Chapter 738: Night Visit to Morgan

…

The United States has the longest rail network in the world at 220,000 kilometers. But the equipment is old and the electrification is only 1,600 kilometers. The huge aviation market and strong automobile culture have made railway companies pay more attention to freight. In the whole of the United States, except for the American National Railroad Passenger Corporation, there is hardly a decent railroad passenger company.

In addition, before the well-known California high-speed rail, the United States was not really a high-speed rail desert. Amtrak has a high-speed rail line called the ‘Acceler Express’.

This high-speed rail line that runs through the Northeast Corridor of the United States, connecting Washington, D.C. and Boston, and passing through Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York is the first high-speed train in North America in the true sense, with a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour, but due to the Northeast Corridor railway line The facilities are seriously aging, and the Acele Express can only travel at full speed on a part of the road. It usually travels at an average speed of about 115 kilometers per hour, only about half of its top speed.

Even so, it was enough for Guo Shouyun. After all, Washington is no more than four hundred kilometers from New York. It’s not a waste of time to take out 4 hours to experience a different kind of American railroad.

“Boss, we’re in New York!”

Wang Jue reminded in the luxury two-bedroom sleeper of Amtrak.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and put away “The Barbarian at the Door” co-authored by Brian Burrough and John Hillier. This is not the first time he has read this book, but every time he reads it, he has a different harvest. The takeover battle over Reynolds Nabex brought together all the financial powers of Wall Street. Although it has been more than ten years, the financial life in it can still give him a lot of inspiration. Therefore, this book is also one of the few books that Guo Shouyun’s desk often reads.

When leaving Washington, Guo Shouyun only brought Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing, and four bodyguards including Matthew. The light car is simple, so it is very convenient to get on and off.

Because of the light makeup and the Americans’ blindness to Asians, no one would recognize that this tall and sturdy Chinese is the top big man in the American business world!

As for Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing, from what Americans think of Chinese beauties exposed by the media, you know that in their eyes, a slender figure with delicate facial features is definitely not a beauty! Kardashian-style stunners with **** and big hips and **** mouths are their favorites.

Although the Kunpeng had already diverted his attention, Guo Shouyun still chose to keep it as secret as possible when he came to New York this time. So after leaving the train station, he did not call the company or the bodyguard of the Long Island Villa to send a car to pick him up. Instead, he took a taxi and stayed at a three-star hotel in New York City.

“Matthew?”

“What’s your order?” Matthew, who heard the call, hurried over to answer.

“Arrange a car…!”

Guo Shouyun explained it seriously. Knowing Matthew quickly left to prepare.

“Boss, why don’t we just go back to the villa on Long Island?” Wang Jue asked curiously.

“Of course I want to go back. But I don’t know how many eyes are staring at it. As soon as I entered the house, I think all the dignitaries in New York will know that I am in New York. By then, the four hours we spent on the railway will probably be in vain. .”

As Guo Shouyun’s wealth and power continue to increase, his schedule has become the intelligence that countless institutions want to know. In particular, Mr. Stan O’Neill, Merrill’s chief executive, sent a car to follow him every time he came to New York from outside Woodland on Long Island.

Although he was about to start a fight with this guy for control of Merrill Lynch, Guo Shouyun still admired his perseverance.

Of course, in addition to Stan O’Neal, there are many people who are interested in him. Such as the Schiff family, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, etc.

“Wang Jue, Xiaojing, Merrill Lynch’s acquisition has reached a critical period now. We must complete the acquisition of it before Stan O’Neill notices the change. Before realizing this goal, any caution cannot be overdone.”

“Yes!”

After the two responded at the same time, Wu Xiaojing said, “Then what should we do now?”

“Wait!”

“Wait?”

Guo Shouyun looked at the scorching sun at noon outside, and nodded slowly with a calm expression.

A little bit of time passed, and the night of winter came much earlier than that of spring and summer. When the neon lanterns covered the whole city and Guo Shouyun had dinner, he finally got the answer he wanted.

After the phone rang, Guo Shouyun pressed the answer button immediately.

“Boss, the target has gone home.”

“Do you need anyone else to visit besides the target?”

“Apart from the target’s family, no suspicious individuals have been noted at this time.”

“Got it, where are you waiting. I’ll be there soon.”

“Yes!”

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun took out his suit and put it on. These old nobles attach great importance to etiquette, and he doesn’t want to make mistakes in this regard and make the negotiation this evening any possibility of failure.

“Boss, are you going out?”

Looking at Guo Shouyun in a neat suit, Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing said in surprise.

“Yeah! Go out temporarily, you can stay here, I’ll be back soon.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t explain much, and turned around and went downstairs with Matthew.

