In fact, Sean didn't expect this bill to make him much more money, first, this part of the collected fees can't all go to Sean, the government will definitely have a piece of the pie, and second, it won't be too high for a while.

After all, it was from the hands of the gentry.

The main thing Sean likes is that it is free, and of course, he doesn't mind if he can earn a little more.

Get this done, and there's a bit of trouble ahead.

When Sean returned to Newark, he contacted his cheap brother Hayden.

Coming to the Peace Hotel by car, Hayden actually stayed in the Peace Hotel for half a month, which Sean didn't expect.

Sure enough, LSP is the ultimate driving force for the progress of human society.

When he saw Hayden, Sean was startled and pulled people away without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?" Hayden struggled a few times with a bewildered expression.

"I mean, haven't you looked in the mirror lately, you're going to fucking get fucking drained!" Sean said with a dark face, reaching out and pointing at Hayden's thick dark circles.

"Yes, I don't feel it!" Hayden, who was forcibly pulled into the car by Sean, raised his hand and touched his face and said, "It's just that I haven't felt enough sleep recently." ”

"Just smoke a few leaves, though!"

Sean rolled his eyes widely, "Help me up, I can it!" ”

Hayden pushed Sean on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, actually, you don't have to get up, just lie on the bed and enjoy it." ”

"Don't say it, you have a lot of tricks here." Hayden's mouth smacked.

In a word, Sean doesn't know what to say.

I'll just take you as a compliment!

However, there are a lot of tricks.

These are all the essences that a reborn person who does not want to be named has painstakingly collected over decades.

The essence of culture!

For example, a trick 'spiral sitting lotus', on the basis of ordinary lotus, with high-altitude rings for rotation exercises,

Sit.

Wow!!

Of course, there are also those that are suitable for female customers.

After all, Sean is a staunch egalitarian, how could he not consider the feelings of female customers.

Ahem, Sean didn't send Hayden directly to recuperate, but pulled him to talk about himself.

"You're going to buy a technology patent from your family?" Hayden blinked, and the person suddenly sobered up, "What kind of technology patent?" ”

"It's not an important patent, it's a part of the patent for electric furnace steelmaking, I'm going to build a steelmaking plant that uses an electric furnace to smelt scrap steel." Sean said.

"In this case, do you want to contact it yourself, the family has shares in many steel mills, and this is not a particularly advanced technology." Hayden's body that had just sat up straight withered again.

"I have very little contact with the family side, I don't even know who the fuck to turn to, damn it." Sean scolded.

Of course, this is not the Rockefeller family's business, it is Sean himself who has never visited the family elders, and he has not even visited the family foundation once.

Ha, Hayden scoffed, but he could also understand that Sean's achievement today was his own one-handed ......

he，tui！

It's shot at gun!

Sean is quite arrogant in his bones, and he is still the illegitimate child of the family, so it is normal to be a little awkward.

The family has developed for a hundred years, and this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Of course, it's really the first one to be like Sean.

"Tomorrow, I'll get in touch, that's all, aha." Hayden opened his mouth and let out a big sigh, and said without a hint of surprise: "Find me a room, I need to sleep, and suddenly I feel so sleepy." ”

"Fake." Sean cursed and waved his hand for the maid to take Hayden upstairs to the guest room.

The more he knows, the more familiar he becomes, the more Sean discovers that these super second and third generations who were once high in his eyes are so lazy in reality.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Hayden, who had slept all day, got up and went downstairs.

Without the goblin by his side, people suddenly became a lot more energetic.

It's just that the time to get down to business today is gone......

After a meal of tonic that Sean had make in the kitchen, Hayden lazily lay on a lounger by the pool, sipping on juice and telling Sean some family gossip secrets.

Sean also thought that the big family with a long tradition abroad would engage in family funds or something, and the methods were very advanced, so there would be no infighting.

In fact, the situation was much more than he expected.

Shuffled, Sean's ears were ridged.

