"Leonard, did you meet John Chris Morgan?"
News about John Chris Morgan always spread quickly.
When Leonard Mellon and Xia Yu returned to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from New York, Paul Mellon immediately found his nephew Leonard Mellon to find out the specific situation.
"Yes, Uncle Paul, I went to talk to him about a cooperation!"
Leonard Mellon said very calmly.
Paul Mellon frowned slightly, a little annoyed that Leonard Mellon could make opinions without consulting him.
But he remained patient and asked for details: "What kind of cooperation are you talking about with him?"
Leonard Mellon smiled and said the results: "In fact, it is to let John Chris Morgan transfer part of the equity to us. These equity interests include New York City, Pittsburgh National Bank, Martin Marietta, Westinghouse Electric the company…"
As Leonard Mellon continued to tell, Paul Mellon was very surprised, and the slight irritation just now disappeared.
He hurriedly asked: "John Chris Morgan agreed?"
"He agreed on the spot, and I took the opportunity to make a friend with him."
"As for the specific details of the acquisition, I am preparing to come back and tell you so that I can arrange for someone to match it."
"Good job!" Paul Mellon applauded subconsciously.
This is absolutely excellent news for the Mellon family.
These days, the pressure from Rockefeller is felt by the entire Mellon family, and Paul Mellon can’t sleep well at night.
But if the shares of these companies held by the Morgan Consortium are taken at one time, then Rockefeller will not turn the sky!
After being happy, Paul Mellon calmed down.
He asked with a serious face, "Leonard, why would John Chris Morgan agree? What bargaining chip did you give him?"
"I said that I would sell him 11.84% of the equity in Morgan Trust Company in New York held by the family!" Leonard Mellon reported truthfully.
"No, where does our family have so much equity? I remember only 8.72%!" Paul Mellon asked, frowning for a moment.
"Yes, but I asked my brother-in-law Xia Yu to help buy 3.12%, so it adds up to 11.84%."
Leonard Mellon told the truth very calmly.
At this moment, Paul Mellon was silent.
For a long time, Paul Mellon said: "Thank him then."
"It's fine if the equity of Morgan Trust Company in New York is gone. Anyway, your father hid these equity in order to one day play a huge role, and now it can be regarded as effective."
"Only the company that can be controlled is truly one's own."
"Leonard, you did a good job and you have grown a lot. I'm very pleased."
After speaking, Paul Mellon patted Leonard Mellon on the shoulder, his eyes filled with gratification and admiration.
Leonard Mellon was overjoyed. He held back his smile and remained humble: "Uncle Paul, I still have a lot of room for growth. Today I officially talked with John Chris Morgan about things, and I realized that I was very close to him. Not a small gap."
"But I will continue to work hard, and strive to be able to talk and laugh with John Chris Morgan as early as possible."
Paul Mellon’s color of relief became more intense, and he was full of emotion: "You have this kind of mentality. Very few people in the family dare to negotiate directly with John Chris Morgan. You have done it. Things most people can't do."
"Keep working hard. If you have anything to discuss with me, I will support you." 166
"Okay, thank you Uncle Paul!" Leonard Mellon said hurriedly.
"Make a deal with John Chris Morgan as soon as possible. The family and the consortium have been messed up for long enough and can't be delayed."
Paul Mellon patted Leonard Mellon on the shoulder again, and after a word of exhortation, he walked away with ease.
"I'll do it right away!"
Seeing Paul Mellon's back, Leonard Mellon responded loudly.
Thinking of the conversation just now, the smile on his face finally couldn't hide.
He succeeded!
After that, Leonard Mellon devoted himself to work with high spirits.
…
Both Mellon and Morgan wanted to help each other as soon as possible, so as to pit the Rockefeller consortium.
In the face of strategic interests at the consortium level, some marginal interests are not worth mentioning.
Instead, time is the most precious.
therefore.
The transaction between the two parties was completed quickly, and it took less than a day!
With the assistance of the Morgan Consortium, the Mellon family completed the holdings of the Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh.
The control of Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric Company has also stabilized.
Seeing the intervention of the Morgan Consortium, the original turmoil instantly stopped, and the temptation of Lockheed's merger plan was greatly reduced.
The Mellon family took the opportunity to deepen their control of the four companies.
This kind of thing that annoyed David Rockefeller, he didn't have the mind to deal with it.
Because John Chris Morgan has already called on him.
Get 11.84% of the equity in the Mellon family transaction, plus the original equity.
In the New York Morgan Trust Company, the Morgan Consortium can add three more director seats!
Originally the Rockefeller consortium completely controlled two more director seats than the Morgan consortium.
But now the situation is reversed, and the Morgan Consortium has overtaken seats, with one more seat!
