Chapter 1101

New York, the headquarters of westero company in midtown Manhattan.

Michael Jordan, chairman and CEO of Westinghouse Electric, was invited to arrive on time. He just waited a little in the reception room. Simon westero pushed the door in and quickly got up to greet each other: "Hi, Simon, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mike," Simon shook hands with a white executive with the same name as a legendary basketball star. They sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "I just heard that you are in New York, so I want to take the opportunity to talk."

Girl a brought coffee in. Michael Jordan waited for a moment. When Alison left, he asked, "Simon, what's the matter?"

Simon took a sip of the coffee Alison had just poured, leaned relaxed on the sofa and looked at the head of Westinghouse: "Mike, the unit of Ukraine's Rovno nuclear power plant will be put into operation in the middle of this year. At the beginning, vestro system helped to lead the line and cooperate with Xiwu. Everyone was very happy, wasn't it?"

Michael Jordan nodded in agreement: "of course."

Two years ago, the construction of unit 4 of the Rovno nuclear power plant in Ukraine, through the series connection of all parties, the cost of the project that could have been completed by US $500 million directly doubled to US $1 billion, of which the oil and water can be imagined. Under the lead of the westero system, Westinghouse Electric has won the share of US $600 million, which can be said to be the biggest beneficiary.

Michael Jordan is not a fool. He has heard a lot of things during this period, so he can guess the purpose of westero's invitation. It's just that Michael Jordan, who is the leader of an old industrial giant, is not willing to take the initiative in the end. It depends on what westero hopes to do and what he plans to do.

Simon was not in a hurry, and then said, "in addition, I also know that Westinghouse is in contact with the Chinese government on some power cooperation projects recently? Exactly? You know? I have a good relationship with the Chinese government. Maybe I can help?"

Michael Jordan smiles expectantly: "Simon, if that's possible? That's great."

"Well, actually, I also know that Westinghouse is planning to sell its power sector, including conventional power and nuclear power businesses. Now it is pursuing orders just to increase the bargaining chip when selling. Right?"

Michael Jordan couldn't take it easy this time. He was surprised.

After the acquisition of CBS? In order to further expand in the media field? Michael Jordan plans to transform Westinghouse thoroughly. Recently, he has had secret contact with Siemens in Germany and plans to sell its conventional power business. Westinghouse's leading nuclear power business will also be sold in the next few years.

There was no more than one person inside Westinghouse who knew about it? Michael Jordan never thought that Simon westrow knew about it.

Simon knows about it? It's mainly memories.

In the past history, Westinghouse's continuous sale of its core business in the late 1990s shocked the industry, so much so that Michael Jordan was satirized as a business spy planted in Westinghouse by Jack Welch, the head of General Electric. With the result known in advance, Simon can easily get more inside information by making a little inquiry according to the huge network of contacts mastered by westrow system at this time.

After a moment's hesitation, Michael Jordan finally stopped pretending to be a fool: "Simon, I'm sorry that I didn't know about some of CBS's criticisms of igritte a few days ago." After a pause, Jordan said, "well, Simon, I'll fire all the people responsible for the news arrangement. Do you think that's ok?"

"Good, Mike, I like smart people who don't need too much nonsense to understand each other," Simon nodded slightly, then changed the subject. "But it's just a small thing. I hope you can do me another favor."

"Say it, please?"

"Westinghouse ended all deposit and loan settlement business with Mellon financial group, and completely drew a clear line with it."

When Michael Jordan heard this, he was not only shocked, but even cool.

The headquarters of Westinghouse Electric and Mellon finance are both in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Mellon family and Westinghouse Electric have a long history of 100 years. In the Great Depression era, if not for the help of the Mellon family, Westinghouse Electric might not survive until now.

Let's not talk about these.

Simon westero mentions this at this time, which makes Michael Jordan feel that this young tycoon is planning to fight against the Mellon family. Moreover, he can be said to hit the snake seven inches accurately!

Many industries involved by the Mellon family at this time, such as Alcoa, Chevron, Warner Lambert and so on, are only limited to a single field. In addition, there are not many shares and their influence is limited. However, Mellon financial group's influence covers the whole of Pennsylvania and other surrounding areas. Once they lose control of Mellon's finance, the Mellon family's influence in the Federation will not be directly reduced by half.

In other words, Simon's intention to do so is the same idea that came into being when he returned from China a few days ago to read the information of the South Korean government on the bankruptcy of Hanbao steel.

