America’s Big Hero

Vol 2 Chapter 211: : Once Upon a Rockefeller

In fact, Sean didn't expect this bill to make him more money. First, it is impossible for this part of the collected fees to go to Sean. The government will definitely get a share of the pie. The side won't be too expensive.

After all, it was money from the gentry.

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

Get this done, there are still some troubles in the back.

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

When I came to the Peace Hotel by car, Hayden actually stayed at 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 taken aback and left without saying a word.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing?" Hayden struggled a few times with a bewildered face.

"I said, have you ever looked in the mirror recently, you're going to be **** dry!" Sean said with a black face, pointing to 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, "I just feel a little sleepy lately."

"However, just pick up a few leaves!"

Sean rolled his eyes, "Help me up, I can still fuck, right!"

Hayden nudged Sean with his shoulder, and said with a grin: "Don't say that, actually, you don't need to get up, just lie on the bed and enjoy."

"Don't say, there are so many beauties in your place." Hayden clicked his tongue.

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

I'll take you as a compliment!

However, there are quite a few.

This is the essence of some reborn person who did not want to be named, and has been painstakingly collected for decades.

Cultural essence!

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

sit.

Wow!

Of course, there are also 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 cultivate, but pulled him to talk about his own affairs.

"You want to buy a technology patent from your family?" Hayden blinked, and he woke up a little, "What kind of technology patent?"

"It's not an important patent. It's a part of the patent of electric furnace steelmaking. I want to build a steelmaking plant that uses electric furnace to make scrap steel." Sean said.

"Is that so, are you going to contact yourself? The family has shares in many steel plants. This is not a particularly advanced technology." Hayden's body just sat upright and wilted again.

"I have almost no contact with the family. I don't know who the **** should I call, **** it." Sean scolded.

Of course, this is not a matter of the Rockefeller family. Sean himself has never been to visit the elders of the family, and he has not even visited the family foundation even once.

Ha, Hayden laughed, but he can understand that Sean's achievements today are his own hands and feet...

he, tui!

It was shot by shot!

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

It is not the first time that the family has developed for a hundred years.

Of course, for someone as awesome as Sean, it's really special to be the first.

"Tomorrow, I'll get in touch, that's all, aha." Hayden opened his mouth with a big breath, and said without looking at him: "Find me a room, I have to sleep, I suddenly feel sleepy."

"Fake." Sean scolded, waving his hand to let the servant take Hayden to the upstairs guest room.

The more you know and the more familiar you are, the more Sean discovers that these super second and third generations who were once high in his eyes are all so tired and lazy in reality.

It was not until noon the next day that Hayden, who had slept all day, got up and went downstairs.

Without the little goblin by my side, people feel much better at once.

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

After a meal of supplements that Sean asked the chef to make, Hayden lay lazily on a lounger by the swimming pool, sipping juice while telling Sean some family gossip secrets.

Sean also thought that a big family with a long history abroad would start a family fund or something. The methods were very advanced, and there would be no infighting.

In fact, the situation greatly exceeded his expectations.

Quickly, Sean's ears twitched.

Gossip is the spiritual need of this era.

"Let me tell you, the third generation of David Rockefeller now controls the family."

Sean's mind turned, this is the youngest son of 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 and five brothers: John D. , the third is Lawrence Rockefeller, the fourth is Winthrop Rockefeller, the fifth is also the third generation: David Rockefeller)

"This is our grandfather, the fourth of the third generation, and the first to pass away. Grandpa David, who is now at the helm of the family, has a bad relationship with our family."

Sean's mouth twitched, "Why is the relationship not good!?"

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 was inferior to his younger brothers in ability.

Among them, the second brother is Nelson Aldridge Rockefeller. After graduating 30 years ago, he worked in the family business at the age of 22, became a director at the age of 25, and joined the government at the age of 32 as the mediator of the American affairs of the State Department.

At 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 International Development Advisory Committee.

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

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

1974-1977 as the vice president of the United States, like the moderate leader of the party.

This is a ruthless man. After unexpectedly losing the 1968 election to Nixon, who had quit politics for a long time, he sent his confidant Kissinger to the White House, and then used the Watergate incident to finally avenge his death. Nixon stepped down.

Kissinger was secretary of state for a term in the weak Ford administration.

In his later years, he was a prostitute and died in the office after indulging in indulgence.

In 1960, after the death of John D. Rockefeller, this man wanted to use the power in his hand to control the family power with one hand, but the eldest of the 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 the party nomination to Nixon was John Jr.'s handwriting.

In the end, little John, with the help of his third brother Lawrence Rockefeller and fifth brother David Rockefeller, snatched Nelson back from the family power from Nelson.

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

Generation of werewolf!

