Chapter 944 People are more damned
John Brown is a well-known legal lawyer in North America. His colleagues are also partners of the world-renowned law firm McKinsey Law Firm. They are one of the owners of this huge law firm.
John Brown has taken over countless CASEs in his life, but he has never encountered such a strange thing.
From what he has observed in the past two days, this Dragon Fund should be a private equity fund with a huge capital scale. This can be judged from the fifty-six luxury houses owned by the original owner of the fund, the man named Cole Smith.
But, John Brown, who is familiar with funds of North America and even the world, just can't remember which god this Dragon Fund is. In theory, the fund owner owns so many luxury houses, and the scale of this Dragon Fund must be at least 50 billion US dollars. However, John Brown can't think of its origin for such a large-scale fund. He also called to ask many of his previous customers, who were shareholders or even bosses of many large banks or companies in North America, but they have never heard of the name of this Dragon Fund.
However, John Brown got some useful things from Timothy Mellon, the fourth-generation core figure of the Mellon family.
However, this useful thing obtained from Timothy Mellon scared John Brown very much.
He still remembers the news that the other party said when he was on the phone with Timothy Mellon the night before yesterday.
"...Dragon Fund? Sorry, John, I've never heard of such a fund in North America. John, are you mistaken? Although I believe in your judgment, I will never have an impression of a fund with such a huge scale."
"...what? Do you think there is a KY investment fund?" The other side of the phone was silent for a long time. Just when John Brown thought the phone was disconnected, Timothy Mellon's voice recalled again, "John, is the boss of the KY investment fund you are talking about a blonde man named Cole Smith? Well, if I make a good judgment, Cole Smith should be in his seventies."
"Timothy, how do you know this? That's right, I came into contact with this Cole Smith yesterday..." John Brown told Timothy everything that happened yesterday, but the answer given there immediately shocked John Brown in a cold sweat.
"John, we are old friends for more than 20 years. You have also handled a lot of things for our Mellon family, so I hereby advise you not to tell others what you knew yesterday, nor do you ask others again. You just need to remember that Cole Smith is someone you must not mess with."
"Why? Timothy, why do I think you are so afraid of Cole Smith who is about to meet God?"
"Haha, this is not as simple as fear. To be honest, I am very afraid of that person. John, at your age, you should have experienced the stock market crash in 1987, but at that time you should not have any deep feelings about the stock market crash, right?"
"Yes, I was only 21 years old in 1987 and just graduated from college. I just vaguely remember that stock market crash caused many people to jump off the building, but I was still a pauper at that time, so that stock market crash had nothing to do with me."
"Then remember, in the stock market crash that broke out, an investment fund became a star in the stock market crash. In that stock market crash, the fund once claimed to invest $8 billion to repurchase the stocks of major companies for market support. According to our subsequent speculation, the funds used by this fund to support the market were very likely to be close to $20 billion! Because after that stock market crash, the fund successfully became the major shareholder of the 27 largest companies in the United States, including Mellon New York, our Mellon family.
Banks, including ****, Citibank, General Electric, General Motors, Boeing, ExxonMobil, and Wal-Mart. Later, the Boston Consortium had a dispute with the investment fund for some reason, so the soft boys of the Boston Consortium once took action against this Cole Smith, trying to use the air crash to kill Cole Smith. As a result, Cole Smith is fine. But a few months later, several core figures of the Boston Consortium died in a car accident inexplicably!”
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then Timothy Mellon's voice sounded again: "This investment fund is what you call KY investment fund! It was just after the stock market crash that the KY investment fund was completely silent, and there was almost no big noise for decades. Although about 8% of our Mellon New York Bank's shares were controlled by Pioneer Fund, the core personnel of our family knew that it was just a cover for KY investment fund. Until now, 8% of the shares of our family's banks are still controlled by this fund, and the remaining twenty-six companies that were acquired in large quantities during the stock market crash still had no changes in that part of the shares..."
This made John Brown burst out in his hair when he heard this, and he asked quickly: "Timothy, what do you mean is that this KY investment fund has always been there, but it's just a makeover?"
"It should be like this. I just judged it through the changes in shares, but I insisted on my judgment. And before my father and my uncle passed away, they also judged it like this. John, this KY investment fund was very terrifying. My father and my uncle were very afraid of this investment fund at that time, and would rather give up their face to deal with this Cole. Smith was not willing to offend him. The unknown deaths of those people in the Boston Consortium made the top families in the United States and
The consortium is very afraid of that person. So, John, I advise you as an old friend that since you have taken over their commission, you just need to do your job well and be OK. Don’t try to explore the true face of this Dragon Fund. You will definitely not be able to mess with these people. Also, remember what I said before, after you complete this commission, it is best to hide everything in the past few days in your stomach, and don’t reveal it to the outside world, otherwise…”
John Brown didn't know when the phone was hung up there. He just felt that all the hairs in his body were standing up, and a wave of indescribable fear made him restless.
He never expected that the commission he received would have such a big background.
If what Timothy Mellon said was true, then this Dragon Fund would be too terrifying. KY Investment Fund, which made the top consortiums and wealthy people in the United States feared, was actually just a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Dragon Fund, while Cole Smith, the man who was about to meet God, owned more than 85% of the Dragon Fund.
The most important thing is that the KY Investment Fund, which is feared by the core figures of the Mellon family, are also eleven other group companies such as Pacific Capital, Atlantic Capital, Acate Capital, etc. If those eleven group companies exist like KY Investment Fund, then how terrifying would the Dragon Fund, as the parent company, be?
When did such a terrifying consortium appear in this world?
That's right, John Brown almost subconsciously regarded this Dragon Fund as a huge consortium. Even if it was calculated simply by assets, a KY investment fund could be considered a consortium comparable to top consortiums such as Mellon Consortium and Morgan Consortium!
Others don’t know the value of more than 5% of the shares of the top 27 companies in the United States, but John Brown knows that if the KY Investment Fund has been secretly holding more than 5% of the shares of these 27 companies, then the capital of this KY Investment Fund is a terrifying astronomical figure.
The most important thing is that this is what KY Investment Fund has done more than 30 years ago. After more than 30 years of development, what kind of behemoth has this KY Investment Fund developed into!
"So, don't check this CASE in depth! Everything is for safety!" John Brown said in his heart.
As a barrister who has been dealing with top wealthy people all year round, John Brown knows how important these top wealthy people are to see their privacy. Almost no one among these top wealthy people is willing to expose their most private things to others, even madmen like Larry Ellison and President Twitter will not allow their privacy. Others know it.
And if anyone wants to explore the privacy of these top rich people, then there will be only one outcome - disappearing silently.
John Brown doesn't want to be included in the list of missing contacts like this. He lives a comfortable life now, earning millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year. He has a beautiful family and has a good reputation. Although he is not as good as those top rich people, he is also one of the top gangs in the United States.
This kind of beautiful life cannot be lost no matter what! Therefore, it is better to hide all the information about this Dragon Fund you have obtained before, and to complete the commission honestly, and then return to the United States with this generous reward honestly.
As a lawyer who has worked hard in the intrigue lawyer industry for more than 30 years, John Brown is even curious about how to kill a cat, so he immediately decided to wipe out all his curiosity!
But who is this Chinese man who can take over the Dragon Fund? How can he take over such a huge financial empire? This curiosity can be achieved!
