Manhattan Reborn 1978

In a French restaurant.

Forrest Gump and Jenny were ready to say goodbye to everyone and go back first.

David, Giles, and Bloomer pulled Forrest aside and told him that he must be optimistic about Jenny. .

If she gets lost again, there will be nowhere to look for her. .

A-Gump nodded slowly: "Jenny has promised me that we will return to Greenbow Town, Alabama in a few days. After the child is born and grows up a little, we will take the child to New York."

David would certainly be happy to see this.

As Jenny herself said, she and Forrest Gump had two completely different lives.

Forrest Gump's thoughts and ideas are very simple, and it is very easy to meet his material and spiritual needs.

As for Jenny, she has experienced a lot now, is pregnant, and wants to settle down.

David specially arranged for Jenny to have dinner with Principal Guy Luther, Giles, Bloomer, and Xena tonight, just to tell Jenny in this way.

After he gave birth to A-Gump's child and felt that he could no longer stay in Green Bow Town, he could come to New York and come to them instead of running around and let A-Gump take care of the child at home. .

David felt that it was really possible for Jenny to do this kind of thing. .

After she settled down with Forrest Gump, her peaceful life was quiet and plain, without too many accidents and twists and turns, and even less excitement and surprises. Jenny, will she suddenly feel bored one day? . .

David doesn't know.

He could only help A-Gump to leave a way out in advance.

----

Everyone walked out of the French restaurant.

David arranged for Barlow to help drive and take Forrest Gump and Jenny back to the hotel, and secretly told Barlow to help him get back the ring that he lent to Forrest Gump. .

Elena, who did not go with them, was pulled by Zina, and the two took a taxi back to Zina's house.

David didn't know what Zina said to Elena.

Elena has promised to stay with Zina first and help her handle the initial affairs of the agency.

As for Elena's follow-up work arrangements, David felt that he needed to talk to Mr. Odis Parker.

A-Gump and Jenny, Zina and Elena were sent away.

Nash and Alicia also accompanied David to say goodbye and drove away in their car.

David glanced at Yuri, who was chatting hotly with Ava Fangtian, and smiled at Giovanni.

Giovanni pinched his nose funny, walked up to Yuri, and spoke to him softly.

Yuri looked back at David, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, nodded, took Ava, got into the car driven by Giovanni, and left.

Everyone who should go is gone.

The remaining David, Giles, and Bloomer all looked at each other, laughed, got in the car, and drove towards the Blue Crystal Hotel.

----

After returning to the blue crystal.

Seeing that neither Giles nor Blumer were sleepy, David asked the three bodyguards to go back first.

He made some cocktails, and the three of them lay back on the sofa. Bloomer told the two of them what he had experienced these days back in California.

To sum it up in Blumer’s words, it’s two words: boring.

Boring social activities, boring parties, boring people always try their best to get together and talk about boring things.

In this way, Blumer told about his boring life with a look of helplessness.

David and Giles listened with laughter and laughed at him from time to time. .

The Wharton family, Bloomer's father, Wharton Sr., single-handedly controls the family power.

Although in recent years, he has slowly handed over his business, rights, and connections to his eldest son.

But in Bloomer's view, Old Wharton, a somewhat dissatisfied old man, does not feel that he has to abdicate immediately. .

Bloomer complained about his own experience, complained about his father, brother and sister.

Then it was Giles' turn to complain. .

David has said too much tonight.

He drank the special cocktail quietly, and with a lazy look, he criticized and criticized the two of them for being ignorant of their blessings. .

Drink, complain, criticize, interact, play, sigh.

The three of them talked like this until late into the night.

Bloomer got drunk directly on the sofa, and Giles wandered around and took a bath before going back to sleep.

David could only carry Bloomer back to the room by himself, and then asked the waiter on duty to help settle Bloomer.

After doing this, he yawned, found a room for himself, took off his clothes directly, got into the bed and fell asleep.

----

the next day.

In the sky, a thick layer of black clouds seemed to darken the entire world.

