Chapter 760: The Idea of Forming a Consortium!
……
The next day, Liu Dong did not go to the preview held by Christie's, but stayed at home with Ivanka.
John Harriman suffered such a big loss last night, although Liu Dong guessed in his heart that the other party would swallow this breath in the face of life and death threats, and when he was not sure of his details, but speculation is speculation after all, and there is still an accident, in case this arrogant chaebol heir wants to find trouble with him, then Liu Dong should be prepared early!
There was some surprise, but it was reasonable that Liu Dong didn't notice any danger signals for a whole day.
"If there is still nothing to do after three days, then the Harriman family is almost settled!" Liu Dong said in his heart.
But even so, his heart is still not calm, and the pressure is even greater!
Because in the whole Skull and Bones Club, the Harriman family is only one of them, others such as the early American opium kings, the Taft family, the famous American railroad and arms tycoon Whitney family, the Bush family, the spokesperson of the American oil and arms dealer group and is now serving as the president of the United States, the famous American railroad and financial tycoon Ponty family, the American chemical giant Lord family, and the famous American and even the world's super-rich Rockefeller family!
And in addition to these old super chaebols, there are many elites in the American political and business circles in the Skull and Bones Club, although they are alone compared to these big families. I wasn't very interested in the key in Liu Dong's hand. But if these big families who are determined to win the key will make it difficult for Liu Dong. I'm sure the members of the Skull and Bones Society won't be stingy with a favor.
If this is the case, then Liu Dong should not think about developing his subsidiaries to the United States in the future! It will be difficult to even enter the European and American markets.
This is definitely not what Liu Dong wants!
And his enemies are not few, especially the Yamaguchi-gumi, when he doesn't solve the other party, he doesn't want to provoke the more powerful Skull Society!
"Alas, I don't know how many of these super chaebols who control the United States are interested in the keys in my hand, even if there are one or two more, it will be enough to stand it!" Liu Dong showed a look of struggle on his face, after flipping the quaint and huge six-section key in his hand. "If you really can't do it, it's good to hand over the keys and get the right chips!"
In the face of such strong pressure, Liu Dong also had the idea of compromise in his heart.
After all, it would be unwise to go toe-to-toe with so many wealthy lords for the sake of a key that might be associated with the 'Great German Treasure'!
And with only a key, in the absence of other clues, it is not possible to bring him the last accumulated wealth of Nazi Germany, the difference between the pay and the return is too great, and any sane person understands how to choose.
"Then it's up to whoever has more chips!"
Come to think of it. Liu Dong finally let go of a heart!
Nevertheless, but for the first time in the face of compromise under strong pressure. It still makes Liu Dong feel like eating a dead fly, which is disgusting and uncomfortable!
At the same time, it also woke Liu Dong up from the situation that had been smooth sailing since he got the relics Yuanguang. made him realize that although he had had super wealth that no one else could get in his life for more than a year, his strength was still too far behind those wealthy families who were really at the top of the world pyramid!
Even if he has a good relationship with Li Yuncong and Zhou Bin, has the support of Li Lao behind him, and has Del Roosevelt, a year-old friend with a deep background, abroad, these are destined to be just networks, not his own strength!
It can only be borrowed, not used as a battle at a critical moment!
Thinking about these clearly, Liu Dong naturally thought of how to improve his strength and status, and in the case of being destined to be unable to enter politics, developing in the business world is undoubtedly the best, the fastest, and the most suitable way for him.
If he can also become a world-class chaebol, I am afraid that even if the Harriman family knows that the key is in his hands, at most it will have an attitude of seeking cooperation, instead of threatening him by the door in a grand manner like yesterday!
However, if he wants to become a real super chaebol, he can't do it with the jewelry and hotel industries he is engaged in now, and real estate is possible, but it is still worse than steel, technology, chemicals, petroleum, minerals, aviation, banking and finance, which are related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
And judging from the growth experience of super conglomerates around the world, almost all of the core industries they control are heavy industrial assets, as well as the core banking and financial industries!
Industry and banks are also the two legs that make up the super chaebol, and both are indispensable!
If Liu Dong also intends to move to the top of the pyramid, from a chess piece to a chess player, and respected, and not just an entrepreneur and collector, then it must develop its industry and expand further to form a consortium.
