Chapter 54: Each Has His Own Plan



Chapter 54: Each Has His Own Plan

"What do you think?"

"He's like a completely different person. If he wasn't so young, I would have thought Paladin was still alive. He looks more and more like Paladin, except that he's taller and stronger."

"No, he's not as good as Paladin..."

Nob Hill, or the Wilson family estate.

But it was two o'clock in the afternoon and Milo Blackburn had already left.

In the small living room outside Schneider's bedroom.

The old man is talking to his grandson Edward.

The subject of their discussion was Milo, who was visiting their home today.

"Grandfather, are the rumors over there true?"

Edward: "Did Milo really receive divine inspiration?"

The reason why Edward had this suspicion was actually similar to that of the Cabrera brothers who had met Milo not long ago.

They were all familiar with Milo from childhood, especially Edward.

The Cabrera brothers were familiar with Milo before he was sixteen, while Edward was familiar with Milo from the age of sixteen until Palatine's death.

Even though Milo has a diploma from Harvard Divinity School, he was driven to California at the age of sixteen.

The total time he spent at Harvard University was less than two months.

Milo was in California, and Edward had always been responsible for contacting him on behalf of the Wilson family.

To be frank, Milo is in California, and the Blackburn family's influence here is just that.

The troubles that Milo had caused in the past, as well as the influence he had borrowed from here, actually all came from the Wilson family, a relative through marriage.

The Wilson family is one of the biggest local tyrants.

So Young Master Wilson knew very well what Milo Blackburn was like originally.

It was because of Milo's original character that Edward associated Milo's changes with the recent hot news.

Edward, like Victor, doubted whether Milo had really received divine inspiration.

This is mainly related to the Blackburn family's main business.

Their ancestors were pastors on the Mayflower, and Protestant pastors were allowed to get married.

Since then, the Blackburn family has been deeply involved in the religious field.

At its peak, when North America had not yet gained independence, more than 30% of the church pastors in the thirteen states were related to the Blackburn family...

At the beginning of this century, Blackburn moved towards secularism and gradually embraced reality.

But they are still the top religious power in the United States.

Especially in New England, the Blackburn family's religious influence is still the strongest.

In Edward's view, the members of such a charlatan family had received divine revelation.

It doesn't seem to be something that is unreasonable.

The premise is that there really is a God in this world.

Schneider looked at his grandson deeply and shook his head. "Who knows? But we only need to be clear about one thing. That is, now that Paladin is dead, we can no longer treat Milo the same way as before."

"So you called him over today and told him about Morgan Stanley's little tricks?"

Schneider nodded again, "What do you think he will do next?"

Edward thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Grandfather, I'm sorry, I can't think of it. But I know that even we can't get any good things from Morgan."

This is the truth.

Even now, things are looking grim for the California consortium.

The California Consortium is one of the top ten consortiums in the United States. It owns major commercial banks such as Bank of America, Bank of the West, Security Pacific, as well as Wells Fargo and Crocker National in the San Francisco area. It is an emerging large consortium that emerged after World War II.

Even among the largest financial groups in the United States, the California consortium is one of the strongest in terms of financial strength.

But...behind the big American financial groups, without exception, they all control a powerful industrial base that can influence the U.S. economy and people's livelihood.

For example, Rockefeller was the overlord of oil, Cleveland was the overlord of steel, and the DuPont Consortium was the overlord of chemicals.

The experimental basis of the California consortium is the arms industry.

The three consortiums, including Boston and Texas, are part of the US military-industrial complex.

In the United States, or in the Western-dominated world.

Finance is at the top of all industries, but if you want to truly climb to the top.

In finance, without exception, a firm foundation is required.

The foundation of the California consortium is Northrop Corporation, Litton Industries, and Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.

These companies are among the top ten arms dealers in the United States.

But now, a large part of the control of these arms manufacturing companies has gradually fallen into the hands of the large eastern consortium headed by Morgan.

The power position of the California consortium has declined relatively.

This is also the reason why Edward said that they would not be able to get any good results if they faced Morgan.

Even though what Milo is facing now is just a Morgan Stanley, which is only a part of the Morgan's huge empire.

"Let's see what he does. Blackburn has been trying to get out of his comfort zone, and Paladin was the most promising."

Schneider said with a smile, and then seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, right, call Salia and Anna in. If Martha is awake, let Martha come in too. I have something to say to them."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Grandfather, do you want Anna and the others to come into contact with Milo?"

Schneider nodded.

"But." Edward frowned and reminded his grandfather, "I heard that Blackburn is more inclined to cooperate with Adams."

"Oh, if Adams can provide it, we can provide it too."

"What we can provide may not be what Adams can provide!"

Schneider rubbed his forehead and said, "Let them in. Especially Salia. Milo looked at her five more times than Anna just now."

Seeing his grandfather like this, Edward had no choice but to nod and agree, and went out to call his sister and mothers in.

The other side.

After leaving Nob Hill.

Milo quickly figured out why Morgan Stanley was targeting him.

Let's put it this way, Netscape's IPO, or initial public offering, was done by Morgan Stanley.

Before that, Netscape had actually looked for several brokers and market makers.

But those companies were a little confused about Netscape's situation.

At that time, no one had ever listed an Internet company.

I am skeptical about whether a company with losses of tens of millions of dollars and no profit can go public.

Finally, AOL acted as the middleman and introduced Morgan Stanley to Netscape.

Operated by Morgan Stanley and AOL.

Netscape successfully went public, creating the first Internet wealth myth.

The 200,000 shares of Netscape that Milo got.

It was he who asked Wendy to use her family connections to get it from America Online.

Milo spent four million dollars to buy this part of the stock.

That works out to twenty dollars a share.

Netscape's IPO price was $28.5, and now, Netscape's stock price has exceeded $165 per share.

What does this mean? It means that Morgan Stanley is one of the earliest promoters of the Internet!

And now that Morgan Stanley has heated up the market.

They discovered that someone had actually taken the first step and occupied the good seats in the venue...

There was no way Morgan Stanley would let this go.

Thinking of this, Milo said to Wendy in the passenger seat: "Wendy, have someone keep an eye on Yahoo. Mainly the two founders. I think you know what I mean."

"clear!"
