Chapter 169: The consortium is strong

When it comes to funding, the focus first returns to the consortium.

In just three years, the rise of this large group is completely worthy of the word "miracle".

They were formed by a large number of corporate alliances and mergers and acquisitions, and the group quickly transformed from obscurity into a group that is important to the Australian economy, and with their huge financial resources, they have penetrated into every field.

They control the current giants or future hegemons in the Internet, energy, biology, and machine fields, and have decision-making power over more than five banks and control more than $3 trillion in wealth.

The consortium's investments span finance, trade, science, health, education and publishing, and even government, and the areas that can influence the state are now at the mercy of the monopoly.

In Victoria, this influence is even deeper into all aspects of life, and even the price increase in supermarkets next week will be affected by the consortium - like food and meat, life must be, right?

But it can't be in a hurry to find a buyer and prepare for a trade during the harvest season. It is destined to be traded early, a week, a month, or half a year early, and it all comes down to "futures".

Behind futures trading is the participation and competition of major financial companies, securities institutions and countless retail investors. In this, the big consortium undoubtedly plays the role of the banker.

With the trillions of industries controlled by the Ann consortium, it is too easy to influence this country with a population of just over 20 million! At the simplest level, milk production is high, but the consortium doesn't want the price to be low, what should you do?

Many people thought of it, pour it out!

The consortium formed by monopoly capitalists is such a ruthless role. Because of the existence of antitrust laws, the methods of their implementation are more complex and more difficult to trace.

They use the funds earned by their companies around the world to return to Australia, a place that is not very valued by capital, and use financial resources or technology to crush and merge local enterprises and control economic and trade.

However, unlike the bloody and ruthless behind the scenes of capital, its surface image is very positive, and it also sets a positive example, keen on charity, stimulating employment, and improving the economic level.

In the past few days, another popular project of the consortium has been established.

In Melbourne's west, a 500-acre plot of land has been set aside from the main site to establish a university, the Polytechnic, which officially opened in February this year.

It is an educational project strongly promoted by the foundation, with the aim of cultivating talents for the base and the foundation in the future; The second is to provide an excellent educational environment for the children of employees and enhance the cohesion of the enterprise.

Today it will hold an opening ceremony, and the first batch of 150 teachers and students is not a large number. On the one hand, because it has just been established, it is destined to be unknown; On the other hand, the admissions requirements are very high.

The combination of these two reasons will definitely not be able to recruit people...... As soon as you set up, you have to lower the conditions and raise the scholarship in order to attract people.

Of course, this embarrassment did not happen to it, and the university cooperated with other universities in Australia to divert a group of students who were willing to go on an "exchange" for a semester.

This group of students from prestigious schools have the mentality of "staying for a semester to get credits", "sacrificing as experiments", and "coming to Melbourne to play".

As soon as the exchange is over, they will definitely return to their original school.

At least that's what they thought before the opening ceremony.

Because this is a pheasant university, it really goes to recruit students, and it also opens such a high standard line, everyone goes to a first-class school, who will come to you?

But today, this first batch of arrogant students is destined to be stunned.

Because in the auditorium, they saw a large group of familiar faces, many of whom were top experts in the academic world, some of whom had won Nobel Prizes and could be written directly into textbooks!

"Oh Mai Ka!" A top student stared blankly at the white man in front of him, "He is David Freeman, a stem cell expert, and our teachers often mention him, asserting that he will win the Nobel Prize sooner or later!" ”

"Look over there, our governor!" Others have found something different.

"Isn't that the genius of China?" Voices of surprise continued.

There are countless celebrities present, in addition to the faces of the academic community, the governor of Victoria, the leader of the Liberal Party, etc., the business world is thunderous An Yang, and Australia's richest man Martin Morris is also there.

This scene can't help but make students who don't know the situation curious: why did this newly established and supposed obscure college have so many celebrities to cheer for it?

If you don't know the situation, you think you're in the wrong place!

The unexpected joy of the huge contrast gradually spreads.

The students who were reluctant to exchange to experience it have already put away their contempt, because the principal who spoke on stage is also well-known in the scientific community.

Among the names of the guests mentioned by the principal, it was confirmed that the top experts who had plans to discuss would also serve as professors at the school, and these guys, who don't usually get along, are now working together under the same roof.

And An Yang and Morris, such famous science and technology tycoons, also have honorary titles on their heads, such as An Yang is the "honorary president", and he is also a special guest professor of the School of Artificial Intelligence.

