Chapter 18: The Dragon Knights
Da Mo, it has been closed until two years ago before it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the first investment bank on Wall Street that dared to break the rules of the secret room and flip the table, the first hostile merger precedent in the closed circle of Wall Street, and the hostile intervention in Nike's acquisition of Philadelphia ESB batteries in 74 years, the hostile merger method that does not talk about face at all made it the king of World War I, the absolute king of investment banks in the seventies.
The next year after the incident, First Boston opened an M&A department, and the rest of the investment banks followed suit, stepping into each other's predatory fields and fighting with each other.
This also laid the foundation for the subsequent sub-debt crisis, when everyone on Wall Street saw death and did not save them, they just watched Lehman die coldly.
You must know that Lehman Brothers was the father of the dollar who saved the dollar in the Great Depression caused by the first dollar collapse, and even such a hero watched how it died, which was unthinkable in the old Morgan era, at that time, Wall Street was not as close as a family, that is, a family, the upper circle was completely closed, and the old rules were smashed by the traitor of the old Morgan Da Mo with a hammer, the classical era of Wall Street, just like the early classical hooligan era in China, the gangsters fought for righteousness, and the stubborn master was a play, regardless of identity, It is by no means for money, there is an indescribable special feeling, just after the first war in 74 years when Da Mo opened a precedent for hostile mergers and acquisitions, it officially ended.
Wall Street bid farewell to the classics and ushered in the Warring States Period, and was able to get the guiding document of the Da Mo Action Plan in this era, regardless of whether the document was true or false, just thinking about the possibility would make the head congested, and it was a very private thing that the founder of Da Mo could participate in the discussion, and it appeared in front of Da Kelly's eyes in such a grand manner.
Wall Street has never seen a precedent for daring to falsify investment bank action documents, laymen do not understand, insiders do not dare, low-level peers just guess each other, no one dares to fabricate such a thing in black and white, Big Kelly read all the documents, deduced for a few days, decided to make a move, began to carry out leveraged affirmative redemption VAM on the Greater Morocembourg SICAV exercise certificate, and included in the half-year and three-month income rights transfer contract of Gucci and other companies.
Even if it's fake, he admits it, and the money he loses should be used as a clapping of his hands for his peers who dare to play like this, teasing Da Mo, riding on Da Mo's head to play with the rat barn, and spitting out Da Mo's bubbles by the way.
So, by the end of March this year, in just a few months, Big Kelly earned three more Kelly Brothers, and received some invitations that were impossible to receive, and immediately found a security company, and sure enough, he successfully found a bug by his side, he is already considering a comprehensive security upgrade for the company, or simply relocate, Paramount Real Estate has taken a fancy to this building, and it is estimated that sooner or later it will have to move.
The third letter, which unsurprisingly arrived after the harvest period, did not ask a word about the question of profitability, nor did it mention the willingness to pay dividends, but it was like an order to his subordinates, asking McKelly to contact the current governor of New York, Mari Collo, the son of Colo, Jr., to express the position of his supporters, and after a series of defeats in his state legislature and mayor-governor, gradually increase his support for him, reveal the willingness of the donors at a favorable time, and propose that he seriously consider participating in the specific activities of the trilateral committee.
After receiving the third letter of order, Big Kelly didn't think much about why, he was already vaguely aware that he was being taken by a mysterious organization, and now was the time to show his ability, so he immediately launched a relationship, and on the second day after the contact meeting with Little Kolo, the news of Governor Kolo's activities appeared on ABC TV, and the next day, Little Kolo's low-key charity was discovered by the New York Times and reported, in an interview Little Collo said that he would continue to stand on the side of labor, Actively coordinate the relationship with the management......
That evening, little Chloe hosted a private dinner at home to entertain Big Kelly. A week later, the fourth letter with the crest of the Cross Scaly Dragon Regiment arrived.
