American TV series

In fact, Sean doesn't expect this bill to make him much more money. Firstly, it is impossible for all the fees collected to go to Sean. The government will definitely get a share of the pie. Secondly, this will happen soon.

I won't charge a high price either.

After all, they are taking money from the wealthy gentry.

The main thing that Sean likes is free. Of course, he doesn't mind if he can earn a little more.

After getting this done, there are still some troubles ahead.

When Sean returned to Newark, he contacted his cheap brother Hayden.

When we arrived at the Peace Hotel by car, Hayden had actually stayed at the Peace Hotel for half a month. This was something Sean didn't expect.

Sure enough, LSP is the ultimate driving force for the progress of human society.

When he saw Hayden, Sean was startled and took him away without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Hayden struggled a few times with a confused look on his face.

"I said, have you looked in the mirror recently? You're going to be fucked dry!" Sean said with a dark face, pointing at Hayden's thick dark circles.

"Really? I don't feel it!" Hayden, who was forced into the car by Sean, raised his hand and touched his face and said, "I just feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep recently."

"But just smoke a few leaves and it will be fine!"

Sean rolled his eyes, "Help me up, I can still fuck you, right?"

Hayden pushed Sean with his shoulder and said with a chuckle: "Don't say that, actually, you don't have to get up, just lie in bed and enjoy it."

"Don't tell me, you have so many beauties here with so many tricks." Hayden clicked his tongue.

In one sentence, Sean didn't know what to say.

I take it as a compliment!

However, there are indeed many varieties.

These are the essences collected by a reborn person who wishes to remain anonymous for decades.

Cultural essence!

For example, the "Spiral Lotus Sitting" move is based on the ordinary lotus and is combined with high-altitude hanging rings to perform rotating exercises.

sit.

Wow!!

Of course, there are also ones suitable for female customers.

After all, Sean is a staunch egalitarian, so how could he not consider the feelings of female customers?

Ahem, Sean didn't send Hayden directly to recuperate, but instead pulled him to talk about his own affairs.

"You want to buy technology patents from the family?" Hayden blinked, and he suddenly sobered up. "What kind of technology patents?"

"It's not an important patent, it's part of the patent for electric furnace steelmaking. I want to build a steelmaking plant that uses electric furnaces to refine scrap steel," Sean said.

"Is that so? Why don't you contact him yourself? The family has shares in many steel plants, and this is not a particularly advanced technology." Hayden's body slumped again after he had just sat upright.

"I have almost no contact with the family. I don't even know who to f**k with, damn it." Sean cursed.

Of course, this is not a matter of the Rockefeller family. It is Sean himself who has never visited the family elders. He has not even visited the family foundation even once.

Ha, Hayden laughed, but he could also understand that Sean's achievements today were all his own...

He, tui!

It was shot with one shot!

Sean is quite arrogant at heart, and he is still an illegitimate son of the family, so it is normal for him to be a little awkward.

The family has been developing for hundreds of years, and this is not the first time this has happened.

Of course, for someone as awesome as Sean, he is really the first one.

"Tomorrow, I'll contact you, that's it, haha." Hayden opened his mouth and let out a big sigh of relief, and said without saying a word: "Find me a room, I have to take a nap, and suddenly I feel so sleepy."

"Fake." Sean cursed, waved his hand and asked the servant to take Hayden to the guest room upstairs.

The more they get to know each other and the more familiar they are, the more Sean discovers that these second- and third-generation super people who he once regarded as superior are all so lazy in reality.

It wasn't until noon the next day, after a full day's sleep, that Hayden got up and went downstairs.

Without the little goblin around, people feel a lot more energetic.

It's just that I don't have time to get down to business today...

After eating a tonic that Sean asked the chef to make, Hayden lay lazily on the lounge chair next to the swimming pool, sipping juice and telling Sean some family gossip secrets.

Sean thought that big foreign families with a long history had very advanced methods in setting up family funds and so on, so there would be no internal strife.

