Chapter 113 The reason behind it warms people's hearts

It's already evening.

Downtown San Francisco, Financial District.

San Francisco's CBD is basically different from Los Angeles and New York, which are densely packed with high-rise buildings.

Perhaps due to the size of the city, the roads in San Francisco's CBD are relatively narrow and have a certain slope.

Therefore, the skyline viewed from places like the Golden Gate Bridge will be even more spectacular.

Morgan's largest branch on the West Coast, the San Francisco branch, is located here.

"Fuck, David Ferro is dead?"

office.

When Mo Asumur learned the news from his secretary, he couldn't help but stand up from his seat.

"Yes. The cause of death was angina pectoris. He was driving to Yahoo when he suddenly had an angina attack and then had a car accident."

"But the car accident was not the cause of death. The car accident was not serious. The cause of his death was angina pectoris. This is the result of the forensic autopsy-"

The secretary handed a copy to the boss.

Asumur took it, glanced at it and put it down.

He didn't believe that David Filo, who was less than 30 years old, died suddenly of heart attack without any prior symptoms.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

David Ferro had no angina yesterday, no angina the day before yesterday, and no angina before that.

Today is so important, but I suddenly had a heart attack and went to see God.

"I remember……"

Asumur suddenly said in a low voice, "Milo Blackburn is the grandson of the former commander-in-chief?"

"Yes." The secretary nodded.

"Herbert George W. Bush served as Director of the ClA?"

"Yes, he is the only person who has served as a ClA and then lived in the White House."

"Hehe..." Mo Asumur sneered.

As we all know, ClA has no law enforcement power within the United States.

But again, everyone knows.

What ClA is best at is not intelligence but assassination.

And they don't like to shoot with guns. They don't like this kind of blatant assassination.

ClA's most common assassination method is to have bribed thugs do it.

Or...

ClA collaborates with some of the best chemistry laboratories in the United States.

For example, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, etc.

Many of America’s enemies will suddenly die from various diseases when they offend the United States or when the United States is in need.

For example... angina pectoris or something.

"Boss, you think David Ferro was killed by someone, and the person who killed him was..."

"Shut up!" Asumur yelled.

The secretary quickly shut up.

The office was quiet for a moment.

Asumur pondered.

In fact, David Filo didn’t show up today and couldn’t be contacted.

And Asumur was already suspicious because of Jerry Yang's sudden attitude.

But at that time the arrow had to be shot, so he could only let the meeting continue.

The meeting ended unpleasantly.

As soon as he returned to the company, Asumur asked his secretary to check the whereabouts of David Ferro.

Later, it was learned that David Ferro had died of heart pain while driving...

Asumur believes it? He doesn't.

He knew it didn't matter whether he believed it or not.

What matters is that David Filo is dead.

After Jerry Young became Milo Blackburn's minion.

Then it will become extremely difficult for Morgan Stanley to get the biggest piece of the pie from Yahoo's boss.

"Thank you for the generous gift!"

Thinking of this, Asumur couldn't help but curse again.

He thought to himself, these guys are the most ruthless.

As a senior manager of Morgan Stanley, Asumur knew Milo's identity.

The Blackburn family is an old political family with roots in Massachusetts and from the Boston consortium.

He kills people without hesitation.

The current situation makes Asumur feel like the founders of those startups he had oppressed in the past.

The difference is that he is now the one being oppressed.

In the past, when facing founders who were unwilling to make mistakes easily.

Asumur also has many means.

Not to mention the open conspiracies in capital, there are also many private conspiracies.

For example, beauty trap, honey trap and so on, for example - Brother Dong.

A few days before Dong Ge's accident, banks on Wall Street that held a large number of JD.com shares received applications to borrow shares.

Not long after that.

Brother Dong just entered the hotel room with a female college student and he hasn’t even taken off his clothes yet.

A large number of short sellers shorting JD.com emerged on Wall Street.

Subsequently, JD.com’s stock price continued to decline, losing half of its market value in a very short period of time.

