Beiyang 1917

"No matter how much money you have, anyway, even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it here and there. It's good to tip one dollar. Giving ten dollars will not only make people treat you as a fool, a playboy, or an upstart. What can I do?"

The girl turned her head to look around the restaurant, then lowered her head and leaned over, "Look at that old man in the corner, I dare say he is worth at least a few million, but he only gave a tip of fifty cents to the waiter!"

Wang Geng turned his head to look at it, grinned and said, "Look at him, he just ate a $3 sandwich, and a tip of fifty cents is already a big deal!"

The guy was shouting in his heart, damn, what kind of sandwich costs three dollars, I can eat at least thirty of these sandwiches at the stall at the entrance of Central Park!What era is this?These were the days when a bottle of Coca-Cola cost five cents!

The delicious steak in front of me is only three dollars, if it is placed in an ordinary western restaurant outside, it will stop at one dollar!

"What were you talking about secretly with that old Anderson in the morning? You asked the secretary to lure me away with chocolate for so long?" Kelly recalled the previous incident, and now she began to interrogate Wang Geng.

"Curiosity killed the cat! Nurse Kelly!" Wang Geng swallowed the steak in his mouth and took a sip of hot orange juice.

"Curiosity killed the cat, don't interrupt, I see that the two of you must be discussing ulterior motives, you didn't see the light shining in the eyes of the old Anderson behind you when we left, it was like winning a lottery Yes!" Nurse Kelly said persistently.

"Of course Anderson won the jackpot. An angel like me came down from the sky to save him and Pfizer! I gave him and his management team 14% of the shares at once. It would be strange if he was unhappy!"

Wang Geng was a bit disapproving, Nima, he couldn’t bear to let his children play like a wolf, I used the 14% shares to tie Anderson and his management team firmly to his side, otherwise why would you ask someone to work hard for you on the board of directors? A joint venture proposal?

"14% of the shares? Isn't Pfizer owned by Anderson? Where did you get the shares of Pfizer? You are just a West Point Chinese student who just got $[-] from Edison and General Electric!"

Kelly was confused when she heard this, and the longer she stayed with Wang Geng, the more the girl felt that the young man in front of her was confusing.

"Of course Pfizer is owned by the Pfizer family. Old Charles Pfizer chose John Anderson as his successor, but most of the company's shares are still held by the Pfizer family. Anderson is just a senior professional manager. Of course he himself It is taking care of Pfizer as a family!"

Wang Geng patiently explained, seeing that the girl was still asking questions like a curious baby, the guy frowned and said,

"Miss Kelly, it involves a lot of business secrets, please forgive me for not revealing too much, can't you trust the vision of Thomas Edison and John Anderson, the old guys who have been in the market for a long time?

Cooperating with me is a great opportunity for them and their companies. I am the angel sent by God to rescue them and help them tide over the difficulties! "

At this moment, Wang Geng's voice was deep, magnetic and full of charm, and the beautiful nurse on the opposite side was stunned for a moment.

"Excuse me, sir, did you seem to mention Thomas Edison and John Anderson just now?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the table behind Wang Geng, with an obvious New England accent with silent r.

Wang Geng turned around and saw a well-dressed, fat middle-aged man with a big nose and two beards on the table behind him. Looking at him alone, there is no food residue on the plate in front of him, a glass of red wine in his hand, and an open "Wall Street Journal" next to the plate.

"Aha... What a coincidence, it turns out that you are a popular figure in the newspaper news these two days, our respected Brooklyn bridge jumping hero! The famous Mr. Wang, if you don't mind, please come and have a chat?" Obviously this The middle-aged man had already recognized Wang Geng who was not wearing a scarf in front of him.

Nima, this guy has a lot of flair. He knows that I am a hero of the Brooklyn Bridge and an honorary citizen of New York. I wonder if he heard me when I mentioned $[-] to Kelly just now. How do you look at it?

Kelly looked at the middle-aged man opposite and felt very familiar for a while, but couldn't remember who he was, but he must have often appeared in New York newspapers, and the exposure and attention of that man was probably higher than that of the mayor of New York. !

The girl was stunned for a while, but Wang Geng had already wiped his hands with a napkin, got up, turned around and sat opposite the middle-aged man, stretched out his hand and said with a smile,

"Wang Geng, a third-year student at West Point Military Academy, a Chinese student, who is your name?"

"You can just call me Jack, and I'll call you the king. I'm old enough to be your father. Why don't you be more casual, and when you meet strangers, just chat casually."

The middle-aged man put down his wine glass, casually stretched out his hand and gently shook Wang Geng's hand. The cigar in the other hand was clearly of the highest quality, at least better than the one in Anderson's office.

Wang Geng turned his head and smiled apologetically at Kaili who was behind him, and said, can you order another ice cream?I'll just have a casual chat with this gentleman.

"Okay, Jack, you look like 40 years old at most, but in China, your age is indeed the age of my father's generation. Come, for your health!" Wang Geng raised the juice he brought over and saluted him .

"Hehe, young man, you are really good at talking. I'm not as young as you say, and I wish you all the best!" The mysterious man named Jack raised his wine glass as a gesture, and took a sip. .

"I happened to see news about you in the newspaper just now, and heard one or two familiar names, so I would like to say hello to you. Why, have you met my old friend Thomas Edison recently?" Jack smiled slightly on the road.

Nima, everyone said he was an old friend of Thomas Edison. He was 70 years old, and the middle-aged man in front of him looked like he was in his fifties. I'm afraid you know Edison, but Edison doesn't know you?Wang Geng cursed in his heart.

"Huh? Don't believe me? Strictly speaking, Thomas should be regarded as my father's old friend, but he was also one of my idols when I was young, but his temper of working hard has never changed! I saw him last time on his 70th birthday. On his side, there has been no news about him recently." Jack obviously saw the suspicion on Wang Geng's face, and explained slowly.

At this time, Kaili behind Wang Geng finally remembered who Jack was, but seeing Wang Geng's self-righteous appearance, the girl didn't tell him yet, and called the waiter to order an ice cream by herself. He started to eat, but his ears were erect and he was listening carefully to the conversation between the two men.

"Jack, I met Mr. Edison last night. Although Mr. Edison is 70 years old, he is still healthy and strong. It is really admirable. This morning, I talked with Mr. John Anderson for a long time. I would like to ask, Jack What do you do?"

The guests who can come to the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan to dine are either rich or expensive. Jack in front of him has a graceful temperament and an innate arrogance in his bones. His eyes are wise and sharp. He may be an opponent in the future!

Wang Geng didn't want to offend people easily and casually, so let's find out his tone first.

"Young man, I have to admit that you aroused my curiosity. Jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge to save someone requires enough courage and luck, as well as good water skills. This is for you as a West Point student. Say, it's not a problem."

To my surprise and curiosity, a Chinese cadet at West Point claimed to be an angel sent by God to save and help General Electric and Pfizer. I have to say, young man, you surprised me! "

Jack looked at Wang Gengdao methodically, but there was a hint of inquiry and doubt in his eyes.

"Aren't you going to tell me your name? If I'm right, you're Mr. Morgan!"

Wang Geng finally remembered who the person in front of him was when he glanced at a certain photo in the Wall Street Journal yesterday when he was flipping through the newspaper!
