In the luxury area of Manhattan, New York, a luxurious villa is hidden behind the rolling woods, with bright lights. The sound of the happy party in the villa can be faintly heard on the road.
The owner of this villa is called Andre Mellon!
Mellon, what a prestigious surname! The Mellon Group was once one of the top ten financial groups in America. This is a name that is on par with super financial groups such as Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, and Ford. There is an American folk saying: Mellon blew the whistle,
Hoover rang the bell. Wall Street sent a signal, and the United States rushed to hell!
The core business of the Mellon Group is finance, followed by Junhuo and oil companies. The Mellon Group controls bank capital and industrial capital in the Pittsburgh area. It is like a king. The family has long funded America's conservative forces.
(Sheepdog always likes to use one noun as the main body of action, and its name is: United States. But anyone who really knows the industry knows that there is no main body of action with this name, and it is divided internally. The consortium uses various methods to let money influence
Masaharu with hawk sauce!)
Of course, the top ten financial groups in America have all declined, replaced by new influential figures and financial groups. For example, the name that has gradually become familiar to people in recent years: "Koch's Octopus".
In the large study room on the second floor of the villa, two lawyers were waiting in the shadows, and the door was guarded by close security guards. Downstairs was a party at a securities company, where handsome men and beauties gathered. In the guest rooms, people were already lined up in hidden corners.
The team is having fun.
Andre Mellon was holding a wine glass and standing in front of the window, drinking whiskey with ice. In the flat glass, the golden liquid was gently swaying, as if the smell of money was exuding an intoxicating smell.
.
He dialed Lanny Mellon's phone number in Hong Kong Island, "Lanny, many people have complained in my ears! Do you have anything to explain to me?"
The time difference between New York and Beijing is 13 hours. When it is still about eight o'clock at night in New York, it is already about nine o'clock in the morning in the East Eighth District.
Lanny Mellon received a call from the current head of the family at his villa in Repulse Bay. He was a little panicked! He had messed up in Hong Kong Island! Bank of New York Mellon Company was about to face Mr. Jing's revenge! But he suppressed it
Inner emotions.
"Andre, between a go-getter who does things and a mediocre person who doesn't do things, what kind of person do you choose?"
Family head, this title is a bit unconventional. But it is a fact! Contemporary financial groups, wealthy families, huge political connections, and wealth all need a qualified heir. Don’t look at foreign financial groups who do not restrict fertility, but those who are educated
There are all kinds of weird things!
In family inheritance, it is rare that there are several elites in the second generation who need to "seize the direct descendants". Basically, they are all single seedlings, and they have to worry about not being as capable as their parents and not being able to keep the wealth and the family's prestige!
How about it? Do you feel that it is very similar to the nine-rank Zhongzheng and aristocratic families in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties? Therefore, Fukuyama said "The End of History", and some scholars said that the replacement of dynasties in China's feudal society was a historical cycle, without a certain point of progress!
What a nonsense!
Lenny Mellon is not a sibling of Andre Mellon, but a cousin two generations apart. However, he can bear the surname "Mellon" and serve as a director of Greater China at Bank of New York Mellon Company. His ability
There is still some level to it.
He believes that Andre Mellon will not weaken the power of the Mellon family in the company!
Andre Mellon raised the corner of his mouth and sneered silently, "Lanny, the problem is that you are not a person who can do things! You suppressed Mr. Jing of the Phoenix Group and broke his face not just because of fighting for the interests of the Bank of New York.
Right? There is also a fight for your own personal morals, right?"
Lanny Mellon defended: "I admit that I have selfish motives! How can we plunder the wealth of those listed companies when Hong Kong stocks implement the AB share system? Our deterrence will be greatly reduced! What will you do if you are in Hong Kong Island?
measure?"
What he means is: in his position, to seek his government! Of course, this phrase does not exist in English.
