365. Uninvited guests
In the early morning, when birds land in front of the window, the sun's rays are pure and bright. The waves in the distance are in the dawn, and each wave tip is colorful.
The phone at Su Budong's bedside rang. Su Budong got up to borrow the phone.
He leaned against his chest and slowly hooked his chin.
"Boss, you are not righteous. You abandon your brothers and run away." Chu Xingyun complained.
"Is it all over?"
"it's over."
"Do the finishing work well, count the bank accounts of the winners, sign the names and handprints of the person themselves, and make sure to write them on their accounts, and have a bank remittance record afterwards."
"I know, you have told us several times. We are going to go to Los Angeles tomorrow. Can you come?"
"It should be possible." Su Budong looked at the time, "I'll book tickets later."
"Then we will prepare a celebration banquet tomorrow night. This is the first time we come back to the United States, so we have a good day."
"Be careful." Su Budong reminded him and fell asleep again.
At noon, the waiter sent an invitation with the inviting Ms. Lin and Mr. Su to attend a luncheon for senior executives of the Morgan Stanley Research Association in New York.
"It's Cadruz..."
"Is he a member of the Morgan family?" Subudon glanced at the beautifully printed invitation letter with the printed: Mogan Stanley.
"He is the first heir to Morgan Stanley. Although he is called this from time to time now, the family heritage is indeed like this." Lin Muyu said.
Su Budong felt that this was like a Hongmen Banquet and gave in a little. Lin Muyu saw his hesitation and asked with a smile: "Why, are you afraid?"
Su Budong smiled and said, "I'm afraid that it's not enough. I just think that the banquet is not a good banquet, and there's always something wrong. It would be fine if he only invited you, but what's the matter with me?"
"Isn't this a good thing? You also meet with the world's top financial experts and expand your connections."
"The reason is that, but if I were me, I wouldn't have invited a rival to the banquet so generously." Subudon couldn't be as generous as Kadrus.
"I said, he is just my brother."
"From his eyes looking at you, I can't see what a brother should look like." Su Budong was not jealous, but said so just because of his understanding of the man.
"Then are you going?"
"Go." Su Budong had already finished washing up and was about to take Lin Muyu to the second floor for breakfast.
Waiting until 11 o'clock, Subudon and Lin Muyu came to the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, sitting on the extended Lincoln provided by the hotel.
After getting off the car, Subdong looked at this landmark building in New York and felt a little moved.
The two took a private elevator to the 83rd floor. After verifying the invitation letter, they were invited into a banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, half of the guests have now been there.
Kadrus was entertaining guests, and his afterglow was just looking at Lin Muyu who was holding Subudong's arms.
His face changed, and he adjusted his emotions and came to Lin Muyu: "Lin, I'm honored that you can come today." He and Lin Muyu gave a gift.
If it were other men, they would have been furious to see their girlfriend being vacated.
Su Budong felt that we would not accept the etiquette of Westerners, but we didn’t have to be like a jealous person. So he thought it was not so serious.
"Su, it's a very lucky thing that you were chosen by Lin."
"It's better to be lucky than to be each other's soulmates." Su Budong changed his words specifically.
Soul mate, some people say that this is more like a fantasy concept, because the so-called fit means that the other party knows what you think. But from this perspective, it actually makes the soul mate superficial.
The focus of soul mates is first on the word "soul". In today's era, it is extremely difficult to be a person, and it is even more difficult to be a person with flesh and blood, rather than a person who combines some personality traits in a piece. If everyone plays a "self" in life, just like acting, then such a person has neither a soul nor a soul mate.
Su Budong felt that the sentence that best interprets the soul mate, "The beautiful skin is the same, and the interesting soul is one in a million."
Lin Muyu has both a beautiful skin and an interesting soul, and the two are combined into one.
In terms of poetry, it is: "I smile before I meet, and I have already made my whole life in my first meeting."
Kadrus's face was a little stiff after hearing Subudong's words, but Lin Muyu interrupted Subudong and said, "Instead of saying that I am his luck, I actually think that he is my luck. If it weren't for him, how could I be more courageous and return to the financial circle."
