Soon Berg remembered the first time he met Fang Lang, outside the corridor door, when Fang Lang reprimanded his subordinates with a gloomy face.

For a while, they were all in a trance, and they didn't know which one was Fang Lang's real face.

Just as Berg's mind was full of thoughts, Fang Lang's car stopped outside a high-end custom dress store on Fifth Avenue.

After waiting for a while, someone pulled the car door, Fang Lang got out of the car, and the cold wind blew into the car, and Berg came back to his senses.

As soon as Berg opened the car door, he saw that Fang Lang had already walked around to his side and stretched out his hand to him very gentlemanly.

After hesitating for a moment, Berg still put his hand on Fang Lang's hand, then got out of the car, grabbed Fang Lang's arm with his hand, and walked into this splendid high-end custom dress store together.

The waiter who greeted the guests at the door, and when he saw the posture of a few people, he knew that he had met a big man.

At this time, no one paid attention to Fang Lang's complexion, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door of the store and bowed to welcome.

A blonde young man who looked to be in his twenties politely stepped forward and said to Fang Lang:

"Welcome, sir, I don't know how I can help you."

Fang Lang casually glanced at the spacious storefront, the decoration was very luxurious, and all kinds of men's and women's dresses were hung in the store to be selected by the workers.

Nodding, Fang Lang said to the young man beside him:

"Is there a female shopping guide who will match a dress for the lady next to me to see the dinner. We are in a hurry, please hurry up. ”

"Yes, sir. Arrange it for you right away. ”

Soon, a female shopping guide in her thirties walked up quickly.

Fang Lang patted Berg's hand holding his arm, and motioned for him to follow the shopping guide to choose a dress.

And Berg was obviously the first time to enter such a high-end store, and he was a little nervous and didn't dare to let go.

Fang Lang had no choice but to whisper in her ear:

"Go ahead! Rest assured, your boss is not short of money. ”

Berg took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to follow the female shopping guide inside.

Just when Fang Lang drank a cup of coffee and waited a little impatiently, there was a "click", and the door of the wide fitting room opened.

With a pair of red high heels on his feet, a long black dress, and a pure white mink shoulder draped over his shoulders, Berg, with his blond hair tied back his head, looked like Nicole Kidman walking into the red carpet runway.

directly made Fang Lang's eyes unable to move away.

"Sir, believe me, your female companion will be the center of the feast tonight."

Fang Lang, who swallowed his saliva, finally came back to his senses:

"It's great, but don't you think there's something missing from her neck?"

"Sir, I think Tiffany next to me will be happy to match your female companion with a beautiful piece of jewelry."

"So what are you waiting for, let them come directly, I want to see the overall effect."

In the end, it is a high-end luxury store, and the service is indeed very good, and soon a few Tiffany clerks came over with jewelry for Fang Lang to choose.

Fang Lang looked at it and finally chose a diamond necklace!

After bringing it to Berg with his own hands, the effect is not too good, and the shopping guide around him can't help but praise from the bottom of his heart:

"Hollywood stars are not as beautiful as your wife."

At this time, Berg obviously liked his outfit very much, but he heard the shopping guide say that he was Fang Lang's wife, and quickly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, this is my boss, not his wife."

Fang Lang directly interrupted Berg's argument and said to the shopping guide:

"That's it, pay for it!"

"Sir, the total price of Tiffany's jewelry is nine thousand eight hundred dollars."

Berg, who was next to him, exclaimed:

"Why is it so expensive? I don't want it. ”

Obviously, with Berg's salary of $400 a month, it would take more than two years to pay back such a large sum of money without eating or drinking.

It's a pity that Fang Lang won't give him a chance to regret it at all.

He signed a check and handed it over.

Berg walked out of the store in a daze, only to be caught in the cold wind blowing outside the door.

I have become a 10,000 yuan loser.

This made her look at Fang Lang with a resentful expression, thinking, this is over, she is tied up by debt.

The boss won't be bad with himself!

Fang Lang next to him obviously didn't care about this consumption, and said casually:

"Let's go, let's go meet Mr. Morgan, who is the top name."

The Plaza Hotel is located in the heart of New York's Fifth Avenue, and this building is also the standard building of Fifth Avenue.

When Fang Lang and the two came to the hotel, there were already people waiting at the door.

The two were quickly ushered into a very upscale restaurant box.

A bald middle-aged man in his forties had already stretched out his hand to Fang Lang.

"Mr. Fang, you are really young!"

"You must be Mr. Morgan, you don't look much older than me!"

Both of them laughed, introduced each other's female companions, and entered the box to take a seat.

"Mr. Fang, the container system developed by your Universal Group has been completed, right?"

