Wall Street bigwigs!

The next day, Green received a phone call from Mary Shapiro.

Yesterday, after Mary discussed the matter with her husband, Paul Shapiro gently embraced her and whispered something in her ear.

You have to taste the pudding to know if it's good or bad!

"Welcome, Mary!" Green said, suppressing his excitement over the phone.

"I hope I made the right choice, boss..." Mary's voice sounded tired.

When Green heard the word "boss," his smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

"Trust in the process, and wait for the result, Mary!" Green whispered to comfort her.

"Finish your work at NASD as soon as possible; the company needs you now."

"Okay, I understand the problem. Have Attorney Morris come to me."

Mary Shapiro was aware of the problems R&F was facing, so she sided with the new job after making her decision.

"Okay, I'll inform Maurice later, and you two can meet and talk."

After hanging up the phone, Green stood quietly in front of the apartment window, enjoying the feeling of looking down at the world from a high vantage point.

Green was making various assessments in his mind, realizing that both the R&F team and he personally had reached a very critical crossroads.

He made his first fortune by capitalizing on the Black Monday black swan event, and he still had countless riches in his mind.

If Green chooses to live a carefree life as an ordinary rich man, that's fine; he can choose to retire with his wealth right now.

In the 1980s, tens of millions of dollars would be a considerable fortune in any country. You could buy a small island, build a ranch, raise a few dogs, and go hunting in your spare time.

He could then use the remaining money to buy a few stocks he remembered and keep them so he would never lack money in his life.

However, at the very moment he unhesitatingly chose Morris to help him register Ruifeng and opted for the tax plan offered by Bonn, Green's unwilling heart had already made its choice.

If you ask someone who knows part of the historical context to choose to live a peaceful life, perhaps some people would actually choose that path, but Green chose an unknown one.

Now that Green has made his choice, another fork in the road has appeared before him.

Mary Shapiro is important to the company, and she is important to him as well.

She can resolve compliance issues at the corporate regulatory level.

Similarly, as long as Ruifeng can retain Mary, the connections she brings will enable Ruifeng and Green to break through that invisible ceiling.

Before meeting Mary, if faced with the choice between a donkey and an elephant, Green would have been unable to make a decision in the short term.

However, there's always a "but," and Mary directly presented the Joseph Joe path to Green.

Do we need to choose from the rest?

In his past life, Green actually read Joe's autobiography (most of it is true).

"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will and strengthens their body." This ancient saying is perfectly embodied in Qiao.

He is the youngest living senator (one of the top five in history), he has a bright future, and he has a happy family.

But life is like a die thrown by God; no one knows which side it will land on.

Just when he was at the height of his fame, God played a cruel joke on him. A car accident almost drove Joe to suicide, and he lost his beloved wife and his adorable daughter.

But this was not the end. Joe's misfortune continued. A few years later, Joe lost his beloved eldest son (who died of brain cancer), who was Joe's only hope in life.

Few people could withstand such a series of blows.

Politically, Joe is a politician with firm beliefs and maturity. He is a centrist representative within the Democratic Party and is very popular.

Moreover, as the current chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (87-95), Joe has direct influence over the SEC and NASD.

More importantly, Joe knows how to make choices and isn't greedy; if Ryze and Green get close, they won't be completely taken advantage of.

The newly established Ruifeng is like a newborn baby, lacking only the protection of the high-level relationships between the two institutions to help it grow healthily.

The reason why Morris couldn't get the compliance framework for R&F Fund and R&F Securities sorted out was that after Black Monday, the SEC strengthened its scrutiny of newly established financial institutions.

If they can get Joe to help influence the SEC through Paul, who is behind Mary, and send a compliance signal through the Senate, then the current obstacles will no longer be a problem.

Green called Morris.

"Listen, Morris, now put down what you're doing and buy the next available plane ticket to Washington, D.C."

Morris was in his office discussing changes to the compliance structure with his assistants when he was startled to receive a call from Green.

"What happened?"

"I've found a chief compliance officer for R&F. She's currently in Washington. Once you've taken your team there, contact her. She should take the lead on compliance audit issues, and your team should do everything in its power to assist her."

After Green finished speaking, Morris was even more confused. Chief Compliance Officer?

After a brief silence of two or three seconds, Morris quickly said, "No problem, my team will assist. May I ask who this Chief Compliance Officer is?"

It wasn't that he was questioning Green as the employer, but rather that the compliance review process was extremely important.

The new regulatory policies caught everyone off guard. He used all the connections he could find, and Green provided a lot of auxiliary funds, but the results were impressive.

So when Green said that the other party should take the lead and he should play a supporting role, Morris felt relieved instead of disappointed.

Fortunately, Green's tone suggested that he trusted the chief compliance officer.

"Don't worry, Mr. Morris. The chief compliance officer is Mary Shapiro, who currently works for NASD. She was the one who drafted the regulatory document that the SEC released last month."

After Green finished speaking, Morris's breathing became somewhat heavy on the other end of the phone.

Morris felt like he'd been screwed over. It turned out that the problem he'd been working on for so long was actually caused by Ruifeng's new Chief Compliance Officer.

"Yes, sir, I'll be right there," Morris said firmly.

"Okay, write down the phone number: (202)728-800*..." (Don't call it, the number really belongs to the NASD Washington office.)

After hanging up the phone, Green contacted Mrs. Vera, the financial head of R&F, in Born.

"Boss?" Vera's intelligent voice rang out on the phone.

"Morris has already completed the registration of the offshore fund in the Virgin Islands and New Century Investment. You can start implementing the plan at any time. If there are any problems later, I will have Morris notify you immediately," Green said calmly.

Morris's abilities are still commendable; at least in his design of corporate and equity structures, he already showed the influence of the structures of large companies in later generations.

"Okay, no problem. I'll keep following up. Is there anything else?" Vera, as a strict CAP, was very professional in her attitude towards her boss.

"You're busy..." Green hung up the phone silently.