With just one more seat on the board of directors, John Chris Morgan was not completely successful.
John Chris Morgan wants to take back the New York Morgan Trust Company and rename it J.P Morgan. He also needs him to completely control the board of directors, or to arrange for someone to sit on the board chairman.
This requires a lot of work to acquire other shareholders’ equity or persuade other directors to do the reverse.
After receiving the news, David Rockefeller was furious and immediately formulated a defensive strategy.
Although New York Morgan Trust Company is a bank, as the fifth largest bank in the United States, there are too many companies and assets linked to it.
If John Chris Morgan is allowed to take control, his ability can cause major harm to the Rockefeller consortium, but the strength of the Morgan consortium can increase by a bit!
The importance of this matter has already ranked first!
Soon, the two major forces started fighting over the New York Morgan Trust Company.
Other shareholders are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the fight between the great gods, and waiting to fall to the party that promises the most benefits!
It can be said that if Xia Yu used this trick, the brains of the two giants in the future will have to be played out!
And as the Rockefeller consortium lost its offensive, other forces also realized that the Mellon consortium had completed the contraction of the front.
If you continue to attack, you won't get any benefits. Instead, it will easily lead to revenge from the Mellon consortium, and you will be killed.
Therefore, how fast these enemies came before, and how fast they are now retreating, all died down.
The Mellon family has a good development environment for integrating forces.
But this time.
After consulting Xia Yu, the brothers Leonard Mellon and Woodrow Mellon personally called Peter Lynch, the president of Polaris Capital.
Then Leonard Mellon approached Paul Mellon and expressed his thoughts.
"What, do you want to attack the Cleveland Consortium with the Polaris Consortium?"
"What's the reason?"
Paul Mellon looked at his excellent nephew with stern eyes.
Leonard Mellon spoke eloquently: "Uncle Paul, our family has completed the front-line contraction plan, the strategic goal has been completed, and the rest is the detail work, the resistance has disappeared, as long as it takes time."
"And we dealt with it fully at the beginning, prepared more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of funds, now only a part of it, we still have a large amount of liquidity on hand."
"The Bank of New York and the National Bank of Pittsburgh are also firmly controlled, so in fact, the amount of funds we can freely use is more."
"During this time, our family's internal popularity has fluctuated, and in the outside world, our family's power has also declined a lot."
"So I hope to re-establish our power through a war, so that everyone knows that even if my father doesn't wake up temporarily, the Mellon family can't offend!"
"It doesn't have much meaning or benefit to fight against ordinary enemies, but the Cleveland Consortium is different."
"Now the Cleveland consortium is a little caught off guard facing the offensive of the Polaris consortium."
"Other forces are also eyeing the Cleveland Consortium, so we can be absolutely sure that the Cleveland Consortium will definitely suffer."
"We have little risk of joining the offense, but with our strength, the effect will definitely be significant."
"There is another important point. The Polaris Consortium is our ally. Because it helped us, we were retaliated by the Cleveland Consortium. Fortunately, the Polaris Consortium responded quickly and eliminated a major crisis, but it also suffered losses. This was the way to counter Cleveland. Consortium." 78 Chinese Network
"So whether it is to thank our allies or for ourselves, we should work with the Polaris consortium at this time to retaliate against the Cleveland consortium!"
"..."
After listening to Leonard Mellon's reason. U U Reading
Paul Mellon took a deep look at his nephew, then nodded and said, "You see it thoroughly."
"I totally support you."
"It's up to you to summon the family members. A high-level family meeting will be held tonight, and then you will tell them your plan."
"I'm leaving first, and I will help you do the rest of the work of the stable family."
"Thank you Uncle Paul!"
Leonard Mellon said happily.
Looking at Paul Mellon's back, Leonard Mellon clenched his fists and punched hard.
It is the power of the patriarch of the family to convene a meeting with family members.
After Richard King Mellon fell ill, Paul Mellon was responsible for convening and presided over the meetings during this period.
But now, this power is in his hands for the first time!
The position of the head of the family is already beckoning him.
Carefully prepared all afternoon.
In the evening, Leonard Mellon once again explained his views and plans.
This time, Paul Mellon did not give him the first time support, and Leonard Mellon persuaded the high-level family who had been suffocating in his heart for a long time.
This in turn made Paul Mellon even more gratified, the family's hearts have been united again.
In the end, the Mellon family high-level meeting unanimously approved and supported Leonard Mellon's proposals and decisions.
Attack the Cleveland Consortium!
Early the next morning, the Mellon consortium directly blew the horn of attack and launched an attack with a big fanfare.
For a time, I don't know how many people were dumbfounded.
I don’t know how many people feel that Feng Shui turns around...
