Chapter 150 Fortune Miracle Blackburn



Chapter 150 Fortune Miracle Blackburn

In the early morning, Milo reached out his hand in a daze to touch the woman beside him, but found nothing.

I slowly opened my sleepy eyes and looked at the time. It was only about 7:30 in the morning.

Now that he was awake, he sat up in bed and put on his robe.

"hiss……"

“How cruel!”

I felt a sharp pain in my back, which was extremely uncomfortable. I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen scratches on my back caused by my fingernails.

Honestly, this was a real first for Milo.

There were many times when his other women got so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Some people, like Zeta-Jones, just clutched their pillows and said nothing.

Some people, like Nicole Kidman, scream and shout as if they were pigs being slaughtered.

Some people scratch the quilt so hard that it is torn, such as Connelly and Blanchett.

Some kissed him madly, until their lips became red and swollen or broken. Julie Delpy and Monica liked that.

But like last night, scratching his back hard.

Still the first one.

Shaking his head, he came out of the bathroom after washing up.

Although he didn't see anyone in the room, Milo wasn't too worried.

After all, although everything that happened last night was a little sudden, it was also a natural outcome.

It is almost an unspoken rule in this circle.

After thinking about it, he walked out of the bedroom and asked the female bodyguard Gray.

Gray is not a bodyguard from the Blackburn family.

She was the female bodyguard selected by Milo after he acquired United Global.

"Where are the people?"

he asked Gray.

Gray: "In the next room, came out around six o'clock. The door was locked and the window was not open. He must be resting inside."

Milo nodded, relieved, and casually ordered, "You and Mary stay, you will be Haley's personal bodyguards from now on."

Gray nodded in agreement, and Milo then changed his clothes and walked out the door towards the breakfast room.

At breakfast time, Milo's table was unsurprisingly filled with many newspapers and weeklies.

He flipped through it casually and pulled out a copy of The Wall Street Journal. The headline on the front page was:

[This world is crazy! 23-year-old Milo Blackburn tells you how he went from rags to riches to $12 billion in just one year! ]

“America’s most amazing money-making machine…”

“Wall Street’s most sensitive predator.”

"He made $850 million in profit in two months. He saw the downturn in the international crude oil market earlier than anyone else!"

“…”

Milo frowned at this opening and continued browsing.

The Wall Street Journal's front-page headline today has him as the title.

The content generally follows the pattern of the original Forbes rankings being bombarded by US media for nearly a week after they were announced.

However, today's report in the Wall Street Journal has something new to say about this model.

That is, in the report, the Wall Street Journal got the news from somewhere that Paladin Investment had recently made a profit of $850 million in more than two to three months by shorting international crude oil futures.

This is true.

Although I don't know where the Wall Street Journal got the information.

But it is difficult to hide this kind of thing from others.

Especially now, Milo doesn't have a bank of its own.

His investment company operates in the stock market and international financial markets.

Anyone who is both energetic and ambitious can guess a man’s investment direction and profits by observing the change in the direction and amount of his funds.

At the end of February this year, after shorting the military industry sector in the US stock market, Milo asked Paladin Investment to focus all its attention on international crude oil futures.

After nearly three months, Paladin Investment lived up to his expectations.

Thanks to Milo's foresight and Nelson, as well as the excellent operations of the traders.

In nearly three months, the profit was US$850 million.

Relying on this fact, the Wall Street Journal rehashed an old story and made Milo make the headlines again today.

However, to some extent, his existence has indeed refreshed everyone's cognition.

It is more impressive than Bill Gates' conceptual wealth. With a net worth of 12 billion US dollars and a profit of 850 million US dollars, he grew up almost under everyone's eyes at the age of 23. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

The Wall Street Journal deliberately ignores the main process of how Milo earned his wealth, highlighting Milo's personal legend and creating wealth myths such as the American Dream.

This is undoubtedly the most popular report among the public, and perhaps it also has the reasons to continue to add fuel to the fire in Silicon Valley.

