Chapter 153

Chapter 153 East Coast group The feeling of Paris is indeed correct. The person Robert Morgenthau waved to was Abel. Peggy even resisted and didn't want to go. She was taken away by Abel. In this case. She is not easy to fight. At that time, the entire reception numbered hundreds of people. Almost all eyes were on the two of them. Initially, most of these gazes were within this circle. But now all eyes in that circle were on her and Abel. This circle's attention naturally turned to the two of them for a while. Peggy is helpless. Finally, still carried by him, she went to meet her grandfather and the other elders. There were seven or eight people in the discussion circle that Robert was participating in. At first glance, they all had gray hair and looked like old men over seventy years old. "Mr. Smith, good evening." Robert's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this. He couldn't realize that Peggy had been dragged here by Abel. Robert did not expect that after calling Abel, Abel also took out the Morgenthau pearl. In this case, Shouldn't Abel let go of Peggy and walk this path alone? Do you see that there are all old people here? Are they all big bosses? Abel sat at the reception desk for so long, could it be that he still didn't know who the people around him were? If you don't know, you can say so. If you know, start again. If he even captured his beloved niece. Robert doubts it. This child may be secretly taking revenge on himself. I wanted to embarrass Paige in front of these people, which would embarrass Robert too. Luckily, Robert said he has a strong personal sense of culture and a deep attachment to the city. This little thing won't really make him angry. "Good evening, Mr. Morgenthau and everyone. Dear old men. Hello, my name is Abel Smith." After walking in front of these people, Abel smiled, saying neither modest nor modest. Right now he is in a very comfortable mood. Like the old men who came to the Texas Assembly before. According to him, these people are not really strong. Really let these people have their current status and influence. is their last name. is the ancestor behind their surname. But their ancestors had long since turned to ashes. The bones may be gone. These people are just protecting the legacy left by these temporary heroes. both a reincarnated person and a super talented person. Don't say that you are just facing the grandson of the heroes of that time. He thought that if he could appear at their time. At that point, they may not actually be the ones talking about it! Nearly a year of hard work, plus invincible experience in the capital market. This has changed the mentality of the former artistic genius, former internet writer. This made him calmer than anyone else in front of these people. His performance. This also surprised those present. Because in this realm, even in this world. Very few people can meet them for the first time and know their identities. Still able to maintain that calm expression. There are even many high-ranking people living in the White Palace. Meet them for the first time. There are some, they cannot be as calm as Abel's eyes. "Hello, Mr. Smith." David Rockefeller, who appeared to be the oldest, spoke. It's on the vine The head of the Rockefeller family, who has undergone many heart replacement surgeries, smiled and said: "Nice to meet you. Makes me feel like I met Peter when he was younger." "But you're younger now. And your experience is more legendary than his." "My name is David Rockefeller." Finally, the old man smiled and held out his hand to Abel: "Once again, it's nice to meet you." "Ha~" Abel shook his hand: "Nice to meet you." Perhaps not everyone present expected David Rockefeller to be so proactive. After the two shook hands. Not every few seconds. One of the characters who receives the most attention from the public. John Chris Morgan smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Smith. My name is John Chris Morgan." "Like David. Nice to meet you." John Chris Morgan doesn't talk as much as David Rockefeller. As an opening, he contacted Abel. Abel also smiled and shook hands: "Hello, Mr. Morgan." This scene did not only reach the eyes of Robert and those around him. More than 99% of people at the front desk also saw it. Not far away, in the small circle of rich girls who have not yet dispersed. Paris muttered, surprised: "Catherine, the situation is not as you said. It seems that these two people like you very much." Of course, Catherine saw it too. She didn't expect that, David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan. These two people can be considered giants in this country. I talked and laughed like that with Abel, I even contacted him first. Catherine said in surprise: "What's going on? Isn't he an old Southern man?" Paris could not answer his question. It must be said that among those present, they were the most elite group. I can guess why John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller loved Abel so much. An investment genius who is even more fashionable and powerful than the stock angels of the year. First is the example of angel investors: who wouldn't want a cash cow like that? Line of sight to the circle is most valuable. After Morgan and Rockefeller. The other elders in the circle also smiled, shook Abel's hand, and introduced themselves. Except for Morgenthau and his two brothers. Three old men remained, including one named Reed Cargill. Member of the Cargill family and member of the Cargill Board of Directors. Cargill, like Koch, is one of the two largest privately held companies in the United States. At the same time, his name also resonated more. It is one of the four largest grain