After a few simple bites, Mr. Morgan went straight to the topic.

This is completely different from what Fang Lang heard that Westerners don't like to talk about work during meals.

"That's right, we've gone through all the tests and started the trial run. Why is Mr. Morgan interested in entering the shipping industry? ”

Fang Lang asked knowingly.

"Haha. Mr. Fang, this great invention of yours will completely change the new pattern of the world shipping industry.

Although we Morgan will not enter the shipping industry, we are very interested in such a company, I wonder if Mr. Fang has considered listing the company? ”

"Going public? I don't know which company Mr. Morgan is talking about? ”

At present, Fanglang Global Group has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Global Trading, Global Shipping, Global Shipbuilding, Global Steel, Global Port Machinery and Global Terminal.

Global Trading owns only 25% of Shata Trading's shares, so it is not a subsidiary of Global Group.

With so many branches of the Global Group, Fang Lang also wants to know that in front of a big investment bank like Morgan, which company has the most investment potential.

"In my opinion, these companies under Mr. Fang have great potential, so if Mr. Fang is willing, we hope to list them all.

If Mr. Fang has taken it into account, we can also do it one by one. ”

"I wonder which company Mr. Morgan is most optimistic about?"

A consortium like the Morgan family, which has a lot of power in the United States, must have known about the upcoming European revival plan of the United States.

Therefore, Fang Lang estimates that what Morgan most wants to promote the listing must be global shipping.

Surprisingly, Morgan said:

"Fang, of course, we are optimistic about Global Shipbuilding, which has the advantage of patented technology."

Fang Lang felt a little strange in his heart, could it be that the US government has not yet begun to put forward a plan for the revival of Europe?

"But my global shipbuilding is not a big enterprise! The shipyards owned in several countries are not very large. ”

"It is precisely because it is not a big factory that it shows that he has the potential for appreciation! At present, we have established shipyards in various countries in Europe and the United States.

The container system you invented has begun to run officially again, and it is about to usher in a period of rapid development! This is the time when capital is needed to expand quickly and occupy the market.

So, if you ask us to choose one of your companies to go public, we will definitely choose Universal Shipbuilding! ”

"Alright! Mr. Morgan is very reasonable, but the reality is that we are not short of money to develop our global group.

So, I'm not ready to take my company public now. If Mr. Morgan is really optimistic about my global shipbuilding, how about we work together in a different way? ”

Mr. Morgan obviously did not expect that the young man in front of him would not play according to the routine at all.

But when I heard him say a different way of cooperation, I still came to be interested, and said with interest:

"Oh! Mr. Fang can talk about it. ”

"I'm also very optimistic about a company under the Morgan consortium, I wonder if we can have a share swap?"

This was really unexpected, and I didn't expect this young man to fall in love with the companies under the Morgan consortium, but it's no wonder.

As one of the largest conglomerates in the United States, the Morgan consortium must have a lot of high-quality assets in hand, but I don't know which company Fang Lang is looking at.

"Oh! It is our honor to be favored by Mr. Fang, and I don't know if Mr. Fang wants to replace the shares of that company. ”

"As far as I know, the Morgan consortium is the majority shareholder of AT&T, right?"

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Morgan smiled, it is true that AT&T is indeed a telecommunications company that has a monopoly on the long-distance and local telephone markets in the United States.

The profitability of the company in this way is obviously very strong.

"That's right, AT&T is indeed the holding company of our Morgan consortium. However, the scale of the company is very large!

If you want to exchange shares with this company, the shares you get won't do much. ”

"Mr. Morgan, don't worry, I know this company is a very profitable company, but I don't want to swap shares with this company.

It's a subsidiary of this company, Bell Labs. ”

Hearing this, Morgan was stunned for a moment, of course, the current Bell Labs does not have the great achievements of later generations, this laboratory was established in 1925 after AT&T acquired the R&D department of Western Electronics Corporation.

When the company was founded, AT&T's president, Walter Kidford, promised to fund Bell Labs' research with 3 percent of the company's annual profits.

Because AT&T did not use its telephone patents to expand rapidly, its income was not particularly high, which allowed him to escape the economic crisis of the thirties of the twentieth century.

It was not until the outbreak of World War II that AT&T began to rapidly occupy the American market and penetrate into Europe and the United States, which allowed Bell Labs to receive a lot of financial support.

Practical results began to be produced: long-distance television transmissions, digital computers, sound films, and artificial larynxes.

Of course, the digital computer here is not the later electronic computer.

This also means that this company has not really produced much benefit, and at the same time, the company's R&D capabilities have also been recognized by everyone.

Fang Lang just doesn't know how much the Morgan consortium attaches importance to this company, and whether he has the opportunity to join the board of directors of this company.
