Chapter 169: Authentic Wall Street Flavor(1/3)
Abel was not surprised at all by the return of these Wall Street giants.
For people on Wall Street.
There is only one thing that I can't stand the most, and that is not making money.
As long as you can make money, everything else is secondary.
Even if you want him to kneel down and bark like a dog in front of you, only you can obtain enough benefits for him.
I guarantee you can make these guys scream happily at your feet.
This is Wall Street, a world where money comes first.
The first person to come to Abel's side was Philip Purcell, CEO of Morgan Stanley, who had spoken the most decisively in front of many Wall Street giants just now.
And as soon as Philip Purcell came up, he said to Abel who was talking to Robert's grandson:
"Mr. Smith, I agree with your $500 billion offer just now. However, this offer can only be accepted if there are preconditions."
Robert, who was chatting with Abel and also wanted to buy some private equity funds from Smith Capital, was stunned.
Peggy, who was accompanying her grandfather next to her, was also startled.
Both grandfather and grandson heard Philip Purcell's confused words.
Especially the figure of "500 billion US dollars" mentioned by Philip Purcell made both of them stunned.
Five hundred billion dollars?
What is this concept?
Are you talking about the GDP of a small or medium-sized country?
Or are they discussing the funding for the US military this year?
Philip Purcell also noticed the existence of Morgenthau and his grandson.
The CEO of Morgan Stanley nodded to the Manhattan District Attorney as a greeting.
The latter responded immediately, while hesitating whether he should leave.
Because it looks like next Abel will be discussing that $500 billion with Philip Purcell.
Robert didn't know if this was a trade secret, but he was a little curious about what the $500 billion they were talking about was.
Robert also noticed that the two of them didn't seem to be too shy about their opinions.
The old man simply pulled his granddaughter back a step, but did not move away.
Five hundred billion US dollars.
Or the conversation that took place between the super-popular Abel Smith and the CEO of Morgan Stanley.
Even as the chief prosecutor of the Manhattan District, Robert was also curious.
Abel responded with a smile to Philip Purcell.
"Then what are the conditions? Mr. Purcell."
Philip Purcell said: "It's like a gambling agreement, and it's like a guarantee agreement."
At this time, another voice sounded in the small circle.
"Berkshire Hathaway thinks so too!!"
It was Buffett who walked faster. He came to Abel faster than Paulson and Richard Fuld.
Robert and Peggy were even more surprised after seeing Buffett's arrival.
Paulson and Richard Fuld, and several other giants.
They all gathered around Abel again.
Including Davis Brown from the Texas Consortium, who didn't say much just now.
Only the old man Morgan and Rockefeller didn't come over.
These two old men were on the other side, forming another circle.
But these Wall Street giants were able to come to Abel so quickly.
It's most likely related to the two of them.
Robert was wondering whether he should take Peggy away.
Because here, it seems like we are going to talk about some big business event.
So many Wall Street giants, and that figure of $500 billion.
Robert felt that there was something wrong with his grandfather and grandson staying here any longer.
At this moment, Robert saw Abel surrounded by Wall Street giants. Not only did he not
Respond to these giant crocodiles immediately.
He actually reached into his pocket and took out a cell phone.
Then Robert heard Abel laugh and say:
"Oh, there are about two minutes left. I would like to ask you, can you talk to me about this issue again after two minutes?"
"What do you mean, Mr. Smith? Why wait two minutes?"
The bulldogs of Wall Street rush harder than anyone else.
Richard Fuld spoke again.
Abel really didn't like him.
Abel felt that it would be better if Lehman Brothers collapsed in the future.
With such a CEO, it would be unreasonable not to fail!
"Two minutes. Oh, more than ten seconds have passed. That's probably only a little more than a minute." Abel said patiently.
"Since you are interested, come and see me. Then you must be able to afford the remaining time, right?"
"Oh, there's only a minute and a half left, just wait a moment, everyone."
The dozens of Wall Street giants who gathered around him didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling.
But fortunately, it only took a little time, and everyone was really waiting.
This allowed Peggy and her grandfather to see a magical scene in front of them.
That's the kind of people who make all the noise outside and show up at any cocktail party.
They will all become the most popular guests at the cocktail party, the high-profile Wall Street giants.
At this moment, everyone was extremely quiet, but they were all staring at Abel with strange eyes.
Compared with the lively cocktail party outside, this small circle.
For more than a minute, it was as if the silence button had been pressed.
Except for the occasional person who raised his hand to check the time, no one really spoke.
I was really waiting for the minute or so that Abel said.
Looking at this scene, Robert couldn't help but sigh: He's just twenty years old! What will happen when he reaches my age?
Thinking like this, Robert couldn't help but look at his beautiful granddaughter next to him.
At this time, Robert suddenly felt that it would be really good if Peggy married him.
"Huh~"
More than a minute passed quickly, and Abel let out a breath.
He smiled and said: "The time has come. Everyone can call now to inquire about the real-time exchange rate of the US dollar."
Hearing what he said, everyone who had been silent for more than a minute felt a little strange.
Just as Richard Fuld was about to speak, Bryn Buley beside him suddenly grabbed him.
The CFO of Lehman Brothers whispered in the ear of his CEO:
"Something big happened over there in Scotland!"
Richard Fuld was startled, "What's wrong?"
"Irish army!" whispered the CFO:
"They attacked Queen Isa's car! They tied a car bomb, the car bomb exploded, and the Queen's car was blown to pieces!"
Richard Fuld was horrified.
This is not because he loves Her Majesty the Queen and is concerned about Her Majesty's safety.
Rather, such big events can often quickly affect the global financial market and quickly evolve into black swans that can be large or small.
"What about Queen Isa?" Richard Fuld asked immediately.
What Bryn Bulley just said was that the Queen's car was bombed.