In fact, the situation was far beyond his expectation.

Shout out, Sean's ears pricked up.

Gossip is the spiritual necessity of this era.

"I'm telling you, the third generation of David Rockefeller is now in charge of the family."

Sean's mind turned around and he realized that this was Rockefeller Jr.'s youngest son, the youngest son of the third generation.

(PS: Rockefeller family genealogy: First generation: John D. Rockefeller I, second generation: John D. Rockefeller II, three generations and five brothers: the eldest, John D. Rockefeller, the second, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller

, the third child is Lawrence Rockefeller, the fourth child is Winthrop Rockefeller, and the fifth child is also the third generation: David Rockefeller)

"Our grandfather is the fourth of the third generation and the earliest to pass away. Grandpa David, who is now in charge of the family, does not have a good relationship with our family."

Sean's mouth twitched, "Why is the relationship so bad!?"

It turns out that after the death of the second generation John D. Rockefeller II, the family should theoretically be handed over to the third generation eldest brother, John D. Rockefeller III Jr.

However, John Rockefeller III Jr. was not as capable as his younger brothers.

Among them, the second brother is Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. After graduating 30 years ago, he worked in the family business at the age of 22, became a director at the age of 25, and entered the government at the age of 32, serving as the mediator for American affairs in the State Department.

At the age of 36, he was promoted to Assistant Secretary of State for American Affairs.

At the age of 42, he served as chairman of the Truman Administration's International Development Advisory Committee.

At the age of 44, he served as Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower Administration.

At the age of 50, he successfully ran for governor of New York State and served as governor of New York State for four terms until 1973.

Served as Vice President of the United States from 1974 to 1977 and leader of the moderate faction of the Elephant Party.

This is a ruthless man. After unexpectedly losing the party nomination to Nixon in the 1968 election, who had long retired from politics, he sent his confidant Kissinger to the White House. Later, he used the Watergate incident to finally avenge himself.

Nixon was ousted.

After serving one term as vice president in the weak Ford administration, Kissinger was now secretary of state.

In his later years, he became dissolute and died in the office after indulgence.

In 1960, after the death of John D. Rockefeller, this man wanted to use his power to control the family power, but the eldest son of the third generation, John D. Rockefeller Jr., refused to do so, and the two continued to fight over family affairs.

It is said that the reason why Nelson lost the party nomination to Nixon was due to Little John's handiwork.

In the end, John Jr., with the help of his third brother Lawrence Rockefeller and fifth brother David Rockefeller, wrested Nelson's family power back from Nelson.

In his later years, Nelson retired from the position of vice president at the age of 69. The family power was gone, and his political career was over. Nelson, who could not accept it for a while, indulged in indulgence. Finally, at the age of 71, he died on a woman's belly in the office.

.

A generation of werewolves!

Of course, John Jr., who defeated his second brother Nelson, failed to take control of the family power. The third brother, Lawrence Rockefeller, inherited his father's business acumen. In 1937, he inherited the New York Stock Exchange that he had bought in a generation and was the father of venture capital.

.

The fifth brother, David Rockefeller, who is now the controller of the family, is even more powerful. This person has controlled the road of 'gou' and successfully laughed in the struggle between the eldest and the second.

Most of his political legacy is that as the president of the Bank of Manhattan, although he did not directly participate in politics, he supported many politicians behind the scenes and participated in many political decisions.

Sean and Hayden's grandfather, Winthrop D. Rockefeller, was the fourth child in the family.

This guy is amazing, he once served as the governor of Arkansas!

Yes, it’s the same as Zipperton, both are Aken and color.

Unlike the fifth child, success has the last laugh in the struggle between the eldest and the second child.

The fourth child has a very good relationship with the second child, Nelson. They both follow the political line and side with Nelson in the struggle. In the end, success lies in the struggle between the eldest child and the second child.

Beaten to death...

He was the oldest of the five brothers to die.

As for abilities...the difference between governors may be greater than the difference between humans and dogs.

