Sunday, March 18.

After a long gloomy weekend in Zurich, many people spread out a blanket and bask in the sun in the small park between the General's Dock Road and Lake Zurich.

Although they are only separated by one road, they are two worlds, and Jonas has been tormented by cumbersome personnel information for days, and his brain is in chaos.

The composition of interest groups is very complex, and they are divided into different interest groups according to different industries and different natures.

The group does not have a strict management system, but rather brings them together through four different partner firms.

The four partner firms are Rich International, Energy Trading Group, Seaman Investments, and Osai Resources.

Rich International is both oil and minerals, but because it was established first, it has received the most attention. At present, in addition to some large international deals, many transactions have been transferred to other companies.

The energy trading group's main dealings are focused on the oil sector, which includes major oil companies, energy ministries of oil-producing countries, oil exploration companies, technical service companies, and large and small oil traders.

The main business of Osai Resources is mineral resources, including coal and metals, as well as shipping, terminals and other businesses, and the composition of members is also very complex.

Seaman Investment is a newly established financial investment company after Yannick's death, and the main function of this company is to cooperate with spot production, transportation, and trade, and carry out risk hedging.

Because it's a partnership company, whether you invest $100 million or $1 million, everyone is on an equal footing.

Of course, because the amount of capital will affect its right to speak, there is no absolute equality.

The role of the Investment Management Committee is equivalent to that of the United Nations, with coordination among its members, but it does not have a mandatory management role.

However, all this does not mean that management is disorderly and chaotic, in fact, in many cases, there are no explicit rules, and the power of unspoken rules is even greater.

In the beginning, almost all of the members referred to themselves as "Rich Disciples", but the stronger disciples excluded some of the smaller members, and those formed a larger group, the "Rich Boys".

The Ridge Disciples and the Ridge Boys formed two distinct classes, ostensibly equal in status but with clear boundaries.

And these people are not all, because most of them are some traders.

Later, the entry of multinational corporations with greater power than them, the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of National Minerals, enriched the power of this interest group, and at the same time made the composition of the members more complex.

In those countries, the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Mines change their powers very quickly, and their agents change frequently, so most members can't tell the difference between them except for the registration on the side of the management committee.

Many members may have just established a friendly relationship with the agent in front of them, but he has become history. This personal friendship does not disappear because he is gone.

The frustrated may still have some power in their hands, or they may simply own oil fields or mines, so they may have established a trading channel outside of the government.

And, outside of these groups, there are some warlords and underground forces. For example, they controlled the diamond smuggling channels, and these forces could not be revealed, so they established secret channels outside the formal trading channels.

Jonas couldn't tell the difference between these networks alone, let alone memorize all the agents of each faction.

Oil companies, oil merchants, technical service providers, mineral merchants, state agencies, transporters, port managers, underground forces, warlords, these forces have woven an intricate web of transactions.

No one can control this network absolutely, not even Richie.

Although this network was established by him, when there are more and more members, a more reasonable trading order will be automatically formed, and Richie will lose absolute control.

For example, if two of the members make a transaction, it will not go through him at all.

He can't even control the two sides of the transaction like Taobao in later generations.

Of course, because of his role, everyone will give him some face.

Seeing this clearly, Jonas thought that he was still pursuing absolute control in the first place, which was particularly ridiculous, which is really the fearlessness of the ignorant.

The world doesn't work according to anyone's will, everyone is just a member of the multitude.

The superior has more control over resources and information than the lower, and it is already successful if they can use their own expertise and occupy more resources than others.

Closing the thick sheet, Jonas pinched the base of his nose, closed his eyes, and made his eyes turn ten times clockwise and ten times counterclockwise.

After a few more massages, Jonas opened his eyes and came to the window.

The park outside the window is bustling with people, but it's still cold, and there aren't many sails on Lake Zurich in the distance.

Look far away to relieve eye fatigue for a while. Thinking of the evening reception, Jonas's heart was filled with anticipation.

"Jonas, come and try on this outfit......"

Jonas sighed, turned around, and several women walked in with a piece of clothing in their hands.

Grandma Hannah, Lady Venus, and Neuer and Jonas' sister Helen, and his second aunt Ferrin.

Helen, who is the same age as Neuer, has also grown into a big girl, and she and Neuer both have outstanding beauty, so they can always be good friends.

