Born into a Jewish family during World War II, Macridge fled Europe to the United States under the guidance of his family during the war, and entered the circle of commodity trading by working as a mailer for Phelps Brothers. Through decades of struggle, it has become a living legend.

As early as during the Korean War, when he was still a newcomer, he made a lot of money by hoarding tungsten wire, and after the outbreak of the conflict between the United States and Cuba, he also took advantage of the US blockade of Cuba and the opportunity that Cuba's various materials could not be sold, and completed his own capital accumulation.

When the establishment of the Bretton Woods system determined the market position of the dollar in the international economy, the world energy market entered a stage of steady development. At that time, the crude oil market was almost monopolized by the seven largest energy companies in the West, and it was he who created the spot model of commodity trading, breaking through the monopoly of the seven sister companies on oil.

The largest customer of the crude oil spot trading he founded has always been the United States, but because he has never taken a position for the sake of business, the business has been trying to catch him since 74 years.

It was also around this time that he founded the Rich Brothers company in Zug, Switzerland, the predecessor of today's Glencore, because of the low taxes here. As a result, a legendary era began, which has led to Zug's current market position.

In the late seventies, the U.S. government arrested him for tax evasion on crude oil, because he supported the regime of Ayatollah Khomeini to seize control of Iran, and deprived the United States of Iran as an important political ally. However, many governments such as the former Soviet Union, Israel, Switzerland, and Spain have been protecting him, and his bodyguards are all elites arranged by Israel's Mossad.

He is the top 10 most wanted criminals wanted by the United States for 15 years, but until now, the US government still has nothing to do with him. If there is really a person in the world who fights against a country and also wins, and this country is still the United States, it seems that Macridge is the only one who has done it.

He built the world's most powerful network of informal, independent mineral traders, with more than half of the world's countries trading with him.

Although the United States wanted him, it had no choice but to trade with him because it needed the resources under his control. Although CIA agents sent agents to try to capture him many times, they all ended up in vain.

Even now, he still travels leisurely in Switzerland, not afraid of the pressure of the US government. Although he rarely appears in this office, the fact that he dares to blatantly hang his sign here is enough to make everyone admire.

In addition to this, he is also a behind-the-scenes figure in many national mafias. However, these are rumors, unproven, and the wine that can be confirmed does support many rebels and guerrillas, relying on this artificially created conflict to create a soil for him to trade.

It's just a guess that before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he borrowed 100 billion rubles for 100 billion dollars, and then the rubles fell 10,000 times, and his income was much more than that of the richest man in the world

But he is also a philanthropist, and his donations are innumerable Israel, Spain, Switzerland and many other governments, all of which beg him to go to his own country to live in many places, and he is a king behind the scenes.

It is rumored that he supported Castro's Cuban Revolution, it was he who supported the Iranian Revolution of the Khomeini government, as well as the Angolan riots, the apartheid in South Africa, and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, he is a demon in the eyes of some people, and an angel in the eyes of others. He is also a notorious warmonger, and in his heart, there is no motherland, only business objects, which is what he is most criticized for.

But all of this only proves that he is a great figure, a legendary figure. From a refugee to a big man who can influence the international economy and social upheaval, Macridge has definitely achieved the ultimate in one's life.

Although it was impossible to meet Macridge here, Chen Mo was already satisfied. As an oil man, Macridge is the benchmark for everyone, including him. Chen Mo didn't dare to expect to be as successful as him, if he could reach half of his level, it would be enough to be proud.

Originally, he had never thought about it, because Macridge's success had gone beyond the stage where ordinary people could learn, and it had become so unattainable. He is like Microsoft's Bill Gates, although everyone envies his success, but who really takes him as a role model for themselves?!

But after getting Lang Yufu's memory, the little desire in his heart gradually became erect. I have 16 years of experience ahead of the times, and although I am not willing to give up other joys in life because of work, it seems that it is not so difficult to become a person who is relatively successful in my career.

However, how to develop and how to find a balance between career and life, he hasn't thought about it yet, so let's just go with the flow.

Two kilometres north from the street in front of the train station is another small town, Barr, and to the east between the two cities, an I-shaped white four-story building stands quietly behind a row of trees.

Liu Xiong parked the car on the side of the road and opened the door. "Let's come down and have a look, I can't take you in without an appointment, I can only take a look outside."

