Chapter 168: Speaking of European and American consortia and families
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Cappus? ”
"Boss, the fact that the people of the two families can talk to you very happily is enough to show that we have attracted their attention, in this case, then our future actions ......"
Hearing this, Lin Yu also reacted, but no, the fact that the people of the two major families attach importance to themselves is enough to show that they have entered their eyes, so wouldn't their actions in the future be exposed under their noses.
Lin Yu hadn't thought of these things before, but he didn't expect these two families to be so unfriendly, and it was really hard to find someone to expose.
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect it to be like this.
Seeing Lin Yu's appearance, Kapus hurriedly said: "Actually, boss, even if they don't find you, I'm afraid we have already attracted their attention, since they sent you an invitation letter, it has already explained all this, and now that the two major families have found you, I am afraid they are expressing goodwill to you." ”
Lin Yu nodded: "It can be seen that Rockefeller Jr. and Harris are showing kindness and testing, and these two guys are really not vegetarians." ”
After speaking, Lin Yu seemed to remember something and asked, "Do you know the surname Welf?" ”
"Welf?" Cappuz frowned and said, "It's rare." ”
Lin Yu nodded, frowned and said, "I always feel that I have seen this surname somewhere, but I just forgot to see it there." ”
Capps frowned and thought deeply, and suddenly Capps remembered Jason and the others, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Boss, I know." ”
"Got it? Let's talk about it. Lin Yu's eyes also lit up, Lin Yu was still very curious about the identity of this Elena, and it could be seen that Harris Morgan also treated this chick with some respect.
"Boss, if you want to talk about this Welf family, you may be a little unfamiliar, but if you want to talk about the British royal family, you will definitely know it." Capps said with a smile on his face.
"The British royal family? What does this have to do with the British royal family? Could it be that the Welf family is the British royal family? Lin Yu wondered.
"The same can be said, but, to be precise, the British royal family should be a branch of the Welf family." Cappuz nodded.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked unconvinced: "You mean, the British royal family is a branch of the Welf family?" ”
Kapus nodded, "If that's right, it should be." ”
Lin Yu suddenly became foggy and muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder...... Shall I just say it? This chick's identity should be noble, otherwise that arrogant Harris? How could Morgan be so polite. ”
When Capus saw Lin Yu like this, although he was curious, he didn't bother Lin Yu, just sat quietly and drank coffee.
Lin Yu thought for a while before he came to his senses and sighed: "I didn't expect that girl's identity to be so noble." Then he looked at Cappus and said, "Go on." ”
"The Welf family is an ancient family in Germany in Europe, the members of the family once served as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and there were many grand dukes in the family, and the territory of the Welf family was probably half of Europe, so the Welf family has always been regarded as the world's top consortium, that is, it is stronger than the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, and the most important point is that the Welf family is a real nobleman, and it is also a grand duke. However, after the First World War, this family retreated into the background, so few people know about this family now. Capps said.
About this, it was still something that Capuz had seen inadvertently while he was working, otherwise he wouldn't have known about it.
Lin Yu smacked his tongue when he heard it, this Welf family is too strong, no wonder this chick is so confident in speaking, is it powerful.
Thinking of Elena, Lin Yu didn't see a trace of a princess from her.
"Looks like I've been lucky." Lin Yu smiled bitterly.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Hearing Lin Yu say this, Capus asked.
"I didn't expect the girl I talked to all night to be a princess." As he spoke, Lin Yu told Cappus what happened at the party.
After listening to Lin Yu's story, Kapus also smiled bitterly, this is really lucky, otherwise how could such a bloody thing happen to the boss.
"I thought that the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family were already top families, but I didn't expect that there were so many families behind them, and it seems that the world is still very complicated." Lin Yu sighed.
"Most of the families hidden behind the scenes are some ancient nobles in Europe, in fact, there are not many such families now, many nobles were involved in the First World War, which led to the decline of the family, and now there are only a few hidden families, and their strength is not necessarily strong or anything, most of them are very Rockefeller and the Morgan family, or even worse." Capps said.