Gusts of wind brought big raindrops, and the sound of hitting the glass woke David up.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at the window without curtains. From the direction of the sound, heavy rain was falling outside. .

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock!

I didn’t expect that I would fall asleep at this time~

David felt a little sore in his body, his mouth was dry, and his mind was still a little confused.

He calmed down for a while, got up, picked up his clothes, walked out of the bedroom, went to the bathroom and took a hot bath. He looked at himself in the mirror with some dark circles under his eyes. .

After getting everything done, I felt a little more comfortable.

David walked around the room, took his coat, and prepared to see how the two guys were doing.

He opened the door and walked out of the room. Not far away in the corridor, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair reading a newspaper.

There is a small table next to him, with a cup of coffee and a plate of small desserts on it. .

Seeing David come out, the man stood there blankly looking at him. He put away the newspaper with a smile, quickly adjusted his clothes, strode up to David, stretched out his hand and said.

"Hello Mr. Coleman, my name is Nelent Ramon, nice to meet you!"

"Um...Hello, I'm David Coleman~"

Seeing that David still didn't understand the situation, Ramon smiled and took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to David.

"The ring you lent to Forrest Gump was delivered to me in the morning by a man named Mike Bai."

"Okay~Thank you!"

David took the ring and looked at it. It was indeed his charm +2 ring, so he put it back on his finger and asked curiously.

"Mr. Ramon, are you here just for this ring?"

"Haha~ Of course not!"

"Old Mr. Morgan is already waiting for you ~ I'm here, I just want you to know the news as soon as possible."

"Old Mr. Morgan? Giles' father?"

"Yes."

amount. .

David was obviously ill-prepared for this sudden attack on old Morgan. .

"You should call me David, don't be so polite."

"Okay David, if it's convenient for you now, can we leave now?"

"Uh... ok!"

Nelent Ramon turned around with a smile, made an invitation gesture to David, and took the lead in walking towards Giles' room.

David glanced down at his coat and chose to put it on. As he walked, he arranged his clothes and his mind began to race.

Giles' room.

Nelent Ramon opened the door, stepped aside, watched David walk in, nodded to David and Old Morgan, and closed the door.

On the sofa in the living room, where David was lying on his back last night, old Morgan slowly took off his glasses, put down the newspaper, stood up with a smile, and waved to David.

"Come on~ let's talk~"

"Good~"

David shook his shoulders and responded with a smile.

He strode to Old Morgan and after watching Old Morgan sit down, he also sat down.

Old Morgan pointed to the small desserts on the table with a smile: "I know you like to eat these, and you slept very late last night. You can eat some first, and we can talk slowly."

David looked at the small desserts and four large glasses of juice in front of him and tilted his head slightly: "Okay!"

With that said, he picked up a glass of juice, drank it, and wolfed down a few small desserts.

Old Morgan was sitting very relaxed, and couldn't help but feel even more happy when he saw David eating.

He put on his glasses, picked up a notebook from the sofa next to him, and read it silently.

After a few minutes.

David stopped eating, drank another glass of juice, burped with satisfaction, and wiped his mouth.

He leaned back and found a comfortable position for himself. His tongue was cleaning the residue from the tips of his teeth in his mouth, and his mind was still racing.

Old Morgan did not speak, still looking at the notebook in his hand.

The two of them just sat quietly.

Time passed slowly.

There was a sudden sound in the corridor.

Because of the door, David couldn't hear clearly what the people outside were saying.

"Clang~clang~clang~"

There was a knock on the door.

Old Morgan glanced at David and put the notebook on his lap: "Come in!"

The door was opened and several people walked in.

It was Panaris, Elder, Giles, and. .Lilith?

When David saw the few people walking in, his face was very calm. He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and nodded to them.

Everyone saw David, nodded slightly to him, closed the door, and stood in a row, silent and no one spoke.

Old Morgan looked at the children standing at the door and sighed softly.

He stood up, walked to David, faced him and said, "I watched your video tape on Wall Street."

"David, I want to say sorry to you!"

"For...my children!"