After leaving the hotel in the car Matthew had prepared in advance, follow East Houston Street to merge into Park Avenue, then head south, cross the Manhattan Bridge and enter Long Island.

As the destination gets closer, the traffic around it also thins out. After the car turned the corner, another car that had been waiting here followed. The two cars came one after the other and came to the outside of a vast manor.

After looking through the car window at the manor shrouded in darkness, Guo Shouyun took out his mobile phone, found the number in the phone book, and pressed it.

After the bell rang a few times, it was quickly connected.

“Hey?”

“Mr. Morgan, I hope this call didn’t disturb your rest!”

“Is it bothering you, but to my surprise, Mr. Guo will call me at night.”

“And something more surprising to Mr. Morgan!”

“Oh? What?”

“I want to meet Mr. Morgan.”

“Okay, when?”

“Now!”

“What? Now?” Old Morgan was surprised, “Mr. Guo, do you know it’s nine o’clock in the evening? Besides, you’re not going back to San Francisco… Wait, are you in New York now?”

“Not only am I in New York. I’m outside Mr. Morgan’s right now!”

While speaking, Guo Shouyun waved to the window, and the bodyguard who was instructed walked to the gate of Morgan Manor and rang the doorbell.

“…I think Mr. Morgan will soon be asked by the housekeeper.”

“Dong dong…!”

Through his mobile phone, Guo Shouyun faintly heard a knock on the door over there.

“Mr. Guo really gave me a big surprise. But I’m more curious about the purpose of your late-night visit.”

“After we meet, Mr. Morgan will naturally understand.”

“That’s right!…Wait a minute, I’ll ask someone to open the door for you.”

“Okay, see you later!”

“See you soon!”

After hanging up, Guo Shouyun waited for about five minutes. The originally closed courtyard door slowly opened to both sides. Looking at the hardened road in front of the manor, without Guo Shouyun’s instructions, the bodyguards have already started the car and drove in along the way.

After the car went around a fountain square, it stopped in front of the main villa of the manor.

After Guo Shouyun got out of the car, an elderly Huafa man in a neat suit and meticulously dressed up greeted him with a smile.

This person, Guo Shouyun, had already met once when he visited Morgan Manor last time.

“Mr. Brown!” Guo Shouyun greeted.

Charles Brown, the old housekeeper of the Morgan family has been working here for nearly 40 years, taking care of the Morgan family for three generations. Respected within the Morgan family.

“Mr. Guo, the master is waiting for you in the reception room. May I come please.”

“thanks!”

Under the leadership of Butler Charles, Guo Shouyun came to the living room of the main building of the Morgan family. This is Guo Shouyun’s second visit.

“Please!”

After he opened the door, Guo Shouyun stepped in. At this time, Frederick Peabody Morgan, who was already neatly dressed, got up with a smile and greeted Mr. Morgan~www.readwn.com~ Mr. Morgan, it is an honor to have the opportunity to visit again. ”

“It is also my honor to receive such a distinguished guest as Mr. Guo! … Please take a seat!”

“thanks!”

After the two were seated, Charles Brown served them prepared tea.

“Mr. Morgan has a heart, thank you!” Guo Shouyun said, smelling the long-lost tea fragrance.

“Mr. Guo likes it!” After examining his expression, Old Morgan said straight to the point, “I don’t know the purpose of Mr. Guo’s visit late at night. Can you tell me now?”

Guo Shouyun nodded, stared at each other and said, “I want to acquire the 5.83% stake in Merrill Lynch held by the Morgan family fund.”

“Merrill Lynch’s equity?” Old Morgan thought, “Mr. Guo intends to buy Merrill Lynch?”

At this time, hiding is completely unnecessary.

“That’s right!”

“I remember last year, Harvey wanted to use this part of the equity in exchange for investment opportunities in Google and Ruby, but was rejected by Mr. Guo? Why is he taking the initiative to buy it now?”

Harvey Peabody Morgan, second son of Morgan Sr. He is also the core member of the Morgan family who has the closest relationship with Guo Shouyun.

“Because I wasn’t ready to buy Merrill at the time. Accepting this deal rashly would only make Stan O’Neal wary and completely lose the possibility of buying Merrill. So, even if I wanted to, I would only can refuse.”

“I see!” After a pause, “So, Mr. Guo is now ready to acquire Merrill Lynch?”

“Yes!”

“Can you tell me briefly?”

“I already own 46.7% of Merrill Lynch!” Guo Shouyun nodded and smiled.

Old Morgan’s pupils tightened instantly, this news is really amazing!
