Chapter 122: Financial Group Meeting (3)

The Rockefeller financial group of that year was so powerful. Relying on oil to make a fortune, through various means, they snatched a large number of oil fields from others and established their own oil empire step by step. At that time, two-thirds of the people in the United States were working for the Rockefeller family. However, such an existence was directly split in the face of an antitrust law, without even a little room for maneuver, which made Morgan feel terrified.

This is also why later, after the Morgan financial empire was established, they didn't dare to challenge the William family head-on. However, now, with the globalization of finance, although Morgan's control over Wall Street has weakened, its influence has grown to an unimaginable level. This is also where his confidence lies.

You William family were established at the beginning of the founding of the country and control the United States, so what? Globally, the United States is just a country, although it is a global hegemon.

This is also the basis for Morgan's challenge to William. I didn't expect that the first probe would cause such a big mistake. The DuPont financial group, which had always thought it was under Morgan's control, had quietly acquired 130 banks, enough to integrate into four medium-sized banks. Although it was impossible to achieve the purpose of DuPont financial group's financing and anti-risk, it was enough to let them have one more way out.

Of course, more importantly, the DuPont financial group spoke out to help Ye Nan when he was making trouble for the William family, which made him have to consider whether the DuPont family was showing favor to the William family.

Under the three major families in the United States are the top ten financial groups. The strength of these financial groups is not bad. Although they cannot compare with the three major families, if they are allowed to unite, even Morgan and Rockefeller have to consider the consequences. Maybe they will capsize in the gutter.

"Old DuPont, what do you mean?" Morgan looked at DuPont, his momentum aggressive.

"Just heard that the ICQ company doesn't have its own bank yet, and want to help him. After all, a financial group without a bank cannot be called a financial group." DuPont avoided Morgan expressionlessly, his attitude a bit ambiguous.

"What does this DuPont want to do?" Ye Nan speculated constantly in his heart.

The intersection between the ICQ company and the DuPont financial group is not deep, and he has no marriage relationship with the DuPont financial group. These are completely two strangers. How could he suddenly extend a helping hand, and it was so timely and so incredible.

If it is said that the helmsman of the financial group is a good person, then Ye Nan will laugh off his teeth. This is like someone saying in Ye Nan's ear that a sow can climb a tree.

"Then what is it? Look at my development prospects? Impossible. Although the Internet is an emerging industry like oil and finance back then, the time for the Internet to appear is too short. If you want to grow to the level of Morgan and Rockefeller, it will take decades. And the Rockefeller back then was not just oil."

Back then, Rockefeller made a fortune in oil, but constantly entered other industries: steel, ships, coal, cotton, beef, etc. As long as it was an industry that could make money, there was his figure. It was also because of this that the American business back then could be said to be a mess, and there were voices of "the wolf is coming" everywhere.

This point did not improve until Rockefeller was split. Other financial groups took advantage of Rockefeller's difficulties to fall into the trap and wantonly divided Rockefeller's industry to strengthen themselves, thus forming the so-called top ten financial groups. To some extent, most of the current financial groups stepped on the Rockefeller family to come up.

"Since it is not looking at my development prospects, then what will it be?" Ye Nan carefully looked at DuPont, wanting to find out why he would look at himself like this.

"Strange, why is this? Wait..." A thought flashed through Ye Nan's heart. He immediately grasped it and looked at old DuPont firmly....

Yes, DuPont is old. He is too old, so old that he can't walk. He doesn't want to die and hand over power to his descendants, so he wants to make friends with Ye Nan and get the medicine for rejuvenation.

"DuPont is also looking up to me too much. Douglas regards the blood orchid as extremely precious and will not easily let others touch it. And those medicines need to use the juice of the blood orchid as material to rejuvenate." Ye Nan laughed at himself in his heart, but on the surface, he was constantly thinking about how to use this point.

According to Xu Nuo, he can get a part of the blood orchid juice next year, but it is only a small part. And these juices are used by him to develop medicines, intending to use the blood orchid juice to further improve his physical strength. But the temptation given by the DuPont financial group is really great.

Thirty small banks are sold in a package, and after a little integration, it is a medium-sized bank. But accepting it means that he owes DuPont a favor. The biggest possibility for this favor is to exchange it with blood orchid juice.

"Should I take it or not?" Ye Nan was entangled in his heart. The thirty banks in front of him are a huge cake. Once eaten, the ICQ company will transform into a financial group, and its strength will increase greatly. But this needs to be exchanged with blood orchid juice.

One side is his own strength, and the other side is the strength of the financial group, which makes him really entangled and doesn't know how to choose.

"Coming here this time is to discuss how to deal with the military, and whether ICQ is a financial group should have nothing to do with it." Douglas said, "We came here this time because the army has broken away from our control, so we need to bring the army back under our control. We must never let those families gain power. Otherwise, they will definitely squeeze our market. Don't forget how the military-industrial enterprises were born."

As soon as Douglas's words came out, everyone present was shocked, and then each found a seat and sat down, starting to discuss formally how to deal with the military.

Military-industrial enterprises have always been their pain. In the past, they ate meat in large chunks through military orders. But since the outbreak of World War I, the army established military-industrial enterprises on the grounds of insufficient production capacity and research and development capabilities of civilian companies, squeezing out these financial groups' enterprises, making them lose a large piece of fat meat.

From World War I to the present, the American military-industrial enterprises have formed a huge industrial chain, from the most basic farms and various mining and oil companies to aerospace and weapon research companies. It can be said that military-industrial enterprises are advancing on the corpses of financial groups.

"Currently, there are 320 military-industrial enterprises, including many industries. Let's divide the scope of interests first, so that we can work together and avoid chaos when the time comes." Douglas's fingers tapped on the table, thought for a while, and said: "I want these 50 enterprises."

Douglas handed the paper to everyone. It was full of the names of enterprises, some of which were drawn away by Douglas with red lines, which was clear at a glance. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
