Chapter 738: A Night Visit to Morgan

……

The United States has the longest rail network in the world, at 220,000 kilometers. However, the equipment is old, and the degree of electrification is only 1,600 kilometers. The huge aviation market and strong car culture have made railway companies pay more attention to freight transportation. In the whole of the United States, there is hardly a single decent passenger rail company to be found, except for the National Railroad Passenger Company.

In addition, before the well-known California high-speed rail, the United States was not really a high-speed rail desert. Under Amtrak Passenger Transport, there is a 'Asile Express' high-speed rail.

The high-speed railway, which runs through the Northeast Corridor of the United States, connecting Washington, D.C. and Boston, via Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, is the first true high-speed train in North America, with a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour. It travels at an average speed of about 115 km/h, which is only about half of its top speed.

Even so, it was enough for Guo Shouyun. After all, Washington is no more than four hundred kilometers from New York. It's not a waste of time to spend 4 hours experiencing the different flavors of American railroads.

"Boss, we're in New York!"

In the luxurious two-person sleeper of Amtrak Passenger Transport, Wang Jue reminded.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and put away the "Barbarian at the Door" co-authored by Brianborough and John Hillier in his hand. It's not the first time he's read this book, but every time he reads it, he has a different harvest. The takeover battle around Reynolds Nabac brought together all the financial forces on Wall Street. Although more than 10 years have passed, he can still be greatly inspired by the financial beings shown in it. So this book is also one of the few books that Guo Shouyun often takes out on his desk and reads.

When he left Washington, Guo Shouyun only brought Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing, as well as four bodyguards, including Matthew. The car is easy to follow, so it is very convenient to get on and off the bus.

Because of the light makeup, coupled with the American face blindness of Asians, no one recognized this tall and athletic Chinese American as the top big man in the American business world!

As for Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing, from the appearance of Chinese beauties in the eyes of Americans exposed by the media, you know that in their eyes, the melon seed face with a slender body and delicate facial features is definitely not a beauty! The Kardashian-style stunner with rich breasts and fat buttocks and a sexy mouth is their favorite.

Although the Kunpeng has diverted attention, Guo Shouyun still chooses to keep it as secret as possible when he comes to New York this time. So after leaving the train station, he didn't call the company or the bodyguards at Long Island Villa to send a car to pick him up. Instead, I took a taxi and stayed in a three-star hotel in New York City.

"Matthew?"

"What do you command?" Matthew, who heard the call, hurriedly walked over and answered.

"Arrange a car...!"

Guo Shouyun explained seriously. Knowing Matthew, he quickly left to prepare.

"Boss, why don't we go back to the villa on Long Island directly?" Wang Jue said curiously.

"Of course I want to go back. But I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at it. As soon as I entered the house, I guess all the powerful people in New York would know that I was in New York. By then, the four hours we had spent on the railroad would have been in vain. ”

As Guo Shouyun's wealth and power continue to rise, his agenda has also become the information that countless institutions want to know. In particular, Mr. Stan O'Neill, the CEO of Merrill Lynch, sent a car to watch outside the forest on Long Island every time he came to New York.

Although he was about to start a battle with this guy for control of Merrill Lynch, Guo Shouyun still admired his perseverance.

Of course, besides Stan O'Neill, there are many other people who are interested in him. For example, the Schiff family, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, etc.

"Wang Jue, Xiaojing, now Merrill Lynch's acquisition has reached a critical period. We had to get the deal done before Stan O'Neill noticed the change. No amount of caution can be overdone until this is achieved. ”

"Yes!"

After the two responded at the same time, Wu Xiaojing said, "Then what should we do now?"

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

Guo Shouyun looked at the scorching afternoon sun outside, and nodded slowly with a calm expression.

Time passed little by little, and the winter night came much earlier than spring and summer. When the neon lights covered the whole city, Guo Shouyun finally waited for the answer he wanted after dinner.

After the phone rang, Guo Shouyun pressed the answer button as soon as possible.

"Boss, the target has gone home. ”

"Do you want someone else to visit besides the target?"

"Aside from the target's family, no suspicious figures have been noted at this time. ”

"Got it, where are you waiting. I'll be over quickly. ”

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun took out his suit and changed into it. The old nobleman was very respectful of etiquette, and he didn't want to make a mistake in this regard and make any chance of failure in the negotiations tonight.

"Boss, are you going out?"

Looking at Guo Shouyun in a straight suit, Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing were surprised.