Top academics and top tech tycoons are gathered here? It's hard to imagine what kind of magic is causing it.

Here's the truth: it's all dug up by the Brotherhood. In addition to being responsible for the research of top projects, he also shoulders the education work of the university by the way, and the task is not heavy, and he can appear once a month.

But it is still convincing to countless students. This kind of scene of big people gathering in a school is usually only seen in the United States, where education is very developed.

In Australia, there are very few of them, but now they are told that in the future, these people, and even more famous people on the list of professors in the school, will be your professors.

For students with a strong desire for knowledge, their hearts are constantly shaking.

Because the university will accept applications from foreign students, who claim to have the best educational resources, scientific research environment and scholarship mechanism.

Originally, I thought it was a big talk, but when I saw it with my own eyes today, I found that it was not an exaggeration at all, but I blamed them for being too low-key.

……

After this eye-opening ceremony, the teachers and students gradually dispersed.

It is certain that the Institute of Science and Technology, which sits on such powerful resources, will surely become a dark horse for the strong rise of the global education community in the next few years, and a holy place for countless students to yearn for.

Anyan and Morris, who have created all this, are walking around the campus with Simon Fisher, the leader of the Liberal Party, talking about education and current affairs.

Simon Fischer was very kind to them: "The gentlemen's generous investment in their careers and in science will further their civil prestige." ”

Morris laughed, "You can give the credit to the party." ”

Fisher's smile is clear: "Voters now look at the results in front of them, not about long-term strategies, and we have to keep up with the times to cater to public opinion." ”

"Don't worry, we're here to help you in every way." Morris told him that the Liberal Party, which represents the interests of industrial and commercial owners, is naturally also the target of investment by the consortium.

Fisher also said: "If it can come true, I will definitely do my best to help the organization better play on the world stage." ”

An Yang said to him: "What we have to do is a big business, and we need someone like Mr. Fisher who has a foresight for the future, can grasp it, and can make a clear choice." ”

Fisher was happy to be chosen: "I will do everything I can to help the organization politically, so that everyone can get the most bang for their investment." ”

Simon Fisher is undoubtedly the spokesman for their group of capitalists. The consortium intends to help the Liberals defeat the Labour Party and seize the position of the ruling party in next year's general election.

This is the reason why the conglomerates continue to build momentum for themselves and the Liberal Party. If a political party wins the election, its leader, Simon Fisher, automatically becomes head of government.

Fisher is also a member of the Brotherhood and is currently being examined to join the Core. As long as he passes, he will be a member of Anonymous, and he will know what to do.

From this step, the consortium has penetrated into the upper echelons of government.

It's just a matter of the election. As long as Fischer takes office, both the cabinet and the political party will be built into an organization dedicated to the service of the foundation.

The ruling party will be in power for three years, and An Yang, who has spent more than three years on the plan, will definitely be full of strength for another three years! In the future, no matter which party is in power, it must obey them.

The private conversation proceeded happily to the parking lot, and Fisher, with the joy of being strongly supported by the owner, shook hands with them and said goodbye.

"You have done a good job in the area of influence, and if you seize the right to speak, you will seize the future." Anyan told Morris that he really did it in less than three years.

Morris is modest: "Reaching the smallest goals of the organization, there is still no pride in your global plans, and followers have more to do." ”

"I'm more anxious than I am." An Yang smiled and sat in the car, and the driver closed the door.

Morris sat in from the other side: "There's one more thing that might be of interest to you, next week the nuclear company will conduct a controlled fusion test, and the success will be a historic moment." ”

An Yang nodded: "After preparing for so long, it's time to get some results." Give me a schedule, and I'll be there when the time comes. ”

The assistant in the front row responded, "I've written it down for you, Mr. An." ”

Morris continued: "When the controllable reaction is successful, it will be tested for large-scale power generation and power generation, and at the same time, it will be combined with superconducting power generation and transmission technology, which has a bright future. ”

An Yang thought about it: "If you master energy, you will control the lifeblood of the world, and this part is very important. Push another spokesperson out to become a star and make full use of resources. ”

Morris was prepared: "I'm already doing this. We can also support Labour delegates when necessary, and we will win no matter which of the two parties wins. ”

An Yang smiled: "The preparation of both hands is very good. But also pay attention to the degree of control, don't please both sides, that will only force us to force. ”

Morris nodded: "The consortium has the absolute ability to implement. We are the strongest in the southern hemisphere, and in two or three years, we will be the strongest in the world. ”

Anyan liked his ambition: "Just follow this plan and continue to expand." ”
