Blooming America

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

"But there is 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.

One This banquet was invited by Soros to Catherine.

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

One yes, this is not an ordinary banquet.

In fact, this should be a "breathing" banquet.

Is it possible that only Catherine in this world has noticed the upcoming war in the Middle East?

No, never will. Consortiums like Rockefeller have their own think tanks. These big capitalists, who wish to control everything by themselves, must be very clear about such things.

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

Like... war.

War is also an eternal theme in this world.

It can be said that making war money is also the main purpose of these consortia, so their sense of war is very sensitive.

Under the operation of her father, the umbrella company is better than Catherine had imagined. Even if you rent a plane like this, you can still do it.

Catherine yawned.

At this time, she was wearing the dress she wore in an interview with Time Magazine, but she also wore a coat outside. It is winter now and the temperature is a bit low.

"It seems that war is about to break out," Catherine murmured.

"Why do you say that?"

Is it just possible?

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.

In particular, Mobil, a company created by Rockefeller, is definitely the most powerful company in the world, which has been split up. You know, before being surpassed by Apple, the company with the highest listed value in the world has always been Mobil. .

For whom is the oil price increase the most profitable?

It's definitely not a speculator like Catherine, it's these oil giants.

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

"Our banquet is "communication, it is used to make a fortune in the oil market, of course, not just us." "

"Are you talking about those big chaebols?"

"Correct."

"We only need to watch from the sidelines now, and now we are no longer the protagonists on the Middle East battlefield."

Catherine curled her lips.

Although she didn’t say anything, Catherine found that when she became the protagonist of a big yīn plot, it felt quite good, but so far, it seems that standing in front of her has become a group of terrible people. , A consortium that cannibalize people without spitting out bones.

"Huh... not right."

Catherine felt that things didn't seem so simple.

"what happened again?"

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

Catherine suddenly thought of something that might give her a headache.

"What's wrong with this again?"

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

I was thinking about it at first. If the cost increases, it shouldn't be a good thing for the consortium, right?

Catherine was analyzing the cause of the matter.

Historically, after the energy crisis in 1973, OPEC countries waged a tit-for-tat struggle with US monopoly capital, which dealt a heavy blow to the Rockefeller consortium.

As soon as Catherine thought she was right, she suddenly thought of these things.

"Things may be a little more complicated than we thought."

Catherine came to such a conclusion.

"Let's talk about it when it comes to the banquet..."

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

When I just entered, there were not many people. There were soft and comfortable music playing inside. Men in suits were talking there. There were almost no women like Catherine. When Catherine first appeared, she quickly stood out from the crowd. same…

"Oh, Miss Edson, hello."

At this moment, Soros, who was holding red wine and full of spring breeze, came over.

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

To be honest, having a banquet or something at home is out of date. Nowadays, people like to rent a place in a hotel.

"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. James Drake, an executive from the Rockefeller Group. Mr. Drake, this is the Miss Catherine Edson I just told you."

The other party was a man in his fifties, dressed decently. But Catherine does not think that this is just an "executive" as Soros said.

"Hello.

"

The two shook hands.

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

"I never thought I would still deal with Rockefeller.

The Rockefeller Consortium is a model of bank capital controlling industrial capital. It has a huge financial network, with Chase Manhattan Bank as the core, and more than 100 financial institutions such as New York Chemical Bank, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and Fair Life Insurance Company. Through these financial institutions, many industrial and mining enterprises are directly or indirectly controlled, and they occupy an important position in various economic sectors such as metallurgy, chemistry, rubber, automobiles, food, air transportation, and telecommunications, as well as in the arms industry. The arms companies under its control are: McDonnell Douglas, Martin Marietta (jointly controlled with the Mellon consortium), Sperry Rand and Westinghouse Electric (jointly controlled with the Mellon consortium) )Wait. The Rockefeller consortium also individually or jointly with other consortia controls the five largest airlines in the United States, including United Airlines, Pan American Airlines, American Airlines, Global Airlines, and Eastern Airlines.

But speaking of it, Catherine and the other party have almost no intersection.

Even if you buy a supercomputer, the other party finds it first.

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

Although Catherine is rich, she is poor compared to Rockefeller.

…

"Rockefeller is not a great place either. We are just businessmen." The other party chuckled lightly.

But Catherine felt the corners of her mouth twitch.

Maybe the other party was just unconsciously humble, but such words made Catherine almost speechless.

Rockefeller is one of the ten largest consortia in the United States. Based on the oil monopoly of the Rockefeller family, through continuous control of financial institutions, the sphere of influence is extended to the largest monopoly group in the United States in all sectors of the national economy. John Rockefeller started with oil and opened an oil refinery in Cleveland in 1863. In 1870, he expanded into the Mobil Oil Company based on the plant. He soon monopolized the American oil industry and invested huge profits in the financial industry. And the manufacturing industry, the economic strength is developing rapidly.

Rockefeller’s total assets were only 6.6 billion U.S. dollars in 1935, but it increased to 82.6 billion U.S. dollars in 1960, an increase of nearly 12 times in 25 years.

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

So far, the total assets of the entire Rockefeller consortium are impacting the total amount of 300 billion US dollars, and it is even possible to surpass Morgan and become the world's largest consortium.

The wealthy Rockefeller threw out five or six billion dollars in one breath. It was nothing. They bought two supercomputers. To them, it was like a play.

People are more maddening than people. There is no doubt that Catherine feels like this now.

But to speak of it, Catherine also estimated that mō was not allowed to the market value of her products.

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

And the value of the influence of her own products, Catherine did not know how to describe it.

But speaking of it, compared with Rockefeller, let alone one-tenth of the other party's, maybe even one-tenth of the other party's is not as good as...

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

"If you think it's good, you can add some orders. Our research is very mature. If you need it, we can give you the products you need within one month." Catherine smiled and said to the other party. With.

"If you need it, we at Rockefeller can also provide you with a loan, as long as it is no more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, there is no problem at all."

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

"One, of course it's okay."

The other party smiled.

Catherine was moved by the loan of 10 billion US dollars.

If there are 10 billion, then it will be much easier to develop!

However, Catherine only regarded the other party's words as a kind of politeness, which is 10 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of the current purchasing power of uukanshu.com, this money can pile up the richest man in the world!

Catherine suddenly thought of the protagonist in the novel, who proudly said that we can borrow 20 billion yuan a day...

Could it be that we also have the protagonist potential?

"The Ark Group is a high-quality group. I think we will never lose the investment we give you."

The other party said so meaningfully.

(Sure enough, let’s laugh...)

If the other party said 5 billion, Catherine might still take it seriously, but if the tens of billions are said, do you want to try it in the future?

But Catherine did not forget the purpose of her coming here today.

This innocent Catherine just talked a little bit, and then took it.

Whether the other party can provide such a huge loan amount to herself, Catherine feels that she would just try her luck...! .