Gossip is the spiritual necessity of this era.

"Let me tell you, it's David Rockefeller of the third generation who is now in charge of the family."

Sean's mind turned, this is the youngest son of little Rockefeller, the youngest son of the third generation.

(PS: Rockefeller Family Genealogy: First Generation: John D. Rockefeller I, Second Generation: John D. Rockefeller II, Third Generation Five Brothers: Old and Small John D. Rockefeller, Second Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, Third Lawrence Rockefeller, Fourth Winthrop Rockefeller, Fifth and Third Generation: David Rockefeller)

"This is the fourth of the third generation, the earliest of our grandfathers, and now Grandpa David, who is at the helm of the family, has a bad relationship with our family."

The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, "Why is it a bad relationship!?" ”

It turned out that after the death of the second generation of John D. Rockefeller II, the family should theoretically be handed over to the eldest of the third generation, John D. Rockefeller III Jr.

However, John Rockefeller III Jr. was inferior in ability to his younger brothers.

Among them, the second brother is Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who after graduating in 30 years, he worked in the family business at the age of 22, became a director at the age of 25, and entered the government at the age of 32 as a mediator for the Americas affairs of the State Department.

At the age of 36, he was promoted to Assistant Secretary of State for Americas Affairs.

At the age of 42, he served as chairman of the Truman administration's Advisory Committee on International Development.

At the age of 44, he served as Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Council and Deputy Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower Administration.

At the age of 50, he successfully ran for governor of New York, and served four terms as governor of New York until 1973.

From 1974 to 1977, he served as Vice President of the United States and leader of the moderate wing of the Elephant Party.

This is a ruthless man, in the 1968 election, after unexpectedly losing to Nixon, who had retired from politics for a long time, in the party nomination, he sent his henchman Kissinger to the White House, and then used the Watergate scandal to finally take revenge and oust Nixon.

Having served as vice president in the weak Ford administration, Kissinger was then secretary of state.

In his later years, he was dissolute and died in the office after indulging in lust.

In 1960, after the death of John Rockefeller, he wanted to use the power in his hands to control the family power with one hand, but the eldest of three generations, John D. Rockefeller Jr., did not do it, and the two fought in family affairs.

It is rumored that the reason why Nelson lost to Nixon in the party nomination was John Jr.

Eventually, John Jr., with the help of his third brother Lawrence Rockefeller and fifth brother David Rockefeller, snatched Nelson back from the family's hands.

In his later years, Nelson stepped down from the vice presidency at the age of 69, lost his family power, and his political career ended, and Nelson, who was unacceptable for a while, indulged in indulgence, and finally, died in the office at the age of 71 on a woman's belly.

A generation of werewolves!

Of course, John Jr., who won the second brother Nelson, did not succeed in controlling the family power, and the third brother, Lawrence Rockefeller, inherited his father's business acumen and inherited the New York Stock Exchange in 1937, which was bought by the first generation, and was the father of venture capital.

The fifth brother, that is, the current controller of the family, David Rockefeller, is even more powerful, this one who controls the road of 'Gou', and successfully laughs in the struggle between the eldest and the second in the end, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, inheriting most of the political legacy of the second, as the president of the Bank of Manhattan, although he is not directly involved in politics, but he supports many politicians behind his back and participates in many political decisions.

And Sean and Hayden's grandfather, Winthrop D. Rockefeller, is the fourth in the family.

This one is amazing, and he used to be the governor of Arkansas!

Yes, it's the same as the zipper, it's Akon, color.

is different from the fifth, and the success laughs at the end in the struggle of the eldest and the second.

The fourth child has a good relationship with the second Nelson, both take the political line, and stand on Nelson's side in the struggle.

Killed......

He was the first of the five brothers to die.

As for ability...... The difference between the governor and the dog is probably bigger than the difference between a man and a dog.

Therefore, Sean's branch does not have much power in the family business, and the relationship with the current three generations of heads is also very average.

