Chapter 358: Entering the house
The United States is a country of liberal democracy, which is advocated by the wealthy neighborhoods of New York. There is a tradition in the United States that children are cut off from financial resources when they reach the age of eighteen and are required to go to society to live independently, which is the elite education advocated in the United States.
In fact, this is also the first idea of the wealthy in the United States, provided that their children receive the best education from the beginning and have assets that can be squandered. Many wealthy Americans donate their net worth or even all their net worth, that is because the United States has various taxes against the rich, and the controllers and beneficiaries of these foundations are all wealthy families, which is the United States.
Lin Fan came to the United States and looked at Dimon very calmly, although he already knew that things were not going well and he was secretly preparing, but he was not ready to show it immediately, which would make the other party's appetite bigger and bigger.
"Things didn't go as we expected, and there were irresistible factors. ”
Lin Fan took a sip of coffee, "I remember the last time I left the United States, you told me that the negotiations had entered the final stage. ”
Damon sighed helplessly, "I don't want to do that either, but God doesn't listen to prayers all the time." ”
"So, what are we going to do? Give up?"
Dimon shook his head, confused, he didn't know what to do. In fact, he didn't know why something went wrong, and he had always wanted to be at the helm of Citi to wash away his shame, but he was told that it was impossible.
Lin Fan looked at Damon's gloomy appearance, it really didn't look like pretending, if this old man was pretending, he could only say that his acting skills were too good.
"Is there any chance of saving?"
"In fact, I don't know what to do. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Dimon pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Do you know what Citibank's predecessor was?"
"Before the merger of Citibank and Travelers Group?"
"Of course. ”
Lin Fan was silent, thanks to the development of the network in later generations, some people continued to disclose some historical truths. For example, the Federal Reserve, as the central bank of the United States, is not actually controlled by the United States, it is a private bank controlled by seven families. This means that people all over the United States are spending their money.
If the U.S. government wants to get a loan bailout from the Federal Reserve or make other fiscal spending, it must be guaranteed by future tax revenues from the American people.
And the Fed's seven giants are actually from the top Wall Street bankers, and their families control the basic and industrial resources of the entire United States.
One of the founders of the Federal Reserve is called George Baker, and Citibank, formerly known as First City Bank of New York, is controlled by the Rockefeller family, and Rockefeller and Morgan are the two camps that control the Federal Reserve. Subsequently, City Bank broke away from Morgan and acquired Morgan's First National Bank with the support of the Morgan family, and the president of First National Bank was George Baker.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Fan was a little puzzled, "Citi itself belongs to the Morgan camp, and Mr. Da Mo has already spoken, why is there an accident?"
Dimon was taken aback, "You know?" This can't help but be surprised by Daimon, unless he is a top figure in the American banking industry, it is impossible to know this, and for a while, Lin Fan suddenly became unfathomable in Damon's heart.
"Know a little. ”
Dimon was expressionless and continued, "Fortunately, Citigroup has broken away from the Rockefeller family, and fortunately, Citibank is not absolutely controlled by Citigroup, otherwise we wouldn't even have to talk now." ”
"It seems that the matter is serious. Lin Fan is still very calm, in fact, not only will he not give up this opportunity, but even Dimon will not give up, otherwise the two of them will not sit here.
Dimon tapped the table, pondering his words in his mind, "Since you know a lot of things, you must have thought about the difficulties you might encounter. Although Citibank merged with the Travelers Group around 2000, Sandywell was not actually the controller of Citigroup, he only exercised management power, and the majority shareholder of Citibank has always been Citigroup, which cannot be disguised.
Although Citigroup is in the same camp as Morgan, it actually has considerable independence. You must be aware of the cause of this economic crisis, but it's ridiculous that you take the money that belongs to them and buy their things, isn't it?"
Lin Fan did not speak, since the establishment of the Bank of England in 1694, almost all the economic crises in the world have hidden the figure of bankers. Because the Bank of England, as the central bank of the United Kingdom, is effectively controlled by the Rothschilds, in other words, their monetary rights are privately controlled. Subsequently, with the help of Rothschild, Morgan and Rockefeller established the Federal Reserve of a private nature.
Since then, and 1837, 1857, 1873, 1884, 1893....... In the same way, bankers have long seen the emergence of a serious bubble in the overheated development of the economy, which is the inevitable result of their continuous easing of monetary policy.
And in this subprime mortgage crisis, Lin Fan never believes that there are no big bankers behind the scenes. Every economic crisis is a process of the banker raising fish in the fish pond, when the banker releases water into the pond, it is to relax the monetary base, inject a large amount of money into the economy, and after getting a large amount of money, all walks of life begin to work hard day and night under the temptation of money, and strive to create wealth, which is like a fish in a pond trying to absorb nutrients, and the longer they grow, the fatter they get.
When the banker sees that the harvest is ripe, he suddenly tightens the money and pumps water from the pond, and the fish in the pond can only wait for despair to come. Bankers can buy monopolies on promising companies and accumulate all kinds of wealth, and Lin Fan is indeed snatching food from the tiger's mouth. You must know that only a few banking giants know the timing of the harvest, but it is Lin Fan, an unexpected person.
"What do I have to give?"
Dimon shook his head, "I know exactly what they want from you, or they would have rejected me, but I don't know what they want at all." ”
"Then we'll just have to wait?"
"That's what you see. ”
At this moment, Damon's phone suddenly rang, "Hello, who is it?"
Lin Fan didn't know whose call Dimon was listening to, but he could see that Daimon's expression was constantly changing, and when Dimon hung up the phone, it seemed that Dimon was still in a daze.
"What's wrong with you, Damon?"
"We might have a chance!"
Lin Fan heard the suppressed ecstasy from Dimon's tone, "Good news?"
"There's a mysterious Mr. Baker who wants to invite you to the ball. ”
"Prom?"
Dimon nodded heavily, "Lin, maybe since you participated in this ball, according to you Chinese people, you have entered the hall." ”
"This gentleman?"
Dimon shook his head, "I don't know much, but I know that you are the first Asian to be invited by this family since it was born more than a hundred years ago. ”
