Chapter 923: The Troubles of a Big Family

"It's not that you don't have a chance, it's that you don't have a chance at all. {starter}" Lin Xiao looked at Ye Laosan, frowned and said.

What did Lin Dashao mean when he said this? Did we have any festivals before? Listening to Lin Xiao's words of not giving any face, Ye Laosan's heart was naturally confused.

Judging from Ye Laosan's own understanding, their family is dominant in South China, and there can be no contradiction and conflict between them and the Lin family in the far north, which is also the basis for him to come to see Lin Xiao in desperation and want to talk about cooperation.

After all, if there is any inextricable contradiction between the two families, let alone cooperation, even if they sit at the same table, they may start fighting.

So at this time, Lin Xiao actually said that they didn't have any chance at all, which made Ye Laosan a little confused.

Even if they are the rulers of the four provinces in South China, it is impossible to underestimate the existence of their Ye family, right? How can you listen to Lin Xiao's tone, it seems that he doesn't look down on them at all?

Or is it that the people in his own family don't know when they have provoked Lin Xiao without knowing it?

If that's the case, it's really not easy to talk about this matter.

At this time, Ye Qianqiu also looked at Lin Xiao with a suspicious expression, obviously her thoughts were similar to her brother Ye Laosan, and they all felt that someone in the family had offended Lin Xiao, so now Lin Xiao was reluctant to talk to them about cooperation.

"It's not a holiday, but you're really not my ideal partner." Lin Xiao shook his head and replied.

"Why?" Ye Qianqiu, who was next to him, heard this, and asked a little unconvinced.

How powerful the Ye family is in South China, they are not figures in South China officialdom, and they don't understand it at all.

Because of this, whether it was Ye Laosan or Ye Qianqiu, before they came, they were all more confident, but they didn't expect that in front of Lin Xiao, they planted such a big fight, which made them a little disgraced.

At this time, Lin Xiao said that their Ye family was not the ideal partner to work with, and the two brothers and sisters were really not convinced, except for our Ye family in South China, who else could cover the scene?

In fact, not only Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu's brothers and sisters were not convinced, even the fourth master on the side listened to Lin Xiao's words, and felt that Lin Xiao seemed to be a little insincere and unreasonable.

At this time, Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Since your brothers and sisters want to become new energy tycoons through the super battery project, then let me ask you, how much do you know about the traditional oil family, and can you see the difference between the Rockefeller family and the Saudi oil family in the Middle East?" ”

"This is naturally known, both sides started with oil, but the Saudi side is a rising star, mainly relying on the export of crude oil to make money, compared with the Rockefeller family, it is indeed a little worse." Ye Laosan replied without hesitation.

"Miss Ye, what do you think of Brother Ling's statement?" Lin Xiao asked Ye Qianqiu again.

"The Rockefeller family's investment is multifaceted, which is much stronger than the Saudi royal family, but the Saudi royal family is also keen to invest in projects such as art, which is not easy to distinguish." Ye Qianqiu hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Lin Xiao listened to their brother and sister's words, but he shook his head and said with a smile, "This is wrong, the difference between them is actually the difference in the number of heirs. ”

"What?" Including the fourth master, Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu, brothers and sisters, listened to Lin Xiao's words, they were all at a loss, obviously not figuring out Lin Xiao's true thoughts.

Among all the oil families, the largest is not the Rockefeller, not the Moratti family, and not the Russian oil tycoon Khodolkovsky, who is among the world's ten richest people, but the Saudi royal family.

In the latest Forbes list of the world's 10 richest people, Saudi Crown Prince Alwalid Talal has more than twice as much personal assets as Khodorkovsky, and his assets are only a small part of the assets of the entire Saudi royal family.

Saudi Arabia has 25% of the world's proven oil reserves; Oil production is currently 9 million barrels per day, accounting for 11% of the world's total daily production; 60% of oil exports go to China and Japan, and 15% to the United States.

With an oil production capacity of 11.5 million barrels per day, Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world with a large amount of underutilized capacity.

Saudi Arabia is currently the only country in the world named after a tribe and has an ancient system of succession to the throne from brother to brother.

Under the country's monarchy, the royal family owns and controls all of the oil resources.

In the past, royals could live in extreme luxury with the rolling petrodollars, but because the royal family is inflated too quickly (it is estimated that Saudi Arabia now has 10,000 to 12,000 princes), the petrodollars are no longer enough to meet the millions of dollars spent by many princes, so they have begun to use their privileges to engage in extortion.

