After the wedding feast, the guests left, and Lux and Charlize returned to the hotel with their children, along with Bell's wife and Ham's al-Fahim's female companions, but they did not leave.

In the basement conference room of the manor where Carrick got married, Su Zhen and the other five sat around the round table.

"Ahem, welcome to the Avengers" Su Zhen knocked on the table gently, but the words he said made the other four almost catch their breath, and they all glared at Su Zhen with some dissatisfaction, this is a waste of their expressions.

"Ha Luha, just kidding, enliven the atmosphere, don't be so serious" Su Zhenle waved his hand, and then instantly changed his face, "Now let's talk about business" It seems that among the five people, he is now in the position of leader.

"Since you can come this time, then I believe you should also carefully consider what I said, I don't know what you think" Su Zhen asked, although they were nominally here to attend Carrick's wedding this time, but in fact, their more important hidden purpose was to discuss the preparation for the economic crisis that will begin next year.

At the earliest, Su Zhen was ready to make a fortune on his own, with his accumulation, it was not difficult to make a fortune in this world-wide economic crisis, but with the change of status and wealth, Su Zhen was no longer limited to being a rich man, he wanted to go further, he wanted to become a member of the top consortium, to become one of the controllers of the American economy, and to do this, as a first-generation immigrant, the quickest way, but to do this, It's very difficult to rely on himself or the Su Group, so he needs a partner. And the partners he chose are his five friends, among which Carrick represents the power of the United States, as one of the old consortiums in the United States, although it does not have its own bank in the United States like other consortiums, but its influence in the United States cannot be ignored, and Hamm on behalf of Dubai and Alpha Sheem on behalf of the Abu Dhabi consortium have huge financial backing, which is also what Su Zhen needs, and now the group assets of the Su Group have nearly 100 billion, and Su Zhen's personal assets have exceeded 50 billion, In this year's Forbes, he has tied for the first place with Bill Gates. But Su Zhen said that this seemingly huge wealth is still not enough in front of the top consortium in the United States, and although there are so many personal assets, it does not mean that Su Zhen can use so many funds, in fact, Su Zhen can only use about six billion US dollars now, and this seems to be a small number. It may be possible to make a lot of gains in the economic crisis, but it is not enough to achieve the goal, so the UAE royal family, which has a huge amount of money. is obviously a very good partner, and in order to let them join in with confidence, Su Zhen also took out some of his assets as a guarantee.

Of course, Su Zhen was not arrogant enough to say that he was going to control the Federal Reserve or anything. Because that's simply impossible, a behemoth like the Federal Reserve can't be controlled by a single force. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the largest of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco.

In the last century, the Reserve Bank of New York was owned by Citigroup 15%, Chase Manhattan 14% (Rockefeller), Morgan Trust 9%, Hanover Manufacturing 7% (Rothschild), and Hanhua Bank 8%, with a total of 53% of the shares, and the rest of the shares were held by a number of other families and bankers, including the oldest family in the United States, the Mellon family. That is to say, in fact, the biggest controller of the Federal Reserve is Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Mellon, especially with the development of the times, the Rockefeller and Morgan families have moved from confrontation to union, the biggest proof is that in 2000, the merger of Chase Manhattan and Morgan Trust became the current JPMorgan Chase, and among these four old families, Su Zhen is difficult to get involved, so Su Zhen's goal is naturally placed on Citibank, as for what is not Hanhua Bank? One is because the shares of the Chinese bank are small.,But the origin of this Chinese bank is not simple.,In fact, this Chinese bank has a lot to do with the Chinese.,This will be said later.。

"In fact, my financial analysts have calculated that the probability of the economic crisis you are talking about is very high, but the specific time cannot be judged, but based on your successful judgment in the financial market, I choose to believe you, by the second half of next year, I can mobilize about five billion dollars." The first to speak was Hamm, in recent years, according to Su Zhen's reminder and his control, Dubai's world has begun to purposefully reduce various large-scale projects, although this can not make Dubai completely free from the impact of the economic crisis, but the loss must be reduced by David, at least in the absence of an economic crisis, the current cash flow in Dubai has been temporarily stabilized, so Hamm believes in Su Zhen very much, and the five billion US dollars he said to be mobilized are not national assets, but royal assets, You must know that the national assets and the royal assets are fundamentally two different things, so even if the country is short of funds, it does not mean that the royal family's funds are also in short supply. However, these five billion funds also account for almost one-third of the assets of the Dubai royal family, you can imagine how huge Hamm's support for Su Zhen is, and after Hamm finished speaking, everyone else nodded, they have also consulted their own economic analysts, and the result is that there is a possibility of an economic crisis, but this is enough, after all, this kind of thing is unpredictable, in fact, this is also a kind of gambling, if you win, then the benefits are huge, and if you lose, although it will make them hurt, But it will not sink completely, not to mention that Su Zhen also used a lot of his high-quality assets as collateral, and Su Zhen has not yet lost in the financial market, which makes them choose to gamble.

