"Mr. Block, hello, I am George Whitney, a partner of Morgan!"
Standing in front of Donnie, George Whitney wore a bespoke suit, with a golden pocket watch hanging on his chest, his silver-gray hair combed meticulously; a certain natural pride emanated from him, the pride of being a Morgan partner.
In fact, George Whitney had good reason to be proud—he was not very old, under 30, which made him decidedly young among the partners at Morgan.
In the whole of New York, there were only 14 partners at Morgan, each managing a portfolio of no less than 300 million US Dollars.
That was just one point of pride for George Whitney; in addition, his father was a banker in Boston, and his brother Richard Whitney was working at the NYSE and, barring any surprises, would take over as the President of the NYSE in 1929 due to his standout performance during the American financial crisis.
Er, he also later became the first President of the NYSE to be convicted.
