Rebirth of the Super Landlord

As soon as Carrick said this, everyone's eyes were shocked. Yes, the United States is really a large bank, and the only one that is not controlled by a big family is the world's largest bank.

, Citibank.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that Citibank is not controlled by a big family, but it is undeniable that Citibank is the bank least affected by the major established families in the United States. This is also thanks to its founders, the Stillman family.

.

The growth of Citibank can be said to be very tortuous. Its predecessor, the City Bank of New York, was founded by the Stillman family in 1812. In its nearly two hundred years of development, Citibank was controlled by Rockefeller and also sought refuge with Morgan.

consortium, but because the Stillman family has always followed the rule of letting Citibank

Based on the principle of self-contained system and independent development, it got rid of the control of Rockefeller and Morgan in the continuous development, and thus developed into a behemoth that makes the two major families wary. Today's Citigroup is actually the only one that is not affected by several big companies.

A collection of large companies run by families, with Citibank at its core.

Officially because of this, families such as Rockefeller and Morgan have always regarded Citigroup as a traitor and a thorn in their flesh. This is why in the previous life, when Citibank suffered from the subprime mortgage crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy, other major families remained indifferent. First, because several

The financial system of the big family itself

They were also affected. Another plan was to completely eliminate this opponent. However, what the big families didn't expect was that Citibank actually turned to the US government in the end... Yes, it was the US government. Su Zhen remembered it very much.

It is clear that in the previous life, Citigroup unscrupulously turned to the United States.

The U.S. government has become the leader in the nationalization of U.S. banks... causing the glasses of several major American families to fall to the ground. You must know that this is not what they want to see. Although the existence of the U.S. government itself is controlled by consortiums,

It does not represent that the interests of the US government are the interests of the consortium. In fact, both

To a large extent, there is opposition between them, but the government has always been in a weak position. Don’t you see, there have been several presidents in history who wanted to limit the influence of conglomerates and families on the government, but in the end they did not achieve good results.

Representative among them are Wilson, Roosevelt and Kennedy.

Wilson was the president during World War I. It was during his term that the United States turned from a debtor country to a creditor country. It was also he who introduced antitrust laws and dismembered Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, which was a powerful blow.

American trust syndicate.

Not to mention Roosevelt. Roosevelt's New Deal had a huge impact on American conglomerates, and because of World War II, Roosevelt's power was limited. Originally, he was the most promising president to entrust the U.S. government to the control of consortiums. Unfortunately, the war had not yet begun.

After it was completely over, he took action against the consortium and died of illness.

Needless to say, Kennedy was assassinated precisely because his new economic policies threatened the interests of the consortium.

And there is a very interesting phenomenon. These three presidents are all from the Democratic Party~~~~

Closer to home~ When I heard that Su Zhen wanted to acquire Citibank, several people here were in disbelief. You must know that the stocks of a big bank like Citibank cannot be bought with money. Almost all the shares have been bought by those shareholders.

To hold on to it, only a very small number of common shares are circulating on the market, so even if the US government bought shares in the previous life, it only diluted the shares of the original shareholders. It did not mean that those shareholders sold their shares.

"I know this may seem unbelievable to everyone. Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for us to obtain shares of Citibank. But you have to know, what is Citibank's biggest business? It is credit. If this economic crisis happens

, it happened in the bank credit industry?" Su Zhen asked with a smile.

Hiss, the sound of air-conditioning suddenly sounded in this small conference room. If this is really the case, then it will be a big trouble. You must know that the banking industry is the lifeblood of the consortium. If something goes wrong, then

But it's a big problem.

"Su, how sure are you that the source of this economic crisis is the credit industry?" Carrick asked Su Zhen with his eyes widened.

"Sixty percent" Su Zhen thought for a while and said, he didn't dare to say it to death, after all, the butterfly effect is difficult to explain.

"Enough, enough, we have to fight for this," Ham muttered with red eyes. If all this really happens, then there will inevitably be a major reshuffle of the upper-level economic forces in the United States, and by then the United Arab Emirates

Like the Saudi royal family, it will also have sufficient status in front of the US government.

In today's Arab world, Saudi Arabia has the highest status in front of the United States. Not only because of Saudi Arabia's oil, but also because Saudi Arabia has a voice in several major financial groups in the United States. For example, Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia is in Citibank.

He owns a large number of shares in the company, so if there is such an opportunity, Ham will definitely join in without hesitation. Anyway, if it succeeds, it will be a huge success. Even if it fails, it will not be said that it will break the bones.

At most, Dubai will return to the state it was in a few years ago.

Carrick's eyes also revealed hope. The DuPont family has certain seats in the Philadelphia and New York Fed Banks among the twelve Federal Reserve Banks, but only ten of the more than 400 seats in the New York Fed Bank.

A few is basically the same as none. The main force is still in Philadelphia, but the influence of the Philadelphia Fed on the entire Federal Reserve is almost non-existent. This is why the DuPont Consortium has always been listed among the top ten consortiums.

One of the downstream reasons. But if it really takes control of Citibank as Su Zhen said, then the DuPont family's status in the Federal Reserve will be greatly increased. You must know that Citibank has a full 97-year-old position in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

One seat, accounting for a full quarter, means that by then the DuPont family will officially become a top family like Rockefeller, Morgan, and Mellon... I made a bet for the sake of the family.

"I need to ask for advice on this, but I think it's not a big problem." Al Fahim said with a serious face. After all, he is different from Ham. He cannot fully represent Abu Dhabi. All decisions require the people behind him.

Prince Mansour was determined, but his cousin would not miss this opportunity.

"Well, the problem with His Highness William is not big. He said before he came that you can make the decision on everything." Bell shrugged and said with a smile, "But can you count me in? I learned from the old man.

I borrowed 10 million, which is completely incompatible with you, but this is the largest amount of money I can get. If I lose it, I will probably have to film your show for more than ten years before I can pay it back."

"Very good. To wish us success, let's have a drink together. This is a treasure from my winery." Su Zhen said with a smile, pointing to the wine he brought on the table.

As five people with amber drinks come together in their lifetimes, the Avengers, who will control half of the American economy in the future, oh yes, it is the Freedom Alliance, was established. As for why it is called the Freedom Alliance? That is my choice.

’s...don’t worry about such details~

(The financial relationships and American politics involved are all made up by me~). (To be continued...)