Of course, little John, who won the battle against his second brother Nelson, did not succeed in taking control of the family. The third brother, Lawrence Rockefeller, inherited his father's business acumen. In 1937, he inherited the New York Stock Exchange, which was bought by a generation. .

The fifth brother, the current master of the family, David Rockefeller, is even more powerful. This man has mastered the road of 'Gou' and succeeded in the struggle between the boss and the second child. Finally, the snipe and clam competed for the fisherman's profit and inherited the second child. Most of his political heritage, as the president of Manhattan Bank, although he does not directly participate in politics, he supports many political figures behind his back and participates in many political decisions.

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

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

Yes, just like Zipper, it's all Akon, color.

Different from the fifth child, Succeeds in the struggle between the first and second child and laughed at the end.

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

beaten to death...

He was the oldest of the five brothers to die.

As for ability... the difference between the governor and this thing may be bigger than the difference between humans and dogs.

Therefore, Sean's branch does not occupy much power in the family industry, and it has a very general relationship with the current three-generation head.

It's too far away, uncle.

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

For the first time, there was Rockefeller II to turn the tide.

It's harder the second time around.

However, this is not something that Sean can worry about now. Well, with his small physique, he is not qualified to worry about such national affairs.

Let's do a good job of this one-third of the acre first.

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

"You want to buy patents and build electric furnaces. It's actually very simple. You can directly contact the steel factory with the relevant patents. There are many, but it's best to visit our fifth uncle first." Said Hai Hai Deng glanced at Xiao En with a smile, "It's been more than two years, and you are now famous, and you haven't seen the patriarch yet."

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

"There is definitely no benefit on the bright side." Hayden shook his head. "After all, you don't have any shares in any company under the family name."

"However, after all, you are a member of the Rockefeller family, and your ability is outstanding. With the approval of the patriarch, the family foundation can pass on your family's recognized identity. They are all members of the Rockefeller family. There is a lot of convenience when dealing with a company that owns a certain share.”

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

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

Sean touched his chin and didn't speak.

Hayden didn't make it clear, but Sean understood.

He has no shares in any company under the family name. This visit to the patriarch David is considered to be a recognition of his ancestors. Do you want to replace the shares of the company under his name with the shares of some of the family's companies, or whether to accept the family fund? invest in companies under the name.

There's a lot to say here.

There was a lot of confusion for a while, making Sean hesitant.

He also didn't know what to choose.

Joining the family system is naturally beneficial. As long as there is no conflict of interest in the future, within the scope of cooperation, it will definitely be smooth and smooth.

However, even the decision-making is bound to be influenced by the family. Even if the shares are not exchanged, they are only accepted for investment.

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

If he doesn't join, he can only borrow a name. The real benefit is basically that he can't get it. The cooperation will continue as usual, but everything must be done according to normal business rules and contracts. At most, those companies under the family name will not cheat him .

But the advantage is absolute independence.

Sean fell heavily on the beach chair with a headache!

There is no one to discuss this matter, and no one can help him make a decision.

I don't have any appetite for dinner either, just eat a little bit of it.

Going to bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Sean had insomnia for the first time since he came to this world.

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

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

I'm in good health, it's not a big problem if I haven't slept well all night, and he looks more energetic than Hayden's fellow.

After breakfast, the two were ready to go out.

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

As the fifth generation of the family, there was no one to stop Hayden and Sean from coming. Of course, an appointment was necessary. Sean soon met the three-generation head of the Rockefeller family under the leadership of the secretary. Uncle, David Rockefeller.

As soon as the two entered the door, compared to Hayden who bowed to David honestly and politely, Sean quickly looked around the office, and then bowed slightly, without saying a word or saying hello.

David Rockefeller's office is surprisingly small, only about 40 square meters, with a large mahogany desk, a long sofa, a small bar for drinking in one corner, and bookcases on the walls, all kinds of The stack of books is full.

None of these old-school plutocrats have a temperament for luxury.

"Grandpa David, this is Sean Rockefeller, and his father's son." Hayden pointed to Sean and introduced.

(Not to mention the issue of foreign names, after all, it is for our own people)

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

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

It's not good that I won't live to be 101 years old later...

"Hello, little Sean, I've heard of your name, hehe." David Rockefeller seemed very kind and unassuming, after making a small joke, he said, "Sit down, before me Don't be so polite here."

"Thank you." The two thanked them. Hayden sat upright, with his legs together and his hands on his lap. Sean's legs were split, one hand resting on the armrest next to him, and the other pressing against the sofa.

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

Entering an unfamiliar place and subconsciously observing the environment for the first time shows that this kid has a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire for self-protection. To be honest, he appears as the protagonist and central character on weekdays.

