Chapter 011 Pirates

The colorful sunset turned half of the sky into a luminous brocade. The blood-red sunset slowly sank among the scattered clouds. It cast a rose-colored slanting glow. The last afterglow of the sunset was on the sea.

After scattering thousands of pearls, they disappeared into the depths of the sea...

Night has fallen.

It is rare to get dark in big cities. Even though neon lights have only been put on the market for two years, they have already taken over the night sky in New York. The neon tubes are too bright and overbearing, and the sky in New York has become nightless. Carriages and cars

Walking under the neon lights, some colorful products are displayed in the kitchen windows facing the street. In some secluded alleys, in the dim doorways, even though it is the severe winter, there are still a few bare breasts exposed.

Women flirted with passers-by, and flirtatious sounds filled the street.

In some bustling streets, the atmosphere of New York, a city that never sleeps, is even more evident. Gorgeously dressed dancers accompany some rich people in and out of the dance halls. Men squander money and women squander their youth. This is New York, where people are drunk and rich.

of New York.

At night, the atmosphere of the bustling city is immersed.

Two intertwined bodies entangled.

A charming and seductive moan came from the throat of the woman riding on the man's body. Finally, accompanied by a long moan that was so sweet that it was bone-chilling, the blond woman lay lazily on the man's body, constantly panting.

After resting for ten seconds, the blonde lay down on the bed from the man's body. Her golden curly hair was spread messily on the bed, and her face looked even more coquettish and helpless.

At this time, the air in the room is filled with the greasy smell of licking after love, stimulating people who have just woken up from desire...

The beautiful blonde slowly sat up and brushed the long hair behind her ears, showing a charming and lazy face. Then she stood up naked, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, and

Once she was dressed, she picked up the banknotes on the bedside table, gave the man sleeping on the bed a kiss, and then turned and left the room.

The phone rang in the darkness, a harsh and monotonous sound, like a school bell.

The ringing made Li Zicheng slowly wake up on the bed. He reached for the bedside lamp and turned on the light. He squinted at the environment and found that it was a luxurious Renaissance-style bedroom with furniture from Louis XVI.

The walls are decorated with handmade wall coverings, and there is a large four-poster mahogany bed.

"Where am I?"

The jacquard yukata hanging on the bedpost reads: New York Plaza Hotel.

"I drank too much yesterday!"

Patting his head, which was a little dizzy due to hangover, Li Zicheng vaguely remembered that he seemed to have drunk too much yesterday, and seemed to have brought a beautiful golden cat to the hotel.

The annoying ringing tone of the phone was still ringing, so I picked up the receiver with my left hand and the microphone with my right hand.

"Hello!"

"Mr. Li?"

a man's voice asked.

"I hope I didn't wake you!"

Li Zicheng looked at the clock beside his bed sleepily. It was 12:32 midnight. According to past habits, he had just fallen asleep at most, and he was indeed woken up by this person.

"I'm the hotel concierge, sir. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a guest who wants to see you. He insists that the matter is urgent."

"Someone wants to see me?"

Li Zicheng was stunned by the receptionist's words. This was not his usual hotel. Who was he and how did he find this place?

"Tell him I'm tired and..."

Li Zicheng directly refused without even thinking about it.

"But, sir!"

The receptionist quickly interrupted him, lowered his voice and whispered urgently.

"Your guest is an important person."

"VIP?"

Although Li Zicheng was a little confused, and the feeling of being woken up made Li Zicheng extremely uncomfortable, he still maintained the most basic courtesy.

"Please write down that person's name and phone number and tell him that I will call him tomorrow. Thank you."

Before the receptionist could say anything else, he hung up the phone.

After being woken up, Li Zicheng sat up. He turned his head and stared tiredly at the large mirror opposite. Looking back at him was a stranger with disheveled hair, looking like he was still hungover, decadent and decadent.

Fall!

When this word came to his mind, Li Zicheng couldn't help but smile, he had really fallen.

After returning from Pittsburgh, the torturous waiting was almost his entire life. First he was waiting for the reply from the United States Steel Company, and then he was waiting for Mu Xiangyue's reply to him. But no good news came from there every day, and

During this period of time, the unbearable waiting made me degenerate rapidly. I vented my anxiety through drinks every day, as if I had found a prostitute yesterday!

They walked naked to the window. The hotel faced Central Park. They were all lost in thought. Why haven't they given themselves an answer until now?

"65%!"

Thinking of today... No, it should be that I received a notice from the bank yesterday that Albert Casapes had been transferred. The bank manager received me, but he did not give me 90% of the loan, but 65%.

