It was regarded as a reception for Situ Nan, and a banquet was held at Robles' house in the evening, and all the senior executives of Robles Securities Company attended, and there were some heads and brains of other Wall Street companies.

After all, although Robles Securities is not as powerful as J.P Morgan's big investment banks on Wall Street, its strength should not be underestimated.

The house of the rich was specially built for banquets, and many people really came at night, and all kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of Robles's house, and men in leather shoes got out of the car with delicately dressed women in their hands, and met acquaintances greeting each other.

Dinner was a buffet with a long table of all sorts of delicious food, lobster, abalone (abalone?). Well, Americans don't seem to eat abalone much), foie gras, steak, lamb chops, caviar, etc., the chef does it very delicately, which makes people appetize it.

Situ Nan saw Graham and Jesse Rivermore again, and the two seemed to be very friendly. Graham must have participated in this kind of high-class party for the first time, and it seemed a little restrained, but Jesse next to him was an old fritter, and from time to time he pointed out Graham, a very interesting young man.

But looking at him, he still has a crumpled suit, endless edges, and a stubborn and uninhibited appearance, which doesn't look like a qualified teacher.

One of these two people has a sensitive sense of finance, and they have read a brief introduction in theory, and the other is an experienced and experienced old fox, and in finance, the two people admire each other, cherish each other, complement each other, learn useful things from each other, and become the second general under Robles.

"Hey! Gray, Jesse! Situ Nan walked over and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?" How to be happy? ”

"We were just talking about some topics in the stock market. Mr. William. Graham said a little nervously, this one in front of him is his big boss!

This is still a fledgling stunned youth, although he is very talented in securities analysis, but he is still a young man. In fact, one sentence was completely set out by Situ Nan.

"Have fun tonight, relax, and don't talk about business. What a great night, wasn't it? Situ Nan said with a smile.

"That's great. Damn it, Gray, why am I talking to you about those stocks? It's a sin to waste time, how watery the girl over there is, oh, and my favorite big ass! Let's go and play around! ”

Jesse is really a different person, just a vulgar person, he said it so loudly, it attracted the disdainful eyes of many people next to him.

Situ Nan touched his nose and wondered if he wanted to stay away from this guy? He knew that Jesse, a playboy, had done a lot of sensational things.

Situ Nan kept his composure well and looked gentle, but Graham, who was next to Jesse, was a little blushing under everyone's gaze.

This kid is so tender! Situ Nan thought to himself.

In fact, when Situ Nan looked at Graham, Jesse's eyes had been paying attention to Situ Nan, a young and excessive boss, he had just deliberately made a fuss, and now it seems that this boss can be calm under the gaze of so many people, and he dare not say anything else, at least he has as thick a skin as himself. didn't annoy Jay because of his rudeness, he should be a tolerant person. Jesse couldn't help but have some appreciation.

Except for a very few people, most people know that this young man with slightly smiling skin and some yellow and black hair and black eyes in front of him is actually a **oss!

Before the ball began, Stuart returned to Robles, and tonight he was going to show his face slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this person next to me is my partner and good friend Mr. Stoney William, who is from California and runs an oil business." Robles, as the host, introduced Cheese Nanlai in a grand and simple manner at the beginning.

The words didn't go deep, and Situ Nan didn't want to reveal all his identities at once, and in social situations, he always claimed to be a California oil merchant.

For most people on Wall Street, Situ Nan is just a newcomer, far less famous than Robles, and it is estimated that many people think: This is another nouveau riche who stepped on shit and dug up oil!

Situ Nan simply said two words, such as wishing everyone a wonderful night, and then the banquet began, and the big guys should have fun!

American banquets have always been relatively open and free, whether you want to expand your network in the social, satisfy the touch of the female companion's body in the dance, or come to have a mixed meal, in short, enjoy it to the fullest!

After eating and drinking, the hotel does not provide room service, if you need to go out to the door to play car shock, the high point of the direct to the hotel can be, fast, ten minutes of drive will not be waiting, right?

After Situ Nan and Robles showed their faces, they went into the study, there was an important deal tonight, and there was already an important person waiting for them inside.

Ferguson is the commissioner of the Bank of England in the United States, specializing in the sale of US Treasury bonds in the hands of the British government, he has been in the United States for three months, and the negotiations with Morgan's Wall Street bankers are not going very well, the two sides have some differences on the price, and the temporary stalemate has been settled, and the British complain that the Wall Street bankers have lowered the price too low, and the Wall Street bankers want to get more oil and water from the British, and they are waiting for the British to make concessions.

Today Ferguson received an order from London to lower the price in order to gain the support of the American bankers, now is not the time to bargain, although it hurts, but the support of the American bankers is more important to the British who are suffering from the war than to the interests that have been abandoned! As long as the war is won, a qiē will compensate back.

Ferguson is under a lot of pressure right now, but as a good banker, Ferguson doesn't put his anxiety on his face lightly.

Some time ago, when negotiations with Morgan were deadlocked, Ferguson set his sights on Robles, an upstart on Wall Street, and talked to Robles about U.S. Treasury bonds.

