Chapter III: Trilateral Commissions

"Sir, a little gift is not a tribute."

Chen Bo respectfully handed over the things in his hand, which was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary in a white plastic bag, and inside it was actually a more ordinary take-out box.

"This gift is really chic!" The elderly David Rockefeller has age spots on his face, but he is in good spirits, a tough old man, and he doesn't even need crutches.

"That's a Cantonese snack that Flushing brought you. There are wolfberry porridge, black pepper radish pork ribs, and barbecued pork buns. Serve hot, it tastes good and is nutritious! ”

Nicholas, who was standing on the side, was absolutely broken in his heart, are you my own brother? It doesn't matter if you come empty-handed. You go to a slum to bring takeaway, and it's not so environmentally friendly, is this a death?

However, the old David's expression was an unexpected surprise: "Wow, this is a long-lost taste." I love the gifts, but eating at night is obviously not good for me, and only controlling my appetite and ensuring my schedule can allow me to live a few more years. ”

"It seems that I didn't think it through, and I had the opportunity to go to Lingnan and invite you to eat the most authentic."

"I also hope to have this opportunity, and it will be almost 30 years in a flash." David sighed softly, as if touching the memory. He was no stranger to China, and was the first person to follow Nixon to China, and made no small contribution to the ice-breaking journey between the two countries, when he successfully obtained the agency rights of Chase Manhattan Bank of China.

Chen Bo also inquired for a long time to find out what old David ate when he was in Yanjing, and this was the dish he used to like to eat when he visited China for the last time in 81.

It doesn't matter whether the takeaway is healthy or not, and whether you can eat it, it's just to send a friendly signal. Such a powerful and rich man has traveled to more than 100 countries around the world, and you say that he has never seen anything and eaten nothing. In the end, it's just a formality.

Old David led him to the quaint study, and after Nicholas had delivered two cups of coffee, he withdrew from the door, leaving only an old man and a young man looking at each other.

"You're a brilliant young man."

"Don't dare to be, I'm a lot worse than when you were young."

"Do you know where the difference is?"

"Forehead......" Chen Bo was just a modest polite remark, but he didn't expect that old David would ask directly, not giving you a chance to do Tai Chi at all, but stopped him directly.

"Hehe, why are you speechless?" Old David smiled and said, "Aren't you very clever?" Are you still afraid of me, an old man who is dying? ”

"The difference is that I have too little education." Chen Bo had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Education can be made up for by nurture, and my father, John, didn't have much of a high degree either. Although I was the first PhD in my family, I wasn't the best. Old David shook his head and said, "You are very good at using resources, although you don't do bad things in the name of Rockefeller, but you don't have any intention when you contact Nicholas?" ”

"Yes, of course, I don't deny that." Chen Bo didn't plan to hide it, the old man had lived for so long, and he couldn't hide it from him at all. "I need a talisman that can at least shock some small things on the surface, but I give back a good profit."

"That's where you're bad."

"Huh? Do you have to trick him? ”

"Of course not, that kind of person will never be able to make a big deal. If I were you, I would take every opportunity to build a good relationship with Nicholas and show my worth. Tie up with more interests and this family, so that is the real talisman, not just share some interests, that kind of relationship is extremely fragile. Didn't your company almost get taken away? ”

"Didn't you take it away? I want to succeed more through my own efforts than through other people's handouts. ”

"It's very backbone, but your ship is too small."

"It's good to turn around when the boat is small."

"Can it withstand the storm?"

“……”

"Hehe, that's your other bad thing. He is very ambitious, but he refuses to bow his head with arrogance. So you have a bad relationship with your peers, you don't have a good relationship with the government, and you don't have a good relationship with the media. This can't be called backbone, it can only be said to be stupid and immature. ”

"I ......"

"Listen to me, you just take advantage of the curiosity of the media, and although you don't leave a handle on what you say, it also makes them not like you. If all of them erupt in a concentrated manner, you can only be a street rat, and everyone shouts and beats, and no one can help you. Who do you think will help you in the end? Is the little king of Jordan? A prince who has no right of inheritance in Saudi Arabia? Or your father-in-law of that real estate tycoon? ”

"Are you here to teach today?" Chen Bo said with some displeasure.

"Preachy? Of course not, I want you to understand where you are. I wouldn't work with a fool, even a young man of this calibre. Old David's gaze was unusually sharp, and his mouth became more and more vicious.

