Chapter 671: Harvest of the First Half of the Year
Rockphil father and son, when discussing how to face someone.
Manhattan, Smith Tower.
"Dingβ"
With a smile on his face, Abel waved goodbye to the girl standing in the elevator, who had come to the Smith Tower to discuss cooperation with Ms. Kayla Wilson, the new global president of Wells Fargo, and her secretaries and key assistants.
At the beginning of this year, the princess of California finally deserved her name. From the general manager of Wells Fargo in New York to the global CEO of Wells Fargo, his status has risen a lot, from a regional boss to one of the core figures of Wells Fargo.
As the core industry of the California consortium, she represented Wells Fargo at the Smith Building today to discuss strategic cooperation with Smith Bank.
At the end of the morning, I left after a working lunch here.
It wasn't until the golden elevator door closed, exhaled a cloudy breath, and twisted his neck a few times, that Able turned and walked towards his office.
On the sofa in the lounge area outside the office, David Mellon was reading the newspaper with a newspaper, and there was a cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of him, who vaguely heard the footsteps, put down the newspaper, looked in the direction of the footsteps, and saw that it was the boss, hurriedly got up, and greeted with a smile: "Good afternoon, boss." β
"Good afternoon, have you been waiting for a long time?" Abel smiled and walked over to David Mellon and asked.
Abel has always had a good attitude towards this assistant who helped him a lot in the early stage.
However, he feels worthy of David, and a 1% stake in Smith Capital, even if it is just a dry share, is enough to make David Mellon one of the richest people in the city.
"Not long."
"Hmm." Abel snorted lightly, not caring if the other party had waited for a long time, after all, he was the boss.
At this time, Amanda Hirst, who was wearing a black loose dress, walked quickly to his side and said softly: "Boss, this is the next schedule for today-"
Unlike Lydia Hirst, who has already gone to Europe to become the president of Smith Media Europe.
Amanda eventually politely rejected Abel's idea to let her go to Asia to be the head of the company, and she chose to stay with Abel as Abel's secretary.
"Hmm." Abel took the schedule casually, put his eyes in front of the schedule document, and looked at Amanda with concern, "I heard Doni say, you vomited at noon?" Vomiting a lot? If you really can't do it, take a break and don't tire yourself out. β
Amanda, who was much calmer than before, smiled, "It's out of the way, I've checked it many times." Several doctors have said that this is a normal physiological phenomenon. β
"That's good."
David Mellon, who was a little behind and listened to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but look at the increasingly loose dress of the little princess of the Hearst family, and her slightly bulging belly.
The heir to the New York branch of the Mellon family thought: It seems that the rumors are correct, Amanda Hearst is indeed pregnant for a long time. I just don't know what happened to Lydia Hirst who went to Europe.
After talking to Amanda, Abel walked to the office while looking at David Mellon and said, "Let's talk in the office-"
"Okay, boss." David Mellon said, followed by Abel, and walked into the office one after the other.
In the office, Abel sat on the boss's chair, leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly, motioned to David Mellon and asked him to sit down, then turned his head to look at the smiling man standing on the side, more and more professional, and the capable Amanda asked:
"When did John Chris Morgun call?"
"Around nine o'clock, he wants to ask you to have lunch with you at noon...... However, you couldn't put it off at the time, so it was postponed to the evening. Amanda replied immediately.
"Hehe......" Abel naturally immediately thought of the reason why the head of the Mogun family was looking for him, and said to Amanda with a smile: "Okay, I know, you go out first." β
"Okay boss." Amanda didn't turn around in the slightest, and walked out with two slender black silk legs.
Abel said to David Mellon opposite, "You wait a minute, I'll make two calls." β
"Feel free to do so, I'm not in a hurryβ" David Mellon said with a smile.
Abel nodded, picked up the phone at his desk, pressed a shortcut, and soon a greeting came from the microphone.
"Warren, John Criss invited me to dinner at noon, if you have any requests from your side, you can tell me, and I will tell him."
Listening to Buffett's complaints on the other side, the smile on Abel's face slowly disappeared, and finally turned into a sneer, "...... Hehe, I see. Trust my old man, they'll compromise. Now we have a louder voice because we have more strength. β
Hanging up the phone, Abel immediately turned into a smile, looked at David Mellon opposite and smiled: "Okay, you can start-"
David Mellon smiled and nodded, didn't ask any more questions, first handed Abel a document, and then began to debrief.
"Towards the middle of the year, we received a big gift from the Federal Reserve, and after several interest rate hikes, the US stock market recently hit a new high since 2003. Yesterday, May 6, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both closed at their 2003 highs, and the Dow has risen 156 points over the past three trading days. Yesterday's rally was boosted by better-than-expected home sales in April and higher tech stocks. β
ββ¦β¦ At the close, the S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent to close at 1,118.02, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 50.79 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 10,464.93. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.7 percent to close at 2,252.67. β
"The first half of the year was a good one for us. Since 1950, the Dow has risen by an average of 0.7 percent in the first week of the year and 0.8 percent in the following week, according to data provided by the company's research department......"
ββ¦β¦ Compared to the first half of last year, the company's revenue increased by 24 percent and 33 percent compared to the second half of last year. The total reached $42 billion, a new year-high for the company......"
Hearing David Mellon's report and looking at the various data in his hands, the smile on Abel's face became extremely bright and happy, and he said to him with a smile: "It seems that you have done a good job, hahaha......"
"You're still the boss!"
Hearing the boss's praise, David Mellon also laughed.
For Smith Capital, the main reason why they were able to make so much money in half a fiscal year was the strategic foresight of their boss and the "cooperation" of the market.
Of course, the amount of money controlled by the company has become extremely large.
Recently, if you want to make a lot of money, the premise is that you also have a large capital of your own. Small money to make big money, that's what happens in casinos.
For David Mellon's touting, Abel shook his head with a noncommittal smile. He knows his own affairs, and he knows that his talent is important.
But all the remaining links and details of the work are still inseparable from the credit of David Mellon and his subordinates.
If their ability is mediocre, then they will probably have to work hard every day to die of exhaustion, and they may not even get the current effect to this extent.
And if that's the case, then he'll have to put all his energy into finance.
Don't think about being the leader of a conglomerate, because there is no such extra time.
Maybe even the time for leisure and entertainment to play with women will become less pitiful.
"Send the reward report for the first half of this fiscal year, I will sign it, you will send money, and let everyone share the happiness of the harvest together!"
"Hehe, thank you boss, I thank everyone for your generos......ity," David Mellon thanked with a smile, then took out another document from his briefcase, handed it to Abel with a smile and said, "I have brought ......"
"Hahaha......" Abel laughed and stretched out his hand to point at the smiling David Mellon, took the document, opened it and quickly browsed it, glanced at David Mellon, who had a somewhat apprehensive expression, smiled and picked up the signature pen on the table, swiped and signed his name, and then closed the document, handed it to David Mellon with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "If you like gold, I can also replace it for gold bricks for you." β
"Hehe, thank you boss, though, I'm sure they prefer checks." David Mellon replied with a smile.
"Hey......" Abel pretended, "I didn't expect that one day, I would be troubled by too much gold~"