trading companies in the world and has the C in ABCD. There was also an old man named John Pritzker. This John Pritzker was the oldest and youngest person present. His last name is also legendary. The Pritzker family, owners of the Hyatt hotel group, are one of the richest giants in America. To avoid taxes, the family founder designed more than 1,000 unrelated family trusts to hold family assets. The founder hopes that the family assets preserved in this structure will last at least until 2042, despite the limited equity and complex trust system. In the end, it is still difficult to escape a complicated heart. In recent years, internal conflicts in this family have become increasingly serious. Of the more than a thousand trusts, it is estimated that there is no way to sustain it until 2042. The last old man was named Thomas Peterffy, and his status seemed to be the lowest of those present. Because he is outside this circle and always has a smile on his face. In fact, compared to others, Abel clearly knew the existence of this Thomas Peterffy. Strictly speaking, the two always go hand in hand. Thomas Peterffy is the founder of Interactive Brokers. He was a pioneer in computerization and programming on Wall Street in the United States. was the first wealthy person to introduce computers into large-scale stock trading. As for the remaining two Morgenthauses, one of them is a New York state prosecutor. One of them was Robert's brother, Rod Morgenthau. The other is New Jersey prosecutor Raleigh Morgenthau, Robert's younger brother. It's truly a family of prosecutors, with only one Supreme Court justice missing. The identities of these people were essentially the same as the last time Abel visited a golf course in suburban Houston. The families of Texas business leaders I met all had nearly the same characteristics. Abel's attitude towards them was still the same as the last time he worked with the Texas corporation. But he knew the power behind these people. Overall, it must be much stronger than Texas society. Let's not talk about other people. Rockefeller and Morgan two people. represents two of the ten largest companies in the United States. Those who stayed, Behind them lies the weak stability of these financial companies. Strictly speaking, these people should be called the East Coast Group. It is a giant power entrenched on the east coast of America, and its influence affects and extends to more than half of America. Compared to some other companies, there are West Coast and South Coast. These wealthy East Coast corporations are America's true white flag. The thirteen states where the United States was founded are all located on the East Coast. Compared to this side, West Coast and Texas can only be considered rising stars. The final meeting with the Texas group finally took place at Gujing Wubo. After that, with the exception of John J. Brown, the relationship with Smith Capital became increasingly closer. Abel initially expected that what would allow him to join the Texas company would not happen immediately. He didn't know what the other person was thinking or for some other reason. But today, they are the giants of the East Coast. Abel noticed that the behavior of these old men was similar to Texas society. After we got to know each other, we talked about all sorts of things. Although the conversations were mostly about business matters, they were also just plain fun. For example, let's talk about the current oil price of about $22 and its impact on the United States and the world. These are normal people who will feel good when they hear it. But the world's elite only hear but do not feel much. Coincidentally, Abel was probably not considered elite in this circle. At this moment, after Abel finished listening, he felt like there was a group of high-level key people discussing something that he didn't quite understand. It's just that what these people discuss is mainly about economics and finance. After hearing this, Abel immediately felt sleepy. He doesn't like hearing these things and often he can't even understand them. He felt that instead of wasting energy learning these things, it would be better to create a better and more useful think tank. When faced with choices and difficulties in business, directly ask the consulting agency to give you some options. Among these options, choose those that are most beneficial to you or are least difficult to implement or have a higher success rate. It is enough to assume the role of the pinnacle of the sea in capital and financial markets. This industry specializes in surgery. Abel believes there is no shame in being okay with what he doesn't understand or isn't good at. Anyway As long as Wall Street does not fail, labor and capital are the strongest! With such a heart, he did not participate in such high-level discussions. It was Peggy Morgenthau, standing in the circle, a smile on her face. Look at these most famous old men in America, debating like one major political party. Her sweet performance finally caught the attention of the big guys. David Rockefeller asked: "Mr. Smith. Some time ago, you had a very good track record in the international crude oil market. So, what impact do you think keeping crude oil prices at $22 will have in the current situation?" Some time ago, Abel commanded and controlled Smith Capital. During the two months from early September to late October, during this cycle of crude oil price fluctuations. Complete long-term and short-term investment experience, with total profits of more than four or five billion US dollars. This matter can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from people who have close relationships with Wall Street banks. In