The Morgan family's New York mansion is located at 219 Madison Avenue, which intersects the northeast corner of Thirty-sixth Street, and is still in the neighborhood of Murray Hills in Manhattan. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

There is less hustle and bustle of the city here, and you can also overlook the clear waves of the East River from the window.

At that time, the fashion was to indulge in luxury and pleasure, and the general businessmen and wealthy were deeply immersed in the pleasures and extravagance of the popular dogs and horses.

In contrast, the Morgan family's new mansion is magnificent, but not overly elaborate and trivial.

The main gate is flanked by ancient Greek Ionic columns; A bay window overlooks Madison Avenue.

The room is furnished with solemn wooden furniture and dotted with small antiques. In the bright and spacious study, with its mahogany panels from Santo Domingo and a huge desk from Pierpont in the center, it seems to have been transformed into the office of a merchant bank partner.

The atmosphere in the room was so gloomy that the 12-man team of servants called it the "Black Study".

"Hi. Robles, we meet again! I've heard that your business has been doing well lately! Little Morgan said with a rare smile.

"Thanks for the compliment! It is an honour for me to receive Mr. Morgan's compliment. But compared to J.P. Morgan, there is still a lot to learn from the Robles Securities. Robles said modestly.

"This is my partner, the big boss of Robles Securities, Stoney William." Robles introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Morgan. I've heard your name for a long time, especially Mr. Morgan Sr., the idol of bankers all over America! This is Situ Nan's respect for the Morgan family.

"Call me Jack! That's what my friends call me. Little Morgan said enthusiastically, glancing at Situ Nan with sharp eyes.

"Well, you can call me Stoney too, and that's what my friends call me." Situ Nan said.

"Wine or coffee?" Little Morgan asked, rang the bell, and the servant came in with a drink.

There is a portrait of old Morgan hanging in the living room, the old man in the portrait who is not angry and mighty looks very similar to Morgan in front of him, with a high nose, a wide face, and a bright eye, almost a seal printed, father and son are also tall and strong, although Situ Nan is also 1.8 meters tall, but in terms of physique, he is really not as good as this little Morgan with a bear on his back.

"This is my dad! He's a great guy! Little Morgan looked at his father with admiration.

Judging from the portrait, little Morgan is a little different from his Lao Tzu, little Morgan did not inherit his old Tzu's rosacea, and his facial contours are softer.

Judging from the appearance, it has a bit of a blue taste.

This is also related to momentum, a person's momentum is not innate, but through the continuous accumulation of guò formation, the more accomplished the characters they have, the richer their experience, accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, the more inadvertently exudes extraordinary momentum.

Carefully calculated, it has been less than four years since the death of the elder Morgan in 1913, and as the new leader in charge of the Morgan empire, the momentum of the little Morgan should not be underestimated.

Although he was already middle-aged when he took office, it was not a task for anyone to control the proud soldiers of the Morgan Empire.

Fortunately, the clever little Morgan has learned to share power, and compared with his autocratic and short-tempered Lao Tzu, the little Morgan who lacks prestige is more gentle, and he respects and reuses the partners of the Morgan family in exchange for the approval and support of the old people.

Jack took a sensible approach to self-preservation when he took the helm of Morgan, and he did what Pierpont would never have done – delegating power to Davidson, Lamont and others, and taking charge of the whole situation in a dashing manner.

Unaffected by his father's fiery temper or personality, and untouched by the threat of talented peers, he is proud of his solid position as the protagonist.

The alliance of interests that learns to share is solid, and although it is not enough for the genius of his father Morgan Sr. in speculation, Morgan Jr. is stronger than Morgan Sr. in terms of insight into people's hearts.

In recent years, Morgan's talent and sincerity have impressed the veterans of the Morgan empire, Thomas Davidson, Tom Lamont and others, with the assistance of Davidson, who is good at communication, and Lamont, who is good at running a bank, and many times, most things can be solved without Little Morgan's hands. This is also a kind of vertical arch rule!

Morgan Jr. adheres to the ancestral teachings, has always been very low-key, does not like to deal with people, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, so most Americans think this family is very mysterious.

It was the first time that Situ Nan had met the Morgan family, and it was false to say that he was not nervous, in his past and present lives, the word Morgan was like a mountain pressing on Situ Nan's heart.

However, after going through so many things, Situ Nan's nerves have been cultivated tenaciously enough, and people who have experienced too much death will have less awe of what the world is in awe of, so even in the face of the famous Morgan, he quickly stabilized his mentality, and his attitude became neither humble nor arrogant.

But Morgan's next words surprised Situ Nan, and he almost jumped up.

