America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 153 East Coast Consortia

  Paris' feeling is actually correct.

   The man Robert Morgenthau beckoned to pass was Abel himself.

  Peggy even resisted and didn't want to go.

  She was dragged by Abel.

  In this case.

  She is not easy to struggle. At this time, there are hundreds of people in the whole reception.

   Most of the eyes are already on the two of them.

  Originally, most of these gazes were in that circle.

   But now the eyes of that circle are all on Abel and her.

  The attention of this circle was naturally transferred to the two of them for a while.

   Peggy is helpless.

  In the end, she was still held by him, and she came to grandpa and other elders.

   There are seven or eight people in the chat circle that Robert is in.

   At a glance, all of them have gray hair, and they all look like old guys over seventy years old.

   "Mr. Smith, good evening." Robert's eyes twitched a little at the moment.

  He couldn't see that Peggy was dragged here by Abel.

  Robert didn't expect that after he called Abel over, Abel also pulled Morgenthau's pearl over.

  In this case,

  Shouldn't Abel let go of Peggy and walk this way alone?

   Do you see that there are all elders here, are they all big bosses?

   Abel has been at the reception for so long, so it's impossible that he still doesn't know who these people around him are?

   If you don’t know, it’s okay to say.

  If you know it, do it again.

  If you even pull your precious granddaughter over.

  Robert doubted.

  This kid may be secretly taking revenge on himself.

   wanted to embarrass Paige in front of these people, which would also embarrass Robert.

   Fortunately, Robert said that he had a strong sense of self-cultivation, and that he was extremely deep in the city.

  This little matter won't make him really angry.

   "Good evening, Mr. Morgenthau, and everyone else. Old gentlemen. Hello, I am Abel Smith."

   After walking in front of these people, Abel smiled and said neither humble nor humble.

  He's in a relaxed state of mind now.

   Like those old guys who went to see the Texas syndicate before.

  In his opinion, these people are not really powerful.

   Really let these people have their current status and influence.

   is their last name.

   are the ancestors behind their last name.

   But their ancestors have long been reduced to ashes.

   Bones may be gone.

  These people are just taking shelter of the legacy left by those momentary heroes.

   is both a reborn person and a super-talented self.

   Don't say that you are just facing the grandsons of these momentary heroes.

  He felt that if he could appear in their era.

  At that time, they may not be the ones who really talk about it!

   Nearly a year of pampering, coupled with invincible experience in the capital market.

   It has changed the mentality of the former Internet writer + red-neck art genius.

   This made him far calmer than anyone else when facing these people.

   His performance.

   It also made these people present feel very surprised.

  Because in this kingdom, even in this world.

   Few people can meet them for the first time and know their identity.

   Can still maintain this calm look.

   There are even many high-ranking people who live in the white palace.

   When meeting them for the first time.

   There are some, and they can't be as calm as Abel's eyes.

   "Hello, Mr. Smith." In the presence, David Rockefeller, who seemed to be the oldest, spoke.

  This is on the grapevine

  The head of the Rockefeller family who has undergone several heart replacement operations said with a smile:

   "It's a pleasure to meet you. It makes me feel like meeting Peter when he was young."

   "But you are younger now. And your experience is more legendary than his."

   "I'm David Rockefeller."

  Finally, the old guy smiled and reached out to Abel: "Again, nice to meet you."

   "Ha~"

  Abel shook hands with him, "Nice to meet you."

  Everyone present may not have expected David Rockefeller to be so proactive.

   After the two shook hands.

   Every few seconds.

   Another one of the most eye-catching figures in the audience.

  John Chris Morgan smiled and said:

   "Hi, Mr. Smith. I'm John Chris Morgan."

   "Same as David. It's a pleasure to meet you, too."

  John Chris Morgan didn't say as much as David Rockefeller.

  Simple opening remarks, he reached out to Abel.

  Abel also responded, shaking his hand with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Morgan."

  This scene not only fell in the eyes of Robert and other people around him.

   It was also seen by more than 99% of the people at the reception.

   Not far away, in the small circle of wealthy daughters who have not yet dispersed.

  Paris whispered in a daze:

   "Catherine, the situation doesn't look like what you said. It looks like those two gentlemen think highly of him."

   Of course Catherine saw it too.

   She never expected, David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan.

  These two can be said to be giants in this country.

   would chat and laugh with Abel like that, and even reach out to him first.

  Catherine said in a daze:

   "What the **** is going on. Isn't it just a Southern old man?"

  Paris couldn't answer her question.

   It should be said that among the people present, they were the most elite group of people.

  Can guess why John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller valued Abel so much.

  An investment genius who is even more exaggerated and powerful than the stock angels of the year.

  There are examples of stock angels first, who wouldn't want to have such a cash cow?

   The line of sight returns to the most valued circle.

  After Morgan and Rockefeller.

  Other old guys in the circle also shook hands with Abel with a smile, and introduced themselves.

  Except for Morgenthau and his two brothers.

  The remaining three old men, one named Reed Cargill.

