Chapter 340: A Romantic Wedding
"Monopoly?!" John. Corleone seems to understand something.
"That's right! It's a monopoly! Or take the DuPonts, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers as examples, the Rothschilds founder Meyer? Rothschild once said, 'As long as I can control the currency of a country, I don't care who makes the laws.' The Rothschilds have today's influence precisely because of their monopoly on the financial industry. ”。
"Looking at the DuPont family again, as early as 1890, the gunpowder trust controlled by the DuPont family had monopolized the production of 90% of explosives and 95% of gunpowder in country M, thus starting a glorious journey of two hundred years! It has maintained its prosperity for 200 years and has become one of the oldest, richest, most peculiar and largest wealthy families in country M".
Not to mention the Rockefeller family, whose control of the Standard Company, at its peak, monopolized 80 percent of the oil refining industry and 90 percent of the oil pipe business in the whole country. Rockefeller is still alive, and his worth is about $300 billion in today's dollars, and according to the latest Forbes billionaires list, Carlos Slim, the top-ranked Mexican telecommunications magnate, has a net worth of only $74 billion. ”。
"The status of these wealthy families is not only reflected in money, but also through the control of the country's economic lifeline, so as to achieve a strong influence on national policy, diplomacy and other aspects ......", Duan Zetao said eloquently. It is undoubtedly a great merit that Corleone can really heed his advice and give up the illegal business of buying and selling in duke and arms.
"But isn't the government now enacting the Anti-Monopoly Law? Will it work to follow their old ways? ”。 John. Corleone obviously agrees with Duan Zetao's point of view.
Duan Zetao laughed, "The real monopoly cannot be so simply stifled by an Anti-Monopoly Law, but it has become another form of monopoly through mutual holding and so on, and it is more hidden!" ”。
John. Corleone was deeply moved by Duan Zetao's analysis, stood up excitedly, held Duan Zetao's hand tightly and said: "Duan, no matter what, you have won the friendship of the Corleone family, if you need my help in the future, the Corleone family will definitely do its best to help!" ……”。
The time for the wedding was approaching, and Duan Zetao asked John. Corleone took his leave, and as he walked down the corridor, he suddenly felt the urge to look up and laugh, he actually indoctrinated the biggest mafia boss in country M. Did Corleone finally heed Duan Zetao's advice and give up the illegal business of buying and selling duke and arms, at least he was in John. Corleone planted a seed in his heart to go on the right path.
The wedding ceremony was carried out in accordance with the wedding rites of European nobles, Jiang Xiaoxue was dressed in a white long swing wedding dress, covered with a delicate white veil, dignified and beautiful and sexy, looking forward to life, she was simply a beautiful princess, her wedding dress was designed by the world's top designer Armani, with a long double-layer mopping skirt, inlaid with a total of 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 30,000 pearls and 20,000 shell jewelry, making Jiang Xiaoxue more and more glamorous.
Jiang Xiaoxue took her father Jiang Zuoliang's hand and walked out of the dressing room, behind her were four pink and cute little girls from country M helping her hold her skirt, and Sun Miaoke, who was also dressed very beautifully, was her bridesmaid.
Several luxury four-wheeled carriages driven by four thoroughbred European horses had already stopped at the door and waited, and Clary, a British butler in a tuxedo, opened the door of the carriage in front of him and waited half-bent over, "Please get on the car!" Clary said respectfully.
Jiang Xiaoxue took her father Jiang Zuoliang into the first carriage, while Sun Miaoke and others got into the carriage behind, and in front of the carriage there was a guard of honor in military uniforms playing music to open the way, and the carriage was slowly moving along the road covered with red carpets towards the large lawn where the wedding ceremony was held.
Hundreds of maids, gardeners, grooms, and chauffeurs, all in uniform, bent over each side of the carriage carrying the bride, were a spectacular sight, and as the procession passed in front of them, they scattered red rose petals, and everyone in the carriage was intoxicated by the fragrance of the rain of roses.
The world's leading orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, played the wedding march while a choir of 100 nuns began to chant and the superstars Justin and Akon sang at the same time to send their blessings to the sound of their heavenly sounds.
Jiang Xiaoxue got out of the carriage, but she didn't see the groom Duan Zetao, only Zhu Feiyang, who was wearing the best man's clothes, stood there mysteriously and winked at her.
Jiang Xiaoxue was surprised, and suddenly Sun Miaoke behind her exclaimed, "Look at the sky!" Jiang Xiaoxue hurriedly raised her head and looked in the direction of Sun Miaoke's finger, only to see a huge hot air balloon slowly floating towards this side from a distance, and Duan Zetao was standing in the basket under the hot air balloon with a smile on his face and waving his hand to her.
"What a man!" , Sun Miaoke, Ouyang Fang and others behind him exclaimed with envy and jealousy, Jiang Xiaoxue's eyes were also a little moist, at this time the hot air balloon had slowly descended, Duan Zetao walked out of the basket and walked to Jiang Xiaoxue's side, Jiang Zuoliang took Jiang Xiaoxue's hand and handed it to Duan Zetao.
Duan Zetao gently took Jiang Xiaoxue's hand and returned to the hot air balloon again, the hot air balloon slowly rose again, Duan Zetao took out a huge wedding diamond ring from his pocket and put it on Jiang Xiaoxue's hand, and said softly: "Xiaoxue, do you feel happy?!" ”。
Jiang Xiaoxue nodded vigorously, the two kissed together excitedly, and everyone below cheered and burst into warm applause, and the photographer also hurriedly pressed the shutter to record this exciting moment! At the same time, thousands of fireworks were ignited together, and the brilliant fireworks roared into the sky, spelling out "Jiang Xiaoxue, I love you!" in the sky! "Beautiful pattern!
Immediately after that, thousands of white doves and tens of thousands of hydrogen balloons were released at the same time, each white pigeon and each hydrogen balloon were tied with ribbons, at the same time, the helicopter sent by Robert had also risen up, and a color spray painting printed with Duan Zetao and Jiang Xiaoxue's wedding photos hung down from the helicopter instantly, this scene was really shocking, and the ladies who came to the wedding banquet all exclaimed in unison, it was too comic!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxue really felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, if she still had some grievances and resentments about not being able to hold a wedding with Duan Zetao in China justifiably, it also disappeared at this time, and she hugged Duan Zetao tightly!
Originally, after the wedding, Duan Zetao planned to go to Love Sea with Jiang Xiaoxue for his honeymoon, but at this time, he suddenly received a call from Shannan, and Shannan had an accident again! And something big is wrong!
