"Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City triumphantly used the billionaire Ken Griffin's $238 million apartment as a prop in a social media video hailing a state plan to tax multimillion-dollar second homes. But on Monday, as Mr. Mamdani met with two captains of finance, he seemed eager to project a more business-friendly demeanor."
"Mr. Mamdani met first with Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, who had in a recent letter to shareholders warned that New York's tax policies risked driving business out of New York City. No city or company or country has a divine right to success, Mr. Dimon wrote in April."
"Afterward, Mr. Mamdani met with David M. Solomon, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence. Joe Evangelisti, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, said that Mr. Dimon and the mayor had a constructive conversation around the importance of government and business working well together to help New Yorkers and to keep the city competitive. A spokesman for Goldman Sachs had no comment."
"In a statement, the mayor's press secretary, Joe Calvello, described the meeting with Mr. Dimon at the company's new Park Avenue headquarters as genial."

After the meeting, JPMorgan’s spokesman said the conversation was constructive about government and business working together to help New Yorkers and keep the city competitive. Goldman Sachs provided no comment, and the mayor’s press secretary described the Dimon meeting as genial.
