American TV series

As news came back from the front line one after another, Norman was in a great mood and was unstoppable. Silly Damu was still immersed in the world of traditional mechanized ground warfare and didn't understand at all that times had changed.

At 9 o'clock, Sean was eating breakfast while looking at the battle report sent by Armstrong himself. It cannot be said to be very comprehensive, but it can only be said to be exactly the same as Norman's.

At this time, Umbrella has mobilized 15,000 people to arrive in Saudi Arabia, which is more than the French army!

Sean must know the battle situation ahead as soon as possible so that he can quickly select the tasks that Umbrella will undertake after the war!

As a patriotic young man, isn't it natural to protect Americans' assets? Coincidentally, he is still an American, ai, what a coincidence!

After eating and wiping his hands, Sean walked to the study room. There was a map hanging on the wall of the study room, a map of the Middle East.

His fingers crossed the territory of Kuwait. If I remember correctly, when Sha Damu ran away, he ordered all the Kuwaiti oil fields to be ignited. The fires burned for several months, and many countries around the world sent people to put out the fires.

I don’t know what Sha Damu was thinking at that time, just for revenge? It was too low of status, maybe it was to delay the action of the US military?

However, no matter what, Kuwait must be returned to the Kuwaitis.

From the perspective of national interests, Kuwait is very obedient and weak. The United States will not invade Kuwait's interests. It is true that capitalist countries do not have state-owned companies, but profit is never the primary purpose.

Therefore, Sean will not move.

Old man David called Sean back two days ago and specifically talked to him.--

"Some people say that the essence of capital is the pursuit of profit, exploitation and expansion, and the pursuit of the increase of surplus value. What do you think of this?" After asking Sean about his recent situation, the old man David got down to business.

I don’t know why the old man asked these metaphysical questions, but Sean thought for a while and said, "I don’t know which book it said. Is there any question?"

He is not stupid, there must be something wrong with the old man asking this.

"Essentially, there is no problem. The question is whether you really understand it." Old David smiled mysteriously, "If you really understand it, then you will know that it is too one-sided, as for those who can't understand it."

"I can't understand this, so what's the difference if I understand it or not?" Good guy!

Sean looked at the old man David with a speechless expression. You and I are here and there, right? After all, Sean frowned and thought about the problem in this sentence.

After careful consideration, Sean gradually became aware of some problems and asked him to tell him what the problem was. As a high school student, he didn't know how to express it, but at least at this stage, he was not pursuing profit, exploitation and expansion, or pursuing surplus.

Increase in value. What he values ​​now is the network of relationships.

Seeing Sean's frown getting tighter, old man David smiled, "Is there something wrong with the gap?" "Yes, but I can't tell."

"Capital, capitalist." Old man David said two words.

Sean tasted the two words, looking slightly dazed, "Politician, politician?"

Old man David laughed heartily, "Capitalists control capital, but not all capitalists control capital!" "Family is not a title that everyone deserves."

"Soros and others are calling themselves capitalists!" "Is he a capitalist?"

"He is not!"

"He's not that capable, you know?" Sean: "."

"Here, let's ask Mr. David Rockefeller, the third generation leader of the Rockefeller family, the greatest family in the United States, to tell us what a real capitalist is!" Sean asked with a smile, "Everyone applaud!"

As he said this, Sean clapped his hands.

The old man laughed out loud at Sean's amusement. The flattery thing depends on who is doing it. These words came from the mouth of the most outstanding grandson. Of course, being a grandpa feels great.

What, you said it was Grandpa Wu?

Give you a chance to reorganize your language!

After laughing enough, old man David picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Then he said aloud: "In the primitive accumulation stage, capital uses all means and hungers for it, not letting go of any benefit. This is correct."

"Catch the toad and pee it out, I understand." Sean summed it up in concise language. The angry old man David's face froze and he wished he could stab this rebellious grandson to death with a pen!

Staring at Sean fiercely, old man David continued: "But what happens after the primitive accumulation of capital is completed?"

"When you have money, you will stand at a higher level and find more and more opportunities to make money. At this time, if you have a clear understanding of yourself, then you will understand that it is time to make subtractions from your own industry.