It's too far away, Grandpa.

If the split of the Rockefeller family was the beginning of the decline of the Rockefeller family, then this family power struggle is the starting point of the second decline of the family.

For the first time, there was Rockefeller II who turned the tide.

This second time it's hard.

However, this is not something that Sean can worry about now, well, he is not qualified to worry about such a national event with his small body now.

It's better to do a good job of your own one-third of an acre of land first.

After chatting about the gossip at home, Hayden got down to business.

"If you want to buy a patent and build an electric furnace, this matter is actually very simple, just contact the steel factory with the relevant patent, which is a lot, but it is best to visit our fifth uncle first." Saying that, Hayden glanced at Sean with a smile, "It's been more than two years, and you are also famous now, and you haven't seen the patriarch yet." ”

Heh, Sean chuckled, "What's the benefit?" ”

"There is definitely no benefit on the surface." Hayden shook his head, "After all, you don't have any shares in any of the companies in your family's name. ”

"However, after all, you are a member of the Rockefeller family, and you are very outstanding in ability, and if you are recognized by the patriarch, the family foundation will be able to pass on the identity recognized by your family, and you are all members of the Rockefeller family, and you will provide a lot of convenience when dealing with companies that are controlled by the family or have a certain share."

"Then what are you waiting for, make an appointment!" Sean urged.

"Hehe, you'd better plan ahead too." Hayden gave a meaningful look.

Sean touched his chin and didn't speak.

Hayden didn't explain it, but Sean understood.

He does not have shares in any company under his family's name, and this visit to the patriarch David is considered to be regarded as recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, whether to take out the shares of the company under his name and replace the shares of some companies in the family, or whether to accept the family fund to invest in the company under his name.

There's a lot to talk about here.

It was chaotic for a while, which made Sean very hesitant.

He didn't know what to choose.

Joining the family system naturally has a lot of benefits, and as long as there is no conflict of interest in the future, within the scope of cooperation, it will definitely be unimpeded and smooth sailing.

However, even the decision-making is inevitably influenced by the family, even if it does not exchange shares, it only accepts investment.

After all, compared to the size of the Rockefeller family, the current Sean is nothing.

If he doesn't join, he can only borrow a name, and the substantive advantage is that he basically can't get it, and the cooperation is still the same, but everything must be done in accordance with normal business rules and contracts, at most, those companies under the name of the family will not cheat him.

But the advantage is absolute independence.

Sean slumped on the beach chair with a headache!

There was no one to discuss this, and no one could help him make a decision.

I didn't have much appetite for dinner, so I just ate a little bit of it.

went to bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, Sean had insomnia for the first time since coming to this world.

It wasn't until dawn that I fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, a pillar of optimus ......

Good health, not sleeping well all night is not a big problem, and it looks much more energetic than Hayden's.

After breakfast, the two of them prepared to go out.

David Rockefeller, born on June 12, 1915, has been living in Rockefeller Center in New York after taking control of the Rockefeller family, in charge of the family office.

As the fifth generation of the family, Hayden and Sean did not stop the arrival of anyone, of course, an appointment is a must, and Sean soon met the third generation of the head of the Rockefeller family under the leadership of the secretary, his own cheap fifth uncle, David Rockefeller.

As soon as the two entered the door, compared to Hayden, who bowed to David honestly and politely, Sean quickly looked left and right at the office, and then bowed slightly, did not speak, and did not say hello.

David Rockefeller's office is unexpectedly not big, about 40 square meters, a large mahogany desk, a couch, a small drinking bar in the corner, and a bookcase on the wall, full of all kinds of books.

These old-fashioned plutocrats are not extravagant people.

"Grandpa David, this is Sean Rockefeller, and the son of his father." Hayden pointed at Sean and introduced.

(Don't talk about the problem of foreign names, after all, it is for our own people)

"Hello Grandpa David." Sean bowed and said hello, his eyes glancing at the head of the famous family.

