707 Macridge's dream of amnesty
At this time, not only Li Feng was curious about Gordon Getty and Denise Richie, but in fact, the two were also very curious about Li Feng, after all, the rise of St. John Lee is well known, and it can be said that the rise in just 2 or 3 years has amazed the world.
Li Feng now has a resounding title, known as 'the person with the fastest increase in wealth in the history of mankind', it is really Li Feng's rise is too legendary, such a rapid rise journey, it really makes anyone sigh speechless, and even some people want to 'pick peaches' before they have time, and they can't catch up with the speed of Li Feng's development.
Just finished preparing and found that Li Feng's strength had changed dramatically, and he needed to reformulate his plan, and finally found that his plan was not as rapid as Li Feng's career development, and he hesitated a little, good guy, Li Feng has found a reliable ally in the United States and has completely gained a foothold.
Therefore, in the face of the legendary teenager who has risen so much in the United States, both Gordon Getty and Denise Ridge are full of curiosity, which also leads to a very funny scene, that is, Gordon and Denise are looking at Li Feng curiously, and at the same time, Li Feng is also curious to look at Gordon and Denise, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Poof... Okay, Gordon and Denise, we don't have to be so wide-eyed, let's just say anything. Seeing such a look, Li Feng was speechless in his heart for a while, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said to the two.
"Uh..."
"Haha..."
"Uh..."
"Hehe..."
"Haha..."
“...”
As Li Feng's words fell, Gordon Getty may have thought of all the things before, and he was also a little poor and funny, and Denise Ridge on the side laughed even more, which was regarded as relieving the siege between the two, and finally maybe he thought of the previous appearance, which immediately caused several people to laugh.
......
"By the way, Haipei, everything is going well with you over there in Washington, why did you come to Napa Valley this time?" Li Feng also changed the topic with a smile at this time, and asked Xue Haipei on the side.
"Oh... Since joining the company, everything has been going well, and this time I came to Napa Valley mainly to accompany Mr. Getty and Ms. Richie, Mr. Getty and Ms. Rich want to get to know the boss. Xue Haipei is also a shrewd person, and he also understands Li Feng's meaning of Central China, so he immediately pointed out the intention of Gordon and Denise, and said with a smile.
"John, you're a legend in California and even the West Coast now, and I happen to know Haipei, so I'll ask him to help introduce you and make friends. Seeing Li Feng looking at him curiously, Gordon Getty on the side suddenly replied with a smile.
"John, people in Washington, including Haipei and Woolsey, have been of great help to me, and I have come here to thank you this time. Denise Richie also said with a smile.
"Hehe... , the two of you are so polite, and it is my honor to be able to meet the two of them!"
“...”
Li Feng naturally won't underestimate the two, not to mention Gordon Getty, now the head of the Getty family may be very unfamiliar to many people in the Getty family, mainly because the family has been completely hidden, and the family members are very low-key.
But the power of the Getty family is by no means small, the previous patriarch of the Getty family was the richest man in the United States before the 80s - Paul Getty, once known as the 'Grande' of the United States, died in the 70s, and then entered the 80s, the Getty family completely low-key, and sold their main business, the Getty Oil Company.
But Li Feng knew that the Getty family was one of the important consortium families of the well-known California consortium, and it was this Gordon Getty who directly sold the family property, the Getty Oil Company, in the early 80s, for more than $10 billion at that time.
Although it is not clear how many shares the Getty family had in the Getty Oil Company at that time, since the Getty family sold the oil company, it has completely kept a low profile, and in the 8 and 90s, when all aspects of California were fully developed, this wealth was completely hidden through family trusts and charitable funds.
But Li Feng knows that the Getty family owns shares in the main businesses of these California consortia, including Loma Company and Bank of America, although these shares are not much, but in the case of the very scattered shares of these large companies, the Getty family is also one of the major shareholders and has great influence.
......
As for Denise Richie, since Li Feng learned a little about the life of the legendary Mark Ridge from some channels, Li Feng will not underestimate others.
Just kidding, being able to cross the East and West, in the fields of energy, minerals, and commodities, and getting to know the heavyweights of the East and the West during the Cold War at that time, it is conceivable that Macridge's energy, although it is not famous now.
Now Macridge is nominally wanted by the United States, but even if he is wanted, people are not still living in luxury houses in Europe and living a leisurely and top-level life.
Although Macridge completely sold his shares to his former subordinates, after all, today's Glencore is the former Macridge company, and Macridge has a very close relationship with this group of subordinates.
Besides, even if the shares were sold, who knows what kind of secret agreement they had in private, such as the nominal listing and sale of the shares, or maybe there was a secret agreement in private, after all, at that time, Macridge was forced to sell the company's shares, and he was wanted by the U.S. government worldwide, and the sale of shares may just be a cover-up.
"John, although your consulting firm has solved a lot of trouble for me in Washington before, but I hope to be able to get more help from you, Woolsey said before, I want the full help of St. John's Strategic Consulting, I need your approval, this time I came to you, I hope your consulting firm can help Mark, can lobby the government to cancel the global wanted against Mark. ”
"Hehe... As far as I know, Mr. Rich lives in a mansion in Switzerland, and the wanted of the American government is fooling the outside world.
"Hehe..."
Listening to what Li Feng said was so funny, Gordon Getty on the side couldn't help but chuckle.
......
Before the 80s, Macridge was mainly engaged in oil bulk trading, and the Getty Oil Company was also one of the large oil conglomerates in the United States at that time, so it was normal and perhaps even very familiar with Macridge.
It's funny to think about Macridge's situation today.
Although Macridge's mansion in Switzerland is also private, it is not out of strict secrecy, and if the American government does not know where Macridge lives, how is it possible, if it is really bent on arresting it, it is estimated that it will be done a long time ago.
As for why he didn't do it, it was actually Macridge's influence that was at work. At that time, Macridge's connections could be said to have penetrated to the top of the United States.
Because of the oil crisis at the beginning, it gave an opportunity for oil and energy commodity trading companies like Macridge to take advantage of, and Macrich was a guest of honor at the major oil companies in the United States at that time, although the American government said that it banned the import of oil from Iran and other countries, but it turned a blind eye to the transactions between Macrich and the oil giants in the United States.
From the oil giants to the military-industrial giants to the major conglomerates on Wall Street, it can be said that Macridge has a certain amount of influence. It can be said that many consortia in the United States do not want Macridge to be arrested, after all, these consortia had dealings with Macridge in the first place.
If you really want to pursue the problem of Macridge, then these consortia will inevitably be implicated, Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Getty Oil, etc., and the influence of American consortia is undoubted, which is one of the biggest reasons why Macridge can get away with it.
Of course, in addition to this part of the main reason, there is also the power represented by Macridge, Glencore Group is currently the world's largest commodity trading group, is one of the world's commodity trading behind the scenes, look at Glencore's partners, people are not cooperating with a certain company or anything, directly is the world's major countries, from the United States to Russia, from the Middle East countries to European countries, from Africa to Asia and so on.
It can be said that Glencore can be seen on five continents and seven oceans, and its influence can be seen, although Glencore has nominally nothing to do with Macridge, but what it is, only they know internally.
......
"BOSS, we all know that presidents usually have some amnesty places after they expire, and now Denise wants us to help Macridge get an amnesty place. ”
"Amnesty quotas?"
“...”
Perhaps this is Macridge's dream, which is to get the last amnesty quota for the zipper ton.
