Chapter 447: To Austria!
The Federal Reserve System of the United States, which is responsible for the performance of the central bank of the United States, was established in |913 under the Federal Reserve Act. This system consists mainly of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Open Market Committee.
The Federal Reserve of the United States is another name for the Federal Reserve System of the United States.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (OFED) is the highest monetary policy authority in the United States, responsible for the custody of commercial bank reserves, lending to commercial banks, and issuing Federal Reserve Bills. The FED is organized in three tiers, with the highest being the Board of Governors, under which are the two Federal Reserve Banks and the member banks of each Reserve Bank.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is based on [independence] and [checks and balances]. In terms of checks and balances, the seven members of the Board of Governors (including the Chairman and Vice-Chairman) are nominated by the President and subject to the approval of the Senate. Decisions on monetary policy, such as raising or decreasing the rediscount rate, are voted on by a collegiate vote, one person, one vote, and by [secret ballot], with the Chairman's vote usually cast for the party that already has a majority. The president can nominate the board of directors, chairmen, and vice presidents, but once approved by the Senate, he can serve for a term of 14 years, and may serve up to five presidents.
In terms of independence, FED is best known for its independence in personnel and budget, and in addition to the Board of Governors, it also has a Federal Open Market Operations Committee (FOM), which is responsible for longer-term monetary decision-making and conducts foreign exchange operations in accordance with the Foreign Exchange Guidelines, authorized operations of foreign exchange operations, and foreign exchange operating procedures.
Due to the strong position of the US dollar in the international currency market, the intervention of the US Federal Reserve in the foreign exchange market has attracted special attention from the foreign exchange market. When the yen rises sharply due to the trade surplus, it is best for the Bank of Japan to get the assistance and cooperation of the Federal Reserve if it wants to successfully intervene in the foreign exchange market.
Everyone knows that the Federal Reserve is the lifeblood of the United States, but few people know that in fact, this so-called lifeblood of the United States is not controlled by the US government at all, but by the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family control a total of 80% of the shares of the Federal Reserve, and the work including issuing dollars or controlling the exchange rate is not under the control of the US government, and many presidents of the United States have tried to nationalize the Fed, but have not succeeded. Some even paid with their lives, the most famous of which was John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States.
In 1963, Kennedy, who had been in office for three years, distinguished himself in both domestic and foreign affairs. Not only did he successfully deal with the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Crisis, which had plagued the U.S. government since he took office, and eased the tense and confrontational relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, but he also won the love and support of more and more Americans for his policy of moderate support for the people. Facing a new presidential election in 1964, Kennedy planned his trip to Dallas in order to help his Democratic Party raise money for its campaign and prepare for the company's succession.
In order to give the enthusiastic citizens of Dallas a glimpse of the president's husband, Kennedy's Lincoln sedan was not equipped with a bulletproof cover, and the citizens saw the president in their hearts as they wished, but also ruthlessly threw him in front of the assassin's gun. 2 noon; 00, the presidential motorcade drove into the city of Dallas at a slow speed of 15 kilometers per hour, and the citizens showed great enthusiasm for the president's arrival. The presidential motorcade first entered Houston Avenue from the entrance to Dealey Plaza, then turned left to Elm Street, 2; 30; 30 As Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, waved to the townspeople, a rapidly flying bullet was embedded deep in Kennedy's throat, followed by a fatal second, this time hitting Kennedy in the back of the head.
A few minutes later, Kennedy was lying on the operating table, but succumbed to his injuries and died at 1 p.m. CT.
It is also said that the pastor who performed the last rites for Kennedy, Toulù, was on the way to the Pillar Hospital, and the president was already dead.
But no one knew that this was the consequence of Kennedy's desire to nationalize the Fed, and after that, even though there were presidents who wanted to do it, they were undoubtedly warned that it would not happen.
"From now on, you must remember one thing, that is that Huaxia Lin Yu is our family's biggest enemy at this stage."
The old patriarch stood up, said such a sentence and slowly left the conference room, after the old patriarch left, the people below immediately discussed, only the father and son Dele and Harris, who looked down, did not say a word.
Dele has been cultivated as the heir of the patriarch all these years, and all he has learned and done is to control the overall situation, so it is a dream for him to earn back 2.5 trillion dollars in a few years, even Clay, who is in charge of the military, has more advantages than him.
