In Switzerland, the canton of Zug was originally a remote part of the country.

Zug is located to the south of the economic capital of Zurich and to the north of the cultural capital of Lucerne.

Unlike the canton of Vaud, where there is fertile land, development has always been the slowest in Switzerland.

But all this changed in the sixties, when the canton of Zug began to significantly reduce its tax rates in order to attract foreign investment, making it one of the lowest tax cantons in Switzerland.

Switzerland has one of the lowest taxes in the world, with only a handful of offshore centres comparable to Switzerland.

The canton of Zug has been reduced again, with only a small amount of business tax except for profits tax, and there is no tax on income from outside Switzerland, so it has attracted a large number of multinational companies to register.

Philip Brothers, where Richie once worked, moved its headquarters from Armenia to Zug, where it established its headquarters. After leaving the brother company and working on his own, Rich established his own Rich International Company in a modest three-story building next to the train station.

In '73, there were fewer than 500 multinational companies registered in Zug, but today there are more than 5,000 registered multinational companies.

Most of these companies are registered by members of interest groups.

Jonas also knew that in later generations, the number of multinational corporations registered here exceeded 20,000. And the number of people in this small town is not as large as the number of companies.

This is not a simple mailbox registration company in an offshore center, because of the emergence of interest groups, it has become the world's largest spot trading center.

The Soviet Union's oil, minerals, natural gas, South American grain, and even gold mines on a small Pacific island were all under the control of this small city.

Tycoons from all over the world who are engaged in oil, minerals, and grain use this as their base camp.

You see a few ordinary people sitting in front of a café window talking on the street, probably talking about big business that affects the change in the world's resource supply.

The old man walking in an ordinary farmhouse may be the boss of a super-consortium.

In his previous life, Jonas knew that the pricing power of tungsten ore produced in the far east was in their hands.

The supply of Russian gas in the future was also negotiated here.

The second-tier dealer who once smuggled tens of billions of crude oil in the ancient country of the East also bought crude oil here.

However, that was the case, and Zug is still in a period of rapid development.

Jonas got out of the car in front of the nondescript building with mixed feelings, and was greeted by a security guard sitting at the top of the stairs.

The identity of Jonas was determined

At his call, a security guard appeared inside the security door and opened the door from the inside.

Ever since Richie was officially wanted, the security has been much tighter.

After passing through two more security doors, Jonas came to the hallway on the third floor.

The assistant was a man in his thirties named Steyr, whom Jonas had never seen before, but he should have seen a picture of Jonas, and in a very intimate manner, he led Jonas into an office.

It is an almost shabby office with a direct view of the Zug train station building from the window.

The office is about thirty square meters, with a desk, a few sofas, and a bookcase, which are no different from other offices.

However, there seemed to be a little more telephone on the desk, and Jonas glanced at it, nine phones.

On the wall to the left of the entrance, sixteen TV screens are arranged in a two-by-eight pattern, and below the TV screens, there are two maps of the world.

Jonas was stunned by the sixteen displays, and in this era, he had not seen such an electronic device in a long time.

On the TV screen, there was no image, only green dots of light, and Jonas secretly guessed that this should be a GPS positioning system.

"Jonas, coffee or tea?"

"Whatever. Are these GPS?"

Steyr nodded and said, "This is how ships belonging to interest groups operate around the world, and the captain has always liked to see them travel around the world. ”

The captain was of course referring to Green, and Jonas asked in confusion, "Is GPS now commercial?"

He was under the impression that GPS seemed to have only begun to be commercialized in the late eighties.

"This is a public signal from Armenia to Europe, through which we can track our ships. Steyr nodded and said, "Wait a minute, the captain will not be able to break up in about ten minutes." ”

Jonas nodded, his attention drawn to the GPS signal.

The dots of light that appear cluttered on the screen, each representing a ship, are sixteen on the screen, and there are at least a few hundred of them.

Moreover, the screen was still turning the pages, and in a short time, Jonas could not count how many ships there were.

Of course, most of these ships do not belong to interest groups, but are chartered.