70-year-old David Rockefeller is a short and fat man, his face is full of fat, and his body is slightly rickety, but he is still in good spirits.

If it's not good, it won't live to be 101 years old......

"Hello, little Sean, I've heard of your name, hehe." David Rockefeller seemed very kind, didn't end the shelf, made a little joke and said, "Sit down, you don't have to be so polite here." ”

"Thank you." The two thanked each other, and Hayden sat upright, his legs together, his hands on his legs, and Sean's legs split, one hand on the armrest next to him, and the other on the sofa.

Observing the sitting posture of the two, David did not speak, and looked at Sean carefully.

Entering a strange place, subconsciously observing the environment for the first time, it shows that this kid has a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire for self-protection.

People's subconscious behaviors are the most reflective of something.

The old man has been in the country for more than 70 years, and his eyes are very poisonous.

didn't mention a word about business, David smiled and asked some about Sean's situation, chatting all the way, even asking Sean if he had a girlfriend and when he was going to get married, which made Sean a little crying and laughing.

Co-authoring is not just the rabbit's elders who like to urge marriage?

I can't see that the relationship between Hayden's mouth is not very good, in Sean's mind, it is all about the elders, the old man is now in control, the position is different, the angle of looking at the problem is different, the two non-threatening juniors are not worth targeting at all.

After chatting for half an hour, David seemed to be having enough fun, and then the topic was brought to business.

"In the past year, many old friends have mentioned you in front of me, self-made, and they all say that our Rockefeller family has produced another outstanding person."

"It's all messing around." In the end, it is the soul of a rabbit, Sean still subconsciously said modestly.

"Hahaha, if only everyone else was as good at tossing around as you are, you're humble." David smiled and glanced at Hayden.

Hayden: Look at what I'm doing......

"It's not modesty." Sean said with some seriousness: "The manager team has approached me several times and said that my business, well, is too chaotic, scattered, and unsystematic. ”

"This is a fact, and I admit that I have no higher education, I don't know any business philosophy, and I don't have any experience inheritance, which is really messy."

"I came to Grandpa David this time, and I also wanted Grandpa David to teach me."

"After all, I'm not a witness, I can only talk from the perspective of a bystander." David pondered for a moment and spoke.

After all, Sean is a member of the Rockefeller family, if it doesn't work, then that's it, there are more than 100 people in the family, and David won't pay attention.

But Sean has risen rapidly in the past two years, and he has made such a big battle, how can he not pay attention to it.

Even if Sean's size is completely incomparable to that of Rockefeller.

"First of all, decentralization and system, these are two completely different business ideas, in essence, not good or bad, managers have good or bad high and low, business ideas do not." David said very slowly, as if he was afraid that Sean would not understand, "Systematic management can give greater play to the advantages of the system and have greater influence, but when the risk comes, it is the whole that will bear the impact." ”

"The likelihood of an overall collapse will be relatively large."

"Decentralized operation does make every company and industry unable to exert all its energy, which will cause a certain degree of waste, slow down the development speed, and compress competitiveness, but when the storm comes, it can effectively avoid a large part of it."

"There is almost no possibility of a collective collapse of all companies and industries."

"In essence, the major consortia are also decentralized, such as our Rockefeller, in petroleum, chemical, steel, raw materials, electronics, manufacturing, sports, clothing, finance, media, entertainment, real estate, ...... Many industries have investments and are linked to each other, but they are not a complete system, and it is important to share risks. ”

"So, there's no need to think too much about this, just go your own way." David said with a smile.

Call~~!

Sean let out a silent breath, he really thought he must be wrong.

It turns out that it's not my fault, it's that the level of the things under my command is not enough, no, it should be said that the height of the station is not enough.

This may be because professional managers and chairmen look at problems from different angles.

"Still." David suddenly changed his style.

The word 'but' scared Sean's heart and raised it again.

"It's okay to be decentralized, but it's better to have a core."

