Keith Boone was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Osborne, you really misunderstood. How dare we take so much money from you? The money is still yours. We borrowed it simply to make some achievements and offset the losses."

At that moment, Keith Boone's eyes changed and he said:

"Of course, this is also the wish of our partners and subordinates who have helped you, Master Osborne, to stop the rumors. After all, if we go bankrupt, they will probably be laid off by Morgan Stanley and lose their decent jobs. How can they pay their student loans, change their mortgages, support their wives and children, and pay for insurance?"

To be honest, Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth are also old folks on Wall Street. How could they not know the inherent ideas of the big capitalists? If they can't solve the problem, the same thing will happen to the people who raised the problem. So, it is not impossible that they will be sent to fly on a dirt plane if they come here to threaten Bai Ye.

But how do you say something?

As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. High risk comes with high rewards.

That’s $50 billion!

What's wrong with taking some risks?

As long as they get this sum of money, they will be very happy. They will be able to rise from being a wage earner to being rich and luxurious for generations, enjoying endless benefits.

Take a chance and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle; gamble and a motorcycle becomes a Land Rover!

If they were afraid of everything, they would not have come to work on Wall Street in the first place, but would have gone home to farm. Doing that in America is risk-free and guarantees a return regardless of drought or flood, but it just doesn't make much money.

Of course, there are risks, but they can be minimized. So before they came, they made a lot of preparations. As long as they can't leave the building, their subsequent arrangements will take effect.

"Hahaha, you two are really brave. I kind of like you!" Bai Ye laughed suddenly, shocking Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth. "50 billion US dollars, um, 50 billion US dollars... Galaxy Capital's short positions have not been closed yet. It's just an empty shell now. We can't give you that much money. Can you give us two days to close the positions and then give you the money?"

"Of course!" Keith Boone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Of course we know that Galaxy Capital has not closed its positions. A sum of $50 billion is not easy to handle. And Master Osborne, I think you need to think about it carefully. Is two days enough? We are not in a hurry."

"Just two or three days. Anyway, I will definitely give you an answer, so don't worry." Bai Ye pinched out the remaining cigarette butt with his fingers and said lightly.

Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth looked at Bai Ye's fingers and his calm face, and suddenly swallowed their saliva together. This Master Osborn not only looks unruly, but also a little crazy. Isn't he afraid of burning his fingers?

The two of us came here to blackmail this young master today...isn't that a bit unwise?

Everyone is afraid of crazy people. As a general rule, it is the most cost-effective option for Bai Ye to accept their blackmail. What if Bai Ye kills them both first and then continues to fight against Roxxon's magic? It is not impossible, right?

After Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth left, Jordan locked the door of the conference room and said anxiously:

"Master, what should we do? Even if we accept their blackmail this time and temporarily solve the problem, what if they come to blackmail us again? Should we continue to give in then?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Ye said calmly, "Before this, I have made it very clear to you. Just manage your company well. Leave all the things outside the company to me! Morgan Stanley is nothing. We can blow up Roxon, but we can't blow up Morgan Stanley?"

Bai Ye was not afraid at all that Roxxon would know that he was the one who did it, because at worst... he would go to all of Roxxon's bases around the world and get all of Roxxon's family on the road in good order.

But Morgan Stanley actually dared to use this to threaten him, which made Bai Ye very unhappy.

In America, Bai Ye is the only one who threatens others. When has anyone ever threatened him?

"Uh……"

Jordan had nothing to say. He should say, "Are you worthy of being the young master?"

Bombing Morgan Stanley... isn't a bad idea actually.

……

Morgan Stanley's headquarters is located at 1585 West Broadway, Morgan Stanley Building, in Midtown Manhattan, New York, USA. In December 1991, the real estate developer 12 Broadway Partnership, controlled by Solomon, declared bankruptcy, resulting in the building's unfinished construction and delayed lease. In August 1585, Morgan Stanley bought the building for $1993 million and moved in two years later.

As the global headquarters of Morgan Stanley, the building is 741 feet high and has 56 floors. It is a modern building designed by SOM, which includes multiple functional areas such as office space, restaurants, and conference halls.

As a leading global financial services company, the choice of its headquarters is very important to Morgan Stanley. Its headquarters has obvious geographical advantages. It is not only located in the Manhattan financial district, but also has convenient transportation, providing the company with strong support and development space.

"how is the situation?"

When Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth returned to the Morgan Stanley headquarters, waiting for them was a man in his seventies, a director of Morgan Stanley named Gyanendra Morgan.

