss is such a person, get in the car!" Daini persuaded from the side.
Ariana had no choice but to open the car door with her mouth open, and sat in cautiously, looking like she was afraid that the interior of the car would stain her clothes.
"Fasten your seatbelts. ”
When John saw Ariana and Dani come in, he gave a command, started the car, and slowly drove out of the garage.
Ariana twisted her little head and looked at the Cadillac trailing behind her with great envy, she didn't understand that the secret service drove a Cadillac, but John drove a second-hand Buick, which was simply a pervert.
And John looked at her appearance and shook his head speechlessly, the daughters of rich families are like this, no way, this kind of thing can't be taught, her circle is like this.
The car soon arrived at Beverly Hills, and John parked in front of Patek Philippe, where he had ordered a few watches a few years ago and wanted to see how long it would take for them to be ready.
Ariana got out of the car and became cheerful, she belonged to the kind of person who had no heart and no lungs, she had long forgotten everything in the garage, and now when she saw the store of Patek Philippe, she ran directly into it happily.
"Welcome!"
John and Dani followed Ariana into Patek Philippe, and the waiter was still as welcoming, except that the waiter who had greeted him a few years ago was nowhere to be seen.
John looked around, there were not many customers in the store, only a pair of men and women, the man in his 40s, dressed as a successful person in a suit and leather shoes, and the woman in his 20s, a sexy costume and a bird leaning against the successful person, holding a women's watch in his hand charming.
After taking a look, John walked to the sofa to receive customers and sat down, he wanted to wait for the couple to buy the watch before asking the waiter to call the manager out, so as not to have time to clear the scene like last time, if this is the case, this woman will definitely greet his eight generations of ancestors, John thinks it is better not to disturb these old people, he has time to wait today.
"Sir, Miss, please have coffee. ”
The waiter saw him and Dani sitting on the sofa, and hurriedly poured three cups of coffee and brought them over.
John didn't look like a watchmaker, but Patek Philippe didn't mind wasting three cups of coffee.
"Thank you!"
John nodded in thanks, took the coffee from the waiter's hand and put it on the table, he didn't drink it, and he ate all the food that no one brought.
After Ariana entered the store, she was even more cheerful, not only walking around the store and looking at it, but also commenting on the watches at the counter from time to time, like a watch expert.
John didn't want to care about her, it was a big deal to buy her a piece when the time came, it wasn't much of a problem.
And Ariana just walked and watched, and gradually came to the side of the man and woman.
After the sexy woman saw Ariana coming, she felt a little unhappy, she was coaxing the man next to her, and now it was the most critical moment, she didn't want anyone to disturb her.
"I hate people who can't afford to come in and see it, buzzing like flies. ”
The sexy woman's voice sounded yin and yang, and it was difficult for Ariana not to hear it, in fact, not only Ariana, but even John and Dani who were sitting on the sofa heard it.
"Hey!"
John sighed when he heard the woman's words, shook his head helplessly, and walked over.
Dani also walked behind John, looking at John's back, Dani felt that although John was a little fierce to Ariana, he still cared about Ariane.
But in fact, Dani was completely wrong this time, where John cared about Ariana, he was concerned about the sexy woman.
Who is Ariana?
A typical poisonous tongue and a master who is not too big to cause trouble, the United States does not know how many juniors of wealthy families have been cheated by her, and a civilian woman will be her opponent?
So John didn't worry that Ariana would suffer, but mourned for the woman, who are you not easy to mess with, but you want to provoke Ariana, aren't you looking for unhappiness for yourself?
