Chapter 254 Interaction with Beautiful Women
Chapter 254 Interaction with Beautiful Women

After hearing this explanation, John nodded slightly and asked, "As interns, have any of you three ever traded on your own?" By asking about their professional knowledge, John could tell their identities. Since they weren't professionals, they naturally couldn't use professional financial terminology, which would reveal some flaws. However, such probing was unlikely to end. Since these three beauties dared to appear here, they must have considerable abilities. If they weren't even prepared for this, Morgan's abilities would be too disappointing.

“I have, but I don’t know about the other two, since they haven’t graduated yet. However, my gains weren’t great, which is completely different from what I originally imagined.” Julia responded to John’s question without hesitation, and then began to ask John some more questions. Although she didn’t know how strong John’s financial abilities were, defeating Lehman Brothers was definitely not something an ordinary crocodile could do. If she could get his guidance, it would definitely be of great help to her. If she could understand even a little bit of it, she would have a good future.

After Julia asked her questions, Grace and Sophia also started asking John some financial questions, proving they were indeed beauties with both intelligence and looks. However, Julia seemed to know more than Grace and Sophia, suggesting she had experience in the financial industry. The more extraordinary she appeared, the more John believed she had a hidden identity, one that Morgan might know all too well.

For someone like Morgan, it's impossible that he wouldn't notice the unusual qualities in this beautiful woman. The fact that Morgan could ignore her clearly indicates that this is only the power that is out in the open. Such a beautiful woman might not arouse Morgan's suspicion.

John answered the three women's questions one by one, offering his insights. These were the trading rules of the Wall Street party, and no one could violate them. It is precisely because of these rules that Wall Street parties are never short of the second type of beautiful women. Regardless of their background, many are willing to participate like moths to a flame. For them, this is the best opportunity; receiving guidance from these financial magnates will greatly benefit them, allowing them to go further in the industry and save more time.

For this kind of gala, for these second-type beauties, it's a very fair trade. They give everything in exchange for guidance from seniors, from those big shots, so they can move faster and more steadily in this industry. Few people can resist the temptation of such an opportunity.

It is precisely because of such fair trading rules that a steady stream of beautiful women participate in Wall Street, allowing those big players to enjoy such extravagant pleasures. This is something that the first type of beauty cannot provide; these are beauties who possess both intelligence and beauty, bringing them joy both physically and mentally.

Although John didn't outwardly invest much capital in the financial industry, he secretly had a considerable amount of funds invested, just unknown to those on Wall Street. The only publicly known investment was Hurricane Investment. Even so, no one would underestimate the power of this little fox, John. The fate of Lehman Brothers was already in sight, and no one wanted to follow in their footsteps.

Despite John's younger age compared to these three beauties, they all knew how formidable this young man's achievements were. He had defeated Lehman Brothers head-on, forcing them to pay $400 million to settle everything. This showed just how ruthless this crocodile was. Age didn't matter; ability was what they valued.

Although Julia's operations were not problematic, her vision was flawed. She kept her eyes fixed on Wall Street, perhaps due to her hidden identity. As a result, she unknowingly devoted all her energy to observing Wall Street and focusing solely on its changes.

"Julia, you have no problems with your operations, but don't keep your eyes glued to Wall Street. This will become an obstacle to your future development. Wall Street information is not unimportant, but it is not too important either. Even the big fish can hardly shake the entire financial market. Finance refers to fiscal and economic matters. You can't just focus on Wall Street. Many times, market changes are related to the overall environment!"

Julia, Grace, and Sophia all understood the overall environment, but understanding alone was one thing; putting it into practice depended on their own abilities. Although Julia's background was unusual, John naturally wanted to offer her some guidance out of consideration for her previous efforts. Moreover, even with her questionable status, her abilities were undeniable, and John had high hopes for her. With her intelligence, she might soon rise to prominence on Wall Street, given the powerful support she had behind her, which would allow her to go further. After guiding Julia for over ten minutes, a hint of understanding appeared on Julia's face; she seemed to have grasped the concepts and understood some things. The other two women, however, didn't show such insight, suggesting a lack of ability, not only in terms of experience in the financial industry but also in their own insufficient knowledge. Wall Street was no easy path; many elites had failed there. Without sufficient wisdom and ability, it was difficult to achieve anything significant.

Now these three beauties have become even more charming and attractive, each more beautiful than a flower. They seem to be very satisfied with John's guidance, after all, this guidance can help them go further and have a greater future in the financial industry!
While interacting with the three women, they didn't just offer financial industry information; they also made probing questions, clearly indicating they all had a mission. Although Julia stated that Grace and Sophia were both interns at JP Morgan, their actions suggested otherwise. Grace might be affiliated with Morgan, but Julia and Sophia weren't. They were unaware of many of Julia's transactions with Morgan, which strongly suggested their identities were questionable.

John didn't care about this issue, because even if he investigated, it would be useless. Morgan wouldn't admit it, and it wouldn't make any difference; it was just a fair transaction. John also simply smiled and dismissed the three women's probing. Such things were all too common on Wall Street. Not only on Wall Street, but even the Japanese knew how to use honey traps, so John didn't care about this situation or who these women were behind. Worrying too much about it would only make things more complicated.

Julia acted the most abnormally because she asked too many questions, not only about financial matters, but also about Global Online, which she had previously discussed with Morgan. It seemed that she was intentionally trying to understand Global Online's financing issues, but in fact, she was trying to understand Global Online's development direction and John's development direction in semiconductor communications. This made her identity even more obvious. At this moment, it seemed that this beautiful woman no longer wanted to hide anything, which surprised John.

After chatting with the beautiful women, time had almost passed. John and the three women dressed and returned outside. The situation outside remained the same. After looking around, John didn't see the old men. It seemed they had all gone back to make arrangements. As for what choice Morgan would make, or whether he would have a conversation with these old men, that wasn't John's concern.

The opportunity was there, and whether Morgan said it or not, these old guys would know. Besides, John had never intended to keep it a secret any longer. Now that he had chosen to fund Dreamworld and Nvidia, John wanted to showcase their full potential and let everyone know their market value. If these old guys knew nothing, how could John extract more profit from them?

Only when these old guys understand more, know more secrets, and truly understand the benefits brought by Global Online, and the benefits brought to Dream World and Nvidia, will they be able to gain more benefits in the next round of financing.

John doesn't see now as an opportunity for Global Online to expand aggressively. Current computer technology isn't powerful enough. Even though Dream World has developed its own operating system and holds the patent, personal computers can't support its operating system software; it can only run on workstations and minicomputers. This is Global Online's biggest obstacle to development: insufficient hardware. No matter how good your ideas are, you can't realize them. Therefore, while Global Online has value, its value isn't as great as one might imagine.

John understood this, and Morgan, after a moment's thought, also understood the problem. Moreover, John had made it clear from the beginning: if Global Online was valuable enough, why would John continue to hold onto it? After all, it was no ordinary thing and shouldn't be controlled by an individual!

John dared to continue holding onto Global Online because he understood its value was currently limited. Even if he offered a good explanation, it was questionable whether Morgan would believe it, and the three beautiful women beside him might not agree, nor would the people behind them. After all, there was no way to prove anything!
