Chapter 886 The First Meeting of the Morgan Family
From the Irvine Mid-Levels villa to the Los Angeles Airport, and then taking a special flight directly to New York, Panis has arranged the entire process properly.
This not only reflects the importance Panis attaches to this meeting, but also highlights the extraordinary heritage of the Morgan family.
After all, it is a giant family with assets exceeding one trillion U.S. dollars. The consortium it controls is among the top three in size even if we look at the entire world.
But now Wu Tao's entire net worth is simply not enough in front of this behemoth.
The privately customized Boeing 737 luxury plane originally had enough space to accommodate hundreds of passengers, but it was divided into study rooms, reception rooms, bedrooms, and even a small gym and bathroom.
Not only that, every decoration and equipment is from top brands.
Its level of luxury definitely exceeded Wu Tao's imagination.
Panis changed from her usual low-key attitude and changed into a gorgeous and extraordinarily sexy long dress. The deep V chest was studded with sparkling diamonds on both sides, making her extremely beautiful.
Wu Tao, who was sitting in a Chivas Regal chair and taking a nap with his eyes closed, opened his eyes after hearing the sound and naturally praised, "You are very beautiful."
Panis held two goblets in one hand and shook a strange-shaped decanter in the other: "Have a drink?"
Wu Tao glanced at the sky outside the window. He had nothing else to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
The clear red wine is slowly poured into the goblet, and gradually settles from bright red to deep red, which is a sign that the wine has been fully sobered up.
Bling!
The two glasses clinked together, and Wu Tao took a sip and found that the red wine was not as bad as he thought. He simply raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
Panis, who was about to speak, laughed in surprise and had no choice but to give him another glass. Then he took the opportunity to speak: "Would you like to hear the weight and impression of Figo and I in the eyes of the family elders first?"
Wu Tao tilted the goblet left and right, indicating that there was no need to say: "Since I am here, I must firmly ally with you. As for your strength and trump cards, I don't need to know."
"You have the right to regret it, at least until we get to Hampton Court."
"Sorry, that's not my style!"
In fact, no need for Panis to say anything, Wu Tao also guessed that she had no advantage in front of Figo. In this case, there is no need to find out how weak Panis's influence is.
However, this attitude was particularly touching in Panis's eyes.
It's not like Panis has never sought allies before, but they were often scared away by her background. Even if some intentions are revealed occasionally, the attitude of thinking about things over and over again is chilling.
In contrast, Wu Tao's support for her was absolutely enthusiastic and unreserved.
As a result, Panis couldn't help but get a little closer, even if his chest was a little wet due to this posture, he didn't care.
"OK, so do you want to know some information about the Morgan family and the Morgan consortium?"
Wu Tao still shook his head.
This made Panis surprised, "Why?"
Wu Tao shrugged and said helplessly: "Those who don't know are not afraid. I'm worried that I know too much, but I don't have the calm mentality now. Moreover, I am better at improvising on the spot."
Panis smiled, so sincere and frank.
"No wonder Molly wants to sleep with you so much. Now even I want to sleep with you." When saying this, Panis subconsciously folded her legs, and her slender legs were exposed from the seam of the high-slit skirt, which was particularly sultry. .
Wu Tao swung the wine glass and said, "You didn't take any medicine here, did you?"
"Huh?" Panis' charm was shattered by this question in a second, "Oh my God, how could that be? You are my friend!"
Wu Tao took a deep breath and nodded seriously: "Then I'll be relieved."
Wu Tao was not woken up until the first light of dawn on the east coast appeared outside the porthole.
Song Zhuanggong stood beside the bed, "Boss, the plane will land in half an hour."
It was good that Panis decisively maintained a personal distance from him after his overtures were rejected.
Wu Tao rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
More than ten minutes later, he appeared in the reception room, sat on a chair, and fastened his seat belt.
Panis turned his face sideways, with a hint of sleepiness in his eyes, "Hey, did you sleep well?"
"great."
When it was still dark and the grass beside the road was still wet with the morning sun, a Rolls-Royce convoy slowly drove into Hampton Manor.
Summer on the east coast is already extremely hot, but within the confines of this manor, it is exceptionally cool.
Looking at the green space and manor environment outside the window, Wu Tao secretly sighed.
He came back to the door. As a member of the Morgan family, it was definitely impossible to meet him on such an important occasion.
In other words, this luxurious manor is just one of the lighter ones among the many mansions and estates of the Morgan family.
The Rolls-Royce motorcade stopped at the fountain square at the entrance of the manor. Wu Tao stepped out of the car and took the hand to help the dressed-up Panis out.
This is not pretentious or anything like that, but the basic gentlemanly etiquette of the upper class.
After all, do as the Romans do.
The huge fountain is surrounded by a circle of lush flowers and plants. After getting off the car, you have to go around the perimeter of the garden to reach the entrance of the villa.
Breathing the air scented with flowers and plants, Wu Tao suddenly felt relaxed and happy. When he looked at this quaint manor villa, he felt less depressed.
Holding Panis on his arm, he walked gracefully around the perimeter of the flower garden towards the door.
When I was about to walk around the main entrance of the villa, I noticed a flower farmer, holding a pair of scissors and cutting back and forth on the flowers and plants.
While cutting, he muttered something.
Wu Tao didn't understand, so he didn't care. In fact, no one cares, he is just a flower farmer.
Just when the two were about to pass each other, the flower farmer suddenly staggered and fell towards Wu Tao.
Wu Tao subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him, which stopped the opponent from falling.
Suddenly, I realized that this flower farmer turned out to be an old man with gray hair.
But there was a hint of cunning in his cloudy eyes.
Strangely, Wu Tao helped the old flower farmer and left immediately. On the way, I recalled the old man's look just now, and I just suspected that I had seen it wrong.
It wasn't until he met a blond man in a silver-gray suit at the door of the villa that he stopped.
"Hey, Panis, is this the Huaxia Wu?" the other party said in a condescending tone.
Without waiting for Panis' introduction, Wu Tao stretched out his hand and said warmly and friendly: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Figo."
Panis was actually angry with Figo. He was blocking the door like this, which was obviously a bad sign. In the end, Wu Tao unexpectedly took the initiative to shake hands with the other party. Isn't this trying to please his own identity?
So Panis became even more angry.
However, Figo had no intention of shaking hands and said triumphantly: "It seems you have heard of me?"
"Yes." Wu Tao took back his hands, folded them in front of him, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "I heard that you lost 10 million US dollars because of the bet on NetEase's stock price. To put it this way, I'm really sorry, Figo gentlemen."
This is not a glorious thing. Figo's proud expression suddenly froze on his face, and his face turned pale with anger, but he was speechless...
