If you want to teach Ariana how to invest, you must first let her understand what investment is.

"To put it simply, investment is to invest enough money in a certain area at a certain time in order to obtain returns.

There are many areas of investment, which are generally divided into three types, physical investment, capital investment and securities investment. ”

Old Rockefeller said this, took the coffee in front of him, moistened his throat, and continued. "These three types of investments are different, but they all have pros and cons, and what I'm going to teach you today is a different investment. ”

"What investment?" said Ariana, looking expectantly at the old Rockefeller.

Old Rockefeller smiled and replied. "Investing in people. ”

"Talent investment?" Ariana wondered.

As the little princess of the Rockefeller family, she is actually no stranger to investment because she has been exposed to it since she was a child, but it is the first time she has heard what the old Rockefeller said about talent investment.

And the old Rockefeller saw Ariana's puzzled expression and explained seriously. "Ariana, you have to understand that whether it is physical investment, or capital and bond investment, these things are the product of people in the final analysis, so if you want to maximize profits, you must stand upstream and invest in the people who master these things, as long as you invest in the right people, you can firmly hold these things in your own hands and bring the greatest value to yourself.

It's like your fourth grandfather invested in Robert Noyce and Buddy Rickenbeck, so we have Intel and Eastern Airlines.

There is also JP Morgan, the founder of the Morgan family, and it is because of his investment in Edison and Bell that the Morgan family has GE and ATT.

So Ariana, what Grandpa wants to tell you today is that dreams don't have to be fought by ourselves, and sometimes we can let others help us achieve them.

You must know that the ability of the individual is always limited, only the wisdom of the people can create miracles, and the great man lies in his ability to gather the strength of the people to accomplish his own goals.

You...... Do you understand?" said the old Rockefeller, looking at Ariana on the side, and asked kindly.

What he taught Ariana was both talent investment and the art of maneuvering, which was a must-learn course for those in power.

And the reason why he wants to teach Ariana such a method is that in addition to changing the treatment method, he actually has another purpose.

As the little princess of the Rockefeller family, Ariana cannot become the patriarch according to the heir regulations, but there must be a chair belonging to her on the elder seat of the future family.

So the elder Rockefeller had to train Ariana to be a qualified elder, which was his duty and responsibility as a patriarch.

As a qualified elder, you must have the vision and skill to control people.

Otherwise, how to manage the huge family estate and select qualified family heirs?

Of course, Ariana didn't know the ultimate purpose of the old Rockefeller, but in order to keep her money, Ariana listened very carefully, so when the old Rockefeller finished speaking, she nodded as soon as she could. "Grandpa, I understand, what you mean is for me to dig out talents and invest in talents, but how can I find these people?"

It is not difficult to understand the words of the elder Rockefeller, but the difficult thing is how to determine whether a person will succeed in the future.

40 years ago, Warren Buffett, who was rejected by Harvard University, who knew that he could become a stock god in the future.

Also 40 years ago, Murdoch, who was in debt due to the death of his father, knew that he would become a media tycoon in the future.

You must know that before a great man is not great, he is one of thousands of little people, and it is not just luck to find them out of the vast sea of people.

So when Ariana understood the old Rockefeller's words, she pointed out the core of the problem as soon as possible, and at the same time hoped to learn some skills from the old Rockefeller to discover and invest in talents.

But what she didn't know was that the old Rockefeller didn't have the actual ability to teach her in this area, you know, not all knowledge in this world can be taught orally.

Discovering talents and controlling talents is a test of a person's vision, knowledge, courage, courage and personal charm, and these things are to be accumulated slowly in the process of growth, not by others to teach, so the old Rockefeller can only love and help.

"Ariana, grandpa can't tell you how to do it, but what grandpa can tell you is: use more heart to understand the world, use more brain to think about problems, time is the best teacher, it will teach you how to grow in adversity, how to succeed in failure. "Although knowledge cannot be taught, experience can be shared, and the old Rockefeller shared the experience he had accumulated in his life with Ariana, which is a kind of inheritance and a mission.

And just as the elder Rockefeller was teaching Ariana the lesson, not far from the study, in an equally ornate room, Charles's assistant Osborne picked up the phone and dialed it, and it wasn't long before a voice appeared on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, this is EOP, what's the matter?"

"Give me the number one line. Osborne replied coldly.

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

As the voice fell, a black phone rang in the drawer of the Oval Office Perseverance Desk, and then in the secretary's office at the northeast gate, a secretary in black professional clothes ran out and hurriedly opened the drawer and picked up the phone. "Hey, this is Line 1, where is it?"

"This is RKF Line 2, please let the president answer the phone. Hearing the inquiry on the other end of the phone, Osborne replied.

"Okay, please wait a minute...... The secretary heard the call from the RKF line, and he didn't dare to delay, put down the phone and ran towards the president's study at the west gate.

Soon after, the president returned to the Oval Office, and the private secretary walked into the room next to the Oval Office.

This room is a war room, and the officers on duty are usually composed of senior members of the National Security Agency, who are responsible for call security, listening on calls, and recording calls.

Before the Watergate scandal, all the president's phone calls had to be recorded, but after the Watergate scandal, this rule was lifted, but in order to prevent the president from saying something that should not be said, the war room will still record the content of the president's phone call, but in a different way.

But there are always exceptions, and although the Situation Room has the right to record the president's phone calls, if they encounter calls from the RKF and MG lines, they cannot record them, and they can't even listen to them.

Therefore, the secretary has to go to the war room at this time to empty the personnel to ensure that the call will not be monitored and recorded.

Wait until the war room has been emptied and all equipment has been turned off before the president picks up the phone. "Mr. Rockefeller, I'm BS, what do you command?"

"Mr. BS, I'm Osborne, and Mr. Charles asked me to tell you that the plan can be executed, and everything is going according to plan. Osborne's voice is still very cold, and he will not change just because the other party is the president, not to mention that this president is just a mascot.

"Okay, I'll do it right away, please rest assured, Mr. Charles. BS doesn't care if Osborne's voice is cold, he cares about how to do Charles's arrangement, his presidency is approaching, and he needs the support of the Rockefeller family to have a chance of being re-elected.

Although the "president" is just a mascot pushed out by a big family, in the eyes of outsiders, is there a more glamorous profession than this?

So he wants to be re-elected, he wants to be in the limelight for 4 years, and more importantly, his son BS Jr. will also enter politics in the future, and he will also need the support of the Rockefeller family at that time.
