Getting closer to this building, Yang Jing can feel a quaint taste from it.This is the taste of time precipitation, which is rare now, even in some ancient cities in China, it is very rare to see such a nearly 100-year-old building.The building is a typical Georgian style of architecture, which was derived from the Italian Renaissance style after it was introduced to Britain in 1700, and adheres to the classical style of symmetry and harmony, which has been popular among various British colonial countries for a long time.This architectural style is one of the most influential styles in the United States, and many old manors or villas in the United States are deeply influenced by this style, after all, most of the earliest Americans came from Great Britain on the other side of the Atlantic.Obviously, Andrew Mellon was also deeply influenced by this architectural style when he built this building.The Georgian style is the most particular about the "façade", whether it is the main entrance or the porch, with a kind of understated luxury.At the gate stood a white couple, the man was tall and a little fat, and the woman was a little thin but had an excellent temperament."
This is Mr. and Mrs.
Scaife."
After Bloomberg finished whispering in Yang Jing's ear, he walked up enthusiastically."
Hey Michael, thank you so much for being able to join us today."
Scaife was very happy to see Bloomberg.After a few words of greeting, Bloomberg smiled and introduced: "Richard, introduce you to a friend, this is Mr.
Cole Smith, the owner of the KY Investment Fund."
Cole, this is Mr.
Richard Mellon Scaife, this is his wife, the eternally young and beautiful Elizabeth Scaife. ”Hearing Bloomberg's introduction, Scaife's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to hold Yang Jing's hand and shook it vigorously a few times and said, "Cole, you don't care if I call you that, right?"
”Yang Jing smiled and shook his head, "How could it be?"
That's what my friends call me. ”"Well, you can call me Richard the same way as Michael, and my friends call me that.It's a pleasure to meet you, Cole, I've heard Michael mention you for a long time, and it's an honor to finally meet you today. ”Yang Jing smiled modestly, "Richard, you are too modest. ”For Yang Jing, Skeef is really not polite, in the stock market crash that suddenly broke out more than ten days ago, the Mellon family also lost a lot, if it were not for this KY investment fund that was born out of nowhere to buy back shares and drive the market to stabilize and rebound, the Mellon family's losses may be even greater.In addition, KY Investment Fund is now the largest investor in Alcoa and Pittsburgh Steel, and KY Investment Fund's stake in these two Mellon family-controlled companies has played a crucial role in stabilizing the company's stock price.In particular, this KY investment fund knows how to advance and retreat, and it is very proportionate, just like Alcoa's shares, this investment fund could have bought back more Alcoa shares in that stock market crash, but they bought about 65% of the shares and stopped.These shares have little impact on the Mellon family's control of Alcoa, but they can have a greater impact on common shareholders and other investors.The presence of such a well-capitalized investment fund in Alcoa with great fanfare is a leader in rebuilding confidence in Alcoa among common shareholders and other investors.Although KY Investment Funds only started buying shares when Alcoa's valuation fell by more than 41 percent, making it cheaper for them to buy, Scaife didn't mind them doing so.After all, KY Investment Fund is a private investment profit institution, why should people buy your stocks if they are not profitable?
Compared to the pull effect of KY investment funds on Alcoa's valuation, their purchase of Alcoa stock at a low price is nothing at all.If it weren't for them, Alcoa, which has a market value of nearly $20 billion, plummeted by 41 all of a sudden, which would really make the Mellon family suffer huge losses.It is no exaggeration to say that because of the emergence of the KY investment fund, those big consortia like the Mellon consortium have to inherit the kindness of this fund, especially the old men of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.If it weren't for this KY investment fund, not to mention the Mellon family, the Morgan and Rockefeller families would have lost even more!