Andre shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Lanny! Business will only succeed or fail! Now you have failed twice! I will give you one last chance! Bank of New York Mellon Company is in
Greater China’s sales and profits this year cannot decline.
If you can deal with Mr. Jing, then I will not punish you. But if his anger harms my interests, then you will eat your ****!"
Andre hung up the phone, put the phone on the desk, and said to the two private lawyers: "Let's continue!"
This was an episode in his busy daily work. Of course, it also reached the point where he had to intervene. Yesterday, he received a call from Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and was laughed at a few times. This made him very
Very unhappy!
As long as the overt and covert fights in the far east don't affect his ability to make money, what does it matter? It's not as big of an impact as the ridicule from friends at the same level! You know, the center of the world is in America!
Arrogance always makes people arrogant. In the face of great changes unseen in a century, who is in charge?
…

Jing Gao agreed to Guo Lingyu's request and decided to accept the invitation of Jesse Cairns, the president of Goldman Sachs China. After communicating with his assistants, he met with Lenny Mellon at the Peninsula Hotel on Hong Kong Island on February 26.
.
You can't accept it. Lingyu, a thirty-three-year-old plump and sexy woman, wants to please him on the beach in the afternoon! Which man can withstand this?
Time has come to 2019, and the most awesome hotel in Hong Kong is no longer the Peninsula Hotel where stars gathered in the past. In those days, entertainment tycoons such as Shao Liushu liked to drink afternoon tea and talk things on the first floor. Over time, stars gathered here. I hope to be here with you
Big guys "encounter" by chance and look for opportunities.
The most popular hotel right now is the Four Seasons Hotel.
Choosing to meet in the executive corridor of the Peninsula Hotel actually has another meaning. The Peninsula Hotel is the property of the Kadoorie family! This time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s director seat recommended by shareholders is Michael Kadoorie!
Old Kadoorie and Jing Gao had a close relationship.
Peninsula Hotel, Executive Corridor.
Jing Gao's bodyguards were everywhere. His confidant bodyguard leader Junzi led his team to patrol the administrative corridors.
When Jing Gao arrived, accompanied by Guo Lingyu, Jesse Keynes and Lanny Mellon had been waiting for a few minutes. They shook hands with each other and exchanged greetings.
Jing Gao felt a little face-blind and felt that two old white men in suits looked similar. This was the same as Americans looking at Oriental people.
To put it bluntly, Jesse Cairns is older and taller. Lanny Mellon is obviously a little weak in terms of momentum.
"Mr. Jing, Lily and I have been old friends for many years. Today, at Lanny's request, I invite you to attend the meeting. It's a great honor. I have something to do with you for a while, and you can chat! Lily, can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
After Jesse Keynes explained in a few words, he was ready to leave the time and venue to Igao and Lanny Mellon.
"Of course!" Guo Lingyu agreed with a smile. She was wearing a light white business attire today, which highlighted her graceful and plump figure and her bright face.
After the two left, Jing Gao looked at Lenny Mellon and drank tea with a smile. Of course, the executive lounge sells wine. But if Jing Gao wants to drink tea, he can also sell tea. Don't ask why, just ask.
The privilege of the rich!
Lenny Mellon has a typical American character. He felt that Jing Gao's eyes on him and his smiling behavior while drinking tea made him very disgusted. He said straight to the point: "Mr. Jing, business is business! You win this
One game, I admit it.
I don’t want to get into trouble with you and hurt both sides! I hope I can talk to you carefully.”
Jing Gao felt a little want to laugh.
It’s not that he particularly wants to show off or play off his ethnic pride, but he really thinks that this hairy man, Lanny Mellon, is a barbarian!
How can there be such a good thing in the world? After the business war failed, he still pretended to be good for you, so let's "negotiate"!
Isn’t this horse riding nonsense nonsense?
What kind of brain circuit does this have to say such nonsense! And why do you think he is willing to let it go?
You didn't even kneel down, and you didn't even want to call me "Mr. Jing"!