Although the Morgan family is no longer the actual controller of Morgan Stanley and other companies, the Morgan family still enjoys the rights and interests of the family trust fund...

Just like Gyanendra Morgan, who is not a direct descendant of the Morgan family but is considered a branch, he can easily become a director of Morgan Stanley.

He said solemnly, "That little fellow from the Osborne family didn't choose to fight to the death, right?"

"No, the young master just asked us for two or three days to think about it. From the tone of his words, it seems very likely that he would compromise."

Keith Boone and Scotty Ruth replied respectfully.

This guy is their backer in Morgan Stanley. In fact, the main reason for using leverage to do the things of the Dostark Group is because of this big guy... Otherwise, if it were just the two of them, they would just be playing it safe and wouldn't have caused such a big incident as this.

Such a big thing as blackmailing Bai Ye was naturally instructed by Gyanendra Morgan. 50 billion US dollars, this figure is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is really difficult for the two of them to swallow so much money. However, with the addition of this sensible person, the situation is naturally different.

After the deal is done, the big boss will definitely get the lion's share, and as for the two of them, even if they can only get a small share, it will still be a very considerable sum, enough for them to make money for several lifetimes.

"Don't let your guard down until the dust settles." Janendra Morgan said, "Have someone keep an eye on him. I want to know what he has done in the past two or three days. Don't let the fish on the chopping board disappear without a trace."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Keith Boone nodded and said:

"But Mr. Morgan, the protection system around that young master is also very thorough. It is impossible for our people to monitor him all the time."

"We have to try our best to watch it. $50 billion is enough money for a small country to fight a war," said Gyanendra Morgan.

"Yes."

Gyanendra Morgan sighed. He was really unlucky. Who would have thought that Tony Stark, that bastard, would be kidnapped in Afghanistan?

Not only did he short the Stark Group, he also shorted other military-industrial enterprises... and now he is in a mess.

Fortunately, a great nemesis appeared at this time and was able to bear the loss for him.

As for whether Roxxon's factory was really blown up by the Osborn family, and whether Tony Stark was kidnapped by people sent by the Osborn family, he was too lazy to think about these things. He should just deal with his own affairs first.

"Mr. Morgan," Scotty Russ said, "Even if that young master is willing to hand over the $50 billion, will we really destroy everything we have collected?"

"Oh?" Janandra Morgan looked at Scotty Ruth and raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Hey!" Scotty Russ smiled maliciously and said, "In addition to this short-selling of the Stark Group, that young master's Galaxy Capital has earned $50 billion, and Galaxy Capital's own funds are also $50 billion... During this period, I also investigated the young master Osborn. He is really not simple. In addition to Galaxy Capital's own assets of $100 billion, the Sun Bank he established also has assets of $30 billion. The valuation given by Sequoia Capital to a Tianmei game studio has reached $4.8 million. There is also a chat software that has also received a valuation of $3.6 million. There is even a biological laboratory that Roxxon once wanted to acquire for $15 billion, but the deal was not reached. In addition, there are some floating funds... scattered here and there, this once well-known waste young master in New York is now worth nearly $200 billion without realizing it. He has become a real treasure pot."

Gyanendra Morgan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If he has no background, we can still find an opportunity to divide up his wealth, but he is a member of the Osborn family. If we really eat him alive, Norman Osborn will not let it go. Let's do the $50 billion deal first, and the rest... let's see if there is a chance to get the other $50 billion in cash flow."

"That's a pity." Scotty Russ said, "But I think if he really handed over the $50 billion in assets, then it's very likely that he would hand over another $50 billion in cash. After all... he has already invested $50 billion in sunk costs. If he doesn't want Osborn and Roxxon to go to war, which would seriously threaten the safety of himself and his family, he would have to spend money to avoid disaster. We only took half of his net worth, and the remaining money is enough for him to live a carefree life. I don't think he should fight to the death with us."

Gyanendra Morgan was noncommittal: "Let's get the $50 billion first."

Keith Boone frowned. He personally felt that the young master should not be pushed too far. Have you two forgotten that it is very likely that someone blew up Roxon's factory? If it was really him who did it, it would be a blessing to be able to blackmail him once. How dare you blackmail him again and again? You can't be so arrogant just because you see too much money and put money before your life, right?

But the matter was obviously not decided by him, but by Gyanendra Morgan. If this backer really wanted to squeeze the blood out of that young master, he could only obey orders. In fact, those who dare to work on Wall Street may not have high IQs, but they are definitely very courageous. They value money over their lives...just basic operation!