"His Royal Highness William said that he couldn't convince the other members of the royal family, but he persuaded his younger brother, His Royal Highness Harry, that the funds they could mobilize were about 200 million pounds, all of which were handed over to Su You to control, but His Royal Highness William said that this was all his belongings" Bell said, Su Zhen nodded when he heard this, Bell was different from the others seated. He does not represent himself, but Prince William, since the eavesdropping time, Bell has become the contact between Su Zhen and Prince William, after all, as a member of the British royal family, Prince William lives in the spotlight almost all the time, so it is very inconvenient to act, so after the eavesdropping time, Bale, who was born in a politician family, has become the spokesperson for Prince William and Su Zhen to maintain a good relationship. And although Prince William's funds are not much, it is indeed very difficult for William, who is only the second heir in line, to come up with so much, and the reason why Su Zhen invited Prince William to join is not because of funds, but because of the influence of the British royal family, although today's Britain is no longer the Britain it once was, but as the former suzerain. The British royal family still has a lot of influence in the United States and those Commonwealth member states, and with William joining, some things will be much simpler.

"I convinced my cousin, Prince Mansour, that our Abu Dhabi consortium could mobilize $10 billion," Alfahim said with a smile. The others were not surprised by this, but if you really want to talk about it, everyone sitting here should say that they have a lot of money. There is really no one who is comparable to Abu Dhabi, even if the Su Group and the DuPont consortium are tied together, and Abu Dhabi is so generous. It is related to the political strategy of the upper echelons of Abu Dhabi, like the Russian Abu, although they are extremely rich, but politically, the Middle Eastern royal family has always been excluded by the mainstream society of the world (Europe and the United States), so as long as there is an opportunity to improve their international status, they have always spared no effort, so they will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

"The estimated amount that Elena and I can mobilize is about five billion dollars," Carrick said after a few people finished speaking, but his words made everyone look at him.

"Don't look at me like that, after all, in the family, we are only one of them" Carrick smiled and said, one of the words, he will only participate in this plan on their behalf, "but you can rest assured, in terms of the support of the family's resources, there will be no shortage of resources."

After all, unlike the others, the three branches of the DuPont family are on the united front externally, but internally, the relationship between the troika is not very harmonious, but if Carrick can make some gains in the upcoming economic crisis, then it is very likely to overpower the other two branches, so as to completely control the DuPont family.

"That's good, that's it, we can directly call more than 20 billion US dollars, if we borrow from the bank, then it is not a problem to raise 40 billion, no surprise, we can get a profit will be much higher than this figure, and for the profit I suggest is to buy a bank, set up our own joint consortium, I don't know if you are interested?" Su Zhen smiled and told the four people sitting his final plan.

"Buying a bank?" Everyone else was stunned, originally they thought that Su Zhen just wanted to take advantage of the economic crisis to make a fortune, but they didn't expect Su Zhen to say that he wanted to buy a bank, but they frowned when they heard this.

"It's a good thing to buy banks, but even if we make a lot of money from this crisis, we may not be able to buy big banks, right? And the acquisition of small banks is meaningless," Carrick said, the reason why the DuPont consortium has been at the bottom of many consortiums in the United States is because there is no bank of its own, this bank is not the kind of small bank that is tens of billions, but a super large bank like JPMorgan Chase that can quickly raise funds for the family, the capital of such a bank is basically in the hundreds of billions, and it is not generally difficult to acquire such a large bank, otherwise the DuPont family will not have worked hard for hundreds of years and failed to successfully master a large bank.

"Of course, it's a big bank, and it's usually difficult to buy, but what if the bank is hit hard in an economic crisis?" Su Zhen said with a smile.

"That's feasible, but now the big banks in the United States are basically controlled by the major families, and if it weren't for the survival of the situation, even if it was hit hard, I am afraid that they would not be sold." Carrick thought for a moment and said... But he quickly reflected that there really is such a bank that is not completely controlled by the group.

"You mean, Citi?" Carrick looked at Su Zhen in surprise and asked, he didn't expect Su Zhen's ambition to be so big, and he actually started the idea of a super behemoth like Citigroup. (To be continued......)
