Chapter 396: A Strong Alliance

To be honest, Tang Feng is not very interested in this kind of drinking party, but there is no way, Bush personally invited you, if you don't come, it will be too bad for the future president of the United States.

Although it is not yet clear who will win this year's election, including Benjamin and Chris, they are more optimistic about Jeb. Bush, though now Jeb . Bush is still behind Hillary Clinton in the polls. Clinton, and even another candidate in the Republican Party, Donald Clinton. Trump, but now that the final election is more than half a year away, who can say for sure the final result?

Moreover, the views of Benjamin and Chris basically represent the views of the families behind them, and the presidential candidates who can make the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family optimistic are not ordinary people? Besides, it is not uncommon in history for candidates who were leading in the polls before the final election to be overturned, so if you look at data such as polls now, you can't say that it is useless, but no one dares to say what the effect really is.

Don't forget, Jeb. Bush's background, the Bush family not only has a huge family fortune, but the most important thing is that their family has produced two presidents, and both are still alive now, and this kind of political influence alone is far from being comparable to other presidential candidates. And as far as Tang Feng knows, at present, Jeb. Bush has not yet entered the stage of real force, so to speak, once Jeb . Bush really began to exert his strength, so with his campaign funds that surpassed that of other candidates and the terrifying political influence behind him, it is really difficult to determine who will die in the end.

Besides, Tang Feng is still a Jeb now. A member of Bush's behind-the-scenes team, although he was never in charge of anything, he was one of the few people who had been invisible at the back to fund the entire team. That's right, as far as Tang Feng knows, except for himself. There are also several super-rich people who are also working for Jeb. Bush's behind-the-scenes team, such as the one who was working with Jeb Bush. Bush talks about the laughing Michael. Mr. Dyer.

Tang Feng didn't know a lot about politics, so he didn't want to get involved too much, like participating in this kind of drinking party, Tang Feng met with Bush's father and brother, and chatted with Governor Greg and his idol Arnold for a while. I was going to go straight back to that corner of the hall and continue chatting with Chris.

Rather than chatting boringly with these politicians, Tang Feng prefers to talk to Chris about starry sky exploration.

But when Tang Feng walked to that corner, he found that there was an extra blonde young man. This young man is very good-looking, and seems to be familiar with Chris and Benjamin.

Seeing Tang Feng coming back, Benjamin greeted Tang Feng, and after Tang Feng sat down, Benjamin smiled and said to Tang Feng: "Tang." Let me introduce you to a friend, this is Andrew. Resemble. Mellon, Andrew, this is the wind we just mentioned to you. Don, you can call him Tang, he's a Chinese, and he's a tycoon."

Andrew. Resemble. Mellon stretched out his hand with a smile, shook hands with Tang Feng and said, "Tang." Nice to meet you, I was thinking about it just now. Who is this person who can make the Bush family pay so much attention, and now I know that you are good friends with Benjamin and Chris. ”

"Hello, Mr. Mellon, I'm glad to meet you too."

"Don, just call me Andrew like Chris. We're friends from today, aren't we? ”

"Well, Andrew, I'm also very happy to be friends with you. But forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, I can tell from your last name that you should be"

"Hehe, Don. There's nothing to hide, yes, I'm from the Mellon family. I live in New York and have been invited here today to attend a reception. ”

Chris said with a smile on the side: "Don, Andrew and I and Benjamin are all friends, you know, the old families are not the same as before, in our great-grandfather's generation, those old families in the United States are fighting their own battles, you circle a piece of land, I occupy a mountain of separate affairs, and there is little interaction with each other, but later those antitrust guys were broken by each other, which led to the decline of our old families." However, the elders of the family have learned those lessons, and now we old families are all close to each other, so we have been good friends since we were young. ”

Hearing this explanation, Tang Feng was also shocked in his heart, this young man who looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen turned out to be a member of the Mellon family. Among the eight major families in the United States, the Mellon family is known as the most low-key family, but the power of the Mellon family is something that no one dares to underestimate, not to mention anything else, the Mellon National Bank, which is now controlled by the Mellon family, is the world's largest financial securities firm, and its assets under custody have already exceeded 18 trillion US dollars! Not to mention Alcoa, the world's largest aluminum company under the name of the Mellon family, Goodyear, the world's largest tire company, as well as well-known companies such as Amco Steel, Rockwell International, General Reinsurance, and Gulf Oil.

To be honest, the Mellon family is definitely the kind of super family that can go hand in hand with Rockefeller and Morgan, compared to the DuPont consortium, which is a little weaker, not to mention the Kuhn-Lobb consortium, which has been squeezed out of the top ten by the first Citibank consortium, the Texas consortium and the Bank of America consortium that emerged after the war.

Unlike the Mellon, Rockefeller, Morgan and DuPont family such family-style consortia, the other six major consortia of the top ten consortia in the United States are not family-style consortia, so in comparison, this kind of old family-style consortium is more cohesive.

And after the antitrust movement, these old families have begun to pay attention to mutual communication, as Chris just said, now these old family names of the business, are no longer controlled by a single one, but cross-shareholding between each other, the use of this cross-shareholding, so that several old families are closely linked, and even formed a larger network and circle of influence than before.

For example, the Mellon family's Mellon National Bank, whether it is the Morgan family or the Rockefeller family, holds a large number of shares in it, and similarly, the Morgan family's JPMorgan Chase and the Rockefeller family's Chase Manhattan Bank, and several other major families hold a certain percentage of shares in it.

What is a strong combination? This is the true sense of the powerful combination! (To be continued......)
