John Brown is a very famous legal lawyer in North America. He is also a partner of the world-renowned law firm McKenzie and one of the owners of this huge law firm.
John Brown has taken on countless cases in his life, but he has never encountered such a strange thing.
From what he had observed over the past two days, he concluded that the Dragon Fund should be a private equity fund with a very large capital scale. This could be determined simply from the fifty-six luxury homes owned by the original owner of the fund, a man named Cole Smith.
However, John Brown, who was very familiar with large-scale funds in North America and even the world, just couldn't remember who the Dragon Fund was. It was said that the owner of the fund had so many luxury houses, and the size of the Dragon Fund should be at least 50 billion US dollars. However, John Brown couldn't think of the origin of such a large fund. He also called many of his former clients, who were shareholders or even bosses of many large banks or companies in North America, but they had never heard of the name of the Dragon Fund.
However, John Brown did get some useful things from Timothy Mellon, the core figure of the fourth generation of the Mellon family.
However, the little useful information he got from Timothy Mellon scared John Brown a lot.
He still remembered the news that Timothy Mellon told him when he spoke on the phone the night before.
"...Dragon Fund? Sorry, John, I have never heard of such a fund in North America. John, are you mistaken? Although I trust your judgment, I will definitely have an impression of a fund with such a large scale."
"...What? You said there is a KY Investment Fund?" There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Just when John Brown thought the call was disconnected, Timothy Mellon's voice came back, "John, is the owner of the KY Investment Fund you mentioned a blond man named Cole Smith? Well, if I'm not mistaken, this Cole Smith should be over 70 years old."
"Timothy, how do you know all this? Yes, I met this Cole Smith yesterday..." John Brown told Timothy everything that happened yesterday, and the answer given by the other party immediately made John Brown break out in a cold sweat.
"John, we have been friends for more than 20 years, and you have handled a lot of things for our Mellon family, so I sincerely advise you here not to tell anyone else what you learned yesterday, and don't ask anyone else. You only need to remember one thing, that Cole Smith is someone you must never mess with."
"Why? Timothy, why do I feel that you are so afraid of Cole Smith who is about to meet God?"
"Haha, this is not just fear. To be honest, I am very afraid of that person. John, considering your age, you should have experienced the stock market crash in 1987, but you should not have had any deep feelings about it at that time, right?"
"Yes, I was only 21 years old in 1987 and had just graduated from college. I only vaguely remember that the stock market crash caused many people to jump off buildings, but I was still a pauper at that time, so the stock market crash had nothing to do with me."
"Then remember this. During the stock market crash, an investment fund became a star. During the crash, this fund once claimed to invest 8 billion US dollars to buy back the stocks of major companies to support the market. According to our subsequent speculation, the funds used by this fund to support the market at that time were very likely close to 20 billion US dollars! Because after the stock market crash, this fund successfully became the major shareholder of the 27 largest companies in the United States, including our Mellon family's Mellon New York Bank, as well as ****, Citibank, General Electric, General Motors, Boeing, ExxonMobil, and Walmart. Later, the Boston Consortium had a conflict of interest with this investment fund for some reason, so the Boston Consortium's group of softies once attacked Cole Smith and wanted to use the plane crash to kill Cole Smith. As a result, Cole Smith was fine, but a few months later, several core figures of the Boston Consortium died in a car accident inexplicably!"
There was silence again on the other end of the line, and then Timothy Mellon's voice sounded again: "This investment fund is what you call the KY Investment Fund! It's just that after the stock market crash, the KY Investment Fund has completely fallen silent, and there has been no major movement for decades. Although about 8% of the shares of our Mellon Bank of New York were changed and controlled by the Vanguard Fund, the core members of our family all know that it was just a cover for the KY Investment Fund. To this day, 8% of the shares of our family bank are still controlled by this fund, and the shares of the remaining 26 companies that were acquired in large quantities during the stock market crash have not changed much..."
John Brown's hair stood on end when he heard this. He quickly asked, "Timothy, do you mean to say that the KY Investment Fund has always been there, but it has just changed its appearance?"
"It should be like this. I just judged it based on the changes in the shares, but I stick to my judgment. And before my father and my uncle passed away, they also made the same judgment. John, this KY investment fund is very scary. My father and my uncle were very afraid of this investment fund back then. They would rather lose face and make friends with Cole Smith than offend him. The unclear deaths of those people in the Boston consortium made the top families and consortiums in the United States very afraid of that person. So, John, I advise you as an old friend. Since you have accepted their commission, you only need to do your job well. Don't try to explore the true face of this evil dragon fund. You can't afford to offend this group of people. Also, remember what I said before, after you complete this commission, it is best to keep everything that happened in the past few days in your stomach, and don't leak it to the outside world, otherwise..."
