Beiyang 1917

"Young man, you have a good plan! What if the situation in Russia is irretrievable, and the Rockefellers give up raising the Russian bonds that are like waste paper?" The head of Morgan is obviously not optimistic about Wang Geng's risky adventure!

Wang Geng snuffed out the cigar butt in his hand, stood up and paced back and forth in front of Jack Morgan's huge desk, raised his head and looked directly at the head of Morgan, and said slowly,

"Jack, it depends on human effort. Although I can't guarantee where the situation in Russia will eventually develop, there will definitely be relapses within a period of time after the incident begins!"

"What do you mean by repetition? After the tsarist government was overthrown, it turned around again? The quagmire of the European War has not yet come to an end. The Allies are too busy to take care of themselves on the western front, and they are powerless to help the tsar regain power on the eastern front!"

Obviously, the Morgan family has a bad opinion of the Tsar. I don’t know if this has something to do with the fact that the Russian government chose the Rockefeller family instead of the Morgan family to underwrite the national debt. Obviously, the Morgan family is watching the excitement with a cold eye at this moment!

"Jack, what I'm referring to repeatedly is that the new Russian government may not dare to say that it will give up all foreign agreements and borrowing responsibilities in the Tsarist Russia era. A new government is unstable internally and externally. It is their first choice for foreign policy to obtain the recognition of major countries in the world. !"

Wang Geng’s eyes are very firm. In history, Russia came to power after the February Revolution in 1917. It was a bourgeois government. The October Revolution will have to wait half a year later. Of course, no one knows whether the butterfly has flapped its wings now!

"Hmm.: The fastest to update the text chapter: ... You have some truth in what you said! But the risk is still too great. Old Jack invested in your 49% investment bank shares, not for you to take such risks! "

Jack Morgan was still full of doubts. The Morgan family had never been as powerful as the Rockefeller guy in terms of influence in Russia, so he felt a little uncertain.

"Jack, in fact, we don't need Russian bonds to rebound to too many heights. We can't spend too much money on cheap Russian bonds. For example, bonds with a face value of 1000 rubles. Maybe we will only spend 10 rubles when the time comes. Got it!"

Wang Geng looked at the face of the head of Morgan, and said with a smile,

"Of course we don't need to wait for the price of Russian bonds to rebound to 1000 rubles. No, we don't need to wait for 500 rubles. Even if we sell short when it rebounds to 200 rubles, it will already be 20 times the profit!"

"What if the new government announces the abolition of all the tsarist Russian government's borrowing responsibilities and signed treaties?" The head of Morgan is obviously more pessimistic about the situation in Russia!

"Jack, that's something the Rockefeller family has to consider. Regarding the situation and influence in Russia, they are the first to bear the brunt of the American consortium! If I were Rockefeller, I would put pressure on the new Russian government to issue a statement:

Claiming that the new government is the legal successor of the tsarist government, and will continue to undertake the treaties and obligations signed by Russia with other countries, including the payment of national debts when they expire! "

Wang Geng even thought about what measures Rockefeller would take at that time!

Nima, I don't believe it, once the Russian bonds worth hundreds of millions of dollars in your hand become waste paper, you Rockefeller will be indifferent!

After being told by Wang Geng, Jack Morgan gradually felt that things might really develop like this. If the Russian bonds worth [-] million U.S. dollars in his hands were to be turned into waste paper, he would never stand still , we must find a way to avoid such extreme situations!

"Is it still too late to intervene in the situation in Russia?" Jack Morgan's thoughts came alive!

Nima, why did this old guy become stupid all of a sudden?Wang Geng patiently explained,

"Jack, problems in Russia are our chance to make money. I think we are willing to admit defeat. The depreciation of the Russian bonds in the hands of the Rockefeller family is not your responsibility. On the contrary, when we buy the bottom and go in to take over the offer, we really become Rockefeller and Savior of the Tsar!"

"The savior? Yes, I'm confused. We want to be the savior when Russia collapses, but Rockefeller will probably scold us for taking advantage of the fire?" A smile appeared on Jack Morgan's face!

Obviously, the head of the Morgan family is in a good mood to get a big bargain from Rockefeller. At this moment, he feels that Wang Geng's plan seems to have a sliver of feasibility, and the risk does not seem to be as great as imagined!

"But what if the Rockefeller family is really strong and does nothing, and we have a lot of Russian bonds like waste paper in our hands, what should we do?" Jack Morgan pointed out the worst possibility!

"Jack, if the Rockefeller family surrenders, I don't think we have anything to be polite about. What they can't do, the Morgan consortium can do, whether it's organizing the Tsarist government-in-exile, or negotiating with the new government personally. I believe that what we can do is bigger! After all, we have invested so little money, how can barefoot be afraid of wearing shoes!"

There was a hint of arrogance in Wang Geng's voice!

"Yes! The Russian bonds held by the Rockefeller family cost hundreds of millions of dollars. When we bought the bottom, we spent at most a few million to 1000 million, but once it was done, it would be at least ten or twenty times Profit!" Jack Morgan's eyes finally became hot!

"Jack, the main battlefield of the Morgan consortium should be on the bonds of Britain and France. After all, the national debt of Britain and France exceeds 20 billion US dollars, which is much larger than the [-] million Russian bonds!" Wang Geng reminded.

"Wang, you can't hide in that New York city hospital. The registration of your investment bank can be done tomorrow. It's more convenient for Old Jack on Wall Street to do something. I think you can go directly to my office." The headquarters is here to work, I need you to be my staff at any time!"

Jack Morgan set his mind on Wang Geng, so how can such a ready-made think tank, consultant, and conspiratorial wizard not be able to do it!

"Jack, you said that you personally funded my investment bank and let your daughter hold the shares, but I am just a third-year Chinese student at West Point Military Academy. It seems too attractive to rashly appear beside you, the financial czar of Wall Street. Pay attention!"

Wang Geng didn't want to continue to be the focus of the media and news, and if he suddenly became the person who haunted Morgan, he would definitely attract everyone's attention!

"Are you sure you don't want to come to work with me? I'll just call your principal at West Point. Anyway, when you graduate in the summer, just go back to attend the graduation ceremony!

On Wall Street, in Manhattan, and in New York, countless people would never want to be by my side. How dare you give up such an opportunity? "Jack Morgan looked at Wang Geng playfully and said.

"Jack, you even sent your daughter to my investment bank. It doesn't make any difference whether I go by your side or not. Although you only hold 49% of the shares, the real money of 2200 million US dollars is actually yours. Your investment, you are kind to me!"

What Wang Geng said was true. Jack’s father, JP Morgan, was the most benevolent venture capital founder in the world in his later years. The British White Star Shipping Company had his investment. The Titanic was almost built with old Morgan’s money!

At this moment, Jack Morgan's investment of 2200 million US dollars in himself is actually quite large. When Cadillac Motor Company was sold to GM, it was only 540 million US dollars. Wang Geng's investment in Jack Morgan Appreciation is not grateful, that is not the truth!

"Wang! In the words of you Chinese, the fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders. I insist that your investment bank office should be located in the place closest to Wall Street, and my Morgan headquarters at 23 Wall Street is your best choice!

Your worries are completely unnecessary. I have a dedicated elevator at the headquarters, which can directly reach the top floor from the basement garage. Your investment bank office is located next to my office. There are dedicated corridors and portals to enter and exit, and no one will see it. , I think there is no need to discuss this matter anymore! "

The undeniable final word of the head of Morgan!