David looked at Old Morgan's sincere eyes, pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to apologize."

He turned to look at Lilith, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Come on!"

Lilith saw David's eyes, hesitated slightly, walked to his side, grabbed his hand, and stood closely with David.

David smiled and whispered to her: "How did you... come back in time? It's still raining heavily outside!"

Lilith looked up at Old Morgan and shook her head slightly: "I just got off the plane too..."

David grabbed her hand tightly, as if he wanted to give her strength.

"Sir, if you agree, I would like to get engaged to Lilith after Christmas!"

"Ok?"

Old Morgan looked at David in great surprise, and then at Lilith, who was hiding next to David like a little girl, with a smile on her lips.

"No, David~ you have to ask Laura about this!"

"...what?"

This time it was David's turn to look surprised.

He looked back at Panaris, Elder, and Giles, and then at Lilith. He simply stretched out his arm, put his arm around her shoulders, and patted her arm gently.

"I don't quite understand...what you mean!"

Old Morgan nodded, smiled and said to Panaris and the others: "Go on, go to work where you should go, work where you should work."

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tonight!"

"Okay dad~"

"Good sir!"

Panaris, Giles, and Elder responded, glanced at David and Lilith, lowered their heads and walked out of the room.

Old Morgan turned around and sat back in his old seat, waved his hand to Lilith and said, "You go too, I'll talk to David!"

"I.."

Lilith plucked up the courage and wanted to say something else.

David used one arm to hold her whole body in his arms, and said in her ear: "Go! Don't worry!"

Lilith slowly raised her hands, hugged David hard, and said softly "Yeah".

David let go of Lilith, kissed her on the ear, brushed the hair around her ear, picked her up almost completely, and sent her out of the room.

Outside the door, Nelent Ramon saw a strange look in his eyes when he saw David holding Lilith in his arms and sending her out.

He nodded slightly to David and told David with his eyes that he would take good care of Lilith.

David nodded vigorously to him and closed the door to the room again.

He walked back to the sofa and sat down, looked at Old Morgan, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

Old Morgan patted the newspaper and said with a smile: "It's been a long wait~ I'll be sitting here waiting for you at a quarter past eight!"

"Forehead.."

David couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his nose.

"I didn't expect... that you would come so soon."

"Oh? Didn't we already talk on the phone last time you were at home?"

"That...yes!"

Old Morgan lowered his head slightly, then simply sorted out his notebooks and newspapers and put them away, saying with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Giles always said that David was very candid."

"Then...let's not beat around the bush anymore! Let's be direct, okay?"

"Okay~" David nodded simply, agreeing.

"Then... let's talk about the videotape first."

"Are you really... in love with Lilith?"

"No, it's Laura and Lilith who are in love! I like Laura and I also like Lilith, but... that's not love!"

"Oh? Then your lover...is Susan?"

"Forehead.."

David leaned back again and thought about it seriously.

"I don't know, the relationship between the two of us should be considered love~"

"The two of us are very compatible together. It feels very comfortable!"

Old Morgan blinked, leaned forward slightly and said, "Will you get married?"

"I don't know~ I haven't thought about this problem yet..."

"Um.."

Old Morgan nodded.

He thought for a moment and continued: "What you just said about getting engaged with Lilith, if there is no problem with Susan, I agree."

"Ok?"

David didn't understand what old Morgan meant when he talked about this now. .

Is it?

Seeing his inquiring eyes, Old Morgan shook his head and said, "Why do you think I sent Laura and Lilith to New York?"

"You... are not...?"

"of course not!"

"They are all my children~"

Old Morgan took a few deep breaths and continued: "When I first knew that there was a problem in their relationship, I was also very entangled..."

"Originally, they should be relatives..."

David was happy, and he added: "Now we are lovers, which is not bad~"

"Forehead.."

Old Morgan was a little choked with words, he shook his head again and said: "You and Lilith are engaged, Laura can also participate!"

"You...you mean...?"

"Yes~"

"I can't possibly hold a real wedding for them... Do you... understand?"

