Chapter 313 The Feelings of the Old Oligarchs

A Wall Street practitioner would be speechless if he didn't know John Chris Morgan.

Then he is definitely not a qualified person in the financial industry!

On Wall Street, John Chris Morgan, who was known as a "financial genius" when he was young and is now known as the "King of Wall Street", is a figure that no one on Wall Street can avoid.

Although on the surface, it is difficult to see news about him or to know what is going on with him.

Because unlike David Rockefeller, Morgan has always been reluctant to appear in public.

Then the American media would not dare to do that.

Just like Milo no longer wants to be the richest man in the world.

Then Forbes and other magazines will not include his name in the rich list.

John Chris Morgan, 68 years old this year, officially became the head of the Morgan family in 1982, sixteen years ago.

Because it was in that year that his father, Henry Morgan, who founded Morgan Stanley and was the fourth-generation head of the Morgan family, left this world.

Of course, because Henry Morgan was in poor health before his death, he was unable to fully handle the affairs of the family and the foundation.

Therefore, John Chris Morgan had grasped the core power of the Morgan family and the Morgan Consortium earlier, and it was only after the death of Henry Morgan that he had the official title.

Milo and Edward went to visit John Chris Morgan openly, without hiding their whereabouts at all.

The meeting place was Morgan Stanley’s headquarters building, located on 42nd Street in Manhattan, New York. The building was called “Morgan Stanley Building”.

The entire skyscraper belongs to Morgan Stanley!

John Chris Morgan's office, on the top floor of the building.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, you can overlook the entire Manhattan.

When we met John Chris Morgan, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window admiring the scenery with a Cuban cigar in his mouth.

"Milo, Mr. Wilson."

"Welcome, welcome to Morgan!"

"Want a cigar?"

John Chris Morgan's welcome was a little different. It wasn't particularly warm, but it didn't feel distant either, as if everything was natural.

He picked up the cigar box from the table, opened it and handed it to the two men.

"Mr. Morgan, thank you!"

Edward Wilson automatically took a cigar and shook hands with John Chris Morgan.

The latter smiled and nodded, his eyes fixed on Milo.

Milo couldn't help but secretly shake his head at Edward Wilson's performance.

As expected, he lacked experience and was immediately discovered by others.

But this is Morgan after all. He can't hear the voice of God, nor is he a reborn person.

If you are used to dealing with old David.

I guess if he saw the King of Wall Street, he would feel as timid as Edward does now.

"I don't smoke. Thank you, Chris," Milo declined.

This wasn't the first time he had met John Chris Morgan.

He had even been seen a few times before at parties in New York, with David taking him along.

Although there was no direct confrontation, everyone was familiar with it.

Not to mention that Milo is now the leader of the Boston consortium, the real head of the Blackburn family, and Rockefeller's son-in-law, which is a triple identity.

All of this forced John Chris Morgan to pay attention to him.

"How about a glass of this?" John Chris Morgan didn't care, and didn't even look at Edward. His attention was all on Milo.

He pointed to the left side of his office, where there was an entire wall of wine cabinets filled with all kinds of wine bottles.

In front of the wine cabinet, there is a small bar surrounded by several sofas.

“Any Jack Daniels?”

"Huh? Jack Daniel's? I thought you wanted to drink Macallan. I have Macallan 1926, Macallan Michael Dillon, and even Macallan Intrepid!"

"I like Macallan, too. But it just so happens that I've fallen in love with the taste of Jack Daniel's recently."

"Haha, okay. What's most important is that you like it. Of course, we have Jack Daniel's, but not much. I'll look for it!"

John Chris Morgan walked enthusiastically to his wine cabinet and began to search through his extensive collection.

Jack Daniel's and Macallan, which the two people just talked about, are both brands of whiskey.

Jack Daniel's is a local whiskey brand from Tennessee, USA.

It's an ordinary brand.

Macallan is undoubtedly a high-end product. The three types of Macallan whiskies that you mentioned just now, John Chris Morgan, are all priced over one million US dollars.

A better bottle of Jack Daniel's costs thousands of dollars, but an ordinary bottle can be bought for just a few dozen dollars.

The most affordable ones even cost more than ten dollars a bottle...

I didn’t expect that John Chris Morgan even collected such common wines.

But there was only one bottle of Gold Label No. 27. John Chris Morgan took it to Milo, "There is only this one bottle. It seems that Jamie gave it to me five years ago."

Milo took it and looked at it. "Gold Label has an alcohol content of 40%. This is a second barrel version. Although it is not very expensive, the quantity on the market is very small and it is difficult to buy."

"You're an expert." Morgan laughed. "Then drink this!"

He didn't need any help from others. He took out the wine glass, opened the wine and poured it by himself. His movements were skillful and it was obvious that he was a guy who tasted wine frequently.

Then he took a sip of the wine, revealing an expression of tasting it - "It has a soft taste, but less stimulating, and the flavor is very unique."

Milo was not in a hurry. He picked up a cup on the table and took a sip. "This is my first time drinking this. It does lack some excitement."