"Stoney William, British, of Chinese descent, well, pretty handsome." Morgan laughed,

He went on to say, "He came to the United States in 1912, and after a short stay in the East, went to California. The first oil well was drilled there, and then the oil field was auctioned separately through guò auction, and the California Oil Company was formed. Then it profited greatly from oil speculation in Texas, and in just a few years a large oil company emerged. Despite not serving in an oil company, the development of the company has always been in his remote control. Am I right? ”

Morgan looked at Situ Nan with a smirk. Although few people know that the person behind Occidental Petroleum is Situ Nan, it is not a secret to someone of Morgan's level.

It's a smiley tiger! As fierce as a wolf, like a small strong one, it makes so many opponents have a headache.

Situ Nan secretly warned himself to be careful not to be deceived by his superficial kindness.

You know, last year, this guy fought with gangsters with hand-to-hand, and he was shot twice in the body!

What a ruthless character!

Billionaire, Wall Street emperor fighting a penniless anarchist with two shots? Not every piece of jade has the courage to collide with a tile! If it gets out, the whole world will be a sensation.

This made Morgan's loss of face can only spread in a small area, and now Morgan's momentum is in the upper hand, Situ Nan really doesn't have the courage to provoke Morgan's sadness, so he can only secretly slander in his heart.

Why didn't God open his eyes, a bullet hit the chest of this hateful guy in front of him and shot through, and it didn't hurt the vital point!

It's true that good people don't live long, and bad people live for a thousand years!

If there were no Morgan on Wall Street, maybe I would still be able to fish in the muddy waters! You know, this guy has been a single person for generations.

At the same time, Situ Nan also secretly warned in his heart that he must pay attention to safety, in case he was accidentally shot by a guy who was not long-sighted that day, wouldn't the foundation he had worked so hard to create be cheaper for the American people?

The richer the person, the less courageous he is, because he is afraid of losing so much he has, and Situ Nan is no exception, so no one can take his life except God. Situ Nan swore secretly in his heart.

Morgan didn't know what Situ Nan was thinking, if he could hear Situ Nan's inner voice, it would really be himself!

Since being touched into the house by an anarchist last year and shooting, Jack Morgan, although what he said at the time, brave, brave, brave... But if he wants to write a brave word on his chest, he won't dare to have a wonderful real fight with a gangster who has a very fierce action but a very shit marksmanship!

Although many people know about this, Jack Morgan also patted his chest and said that he was very brave when people mentioned it, but in fact, he has almost stayed in the palace he painstakingly built in the past few years, rarely going out in the limelight, and almost "raised in the depths of the boudoir".

It was also rare for Situ Nan and Robles to meet him.

"Yes. Admittedly, I was lucky. "Since Situ Nan has been doxxed by others, it is better to admit it calmly.

He waited for Morgan to hear what Morgan had to say.

"To be able to dig up so many oil fields at once, this kind of luck is the envy of even that guy. However, this is not the main reason for my interest, what impressed me was that during the stock market turmoil of 1914, you took a lot of money from the stock market and took a lot of money from it, but it caused me a lot of trouble. ”

Morgan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint expression on his face, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

If you push it yourself and give the young man in front of you a little help, I guess the guy who sells oil will be nervous!

Morgan thought triumphantly. In the United States, there is only one oil seller who can compete with the Morgan family.

Morgan's words reached the ears of Robles and Situ Nan, but they caused a big wave!

Situ Nan broke out in a cold sweat, he always thought that he had done this very cautiously and seamlessly.

In late July 1914, Wall Street was engulfed with hysteria, misguided fears that trade across the Atlantic was about to collapse and that the recession would intensify.

The Americans believe that they will not survive without European capital. So they feared that the gold from New York would be siphoned off and deposited in London.

On July 29, after the Tsar mobilized more than 1 million Russian ** troops, all European markets were closed.

Overseas investors rushed to liquidate their securities in New York, and since the economic panic of 1907, the New York stock exchange market had not experienced such a sharp plunge in a single day.

Situ Nan had long expected this, so he and Robles shorted the U.S. stock market during this period, and then went long after the U.S. stock market stabilized, buying a large amount at ultra-low prices.

Back and forth, 300 million US dollars were swept away from the stock market in a short period of time, and they always thought that it was something that God did not know, and no one should know about it except for the two of them.

But I didn't expect to be pointed out by Morgan at this moment, why wasn't I shocked?

Robles swallowed hard, and immediately calmed down after looking at Situ Nan.

If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do!

Situ Nan never had the luxury of expecting that he could hide it from everyone, but he just dragged it out until he became strong enough to face even disgraceful places.

Besides, he only played cards in the rules of the game, and as long as he didn't get a thousand, even Morgan couldn't make a light move against him.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan's heart stabilized, his face regained his calmness, and he smiled and waited for Morgan's next words.