David suddenly felt his neck was a little stiff and nodded: "Understood~!"

There was a look of sadness on Old Morgan's face: "Tell Laura and Lilith for me that their mother and I love them very much!"

"I will!"

"As for Susan, I will talk to her personally about this matter..."

"Forehead.."

David started scratching his head, hesitated, then shook his head and said, "You'd better not go, I'll tell her!"

"Are you going to tell me?"

"Hmm~"

"Okay then~" Old Morgan smiled, he narrowed his eyes and looked at David again.

"I guessed that you would get closer to Lilith, but... I didn't expect that you would stage a flash mob on Wall Street..."

"Haha~" David had a naive smile on his face.

"I came up with all these ideas at once. In the end... I still have to trouble you to finish it off..."

"Haha~ It's good that you know! From now on, we should keep a lower profile on things like this!"

"okok~ Not next time!"

"You...do you want a next time?"

"Yeah~ I've already promised Bloomer that I'm going to Los Angeles to do a flash mob operation too!"

"Uh...haha~"

Old Morgan laughed loudly. He pointed at David and said in a scolding tone to the younger generation: "You guys, don't go and cause trouble to Old Wharton~"

"He's in Los Angeles~"

"Aren't you afraid that the old man will be petty and take your revenge?"

David showed his big white teeth and smiled: "I'm not afraid of him hitting me...it's Bloomer who should be hit~"

"Hahaha~"

"Good~ Good~"

"You guys.."

Old Morgan smiled happily, and David somewhat understood why he smiled so happily. .

Add to the chaos~

Look at things, don’t be afraid of big things~

Flash mob action on Wall Street.

It's far from as simple as people see.

It would be difficult for David's operation and finishing work to end so smoothly without old Morgan personally coming out to say hello. .

Morgan used to be awesome!

But now Wall Street is no longer dominated by Morgan.

Old Morgan laughed for a while. .

He looked at David, thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you the story of our family..."

"Well...it's not really a story, it should be history...that's right!"

"Good~"

David knew that Old Morgan came to see him today not just to talk about Laura and tell stories.

Before getting to the point, there is always some foreshadowing.

Old Morgan reached out and touched the notebook and patted it: "Do you know what's in it?"

David shook his head cooperatively.

"These are all heirlooms left to us by the elders of our family."

Old Morgan's eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, and he said in a low voice: "In the early 17th century, in 1606, our family's ancestors came to this American continent and settled in Massachusetts."

"They carved out a large piece of land here and ran a farm."

"For more than 100 years after that, they all worked steadily and diligently on the farm, until the generation of one of my ancestors, Joseph Morgan."

"Joseph made a decision that changed the fate of the entire family."

"He sold his farm in Massachusetts, took part of his family and moved to Hartford County, England."

"After settling down his family, Joseph opened a small cafe and ran it for a few years. After saving a little, he first funded and operated a very grand hotel. A few years later, he bought shares in the canal and became a steamboat operator. and railroad shareholders.”

“Our family’s business capital has only gradually grown bigger and stronger since Joseph’s generation.”

"Joseph was a great speculator and risk-taker."

"He chose to invest in the insurance industry with great foresight."

"Later, some people called Hartford the birthplace of the American insurance industry."

"But in Hartford at that time, there were only a handful of insurance companies."

"Joseph invested in an insurance company that covered property damage from fires in 1835."

"As a result, a fire fell from the sky, destroying Joseph's investment."

"According to common sense, when ordinary people encounter such unfortunate events, they will definitely invest in insurance and never touch it again."

"In fact, that's true."

"Many investors, after being burned by this fire, have obediently put away the idea of ​​investing and never look at the insurance companies that provide fire insurance."

"But Joseph's ideas are completely different from these people!"

"He believes that due to the impact of this fire, those policyholders have tasted the sweetness. If they continue to operate, not only will the enthusiasm of policyholders continue to increase, but also the deterrent effect of this fire can be used to increase the number of policyholders. price."

