Chapter 1049 (1/2)

Boston, a golf club in the west suburb of the city.

It's already Saturday afternoon.

I had some work in New York yesterday, and I came here in the evening to accompany Maria who was just pregnant. Now she is Maria bezruk. On the other side of ulijana, because she thought the original surname of a woman was long, winding and unpleasant, she simply continued to call her melitskova.

Simon is playing golf with Maria's three boys again. Girl a comes from a distance to remind the guests that she has arrived.

Beckoning the three boys to continue, Simon leaves the court and goes to the cafe on the edge of the court.

In the coffee shop, besides Maria, who was accompanied by him as usual, there was a tall middle-aged man, who looked 40 or 50 years old, with short brown hair, and the typical long round face in the archives of most members of the Mellon family that Simon had just read today.

This is Timothy Mellon.

Although he looks young, he is 54 years old. He is the fourth great grandson of Thomas Mellon, the founder of the Mellon family. He is also the grandson of Andrew W. Mellon, the US Treasury Secretary, who brought the Mellon family to its peak in the 1920s and 1930s.

Most importantly, he is also the fourth generation core of the Mellon family. He not only controls a large transportation company, but also is a director of the Andrew W. Mellon foundation. At the same time, he and his father Paul Mellon are listed in this year's US 400 rich list, with assets of US $1.1 billion and US $500 million respectively.

Seeing Simon appear, Timothy Mellon first got up, welcomed him with a smile, and offered to reach out and say, ”Hi, Simon, nice to meet you, but I've been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Simon is also very enthusiastic: ”me too, Timothy, hello.”

Looking on, Maria sees two men pretending to be snakes. The women who already know why the meeting is going on can't help feeling a little tangled. They don't know if they hope that their children will do the same or can do the same in the future.

When the two men sat down, Maria didn't accompany them. She helped them pour coffee and left the cafe with girl a and several other attendants.

”I've read the family tree of the Mellon family recently. It's amazing to say that,” Simon said to Timothy Mellon after the women left. Their smile remained unchanged. ”From Mr. Thomas Mellon's 1813 to now 1996, the Mellon family is still prosperous for nearly two centuries. In my opinion, the Mellon family is deeper than the Rockefeller family Thick. ”

”Oh, thank you, Simon.”

Timothy Mellon responded with a smile and took a sip of coffee to cope with changes.

Simon waited for Timothy to put down his coffee cup before he continued, ”but do you know what I admire most about Mr. Thomas Mellon?”

”Well?”

”What I admire most is that Mr. Mellon has eight children. In fact, this is also my expectation. Now I also hope that I can have many children, and that my descendants will be prosperous, and that the surname ”westero” will be passed on, because I believe that a single person's life, only if you live long enough, is the winner, and a family, only if their descendants are prosperous enough, is the winner of the world. ”

Timothy Mellon obviously didn't expect Simon westrow to talk to himself about this Some strange topics, waiting for the young man to finish, finally couldn't help saying: ”Simon, I'm more curious why you invited me today. We didn't have much in common before, so why not order directly?”

”In fact, that's what I'm going to talk about,” Simon said, handing over a document on the table, and then said, ”it's not easy for any family to continue for a long time, just like Morgan, which was tied with Rockefeller in those years. Now, except for the names of the big companies on Wall Street, the family has declined. Oh, by the way, there are also the Hurst family. It's a pity that the last two years have happened. In fact, my initial expectation was to establish a good cooperative relationship with the Hurst family. Unfortunately, I'm a nouveau riche, obviously not a respectable old man like hurst. ”

Timothy Mellon doesn't have to listen to Simon's last intention. He just opens up a pile of information in front of him, and his eyelids can't help jumping.

First of all, there are some photos in the folder.

One of them is the woman with glasses who just left.

Then there was a draft headline: ”scandal, two Ukrainian lovers in westero are all pregnant!”

Turning back, Timothy Mellon quickly understood the whole story.

this report is a covert investigation conducted by two journalists in the Pittsburgh Tribune over Pittsburgh, including various videotaping, recording and high price buying of data obtained from a private hospital.

However, it is not these that shocked Timothy Mellon the most. Instead, the whole investigation process of the two journalists was carefully recorded by other ”eyes”, including how their cousin Richard Mellon skeev instructed them, who the two journalists contacted, and even the explosive manuscript will be used as the arrangements for next Monday's blockbuster news.Not only that, in the second half of the material, the painting style suddenly changed into the privacy of his stupid cousin, a bunch of lovers and illegitimate children.

After reading the materials in his hand, Timothy Mellon felt that a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his back, and he could not help scolding his cousin. Was he going to fight Simon westrow like the Hurst family? What's more, is it going to take the whole Mellon family to war?

Simon quietly waited for Timothy Mellon to close the folder. Seeing that he was hesitant and obviously didn't know how to open his mouth, he took the lead in saying, ”maybe the reason is that your cousin thought I didn't respect him enough at the last cocktail party I came to Boston. It's easy to understand that the Mellon family, as an old family of the Federation, should be respectful to anyone. All in all, he probably wanted to teach me a lesson. ”

Timothy Mellon stopped and said, ”Simon, actually, Charlie and I are not very close. Since you have read the genealogy, you should know that our family is very large. Richard is only the grandson of my grandfather and brother. We are only the fourth generation.”

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly. ”So you can't handle this?”

”No, no, of course not. I promise it won't appear in the paper next Monday.”

”I know that Mr. Schiff has spent millions of dollars in recent years to dig into the president's black stuff, and he has gained a lot. However, as you can see now, the White House has not suffered any fundamental damage. On the contrary, Clinton's position has become more and more stable, which has proved that these indecent means are useless. Since it's useless to the president, a public figure who needs love, it's certainly useless to me. ”

Timothy Mellon listened patiently. He had scolded a cousin a hundred times in his heart. After a pause, he still had to say, ”Simon, I I'll apologize for you on behalf of Charlie. If you think it's necessary, I'll ask him to apologize to you personally. ”

Although the strength of the Mellon family is even higher than that of the Rockefeller family, Timothy Mellon is also more aware of the power of Simon westrow, who is worth $1.5 trillion. If there is a real conflict, even though westrow will be disheartened, the Mellon family will definitely be reduced to the same level as the Hurst family We are in a better position.

All in all, this soft, have to take.

Simon stares at Timothy Mellon, but shakes his head: ”I believe in another rule, Timothy. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Apology is not enough.”

Timothy Mellon looked at the information in front of him and said, ”the two journalists who investigated this will be fired and will never be able to enter the industry.”

”Not enough,” Simon shook his head again and said directly, ”since Mr. skefe wants to publish a big story about me in the Pittsburgh Tribune next Monday, if you want him not to do so, turn off the paper.”