At the same time, due to the rapid expansion of the population, the standard of living of the Saudi people began to decline.

"Twelve thousand princes, do you know what that means?" After Lin Xiao told this fact, he looked at Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu brother and sister with a lot of playfulness, and asked with a smile.

Ye Qianqiu listened to Lin Xiao's words, and only then did he react and understand the meaning of Lin Xiao's words.

Influencing the world with one family is something that only the ruler of an absolute monarchy can do, and in today's world structure, the state system of an absolute monarchy is to be greatly challenged.

If the Saudi royal family cannot effectively grasp the future political situation of the country, because of the Islamic Revolution. If you fall into some kind of chaos, then the doom of the world's most powerful oil family will come, and the more impactful world oil crisis will follow, and its impact on the world economy can only be described as "catastrophic".

Oil, a glowing blue-black liquid, is far from being as simple as "industrial blood", but has become the foundation on which human civilization depends.

Thinking about the lifeblood of this flowery world, it is tightly held in the hands of a few families, and it can't help but make people surprised and nervous.

But the truth is not as simple as it seems, these families have accumulated huge wealth on the one hand, but at the same time, they cannot avoid the fear of "guilt".

Since the Kosovo War, few wars in the Middle East have not had anything to do with oil.

As the remaining reserves of oil dwindle, the spears and cannons will increasingly prove the ownership of the oil more than a peace treaty.

In the past, US President George W. Bush said that he started the Iraq war on God's instructions, and perhaps he was right, otherwise, why would God give Iraq oil at the same time as US aircraft carriers?

From this logic, those oil families who hold the lifeblood of the world cannot control the future of their own families.

"Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people to achieve great things." Lin Xiao looked at them and said, "If there are too many heirs, the possibility of splitting will intensify, and the unpredictable risk will also increase a lot. So, I'm not really optimistic that you will be the best partner for me. ”

At this time, even the fourth master understood what Lin Xiao meant.

Why the Lin family can stand out, there have been outstanding figures in the political arena for three generations, from the old man Lin, to the current Lin Zhengnan, and even Lin Xiao, who is already a deputy department-level substantive cadre in his early twenties, the key is that their family is in the same line, there are not so many collateral branches, and there is no unnecessary internal competition.

It is precisely because of this that the political resources of the family can be passed on smoothly, and for the insiders of the faction, there will be no unpredictable changes in the clear succession of power, and it is not easy to cause division.

But the Ye family in South China is completely different, although the old man Ye was invincible and heroic, but his biggest problem is that there are too many wives, too many children, and too many contradictions within the family.

As for Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu, the third generation, many second-generation children have spawned more and more third-generation children, and in this huge family, there may have been more than hundreds of heirs with and without reputation.

Therefore, there is a problem here, among these people, naturally everyone thinks that they are the heirs of the Ye family and can walk the rivers and lakes on behalf of the Ye family.

But in reality, this has caused cognitive confusion for outsiders.

There are so many of you, who can truly represent the Ye family? Doesn't everyone say that they are the master of the Ye family, right?

Therefore, this is called "lice do not bite when there are too many people".

The reason why the Rockefeller family can continue to be strong has a lot to do with the fact that their ancestors did not have a bad life, and the Saudi royal family is now in a more dangerous state of chaos, because the number of their harems is too large, even if it uses a quarter of the world's oil resources, it cannot withstand the efforts of tens of thousands of children and grandchildren.

"Brother Lin Xiao said this, but it made me feel a little embarrassed." When the fourth master heard this, he snorted on the side and said, "In the past, the title of prince was such a lofty term, but now it has been messed up by the Saudi royal family, hehe, tens of thousands of princes, it is estimated that there are still tens of thousands of princesses, this is really, how to say it?" Hehe. ”

Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu listened, but their faces were full of haze.

The problem that Lin Xiao just told them was indeed the biggest problem of their Ye family in South China.

It is good to have a great family and a big business, but in the case of internal contradictions and strong enemies outside, the more people there are, the more uneven their hearts are, and the easier it is for people to break through this huge fortress from the inside.

Now the upper authorities have long been extremely dissatisfied with the political influence of their South China Ye family, if they really want to do it one day, I am afraid that they will do it directly from within their South China Ye family, as Lin Xiao said.

Thinking of this danger, Ye Laosan and Ye Qianqiu, brothers and sisters, felt that their future was even bleaker.

Originally, they wanted to lean on Lin Xiao's big tree, but now that Lin Xiao refused to accept them, this plan failed, and the two siblings felt even more depressed.