"If you look at it from another perspective, also due to the impact of this fire, the number of companies that continue to operate property insurance for fires will decrease sharply."

“By investing in the insurance industry at this time, not only can you make a comeback and recover lost losses, but you may also be able to make a fortune!”

Old Morgan stroked the notebook with a somewhat wandering look, paused, and then continued.

"The situation was just as he expected. When those former investors saw that the insurance company had to pay large premiums, they all chose to transfer their shares at a low price."

"Joseph, who knew what was going on, tried his best to raise a sum of money, took the shares, and chose to continue running the unlucky Itna Fire Insurance Company."

"After a while, thanks to the help of friends, Joseph and Etna Fire Insurance Company passed the reimbursement crisis."

"Etna Company also gained a lot of credibility due to this insurance payment. It spread among many policyholders, and the insurance premium more than doubled from the original."

"Joseph made a lot of money from his investment in the insurance company because of his accurate judgment!"

"In April 1837, John Pierpont Morgan was born in Telford City, Connecticut, USA."

"John Pierpont Morgan was what people later called JP Morgan!"

"Joseph moved some of his family back to England, leaving J.P. Morgan's father, Junius Spencer Morgan, in the United States."

"When Junius first started, he relied on part of the funds provided by his father Joseph to start a wholesale dry vegetable business."

"Slowly, he accumulated some savings and made many friends, so he established a company in London with a banker friend, George Peabody, specializing in U.S. Treasury bonds, state bonds, stocks, and foreign exchange businesses. .”

"The business of this Peabody company is very prosperous. They have successfully introduced a large amount of hot money from the financial markets of European countries into the United States, which is extremely short of funds, making its future development extremely smooth."

"And Junius has very strict requirements for his son JP Morgan. He wants JP to take over the family business and sends him to study in Switzerland and Germany. After completing his studies, he arranges for him to be an apprentice on Wall Street."

"After JP Morgan graduated from college, he came to work as an apprentice at Duncan & Co. on Wall Street. This firm was a business owned by Junius's friend."

"JP Morgan has been very smart since he was a child, and has a keen insight into the business field that exceeds ordinary people."

"On a purchasing trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, in the southern United States, he accidentally met a Brazilian captain who was selling coffee beans to people. From the captain's mouth, he learned that this ship had transported a whole shipload of coffee from Brazil. But when the ship arrived in New Orleans, it was discovered that the merchant who originally ordered the coffee beans had gone bankrupt.”

"After JP Morgan listened to what the Brazilian captain had to say, he felt that the business was very good, so he took samples of coffee beans and went to all the customers in New Orleans who had connections with Duncan Trading Company to sell them."

"As a result, these people persuaded J.P. Morgan that these captains would always use lies that sounded like real events to do fraudulent things."

"But JP Morgan believes in his own judgment. He believes that the captain is a person who can be trusted."

"So, he decided to buy a whole ship of coffee beans in the name of Duncan Trading Company, and contacted the New York headquarters to inform him that he had purchased a ship of cheap coffee beans."

"But someone from Duncan's Company called him back and accused him: Don't use the company's name without authorization! Cancel the transaction immediately."

"In desperation, JP Morgan had no choice but to contact his father Junius in London and ask for help."

"After listening to J.P. Morgan's judgment, Junius decided to use his account in London to repay the money that J.P. Morgan originally misappropriated from Duncan & Co."

"After JP Morgan got help from his father, he followed the Brazilian captain and went to the ship to look at the coffee beans."

"It turned out, as he had judged, that the cabin was full of good coffee beans!"

"He later bought some cheap coffee beans from other ships under the introduction of the captain."

"When he moved the coffee beans to the shore, stored them, and wanted to contact customers, the news that the coffee planting industry in Brazil had suffered a significant reduction in production due to the impact of the cold wave reached the United States."

"This news caused the price of coffee beans in the international market to skyrocket nearly three times in a short period of time!"

"JP Morgan, because of these coffee beans, made the first pot of gold in his life!"