  Is a member of the Cargill family and a member of the board of directors of Cargill.

  Cargill is the same as Koch, one of the two largest private companies in the United States.

   At the same time it has a more resounding name.

  It is one of the four major grain merchants in the world, and it is the C in ABCD.

   There is also an old man named John Pritzker.

  This John Pritzker is the old man present, the youngest one.

   His surname is also legendary.

  The Pritzker family, which owns the Hyatt Hotel Group, is one of the wealthiest giants in the United States.

  In order to avoid tax, the founder of the family designed more than 1,000 unrelated family trusts to hold the family property.

  The founder expects the family property maintained by this structure to last at least until 2042.

  However, despite binding equity with a complex trust system.

   In the end, it is still difficult to escape the complicated hearts.

  In recent years, internal conflicts in this family have become increasingly serious.

  Those more than a thousand trust funds, it is estimated that there is no way to maintain them until 2042.

  The last old man was named Thomas Peterffy, and his status seemed to be the lowest among everyone present.

  Because he stands on the periphery of this circle and always has a smile on his face.

  In fact, compared to other people, Abel knew the existence of this Thomas Peterffy.

  Strictly speaking, the two are still walking together.

  Thomas Peterffy is the founder of Interactive Brokers. He is a pioneer of computerization and programming on Wall Street in the United States.

   was the first rich man who introduced computers into securities trading on a large scale.

  As for the other two Morgenthaus, one is the District Attorney of New York State.

  One is Robert's brother, Rod Morgenthau.

  The other is the District Attorney of New Jersey, Raleigh Morgenthau, who is Robert's younger brother.

   Sure enough, it is a family of prosecutors, only one Supreme Court justice is missing.

  The identities of these people are basically the same as Abel's last time at the golf course on the outskirts of Houston.

  The families of the heads of the Texas consortium that I met had almost the same identities.

  Abel's attitude towards them is similar to the last time he treated the Texas Consortium.

  But he knew the forces behind these people.

   Added up, it must be much stronger than the Texas consortium.

  Let’s not talk about others.

  Rockefeller and Morgan two people.

   represents two of the top ten consortiums in the United States.

   Those who remain,

  Behind them, there is also the faint power of these financial groups.

  Strictly speaking, these people should be called the East Coast Consortium.

  It is a huge force entrenched on the east coast of the United States, and at the same time, its influence affects and radiates more than half of the United States.

  Compared to several other consortiums, there are West Coast and South.

  These wealthy consortiums on the east coast are the real white flag of the United States.

  The thirteen states in which the United States was founded were all on the east coast.

  Compared with this side, the West Coast and Texas can only be said to be rising stars.

  The last meeting with the Texas consortium ended up being Gujing Wubo.

  Follow-up, except for John J. Brown, the connection with Smith Capital has become closer.

  Abel originally expected that the thing that would allow him to enter the Texas consortium did not happen right away.

  He didn't know if the other party was thinking about it, or for other reasons.

   But today, these East Coast giants.

  Abel found that the performance of these old guys was similar to that of the Texas consortium.

   After getting to know each other, it was all kinds of small talk.

  Although the conversations were mainly about business matters, they were just interesting things.

  For example, let’s talk about the current oil price of around $22+, and what kind of impact it has on the United States and the world.

   These are ordinary people who will feel tall when they hear it.

  But the elites in the circle heard it, but they didn’t feel much about it.

   Coincidentally, Abel is probably not considered an elite in this circle.

  At this moment, after Abel finished listening, he felt like a group of high-level key parties were discussing something he didn't quite understand.

   It’s just that what these people discuss is mainly about economics and finance.

  Abel felt sleepy when he heard it.

  He doesn't like to hear these things, and often he can't even understand them.

  He felt that instead of spending his energy to understand these things, it would be better to build a better and more useful think tank.

  Encountered commercial choices and difficulties, directly asked the think tank to list several options for themselves.

  Among these options, choose the ones that are most beneficial to you, or that are less difficult to implement, or have a higher success rate.

  He himself only needs to be responsible for acting as the pinnacle of the sea in the capital market and financial market.

Industry specializing in surgery.

  Abel feels that it is not a shame to be ordinary in what he does not understand or is not good at.

   anyway

   As long as Wall Street does not fail, labor and capital are the strongest!

  With such a heart, he does not participate in such high-level discussions.

  It was with Peggy Morgenthau, standing in the circle with a smile on her face.

  Looking at these most prominent old men in the United States, chatting like a key political party.

  His quiet performance finally caught the attention of the old men.

  David Rockefeller asked:

   "Mr. Smith. You had a very good performance in international crude oil a while ago. So what do you think will be the impact of maintaining a crude oil price of around 22+ dollars under the current situation?"

   A while ago, Abel commanded and controlled Smith Capital.

   During the two months from the beginning of September to the end of October, during this crude oil fluctuation cycle.

  Completed a long and short investment experience, with a total profit of more than four or five billion US dollars.

  This matter can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from these guys who have inextricably linked with Wall Street banks.

