Chapter 978 Lawrence Rockefeller

While the two were talking, a person appeared in front of everyone, and at this time, the banquet became quiet.

"It's actually him?!"

Lawrence Rockefeller.

Although he had become much younger, Catherine still recognized this person because she had seen photos of him when he was young.

Rockefeller is not Rockefeller's Rockefeller.

But the Rockefeller family still has some weight in the Rockefeller Foundation, and they can hold some equity.

And the other party obviously looked like a master, so he must be Lawrence Rockefeller - because that was the name written on the invitation.

"I am very happy to meet you here today."

The other party greeted everyone with a smile.

On the other side of the continent, people rely on dinner parties to bond, while in the United States and Europe, people rely on various banquets and parties.

This is the time to connect emotionally.

Lawrence Rockefeller was born in New York on May 26, 1910. He was the fourth of John Davidson Rockefeller Jr.'s six children.

And Catherine is more interested in the other person's other identity - the father of venture capital.

John Rockefeller Sr. once said that the ability to make money is a gift given by God to the Rockefeller family. Lawrence Rockefeller inherited the talent for making money from his grandfather. He has 1.5 billion US dollars in assets to his name. According to Forbes,

Magazine ranked 377th out of 587 billionaires.

——That was before World War II.

Lawrence is a key founding figure in the U.S. venture capital field.

...Well, although because of the popularity of Quantum Fund and venture capital, Lawrence's limelight in this area is not as big as before.

Well, because some people call Soros the "Father of Venture Capital", this embarrassing change once made Catherine embarrassed.

But there is no denying that Mr. Lawrence is a powerful man.

Catherine listened with great interest as the other party said some useless and emotional clichés.

Catherine knew that this was not the topic.

Because except for the strange Dragon who was a little out of touch just now, most of the people here are shareholders of the Rockefeller Foundation.

"I think everyone sitting here must feel the same as me today."

Let’s get down to business!

When the other party said this, Catherine became energetic.

"A great invention, a great drug, which now allows us to rejuvenate!"

Perhaps because he is younger, Lawrence's words are full of passion. Catherine also understands that a person's mental age often follows their physical age. Jenny has studied psychology, and so does her side.

So told Catherine.

Uh... Having said that, doesn't this mean that my mental age is 17 years old...?

It's a bit nonsense...

"I think everyone who is working on this matter already understands it very well..."

Nonsense, you must have made it clear when you held the board meeting!

but……

Catherine glanced at "old" White, who had become middle-aged.

The relationship between the other party and Rockefeller is not very big.

Are there some people here who are not from Rockefeller?

Catherine extremely doubted that if Nixon had not run to England in a rage, Nixon would definitely be standing here at this time.

However, Catherine also sent a medicine to the other party. Although Nixon could still be president for two or three years, after all, it would bring convenience to himself...

"But there is one thing I must explain to everyone - this kind of medicine is not something worth showing off. Excessive showing off will only make people hostile to us."

Indeed, if people in the upper class can live for a long time and live as long as they have money, then who are ordinary people like them?

Especially the Red Empire is watching eagerly from the side.

If you exaggerate this kind of product too much, it will definitely not work by then.

Rockefeller used 10 billion in a high-profile manner, which was the final hype.

But next, Catherine believes that they are not going to continue to hype it up. Whether love comes or not, there are only a few people who want to die.

After saying this, Lawrence started to say unnutritious words again, and then the banquet officially began.

Then, it became lively again.

These people are also familiar with each other.

Although everyone knows each other, at this time, everyone's appearance has changed. At this time, everyone has become "familiar strangers", and of course they have to get to know each other...

"Good evening, Miss Edson."

At this moment, Lawrence Rockefeller walked up to Catherine.

"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller."

"Oh, I'd rather you call me Lawrence. You know, we brothers, it's easy to get us confused by our surnames."

Perhaps because he has become younger, the feeling Lawrence gives to Catherine is completely different from the one in the photo.

"Then you can just call me Catherine."

Catherine smiled too.

As for the nickname "Kate", Catherine would not let the other party call her that.

Lawrence looked at Catherine, and Catherine looked at Lawrence.