In the real Draco circle in the United States, there is a little hobby that ordinary people don't know about.

That's the older generation among them, especially those at the top of the WASP group.

They don't like champagne or wine, they only like the strong liquor that pirates used to pursue for excitement.

Rich people drink whiskey, poor people drink rum.

As for the French and Italians who like to drink sparkling wine and wine, their ancestors believed that only women would like the sweet taste.

But later their descendants came ashore, put on suits and started acting like gentlemen.

Some of them also started drinking sparkling wine and wine.

Finally, only the oldest and most stubborn ones were left, and they still only drank whiskey.

This has even become an invisible culture in this small circle.

The most typical example is the grandfather of need, old Blackburn.

This guy is so stubborn that he only collects whiskey in the cellar of Blackburn Manor...

And the remnants of the old era, such as John C. Morgan and David Rockefeller, had tastes similar to those of old Blackburn.

Like now, Milo was staring at the row of wine cabinets behind him.

Almost 90% of the bottles can be seen as whiskey bottles, and the most eye-catching one is a large bottle with a unique shape.

That should be the Macallan Dreadnought, which has a capacity of 311 liters and costs at least one million US dollars per barrel.

Enjoy the American style Jack Daniel's whiskey.

The topic kept revolving around whiskey and the conversation finally got on track.

It was Milo who took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Chris, actually, our only purpose for coming here this time is to make friends with you."

John Chris Morgan smiled and said: "We have always been friends."

If Edward Wilson were to answer this question, he really wouldn't know how to respond.

But Milo said very naturally:

"Of course we are friends. But next, I think you will regard us as good friends. Because we have what you want."

John Chris Morgan's eyes narrowed slightly and his smile faded a little.

In fact, he could guess why Milo and others came. It was simply because of David Rockefeller.

"So, Milo, Mr. Wilson, what do you have that I want?"

This time, Milo did not answer, but looked at Edward Wilson with a smile.

Milo's smile gave Edward Wilson great confidence, and he narrated what they had agreed on before coming.

"Mr. Morgan, the achievements of the Morgan family are well known."

"In my opinion, if not for the conspiracy of many people, the Morgan family would definitely be the strongest overlord in the United States."

"Although the Morgan Consortium already owns a series of large banks such as Hanover Company, New York Bankers Trust Company, Northwestern Bank, etc., this gold mountain still lacks the most magnificent diamond to embellish it."

"I believe that the Morgan Consortium, which owns J.P. Morgan, is the strongest overlord!"

"I think that J.P. Morgan, a great name that has disappeared for more than 30 years, should reappear in this world."

John Chris Morgan was silent.

He drank the last of the whiskey in his glass and refilled it with Jack Daniel's Gold Label No. 27.

It has to be said that when Edward Wilson threw this thing out, his calm state of mind was destroyed.

The disappearance of J.P. Morgan & Company is the only shame for the Morgan family!

This shame has existed since 1959!

It has been around for nearly forty years now!

It can be said that the disappearance of the real JP Morgan is a great loss to the Morgan family.

Just like the Rockefellers lost their Standard Oil! Although others feared the power of Morgan and the Rockefellers, this was always a point of ridicule that the rats used to comfort themselves in secret.

Rockefeller had been trying to get Standard Oil back.

And Morgan.

They also made great efforts to take back J.P. Morgan.

John Chris Morgan's father and he, as well as the entire Morgan family, made great efforts, but all failed.

There are many reasons for failure.

The main reason lies in David Rockefeller - so the Morgan family was the one that created the most obstacles in Standard Oil's search for success.

Rockefeller and Morgan, since the fall of Roosevelt.

It can be said that they have been in love and hate with each other until now.

But it wasn't just Rockefeller who contributed; others also contributed.

Like Schneider King Wilson.

When Henry Morgan was alive, he tried many times to buy the Wilson family's shares in the Morgan Trust Company of New York, but Schneider King Wilson refused to sell.

However, this time, David Rockefeller bullied Schneider King Wilson to fall, and the Wilson family was leaderless, so he brazenly attacked the Wilson family.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the face of immediate interests, all camp interests and future interests are put aside.

At Milo's suggestion, Edward Wilson chose to turn the table over!

With such a magical opportunity right in front of him, how could John Chris Morgan refuse it?

He asked solemnly: "Mr. Wilson, how many chips do you have?"

Edward Wilson was determined, looked at John Chris Morgan with a smile and said, "We own a total of 7.84% of the shares!"

"you?"

"7.84%!"

This short sentence shocked John Chris Morgan so much that he subconsciously rested his hands on the sofa and even put down his crossed legs.

He realized that he had lost his composure, but he did not hide it.

After all, the fact that Milo and Edward Wilson came to offer this bargaining chip showed that they were well aware of the importance of this bargaining chip to the Morgan family.

In that case, let's just lay everything out there. There's no need to beat around the bush.

"Mr. Wilson, Milo, I want to know, what can I do for you?"

John Chris Morgan said solemnly.