Industry is the organ and finance is the blood.Simon intends to abolish the "blood" of the Mellon family that can influence and control the regional economy around Pennsylvania. At this time, Michael Jordan was shocked and speechless for a moment, so he continued: "Mike, this is nothing to Westinghouse. As long as you promise, I can immediately arrange a replacement bank to take over the business of Westinghouse, and there will be a good discount. This is one of them. In addition, I also know that Westinghouse's acquisition of CBS is just the beginning. In the next few years, you plan to completely transform Westinghouse into the media field. This is a good idea. It's depressing that Disney, paramount and Columbia are occupied by foreigners. If Westinghouse can take over in the future, it will be a good result. As long as you agree, I can promise to help Westinghouse integrate in the media field in the next few years. You know, it's hard to grow just TV or movies. The future of Hollywood is the world of diversified media giants. "

Michael Jordan was shocked by the young people in front of him again. He forced himself to calm down his guilty heart and looked at the young people opposite him: "Simon, the westrow system and the Mellon family should have no intersection. I don't understand why you do this?"

"If you want an answer," Simon shrugged, "it's personal."

Simon has never been a person who likes to haggle over everything. Even when he is a man of two generations, there are few things in the world that can make him a little angry.

It's just that this is never a world where you can be generous in exchange for others' generosity.

Since the Mellon family has provoked themselves, they must step back.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

At the end of the day, it's a fight for control of the country.

Through tangled interests, the United States has been controlled by all kinds of old money families for a hundred years. Simon, a new generation of money who has risen rapidly in recent ten years, wants to gain control of the country that matches his own wealth, so he can only defeat the old money families who currently hold these powers.

There are only so many powers in this country. It is impossible to achieve a win-win situation, and it is doomed to grow and decline.

So it's a zero sum game.

Moreover, in order to ensure the development of the whole westero system and the security of his own wealth, Simon has to do the same. Otherwise, let the old capital continue to control the power of the country. The bigger the westero system is, the more it will become a fat sheep in the eyes of the power people.

Michael Jordan is also aware of Richard Mellon Schiff's private series of attempts to short tech stocks against the westrow system. He has no way to know the deeper inside story.

Simon now a personal grudge, but also completely unable to let him solve his doubts.

However, since Michael Jordan is sitting in this office at this time, he knows that he has almost no article content, which details the inside story of Richard Mellon Schiff and other members of the Mellon family who obtained nearly 600 million US dollars of loans through illegal means with the senior management of Mellon financial group in the past few months to speculate in the technology stock market.

It took less than a week for the Mellon family to apply for the loan, and the review process was seriously violated.

The value of the stock and other collateral provided by the Mellon family members is obviously overvalued, and they are suspected of loan mortgage fraud.

The purpose of applying for loans by the Mellon family is industrial investment, but in fact it is used for stock futures speculation. The ultimate loss is nearly 90%, which brings huge risks to investors and is suspected of misappropriating funds.

The senior management of Mellon Financial Group actively cooperated with the above violations, and there were also major financial crimes.

Therefore, the Federal Reserve and the office of the Comptroller of the currency will set up a joint investigation team to investigate the crimes committed by the Mellon family and the Mellon group.

Michael Jordan stood by the fax machine in his pajamas and read this news release. Somehow, the first thing he thought of was Simon westrow's series of operations during the 87 stock market crash. According to the later disclosure, Simon westero obtained a large amount of cash by mortgaging the proceeds of "Lola Run" before the stock market crash to short the stock market, which also involves serious violations.

However, the result of that time was Simon westero's complete victory.

That's the world. Winners are not to blame.

This time, the Mellon family did not have such good luck.

In fact, if the Mellon family doesn't attract opponents like Simon westero, it's not a big deal, although the technology stock speculation in the past few months has cost the Mellon family a lot of money.

A lot of things are just afraid that someone will take it seriously.

What's more, it's not just the westero system, but also the White House. After all, the president is still caught in all kinds of scandals involving Richard Mellon skeiff's money digging.

Without Simon westero as a supporter, even if he knew about it, the White House would have to swallow it. After all, the "housekeeper" could not fight the "big boss" behind the scenes.

Now there is another big boss who is more rich and powerful. Of course, there will be no problem.With this article in the New York Times and the subsequent reports from the Internet, television and other media, February 26 is a disaster for the Mellon family, which has been handed down for two centuries.

At the beginning of the morning, the stock price of Mellon financial Co. collapsed directly, with a drop of 11% in just five minutes. Along with that, the shares of Alcoa, Chevron and other companies related to the Mellon family also fell sharply, because the mortgage of the Mellon family's loan funds was these shares.

After the disclosure of the incident, the Mellon family can no longer obtain funds from other sources to make up for the deficit. Mellon bank can only sell those mortgage shares to make up for the loss.

It's not over.

That afternoon, Westinghouse put in another knife.

Michael Jordan publicly announced that in view of the uncertain risks of Mellon financial group, Westinghouse will cancel all banking cooperation with Mellon financial group, such as deposit and loan settlement. As one of the largest industrial giants in Pennsylvania, the withdrawal of Westinghouse from Mellon finance inevitably caused panic in the industry. For a while, many enterprises asked to withdraw funds from Mellon finance, which quickly formed a stampede effect.
