Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reincarnation

Yannick and a couple of middle-aged men hurried ashore from the lake, and after a brief rinse, they put on their clothes and prepared to leave.

Their faces were gloomy and their movements were so fast that Jonas had no chance to get closer.

It wasn't until Yannick was about to get into the car that Jonas found an opportunity to say, "Daddy, say hello to Uncle Mark for me." The power of Armenia could not really bring him down. ”

Yannick squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be calm in front of Jonas and said, "I will be very busy in the next period, you must be obedient at home." ”

Jonas nodded and said with some concern, "I'll take care of Grandma." You have to be careful. ”

Yannick's big hand caressed Jonas's face and comforted him, smiling, "I'm engaged in regular financial operations, and no one pays special attention to me. ”

But how could Jonas not be worried, he had never heard of Yannick Hoffman in later life.

If he was an important figure among the Rich disciples, how could he not have a little fame?

Rich's followers call themselves Richie's disciples, a little further away from Richie's level, but his admirers also call themselves Richie Boys.

In later generations, the Rich Disciples, the Rich Boys, had at least more than 200 billionaires, and they became one of the most influential groups in the world's resource industry, and the power of this group made anyone, any country fearful.

As an insider, Jonas knew and heard of at least a hundred of Richie's disciples. But Yannick, the money manager who now plays a major role at Richie's side, was never heard of in later generations.

This is absolutely unreasonable!

Jonas suspected that Yannick had lost his strength because of his "suicide". But it is more likely that Yannick died in the Armenian assassination of Richie.

Another testimony to the decline of the Hoffmann family is that after the death of their neighbor Loire, the family's castle was developed into a tourist attraction by the town hall due to the absence of successors.

Although this white castle is not as good as the Gucci Castle on the top of the hill, it is also very famous in later generations.

Jonas was in a car accident while visiting the castle, which is close to the lake and has a children's playground.

If the Hoffman family is still strong, how can they allow their neighbor's house to become an amusement park and break the tranquility here.

Because of this, Jonas was worried about Yannick's safety, but he didn't know how to tell Yannick about this.

He can't say that he is a spirit of the Hereafter, passing through the body of his son.

Yannick and the others soon left, and Jonas's playfulness faded.

Grandma Hannah criticized him for being too impatient and let him enjoy his youth, but now in the face of an unknown crisis, how can he calm down?

But his strength is too weak, there is no chance to play chess at all, no matter how good he is now, no matter how strong the ability he shows, in the eyes of big names like Yannick and Macridge, he is just a child with potential.

Moreover, this level of struggle is not at all capable of participating.

At six o'clock, the sky was still bright and the sun was still in the sky, but the friends who had come to the party began to take their leave.

At noon, Hannah bought bread from the town's bakery, and the young people in the party cooked their own meat.

If so many people stayed in his house, they would not be able to meet the food needs of so many people without preparation.

Every time there is a big party, it is more tiring than fighting, the guests are gone, and what is left is full of devastation.

Since the 18th century, Switzerland has become a famous tourist destination in Europe, and has always paid great attention to environmental protection.

Garbage sorting is something that every child has to learn from an early age, and each type of garbage must be packed in different garbage bags.

Kitchen waste, ordinary dry waste, wet garbage, hazardous garbage, and recyclable garbage must be sorted, and if the garbage is mixed, a fine is a week's salary for ordinary people.

More than three times, sorry, have to be trained in the business, and face a huge fine. More importantly, they will be criticized in the community, and repeat offenders may even be expelled from the community.

Therefore, every time I clean up the battlefield and classify garbage, it is a big job.

Jonas and two bodyguards, a handyman cleaned up the battlefield, and Hannah and the nanny sorted the garbage until half-past nine, when the sun was about to set.

Everyone ate some of the food left over from noon, and one by one they began to rest, exhausted.

Jonas was half tired and half dead, but when he returned to his room and took a shower, he couldn't sleep again.

Macridge is now officially wanted, and for such a big matter, he also wants to know a little more about the specific situation.

He turned on the television in the room, a seventeen-inch color television with a wooden case, a Philips classic.

From the perspective of future generations, this TV is very backward, but in this era, this TV is already very good.

Switzerland is a country with four official languages, with its own television stations in German, French and Italian. At the same time, Switzerland also has landing licenses for TV stations in neighboring countries, so there are many TV programs in Switzerland, and there are several pure news channels.

Today's international news really broadcasts the US wanted Macridge as an important news, and the French news channel has also launched a special news about Macridge.

