"They should be celebrating Christmas now, right?" Catherine sighed a little while sitting on the plane.

"But there's no snow this winter."

Elsa also looked out the window.

"Christmas banquet." To be honest, Catherine didn't want to go to such a dance, but the fact was that Catherine had to go.

It was Soros who invited Catherine to this banquet.

Originally, Catherine wanted to turn it down, but at that time, Soros said: "If you want us to make money in the Middle East, you'd better agree."

First, yes, this is no ordinary banquet.

In fact, this should be an "airy" banquet.

Is Catherine the only one in the world who has noticed the coming war in the Middle East?

No, absolutely not. Consortiums like Rockefeller all have their own think tanks. These big capitalists who want to control everything by themselves must know very well about such things.

History has changed, but outstanding people can still deduce what will happen in this world in the future through clues from this changed history.

Just like... war.

War is also an eternal theme in this world.

Making war profits can be said to be the main purpose of these consortiums, so their sense of war is very sensitive.

Under the operation of her father, the Umbrella Company is doing better than Catherine imagined. Even renting a si-pilot like this is still possible.

Catherine yawned.

She was wearing the dress she wore when she was interviewed by Time Magazine, but she also wore a coat outside. It is winter and the temperature is a bit low.

"It seems like a war is really going to break out," Catherine murmured.

"Why do you say that?"

It’s just possible, right?

Elsa looked at Catherine.

"That's not what I said. Soros invited me to this banquet, not just for me."

There are many people who want to make money. Mobil and Shell are all oil giants.

Especially Mobil, which was once split up. This company created by Rockefeller is definitely the most powerful company in the world. You know, before being surpassed by Apple, the company with the highest market value in the world was Mobil.

.

Who will benefit most from rising oil prices?

It's definitely not speculators like Catherine - it's these oil giants.

When Soros invited Catherine, Catherine realized that her role in this wave was so small. When facing these oil giants, the best thing for her to do... was to make soy sauce.

.

"Our banquet is for communication, just to make a fortune in the oil market. Of course, it's not just us."

"Are you talking about the big chaebols?"

"right."

"We just have to sit back and watch. Now we are no longer the protagonists on the battlefield in the Middle East."

Catherine pouted.

Although she didn't say it, Catherine found that when she became the protagonist in a big conspiracy, it felt quite good, but so far, it seemed that what was standing in front of her had turned into a group of terrifying people.

, a consortium that eats people without spitting out their bones.

"Well ... no."

Catherine thinks that the rubber does not seem to be so simple.

"What's wrong?"

"Although the power of the consortium is great, their strength is only limited to the country ... I think this wine banquet may not be as" easy, "

Catherine suddenly thought of something that might have a headache.

"What's wrong with this?"

"The pricing of oil is in the hands of OPEC. How can they make these consortia make money?"

I wanted to stop at the beginning. If the cost increases, it should not be a good thing for the consortium?

Catherine is analyzing things.

Historically, after the energy crisis in 1973, the country's organization of the oil output country organized the country with the US monopoly capital to start a tit -for -tat struggle, giving the Rockefeller Consortium a heavy blow.

As soon as Catherine thought he was self -righteous, she suddenly thought of these things.

"Things may be slightly more complicated than what we think."

Catherine came to such a conclusion.

"Let's talk about it when you arrive at the banquet ..."

The banquet was held in a manor in the outskirts of Philadelphia. Catherine showed his identity and went in.

Just in, there are not many people. It is playing soft and comfortable music in it. Men wearing a suit are talking there. There are almost no women like Catherine. When Catherine just appeared, it was like a crowd chicken group.

Same……

"Oh, Miss Edson, hello."

At this time, Soros, who was holding red wine at this time, came over with the spring breeze.

"Good evening, Mr. Soros." Catherine took off his coat, then handed it over to Elsa, and walked over.

To be honest, it has been outdated for a long time at home. People now like to rent a place in the hotel.

"Come, let me introduce you, this is the executive of Rockefeller Group, Mr. Jamestrek.

The other party is a man in his fifties, and he looks decent. But Catherine does not think it is the same as Soros as a "executive".

"Hello." Hello.

"

The two held their hands.

"I didn't expect Lou to see the legendary princess here." The other party was very humorous.