But Helen's beauty is brighter and more Western, while Neuer's beauty has an oriental softness and is more restrained.

Helen also enrolled in Ross College last year, and Hannah paid for her tuition. She would have preferred to share a school with Neuer, but she was still living in Geneva last year, and it would be too far to go to St. Gallen, where Neuer attends.

But when Yankel returned to work at Hoffmann's private bank, the family was ready to move back into the main home.

Each of them had a matching outfit in their hands, all of which Jonas had made to order in Zegna, but in a slightly different style.

Jonas can not give face to anyone, but this Tid, who has booked the position of the future mother-in-law, can't not give face.

He deliberately pretended to think about it, and pointed to a pair of tweed-striped suits in Tid's hand. "Today is a formal business occasion, and I think a set of clothes that are more mature and restrained is more suitable for today's occasion. ”

Tidd seemed very happy even though he knew that Jonas was trying to please her. "From an artistic point of view, this outfit is not a good choice, but from today's occasion, it is more suitable for you who are only nineteen years old. ”

Jonas smiled: "Aunt Tid's paintings have always been my favorite, you have artistic cells that ordinary people can't match. ”

Helen secretly rolled her eyes and snickered at Neuer, apparently a little frustrated by Jonas's ass.

Neuer whispered softly, "Jonas, Helen and I also want to see today, can you let us stay here too?"

Feline and Tide immediately objected, "Don't even think about it, your age is not good for the family's reputation to appear at this kind of business reception. ”

Hannah comforted the two girls and said, "You can't think about this until you're sixteen, now is not the time for you to show your face." ”

If it was a business reception held by the DeHertz family, the fourteen-year-old Neuer might still be with his parents, but it depends.

Basically, with the exception of family balls with friends and family, underage girls are not allowed to attend business parties.

The two girls were a little frustrated when they saw that Jonas did not dare to support them. Jonas could only comfort and say, "You go to Aunt Agri's house first, and I'll be back when I'm done." ”

Helen pouted and said, "I don't want to play with a bunch of children." ”

Fei Lin said solemnly: "You are still a child. ”

Helen took aim at Neuer and wrung her in the face. "A child my age is going to become my sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Neuer was ashamed, but several women laughed.

Neuer saw that Jonas shook his head slightly, but with a doting smile on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart, and returned him with a sweet smile.

The phone rang in the room, and no one went to answer Jonas.

This is a suite reserved by Jonas in the headquarters, with only one bedroom and a small living room, and the telephone here is currently known only to the staff downstairs, and it should be looking for Jonas.

Jonas picked up the phone, and Wolf's voice came from inside. "Jonas, we're back. ”

Jonas laughed, "Uncle Wolfe, I'll come downstairs at once." ”

Descend the stairs to the third floor, where half of the area was reserved for Jonas's company, and the other half is now leased to Deloitte & Touche.

Today, half of the first and second floors, including the fourth and fifth floors, are leased to Seaman Investment, including the luxurious master bedroom on the fourth floor, which has three bedrooms, two balconies, and two living rooms.

The rents for the two companies amounted to 1.2 million Swiss francs per year, which would have paid for itself in almost 25 years, excluding administrative fees.

Wolf, who had returned from Dongying, had arrived at the company with suitcases and looked good.

As an economist, Wolf doesn't really have much ambition in the management of the company, and he doesn't care about the division of his power.

On the contrary, because the size of the company is going to be several times larger, he feels that it is more valuable to him.

A few of them were chatting eagerly with the company's left-behind staff, and they also gave a lot of gifts, and when they saw Jonas, they smiled and said, "Jonas, come, there are also your gifts." ”

He took out a bamboo folding fan nearly a meter long and smiled, "This is a Japanese specialty, I think it's good to hang it in your office." ”

Jonas smiled and opened the folding fan, which was painted with bamboo forests, several beauties in ancient costumes making tea, and several men drinking tea with their chests open.

He laughed. "The folding fan is a specialty of China, but Dongying is in the cultural circle of China, so there are many specialties that circulate with each other. The painting on it is the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, which is a historical figure in China. Thank you for the gift!I love it!"

Jonas shook hands with several subordinates who went to Dongying, and after a few condolences, he said to Wolf: "Let's go to the office and talk in detail!"