He even said that if he refused, no bank in the United States would accept his loan.

"Morgan!"

Reciting this name, Li Zicheng felt a fire in his heart. Just wait, as long as you are willing to buy my patent, you...

"Dong dong..."

Suddenly, a heavy knock on the door interrupted Li Zicheng's thoughts. Someone knocked on the door with a fist.

Li Zixu hurriedly put on the pajamas provided by the hotel and opened the door with bare feet. Li Zixu felt his toes sink deeply into the thick carpet on the ground.

"Who?"

"Is this Mr. Zicheng Li? I need to talk to you."

It could be heard that the other party shouted loudly in a sharp and authoritative tone, and he spoke English with a strong accent.

"Morgan wants to see you first!"

Li Zi was startled for a moment. Morgan wanted to see him? He finally came! But why would he send someone here at this time...

"Mr. Morgan wants to see you now!"

Now?

After pondering for a moment or two, he opened the door and saw a burly man with a gloomy face, a black hat and a black coat standing outside the door. When his gray eyes looked at him, the clock rang two o'clock in the morning. Listen to

Listening to the sound of the bell, Li Zicheng understood the reason.

"Please wait a moment, I need to put on some clothes!"

The moment he closed the door, he raised his lips, he was indeed a cunning and cunning guy!

Looking at the clock hand pointing to two o'clock in the morning, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel happy thinking that Morgan might have slept all afternoon for today's meeting. He didn't know that he was a night owl. The deeper the night, the more energetic he became.

Li Zicheng quickly got dressed and put on his tie. When he was putting on his coat, he saw the food on the cart beside the bed, and he laughed! "This will let you know what it means to steal the chicken but lose the rice."

…”

The closed door was pushed open. The moment the door was pushed open, Li Zicheng looked at the man sitting by the window, turning over the cards. He was of medium height, and although he looked fat from the side,

But it can be seen that he is as strong as an ox. Although he does not turn his head, he still reveals a domineering temperament, and now he is playing cards in silence, which makes his opponents feel scared.

Not to mention his temperament, just this name is enough to seduce everyone. When he walked into the extremely luxuriously decorated smoking room in the Morgan Library, Li Zicheng began to murmur in his heart what he knew. Morgan has shown that since he was a child,

He has extraordinary business talents, especially in speculation. It can be said that he made his fortune by speculating. When he reached middle age, Morgan bought railroads on a large scale, implemented his Morgan system, and controlled the world through the Morgan system.

At that time, a large number of industrial and mining enterprises in the United States concentrated 1/4 of the corporate capital in the United States under his command. Morgan not only used financial capital to control many important departments in the United States, but also used its huge capital to lend money to foreign countries. Not only Mexico was economically dependent on him, but also Mexico.

Countries like Argentina and even established empires like Britain and France had to ask for help from Morgan at critical moments. Morgan's power always exceeded people's imagination.

Since he founded U.S. Steel, Morgan has gained a second nickname on Wall Street - "Jupiter". In Roman mythology, Jupiter is the Lord of Heaven and the Lord of the Gods. This nickname vividly describes Morgan.

With his status in Wall Street, Morgan is now completely intoxicated with victory. Of course, this emotion will not be shown on his face at all.

But that's not all. According to the descriptions in the biographies I have read about Morgan, this guy is not only very cunning! He also has the characteristics of a pirate. What is a pirate? It is cruelty and greed, and Morgan also calls himself a pirate. The Morgan family

From his beginning until 100 years later, the yacht was named "Pirate*".

And now?

But I want to make trouble with this "world's creditor", the most successful banker in human history. I am really crazy! No! I'm not crazy, I'm just...

Listening to the footsteps, Morgan, who was playing cards, did not raise his eyes to look at the person who walked in. He knew who walked in. The reason why he invited him at two o'clock in the morning was that he even specially arranged for a woman to accompany him yesterday.

It was even confirmed from the woman that the man should be exhausted before seeing him.

And the purpose of greeting him now, even contemptuously, is to remind him that this is the United States, and this is Morgan's world.

Walking to a place only one meter away from Morgan, he glanced at the luxuriously decorated smoking room. Morgan also saw his ignorance in his eyes, but there was no annoyance in his heart. Instead, he quickly calmed down and thought about himself.

How to deal with the situation at hand.

He did this to remind himself! To remind himself who he was facing!

"Morgan not only has extremely high speculative skills, but also has an unimaginable level of psychological warfare. He is always good at using various seemingly meaningless methods to give his opponents psychological hints, thereby making them obey him!"