"After this incident, JP Morgan's father, Junius, gave his son more funding, allowing JP Morgan to establish a Morgan firm opposite the New York Stock Exchange."

"This Morgan firm is the original business cornerstone of our Morgan family in the United States and on Wall Street in New York!"

"Speaking of which, I have to mention one person, George Peabody!"

"He is J.P. Morgan's father, Junius's boss."

"I just said that Junius opened a company in London with his friend George Peabody to do some financial business."

"This statement is not entirely correct."

"Panaris, Giles, Elder, Pine, none of them know the details of this matter."

"This true history has been buried by time..."

Old Morgan reached out to pick up the coffee cup, took a sip, and continued slowly: "Rather than doing business as a partnership or opening a company, it's better to say that Junius has always worked for George Peabody!"

"George Peabody was born in Massachusetts, and he had known Junius for many years."

"Peabody's family was very poor during his childhood and youth."

"Poverty shaped his destiny throughout his life."

"When he chose to open a company in London in 1937, Junius's father Joseph gave him some help. Later, Peabody invited Junius to come to London from the United States to help him manage and operate the leather company. Bodie Company.”

"The middle-aged Peabody is a very good businessman."

"Someone once commented on him this way: Mr. Peabody is plain in appearance, very talkative, and a workaholic who works hard; he is stingy, stingy, and has never been generous to himself; he is self-admiring, jealous, sensitive, and patriotic; he often thinks that he is Proud to be an American! Wait..."

"Peabody's stinginess is well known..."

"Once, he was sick and stood on the street wanting to take a public carriage home. However, he waited for more than half an hour and passed several carriages with a 2p fare, but he did not take a seat."

"Finally, he was asked to wait for a public carriage with a fare of 1 penny before he chose to get on it. At this time, Peabody already had 100 million pounds in his bank account."

Old Morgan said, took another sip of coffee and sighed.

"Peabody opened this company in London to serve governments, large companies and wealthy people."

"With his excellent eloquence and social skills, George Peabody slowly entered the upper class circles and issued bonds and stocks for them. It was impossible for ordinary people to deal with Peabody."

"When J.P. Morgan was in college, Peabody was already old, and Junius was in charge of the company's affairs."

"Peabody suffered from severe rheumatism. One day when he was in pain, he suddenly realized that he had no heirs, had huge wealth and savings, but had been living a stingy life... not yet People can inherit..."

"He realized he needed to change."

There was a smile on Old Morgan's lips: "How stingy Peabody was before, how generous Peabody will be when he gets older!"

"He transformed from a Grandet to a Santa Claus!"

"In his later years, Peabody handed over all the company's affairs and connections to Junius and asked him to help manage it."

"Like Santa Claus himself, he donated a history museum to Yale University; donated an archeology museum to Harvard University; established an educational foundation for the emancipated black people of the American South; and funded a school in Baltimore. Peabody College.”

"Later, he transferred another £15 to a trust fund for the construction of slum housing projects in London, and also transferred a large share of his shares in another company to maintain the normal operation of this residential area."

"Victor Hugo once wrote for George Peabody: In this world, there are people full of hate and people full of love. George Peabody belongs to the latter. It is the face of this kind of person , we see the smile of God.”

"George Peabody, in his old age, received the highest praise people can give him!"

"Junius was the one who helped his son JP Morgan open the Morgan firm on Wall Street when Peabody transformed into Santa Claus."

"Nominally speaking, the Morgan Bank on Wall Street should be regarded as a branch of Peabody Company in the financial district on Wall Street."

"Later, two years after the founding of Morgan & Co. on Wall Street."

"Peabody decided to retire and completely handed over the business he had run his entire life to Junius, who was younger than him."

"Peabody & Co., London, officially changed its name to Junius Morgan & Co."

"J.P. Morgan, the head of Morgan Company on Wall Street, also found a partner in the same year and changed the company's name to Dabney Morgan & Company, completely getting rid of the name of the American branch of Peabody. "

Old Morgan looked at David, nodded slightly and signaled to him.

"At this point, the Morgan family in London was founded by Junius!"