"Father!"
Harris looked up at Dele, and hurriedly glanced back at his son, who had lost the confidence he had in Harry's new eyes, and was now dazed and panicked in his eyes.
"Harris, don't resent your grandfather, there is such a thing in the family, as the patriarch of your grandfather always has to give an explanation to others, and besides, you may not be able to come back after driving out of the family, you first work hard in the company below, this is also a kind of exercise for you, you have to remember that you will always be the best son of the Morgan family." Dele said seriously.
As a patriarch heir, Dele may not be very qualified, but as a father, Dele's approach is undoubtedly the most appropriate, and these words are nothing more than telling Harris that since the patriarch can drive you out of the family, then a word can recruit you back, even if your grandfather can't, the next generation of patriarchs may be yourself, can you still be outside as the son of the patriarch?
Europe, Austria.
Lin Yu, who stepped off the plane, looked at this with some emotion, it was the first time for Lin Yu to come to Austria, the base camp of the Habsburg family.
At the beginning, the patriarch of the Habsburg family made up his mind to hide the Habsburg family, which was such a decision, so that the Habsburgs are still the most noble family in the world, and it is also the most mysterious family, and Lin Yu is also curious about the Habsburg family.
"Mr. Lin Yu, my name is Locke, and the Grand Duke specially sent me to pick you up!"
Locke has been waiting for Lin Yu at the airport, for so many years, Locke is still the first time to come out to pick up someone, even if the people of the Rockefeller family come, they may not have this treatment, it seems that the master also belongs to this Mr. Lin Yu.
"Thank you, Mr. Locke, the Grand Duke is so polite, in fact, don't bother you, we can go over ourselves."
Lin Yu shook Locke's hand with a smile on his face, feeling the body temperature and youthful breath on Lin Yu's hand, Locke also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The young man in front of him is really a very amazing person, no wonder he can achieve such brilliant results in less than ten years, no wonder the old man can treat him differently. Before this, Locke had never looked down on Lin Yu very much, although Lin Yu was very rich, although the young lady also had a good impression of him, but Locke always felt that he was a nouveau riche, or a young nouveau riche, and they could not be compared with an aristocratic family like them that had been passed down for generations.
This gamble made Locke completely change his opinion, the Habsburgs at the last moment were despicable means to destroy the opponent, but the previous guesses were all made by Lin Yu alone, and the result could be predicted completely accurately before the game, Locke believed that this was not something that ordinary people could do, Lin Yu, the young man, also slowly rose a special sense of mystery in Locke's heart, and most importantly, now the young lady likes him, and the master seems to be very interested in him, This is by far the most likely young man to become the son-in-law of the Habsburgs.
You must know that if you become the son-in-law of the Habsburgs, then he will basically wear the title of nobility on his head, and the title of the Grand Duke Xiao Ji must be inherited, so that one of the children of the two will inherit the Habsburg family, which is extremely important for anyone.
Such glory, not to mention a young rich man, is that big families like the Rockefellers and the Welf family are eager to get.
"You're a guest, and it's entirely as you should have been when I came to pick you up!"
Locke lowered his head and smiled, Lin Yu was not polite, and followed Locke into their car, Lin Yu came to Austria this time at the invitation of the Habsburg Grand Duke, and did not inform anyone else, but even so, almost all the rich people in the world as long as they were at the upper level knew about it, and they all looked here, what everyone wanted to know most now was what the Habsburgs invited Lin Yu for.
Is it to deal with the Morgan family? Everyone was not sure, because it was very easy for the Habsburgs to deal with any family, and there was no need to win over a young man, even though he was a little richer.
The matter of Lin Yu's trip to Habsburg quickly spread among some well-intentioned people, and the people of the Rockefeller and Morgan families also knew about it, and they might have paid great attention to various analyses before, but now no one cares about this issue, and they are all busy competing for the patriarch. The Habsburgs stayed for three whole days, and as for what Lin Yu did and said in the Habsburg family in the past three days, except for Lin Yu and the Habsburg family, no one else knew.
Three days later, Lin Yu left the Habsburgs, and the people who followed Lin Yu obviously felt that Lin Yu was in a very good mood, and he always had a mysterious smile on his face.