"I never thought that I would deal with Rockefeller.

The Rockefeller Consortium is a typical example of the bank's capital control industrial capital. It has a huge financial network, with Datong Manhattan Bank as the core, and more than 100 financial institutions including New York Chemistry Bank, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and Fair Life Insurance Company.

These financial institutions have directly or indirectly controlled many industrial and mining enterprises. They have important positions in various economic departments such as metallurgy, chemistry, rubber, cars, food, aviation transportation, telecommunications, and the arms industry.

McDonald Douglas, Martin Maria Eita (jointly controlled with Meilong Consortium), Sperrigrad and Westinhus Electric (jointly controlled with the Mearon Consortium).

Other consortiums jointly control 5 largest airlines in the United States, including United Airlines, Pan -American Airlines, American Airlines, Global Airlines and Oriental Airlines.

But speaking of it, Catherine has almost no interaction with the other party.

Even if you buy a supercomputer, the other party will still find it first.

To be honest, when Soros told him about this at first, Catherine was completely unprepared.

Although Catherine was rich, compared with Rockefeller, she was poor.

…

"Rockefeller is not a great person, we are just businessmen." The other party chuckled.

But Catherine felt the corners of her mouth twitching.

Maybe the other party just said something modest unintentionally, but these words left Catherine almost speechless.

Rockefeller is one of the top ten financial groups in the United States. Based on the Rockefeller family's oil monopoly, it is the largest monopoly group in the United States that has extended its sphere of influence to all sectors of the national economy through continuous control of financial institutions. John Rockefeller started his career in oil and settled in Cleveland in 1863.

He opened an oil refinery and expanded it to form the Mobil Oil Company in 1870. It soon monopolized the U.S. oil industry and invested in the financial industry and manufacturing industry with its huge profits, and its economic strength developed rapidly.

Rockefeller's total assets were only US$6.6 billion in 1935, but increased to US$82.6 billion in 1960, an increase of nearly 12 times in 25 years.

There are 16 largest oil companies in the United States, 8 of which belong to the Rockefeller consortium.

So far, the total assets of the entire Rockefeller consortium are hitting a total of 300 billion U.S. dollars, and it is very likely that it may even surpass Morgan and become the world's number one consortium.

Rockefeller, who was extremely wealthy, could throw out five or six billion U.S. dollars in one go. It would be nothing to them. Their purchase of two supercomputers was just a joke to them.

Comparing people to each other can make people angry. There is no doubt that this is how Catherine feels now.

But speaking of it, Catherine is not sure about the market value of her product.

Catherine has never been listed. Even the equity is in Catherine's own hands. Although options are easy to use, they are difficult to count.

Moreover, Catherine didn't know how to describe the value of the influence of her products.

But speaking of it, compared with Rockefeller, I am not even one-tenth of the other party, maybe not even one percent of the other party...

"I saw your supercomputer some time ago. It is very useful to us at Rockefeller." When the other party talked about the supercomputer, he looked happy. It seemed that the supercomputer really helped the other party a lot.

.

"If you think it's good, you can place additional orders. Our research is already very mature. If you need it, we can provide you with the products you need within a month." Catherine said to the other party with a smile.

With.

"If you need it, we at Rockefeller can also provide you with a loan. As long as it doesn't exceed US$10 billion, there's no problem at all."

Catherine's eyes lit up: "If you can really take it."

"Of course that's no problem."

The other person smiled.

The loan of 10 billion US dollars made Catherine's heart flutter.

If you have 10 billion, it will be much easier for you to develop!

However, Catherine just treats each other's words as a kind of politeness. This is 10 billion US dollars. As far as the current purchasing power is concerned, these money can pile up a world richest man!

Catherine suddenly thought of in the novel. Those boldly said that we could loan the protagonist of 20 billion in a day ...

Could we also have the main character potential?

"The Ark Group is a high -quality group. I think we will not lose your investment."

The other party said so much.

(Sure enough, laugh ...)

If the other party says 5 billion, Catherine may be taken seriously, but this tens of billions of words should try it in the future?

However, Catherine did not forget the purpose of the purpose of his purpose here today.

This Gu Catherine just talked a little, and took it.

Whether the other party can provide a huge loan amount like himself, Catherine also feels that he can try his luck ...!!