"Core?" Sean turned his mind and asked, "Bank?" ”

"The core can be a bank, but not all banks are the core." David smiled and shook his head.

"What is the core, the core is the center of all industries, it is not only to provide financial and relational support in development, but also to provide adequate shelter when danger comes." David said slowly, "This is the core. ”

"Take a chestnut, your x security is the core."

"X security?" Sean frowned, although he regarded X security as his foundation, but, "Asylum can be sheltered, but, X security can't provide financial support, can this be considered the core?" ”

"Why not, it doesn't have to be funds, it can also be relationships, not to mention, the Jonas family didn't provide a source of funds when you were developing in the early stage." As he spoke, the 70-year-old man winked at Sean.

Sean: "......"

The old guy knows pretty well.

"Okay!" Sean shrugged, it was useless not to pretend to be secretive in front of celebrities.

"But what about ......," David said, as if he had a bad taste, changed the topic again, pulled up a long tone, and looked at Sean.

Sean's heart tightened again.

"The security company is not a very good core." David said slowly again: "The mainstream of the world is still peace, it's not decades or hundreds of years ago, it's not that X security is useless, but, most of the time, it has power, but you can't use it." ”

Sean raised his eyebrows, he also felt this, but he felt a little hazy before, and he felt constrained, and the old man's words really woke him up.

In the face of Santos before, when facing Brewster Jesse, he didn't dare to directly use the power of X security, and could only sneak up on some yin methods.

Very unpleasant!

If the Rockefeller consortium wants to clean them up, it can completely act openly from the financiers, the party, and the law behind them at the same time, and appear in a crushing posture.

Of course, it is more likely that the two of you will be 'invisible' from now on, even if you still appear every day and are still working, but the media and society do not see any news about you, everyone is alienated from you, and the living people are lonely and completely disappear from the public.

"And what about the core of the family?" Sean asked directly.

"Consortium, we can influence all walks of life through the consortium, this is a net, no one can escape, and we can always influence the 'enemy' through some industries."

"This, I can ......" Sean shook his head, he also has a bank under his name, but the main business is the company under his name, which is regarded as the center of fund allocation, and it is far from this deterrent.

"I can't give you advice, it's up to you to find it yourself." David shook his head.

"Join the family consortium?" Sean suddenly looked up and said.

David didn't speak, just stared at Sean.

Sean didn't speak, and the two looked at each other.

Hayden suddenly felt as if the air was sticky, and his body shrank hard, trying to make himself smaller, and cursed Sean in his heart for speaking too directly, while muttering silently, not seeing me, not seeing me.

Halfway through, David suddenly laughed and shook his head with a smile, "This is not a good idea." ”

Sean didn't have any expression on his face, but his heart was greatly relieved.

On the way here, he thought about it, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and the benefits of Lao Tzu could be less, but he would never follow the family consortium or accept investment.

He's here to ask for favors, not to find his father.

It was just a temptation just now, but now when I heard the old man say this, the whole person relaxed.

Although Sean hid it well, David still saw it and directly singled out: "Even if you join the consortium as a whole, there will be no substantial benefits to the consortium, so it is completely unnecessary, it will delay your own development, which is a lose-lose situation." ”

David looked out the window and suddenly said, "I like to observe animals, observe insects, and I have a collection of 40,000 completely different insect specimens. ”

Sean looked at David with a confused expression, completely unable to understand why the other party suddenly said this.

Does the consortium have a relationship with the bugs for even one VND?

The old man turned his head, looked at Sean with a smile and asked, "Do you know about elephants?" ”

Sean didn't know why, so he could only nod.

"The elephant is already the largest living creature on land, it has no natural predators, it has to eat a lot of food every day, but why doesn't the elephant continue to grow up when it is an adult?"

"Because, I'm an adult!" The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, do you still need to ask?