Catherine knew that Lawrence started his career on Wall Street 30 years ago, became a pioneer of modern venture capital in the United States, and successfully multiplied the wealth inherited from the Rockefeller family several times.

In the decades since he took his seat on the New York Stock Exchange, he often used his innate business instincts to make his next big decisions.

He is not satisfied with simply making more money, but hopes to make money produce something of lasting significance.

According to family records, Lawrence has a natural talent for profitable transactions, which is very similar to his grandfather. Three generations of their grandparents lived together in the big house called Kykuit in New York.

Compared to Catherine, a cheater with a "strategy collection," Lawrence is the one who has really worked hard and succeeded.

"Quantum Fund is a very good model."

The Quantum Fund belongs to Catherine, but not many people know this news, but if it is Lawrence, it is common sense for the other party to know.

"And I was inspired by the idea of ​​entrepreneurial funds. What we need is not only wealth, but also an opportunity to create wealth for others."

Lawrence can be said to be a unique Rockefeller.

In other words, Rockefeller is different.

They pay more attention to social responsibility.

——It as if when Rockefeller monopolized that year, the oil was actually cheaper than later. This is a bit ironic.

Lawrence had an unusual childhood. When he was a child, Lawrence had worked as a miscellaneous worker. He later called himself a person who played with a small play.

和比自己大两岁的纳尔逊很要好,彼此用各自喜欢的名字称呼对方,比如称呼纳尔逊叫迪克,称呼劳伦斯叫比尔.他们一起养兔子,然后卖给科学试验室.和兄弟们一起,他们也

Make money to make money like shoe washing, and the paid compensation such as shooting flies is 10 cents per hundred flies.

Before and after marriage in 1934, Lawrence began to enter the business world. In 1937, Lockefeller died. He inherited his grandfather's position on the New York Stock Exchange.

Unlike grandfather, Lawrence did not continue to invest in blue chip stocks, but began to invest in some emerging businesses. When he tried it for the first time he and the bride decorated a new home, a Finnish furniture designer showed them some curves.

Pictures of furniture. Lawrence ordered a lot, and intuition made him believe that the designer's works can attract more buyers who seek to seek modern design and have the ability to pay. For this reason, he disregarded the opposition from the experts and opened a family on the street 53 New York Street.

Stores specializing in Finland furniture.

The effect of the second test of water was even more significant. In 1938, Lawrence met Eddie Ruke Beck, the Air Force Captain Edie Rukebeck, who had won many victory during World War I.

The description of commercial flight is very convincing. After careful consideration, he funded Rukebeck to set up Oriental Airlines and serve as the company's largest shareholder for a long time. Ten years later, the company became the most profitable after World War II.

Airlines.

Through personal and family relationships, Lawrence invested hundreds of projects, and successively invested in the Macao aircraft company, Intel and Apple Computer Company -if Catherine does not change history -and biotechnology.

As many as thousands of acres of Wyoming to Virginia. He also took the initiative to invest in companies that have a significant role in the security, welfare and economy in the United States.

Of course, the entrepreneurial funds with billions of liquid funds now snatched the other party's work.

During World War II, Lawrence had served in the Navy's supply department. After that, he continued to look for emerging investment opportunities. In 1959, an article from the Wall Street Journal reported: Lawrence did not intend to give up his 20 -year experience, and he took himself.

Assets are the policy of investing in emerging enterprises as "risk funds". Among them, risk funds added quotes, indicating that this was a new term at the time.

The report also said that after the war, Lawrence invested about $ 8.75 million in more than 20 companies. By the end of 1958, the value of these investment had exceeded $ 28 million.

However, compared to Catherine, which has a lot of money, there is no pressure to use billions of funds to engage in investment. It is enough to get zero.

"I just do what you have done. Haven't you said that the first person is genius, the second is mediocre, the third is stupid ..."

Catherine laughed at himself.

"No, no, I think your model is more creative."

Lawrence really admired it.

Of course he didn't know, Catherine is purely plagiarizing the mature model of the 21st century ...

At this time, Catherine looked at Lawrence, if you went online with each other ... it seems good?

All kinds of cheating in the school's network do not explain ...

The cold is not good yet, temporarily ...