After Netscape went public and Lycos achieved huge success.

Pushing up the Internet and making the Nasdaq crazy has become something that almost all Americans want to do.

The consortiums want to reap the profits, the wealthy want to take advantage of this opportunity to make another fortune, and ordinary people want to get on board and make a fortune.

The Wall Street Journal is undoubtedly doing the same thing now.

Who can blame Milo for always showing that he values ​​the Internet more than anyone else?

The title of Godfather of Silicon Valley.

It has even begun to spread out from Silicon Valley, and many media use this title when reporting on Milo.

Seeing the ending, Milo showed a sarcastic smile.

Just think of The Wall Street Journal to know how much money you can make in the investment market.

Milo knew that he had to have his own bank next.

This way, at least the next time you look for food in the U.S. financial market or the international financial market, you can use your own bank as a cover.

At least it won't be so easy to expose your tracks.

Moreover, having a bank of its own can serve as the financial turnover center and cornerstone core of many of its subsidiaries in the future.

Apart from anything else, the foundations of the eight major American financial groups are all built on their respective core banks.

Rockefeller has Chase, Morgan has two top banks, Boston also has two big banks, California has Wells Fargo, and Citigroup and Mellon Group even have their names named after banks.

Even in the financially weak state of Texas, they have two or three regional banks of their own.

The worst hit were DuPont and Cleveland, which were attacked by Morgan and were about to become Morgan's subsidiaries because they had no financial core of their own.

Any large chaebol, conglomerate or enterprise wants to become truly big.

Then a capital turnover center of your own is absolutely necessary.

This is not only true in the United States, but also in Europe and Japan.

Therefore, whether it is the wealthy people in China or Hong Kong, it is difficult for them to form a consortium because they cannot control a large bank as the cornerstone of their enterprise.

Milo didn’t feel this before, or should I say he knew it but it wasn’t that urgent.

This time, I was teased by the Wall Street Journal.

He felt that this matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Anyway, I didn't expect to have the scale of Chase or Morgan from the beginning.

It is entirely possible to first acquire one or two regional banks with complete licenses.

First, connect the businesses in New York, Los Angeles and Boston.

If there is an opportunity to expand and become national in the future, that will be a matter for the future.

Only by solving the problem of whether something exists or not can we have the opportunity to study things, big or small.

then……

We were already in contact with Marvel Comics and HBO.

Shabote, who was already very busy, had a new task.

Thinking of this, Milo asked Monica beside him to call Megan and said, "Change your schedule. I want to interview my new consultant and chief financial manager today."

Monica nodded and went out to make a phone call.

In the morning, inside the top floor office of Yahoo's headquarters building.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Milo stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the densely packed small buildings in Silicon Valley and the blue sky outside, and had a clear understanding of where his current funds were going.

If everything goes well this afternoon, your new financial advisor will be ready to take up his post.

The number of advisory groups is still too small, and there are too many things I want to do.

As a result, everyone is very busy and has endless work to do.

Therefore, the think tank team still needs to be expanded so that it can cope with the wildly growing industries and wealth.

He had just thought about it and decided to register a shell company and place all the think tank members in it.

The name is simply Blackburn Foundation.

The United States actually has many think tanks, with more than a thousand of them named and publicly known.

Think tank, also known as "think tank" or "wisdom tank".

It refers to a multidisciplinary research institution composed of experts that provides advice to decision makers in dealing with social, economic, scientific, military, diplomatic and other issues and provides the best theories, strategies, methods, ideas, etc.

Famous ones include the Russell Sage Foundation and the Hoover Institution.

Under the unique political system of the United States, financial groups, think tanks and politicians are inseparable.

"K Street" in Washington is known as the "Think Tank Street". American think tanks gather here, keeping an eye on Congress and the White House every day, trying every means to "stuff" their policy analysis and research results into the brains of members of Congress and government officials.

Milo's Blackburn Foundation would not do such a thing.