"Well, go out for a while, you can stay here, and I'll be back soon." ”

After saying that, he didn't explain much, and turned around and went downstairs with Matthew.

After getting into Matthew's pre-prepared car, merge along East Houston Street onto Park Avenue and head south across the Manhattan Bridge into Long Island.

As the destination gets closer, the surrounding traffic becomes sparse. After the car turned the corner, another car that had been waiting here followed suit. The two cars came one after the other to the outside of a vast manor.

After inspecting the manor outside in the dark through the car window, Guo Shouyun took out his mobile phone, found the number in the phone book and pressed it.

After the bell rang a few times, it was quickly connected.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Morgan, I hope this call didn't disturb your rest!"

"I didn't bother, but to my surprise, Mr. Guo would call me at night. ”

"And something that surprised Mr. Morgan even more!"

"Oh?

"I want to meet Mr. Morgan. ”

"Okay, when?"

"Now!"

"What? now?" said Morgan, the elder of the country, "Mr. Guo, do you know that it's nine o'clock in the evening? Besides, you're not going back to San Francisco... Wait, you're in New York now?"

"I'm not just in New York. And right now it's outside Mr. Morgan's house!"

While speaking, Guo Shouyun waved his hand out of the window, and the bodyguard who got the order walked to the gate of Morgan Manor and rang the doorbell.

“… I think Mr. Morgan will soon receive a request from the butler. ”

"Knock...!"

Through his mobile phone, Guo Shouyun faintly heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Guo really gave me a big surprise. But I'm more curious about the purpose of your late-night visit. ”

"After the meeting, Mr. Morgan will naturally be clear. ”

"That's right... Wait a minute, I'll have someone open the door for you. ”

"Okay, I'll see you later!"

"See you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun waited for about five minutes. The originally closed courtyard doors slowly opened to both sides. Looking at the hardened road in front of him that led directly to the interior of the manor, without Guo Shouyun's orders, the bodyguards had already started the car and drove in.

After rounding a fountain square, the car stopped in front of the main villa of the manor.

After Guo Shouyun got out of the car, an old man with gorgeous hair who was wearing a straight suit and meticulously dressed greeted him with a smile.

This person, Guo Shouyun, had already met him once when he visited Morgan Manor last time.

"Mr. Brown!" Guo Shouyun greeted.

Charles Brown, the old housekeeper of the Morgan family, has been working here for nearly 40 years, taking care of three generations of the Morgan family. Highly respected within the Morgan family.

"Mr. Guo, the master is waiting for you in the reception room. Ask me to come. ”

"Thank you!"

Under the leadership of Charles's housekeeper, Guo Shouyun came to the living room of the Morgan family's main building. This is the second time Guo Shouyun has come.

"Please!"

After he opened the door, Guo Shouyun stepped in. By this time, Frederick Peabody Morgan, who was already fully dressed, had already got up to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Morgan, it is an honor to have the opportunity to visit again. ”

"It is also my honor to receive a distinguished guest like Mr. Guo... You may be seated!"

"Thank you!"

After the two were seated, Charles Brown served the two of them the prepared tea.

"Mr. Morgan has a heart, thank you!" smelling the long-lost fragrance of tea, Guo Shouyun said.

"It's good if Mr. Guo likes it!" After examining his expression, old Morgan got straight to the point, "I don't know the purpose of Mr. Guo's late-night visit, can I say it now?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, stared at each other with his eyes and said, "I want to acquire the 5.83% stake in Merrill Lynch held by the Morgan Family Fund." ”

"Merrill Lynch's equity?" said the elder Morgan's heart, "Mr. Guo plans to acquire Merrill Lynch?"

At this point, there is no need to hide at all.

"That's right!"

"I remember last year, Harvey wanted to exchange this part of the equity for investment opportunities in Google and Ruby, but Mr. Guo refused?

Harvey Peabody Morgan, the second son of Morgan Sr. He is also the core member of the Morgan family who has the closest relationship with Guo Shouyun.

"Because at that time I wasn't ready to buy Merrill Lynch. Accepting the deal will only make Stan O'Neill wary and completely lose the possibility of acquiring Merrill Lynch. So, even if I wanted it at the time, I had to say no. ”

"I see!" After a pause, "So, now Mr. Guo is ready to buy Merrill Lynch?"

"Yes!"

"Can you tell us a little bit?"

"I already own 46.7% of Merrill Lynch!" Guo Shouyun nodded and smiled.

Old Morgan's pupils constricted instantly, this news is really amazing!