Lin Yu nodded, he still knows a little about the collapse of many consortia caused by World War I and World War II, in his previous life, Lin Yu liked to read some financial books, and those books inevitably talked about some families, so naturally Lin Yu knew some things, but his memory was not so profound.
Capps continued, "Boss, if you're right, that Elena? Miss Welf should be a little princess, and if the boss can take her down, I believe we will at least ten or even twenty years less struggle in the future. ”
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, and still took her? Such a little princess's vision is higher than anyone else's, and she also needs the other party to be a nobleman, which is not something that Lin Yu can compare with a small outburst.
"It's better to be free, you said it, the Welf family is a nobleman, and I'm just an upstart now, and I can't get into their eyes." Lin Yu waved his hand and said.
Kapos smiled, just said it casually, he didn't care about the result at all, it was good to be able to succeed, and it was nothing if it couldn't.
"Boss, how do you feel about attending the party?" Capuz changed the subject.
"I can only say that our little capital is nothing in front of others." Lin Yu smiled bitterly.
I'm afraid that Lin Yu and the two worlds together have not been hit as many times as in the past two days.
Kapus also smiled bitterly, this boss, that's how you feel when you go on a trip?
"Boss, haven't you noticed that these families or consortia basically have their own banks?" Capps asked.
Lin Yu nodded, it is true, whether it is a family consortium in the United States or those families in Europe, they basically have their own family banks.
"My original plan was to buy a bank after speculating on the Canadian dollar, but I didn't expect the UK to disrupt my plans, so I had to postpone it." Lin Yu said helplessly.
Capuz smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, if we want to build a consortium, then I can only buy a big bank." ”
"Big bank?" Lin Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Isn't it okay for small and medium-sized banks?" ”
"Boss, to be honest, those small banks are of no value at all, even medium-sized banks." Capps replied: "We have to buy the big banks to give us peace of mind. ”
Seeing Lin Yu looking at him suspiciously, Capus said with a wry smile: "Boss, there may not be many others in the United States, but there are definitely no banks, there are almost more than 10,000 large and small banks in the entire United States, but there are only a dozen banks that can really support a big family." For example, the Rockefeller family's Chase Manhattan Bank and Citibank, Morgan's JP Morgan Bank, Mellon Consortium's Mellon National Bank, and Boston First National Bank of Boston Consortium, California Consortium's Bank of America, Chicago Consortium's Bank of America, almost one of the top ten American consortiums in the United States has a big bank in its hands. ”
Lin Yu frowned, he didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to establish a family.
"Therefore, boss, every consortium should have at least one big bank as its financial core in its hands, and rely on it as the consortium, after all, money is the safest only in its own hands."
"Wouldn't a medium-sized bank work?" Lin Yu asked.
Capples smiled bitterly and said, "If the medium-sized banks were possible, then the DuPont family would not have gone to such great lengths to acquire large banks." ”
"Generally speaking, a consortium, without a financial core is definitely the biggest bad pen of a consortium, there is no big bank to raise funds, there is no financial core to dispatch funds, there will be a lack of necessary funds for outward expansion, can not expand outward, then the consortium can not develop, and the consequence of not developing is that it will gradually be swallowed up by other consortiums, so the DuPont consortium will continue to rely on the Morgan family's funds. However, if the boss wants to build a family, that's a different story. ”
"Isn't this consortium different from the family?" Lin Yu asked puzzled.
"It's completely different, generally speaking, a family only needs to develop its own family business, it doesn't matter whether there is a bank or not, as long as it maintains a good relationship with some banks, but my opinion is that if the boss wants to build a family, he still needs a large bank." Capps said.
"Why?" Lin Yu asked.
"Having a large bank is mainly conducive to the dispatch of family funds, so that you can quickly liquidate funds, rather than putting the lifeblood in the hands of others, so that when other families deal with the family, you don't have to worry about the bank dragging its feet or stabbing you in the back." "As for the small banks, they are of little use to the family, and they may be useful under normal circumstances, but they may be fatal to the family in an emergency, so I asked the boss to buy a large bank. ”
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, you said that there are not many large banks, how can I buy them.
