v3 Chapter 846: Solomon Brothers enters the game (1/2)
The Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York, is a favorite residential area for the rich, where many wealthy financial and investment banks gather.
In a mansion in this area, the beautiful light music played through the screen windows, intersecting with the insects in the garden, and the bright moonlight poured down. Looking through the window, the figure in the living room can be vaguely seen.
”John, welcome you!”
Albert Raphael, the owner, raised the goblet, shook the amber wine in the glass, and smiled while looking at John Gufran, who was sitting across from him.
”Hey!”
John Gufran with glasses raised his glass, touched Albert Raphael lightly, smiled and said, ”Albert, thank you for your hospitality.”
After all, the two toasted and drank together.
On the table, of course, not only Albert Raphael and John Gufran, but also their families.
It's just that their family members will not intervene in their topics. Women talk to women, children and children very freely.
A sumptuous dinner lasted nearly forty minutes, and finally Albert Raphael’s wife and John Gufran’s wife went to tidy the table together, while the children went upstairs to play.
For a while, the living room became quiet again.
Albert Raphael turned on the TV and turned down the sound a bit, and the two drank coffee talking and laughing.
At this moment, news about the American Copper Company was broadcast. John Gufran smiled and looked at Albert Raphael, who happened to also smile at him.
John Gufran admired: ”Albert, is this your handwriting?”
Albert Raphael did not answer directly, but shrugged and spread his hands and said, ”I said no, do you believe it?”
John Gufran smiled and shook his head: ”I don't believe it!”
As the current president of Salomon Brothers, one of the large Wall Street financial companies, he is naturally not unfamiliar with this method. Combined with what happened during this period, he does not believe that this is not the work of Phillip Brothers.
And the initiator is probably the old neighbor in front of him.
”Albert, as far as the current situation is concerned, the strength of this Galaxy Fund should not be underestimated. You have to be careful not to capsize.”
John Gufran seems to be joking, but his tone is very serious, obviously he attaches great importance to the Galaxy Fund.
In fact, the same is true. Although he started in the bond department of Salomon Brothers and took over as president after Bill Solomon retired in 1978, it does not mean that he is only proficient in the bond market and not the futures market.
After Salomon Brothers gained a firm foothold in the bond market, in the 1950s and 1960s, it set foot in the field of stock issuance and trading, especially block trading, and under the leadership of Bill Solomon, Salomon Brothers was also one of the main forces in the futures market.
The fighting power shown by the Galaxy Fund today, as well as the financial resources revealed behind it, are enough for John Gufran to regard it as an opponent of the same level.
Although Salomon Brothers is not as strong as Philip Brothers, it can still pose a great threat, so changing to the mysterious Galaxy Fund is no exception.
Who knows if the Galaxy Fund will show more muscles?
Albert Raphael nodded solemnly and said seriously: ”John, I don't underestimate this company. This time, I plan to do my best!”
John Gufran was taken aback and looked at Albert Raphael with scorching eyes, and found that the latter looked solemn and did not seem to be joking at all.
Albert Raphael told him this so brightly, what on earth did he want to do?
Several thoughts flashed in John Gufran's mind, and a curiosity arose in his mind.
”Albert, are you sure?”
John Gufran asked.
If at the beginning, Albert Raphael still had full certainty, but the combat effectiveness shown by the Galaxy Fund today makes him a little bit unsure, otherwise he will not use outside tricks to make the US Southern Company and Alcoa sold their company's face, announced the second-quarter financial report a few days in advance, and also released smoke bombs.
And most importantly, if he was really sure, he would not invite John Gufran to his home tonight.
But these can't be said, otherwise how can Salomon Brothers get into the chariot?
So he confidently said: ”John, in the US futures market, which company do you think can rival our company?”
”This is the United States. How can a company from a remote country beat us? We will entertain it warmly.”
John Gufran listened with a smile, and nodded uncontrollably, making it impossible to see whether he agreed with Albert Raphael.
At this moment, Albert Raphael turned his head and smiled and said, ”But!”