Therefore, Sean's branch does not hold much power in the family business, and its relationship with the current three-generation head branch is also very average.

The distance is too far, uncle and grandpa.

If the split of Rockefeller was the beginning of the decline of the Rockefeller family, then this family power struggle is the starting point of the family's second decline.

For the first time, Rockefeller II was able to turn the tide.

It will be difficult the second time.

However, this is not something that Sean can worry about now. Well, with his small body now, he is not qualified to worry about such national affairs.

It’s better to take care of your own three-thirds of an acre of land first.

After chatting about family gossip, Hayden got down to business.

"If you want to buy a patent and build an electric furnace, it's actually very simple. Just contact the steel factory that has the relevant patent. There are many, but it's best to visit our fifth uncle first." Hai said.

Deng glanced at Sean with a smile, "It's been more than two years, and you are now famous, but you haven't met the clan leader yet."

Ha, Sean chuckled, "What's the benefit?"

"There are definitely no obvious benefits." Hayden shook his head, "After all, you don't have any shares in any company under your family's name."

"But, after all, you are a member of the Rockefeller family, and you are outstanding in ability. If you are recognized by the patriarch, the family foundation can pass on your identity recognized by the family. You are all members of the Rockefeller family, and you are holding a controlling stake with the family or

It will provide a lot of convenience when dealing with companies with certain shares."

"Then what are you waiting for? Make an appointment!" Sean urged.

"Hey, you'd better make a plan in advance." Hayden gave him a meaningful look.

Sean touched his chin and said nothing.

Hayden didn't make it clear, but Sean did.

He has no shares in any company under his family's name. This visit to the patriarch David is considered as acknowledgment of his ancestors. Should he exchange the shares of the company under his name with the shares of some of the family's companies, or should he accept the family fund's investment?

Invest in companies under your name.

There is a lot to talk about here.

There was a lot of confusion for a while, which made Sean hesitate a lot.

He didn't know what choice to make.

There are naturally many benefits to joining the family system. As long as there is no conflict of interest and within the scope of cooperation, everything will be smooth sailing.

However, the decision-making process is bound to be influenced by the family, even if there is no exchange of shares but only investment.

After all, compared to the size of the Rockefeller family, Sean is nothing now.

If he doesn't join, he can only borrow a name, and basically won't get any real benefits. The cooperation will continue as usual, but everything must be done in accordance with normal business rules and contracts. At most, those companies under the family name will not cheat him.

.

But the advantage is absolute independence.

Sean fell heavily on the beach chair and had a headache!

He had no one to discuss this matter with, and no one could help him make a decision.

I didn’t have much appetite for dinner, so I just ate a little.

Went to bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Sean had insomnia for the first time since he came into this world.

It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, one pillar held up the sky...

He's in good health, and it's not a big problem if he doesn't sleep well all night. He seems to be more energetic than Hayden.

After breakfast, the two of them got ready to go out.

David Rockefeller, born on June 12, 1915, has been living in Rockefeller Center in New York and in charge of the family office after taking control of the Rockefeller family.

As the fifth generation of the family, there was no one to stop Hayden and Sean from arriving. Of course, an appointment was required. Sean soon met with the third generation head of the Rockefeller family under the guidance of his secretary.

Uncle, David Rockefeller.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, compared to Hayden who bowed to David politely and politely, Sean quickly looked around the office before bowing slightly without saying anything or saying hello.

David Rockefeller's office was surprisingly not big, only about 40 square meters, with a large mahogany desk, a couch, a small bar for drinking in one corner, and bookcases on the walls.

The books are piled high.

None of these old-school rich people like luxury.

"Grandpa David, this is Sean Rockefeller, also his father's son." Hayden pointed at Sean and introduced.

(Don’t talk about the issue of foreign titles, after all, it is for our own people to see)

"Hello, Grandpa David." Sean bowed in greeting and looked at the famous family helmsman with his eyes.

