Chapter 0286 - British-style housekeeper

December 31, nearly eight o'clock in the evening French time, the main study of the first family's large estate outside Paris.

Listening to his father's words, Ron smiled: "It is indeed a supercar group, and the fastest sports cars in the world are basically produced by Luster Automotive Group." However, they pursued pure manual production, and the output was very small, and the six brands of cars together could not produce 300 cars a year. The car production line was instead used to make trucks, and as a result, a logistics company was created for the Sith department store. The Luster team also sniped the teams of German car companies in Formula 1, and the teams of German car companies had not won the championship since eight or nine years. ”

"Its profits are divided into three parts, with a net profit of less than $50 million for sports cars this year, less than $10 million for trucks, and less than $10 million for fleets. The old man smiled, "Less is a little less, but the brand value of the cars in the Lust Automobile Group is extremely high, and it is indeed okay to rank fifth." ”

"Miss Ferdinand also has two cards in her hand, one is the Unicorn Rubber Company, which used to be on the Dow Jones Industrial Index, but then it declined and was removed. Also in '89, Miss Ferdinand bought the Unicorn Rubber Company and split it into two, one part normal operation and one part dedicated to the development of high-quality tires for the Luster Automotive Group. "But the results of its evaluation showed that it could only produce tires for sports cars traveling at speeds of less than 400 kilometers per hour, and it definitely didn't produce tires for Miss Mediz's supercar at 600 kilometers per hour." ”

"Its net profit is less than $20 million, and it has no cutting-edge technology, so it is not aggrieved to rank sixth. The old man said.

"The other fourth-biggest card is a little bit special and is an institution. Ron said, then asked, "Father, Bart's Bank, you know?"

"The Bart family's bank was opened earlier than ours, but the Bart bank does not take deposits, and its scale has never increased, and today, two hundred and thirty-four years later, the total assets are only more than 10 billion US dollars. The old man sighed, "I really don't know what this family is thinking, two hundred and thirty-four years, even if it only grows by five percent per year...... Pity. He continued, "I remember that at the end of February '95, Bart Bank lost $1.4 billion due to the failure of traders to speculate in excess of derivatives, while the Bart family's own assets were only a few hundred million dollars. Bart Bank was supposed to be liquidated, but Bart suddenly took a sum of money to make up for the loss. Could this be ......?"

"Yes, father, it was Miss Ferdinand who did it. Although the Bart family has its own assets of only a few hundred million dollars, he has five hereditary titles, that is, five sets of butlers, and Miss Ferdinand is interested in this. "Miss Ferdinand signed three teams of butlers and bought an institution that trains butlers. ”

"I really didn't expect this Miss Ferdinand to be quite discerning. The old man smiled, "An aristocratic family without an orthodox British butler cannot be called a real aristocratic family." The butler team of the Bart family has been cultivated in the past hundred years, ranking seventh, which is good. ”

"Miss Anne Ferdinand's company is these seven. Ron said.

"By the way, I remember when she bought Manchester United and sold it out. The old man asked, "Why?"

"It is said that David Beckham bought it because he was handsome. Ron laughed, "It may have been used to anger Mr. Bartlet, so she sold it later." ”

"I see. The old man smiled, and then asked, "By the way, how much are the total assets of the two of them, and how much do they add up? How many are supported by the Good Mood Foundation?"

"Mr. Bartlet has about five and fifty billion dollars, and Miss Ferdinand has more than three hundred billion dollars. Ron said, "The Gardley Oil Company brings more than $10 billion in net profits to Miss Ferdinand every year, and most of Miss Ferdinand's assets are earned back by the Caldis Oil Company, and the support of the Good Mood Consortium is no more than 100 billion dollars, and Mr. Bartlet's Michael Entertainment Group is losing money every year, and most of his money is supported by the Good Mood Consortium." ”

"In other words, it's only fifteen billion dollars, but what about the rest of the money?" said the old man, "and this money is only the net profit of the Golden Yao Department for a year. According to my calculations, the Good Mood consortium has at least 300 billion dollars, or even trillions of dollars, out there, and all of them are in the United States. Because our family's power is relatively weak in the United States. ”

Ron didn't answer.

The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any companies in the United States that are not listed on the stock exchange, but which are closely related to these two people?

"There are many of them, and Mr. Bartlet's are all right, and Miss Ferdinand has access to many of them through the Sith department store. "If it's Gards Oil, it's even bigger." ”

"No, it's too troublesome to manage like that, and there may be betrayal after a long time, so the money will only be managed by a few people, and it must be a big group. By the way, it can also be counted from the time, from April '83, Mr. Bartlet's resignation, no, push forward another year, April '82. Since then, the company that has changed hands and is now a large scale," the old man said with some surprise after thinking about it, "Guangmei World Aviation Group and Huo Xiu Aerospace Group. ”

"Shhhh ”

"It's not about strength, that's not what I meant. Waving his hand, the old man smiled, "I am surprised by the target chosen by Mrs. Miko, Guangmei World Aviation Group has always been an aircraft company that Americans are proud of, and the founder of the Hoshu Aerospace Group has always been an idol in the hearts of the younger generation of Americans." ”

"In this way, the relationship between the Good Mood Foundation and the Americans is even better than we thought. Ron said.

"It's long overdue. The old man said, "It is already obvious that Mrs. Miko will take Miss Mei Daiko to the United States to see the nuclear test." ”

"Although Guangmei World Airlines Group has been delisted, it still discloses the most basic information every year. Ron said, "The Hooh Aerospace Group is very troublesome, it has never disclosed information and is a military enterprise, and it is very difficult to investigate." ”……