  In the eyes of these old men, this is no secret.

   This is also Abel's biggest hidden danger at the moment, and he has already noticed it.

   But there is no good way yet.

   That is. He does not currently have a major bank of his own!

   This is something for later, so I won't mention it for now.

  Abel faced this question from David Rockefeller, and he noticed that the eyes of the old men were all on him.

  Abel smiled, and then said:

   "To be honest, I'm not good at these things. If it's just these things, maybe any Wharton graduate can surpass me."

   "Words on Crude Oil Prices"

  Abel smiled: "I only know that the lower the price of crude oil, the lower the price of gasoline for driving~~"

  His unique answer surprised the old men.

  David Rockefeller: "Is that all there is?"

   "Yes." Abel nodded affirmatively: "That's what I understand."

"Forehead"

  David Rockefeller was speechless.

  Don't say that the old men are speechless.

  Did not dare to speak from the beginning to the end, Peggy Morgenthau, who was quiet and obedient like a little quail, was also very speechless at this moment.

  This answer

  On the Internet, the answer of any college student can be hundreds of times better than this!

   "That" John Chris Morgan said:

   "Then Mr. Smith. How do you make money in international crude oil, whether you are long or short?"

   "We don't want to explore your secrets, we're just curious. It doesn't matter if we can't tell, after all, each of us will have our own secrets."

  John Chris Morgan's question is the old guys present.

   Even most of Wall Street, most want to ask Abel a question.

  Look at the successful people on Wall Street.

   There are people like James Simmons.

  Obviously a mathematician, but went to Wall Street to play mathematics, and he was very successful.

  The rate of return even far exceeds that of Buffett and Dalio of Bridgewater Fund.

   Like Buffett, half background and half talent, plus a cautious and steady personality.

  Belongs to the traditional faction in Wall Street, relying on stability to make money.

   There are also those like Soros who take a slanted sword and are willing to be the sword of Wall Street, using the power of the United States to harvest the world.

   There are also geniuses who rely on pure talent like Peter Lynch, the stock angel of the year.

  Wall Street is not big, but there are many investment styles here.

   But the vast majority of big players, they are not any of the above factions.

  They act as dealers, players, and referees.

   He was also able to obtain real inside information earlier than anyone else.

  So as to maintain a high annualized rate of return every year, and maintain a very high profit every year.

  The last faction is the one with the largest number of people on Wall Street.

   It can be said that the current Wall Street giants are all of this school.

   It depends on its size and its good relationship with the authorities and the Federal Reserve.

   Coupled with the manipulation of the market, sometimes even take risks and pull out the network cable to make profits.

   And like Abel, all over Wall Street.

   After looking around, it seems that there is only a bit like Peter Lynch back then.

  But Peter Lynch is very cautious when operating, and rarely puts his entire position on it.

  If you can avoid taking any risks, the stock angels will not take any risks, which is a stable one.

   It is stable and profitable, and the rate of return is also high.

   This has made the legend of stock angels.

  Even Peter Lynch retired very early, from becoming famous to retiring, it took about ten years.

  Peter Lynch's external declaration is-"I have exhausted my talent, and continuing will only disappoint investors."

  Retired in his forties and less than fifty years old.

  This age is very young among financial oligarchs.

  Peter Lynch is already the most famous talent on Wall Street.

  Abel is kind of like Peter Lynch. But Abel's investment style, compared with the prudent Peter Lynch, is a pure gambler.

   Except for individual gamblers and lunatics, and those little leeks with small funds.

  There has never been anyone on Wall Street like Abel, who walks a tightrope every time he invests.

   It's like playing baccarat in Las Vegas.

  Every time it gives people the feeling that they are all on top of the game, winning or losing.

  This investment style is almost the same as those amateur rookie small retail investors who are just getting started.

  Even people seem to be more cautious than Abel.

   But even so.

  The Wall Street elites were reviewing Abel's entire trading process.

  Many times I found that Abel was simply going against the market.

   But the final result is that Abel's small fortune has made a big fortune, and his profits have become more and more amazing every time.

   Once or twice, occasionally several times.

   Some people may still suspect that he is an insider.

   It is the kind of insider information that is not available in the market through certain channels.

   But he does it every time.

   And his background also proves that he is on Wall Street, so he should not be able to get this level of inside information.

   This makes the tens of thousands of elites on Wall Street who are studying Abel feel even more incredible.

  Many people have replayed his trading model, and some people try to imitate it.

  The final result is to hit the street.

   These people found that instead of imitating Abel's investment style and approach.

   It's better to take the money and go to Las Vegas to have fun.

  At least over there, you can get the result faster.

   After one year, Abel is the Wolf of Wall Street.

   I don’t know how many trillions of brain cells were consumed by Wall Street elites and financial researchers across the United States.

  In the end, everyone reluctantly came to such a conclusion—

   This guy cannot imitate and learn at all.

  He can do this, or he can predict is a prophet.

   Either he has a keen talent in this regard.

  In short, we have come to the metaphysics.

   Science cannot explain.