70-year-old David Rockefeller is a short, fat man with a face full of fat and a slightly stooped body, but he is still in good spirits.

If it’s not good, I won’t live to be 101 years old...

"Hello, little Sean, I've heard of your name, haha." David Rockefeller seemed very kind, without any airs, and after making a little joke, he said: "Sit down, I'll sit down with you."

There’s no need to be so polite here.”

"Thank you." The two of them thanked each other. Hayden was sitting upright with his legs together and his hands on his legs. Sean's legs were spread apart, with one hand on the armrest next to him and the other on the sofa.

Observing the sitting postures of the two of them, David said nothing and looked at Sean carefully.

When entering a strange place, the first thing he subconsciously observes is the environment, which shows that this kid has a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire for self-protection. He also sits down, with a sitting posture of a big horse and a golden sword. At first glance, he has a domineering personality and habits.

To put it bluntly, he usually appears as the protagonist and central figure.

People's subconscious behavior can best reflect something.

The old man has been in power for more than 70 years and his eyes are very poisonous.

Without mentioning anything about business, David smiled and asked about Sean's situation, chatting the whole time. He even asked Sean whether he had a girlfriend and when he planned to get married, which made Sean dumbfounded.

The elders who co-authored "Not Just Rabbit" like to rush marriages?

I can't see what Hayden said about not having a good relationship. When Sean thinks about it, it's all a matter of the previous generations. The old man is now in control. He has a different position and looks at the problem from a different angle. The two have nothing to do with each other.

The junior who threatens is not worth targeting at all.

After chatting for half an hour, David seemed to have had enough fun, and then he brought the topic to business.

"In the past year, many old friends have mentioned you in front of me, starting from scratch, and they all said that our Rockefeller family has produced another outstanding person."

"It's all a random mess." After all, it was the rabbit's soul, Sean said subconsciously and modestly.

"Hahaha, it would be great if other people were as good at messing around as you are. You are so humble." David smiled and glanced at Hayden.

Hayden: Look what I'm doing...

"This is not modesty." Sean said with some seriousness: "The management team came to me several times and said that my management was, well, too chaotic, scattered, and unsystematic."

"This is a fact. I admit it myself. I have not received any higher education, nor do I understand any business philosophy, nor do I have any experience to pass on. It is indeed too messy."

"I came to see Grandpa David this time because I wanted Grandpa David to teach me."

"After all, I am not a witness, I can only speak from the perspective of a bystander." David thought for a moment and said.

After all, Sean is a member of the Rockefeller family. If it doesn't work out, that's it. There are more than a hundred people in the family, and David won't pay attention to it.

But Sean has risen rapidly in the past two years and has made such a big battle. How could he not pay attention to it?

Even though Sean's size is completely incomparable to Rockefeller's.

"First of all, decentralization and system are two completely different business ideas. In essence, they cannot be said to be good or bad. There are good and bad managers, but there are no business ideas." David said very slowly, as if he was afraid.

Sean didn't understand. "Systematic management can give greater play to the advantages of the system and have greater influence. However, when risks come, it is the whole that will bear the impact."

"The possibility of overall collapse is relatively high."

"Decentralized management does prevent each company and industry from exerting its full energy, which will cause a certain degree of waste, slow down development, and compress competitiveness. However, when the storm comes, it can avoid energy

Effectively avoiding a large part of it.”

"There is little chance of a collective collapse of all corporate industries."

"Essentially speaking, the major consortiums can be regarded as decentralized operations. For example, we at Rockefeller invest in many industries, including petroleum, chemicals, steel, raw materials, electronics, manufacturing, sports, clothing, finance, media, entertainment, real estate...

There is linkage, but it is not a complete system, and risk sharing is very important."

"So, there is no need to think too much about this, just follow your own ideas." David said with a smile.

Phew~~!

Sean let out a silent breath, he really thought he must be wrong.

It turned out that it wasn't my fault, it was that the people under my command were not at a high enough level, no, I should say that they didn't stand at a high enough level.