Don't think that Wall Street only plays with numbers and money.

When they need to, or want to.

Their upper limit is that they can start a world war, and their lower limit... there is no lower limit.

As long as I can make money.

"Using any possible means" is the best description of capital.

Asumur used to be such a good player.

But now he found that he had become the target of this method.

But he didn't dare to use the same method to fight back.

He was just a senior partner at Morgan Stanley.

And Milo is the heir to a political family.

Asumur even suspected that the other party would kill him.

I don't think my boss will react too much.

There shouldn't be too many people who want to take your place and are capable of replacing you.

But what if I kill the other person - assuming I can do it.

Then their bosses’ first reaction would definitely be to kill themselves first before negotiating with the other party…

If the status is not equal and the other party is determined to use such means.

Then there is no good way to deal with it.

Asumur just felt a headache.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on his office door.

"Who?" the secretary spoke for him.

"It's me, Charles Mason. I got a message from the analysis room. They think they should let Mr. Asumur take a look."

Asumur waved his hand, signaling the secretary to open the door and let the other party in.

After Charles Mason came in, he nodded to the secretary, and when he saw Asumur, he said, "Mr. Asumur, we just received the news."

"In Louisiana, the Ferro family who lived by Lake Charles died in an accident this evening..."

Asumur: "What did you say? The Ferro family? David Ferro?"

Charles Mason nodded, then said:

"The Ferro family originally lived in Wisconsin. When David Ferro was six years old, his family immigrated to Louisiana. His parents had four children, one of whom died young. David Ferro was the most outstanding one, and the remaining two children worked with their parents on the farm in Louisiana."

"At 5 p.m., South Central Time, a fire broke out at Ferro Farm in Lake Charles. The warehouse where the farm stored hay caught fire. The Ferro family was working there at the time, and unfortunately, they all died."

"This is the information the analysis room just collected from Louisiana."

As soon as Charles Mason finished speaking, he saw Asumur and his secretary looking at each other in silence.

David Filo just died at noon.

Within hours, his family was also dead, burned to death by the fire.

Is it really such a coincidence? ...

…

"Ah? A fire? How unfortunate."

At the same time.

Inside a Michelin-rated restaurant in San Francisco.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Milo was having dinner with Hector and Edward.

Milo saw a report on the TV screen in the restaurant that a fire had broken out in the small town of Paradise in Southern California.

"California is good in everything. I like both Los Angeles and San Francisco very much. But the frequent wildfires make me feel that California is sometimes quite dangerous!"

He said with a smile.

As a local, Edward shrugged, "It's not dangerous. The fire can't reach us."

California and the western United States have wet winters, so vegetation grows wildly.

In spring and summer, due to lack of rainfall and hot climate, the vegetation gradually dries up.

This "reserve" a large amount of fuel for the fire.

Dry flammable materials can start a raging fire with just a little spark.

But Californians love to commit suicide.

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that 84% of wildfires in California are caused by human factors.

For example, downed power lines, camping fires, arson, etc.

There are records of wildfires in California dating back to 1932.

This is a must-try specialty of California.

Edward, a local, thought it was not worth mentioning. He picked up a piece of steak with a fork, cut it, and said softly, "Milo, do you think Sequoia and Morgan will agree?"

"It doesn't matter whether they agree or not. If they don't agree, we'll do it ourselves. Believe me, Yahoo's future is immeasurable."

After taking a sip of red wine, Milo spoke with a smile.

If we say that at the beginning, the newly reborn Milo just wanted to catch the spring breeze of the Internet.

By investing in advance, occupying the market in advance, and selling out after a few years, you can make tens of billions of dollars and then live a carefree life for the rest of your life.

But once he really got the hang of it and made his move in Silicon Valley.

As time and the situation develop.

Milo found that his initial thoughts were too naive.

Because there is no such thing! Take Yahoo as an example.

Before Netscape went public, he acquired 35% of Yahoo's shares in advance.

It looks like a lot.