"That incident was not your fault..." Kadrus knew that the incident Lin Muyu mentioned had a great blow to her, so he returned to the treasure island from the United States and disappeared.
In fact, Su Budong had asked Lin Muyu's past indirectly, but Lin Muyu didn't want to talk too much, so Su Budong had to wait for Lin Muyu to mention it to him on his own initiative.
Su Budong has a little bit of goodness, that is, he doesn’t worry about the past.
Anyone has his own secrets. Even if he is himself, he has hidden many secrets and has not told Lin Muyu?
Kadruth used the excuse of entertaining the others, asking them both to take care of themselves and then leave.
Under the leadership of Lin Muyu, Subudon began to meet some core members of Morgan Stanley, and none of them noticed that a gloomy smile appeared on Kadruth's mouth.
The lunch officially began after the guests arrived. Cadrus began to speak in the applause of the guests, and was careless to thank the financial institutions for their support.
Morgan Stanley was originally an investment department in JP****. In 1933, the United States experienced the Great Depression. Congress passed the Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited the company from providing both commercial and investment banking services. Morgan Stanley was established as an investment bank in New York on September 5, 1935, while JP Morgan became a pure commercial bank. In 1941, Morgan Stanley cooperated with the New York Stock Exchange to become a partner of the stock exchange. The company expanded rapidly in the 1970s, with employees rapidly growing from more than 250 to more than 1,700, and began to develop business worldwide. In 1985, Morgan and Cinault Insurance jointly established a leveraged acquisition fund. Morgan Stanley made an amazing deal. 1986
In 2018, Morgan Stanley worked with Irish cardboard company Jefferson Smerfiter to buy American Carton Co., Ltd. for $1.2 billion from Mobil. Jefferson and Morgan Stanley each paid only $10 million, and the rest were borrowed. Morgan Stanley easily made a profit of $32.4 million. At the beginning, Morgan Stanley's stock jumped from $56.5 per share to $71.25. This made Morgan Stanley's net profit of $250 million and made the "disrespectful" young people who transformed the company in the 1970s directly make a fortune. With the public sale of the stock, Morgan Stanley lost its last connection to the past. Morgan Stanley is now a huge publicly listed company with 114 executive directors (including the first female executive director), 148
A limited partner and 4,000 employees worldwide.
This year is exactly the second year of their listing. As a training, Kadruz became the head of the Investment Banking Department. Today's banquet is to maintain the relationship between partners and executive directors. In other words, this is actually the banquet within Morgan Stanley, while Subudon and Lin Muyu are outsiders.
Here, Su Budong is an eye-opener, and all the partners he had never heard of before were here. He was dealing with these partners, constantly introducing Lin Muyu around him and his Xiangjiang Financial Company.
As Lin Muyu said, this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to expand his financial pool of his financial company.
Although Kadruth was greeting other directors and limited partners, his eyes never left Lin Muyu. His anger became deeper and deeper, because he felt that the position beside Lin Muyu should have belonged to him.
He drank the champagne in his hand and then gave a wink at a subordinate who was loyal to him.
The man came down to Su Budong and said politely: "Are you Mr. Su Budong?"
Su Budong hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Then the subordinate said, "Old Mr. Morgan is here too, but he doesn't want to meet guests now, he wants to see you alone."
"See me alone?" Su Budong was a little flattered and confused. When did Old Morgan find out about his name?
"Has Old Uncle Morgan come too? I haven't seen him for a long time, so I'll go see him too." Lin Muyu saw that Su Budong was at a loss, so he came out to rescue him.
"I'm sorry, Miss, Old Mr. Morgan said he only saw Mr. Su."
Lin Muyu's brows frowned into question marks, but he still let Su Budong leave. "You can just talk normally after a while. It is easy for the young people he is optimistic about to talk to him."
Su Budong nodded slightly and left the banquet hall with the subordinate.
More than ten minutes later, a few gunshots were heard, and someone broke into the banquet hall covered in blood. He shouted, "Someone is killing!" He fainted at the scene after that.
All the guests present were shocked and shouted to escape in scattered ways. Cadruz, who was prepared, made people ring the alarm. After a while, the fully armed New York police (NYPD) arrived at the scene and took away Su Budong, who was accused of being a murderer.
