Reborn Wealth America

Chapter 224 Financial Hegemony and Politics of the Elders (7th 4/7)

Two Abels in Massachusetts are discussing the possibility of the second division of the United States.

Los Angeles area.

Inside a luxurious villa.

The elderly Summer Redstone lay down on the resting bed after undergoing a treatment that made him feel comfortable and relaxing.

Relying on the development of modern medical technology and the rapid development of nursing technology, he is 95 years old and can guarantee a certain amount of energy.

But he is really old.

From a hero of World War II to a proud man in the media, his life is full of legends and fighting.He is in charge of one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world. He is the richest and most successful entrepreneur in the media industry in the world today.He is the emperor of media-Summer Redstone.

"Hoo... God's call to me is not far away. My dear Sara... Can you give me today's company briefing?"

The aging old man said to Sarah, his housekeeper and personal nurse.

The middle-aged woman Sarah nodded.

She sent a document to the old man and said softly: "Mr. Summer, I suggest you keep watching for no more than an hour, and don't get excited."

"Hehe... I have seen too much. It's hard to find anything that will excite me, I just look at it."

Summer Redstone took the documents handed over by the private nurse. The briefings on all the groups under his name were on it. In addition to personnel issues, there were also various contract signings and stock price changes.

Everything seems normal.

Just like when I watched it a few days ago.

The stock price is a bit unfavorable.

Thanks to this time the U.S. stock market has fallen, the market value of all assets under Redstone’s name, as long as they are listed companies, has been greatly affected.

Among them, Viacom, the most important one, was the most affected, with its stock market value falling from nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars to more than 14 billion today.

The loss is more than 13.

But it doesn't matter...

For things like market value, as long as the company can maintain normal operations, the profit margin is normal.If you can maintain control of the company, it doesn't matter how low the market value is.

in contrast……

If the market value is lower, Redstone can spend some money to buy back the stocks from the market, and then sell these stocks when the market becomes clear again in the future.

Thinking about this, Redstone is about to put Viacom's briefing aside and look at the other companies.

suddenly……

His eyes narrowed.

Because he noticed.

Compared with the other six Hollywood giants, Viacom's stock price in the past two days is somewhat abnormal.

The stock prices of the other six Hollywood giants have fallen as badly as Viacom during this period.But the problem is that the share prices of several other companies have fallen by more than 3% in the past two days.

Only Viacom's performance in these two days was very abnormal, and the decline was only 1.4% and 1.8%.

If it is Viacom's other management who sees that their company's stock has fallen less than other companies, they may be thankful that Viacom is better than them.

But as the creator of this media empire.

While other giants of the same period died on the beach, Redstone, who was able to survive to the present, was keenly aware of the difference.

Viacom has not had a good time in recent years. CBS is in the middle of the standard, but Paramount has nothing to do with movies, not to mention the surging Marvel and Marvel's parent company Disney.

Even Columbian Sony and Universal, 20th Century Fox, and now Paramount and Viacom can't compare.

Since all aspects are not as good as the other six Hollywood.

Why are the other six Hollywood stocks that have better earnings than their own companies have fallen so severely, while their own Viacom is so stable.

It is through keen intuition and years of experience that Redstone can build his media empire.

He frowned and thought for a while.

"Sarah...get me the phone for me."

One minute later.

"Sam, help me pay attention, is anyone in the market buying Viacom stock?"

…………

…………

Massachusetts.

Boston.

In the residence of the Adams family.

Inside Abel Adams' study.

"This is the real political model in the United States."

Adams looked at Abel and said: "You just summed it up well. The financial family and the veteran family can also be said to be the financial hegemony family and the political veteran family."

"The struggle and cooperation between the two are a manifestation of modern American history!"

"The birth of the Federal Reserve and the division of power are also a manifestation of this struggle and compromise! The seven most important executive committee members are those from financial hegemony families. Of the 12 regional reserve bank chairmen, at least eight are Roosevelt and Adams. , Bush, Kennedy people!"

"For nearly a hundred years..."

"The separation of major monopoly giants, the establishment of the anti-monopoly law, and the promotion of the president's power. This is the effort of the political elder family."

"Kennedy was assassinated, the status of the blacks increased, the crime rate increased, and the black president took office. This is a victory for the consortium."

"For a hundred years, we have been fighting, and we have continued to compromise and cooperate."

"call……"

Abel Adams rubbed his brows, picked up some cold coffee on the table, and took a sip.

He looked Abel in the eyes: "This is what I want to tell you."

"Very... incredible."

Abel concluded: "So... Mr. Adams, you have told me so much and introduced me so much. In the end, what do you want me to express?"

"Ha ha……"

Adams chuckled slightly, put down the coffee in his hand, and looked at Abel directly: "Competition is inevitable. Compromise is when profit is available. This is not surprising, and this is not something to mention! "

"In addition to competition between the political elder family and the financial hegemonic family, sometimes compromise and cooperation are also a way to get along."

He said quietly: "Just like this time, before Winnie returned to Adams, I chatted with the old Rockefeller guy and wanted her to contact the Rockefeller guy."

Abel's heart moved.

Somewhat angry.

He was about to talk.

Abel Adams continued to smile and said, "But your appearance has shown me another possibility."

"Appreciate further details."

"Like you said in the living room. You think Morgan and Rockefeller are nothing more than that, you are just born 100 years later than them. Then..."

Adams paused at this point.

He stood up suddenly.

Staring condescendingly at Abel.

"Do you want to become the new financial hegemony?!"

"Do you want to get the support of the elders' political families?!"
