Chapter 1312 The Past of the Mellon Family
As mindy said, the stock price of Alcoa is very sluggish. It is currently hovering around 6 or 7 US dollars. The total market value is only more than 1 billion US dollars. It quietly acquires less than 5% of the shares. Alcoa was overwhelmed and sold backhandedly, at least twice the investment cost was returned.
"Please help me introduce, I also want to meet Mr. Mellon." Yang Cheng insisted.
Now that she persuaded her, Mindy stopped talking nonsense and nodded, "No problem~"
Zhao Anqi wanted to persuade her again, but thinking that Mindy was still there, she had some things to say, so she could only swallow them back.
"How about tonight? I'm going to the hospital to see Matthew after get off work, you can go together." Mindy glanced at the schedule on the phone and said suddenly.
Yang Cheng and Zhao Anqi looked at each other, "We're fine, let's make it so."
"Well, you can go out for a walk, but there is nothing to see in Baltimore." Mindy complained.
Yang Cheng also thought so, "You don't have to worry about us, just work at ease, and I'll pick you up after get off work."
. . .
After leaving the laboratory, Yang Cheng and Zhao Anqi stood by the side of the street, "Did you have something to say just now?"
Zhao Anqi gave him a blank look, "You're not stupid, why invest in Alcoa? Now it's not the same as before, and you don't have any investment in heavy industry."
Yang Cheng put her arms around this well-known woman in comfort, and said softly, "Are you still worried about me? When did I make a loss-making investment, and I just took the opportunity to buy the bottom to make a quick buck. I never wanted to hold a shareholding."
In this way, Zhao Anqi can rest assured that purely financial investment, Yang Cheng is professional.
"Okay, where are we going now? We can't take a walk on the street, can we?"
Zhao Anqi parted her hair and put on her sunglasses again, the sunlight was a bit dazzling.
Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Go to the beach? See the oldest Baltimore Inner Harbor?"
Zhao Anqi was too lazy to make up her mind, "I listen to you~"
As the second largest port for immigrants arriving in the American continent, Baltimore's inner port, known as the "Pearl Harbor", is also the most important port in the eastern United States.
When they arrived in the inner harbor by car,
The originally clear sky was shrouded by a large cloud, and the gloomy sky seemed to be about to rain heavily.
There are many restaurants and bookstores on both sides of the Inner Harbor. The flagship store of Barnes & Noble Bookstore, the largest bookstore chain in the United States, is located on the side of the Inner Harbor. It is said to have a history of more than 130 years. It was transformed from a chimney. Many small cruise ships and There are dedicated berths for fishing boats and sailing boats.
After getting out of the car and walking for a while, he sat casually on the restaurant terrace near the coast, seagulls flew over his head, and the gentle sea breeze blew his mind and spirit. This was the first time Yang Cheng felt at ease after entering Baltimore.
After ordering some drinks and snacks, the two chatted.
"It's rare to relax, but it's a pity that Baltimore is not a good place to relax."
Zhao Anqi took off her sunglasses, squinted her eyes and opened her arms towards the wind, embracing the sea breeze, "I think it's good. Look, there are old people walking there, aren't they also very leisurely?"
Yang Cheng was helpless, this was pure exaggeration, thick French fries served with a milkshake, the calories exploded, after eating a few, Yang Cheng began to question, "How do you know people from the Mellon family?"
Zhao Anqi was not very interested in French fries, she sipped her milkshake and said with a smile, "I know a lot of people, but Mindy is a good friend, even though we only meet each other a handful of times a year."
"Let's talk about it? I'm bored anyway." Yang Cheng said seductively.
A look of reminiscence appeared on Zhao Anqi's face, "I remember it was 20 years ago, when Mindy was a girl in her teens, and was taken to Washington by his father, Mr. Matthew Mellon, to attend a banquet. She was a congressman. It was held at that time when I just married my ex-husband, and my life was very depressing. I didn't see smiling faces all day long, and I huddled in a corner at the banquet and didn't see anyone.
It's the same with mindy, we met in a corner by accident, we didn't speak at first, I was bored and picked my fingers, while she was reading a biology book with great interest, so I curiously asked if I understood ? "
Speaking of which, he spread his hands, "You know what's going on later, we just got to know each other like this, and then we exchanged addresses. In those years, we often corresponded, and we went back and forth again and again, and it became a good year-end friendship."
So that's the case, they are also soul pen pals?
"In this generation, the Mellon family may have to say goodbye to the upper class of the United States."
"Well~ Mindy's two elder brothers will lose the last penny of the Mellon family, there is no doubt about it."
Yang Cheng remembered what they had said in the laboratory before, "What exactly is that matter you mentioned in the laboratory?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhao Anqi became furious, "About ten years ago, mindy finally got the support of Matthew and established this laboratory. In the first year of the establishment of the laboratory, there were already results hatched, although Not a remarkable achievement, but also mindy's hard work.
In the end, her two elder brothers found out about it somehow, and sold the result without telling her, but only kept a quarter of the money from the sale to mindy.
Mindy was angry but wanted to sue publicly, but was persuaded by Matthew on the grounds of family honor. If it hadn't been for that incident, Mindy's laboratory would have been famous all over the United States. Why is it still curled up in a poor place like Baltimore? "
Yang Cheng was a little bit embarrassed. Generally, screenwriters can't write this story, and the sorrow of the descendants of a big family is nothing more than that.
How powerful the Mellon family was back then, now, alas. . .
He couldn't help thinking about his descendants, would such a prodigal son appear, if he found out, would he crawl out of the ground angrily and kill his relatives righteously?
"Then why did you let me invest in the laboratory?" Yang Cheng asked again.
It's not that Zhao Anqi has no money, she can fully support the expenses of the laboratory by herself, why drag herself into the pit?
"mindy doesn't agree with my investment, maybe it's because I'm afraid that failure will hurt me~"
These words almost made Yang Cheng's nose crooked. Are you afraid of failure if you co-operate with the young master? Can be implicated?
Seeing Yang Cheng's unhappy expression, he realized the ambiguity in his words, and quickly added a sentence, "But I think with Mindy's talent, the possibility of failure is very small."
She curled her lips and said, "An explanation is equal to a cover-up. I won't invest anyway."
Zhao Anqi stared and kicked him under the table, but it was useless, but she was wearing pointed toe and high heels, "Ouch~"
Yang Cheng let out a cry of pain, not only did he not look at him with sympathy, but instead showed contempt.
"By the way, do you know who Mindy's stepmother is?"
How could Yang Cheng know, but the one worthy of Zhao Anqi's mention must not be a small person, "I don't even know my own mother, let alone a stepmother?"
Angie Zhao smiled slightly, "That's right, but your mother must know Tamara, a co-founder of Jimmy Choo."