But if his last name wasn't Blackburn, Sequoia Capital wouldn't have paid any attention to him.

Sequoia Capital ignored him and he wouldn't get that much.

Besides, will it be safe for him to get 35% of Yahoo's shares? It's impossible.

As long as Yahoo is favored by others, there will be endless troubles coming to it.

For example, Morgan Stanley now wants his Yahoo shares.

If Milo didn't give it, and if he wasn't named Blackburn and was just an ordinary American, what would happen? The best outcome would probably be that his shares would be diluted to only a few thousand.

After Yahoo went public, I got a small piece of the pie, and when the stock price rose to hundreds of billions of dollars, I made a few hundred million dollars and walked away.

If things went wrong, David Filo's family might have ended up like him.

A large number of people die accidentally in the United States every year, exceeding 100,000.

Not counting traffic deaths and shooting deaths, the number of accidental deaths is tens of thousands.

Just like now, the death of David Filo's entire family is nothing new in the United States.

The kind that was reborn in China and went to the United States in advance to get millions of dollars to invest in Yahoo, Google, and Twitter.

It's wishful thinking that it will be worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in a few years.

These are Internet companies whose market capitalizations can grow to tens of billions of dollars.

Those are all the meat in the pot of the Wall Street masters.

Ordinary Americans and Europeans will be killed if they want to eat it. How can you, a Chinese, want to eat the big head?

It’s nice to have some soup for you to lick!

Even if Milo has the identity of the Blackburn family.

If he doesn't raise, he won't play himself.

Then it should be no problem for him to make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in this Internet wave.

But thinking more is impossible.

Let’s take Yahoo as an example.

Yes, he previously owned 35% of Yahoo and had a preferred investment agreement.

But if he insists on giving up and keeps wanting to take up so much, he may even invest money to maintain the shareholding ratio.

The most likely thing to happen is that others will abandon him.

They create another company called Youhu, Ugly Tiger, Beautiful Tiger or something like that.

Squeeze Yahoo out of business, and then replace Yahoo's ecological niche in the parallel universe and go public to raise money.

Knowing all this, Milo now plans to take action himself.

Only in this way can we ensure that we will gain from this Internet wave.

This is also the reason why he had David Ferro's family killed and Jerry Young threatened.

This is done to deter those Wall Street gloves.

Use your unequal status to intimidate them.

In this way, when no interests are too great.

From now on, the gloves of capital will have a natural fear when facing him.

They will consider it.

Will Milo kill them like he did David Ferro? After all, the other investors were just soldiers, but he was the boss himself...

Although the bosses behind the soldiers are much stronger than Milo, they will not take action personally!

What he did was a bit unethical.

But capital has never been abiding by martial ethics.

Milo still thinks he is being retro.

The methods used by my ancestors in the retro Gilded Age.

For example, DuPont liked to treat the entire family of his competitors to a ride on a homemade plane.

For example, Rockefeller was afraid that others would freeze, so he set up an arson team, which would go to nearby small oil companies to set fires after dark. The reason behind this is heartwarming.

For example, Carnegie, a famous philanthropist, couldn't bear to see workers go hungry, so he especially liked to treat his workers to steel peanuts.

For example, when Morgan was working on the railways, he was very enthusiastic and often helped his colleagues test whether their rails were strong enough to be easily pried away.

Others.

There were Jay Gould and James Fisk, who thought it was too much trouble to buy stocks, so they printed stock certificates in their basements. There was Russell Sage, who was afraid that members of Congress would have no money to buy bread, so he distributed money directly on Capitol Hill.

There was Vanderbilt who was worried that the train carriages were not strong enough, so he asked his men to throw earth bombs to test them...

Compared to these predecessors who like to warm people's hearts.

Milo felt that he was as innocent as a little angel.

so……

He plans to invest another $200 million to recruit more people for Universal Studios.

The one who first created clay figures for burials will have no descendants.

He still attaches great importance to the safety of his own life and that of his family.
