Chapter 289: I Need Your Support, Your Majesty!
Before the outbreak of World War II, the United States was originally controlled by eight major conglomerates: Morgan, Rockefeller, Kuhn Lobb, Chicago, Mellon, DuPont, Boston, and Cleveland.
However, due to Cheng Gong's participation, a series of major investment projects such as the Chongming Island system, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Global Infrastructure Investment Bank, the WTO and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the container logistics system have enabled the eight major consortia in the United States to reshuffle.
The strength of the eight major consortia has changed, and new consortia have risen, forming a new pattern in which the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, the First Citibank consortium, the DuPont consortium, the Boston consortium, the Mellon consortium, the Cleveland consortium, the Chicago consortium, the California consortium, and the Texas consortium dominate the United States.
In the past two years, Cheng Gong has attended some important meetings of the top ten consortia in the United States on behalf of Angelina, the general manager of the Jincheng International Consortium, in the name of the director, and has been playing the role of an invisible major shareholder with only ears and no mouth. At the same time, it is also a heavyweight shareholder in the family struggle within the top ten consortia.
As the Great Donghua Empire stepped on the face of the British Empire and became a world-class power, the importance of Cheng Gong, the major shareholder, to various families was greatly raised by the top ten American consortia overnight.
Therefore, Hoover knows very well that in next year's US election, if Cheng Gong wants to support whom, the leaders of the top ten consortiums will basically sell Cheng Gong this favor, and will not work against Cheng Gong.
Because, in the eyes of the family members of the top ten consortiums, this is equivalent to Cheng Gong owing them a favor. And a big man like Cheng Gong is also a major shareholder in various consortia, and his favor cannot be bought back by spending no amount of money.
As for who the owner of the White House is, they have never cared about it. As long as he's obedient. If you are disobedient, you can change people at any time.
Due to the greedy nature of capitalists, in the face of Cheng Gong, a mysterious and young major shareholder, the various consortium families naturally love and hate. If there is an opportunity to swallow the shares in Cheng Gong's hands, these old consortium forces will definitely not be merciful.
However, the old Rockefeller, the old Morgan, the old Dupont, the old Mellon and other consortium family heads never thought that the Donghui Kingdom led by Cheng Gong could so easily defeat Australia, which had the support of Britain, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Canada and other countries. And then it became the Great Donghua Empire.
It can be said that without these old conglomerates behind the scenes, no matter how capable Churchill is, it is impossible to incite the British, French, and American governments to jointly deal with Cheng Gong.
In fact, the East Australian War was actually a thorough test of Cheng Gong's net worth by these veteran consortium families.
If they pass, Cheng Gong is qualified to become a true ally of their respective families.
If you fail, the wealth in Cheng Gong's hands will be divided and swallowed by them.
This is the law of the jungle that the world of capital has always pursued!
Cheng Gong is not ignorant of this. It's just that he doesn't plan to use the connections of these consortia now, and he doesn't bother to deal with them for the time being. After all, if you want to play in a capital game, sometimes you have to follow the rules of the game set by these guys.
Before he has the absolute strength to break this rule, Cheng Gong will not challenge the bottom line of this rule. Anyway, everyone knows it, and there is no need to spread out some words on the table.
Today, when he heard Hoover give a detailed account of the assets he had invested in the United States, Cheng Gong suddenly understood why Hoover had secretly come to Paradise Island to visit him alone behind Roosevelt's back.
Obviously, Hoover was fully aware that Cheng Gong not only had the financial resources to interfere in the US presidential election economically, but also had the huge power to meddle in the US presidential election in the international political arena.
Hoover made it clear that he wanted to correct the major mistakes made by some people in the White House on the Donghua issue, and the other meaning of this was that he wanted to link up with some people to bomb Roosevelt and drive Roosevelt out of the White House!
The FBI, controlled by Hoover, finally couldn't help but want to meddle in the presidential election of the United States. As far back as I can remember, this guy seems to have some indecent nude photos of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Do you want to stab these nude photos in the British newspaper The Sun? Cheng Gong was not without evil taste.
You know, no matter what kind of photo Cheng Gong wants, he can photoshop it out seamlessly and perfectly! I want to PS whose nude and obscene photos are all wooden problematic drops!
If Roosevelt had really been given a "nude photo" incident, he might have been able to get him angry a few years earlier.
It's just that it seems that this method is a bit inferior!
"Mr. Hoover, the Emperor believes that the White House really needs a new owner who is friendly to Donghua!"
Cheng Gong didn't go around in circles with Hoover, but directly opened the skylight and said in a serious manner: "The East and the United States are not in the interests of the United States, nor are they in the interests of our Great Donghua Empire. The War in Eastern Australia has made our Great Donghua Empire a success, and it has also proved to the world that I have enough power to protect my gold and technology!
No matter what unpleasant things happened before, the emperor meant that the past should be passed. We should all look at current international issues from a developmental perspective, and there is no need to dwell on some things in the past and worry about them. As a result, the White House needs a new owner to redefine and examine the new East-American relationship. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor's words are very reasonable!" Hoover nodded in agreement and said, "In the words of you Chinese people, it's not too late to be imprisoned." The outbreak of a new world war is inevitable. Donghua and the United States are both big countries, and both countries have the responsibility and obligation to do their best to maintain world peace and stability. ”
Damn, that's my rhetoric!
To maintain world peace and stability, it is enough to have the Great Donghua Empire, and you American imperialists have no patience to worry about it.
Cheng Gong was secretly slandering himself in his heart, but he nodded solemnly on his face and said, "Mr. Hoover, you are very right. Maintaining world peace and stability has always been the goal of the emperor's unremitting efforts, and it is also an important national policy of the Great Donghua Empire and the foundation of the country!
The flames of war in Europe and Asia have involved too many innocent people, and they have been devastated and tormented by the fire and heat. As a big country with a sense of conscience and moral responsibility, our Great Donghua Empire really can't bear to sit back and watch like this, we must and should do something! ”
"Your Majesty, if I can succeed in being elected as the next president of the United States in next year's U.S. election, I think we can do more together!" Hoover finally told the truth about his trip.
Cheng Gong stared at Hoover's eyes meaningfully for about a minute, and then said slowly and noncommittally: "Mr. Hoover, as far as this emperor knows, you are neither a Republican nor a Democrat of the United States. In what capacity will you run in next year's U.S. election? ”
"I can be a Republican or a Democratic Party at any time if I want to!" Hoover confidently said: "His Majesty the Emperor needs me to be a member of whichever party, I can be a member of which!" ”
I really need you to be a member of the Communist Party of the United States, will you do it?! Depend on! Cheng Gong muttered to himself. At the same time, they are also pondering which party will be more detrimental to the interests of the United States and thus in the interests of Donghua by allowing Hoover to join them.