"No!" David shook his head and said with a serious face: "Because, if you continue to grow up, the elephant's internal organs and legs will not be able to bear it, and he will collapse himself." ”

"A small bacterium, as big as a country, in a certain fragment of time, even if it has the ability, if it is not controlled, it will collapse, and everything has its limit."

Sean frowned, and the old man suddenly jumped from business management to biology, and from biology to philosophy, which was completely unacceptable to Sean, who had no higher education.

I really want to hit someone!

Jonas: You know!

In the past, Sean had a strong leap in thinking, which made his subordinates unacceptable, but this time he also realized it.

This is why Sean is crushed in IQ and knowledge, he doesn't understand what it means to 'philosophy is the science of science', when you can't find the answer in science, you can go and look at philosophy.

"With the country as the chestnut, Rome was too big and eventually led to division, and the Mongol Empire was also too big and had to be divided into many countries." Fortunately, David didn't continue to go around the bend, and directly gave an example.

"It's the same with consortia."

"If wealth could have increased with development, then, Rockefeller would have dominated the United States a long time ago, and there would be no Morgan consortium, Citibank consortium, DuPont consortium, Boston consortium, in fact, well, if it was really possible, the British Empire would not collapse, oh no, it should be the Spanish royal family, hahahaha." David burst out laughing.

"Rockefeller has reached a certain size, and his wealth has increased by hundreds of millions, and there is no real use of more than ten or twenty billion, which is the bottleneck."

"And breaking through the bottleneck is not necessarily a good thing, just like an elephant, if it suddenly doubles in size, then it will die on its own."

"Do you understand, little one!" David grinned and looked at Sean.

Heh, hehe, Sean laughed dryly.

I don't understand, I'm not at that point.

But he understood what the old man meant, the Rockefeller consortium is now an elephant, and he is a worm, so it's useless to eat fart.

It's still poisonous.

However, the words are not rough, compared to the force of X security, Rockefeller has Lockheed, Martin, Boeing, and so on.

Banks, Rockefeller have, Chase Manhattan (Note 1).

Petrochemicals, well, let's not talk about it......

Other, forget it......

It's embarrassing!

Damn, Sean felt panicked, and with his cheekiness, he felt his cheeks slightly hot.

Of course, it's just hot.

It is impossible to blush and it is impossible to blush in this life.

A slight heat is the limit.

In David's eyes, the most important thing is not to fall behind in the struggle with the other seven major consortia.

Sean?

It's a child, a talking point that can be flaunted in meetings with other old immortals.

That's it.

Of course, David was also very happy to see the energetic young people, and he talked more about these backs, feeling that he was also younger.

After all, it's an old man.

But, Sean wants to go further?

Wait until Sean puts aside the surname Rockefeller and is really qualified to stand in front of him.

The secretary knocked on the door and walked in to remind David that there was an important conference call, and Sean immediately stood up and said goodbye.

"Sean, the things of the early years are over, don't you mind, now that you have returned to the family, you will often come back to see it, and walk around with the people in the family more." David said with a smile.

"I didn't really care, after all, my living conditions were still very good when I was a child, although my mother never worked and took drugs, but I still went to a private aristocratic school, if it wasn't for my mother's drug overdose and suddenly passed away." Sean shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't understand it then, but now I understand that when I was a child, it was the family's foundation that supported me, and I won't forget this." ”

"That's good!" David smiled, and finally thought about it and said, "Finally, I can give you a little advice. ”

"Please ask the fifth grandfather for advice!" Sean's face immediately filled with respect.

"Do you know about patent companies?" David saw Sean nodding, "In the future world, peace is the main keynote, and the role of guns and cannons will be greatly reduced, but relying on the United States, patented weapons will be able to play 200% of the role." ”

"Especially when you have the world's number one power standing behind you, standing Rockefeller, and standing X Security."

"One hand Bible, one hand pistol!" Sean's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't wait to slap himself, yes, how could he, a person from later generations, forget about the patent problem!

"You're such a smart little fellow." David praised again.