Most of what he gets when it comes to his arrest is sympathy rather than hatred, because everyone understands that Macridge is only wanted because he has violated Armenia's core interests.

The main reason why European countries are on Ritchie's side is also because the oil environment has entered a new round of reincarnation.

Since the fifties of the nineteenth century, when the first industrial oil wells were built, the oil industry has been developing in a cycle of nationalization and privatization.

Sixty years ago, all oil companies were privatized, and oil development technology was monopolized.

In 1921, the Soviet Union began to fully nationalize, confiscating private capital, including private oil property, into state property, and forming an oil industry with a planned economic system under the direct management of the government.

The reason for the nationalization of oil in Western societies is very strange now: in 1922, the plane of the commander of the Argentine Air Force was about to take off, and the foreign oil companies refused to refuel the plane on the grounds that the Air Force had not paid cash.

In a fit of rage, the Argentine government founded YPF, the world's first national oil company, and thus opened the prelude to the nationalization of the oil industry in Latin American countries.

In 1938, Mexico, the third largest oil producer in the capitalist world at the time, nationalized the oil industry, "sweeping all foreign oil companies out of the house", causing a sensation.

More and more countries are recognizing the benefits of nationalizing oil, and even the developed countries themselves have begun to form their own state-owned oil companies.

For example, Italy founded the Ajep Petroleum Company and later Eni Petroleum Company.

France formed the French oil company CFP, which later became Total. And also formed the Elf Aquitto company, integrating technical strength, wanting to break the technical blockade of the seven sister companies

The monopoly and control of world oil by the seven sister companies (Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Mobil, Texaco, Chevron and Gulf Oil) has seriously affected the energy supply and national security of countries around the world.

The nationalization of oil in the Eastern Bloc, led by the USSR, affected the whole world.

Subsequently, Austria, Norway, Spain, Finland and other Western countries also began to take the road of oil nationalization.

In particular, nationalist sentiment is high in those major oil-producing countries, dissatisfied with the colonialist plundering of the "Seven Sisters of Oil", and using oil nationalization to safeguard their own oil rights and interests.

Its main purpose is to force the big international oil conglomerates to agree to raise the tax burden and profit-sharing ratio through a struggle.

You must know that the Seven Sisters have a complete monopoly on the oil resources, production, trade, transportation, refining, sales and prices of oil-producing countries, and all countries are vulnerable except for them.

In 1954, the Persian struggle for the nationalization of oil became the hallmark of this round of nationalization. However, this struggle was later suppressed by the British and American forces.

However, the international situation is irreversible, and the rise of nationalism in various countries cannot be solved by repression.

Eni of Italy and Amoco of the United States pioneered a new model of cooperation between international business companies and national oil companies, which had a huge impact on the concession system.

Before the fifties, the Seven Sisters discovered the wells and rented them out, and then plundered most of the profits, and the oil-producing countries received only a negligible tax revenue.

The traditional colonial oil concession system has been abolished, the hegemony of the major international oil companies has been destroyed, and more than 75 percent of the world's oil and gas resources have been transferred to the national oil companies of oil-producing countries.

The relationship between the major international oil companies and the national oil companies has been transformed into a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, with the oil-producing countries becoming the owners of the oil

From the fifties onwards, the struggle became more and more intense, and it was because of this struggle that traders like Rich had a chance to survive.

After the 70s, the victory of nationalization of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East set off a change in the world oil pattern.

But the opposite is true, and the wave of nationalization of the world oil industry has passed, followed by a wave of privatization.

The rapid growth of BP poses a great threat to the private companies BP and Shell.

The conflict of interests between the national oil company and the private oil company has intensified.

Since Armenia could not resist nationalization, it simply began to lead privatization again and divide the resistance.

Jonas is well aware that from the 80s, the wave of world oil privatization began to rise, and in the next decade or so, privatization became the main theme of the world oil industry.

But there is a serious problem with privatization: the growing role of traders like Mr. Rich, the more popular they are with oil-producing countries and the more they represent their encroachment on the interests of powerful countries such as Armenia.

So, he is now wanted.

(This chapter is a description of the general environment, and although some book lovers may find it boring, it is essential because it is the background of the whole book.) )

(In addition, some book friends are asking, talking about oil, maybe why there doesn't seem to be oil in this book?) What the old demon wants to say is: black gold not only refers to oil, but also represents the mastermind behind the capital market.) The protagonist will be involved in the oil industry, but not just the oil industry. This can be seen from the setting of the protagonist Banker's heir...... )