, give profits, lighten your body, cut down the industry carefully, find a correct direction to move forward, instead of holding all the money-making links in your own hands!"

"Many people do not have a clear understanding after completing the primitive accumulation of capital. This causes their industries to continue to proliferate and expand like a tumor. It seems that their size is growing rapidly, and they are earning more and more profits.

"High, but if the tumor continues to proliferate indefinitely, it will only turn into cancer. In the end, there will be no cure, and we will have to go bankrupt."

"You should have seen and heard of this kind of company a lot." Sean nodded heavily. He had seen too many of them!

Let’s not talk about it far away, but let’s talk about the one I have recently come into contact with, one of the largest companies in the United States and even the world, the General Electric Company founded by Thomas Alva Edison.

At its peak, General Electric had a total of 113 manufacturing plants in 24 countries, and its business scope covered more than 100 industries such as military industry, electronics, nuclear weapons, nuclear industry, aviation, energy, medical, industrial vertical fields, finance, intelligent manufacturing, etc.

This is unlimited growth. The final result is that it almost went bankrupt and now it is constantly divesting businesses and slimming down.

The same goes for future Motorola, Sony, Toshiba, etc., there are too many.

"In my eyes, these are not worthy of being called capitalists. At most, they are top-notch capital operators who can lead the company to grow and develop, and can bring huge amounts of profits, but that's it!"

Sean tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "In the end, they are all professional managers. For them, their ability depends on how much Li Lan they can create. It is impossible to let Li Lan go out even if they see it.

, Ha, then I’m afraid the internal evaluation of him within the company will collapse.”

Old David laughed heartily, "So, they can't become capitalists."

"No system is perfect. Family-style management has its drawbacks. The scope of talent selection is narrow. Managers stick to their word. Once the manager himself has problems, the entire group will go astray. Therefore, there is a professional manager system.

.”

"But similarly, the professional manager system also has great disadvantages. First, when they are in their position and seeking political power, their eyes will only be on what is in front of them. After taking office, they must show their abilities as soon as possible to show shareholders and those below them.

Look, even after they have settled down, the pressure of the annual report is so great that they can’t relax at all times and cut business? Are they crazy?”

"Second: This is not their own industry. How long can they sit in this manager's position?" "Five, ten, or up to 20 years is an exaggeration. But, in fact, if the boss is not forced

As a last resort, professional managers will never be allowed to control the company for so many years. If they are incompetent, they will bring down the company. If they are capable, it will be even more terrible."

A word popped out of Sean's mind uncontrollably, "Plot to usurp the throne!"

Just like Disney in the future, everyone only knows Eisner, and the Disney family has completely disappeared.

Sean nodded with a serious look on his face, "The most perfect way is to be like Rockefeller. The leader of the family is foresighted, shrewd and capable. He sits on a high platform like an emperor, controlling the general direction of the Rockefeller empire, giving orders while also

Give the Prime Minister enough room to play, with tentacles all over the world, and he will be on top of the world!"

"Hahahaha!" Old man David liked hearing this. He laughed, stopped laughing for a while, and then asked: "Then have you thought about which industries you are ready to delve into?"

"What is a capitalist? A capitalist is a symbol of an industry. It has become an irreplaceable presence in an industry and an important component of the industry, country, and society.

Only in this way can it exist for a long time."

"At the stage of capitalists, the pursuit of profits is no longer the most important thing. Keeping assets stable is enough. Of course, this does not mean that we don't want to make money."

Just like Rockefeller, this is synonymous with the oil industry!

"I understand." Sean nodded and pondered. His industry has always been scattered. According to the old man, he has completed the primitive accumulation of capital and should consider moving in the direction of becoming a capitalist.

Break down your own industry into a systematic system, and security companies should be listed separately. This is a bottom line and a guarantee. From film and television entertainment to radio and television, these can be collectively referred to as media.

From shipping to ships to aviation can be collectively referred to as logistics.

As long as people are still there, even if there is a war, media and logistics are indispensable and should be preserved and deepened.

