Chapter 978 Lawrence Rockefeller

The two were saying that one person appeared in front of everyone, and at this time, the banquet became quiet.

"It's him?!"

Lawrence Rockefeller.

Although he became younger, but because he had seen the photo of this person when he was young, Catherine still recognized this person.

Rockefeller is not Rockefeller in Rockefeller.

But the Rockefeller family is still in some of the Rockefeller Consortium, and they can have some equity.

And the other party is obviously a master, that is definitely Lawrence Rockefeller -because on the invitation, the name is written.

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

The other party laughed and greeted everyone.

On the other side of the mainland, people rely on dinner to draw their feelings, and in the United States and Europe, everyone rely on various banquets and parties.

At this time, it is time to contact the relationship.

Lawrence Rockefeller was born in New York on May 26, 1910. He is the old four of the 6 children of John Davidson Rockefeller.

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

Old John Rockefeller once said that the ability to make money is a gift God gave the Rockefeller family. Lawrence Rockefeller inherited the talent of making money from his grandfather. His name has $ 1.5 billion in assets, in Forbes "

Magazine 587 billionaire ranked 377th among the billionaires.

—— Then it was before World War II.

Lawrence is a key initiative in the field of American risk capital.

... well, although because of the relationship between quantum funds and entrepreneurial funds, Lawrence's limelight on this is not as big as it.

Well, because some people call Soros as "the father of venture capital", the change of this embarrassment once made Catherine.

But it is undeniable that Mr. Lawrence is a great power.

Catherine listened to the other party with interest to say something without nutritional, contacted feelings.

Catherine knows. This is not the topic.

Because except for the strange Dragon of the somewhat off -line just now, most people here are the owners of the Rockefeller Consortium.

"I want to be sitting all the people who are sitting today, my mood must be the same as me."

Start the topic!

When the other party said this, Catherine came with the spirit.

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

Perhaps because the whole person is young, what Lawrence says is full of Ji. Catherine also understands that people's psychological age is often followed by the appearance of the appearance.

Tell Catherine like this.

Uh ... then, then, isn't this your psychological age or 17 years old ...??

A little nonsense ...

"For this matter, I want to be doing it very well ..."

Nonsense, when you open the board of directors, you must have explained it!

but……

Catherine glanced at the "old" White who had become a middle -aged person.

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

Is there anyone who is not Rockefeller here?

Catherine is extremely doubtful. If Nixon did not run to Britain impactly. At this time, Nixon would definitely stand here.

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.

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 also inspired by the idea of ​​entrepreneurial funds. What we need is not just 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 and so on.

——Just like when Rockefeller had a monopoly, oil was actually cheaper than it was afterwards. This is quite ironic.

Lawrence had an unusual childhood. As a child, Lawrence worked as a handyman. He later called himself a tinkerer and even built a wooden car that was towed behind a small motorcycle and often rode on it.

I am very close to Nelson, who is two years older than me. They use their own favorite words to describe each other.

They called each other by their favorite names, such as calling Nelson Dick and calling Lawrence Bill. Together they raised rabbits and sold them to scientific laboratories. Together with their brothers, they also made money by doing odd jobs like washing shoes and swatting flies.

The reward for such an errand is 10 cents per one hundred flies.

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

Unlike his grandfather, Lawrence did not continue to choose to invest in blue chip stocks, but began to invest in some emerging businesses. The first attempt was when he and his bride were decorating their new home. A Finnish furniture designer showed them some curved wooden

Pictures of furniture. Lawrence ordered a lot, and his intuition convinced him that the designer's works could attract more buyers who were looking for modern design and had the ability to pay. For this reason, he ignored the opposition of experts and opened a store on 53rd Street in New York.

A store specializing in Finnish furniture.

The effect of the second test was even more significant. In 1938, Lawrence got acquainted with Air Force Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, who had achieved many victories in Europe during World War I. Not only did he learn to fly an airplane, he also discovered the captain's knowledge about the upcoming war.

The description of commercial flying is very convincing. After careful consideration, he funded Rickenbacker to establish Eastern Airlines and served as the company's largest shareholder for a long time. Ten years later, this company became the most profitable after World War II.

of airlines.

Through personal and family connections, Lawrence invested in hundreds of projects, investing in McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company, Intel Corporation, Apple Computer Company - if Catherine did not change history - and biotechnology. And the land he inherited has since

Thousands of acres from Wyoming to Virginia Island. He also took the initiative to invest in companies that played a major role in the security, welfare and economy of the United States.

Of course, startup funds with billions of liquidity now have taken away many of their jobs. During World War II, Lawrence served in the naval supply department. After that, he continued to look for emerging investment opportunities. In 1959, the Wall Street Journal

An article reported that Lawrence did not intend to abandon his 20-year-old policy of using his own assets as "risk capital" to invest in emerging companies. Venture capital was included in quotation marks, indicating that it was still a new term at the time.

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

But compared to Catherine, who has a lot of money, there is definitely no pressure to have billions of dollars for investment. Just a fraction is enough, and she still has plenty of liquidity.

"I'm just doing what you have done before. Isn't there a saying that the first person to do it is a genius, the second person is a mediocre person, and the third person is a fool..."

Catherine was laughing at herself.

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

Lawrence sincerely admired it.

Of course he didn't know that Catherine was simply copying the mature model of the 21st century...

At this time, Catherine looked at Lawrence. If she got on the line with him... it seemed good?

There are all kinds of scams on the school network that I can’t explain...

The cold is not gone yet, so I will update temporarily...!
