Chapter 192: The Two Ko Brothers
Since the death of Brazilian driver Elton Senna, who won the Formula 1 World Championship three times in 1988, 1990 and 1991 at the Formula One World Championship on May 1 this year, German racing driver Michael Schumacher has become a rising star in Formula 1.
Senna took the lead from pole position, and Schumacher pursued her fiercely from behind, putting pressure on Senna.
On lap six, Senna suddenly lost control of the car while passing the corner, and slammed straight into the parapet at a speed of 310km/h, killing Senna a few hours later.
Although car accidents were a common occurrence on the track, Senna's Williams team and Schumacher's Benetton team also had a feud with them.
Han Xuan smelled the strong smell of gunpowder from afar, asked Rice to learn the reason, and muttered that it was no wonder that it was the same as a fighting, and he would blow up when he saw the other party.
"You can't blame the Williams team, in the qualifying session two days before Elton Senna's death, Austria's Roland Latzenburg lost control and crashed into the wall, breaking Ratzenberg's neck and killing him instantly. ”
Rice said with a lack of interest: "The loss of two good racing drivers in a row, the people of the Williams team are uncomfortable, and they always have to find an outlet, and now it seems that Benetton is." ”
'Isn't that better, it's going to be a good game today. Owen laughed heartlessly, provoked the back of the head, and ignored him.
"Han Xuan, come here, I'll take you to meet someone. Guo Muzhou stood on the side of the road and waved and shouted.
Han Xuan turned around, trotted a few steps, and asked him, "Who are you going to see?"
"Mr. David Koch and Mr. Charles Koch, today's game was run by their brothers and should be nearby. ”
"Who are these two people? Han Xuan asked.
The roadside was full of people, and my grandfather was afraid that he would get separated. Hold his hand: "...... Do you still want to learn how to do business?
The two brothers, who are now tied for the richest people in New York, inherited from their father the Wood River Oil and Refining Company, now known as Koch Industries, which focuses on oil, energy, chemicals, and timber.
I had a relationship with them at the rubber company at the time, and I met a few times after selling them, but they didn't kick me out of the house. ”
"Who else dares to chase you?" Han Xuan said in surprise.
Guo Muzhou half-hugged him. "It was impossible at the time, but now it's hard to say, in recent years, the world's energy demand has grown, and Koch Industries is getting bigger and bigger."
They are privately owned like your grandfather, and they will not go public when it comes to death, and more than 90 percent of the shares are in their brothers, and Koch's market value is almost $18 billion this year, and it is still growing rapidly.
Donald Trump, whom you saw yesterday, was in front of them, gasping for breath and not daring to make a sound. As for his status in the Republican Party, President Clinton should also say hello when he sees him, and now you know why he has the confidence to kick me out. ”
"I've never heard of it when I'm so famous. Han Xuan thought for a long time and didn't remember that he had heard of such a bullish character, so he asked.
"You think everyone is like your grandfather, so angry that you hang a picture of yourself in Times Square? They are very low-key, and there is no one to mess with in the United States that can do oil and energy business, and the most famous is the Rockefeller consortium.
If you know that Koch Industries has a lot to do with this consortium. I guess you can get to know them more deeply and be polite when you meet them. ”
Guo Muzhou said with a smile. I found several cars parked on the side of the road, among which there were several bodyguards standing at the door of the RV, and they saw someone approaching and came over to stop them.
The other party was just about to speak, when Owen screamed and rushed over the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. Turning around, he said, "They've got guns!"
"I know! idiot!" Gabriel saw the other party pull out his gun, and quickly reached out from the back of the waist, and confronted several bodyguards opposite, which was near a park and sheltered by trees. No one noticed the scene yet, and shouted, "Man, we're bodyguards too!"
"Well, we're here to visit Mr. Koch. Guo Muzhou said that he had no malicious intent.
When Han Xuan saw so many guns, he was not frightened but felt excited, both sides were well-trained, and the muzzles of the guns were pressed down at the same time, there was no danger.
"Put it down, the boss knows him. The RV door opened, and a middle-aged woman who looked like a secretary said to the bodyguards.
Owen understood that there was trouble when he saw the guns drawn on both sides, and quietly let go of the person pressing under him, and the guy glared at him, and stood in the line where the gun had been collected.
Gabriel and Rice also put away their guns, Guo Muzhou nodded, said sorry to the bodyguards, and pulled Han Xuan into the car.
The RV is spacious, with red floors and five TVs above the bar, which look like they look like they went out of the Lincoln tunnel.
"It's been a long time, and as soon as I came, I put down our bodyguards, and it seems that the business is doing a lot. A white man in his fifties with glasses said.
Just like white people see that yellow people have face blindness, Han Xuan can't tell the difference between the two brothers, only in their dress and hairstyle.
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Charles. Guo Muzhou said, sitting on the leather bench by himself, pouring himself a glass of red wine, and seemed to be quite familiar.
"This is my grandson. After saying to the two brothers on the sofa, he said to Han Xuan: "He is Charles Koch, and David Koch." ”
"Hello, gentlemen. Han Xuan's expression is as pure as it is pure.
The most lethal to the elderly is the child, next to David Koch praised: "It's the grandson of Mr. Han of the SOS Group, how old is this year, boy?"
Asking about age between adults is considered an invasion of privacy, which will make the other party uncomfortable, but there is no such concern for children, Han Xuan replied: "Well, eleven." ”
David nodded, got up and poured him a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, while Charles was talking to Guo Muzhou: "What are you doing now? At that time, the cooperation was very good, the rubber company suddenly changed, I gave him two orders, but the quality was not up to standard, and then it turned into a cooperation with DuPont's subsidiary, and I heard that your company was about to close down in a few years." ”
"Well, I didn't do that anymore and started a small film company. Guo Muzhou spoke.
"It's a shame, it was good to do it at the time. David turned his head and said: "It's good to be like you, I'm tired of being busy with the company's affairs every day, but it's a pity that my brother and I don't fight for it." ”
"You're too relaxed with them, you have to be strict, throw them out and hone them for a few years, and there will definitely be improvement. The boy's grandfather looked at Han Xuan after speaking, looking proud.
How can it be seen that they are all billionaires worth more than 100 million, like ordinary old people, they have been talking about their children, and occasionally talking about business matters.
After a while, the children's secretary went out to answer the phone, stood at the door and reminded softly: "They asked if they could start, the time is up." ”
"Well, good. ”
Charles nodded and smiled at Han Xuan, "Take you to see the game?" (To be continued.) )