"If you're talking about collaboration, then sit down and talk. If you're just trying to hit me, there's no door! Chen Bo's tone was already unceremoniously, and he directly contradicted it, no matter who you are, train me to be the same as the third grandson, and the clay man still has three points of earthiness.

"If you don't want to hear it, then I'll talk to you about cooperation." Old David didn't get angry, and said in a calm tone, "How much money can you mobilize?" How do you plan to do it, and to what point do you want to stop? And how to deal with the aftermath? How are the benefits distributed to the partners? ”

"I just want to make some money, where do I think so much. If I really have that ability, why should I cooperate with others! Chen Bo is really convinced this time, he has intelligence, some small money, can't afford to make big waves, but can drink some soup, compared with the capital giant, he is really weak.

"That's it, you're too anxious." Old David sighed. "Greece's financial crisis is not a day or two. I've known the details for a long time, and I'm afraid other families know about it too. But why didn't they puncture this layer of window paper? ”

"Why? Isn't that a great opportunity? Chen Bo was surprised.

"It's just a bait, and how to maximize the benefits is what everyone considers. You are not the only smart person in this world, the economy of southern Europe has long been rotten into a pot of porridge, and it is only a matter of time before there is a crisis. But there is no tacit agreement on how to do it and what to do. If you, a newcomer, are in a hurry to rip off this fig leaf, not only will things be ruined, but you may also die without a place to bury. ”

"I'll go, don't scare me."

"Then let me ask you, what do you think are the clues that can be used in addition to this rotten debt in Europe?"

"The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates more than a dozen times, and OPEC has continuously announced oil production cuts, which have released strong signals of market volatility. After the dot-com bubble burst, more hot money went to the real estate industry, and Wall Street was so keen on these bonds that it was sold all over the world. If this bubble is punctured, it will be no less influential than the Asian financial crisis. ”

Old David nodded with satisfaction, "It's not stupid, this storm will definitely affect the whole world, I'm afraid it's still very powerful." ”

"Isn't that what you'd like to see?"

"Huh? What I hope is to keep this inevitable disaster under control to a limited extent, after all, the general trend of economic laws is irresistible under the impetus of those who are well-intentioned. But others want to give it more political meaning as a way to weigh on other emerging economies. ”

"Anyone else?" Chen Bo was surprised, "Who has such a powerful energy?" ”

As for the Skull and Bones Society, Freemasonry and the like, most of them are rumors, not credible or advisable, he is not stupid to that extent. But the world is so big, there will always be some organizations hiding behind the scenes, and this is the nature of capitalists.

"The Bilderberg Club."

"Bilderberg? It sounds like a Jewish name. ”

"You're very observant, but that's just the name of a small hotel in the Netherlands." Old David corrected, "This was initiated by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who are political and business elites in Europe and the United States, and I am also a member of the organization. ”

"Oh...... No, this group seems to be very powerful, but you don't seem to approve of them. ”

"It's because they're too self-righteous, too populist. Rejection of members from emerging economies and very bureaucratic So I withdrew and started the Trilateral Commission to invite more Japanese companies to join. ”

"Why not our Huaxia!" Chen Bo protested.

"That was 1973, boy! You tell me what Huaxia has? There are still hundreds of millions of people who don't have enough to eat. Old David said helplessly, "The red Fuji apples and Kyoho grapes you eat are still cultivated with the help of Takeshi Watanabe, chairman of the Asian region." ”

"Dare you to be an agricultural organization." Chen Bo blurted out.

"......," it was Davy's turn to be speechless this time, "none of that matters, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Club are completely different. We care about economic development, and we can get more economic benefits by supporting and tapping the potential of emerging markets. And they use economic means to control the global market and maintain their position. The economic growth of Russia and China in recent years is obvious to all. ”

"One hand of dollars, the other hand of oil, is really a good thing." Chen Bo sighed, "It doesn't take a single shot to grab other people's hard-earned belongings." ”

"This is the inevitable result of social development, and the European and American regimes have always pursued the maintenance of class stability, rather than absolute fairness, and in that case it would be a utopia of universal harmony."

"Since this matter is so complicated, I'd better go back to the Internet honestly, anyway, the poor can afford to go online, and business also needs to rely on Internet publicity, I can lie down and earn a lifetime."

"What about that energy just now, and now you're going to be deflated?" Old David smiled, "Are you interested in joining the Trilateral Committee?" ”