The rest are relatively scattered. Mining in West Africa, mining in Colombia, mixed mud oil mining, and future oil mining in the Brook Kingdom, these can be collectively referred to as resources.

Sean crossed his fingers and thought about the others, including various factories and real estate in Colombia, electricity in Sri Lanka, motorcycle manufacturing, textile industry in Morocco, planting industry in Southeast Asia, finishing industry, and cooperation with the north.

aircraft manufacturing and light industry OEM.

My dear, my fingers are not enough.

From the perspective of future generations, any of these is a market worth hundreds of billions or even larger. Now let’s give up some

Sean clutched his chest unconsciously, feeling difficulty breathing, dizzy, and distressed to the point that he couldn't breathe!

Seeing Sean's appearance, old man David rolled his eyes, feeling like he hated iron for not becoming steel. I've told you so much, why can't you just look away?

The old man snorted in dissatisfaction and banged the table several times with his hand. When he saw Sean looking over, he leaned back on the chair and said calmly: "Tell me what you want and I'll help you refer to it."

It’s just a matter of making a choice. Old David, the helmsman of one of the world’s largest and most powerful families, the Rockefeller family, has stood on the shoulders of the world’s largest country and overlooked the world for so many years, and he still feels that he has a clear vision!

Sean kept talking. It was really difficult for him to choose, so he said, "I have already handed over some gray business to Jonas. Of course, some of Lilan has also been handed over to me."

"How much?" The old man frowned. It's not that Sean shouldn't be involved in these gray areas. This is the United States, not the north, and he doesn't plan to enter politics.

"Thirty percent, it's about 200-300 million every year, maybe a little more next year, more than 400 million." Sean shrugged. The old man's eyelids twitched, he didn't pay attention to this, I really didn't know there was such a

many.

This is so normal. Just from the Peace Hotel and the black boxing-themed hotel, Li Lan earns so much in a year!

What's more, New Jersey, Rhode Island, half of New York, half of Los Angeles, the entire northern coast of Colombia, and Southeast Asia.

Especially after the death of the big drug lord Pablo, the emerging drug lords all have to look at Sean's face. Although they are not actually involved, they must submit confessions through some channels.

In North America alone, the current annual drug trade volume exceeds 200 billion US dollars!

The old man smashed his mouth, "I'm not asking you to let go completely, but I just want to try to make them whitewash. The gray areas on the edge of the law are fine, but those who clearly break the law must be clearly cut off. You use these to place those who are with you

Brothers of this age must be settled well."

Sean nodded, "The black boxing side is developing well. The original plan was to formally form an alliance for promotion after it matured. In the past two years, the name was mixed martial arts. With ***, the market is no less than 10 billion.

"

The old man raised his eyebrows, "Ten billion market? Are you so sure?"

Don't lie to me, old man!

It's not that he doesn't believe in Sean, but really, is it so big if you just throw it out?

Sean explained in detail how this industry works, what is different from boxing, what are the advantages and disadvantages, a comprehensive comparison with boxing, the market

The scale is really that big.

Old man David took a deep breath after hearing this.

Such an industry has spent several years supporting, cultivating, optimizing, and popularizing it bit by bit. It’s like growing from a baby to a tall and graceful girl, ready to be picked at a glance. How can the word “precision shearing” be used in this context?

Old man David buttoned his ears, his face expressionless, and he felt very embarrassed, "Damn it, it's broken!"

It’s not that the old man’s words sound like farts. This is the attractive part of capital. The market prospects are so broad that you can make money at your fingertips, but 99.999% of people in the world will never make money in their lifetime. It’s so easy to give up!

Is the man at the helm of GE really that useless? Obviously not!

Besides, Sean. Ahem, David's 100,000 Rockefeller plan has been launched, and the results are remarkable. In just two years, the Rockefeller family has had more than 100 children, and the future is promising.

When the time comes, there will be so many descendants to arrange, and countless properties will be needed. Isn’t it inappropriate to abandon it now? Old man David stared at the table in front of him with a somewhat distracted look. The shit he had just pooped out was still warm!

So difficult