People's subconscious behavior can best reflect some things.

The old man has been vertical and horizontal for more than 70 years, and his eyes are very poisonous.

Without mentioning a business matter, David smiled and asked about Sean's situation. He chatted throughout the whole process. He even asked if Sean had a girlfriend and when he was going to get married, which made Sean a little dumbfounded.

Co-author is not only the elder of the rabbit who likes to urge marriage?

But I can't see that the relationship that Hayden said is not very good is a matter. When Sean thinks about it, it is all the matter of the senior. The old man is in control now, the position is different, the angle of view is different, the two have nothing. Threatening juniors are not worth targeting at all.

After chatting for a full half an hour, David seemed to have had enough fun, which led to the topic of business.

"In the past year, many old friends have mentioned you in front of me, starting from scratch, and saying that there is another outstanding person in the Rockefeller family."

"It's all random tossing." Sean still subconsciously and modestly said whether it was the soul of the rabbit.

"Hahaha, it would be great if everyone else was like you, and you are humble." David smiled and glanced at Hayden.

Hayden: Look what I'm doing...

"It's not humility." Sean said seriously: "The manager team approached me a few times and said that my business, um, was too chaotic, scattered and unsystematic."

"This is a fact. I myself admit that I have not received any higher education, nor do I understand any business philosophy, nor do I have any experience to pass on. It's really messy."

"I came to see Grandpa David this time because I wanted Grandpa David to teach me."

"After all, I'm not a witness, I can only speak from the perspective of a bystander." David pondered for a while and said.

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 will not pay attention.

But Sean has risen rapidly in the past two years, and he has created such a big battle, how could he not pay attention.

Even Sean's size is completely incomparable to Rockefeller.

"First of all, decentralization and system are two completely different business ideas. In essence, they can't be called good or bad. Managers are good and bad, but there are no business ideas." David spoke slowly, as if afraid Sean couldn't understand, "Systematic management can give full play to the advantages of the system and have a greater influence, but when risks come, it must be the whole that bears the impact."

"The possibility of an overall collapse would be relatively large in comparison."

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

"There is little chance of a collective collapse of all corporate industries."

"Essentially, major consortiums can be considered decentralized operations, such as our Rockefeller, which invests in petroleum, chemical industry, steel, raw materials, electronics, manufacturing, sports, clothing, finance, media, entertainment, real estate... Many industries have investments and mutual interests. linkage, but it is not a complete system, and sharing risks is very important.”

"So, there is no need to think too much about this, just follow your own ideas." David said with a smile.

Phew~~!

Sean sighed silently, he really thought he must be wrong.

It turned out that it wasn't my fault, but that the level of the stuff under him was not good enough. No, it should be said that the height of the station was not enough.

This may be due to the different perspectives of professional managers and directors.

"However." David suddenly changed his style.

The word 'but' scared Sean to mention it again.

"Decentralization is fine, but it's better to have a core."

"Core?" Sean asked after turning his head, "Bank?"

"The core can be the bank, but the bank is not necessarily the core." David shook his head with a smile.

"What is the core? The core is the center of all industries. It should not only provide funds and relationship support during development, but also provide sufficient shelter when danger comes." David said slowly: "This That's the core."

"For a chestnut, your X security is the core."

"Security X?" Sean frowned. Although he regarded Security X as his foundation, he said, "Asylum can be sheltered, but X Security cannot provide financial support. Can this be considered the core?"

"Why not? It doesn't have to be funds, it can also be relationships. What's more, the Jonas family provided a lot of funding sources during your early development." After speaking, the 70-year-old man winked at Sean. Eye.

Sean: "…"

The old guy knows quite well.

"Okay!" Sean shrugged, it's useless not to pretend to be intimidating in front of celebrities.

"But..." David seemed to have a bad taste. He changed the subject again, pulled up a long tone, and looked at Sean and said.

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 is not dozens or hundreds of years ago. It is not that X security is useless, but, most of the time, It has power, but you can't use it."

Sean raised his brows. He also felt this. However, he felt a little hazy before and felt tied down. The old man's words really woke him up.

Before facing Santos, when facing Brewster Jesse, he did not dare to directly use the power of X security, and could only use some secret methods to use Yin people.

Very unpleasant!

If the Rockefeller consortium wants to clean up them, they can openly and aboveboard from the sponsors behind them, the party, and the law at the same time, and appear in a crushing posture.

Of course, it is even more likely that the two of them will be 'invisible' from now on, even if you still show up every day and are still working, but there is no news of you in the media and society, everyone is alienated from you, and the living people are lonely and have disappeared completely. before the public.

"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 his main business is a company under his own name. It is the center of capital allocation, and it is far from such a deterrent.