Big Kelly's state of mind after reading the fourth letter was extremely complicated, first of all, his conjecture was confirmed, and he was glad that after he showed his ability to show his attitude, he was finally accepted by the mysterious organization called the Dragon Knights behind him. Unfortunately, even with his vigorous efforts, his position in the Dragon Knights was only that of an observational knight squire, and as soon as he heard the name Big Kelly, he knew that the organization behind him still did not trust him.
Then, like all Orthodox American Protestant whites, Big Kelly outwardly despises European aristocracy, but inwardly he is eager to participate in aristocratic activities, let alone join a mysterious organization of the nature of the classical Knights.
So, like a medieval fan, he began to explore the research journey of the Dragon Knights, and asked various friends about the information by himself, and all kinds of contradictory information filled his mind.
First of all, the 1408 on the pen holder must represent the year 1408 of the fifteenth century, and the abbreviation indicates that the Order of the Dragon was inherited from the Holy Roman Empire, founded by Sigismund, King of Hungary and Holy Roman Emperor, and not the same thing as the Order of St. George, established by George Prince of Wales for his father George III during his regent in 1818.
The Order of the Dragon was founded in the era of the Habsburg family in the Holy Roman Empire, whose family briefly wore the Holy Roman Empire crown for 18 years in the 13th century, from the Duke of Alsace in the sixth century to the first time in the 13th century, in the past 700 years, the Habsburgs became the royal family that wore the crown, thus opening a dizzying history of marriages, starting the Habsburg era of crowns and crowns everywhere in Europe.
The year 1291 was not only the last year of the Crusades, but also the year the Habsburgs lost the crown of the Holy Roman Empire for the first time. When the family wore the Holy Roman Crown 30 years after the founding of the Dragoons, it would be worn for nearly 400 years. The year it put back on the crown was also the year the Dragon Knights mysteriously disappeared.
At the end of the Crusades, the Vatican stopped ringing the bells, and the crown fell immediately, which alarmed the monarchs of Europe, whether in the city-states or large empires, monarchs began to recruit royal knights loyal to the monarch himself, rather than the noble lords of the princes and princes in the past.
The Knights of the Dragons began with only 21 Hungarian and foreign nobles, including King Alfonso V of Aragon and Stephen, the founder of the Lazalevich dynasty of Serbia, who used the Dragonknights to usurp the throne and seize the crown.
Subsequently, King Jagieło of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania, Archduke Ernst of Austria, King Christopher III of Denmark, King Henry V of England, King of Hungary and King of Bohemia Ulászló II, and Grand Duke Volad II and III of Wallachia were recruited respectively.
From the founding of the Dragon Knights in 1408 to the Habsburg family wearing the Holy Roman Crown again in 1438, the Dragon Knights were completely wiped out, and only existed for 30 years in between, and since then they have mysteriously disappeared into history.
Abbreviated to German, not Latin, it's a bit strange, Big Kelly is even more puzzled that there was a description of the sword in the stone in the contact letter, which was the mythical Arthur's sword of the king, and then broke because it tarnished the honor of the knight, and England in the sixteenth century after the Reformation, the state religion became a secular Protestant Anglican, but the Dragon Knights were founded when there was no reformation, it was a pure Catholic Knights, like a meteor across the history of medieval Europe, but left a lot of mysterious tails, counting blood, The Dragon Knights are actually the ancestors of many famous knights.
Big Kelly thought that with the arrival of the fifth letter, he would be given a chance to be promoted, so as to learn more about the secrets of the organization, but he did not expect to be demoted to a courier all of a sudden, and he also served as a postman, performing strange tasks.
"Rota. Morris? ”
Big Kelly looked down at the unfamiliar name on the parchment, and as his head raced, he muttered, "Is this man his own?" Will the cliché be a taboo for the organization... Could it be that he is also a Wall Street counterpart? Who the hell is this guy? ”
……
At this time, in an apartment on Roosevelt Avenue, Morris, who had slept until noon, woke up sleepy-eyed, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look at the roof with empty eyes, muttering to himself: "...... Who am I? ”