He plans to combine the American-style think tanks and add a little "Chinese wisdom" from his own soul.

He built his Blackburn Foundation into a combination of an American think tank and the Chinese cabinet and the Grand Council.

That means I can give him advice and work directly for him when he needs me.

As a result, the requirements for the quality of personnel are relatively high.

Establishing this company so early will also play a positive role in troublesome matters in the future, such as marriage, distribution of assets among children, and inheritance.

The interview in the afternoon was held in a cafe opposite Yahoo!

Well, actually, this cafe, the two restaurants next door, and a supermarket were all bought by Milo a long time ago.

On the one hand, it is a benefit for Yahoo employees, and on the other hand, it also provides him with security personnel.

When Milo works at Yahoo, his security personnel can also protect him in these places.

The three interviewers' times were staggered, with each interviewing for half an hour.

In fact, in Milo's mind, these three people can all stay.

They are the elite personnel selected by Milo from the list given by the headhunting company.

Coming here for an interview is just a formality.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Milo looked at the first interviewee who left, took a sip of coffee, and asked Shabote and Wendy who were sitting next to him with a smile, "What do you think of this person? Is he the person I need?"

Wendy glanced at Shabote, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she frowned and said.

"His resume is impressive, but his investment philosophy is too radical. Perhaps this is why he failed in his bid for fund manager at Chase Manhattan Bank."

Shabote smiled and said, "I asked a friend at Chase Manhattan Bank. Although he has experience in leading a team, he has no experience in corporate management. His talent is unquestionable, but he is too mean. He advocates high pressure and the team cohesion is very poor."

Milo nodded, indicating that he understood. To put it bluntly, this man was a model of putting profit above all else.

There are disadvantages, but the advantages are equally obvious.

“Admitted.”

Milo spoke, motioning for Wendy to do the rest of the work.

He is about to start preparing for the great harvest in Southeast Asia that will take place at the end of the year.

At that time, it will take people who put profit above all else to do it; people with a conscience won’t be able to do it.

This kind of knife can definitely be a good one if used properly, but you need to pay attention to the direction of use.

"Go on, let the next one come over." Milo drank his coffee, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and said lightly.

The second person arrived on time, was about 40 years old, and had an even more impressive resume than the previous one.

After the interview, Milo was very satisfied. He found that this person might be better than Shabotet.

The only bad thing is that he openly admitted that he is a gay, and a bottom at that.

"Come on, it's not a big deal. Andre, I need a strong person who can work for me. Not a moral paragon, Mr. Model. Believe me, as long as you don't bring your stuff to my company, I will only welcome you to work for me."

Milo doesn't discriminate against gays, but he discriminates against LGBT.

The fact that Andre is a G is also in his resume.

But he still asked the other party to come for the interview because Milo had someone investigate Andre.

This guy is gay, and he is a natural gay. But he is an old-fashioned gay, not a random LGBT.

As long as this kind of person has a stable partner, they are actually more stable than people with normal orientation.

More importantly, Andre's partner works for Milo.

The barista in this cafe is Andre's ex.

The two have a very good relationship and may even be childhood sweethearts, as information shows that they were neighbors when they were young.

Finally, it was the third interviewee, whom Milo refused to meet.

He directly said to Shabote and Wendy: "Let her report to the company with Andre and the others tomorrow."

"Uh..." Shabote couldn't help but look at Wendy.

Wendy had no choice but to speak up: "Boss, do you mean that Gina Raymondo was also admitted?"

"That's it."

That's the future U.S. Secretary of Commerce, although she was most likely promoted by the party.

But since her party was able to push her to the top, she should have some ability.

What's more, her background and university were tailor-made for a prejudiced guy like Milo.

He now wants to expand the Blackburn Foundation, so he might as well recruit Gina Raymondo to see if she can do it.

If you really have the ability, then you deserve to be reused.

If she is just a useless person, you can just fire her or put her on ice after a while.