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

"Join the family consortium?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said.

David didn't speak, just stared at Sean like that.

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

Hayden suddenly felt that the air seemed to be sticky, and his body shrank hard, trying to make himself smaller. He cursed Sean for being too direct, and said silently, he couldn't see me, he couldn't see me.

After a while, David suddenly laughed, shook his head with a smile, "This is not a good way."

There was no expression on Sean's 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 I can ask for less, but he will never join a family consortium or accept investment.

He came for benefits, not for Dad.

It was just a test just now, but now listening to the old man say that, the whole person is relaxed.

Even though Sean hid it well, David still saw it and pointed it out directly: "Even if you join the consortium as a whole, it will not bring any substantial benefit to the consortium, so it is completely unnecessary, and it will delay you. It’s a lose-lose situation for its own development.”

David looked out the window and suddenly said, "I like observing animals and insects. I have collected 40,000 completely different insect specimens."

Sean looked at David with a bewildered expression, completely ignoring why the other party suddenly mentioned this.

Does the consortium have even one Vietnamese dong relationship with the bug?

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

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

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

"Because, I'm an adult!" Sean twitched the corners of his mouth. What's the need to ask?

"No!" David shook his head and said with a serious face: "Because, if he continues 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 segment of time, even if it has the ability, if it is not controlled, it will collapse. Everything has its limit."

Sean frowned, and the old man suddenly jumped from business management to biology, and then from biology to philosophy, which made Sean, who had not received higher education, completely unacceptable.

I want to hit people!

Jonas: You know that too!

In the past, Sean's thinking was so strong that his subordinates couldn't accept it, but this time he also realized it.

This is how Sean was crushed in terms of IQ and knowledge. He didn't understand what "philosophy is the science of science". When you can't find the answer in science, you can go to philosophy.

"Taking countries as chestnuts, Rome was too big and eventually led to division. The Mongol Empire was also too big and had to be divided into multiple countries." Fortunately, David did not continue to detour, and directly gave an example.

"The consortium is actually the same."

"If wealth could be increased with development, then Rockefeller would have dominated the United States long ago, and there would be no Morgan consortium, Citibank consortium, DuPont consortium, Boston consortium, etc. In fact, well, if it can really be like this , the British Empire will not collapse, oh, no, it should be the Spanish royal family, hahahaha." David suddenly laughed.

"Rockefeller has reached a certain size, and his wealth has increased by several hundred million. There is no real use of the ten or twenty billion. This is the bottleneck."

"And breaking through the bottleneck is not necessarily a good thing. It's like an elephant, if it suddenly doubles in size, it will die by itself."

"You understand, little guy!" David grinned and looked at Sean with a smile.

Hehe, hehe, Sean laughed dryly.

I really don't understand, I haven't gotten to that point yet.

But he could understand what the old man meant. The Rockefeller consortium is now an elephant, and he is a bug.

It's not even poisonous.

But the words are not rough. Compared with the force of X security, Rockefeller has Lockheed, Martin, Boeing and so on.

Bank, Rockefeller has, Chase Manhattan (Note 1).

Petrochemical, um, not to mention...

Other, forget it...

So embarrassing!

Damn, Sean felt so embarrassed, with his thick skin, his cheeks felt a little hot.

Of course, it's just hot.

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

Slightly hot is the limit.

In David's eyes, the most important thing is to not lose out in the fight against the other seven consortiums.

Sean?

It's a kid, a talking point to show off at other undead meetings.

That's it.

Of course, David is also very happy to see the energetic young people, chatting with these backs more, and feeling a little younger too.

It's an old man after all.

But, Sean wants to go a step further?

Let's wait until Sean is truly qualified to stand in front of himself after he puts aside the Rockefeller surname.

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

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

"I didn't actually care, UU reading www.uukanshu.com After all, my living conditions were pretty good when I was a child. Although my mother never worked or used drugs, I still went to a private aristocratic school. If it wasn't for my mother's drug use If the overdose suddenly passed away." Sean shrugged, "I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand that when I was a child, it was the family's foundation that supported me. I will never forget this."

"That's good!" David smiled, and finally said after hesitating, "Finally, I can give you a small suggestion."

"Grandpa Fifth, please give pointers!" Sean's face immediately filled with respect.

"Do you know the patent company?" David nodded when he saw Sean, "In the future world, peace is the main tone, the role of guns will be greatly reduced, and relying on the United States, patented weapons will be able to play 200% of the role. "

"Especially when the world's largest country, Rockefeller, and X Security Company are standing behind you."

"One bible, one pistol!" Sean's eyes suddenly lit up, and he could not wait to slap himself, yes, how could he, a later generation, forget the issue of patents!

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