Chapter 2555 Dispute

In April, New York was full of grass and birds, and the spring was bright and beautiful. In the market, the panic caused by Bear Stearns had subsided because of Paulson's quick response.

There were even some relevant data that made some experts who were unwilling to be lonely stand up and shout, "The crisis is over, and everything is getting better."

On the Hudson River, a yacht went upstream from New York and headed north to the source of the Hudson River.

Feng Yiping had already swam many times in this section of the lower reaches of the Hudson River into the sea, but this was his first time going upstream, so he was curious and had some expectations.

If the Mississippi River is the father river of the United States, then it is not an exaggeration to say that the Hudson River is the cradle of early American civilization and the mother river of the United States.

And New York can be said to be a pearl held up by the Hudson River.

Going back to the source in this way can also be regarded as a way to understand New York, the city that Americans are most proud of, from a longer time and space dimension and from an angle that has never been visited before.

Unlike the vastness of the downstream and the shock of the modern business districts on both sides of the river, the new green on both sides of the Hudson River Valley makes people feel more intimate and comfortable.

The river valleys on both sides also make people feel warm and down-to-earth.

But speaking of it, in many places upstream, the Hudson River is actually wider than many rivers Feng Yiping has seen.

Like most places in the world, this once golden waterway is no longer busy now, and the cargo ships that occasionally encounter are much more simple than its companions on the sea.

The New York Central Railway along the river is the current artery of the river valley.

In front of the Rockefeller Manor, the yacht slowed down. "Although the Rockefeller family donated this manor, their family members still retain the right to use most of the manor's facilities," said the bald middle-aged uncle in a shirt, who was Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd.

At this time, he squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, looking like a kind neighbor uncle.

"I never knew that the Rockefeller manor was here," Feng Yiping looked at the inconspicuous manor on the shore from a distance, with a little yearning, but he had no intention of going ashore to visit it.

The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Even if the Rockefeller family still has some strength and influence, the current era is no longer their era.

"The Republican Party once belonged to the Rockefeller family, and the Democratic Party belonged to the Morgan family. Where is the Morgan family's manor?" he asked.

"After the trend of Henry Morgan, the fourth generation of the Morgan family, many villas and manors of the Morgan family in the United States have been sold," said Lloyd.

"To say that the Rockefeller family can maintain the status quo is due to their scientific trust plan,"

That is, in general, in the United States, the Morgan family has declined more than the Rockefeller family.

In fact, in the same period of history, Morgan's wealth was not on the same order of magnitude as Rockefeller. Although old Morgan was a successful financier, the wealth he left behind was only 80 million US dollars, while Rockefeller's was as high as 900 million US dollars.

"The current **** can be said to be a cooperation between Morgan and Rockefeller," said Lloyd.

He said this because the current JPMorgan Chase Bank was acquired by J.P. Morgan.

The Rockefeller family was once a shareholder of Chase, and from the 1960s to the 1980s, David Rockefeller of the Rockefeller family served as the chairman of Chase Bank.

Although they only have less than 1% of Chase Bank's shares, many Americans still habitually regard Chase Bank as the Rockefeller family's bank.

In fact, the people of their two families have nothing to do with JPMorgan Chase.

At this point, Lloyd glanced at Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping understood that he mentioned **** at this time, naturally referring to something.

Because of the agreement reached between JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon and them.

"I want to know, are there any banks on Wall Street that are controlled by them behind the scenes?" Feng Yiping asked with a smile.

You know, in China, there are many versions of rumors about these two families, as well as a Rothschild family, calling the shots behind the scenes.

In response to Feng Yiping's somewhat curious question, Lourdes answered somewhat reluctantly, "As far as I know, no one from their two families is currently engaged in the real financial industry."

Is this what I want to talk to you about?

Yes, according to the accounting system of Europe and the United States, and their strict supervision of capital transactions, it is impossible to be an unknown manipulator behind the scenes, because there is no such soil.

If it is true that the Rothschild family has 50 trillion US dollars in assets as described in the book "Currency War" published in China last year, Feng Yiping thought that the group of people who are about to take over the family will probably be worried to death. God, when that day comes, where can I get tens of trillions of dollars to pay the inheritance tax?

If half of the current Fortune 500 companies are sold, it is estimated that their total market value can barely pay the inheritance tax.

"The wind and rain always blow away the wind and rain," Feng Yiping said, "I think we can now say that Goldman Sachs is the Goldman Sachs of the White House,"

Lourdes was stunned. Why did this sentence suddenly come out?

"No, Feng, we and the White House, no, even if Paulson is now the Secretary of the Treasury, this does not bring any benefits to Goldman Sachs,"

"On the contrary, because of this reason, Goldman Sachs may still be treated unfairly," he said. "You know the so-called politicians," he said.

"Come on, Lord," Feng Yiping left the side of the ship and sat down on the sofa under the warm spring sun. "I'm not those guys on Capitol Hill. I have the power to form a special investigation committee."

"So what are you trying to argue with me?"

"Did you know that in China, we have a saying about this kind of behavior: There is no three hundred taels of silver here,"

"China always has a lot of philosophical stories like this," Lauder said. "But you know, because of the relationship between Paulson and Goldman Sachs, I really hope that I am leading Morgan Stanley now,"

Feng Yiping didn't bother to pay attention to him again.

He would never believe that Paulson would not consider Goldman Sachs in the subsequent rescue operations. Even if it happened by the way, he would definitely consider Goldman Sachs.

"I don't think anyone on Wall Street is more confident than Goldman Sachs at this time," he said.

"No, Feng..." Lauder was about to explain, but Feng Yiping interrupted him, "Otherwise, at this time, Goldman Sachs would not have spent so much cash recently to acquire the loans that banks gave to Blackstone last year. ,"

Looking at Feng Yiping, who was still smiling, his face suddenly turned serious. Laald was a little irritated. Is this person a dog-faced person?

Otherwise, why would his face change so quickly?

"Feng, you heard that I said..."

Feng Yiping interrupted him again. He still said with a cold face, "Is Goldman Sachs doing some work for us in advance?"

"I really want to know why Goldman Sachs did this,"

"Lalder, do you remember that you took the initiative to sell Hilton to me by taking this opportunity now?"

Lauder continued to laugh awkwardly, "Feng..."

Feng Yiping continued to interrupt him, "I thought that when I agreed to your proposal, we should be partners."

"I really didn't expect that you would get ahead of us, or compete with us to acquire those loans,"

"Did you know that after knowing your actions, Damo was not idle, they also took action,"

These words actually made Lauder a little secretly happy. It would be great if Xia Jincheng of Damo followed his example!

At least, I'm not the only one wasting my efforts in vain.

When miscalculations like this happen, it's great to have a fellow sufferer by your side.

Because Lauder is convinced that Morgan Stanley's acquisition price should be similar to his, that is, the minimum will be about 55%.

Feng Yiping and the others have not only reached a deal with Morgan Stanley at a 58% discount, but they are also about to sign a contract with Lehman Brothers at this ratio.

That is, Xia Jinheng, the guy who thinks he has a trick, may have discovered it by now, but it was just a waste of time.

The look on Lord's face made Feng Yiping quite unhappy. He stood up and said, "I thought that some things had been made very clear when we were in Palm Beach. I didn't expect that Goldman Sachs would still attack from behind like this this time." ,"

"Could it be that this is the way Wall Street always behaves?"

Laalder's face looked a little confused at this time. He shook the beer bottle in his hand hard, and finally threw it hard overboard...

ps: I wish you all a happy National Day holiday! By the way, hey, please give me a ticket.