"The Morgan family in the United States, led by J.P. Morgan, created a great business."

"When JP Morgan was growing up in the United States, his father, Junius, used the huge wealth left by Peabody to give his son a lot of help."

"It can be said that without Joseph Morgan's move; without George Peabody's generous gift of wealth; without Junius's painstaking management; without J.P. Morgan's expansion of territory in the United States, our Morgan family would be You can’t achieve the wealth you have today.”

"David, I'm telling you this because during a phone call, Giles and Pine both said that you would be another George Peabody that our family has met!"

David was speechless. He hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I may not be as good as Peabody..."

"Haha~ Are you talking about his stinginess? Or generosity?"

"Haha~ It can't even compare!"

Old Morgan shook his head and said with a smile: "You should also know some of our family's business stories behind JP Morgan, so I won't go into details here."

"The entire Morgan family, after Junius and JP Morgan achieved great success in London and the United States respectively, they were divided into two branches within the family."

"I am the leader of the Morgan family in the United States."

"In London, there are still some members of the Morgan family who inherited Junius's business and established Morgan Grenfell Bank."

"When JP Morgan was still alive, Morgan Grenfell Bank in London was still a branch of JP Morgan."

"Now... we have completely become a family in name only..."

"J.P. Morgan's successors were his sons, John Pierpont Morgan Jr. and Henry Keith Morgan."

"John Pierpont Morgan Jr., also known as JP Morgan II, took over and took charge of the Morgan Company, with his younger brother Henry assisting him."

"In 1933, the U.S. government stepped in to break up Morgan & Co."

"In 1935, J.P. Morgan II took charge of the spun-off Morgan Bank and continued to engage in bank deposits, loans, and trust businesses."

"Henry Keith Morgan, together with his brother J.P. Morgan II's son Harry, and Harold Stanley, ran a separate, fully independent investment bank, Morgan Stanley."

"The Henry Keith Morgan I'm talking about is my grandfather!"

"And now the most powerful person in charge of Morgan Bank is the descendant of JP II, and my family brother is in charge."

When Old Morgan said this, the expression on his face began to become more serious.

"There are already a lot of people belonging to the Morgan family~"

"Time has brought us more family members and relatives in the Morgan family, and it has also brought more internal friction caused by interests."

"The shares I control are majority in Stanley and only a small part in Morgan Bank."

"There are also many shares, claims, claims, funds, and investments of various American companies, all of which are managed by trust funds under the name of Morgan Bank."

"It bears the share dividends and daily expenses of all Morgan family members."

"David, I am old and not in good health~"

"My children, you are almost the same, you know them all!"

"I... haven't seen anyone in them who can take over this right and responsibility... I hope~"

David was silent.

Old Morgan said this because he had no intention of handing over his rights to anyone among Panaris, Giles, Elder, and Pine.

Perhaps, in the future, Morgan Bank and Morgan Stanley will also be run by professional managers. .

"Then...what can I do to help you?"

Old Morgan smiled and shook his head: "David, the family history I mentioned is just to tell you that our family is not as glamorous as outsiders see~"

"Our family is like this, the Rockefeller family, the DuPont family, the Carnegie family, etc. are all like this."

"As long as it is a family business inheritance, it cannot avoid the dilemma I am facing now!"

"With my abilities, all I can do is maintain the current situation and find more allies for my children and my family."

"David, will you be our ally?"

David was silent for a moment and nodded: "We are friends ~ allies!"

"it is good!"

Old Morgan smiled and pushed the notebook at hand to David: "Here are some warnings left by the family ancestors I just mentioned for us descendants."

"And this notebook, turned from back to front, has the signatures of all our allies on it."

"Mr. David Coleman, now you can leave your name on this!"

David looked at the notebook, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's still too early!"

He took a long breath: "Three years!"

"Within three years, if I can fulfill my promise and become a billionaire, I will write my name on it!"

"Good~!"

The wrinkles on old Morgan's face were squeezed deeper by the smile.

This David boy might actually bring it to him. .surprise!