It's just that this KY investment fund that came out of nowhere is really mysterious, whether it is the huge amount of bailout funds or the origin of this investment fund, it is very mysterious.The most important thing is that this investment fund rarely goes through the accounts of those big banks in the United States, and most of their sources of funds come from banks in Switzerland, so whether it is the Mellon family, the Morgan family, or the Rockefeller family, they can't figure out the specific information of this fund.Just know that this investment fund that suddenly appeared is currently in several large US banks with a surprisingly large amount of liquidity.Not to mention anything else, the current market value of the 27 companies controlled by this fund alone is already an extremely terrifying number.Therefore, both the Mellon family and several other major conglomerates are extremely interested in this investment fund that is now enough to influence Wall Street.Unexpectedly, the owner of this mysterious fund actually appeared here.It's also strange that Bloomberg didn't explain to Skaef who the invitation was for when he asked for the invitation before, this guy just said that he wanted to give Skafe a surprise, and sure enough, this surprise was not small!
Skeef also really wants to make friends with this mysterious person with amazing wealth.People of their stature know best how much influence a huge amount of wealth can bring.Although Scaife had never heard of this Cole Smith before, he would definitely put this tycoon with a huge fortune on an equal footing with him, if not higher.No way, Skeef, who was born in a big family, knows very well that in a social system where capital is king, whoever controls more capital in his hands will be more powerful.Even if this Cole Smith was unknown before, Scaife knew very well that now with this Cole Smith's terrifying net worth, as long as he wanted to, he would immediately be one of the top few people in the United States.It is even no exaggeration to say that even the president of the United States, a tycoon of this level can ignore it.It's like the big names of the Mellon family.Not only the Mellon family, but also the big names of the Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont families, which one will really take the president seriously?
Being able to befriend such a tycoon with a huge fortune is absolutely only good and no harm to the Mellon family.Therefore, Mr. and Mrs.
Scaife were extremely enthusiastic about Yang Jing, and they didn't even care about entertaining some other guests.Among them, after the US Treasury Secretary James Baker came here, the Scaifes did not pay attention to him, but let the other person in charge of the family receive these guests.For the ignorance of the Scaifes, James Baker, who is the US Treasury Secretary, is also helpless, although he is the US Treasury Secretary and nominally controls the wealth of the entire United States, but he knows very well that even if the boss Reagan comes, it is nothing in front of such a deep-rooted family.Not to mention that the tall Scaife in front of him is still a recognized "right-wing king" in American politics, and this guy's influence in American politics is even greater than that of the president, and it is far from something that he, the secretary of finance, can afford.James Baker is not qualified to move forward, but that doesn't mean that others are not qualified to move forward.Today is the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mr.
Richard Beatimellon, so many big people who are rarely seen in ordinary times have appeared here, among them, the representatives of the top ten American conglomerates are all here.These representatives are all banner figures in their respective families or consortia, otherwise they would not have received a personal invitation from Mr.
Richard Kim Meuron, the two major banner figures of the Mellon family are attending today's cocktail party, and those big families and big consortia will inevitably send corresponding figures to attend today's cocktail party.If you are in this Vanity Fair, you must abide by the rules of this Vanity Fair.However, when these big men came to this old manor, they found that one of the current protagonists and one of the current core figures of the Mellon family, Scaife, was standing at the door and talking to a strange man, and even the treasurer Baker and the owners of several other companies did not bother to entertain him.Who is this mysterious man?
How can you make Scaife think so highly?
You must know that Scaife, as a well-known "right-wing king" in American politics, has such a behemoth as the Mellon family behind him, his vision is quite high, for him, a person with a personal net worth of less than one billion dollars is just an ordinary person.But what the hell is this scene in front of you?
Driven by curiosity, the big names rushed to the top.In terms of their status, they are fully qualified to be on an equal footing with Scaife, and there are even a few people who are really big names that Scaife needs to look up to.For example, Harry Morgan, the son of Henry Morgan, who founded Morgan Stanley, Lawrence Rockefeller, the third-generation banner figure of the Rockefeller family, who is known as the "father of venture capital" on Wall Street, Chris Dupont, the banner figure of the DuPont family, and Michael Reid, the current chairman of Citibank, can take out any one of these people who can be on an equal footing with Scaife and even need Scaife to look up to.Then, when these bigwigs learned that this mysterious man turned out to be the owner of the KY investment fund, there were several more famous bigwigs in front of the gate of this ancient building: bowed and thanked "A Rain of Smoke and Rain Ren Pingsheng 1989" 100 for the reward.