the eyes of these old men, that is no secret. This is also Abel's biggest hidden danger at this time, and he has realized it. But there is still no good solution. Here's what was said. Now he no longer has his own big bank! That's for later so I won't talk about it now. Abel was faced with this question from David Rockefeller and he noticed that the eyes of the old men were all directed towards him. Abel smiled and said: "To be honest, I'm not good at these things. On these things alone, any Wharton graduate could surpass me. » "Words about crude oil prices" Abel laughed: "I just know that the lower the price of crude oil, the lower the price of gasoline for driving ~~" His unique reaction surprised the old men. David Rockefeller: "Is that all?" "Exactly." Abel nodded affirmatively: "That's what I understand." "Forehead" David Rockefeller was speechless. Don't say the old man is speechless. Not daring to speak from beginning to end, Peggy Morgenthau, who was as calm and docile as a little quail, was also very speechless at this moment. This answer On the Internet, any student's answer can be hundreds of times better than this one! "It's true," said John Chris Morgan: "So Mr. Smith. How to make money on international crude oil, whether you buy or sell it? » "We don't want to learn your secrets, we're just curious. It's okay if we don't say anything, after all, each of us will have our own secrets." John Chris Morgan's question is about old gifts. Even most people on Wall Street wanted to ask Abel a question. Look at the successful people on Wall Street. There are people like James Simmons. Obviously a mathematician, but he went to Wall Street to play math and was very successful. The rate of return even exceeds that of Buffett and Dalio of the Bridgewater Fund. Like Buffett, half experience, half talent, plus a cautious and stable personality. Belongs to the traditional Wall Street camp, relying on stability to make money. There are also people, like Soros, who wield a knife and are ready to become the sword of Wall Street, using American power to dominate the world. There are also geniuses who rely on pure talent like Peter Lynch, Angel Scholar of the Year. Wall Street is not big, but there are many investment styles here. But the vast majority of major players do not belong to any of the above factions. They act as dealers, players and referees. He can also get real inside information sooner than anyone else. Maintain high annual profit margins and maintain very high profits each year. The last faction is the faction with the largest number of people on Wall Street. It can be said that the current giants of Wall Street all came from this school. It depends on size and good relationships with the government and the Federal Reserve. Add to that the act of market manipulation, sometimes even taking risks, withdrawing network cables to make a profit. And like Abel, all over Wall Street. After looking around, it looks like there's only a little bit of Peter Lynch left now. But Peter Lynch is very careful when acting and rarely reveals his entire point of view. If you can avoid risks, investors in the stock market will not take any risks, which is stable. Stable and profitable, profit margin is also high. This has made acts of providence legendary. Even Peter Lynch retired early, it took about ten years to become famous and retire. Peter Lynch's outside statement read: "I have exhausted my talents and to continue would only disappoint investors." » Retired, between the ages of forty and fifty. This age is still very young in the world of financial oligarchy. Peter Lynch is already Wall Street's most famous talent. Abel is a bit like Peter Lynch. But Abel's investing style, compared with the cautious Peter Lynch, is that of a pure gambler. Except for individual players and crazy people, and people with little capital. There has never been anyone on Wall Street like Abel, who walked a tightrope every time he invested. It's like playing baccarat in Las Vegas. Each time, everyone feels like they are ahead in the game, win or lose. This investment style is very similar to the investment style of beginner amateur retail investors. Everyone seemed to be more cautious than Abel. But please stay. Wall Street elites are reviewing Abel's entire trading process. In some cases, I found that Abel was simply going against the market. But the end result was that Abel's small fortune created a large fortune, his profits growing astonishingly each time. Once or twice, sometimes several times. Some people may still suspect that he is an insider. This type of inside information is not available in the market through certain channels. But he does it every time. And his past also proves that he was on Wall Street so he couldn't have had that level of inside information. This made the situation all the more unbelievable for the tens of thousands of Wall Street elites studying Abel. Many have replicated their business model and some are trying to imitate it. The end result is on the way. These people discovered this instead of imitating Abel's style and approach to investing. It's better to take the money and go to Las Vegas to have fun. At least there you can get faster results. After a year, Abel became the wolf of Wall Street. I don't know how many billions of brain cells have been consumed by Wall Street elites and financial researchers in the United States. In the end, everyone reluctantly came to the following conclusion: This guy cannot imitate and learn anything. He could do that, or he could predict that he is a prophet. Or he has great talent in this field. In short, we have arrived at metaphysics. Science cannot explain. (end of this chapter)
