Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

Noon~

Manhattan, fourth floor of The Stanley, Wall Street.

In Sam Rogers' office.

Giles Norton Morgan put down the coffee cup in his hand, took a few folders, said hello to Sam and Pine, and left.

Yesterday, Pine, who had just returned from Boston with his fiancée Misu Klosterman, crossed his legs in a very relaxed mood and asked Sam with a smile.

"David is over at Xiangjiang. Isn't it already midnight?"

"Yes."

"Why wasn't he so diligent in New York?"

"Hahaha~" Sam couldn't help laughing and shaking his head when he heard Pine complaining about his boss's "diligence".

"He just called back twice in a row, and it wasn't all about work..."

"Oh?"

Pine asked with interest: "Then why is he calling you if he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"It's not just for women!" Sam felt that he had finally waited for Pine to speak his mind, and couldn't help complaining.

"Hahahaha!" Pine laughed immediately when he saw the headache and helpless expression on Sam's face.

Amid Pine's laughter, Sam slowly relaxed his tense nerves.

He glanced at the memo on the table, rubbed his stomach with his hand, and said with a smile, "How about I invite you and Misu to eat lobster at Wildfire Restaurant later?"

"Okay!"

"Then let's finish the business as soon as possible."

"Yeah!" Pine glanced at several documents on Sam's desk, took out a notepad from his coat pocket, and nodded.

Sam let out a long breath, looked down at the few items he had just written down on the memo, and said, "The investment plan formulated by the boss in the past few months has achieved its phased goals so far."

"We purchased foreign exchange market futures, gold futures, silver futures, non-ferrous metal futures, etc., and more than a dozen types of forward long contracts on the Chicago Exchange."

"In this part, half of the funds are now managed by Bernard Madoff's company, and the other half is managed by Mu Brandes."

"Two days ago, Bernard Madoff rushed back from Chicago and submitted his investment return summary to me."

"The actual profit and floating profit total about 50 million yuan."

As Sam spoke, he took out the documents sent by Madoff from the drawer and handed them to Pine.

"In terms of the stock market, I followed my boss's plan to buy a large number of company stocks in the energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, electronic and financial sectors, and short-sold a small amount of company stocks in the steel, building materials, textile and retail industries."

"Judging from the current returns, except for some financial stocks that have not seen significant gains, the rest of the stocks we invested in have gained."

"In terms of bond investment, due to the continuous interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in the past six months, current and near-term government bonds are extremely popular in the market."

"Due to the interest rate inversion, the trading volume of forward treasury bonds has become less and less recently, and I don't pay much attention to it anymore."

"And... Nasdaq!"

Sam fiddled with the pen with his fingers, looked at Pine and smiled: "The boss said you have bought shares of Intel and Apple for him?"

"Yes, I will be responsible for the stocks of these two companies."

"Ok!"

“Next, there’s the venture capital firms.”

"The boss and a friend named Donald D. Klein partnered to open a venture capital firm in California's Silicon Valley."

"Mr. Klein contacted me twice. He said he would come to New York from San Francisco this weekend to sign the partnership contract."

"Donald Klein..." Pine stopped writing, looked at Sam, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly.

"Leave it to me when he comes to New York."

"Okay!" Sam quickly wrote this down in his notebook, feeling much more relaxed, and said with a smile.

"Finally, there is Bob's fructose syrup merger plan and the multiple trust funds and charitable funds that the boss wants to establish."

"Bob?"

“Has he completed his investigation into the domestic fructose syrup industry?”

"what's the result?"

“The industry prospects are very good!”

"Where are the others? Are they in the company?"

"Probably not here."

Sam casually pointed to the door and said with a smile: "He has been applying for financing loans from everywhere recently and rarely comes to the company."

"Yeah." Pine stopped writing and raised his head to look at Sam. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it would be better to speak out and said directly.

"I voluntarily resigned from all my working positions so that I could fulfill some of my personal ideals and aspirations when I was young in my spare time helping Giles and David manage their assets."

"For example, take your lover and children to travel around the world and visit every unforgettable corner!"

"So Sam, there is no relationship between us, but we need to work together to make the work progress more smoothly~"

"Yeah!" Sam nodded in understanding.

Pine felt very satisfied and packed up his belongings. When he stood up to leave, Sam walked him to the door and said.

"One more thing~"

"The boss just said on the phone that he would transfer 20 million from Bernard Madoff's company, plus another 10 million from his and Miss Lilith's joint account, for a total of 30 million yuan. In his personal account at Hong Kong Citibank.”

"Oh? What does he want to do with the money?"

Sam shrugged with a smile: "He said that we would set up several companies in Hong Kong and Tokyo to facilitate our future international trade and financial investments there as planned."

"Okay! Leave it to me." Pine nodded readily and agreed, making an appointment with Sam to meet at the Wildfire Restaurant later.

Sam stood at the door of the office. After watching Pine walk into the elevator, his heart that had been hanging just now slowly relaxed.

Sam and his old friend Mu Brandes both have their own speculations about Pine's willingness to accept David's invitation and resign from all previous jobs.

Sam believed that Pine, who was already over 30 years old, must no longer be willing to have little time to consider personal issues or achieve some personal wishes due to busy work and other factors.

Mu Brandes believes that although the Morgan family still seems to be very powerful, it cannot have the final say like the "united" Rockefeller family.

Moreover, Rockefeller's power was not only reflected in the oil industry and financial fields. .

In the past decade or so, the Rockefeller family, led by David Rockefeller Sr., has basically completed the "control" of Wall Street's top elites, including Wall Street's most famous investment banks Merrill Lynch and Lehman, and New York's most famous Maybank. Bank Negara, Citibank, etc.

besides. .

Sam put his hands in his pockets and returned to his office. He walked to his desk and looked down at the call record he had just made, and fell into deep thought.
