Chapter 1064: Civil Strife
Even people have a few residences in New York, and they know that in this case, you and David. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoHearst should know it, too.γγγ
Jin Muchen pondered, to know that the Hearst family, but is famous for collecting antiques, the founder of their family, William. Hearst is a well-known antique maniac, and he has collected countless world-famous antiques throughout his life.
And that William. Mr. Hirst, but he is famous for collecting that kind of European antiques, the most exaggerated thing is that he built the Hearst Castle in California, in order to build the taste of ancient European castles, he also sent people to Europe to study, and even invited special designers from Europe, and also bought a few abandoned European castles from Europe, and removed the waste materials of those European castles, such as wall tiles or something, and shipped them back to the United States, specially built the castle.
Anyway, that guy's behavior can be described as extremely vicious, and in order to satisfy his thoughts, it can be said that he is absolutely willing to spend a lot of money.
Up to now, their family has been passed down for three generations in the United States, but the successive heirs of their family have retained the habit of collecting antiques, which has been nearly 100 years old, and it is said that their family has spent no less than 10 billion US dollars on antiques, so under such a premise, it is not surprising that Jesse knows the people of the Hearst family.
But what makes Jin Muchen even more curious now is that Jesse and Kate found out what would provoke the Hearst family to chase and kill, and they must have provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with this time.
"We took turns squatting outside of their homes, and I was also finding out about the Hearst family through other people, and it really made us discover. One of Kate's informants, who had worked as a maid in the Hearst family before, knew the situation of the Hearst family very well, but recently she happened to be unemployed, so we contacted her, and it turned out that there was a lot of useful information out of her mouth... β
Jesse continued at this time, Jin Muchen also came to his senses at this time, and it seemed that he was about to get close to the truth of the matter.
"You know, the Hearst family has been passed down to the present, and there are more than sixty direct members of the family, and these people are definitely a thriving family in the United States, but among these people, not every one of them has the talent for business, and even many of them don't even have the ability to keep it, and most of them are the second ancestors who only know how to eat and wait for death. If all the family property is handed over to these people, the final result will definitely be lost sooner or later. So when their family passed on to the second generation, that is, William Jr. When Hearst, the head of the family set up a family fund, and several funds they set up themselves, every year from the profits of the family business group, put a part of the money into this fund, and carry out some investment activities, and every year the members of the family, especially those who do not have the right to inherit the consortium, can receive a living allowance from this fund, so that they do not have to live that embarrassing life. β
When Jin Muchen heard this, he nodded, indeed this kind of family inheritance, he has heard of it for a long time, and it is also very popular in the United States, so the saying that the rich cannot be three generations is not valid in the United States, because they have found a more reasonable way to continue the family wealth.
Moreover, many large and small families in the United States will choose this method to continue the family's wealth, which is different from our country.
Although like China, many of those big families in the United States are also from the grassroots, but people are much more professional in dealing with wealth, if their own family really does not have a suitable successor, then people will choose a special professional manager to help take care of the family's wealth, and will never let the family's wealth be squandered by the descendants who are not angry.
In China, after many families get rich, no matter how uncompetitive their descendants are, they will try their best to hand over their wealth to their descendants, and they will never know that there is such a thing as a rapid retreat.
Americans are more open-minded, they know that the money in this world is inexhaustible, and their lives are over, but their children and grandchildren are not that material, so they will choose the family fund to continue their wealth.
China, on the other hand, will try its best to cultivate its own heirs, whether that person is that material or not, and the final result is often that within two or three generations, those wealth will be lost.
"And in this generation, the Hearst family has reached more than 36 billion US dollars in the size of their family's fund alone. And that's not all, this is just the money in their family fund, you must know that now their family also controls 15 daily newspapers, 36 weekly newspapers, plus more than 300 magazines, and a TV group with 29 TV stations, covering 18% of users in the entire North American region, in addition to they also have A+E Network Group, and many other sub-groups, and branches, the specific wealth involved in the Hearst Group, how much, no one has given a complete statistic now, but someone has probably made an estimateThe assets of the enterprise groups that their family is now on the surface must at least exceed 50 billion US dollars, and this is only on the surface... β
The numbers Jesse said already made Jin Muchen feel dizzy for a while, when he was hospitalized for saving Helen that time, David. Hearst's assistant, West, once gave him some knowledge about the Hearst Consortium, but at that time he was generally in the left ear and out of the right ear, and he didn't take it to heart.
I just know that this Hearst Group is a traditional big chaebol in the United States, and in the United States, where the rich are gathered, it is also a big chaebol with a good number, and there is money.
But today, when he heard Jesse give him such a popular science, he finally understood a little bit that the scale of the Hearst Group, although it could not be compared with the scale of more than one trillion yuan like that of Namei Fu or Da Mo, but this is his own private consortium.
To put it bluntly, this is a modern family business, not like Da Mo or Mobil Oil, which looks very large, but no one has an absolute controlling stake in it, you can have a few tenths of a percent of the shares, and you are the majority shareholder in that kind of company.
But this Hearst Group is different, although there are also shares of outsiders, but the Hearst family still accounts for the majority of this group, so that the gold content of their family's wealth is high.
Coupled with their family's family fund of more than 30 billion yuan, as well as so many real estate and antiques, as well as those assets that are public, especially those that are cross-controlled with other large conglomerates, that part of the general chaebol does not like to be announced to the public.
If this part is included, then the wealth of the Hearst family is quite terrifying, and this is not the most valuable thing of their chaebol, the most valuable thing of their chaebol is the television station in their hands that can cover 18% of the entire North America.
Those TV stations, but their channels for influencing the American people, are the key to their becoming the mouthpiece of the United States, and it is precisely because of the existence of these TV stations that any politician who sees the people of their Hearst family has to kneel and lick it, after all, if you make their family unhappy, they only need an order, as long as a TV station smears you, it is enough for you.
And other large American companies don't dare to offend, their family, and even in order to curry favor with them, they have to obediently come up with money every year to advertise here, otherwise one of them will be unhappy and give you some negative news, which is enough for you to eat and go around.
In this world, whether you are American or Chinese, as long as there are hundreds of millions of enterprises, which one has a clean ass?
So these TV networks are the core wealth of the Hearst Group, and the next thing, even if Jesse doesn't need to say it, Jin Muchen knows that it must be within the Hearst Group, because of the change of power, there has been civil strife, and Jesse's next words also confirmed his guess.
"We went to find that informant from Kate, and according to the man, now David. Hearst has not appeared in the Hearst Group for a long time, you must know that he used to be a standard workaholic, and he would appear in the company for more than ten hours a day, but recently, it has been almost half a month, and he has not leaked his face in the company, and even several very important shareholder meetings, he did not attend, and now within the Hearst Group, the person responsible for presiding over the work is Petty. Hearst, and Thomas Hurst, as well as Dylan. Hearst, the three Hearst, among them Petty. Hearst is David. Hearst's aunt, while Thomas and Dylan. Hearst is father and son, the two Thomas are David's uncle, and Dylan is David's cousin, and they are second only to David in the current Hearst group. The largest equity owner outside of Hearst. β
Listening to Jesse say this, Jin Muchen basically understood that it should be in the recent past, within the Hearst Group, there was a coup d'Γ©tat, and David. Hearst, it seems, should be in a bad situation, either out of ground or exiled.
No wonder the other party will attack Helen, it seems that this is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! So who did the three people who are now responsible for running the Hearst Group attack Helen? (To be continued.) )