But the formation of any consortium is slowly accumulated over a long period of time, and Liu Dong is obviously unwilling to wait for such a long time.
Therefore, the only thing that can accelerate the formation of the Liu consortium is a large investment, and the investment requires a huge amount of money.
Money is not born out of thin air, but Liu Dong, who has the relic, can find wealth the fastest.
Most of the treasures that Liu Dong excavated in the past were of the nature of being at ease with encounters, and rarely took the initiative to find them.
Now, with his thirst for precious art and money, Liu Dong has the idea of actively searching for those treasures that have sunk in the sea and hidden on land for the first time.
Of course, these are all for later, but the most important thing now is to participate in the Christie's auction in front of you!
"Dong, do you think I'm dressed like this?"
While Liu Dong was sitting on the sofa pondering, Ivanka walked out of the room.
"Pretty, my Ivanka is naturally beautiful, she looks beautiful in everything!"
Looking at the slim cheongsam wearing a white background with broken blue flowers and full of oriental charm, wrapped in transparent crystal stockings on her round and full thighs, wearing beige 5-inch high heels, and matching her long golden shawl hair, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a tall figure with bumps and bumps, Ivanka Trump's ultimate charm made Liu Dong's eyes light up, and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Liu Dong's appreciation made Ivanka happy in her heart, and after turning around, she threw herself into Liu Dong's open arms and offered her own fragrant kiss.
'Women are pleasing to themselves', this sentence is a universal truth.
Smelling the quiet body fragrance on the tip of his nose, feeling the delicate and concave in his arms, and the soft sweetness on his lips, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little impulsive in his heart.
If it weren't for the upcoming Christie's auction, it would be a little too late in time, Liu Dong would definitely correct the silky stunner in front of her on the spot, so that she could feel the majesty of Chinese men who are several times stronger than African buddies.
"Tsk, let's go, or we'll be late!" Liu Dong said after pushing Ivanka away with difficulty.
"Hmm!"
After responding lightly, Ivanka, who was flushed, stretched out her lilac tongue and licked her red lips, the charming style, and the extreme glamour almost made Liu Dong unable to control it.
"You little goblin, I'll clean you up when I come back!" After shaving Ivanka's tall nose, Liu Dong pulled the smiling beauty out of the door!
Christie's auctions were still held at the Hilton Hotel, and by the time Liu Dong got off the red Porsche with Ivanka, there were already many media reporters gathered around, and a red carpet stretched straight from the door to the interior of the hotel.
This situation is similar to the red carpet of the Hollywood Oscars, although it is not the first time for Liu Dong to participate in the auction, he has never experienced this kind of battle!
But in comparison, Ivanka is much more calm!
"Look, supermodel Ivanka Trump!"
"Who is the man next to her, haven't you heard that Miss America has a boyfriend?"
"Big news! Miss America, supermodel Ivanka Trump's boyfriend is Asian!"......
Accompanied by the sound of surprise or joy, the surrounding camera flashes sounded continuously, and even several people with microphones remembered that they wanted to continue to rush forward, but fortunately, there were many bodyguards arranged by the hotel this time, so that Liu Dong was not harassed.
Despite this, Liu Dong still frowned, he likes a low-key life, he really doesn't want to be put under a magnifying glass like those movie and TV stars to watch every day, even on the street, going to a shopping mall, you have to wear a mask like a thief, if this is really the case, then what is the difference between it and going to prison, this kind of day is not what Liu Dong expects.
So he didn't stop after getting out of the car, and strode directly into the hotel with Ivanka.
"Ivanka, I didn't expect you to be so famous, they all seem to know you?"
Throwing these annoying memories outside the hotel door, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to ask.
"Hmm!"
Nodding his head, after hesitating for a while, Ivanka said a little apprehensively: "Dong, don't you like it?"
"No, it's just a little unaccustomed to it!"
Liu Dong originally wanted to persuade her to devote more energy to her studies at Wharton School, but thinking of the differences in living habits and philosophies between foreign and domestic schools, he still didn't say this sentence.
Hearing this, Ivanka Trump also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was really afraid that Liu Dong would have something strange about her because she was a model and shuttled under the spotlight.
"I heard that the thinking of Orientals, especially Chinese, is very conservative, I don't know if East is like this, and there is his family!" Thinking of this, Ivanka's heart became troubled again.
"Maybe I should consider a new career!" Ivanka thought.