His original intention was just to put a little pressure on Morgan and make them make a little concession, but he didn't expect Morgan and them to stand still, yes, without Morgan's consent, the rest of Wall Street would still have the heart to eat this huge batch of U.S. Treasury bonds.

"The influence of the empire in the Americas is getting weaker and weaker, and Morgan, the agent of the British bankers, is now completely independent, and he no longer needs to look at the eyes of the empire." Ferguson felt a little over in his heart, when will the empire of the sun never set on the world look at the eyes of others.

In the Far East, it was necessary to satisfy the Japanese at the expense of the interests of China in order to gain the support of the Japanese.

In North America, the merchants of the empire watched the American profiteers spend the war money, and the gold of the Chinese people continued to flow into the pockets of the Americans, and this gap was really uncomfortable for the proud British!

The only thing that made Ferguson a little relieved was that he threw an olive branch to Robles and got a response, and he took this opportunity to negotiate with Robles tonight.

"Hello! Mr. Jazz, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! As soon as Robles entered the door, he said that at the beginning of the banquet, Robles had sent someone to secretly bring Ferguson to the study, and he himself had to socialize for a while, so he was a little late to get out.

"Mr. Robles doesn't have to be like that, I just sat down for a while." Ferguson nodded slightly, and said with a hint of arrogance peculiar to aristocrats.

Situ Nan looked at Ferguson, forty or fifty years old, with an elegant suit, a somewhat weakened figure, a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and a stern expression with a hint of gloom.

Robles had already told him something about this Ferguson, so he had a general idea of Ferguson.

This Ferguson family was very powerful in British politics and business, and it is said that the ancestor was still a nobleman, which can be heard from Robles's name.

"Mr. Sir, this is my partner, Mr. Stoney, who is also a shareholder of Robles Securities. He was also negotiating tonight. Robles introduced.

"Hello! Mr. Sir, I'm Stoney William. I know you very well! Situ Nan said in an authentic London accent and shook hands with Ferguson.

"It's rare for an American to speak with such an authentic London accent! Mr. William has been to the UK? Ferguson asked.

Mr. Situan's accent surprised Mr. Ferguson, who hadn't heard a cordial London accent in months, so his somewhat taut face relaxed a little.

"He's not just been to England, he's an Englishman!" Robles chimed in.

"Oh?" Ferguson's mouth opened slightly, surprised.

"Yes, I was born in London, grew up in England, worked as a sailor in my teens, and came to the United States a few years ago. The Titanic, you know, the ship that made me sad, I stopped being a crew member after I arrived in the United States. Well, I didn't go back to London! I wish this damn war was over soon! Situ Nan said with a look of pity.

Why is this expression a little fake!?

Robles was the first to disbelieve it, he knew the ambition of this guy Situ Nan, and he hated that the war would go on forever, and the reason why the two of their companies developed so fast was because of the profits from the war in Europe.

"Titanic? Damn, a good friend of mine got on this hapless boat! Ferguson said. The topic that Situ Nan jumped up seemed to resonate with him, and what he said was that although some of the people who died on the Titanic, more were British!

Its sinking was a heavy blow to the British, both economically and psychologically, and no one could better understand the disaster of the sinking ship than the British, and if it weren't for the German submarines, they would not have had to ask the United States so lightly.

I heard that the British are very good at talking, and it takes several minutes to talk about the weather, and these gentlemen sometimes talk in a cloudy and foggy way, and they can't get to the point for a long time.

"Let's get back to tonight's topic!" Robles said bluntly, and he had to interrupt Ferguson and Stuart Nan's discussion about the weather in London.

"Okay!" Ferguson quickly realized that tonight's mission was very important, he had to raise enough supplies for the soldiers who were fighting bloodily on the front line, and every minute there were great British boys who were killed by the Germans on the ground.

Ferguson, who was authorized in London, did not think much about the price, and Ferguson readily agreed to sell the US Treasury bonds to Robles Securities at the price of US Treasury bonds to be sold to Morgan for $300 million, twice as much as the planned $100 million. Of this amount, $100 million was in cash, and the remaining $200 million was repaid with supplies provided by Situ Nan.

Robles Securities charges a 0.8% commission, which is much more favourable than JPMorgan's 1%.

Once all of these bonds were sold, Robles Securities could make a profit of $2.4 million. In fact, considering that after the outbreak of the war, American investors were optimistic about these US Treasury bonds, and the sales market was naturally very good, and the selling price of the book must be much more expensive than when it was bought from the British, and the profit of Robles Securities from the book must have far exceeded the $2.4 million.

What's more, these national bonds are turned into factory orders, and the profits generated are another big number, which is simply a business to make two parts. Why don't you let the two sinister guys Situ Nan and Robles not want to win this deal.

However, this matter had to be agreed to by the London side, and it was a big deal, and Ferguson, who had brought about the deal, was informed by Robles's hint that he would have a satisfactory return.

Having money makes the devil grind, and patriotism also comes at a cost, and Ferguson believes that with their family's strength in London, they should ensure that this cooperation will go smoothly.

In particular, Situ Nan presented a large number of procurement evidence from the British side to prove his good cooperative relationship with the British side, which made Ferguson more confident.