Edward smiled even more widely. He looked at Milo and got an affirmative nod from Milo.

He stated his purpose: "Mr. Morgan, the Morgan Consortium has certain shares in Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Lockheed Martin, Martin Marietta Materials Company and some other companies. I hope you can sell them to me."

John Chris Morgan understood. He thought about it and nodded slowly: "No problem."

Rockefeller was willing to bleed heavily for Standard Oil.

Morgan is just as happy to bleed for JP Morgan.

This is no longer a question of money or benefits.

This is the same feeling as they only like to drink whiskey and don't like sparkling wine and wine.

Even after their rebirth, Standard Oil and JP Morgan no longer have the same status as before.

But making them reappear is also a major wish and obsession of these younger generations.

"I am also disgusted by David's actions. I am willing to help you."

"Thanks!"

"So our cooperation was successful?"

"certainly!"

As he spoke, John Chris Morgan stood up on his own initiative, and Edward and Milo also stood up to shake hands with him.

After chatting for a while, Edward took his leave at Milo's suggestion.

John Chris Morgan took the initiative to send the two to the door of the building and watched them leave.

This scene was seen by many people.

After many people recognized Edward and Milo, the news spread quickly on Wall Street.

The first reaction of everyone who received the news was that the situation of the Wilson family was about to change!

After John Chris Morgan returned to his office, he fell into deep thought.

Thinking back to what had just happened, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although it was Edward who talked to him about the final thing.

But he knew very well that it was Milo who was always in control.

This time it looks like Milo is on the Wilson family's side.

I don’t know whether the California consortium will be dissolved.

But the Wilson family will surely get through this crisis smoothly.

If nothing unexpected happens, Edward Wilson, with the support of Boston, will become the core of the Wilson family.

Edward Wilson was still very young. He took over the Wilson family and the ruined California consortium, but he posed little threat to the Morgan consortium.

With the help of this crisis, the consortium was purified.

The Wilson family's strength has declined significantly, but their ability to protect themselves has risen to a higher level.

It's just that how aggressive it is is still a question! Unless Milo can get rid of his big triangle that has already been made public in the circle.

If that were to happen, John Chris Morgan felt reluctant to join forces with David again.

But that is impossible. Even if the heads of the three major conglomerates are all Milo's sons, it may not be possible, because human hearts are unpredictable and interests are difficult to reconcile.

"David must be pissed."

"I thought I had found a piece of trash that was easy to control. I didn't expect that when the knight was gone, the warrior would go from being a trash to a heroic king."

John Chris Morgan felt relieved when he thought about how furious David Rockefeller might be next.

In fact, this is true.

Almost non-stop, Milo and Edward have not yet returned to San Francisco.

David Rockefeller went to Milo's top-floor office in the International Building at Rockefeller Center.

"You went to see John Chris Morgan?"

As soon as he entered the door, the old man asked aggressively.

Edward shrank back, feeling guilty.

Because just a moment ago, before David came in.

He and Milo were discussing how to deal with this old man.

"It spread so fast?"

Milo laughed and said, "Old David, you're not sending someone to wait outside the entrance of the Morgan Building, are you?"

Old David's face darkened.

He didn't like Milo's teasing tone.

But this is indeed the case.

Basically, other Wall Street giants have people waiting at the gates of the headquarters of major Wall Street groups and oligarchs.

The business war on Wall Street is actually not as exciting as outsiders imagine.

Simple but effective is what Wall Street pursues.

"Did you sell the shares of Morgan Trust Company of New York to Chris?" David didn't even look at Edward, but only stared at Milo.

Milo spread his hands and pointed at Edward, "It's not me. I only have a few shares. Most of them belong to Edward. He sold all the shares to John Chris Morgan in order to get Morgan's support to fight you off."

Fuck! You sold me out! Edward opened his eyes wide and stared at Milo.

Milo gave him a reassuring look in return.

"If you hadn't gotten involved with Bank of America and other companies, dear David, I think this might not have happened."

"We are not really willing to let JP Morgan reappear. But there is no other way. A loaf of bread costs hundreds of thousands of marks. So we can't blame the Germans for turning to the beer party. It's the same reason."

Old David was very angry after hearing Milo's twisted logic.

David Rockefeller took a deep breath, and his face, which was covered with age spots, regained its calm.

"There's no need to talk about this anymore. We both made choices that we believed were right."

He looked at Milo again: "Chevron Oil, make an offer."

John Chris Morgan has successfully regained a part of JP Morgan.

If I can't advance the progress of Standard Oil's return.

David felt that Chris would definitely laugh at him at the next cocktail party!

So instead of dwelling on Milo's behavior of harming others and not benefiting himself, it is better to talk about Chevron Oil.

"Oh, about this matter."

Milo smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to ask. David, so you want this. You should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have sold it to you a long time ago."

David: “???”

Is it that simple? He didn't believe it.

"Don't say such meaningless words."

David frowned, "What do you want?"

"In exchange for JPMorgan Chase shares." Milo also went straight to the point.