This may be due to the different perspectives of professional managers and chairman of the board.

"But." David suddenly changed his attitude.

The word 'nothing' frightened Sean and made him feel anxious again.

"There is no problem with decentralized operations, but it is best to have a core."

"Core?" Sean asked after thinking about it for a moment: "Bank?"

"The core can be a bank, but banks are not necessarily the core." David smiled and shook his head.

"What is the core? The core is the center of all industries. It not only provides funds and relationship support during development, but also provides adequate shelter when danger comes." David said slowly: "This

That’s the core.”

"For example, your X security is the core."

"X Security?" Sean frowned. Although he regarded

"Why not? It doesn't have to be funds, it can also be connections. What's more, the Jonas family provided a lot of funding sources during your early development." As he said this, the 70-year-old man winked at Sean.

Eye.

Sean: "..."

The old guy knows quite a lot.

"Okay!" Sean shrugged. There's no use pretending to be a coward in front of celebrities.

"But..." David seemed to have a bad taste, changed the topic again, played a long tune, looked at Sean and said.

Sean's heart tightened again.

"The security company is not a very good core." David said slowly again: "The mainstream of the world is still peace. It is no longer dozens or hundreds of years ago. It is not that X Security is useless, but that most of the time,

It has power, but you can't use it."

Sean raised his eyebrows. He also felt this. However, he felt a little hazy before and felt that he was at a loss. The old man's words really woke him up.

When he faced Santos and Brewster Jesse before, he didn't dare to directly use the power of X security, so he could only use some sneaky means.

Very unhappy!

If the Rockefeller Foundation wanted to deal with them, they could have done so openly and openly from the financial backers, the party, and the law at the same time, in a crushing manner.

Of course, the greater possibility is that the two of you will be "invisible" from now on. Even if you still show up every day and are still working, there will be no news about you in the media and society, everyone will alienate you, and you will be completely alone as a living person.

before the public.

"What about the core of the family?" Sean asked directly.

"The consortium, through the consortium, we can influence all walks of life. This is a network. No one can escape. We can always affect the 'enemy' through some industries."

"Well, I can..." Sean shook his head. He also had a bank under his name, but his main business was the company under his own name. It was regarded as the center of fund allocation and was far from such a deterrent.

"I can't give you any advice, you need to find it yourself." David shook his head.

"Join the family consortium?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said.

David didn't say anything, just stared at Sean.

Sean didn't say anything, and the two looked at each other.

Hayden suddenly felt as if the air was thicker, and he shrank his body hard, trying to make himself smaller. He cursed Sean in his heart for speaking too directly, and silently muttered, "You can't see me, you can't see me."

After a while, David suddenly laughed and shook his head, "This is not a good idea."

Sean had no expression on his face, but he felt greatly relieved.

He had thought about it on the way here. He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. I can take less of the benefits, but he will definitely not join the family consortium or accept investment.

He is here for benefits, not for his father.

It was just a test just now, but now that the old man said this, he felt relaxed.

Although Sean hid it very well, David still saw it and pointed it out directly: "Even if you join the consortium as a whole, it will not bring any substantial benefits to the consortium, so it is completely unnecessary and it will also delay you.

For its own development, this is a lose-lose situation.”

David looked out the window and suddenly said: "I like to observe animals and insects. I have a collection of 40,000 completely different insect specimens."

Sean looked at David in confusion, completely confused as to why he suddenly mentioned this.

Is there even a VND relationship between the consortium and the bug?

The old man turned his head, looked at Sean with a smile and asked: "Do you know about elephants?"

Sean didn't know why and could only nod.

"The elephant is already the largest living creature on land. It has no natural enemies and eats a lot every day. But why doesn't the elephant continue to grow as an adult?"

"Because, I'm an adult!" The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, why should I ask?

"No!" David shook his head and said seriously: "Because if it continues to grow, the elephant's internal organs and legs will not be able to bear it, and he will collapse."

