Rebirth

After talking with Denise Richie about business matters, the next step was small talk, but perhaps due to the existence of Denise Richie, everyone’s chat topic was about the commodity trading industry, and naturally also talked about Macridge’s various aspects. Kind of legendary news.

"John, or else, let me introduce some friends to get to know you, how? Many of my friends said when I came today, I hope I can help introduce you. Many people want to get to know you, St. John Lee."

"Oh..., huh, that's fine, you still need Gordon's face, don't you? Besides, I think the person Gordon introduced should also be considered a California celebrity. I am a California junior just to meet the world. , I also want to thank Gordon for your help in introducing and increasing your knowledge."

"Hehe... John, you are too polite, let's go around together!"

"OK, please!"

"..."

A group of people walked into the middle of the venue under the guidance of Gordon Getty. Soon, Li Feng and his group walked to a corner of the venue, but they saw 4 or 5 middle-aged and elderly men sitting together, tasting wine and talking first. Then, seeing Li Feng and his party approaching, they smiled directly and stood up to greet them.

"John, this is Wright Treiner and Henry Gianni. Both of them are independent directors of Bank of America. These are brothers Robert Gross and Kirtland Gross. They are directors of Lockheed Martin. This is. .."

"Hehe..., the last one doesn't need to be introduced. Cheney and I are old friends." Before Gordon's final introduction, Li Feng said jokingly.

"Hehe..., Gordon, I have known John for a long time. John, I am very glad to meet you in Napa Valley. I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard that San Mandala has acquired several famous Napa Valley. It seems that we will have a common hobby in the future. Next time we will have a chance to taste red wine together. I have 2 bottles of 72-year-old Montereyna."

It was Cheney, the president of Halliburton who had contacted before, who was a close comrade of the Bush family, the Secretary of Defense of the elder Bush, the vice president of Bush Jr., and Richard, who was hailed as the most powerful vice president of the United States. Deceni.

Today Cheney is the president of Houston’s oil giant Halliburton. I have to say that people are indeed capable. They can shoulder the responsibility from politics, defense secretary to vice president, and it’s easy to manage a large oil giant. Excellent manager.

But think about it, it’s a bit overkill to manage a company that can become the Secretary of Defense and Vice President of the United States, even though the company is famous.

......

As for the other people that Gordon helped to introduce, from the last names of these people, combined with the introduction of some friends in California, Li Feng can roughly guess the family situation of these people. These are all glorious times. One of the controlling families of the California Consortium, has a strong influence in California and even the United States.

The Treiner family has been the most powerful family in San Francisco for hundreds of years. Naturally, one of the core families of the California consortium that rose after World War II. Kiani, perhaps many people will be strangers, but understand the beginning of Bank of America Perhaps many people will understand that the predecessor of the Bank of America was once called the Bank of Italy, founded by an Italian immigrant surnamed Chiani.

Today's Bank of America has gone through hundreds of years of continuous expansion. Naturally, it cannot be a word of the Chiani family, but as the financial flagship core of the California Consortium, Bank of America is naturally the most important industry of the California Consortium.

As the founder family who once founded the predecessor of Bank of America, it naturally has a decisive influence in the Bank of America.

The last Gross brothers are obviously the Gross family of Lockheed Martin.Lockheed, one of the predecessors of the famous Lockheed Company, was acquired by the Gross family in the 1930s, although with the development of Lockheed, it has continuously introduced many family consortia in California and finally merged with Martin. , It even diluted the shares of the Gross family.

But as the former owner of Lockheed, including the founder of the famous Skunk Studio, the influence of the Gross family in Lockheed and the United States is undoubtedly one of Lockheed's largest shareholders. .

Although Li Feng did not know these people, through Gordon Getty's introduction, the origins of several people can be basically determined from the surnames of these people. After all, he has risen in California and is the largest power in California-California. The consortium naturally needs to understand that the information on the many families of the California consortium is in Li Feng's collection.

......

In terms of personal wealth, these individual families are not as good as their own, but these families have formed a close interest group after decades of cooperation and development through the California consortium, and their influence is by no means a short time. Li Feng can be compared within.

Of course, today's Li Feng also gives these people any underestimation. After all, the forces that Li Feng controls are really not as good as the overall California consortium, but they are already catching up.

In terms of financial banks, there are financial derivatives companies such as CSCB and BlackRock on Wall Street, facing the world's financial giants; in the core industry of the California consortium, there are also comparable companies like Northrop Raytheon. From Lockheed Martin, there are no inferior giants.

The rest also includes the influence of industries such as real estate, entertainment and media, which is more extensive than traditional California consortiums, and more importantly, Li Feng's age advantage.

It must be admitted that today’s upper-class figures in the United States have already acknowledged the rise of Li Feng, and most people may still silently say the phrase “nouveau riche” in their hearts, but now Li Feng has enough influence and has already It can affect the American government to a certain extent.

These wealthy consortia will not do things that hurt both sides. The competition between the major consortia in the east and the west was so fierce that in the end it was not basically ended with a'handshake'.

Now the major consortia infiltrate each other, you and I have you in me, and now for Li Feng’s Century series (which has already defaulted to the newly emerging Century Consortium), the wealthy consortia in the United States basically hold this attitude, hope Cooperate with each other. Otherwise, the Rockefeller and Roosevelt families would not take the initiative to win over Li Feng and choose to cooperate.

In fact, Li Feng is also happy to accept this. After all, Li Feng also knows that it is impossible for you to eat alone. For example, for those technology companies in Silicon Valley that will rise in the future, Li Feng is prepared to take the big shot by himself. Win-win cooperation and win-win cooperation is the best choice to win over some wealthy consortia.

......

Seeing the group of people introduced to him by Gordon Getty, Li Feng couldn't help but think secretly in his heart. These are all representatives of the California consortium. Suddenly wanting to know himself, he has to pay a little attention.

It seems that now I am on the list of people's attention. There are pros and cons, and I need to grasp it in the future.