"This is Glencore's corporate headquarters?" Chen Mo looked at this ordinary building, and couldn't figure out how the headquarters of a large multinational group with annual sales of tens of billions of dollars was so "shabby".

"This is still a building that Glencore has just built, and if you had come here before, it would be an ordinary red brick three-story building, only a little bigger than our liaison office."

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and said: "If such a big company is in China, it is eager to enclose thousands of acres of land and build the world's tallest building to show its magnificence." ”

"It's a different idea, for these people, it's good to have a place to work. Sitting on a chair for 20 dollars, their mouths may be talking about a $20 million business. Anyway, these Europeans, in addition to being more particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, they don't care about many other things at all. Last year, I visited Ferrari's headquarters, and their factories were in tatters, many of which were red brick factories built during World War II. But it was in such factories that they produced the most perfect sports cars in the world. ”

"You also like sports cars?"

Liu Xiong smiled: "How many men don't like it?!" If you want to enjoy it, you don't need to buy one. There are many car rental companies here, all of which offer high-end sports cars for rent, and although the cost is a little higher, the average person can afford it. ”

Chen Mo said regretfully: "It's a pity, I don't have time this time, when I have the opportunity, I must enjoy it." ”

Just as Liu Xiong said, there are few men who don't like the excitement and pull of sports cars, and Chen Mo is no exception. However, if you want to buy a sports car in China, the financial resources that few people can afford.

Chen Mo remembered that the first Ferrari in China was bought by Li Xiaohua, a Ferrari that was less than 200,000 US dollars abroad, plus tariffs and surcharges, the price in China reached more than 3 million, which was twice as high as abroad.

Liu Xiong asked, "Which brand of sports car do you like the most?" ”

Chen Mo said without hesitation: "Ferrari! ”

"Why?"

"The Lamborghini is too brutal and sharp, the Maserati is too feminine and doesn't have the impact of Ferrari, Porsche I feel like a Ferrari junior, and the Aston Martin British flavor is too strong. Anyway, I think that Ferrari is both flamboyant and restrained, elegant but wild, and has a more middle-of-the-road charm. ”

"It seems that your personality is more inclined to the golden mean, and I can't help it, and I prefer the wildness of Lamborghini."

Chen Mo flattered and said: "Director Liu needs a momentum in the business department, otherwise he will not be able to gain a firm foothold in Europe." Both of them laughed, and there was a sense of familiarity with each other.

The two men walked around the Glencore building, talking about the latest sports cars. This is mainly due to the fact that Glencore was founded by Macridge, but due to a series of slumber performances in the nineties, and too much pressure from the United States, he has left the company he founded.

And although the current Glencore is still huge, Chen Mo doesn't know any of the people inside, and he has no desire to meet anyone. He came here just to satisfy his heart's desire and trace the path that Macridge once walked.

The dinner in the evening, at Kang Xuedong's insistence, was no longer so formal. Seeing that Liu Xia and Yiyi's spirit was not very good, Zhong Haitao did not insist, and asked the chef to prepare dinner according to the usual level.

After dinner, Chen Mo took Yiyi's little hand, and after a round in the yard, he walked around the village along the country road. In this tranquil atmosphere, time seems to have become leisurely, and the sun is on the horizon, persisting and refusing to set.

I met a few old people who were walking, and when they saw Chen Mo holding their hands one by one, they all showed a warm smile, either nodding or shouting hello. This kind of kindness also makes Chen Mo extremely warm, when he is old, he also lives in such a picturesque place, and spends his old age in secret, what a happy thing it is!

At that time, there should be an old wife by his side, thinking of Li Shan's appearance as an old man, Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Chen Mo came to his senses, until that time, it would take at least forty years, he had just spent a third of his life, why should he think about such a distant thing?!

One by one, he picked a small yellow flower from the grass on the side of the road, inserted one in his ear, felt that it was not enjoyable, picked another one, and beckoned to Chen Mo. Chen Mo squatted down, and she carefully inserted the little flower into Chen Mo's shirt pocket. "Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful!" The beautiful little flower accompanied her sweet smiling face, Chen Mo couldn't help but caress her delicate skin, her life was just like this little flower, so delicate, so fragile.