"As small as a bacterium, as large as a country, in a certain period of time, even if it has the ability, if it grows without control, it will collapse. Everything has its limit."

Sean frowned. The old man suddenly jumped from business management to biology, and then from biology to philosophy. This was completely unacceptable to Sean, who had never received higher education.

I really want to hit someone!

Jonas: You fucking know that too!

In the past, Sean's quick thinking made it difficult for his subordinates to accept it. This time, he also experienced it.

This is why Sean was crushed in terms of IQ and knowledge. He didn't understand what "philosophy is the science of science." When you can't find the answer in science, you can go to philosophy.

"Take countries as chestnuts. Rome was too big and was eventually divided. The Mongol Empire was also too big and had to be divided into several countries." Fortunately, David did not continue to beat around the bush and gave an example directly.

"The consortium is actually the same."

"If wealth could continue to increase with development, then Rockefeller would have dominated the United States long ago, and there would be no Morgan Group, Citibank Group, DuPont Group, Boston Group, etc. In fact, well, if it could really be like this

, the British Empire will not collapse, oh, no, it should be the Spanish royal family further forward, hahahaha." David suddenly laughed.

"Rockefeller has reached a certain size. His wealth has increased by several hundred million, and there is no real use for more than ten or two billion. This is a bottleneck."

"And breaking through the bottleneck may not be a good thing. It's like an elephant. If it suddenly doubles in size, it will die."

"Do you understand, little guy!" David grinned and looked at Sean with a smile.

Ha, ha, ha, Sean laughed twice.

I really don't understand, I'm not that far.

But he understood what the old man meant. The Rockefeller Foundation is now an elephant, and he is just a bug. It is useless to eat the shit.

Maybe it's still poisonous.

But the words are rough, and the reason is not rough. Compared with the force of X Security, Rockefeller has Lockheed, Martin, Boeing, etc.

Banks include Rockefeller and Chase Manhattan (Note 1).

Petrochemical industry, well, let’s not talk about it...

Others, forget it...

How embarrassing!

Damn, Sean felt so embarrassed that his cheeks felt slightly hot due to his shamelessness.

Of course, it's just a fever.

It is impossible to blush. It is impossible to blush in this life.

Being slightly hot is the limit.

In David's eyes, the most important thing is not to fall behind in the struggle with the other seven major financial groups.

Sean?

This is a child, a talking point that can be used to show off in meetings with other immortals.

That's it.

Of course, David was also very happy to see the energetic young people. Talking more with these young people made him feel a little younger.

He is an old man after all.

But, Sean wants to take it a step further?

Let's wait until Sean puts aside the name Rockefeller and is truly qualified to stand in front of him.

The secretary knocked on the door and walked in to remind David that there would be an important conference call later. Sean immediately stood up and left knowingly.

"Sean, what happened in the early years is over. Don't mind it. Now that you have returned to the family, you will come back often to visit and hang out with the family more." David said with a smile.

"I actually didn't care about it. After all, my living conditions were pretty good when I was a kid. Even though my mother never worked and took drugs, I still went to a private aristocratic school. If my mother hadn't overdosed on drugs and suddenly passed away."

Sean shrugged, "I didn't understand it at that time, but now I understand that my family's foundation supported me when I was a child. I will never forget this."

"That's good!" David smiled, finally thought about it and said, "Finally, I can give you a little suggestion."

"Please give me some advice, Grandpa Five!" Sean's face immediately showed respect.

"Do you know about patent companies?" David nodded when he saw Sean, "In the future world, peace will be the main tone, and the role of guns will be greatly reduced. Relying on the United States, patented weapons will be able to play 200% of their effectiveness.

"

"Especially when you have the world's largest country behind you, Rockefeller behind you, and X Security Company behind you."

"One hand is a Bible, and the other is a cannon!" Sean's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to give himself a slap. Yes, how could he, a descendant of the future, forget about the patent issue!

"You are such a smart little guy." David praised again.