……

Tianmei Studio.

Bai Ye used his facial recognition to arrive at Wendy's office smoothly.

Wendy was working. She looked up and saw Bai Ye. She blinked and asked:

"How did you come?"

"Wendy!"

Bai Ye felt heavy-hearted:

"Someone bullied me."

"Who is this? How dare you bully me?" Wendy asked in surprise, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Morgan."

Wendy: "..."

"That's no wonder..."

How many people in the world are there that Morgan dares not bully?

Although the Osborne family is wealthy and has long been a member of the old money, it still seems to be far behind the Morgans.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Wendy hugged Bai Ye and comforted him, "If they bully us, we just don't play with them in the future."

"Oh." Bai Ye nodded gently, and then said: "Wendy, you don't know, I'm so angry right now!"

Wendy: "..."

Well, she had no choice but to play the role of a fire extinguisher and help Bai Ye.

Kneeled down under Bai Ye's jeans.

night.

After nightfall, Broadway is brightly lit, crowded with people, and bustling with activity. The shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are lit up, creating a romantic and charming atmosphere.

Pedestrians wearing fashionable clothes, carrying shopping bags, gathered together, chatting and laughing as they walked through the streets. Some of them were young people who came to shop, some were couples who came to enjoy delicious food, and some were tourists who came to sightsee.

The restaurants and shops on both sides of the street are warmly welcoming customers and providing a variety of food and goods. Some restaurants offer traditional American hamburgers and fried chicken, some shops sell fashionable clothes and shoes, and some shops specialize in selling a variety of delicious snacks and desserts.

On this lively night, the music and dance on Broadway became even more lively. Street artists performed on the streets, attracting many people's attention and applause. Some artists played guitars, some danced, and some sang moving songs.

The lively scene on Broadway attracts many young people and tourists who enjoy the unique charm of this city.

"How is this ice cream? Is it delicious?"

Wendy took a bite of her ice cream and brought it to Bai Ye, insisting that Bai Ye have a taste as well. She smiled and asked, and after Bai Ye nodded, she said:

"I'll tell you, it's really delicious!"

After Wendy acted like a fire extinguisher, it was almost dark, so Bai Ye pulled Wendy out to go shopping and eat on Broadway together.

In addition to burgers, fried chicken, pizza, French fries, kebabs, fried shrimps and other foods, there are also many snack stalls selling ice cream and drinks in various flavors, such as strawberry, chocolate, matcha, etc.

These ice creams and drinks have a delicate texture and rich flavor and taste pretty good.

"When you are in a bad mood, eat some sweets. The quick energy supply will stimulate the brain to produce dopamine, which will make you happy."

Wendy said.

"Thank you for your help, I feel much better now."

Bai Ye kissed Wendy on the face and smiled.

"Oops, the ice cream in your mouth is all over my face."

Wendy pursed her lips and glared at Bai Ye.

"Just wipe it off and it will be fine. You washed your face for so long before you came, and your skin was almost rubbed off. What are you afraid of?" Bai Ye said with a smile.

Wendy: "..."

"Humph!"

She snorted softly, took out a tissue from her bag and was about to wipe her face, otherwise it would be icy and sticky and very uncomfortable.

"Okay, it's just a small matter, why use tissues? What a waste!"

Bai Ye used his tongue to lick the ice cream off Wendy's face.

"Hey~Are you disgusting? You drooled all over my face."

"Tsk, just because I drooled all over your face, you think I'm disgusting? Then why didn't you tell me about what happened before..."

Bai Ye and Wendy were playing and fighting like a pair of bickering lovers, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the Morgan Stanley building.

"Wendy, how about I give you a gift?"

"what gift?"

Bai Ye also performed a little magic trick. He took out a small gift box from behind Wendy's head and placed it in front of Wendy. He smiled gently and said:

"open to take a look?"

Wendy looked at the size of the box and wondered, is it a ring? Or earrings?

She was actually a little looking forward to it.

at the same time.

On the Morgan Stanley building.

Keith Boone pushed open the door of a conference room and saw Janendra Morgan already sitting in the main seat. He hurried forward and asked:

"Mr. Morgan, is there any emergency that has brought you here?"

Gyanendra Morgan looked at Keith Boone blankly:

"Didn't you send me a message saying that you had something urgent to discuss with me?"

"what?"

Keith Boone was stunned:

"Didn't you ask me to come here to discuss something, Mr. Morgan?"