However, it should feel great to have the power to allocate hundreds of ships and billions of resources at a time.

Jonas looked forward for a moment, and had to admit that he couldn't do what Green was doing now.

In this position, it is necessary not only to have a comprehensive understanding of the transportation of oil and ore around the world, but also to have a relationship with each partner

with close ties.

A person's energy is limited, and when all his energy is focused on this aspect, he will fall into tedious procedural work and lose influence in other aspects.

Rich and Green are arguably the best partners, and the division of labor between the two of them is very clear, and Jonas prefers to work on the area that Rich is responsible for.

He wanted to be a leader, not a manager.

His prophet of the future also gave him enough power.

It's just that he still lacks a reason to make others surrender.

Dongying's investment plan will be a good opportunity, as long as he can lead the partners to make money and accurately judge the future world situation, the partners will gradually be conquered.

The door opened, and a diminutive Green walked in, followed by Steyr with a coffee.

"Jonas, it looks like you thought about it last night. ”

Jonas nodded, hugged Green lightly, and said, "Uncle Pincas, please forgive me for being inconsiderate. I shouldn't ignore the professional abilities of other members, and I shouldn't go it alone and ignore the help around me. ”

Green invited Jonas to sit down on the couch and said with a smile, "Jonas, actually, I understand your concerns, you always think that you are too young, and then you are afraid to communicate with other partners.

But your biggest mistake is to misestimate our friendship with your dad and your dad's influence in our circle.

No one will risk offending me and Richie by taking advantage of you when there is not enough temptation to benefit.

No one will deal directly with you, the junior, because we are a unit, and they also grow old one day.

If their descendants become lambs after losing their protection, then who would dare to rely on us as a collective?"

After being educated by Green, Jonas did not feel ashamed, but said a lot of compliments as a junior and young to get closer.

Last night, there was some warning in Green's words, and Jonas believed that this was not Green's intention.

It's more likely that someone in the circle saw the promise of Jonas' plan and wanted to get involved, and then put some pressure on it.

Jonas thought about it all night and figured it out. Since I was meant to pull everyone in, why hide it.

If you offend some people because of your avoidance now, then the real gain outweighs the loss.

So, since they're going to join now, it's worth it to let them join, even if it's a part of the dominance that goes on because of that.

At least, no one will stumble on themselves, and there are many more supporters.

Soros in the nineties

Launching the Thai Baht Raider, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many international speculators behind him, I am afraid that he would have been swallowed long ago with his personal strength.

His real classic case is the speculation of the pound in '92, and in '97, he actually acted as a pioneer and scapegoat.

Speculating on the pound is a real business game, and in '97 the political factor was too obvious.

So, no one really hated Soros during the pound hype of '92, but after '97 he became a public enemy of Asia.

Jonas is willing to bring others along, but he will never allow himself to be a scapegoat.

"Uncle Pincas, I am still very new to this circle, so I want to learn from you. ”

Green smiled and said, "I can't do anything about this matter, you should go to Ursula for the most suitable thing." All I can do is help you arrange a pitch meeting to get everyone to accept you.

Jonas understood that although the organization was loose, it also had a detailed division of labor.

Seeing that Jonas understood, Green smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Every capable member will be valued by us. And every capable member will also be recognized by others. Jonas, I hope to see you really grow one day in the future. ”

This meant to end the conversation, and he promised to arrange a pitch meeting, and Jonas had already achieved his purpose of coming to him.

For specific matters, he should go to Ursula now.

When he said goodbye to Green, he said, "Jonas, I have to say, your vision is very accurate. Not only Milkan, but also Mark and I value your talent for international situation analysis. I'll probably come back to you more often in the future......"

Jonas laughed, "I'm trying not to disappoint Uncle Pincas. ”

After Jonas left, Pincus picked up a phone on his desk and dialed it. "Mark, your judgment is very accurate, and Jonas has a confidence and confidence that I can't understand. If he can really keep up the confidence we have in him, he is a very suitable successor. ”
