Chapter 735: The So-Called Consortium

As a qualified capitalist, the first thing to do is to be shameless.

Ruilian embezzled up to 6 billion dollars in Jewish assets during World War II. This kind of thing can be done. Compared with the other party, his means are really small.

Speaking of Switzerland, Li Zitao now has a more intuitive understanding that this is a country that has no bottom line for wealth and completely serves capital.

Moreover, Switzerland is not as 'weak' as the outside world sees. '

In Switzerland, there are a total of 600 fortifications hidden among the mountains. In addition, the Swiss authorities plan to continue to build new fortifications to ensure safety.

Relying on the leading position of the Swiss watchmaking industry in precision processing, many precision military instruments used by various countries are manufactured by Switzerland.

Hard power, soft power and its own technology, which is indispensable for other countries, place Switzerland in a special position from now on.

Moreover, if Switzerland, the world's largest "money laundering" center, collapses, it will not be a good thing for anyone.

Just like Li Zitao's 500 million mark, if he is to be laundered by himself, at least he needs to go around several times in several countries to do it.

During this period, the funds have to shrink by at least half, and if it is handed over to Ruilian, only 20% of the handling fee is required, and Ruilian will help you handle all problems properly.

The simple "Bank Secrecy Act", once the money is in and out of the bank, it becomes a fragrant and clean Franklin.

It is a pity for Li Zitao that there is no branch in Spain, otherwise, relying on the "Bank Secrecy Act", he can even save 20% of the handling fee.

"You don't have to worry about the source of your wealth, you don't have to worry about being investigated, you can launder your money if you go in, and you don't have to pay taxes, tsk tsk..."

Thinking of a set of numbers in his mind, Li Zitao really admired the means and capabilities of this country.

Unfortunately, Luxembourg will eventually be invaded, otherwise he would not have to spend a lot of money to move to Switzerland.

"Charlie, you are almost successful." Looking at the big shots in the banquet hall, Lawrence said with emotion.

The teenagers of those days are now really big names in American high society. Look at the people here today.

Either the super rich, or political giants or rising stars, their influence is by no means limited to North America, but has a certain influence all over the world.

"Are you still going to wait?" Jonathan, who was leaning on the bar next to him, asked.

"How about the Li's consortium?" Li Zitao suddenly smiled, raised his glass and pointed forward: "Will they be frightened?"

"I think so." Jonathan and Lawrence nodded affirmatively.

Li's consortium, a capital consortium created by Chinese, this world is really crazy enough.

"Okay, then let them be surprised." Li Zitao picked up a silver spoon from the bar and walked confidently towards the center of the banquet hall.

ding ding...

The crisp sound of the silver spoon hitting the wall of the cup attracted everyone's attention, the music stopped soon, and the people naturally dispersed into a circle, waiting for the master's speech.

"Honey, come here." Seeing everyone stop, Li Zitao stretched out his hand to Mary who was smiling in front of him.

Holding his wife's hand and standing in the middle of the crowd, Li Zitao smiled and announced loudly: "On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to give you a surprise, that is, the Li Family Foundation will be formally established today... "

The scene was completely silent, and a needle could be heard even if it dropped.

Hush——

There was thunderous applause, some people looked excited, some people looked complicated, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, it had no effect on Li Zitao.

From today onwards, California will become the base camp of Li's consortium. Any behavior that bypasses him and intervenes in California's economy is a provocation to Li.

After announcing the news, Li Zitao handed over the crystal cup to the people around him, put his arms around his wife with a smile and nodded to the band.

Elegant and cheerful music sounded, and the interrupted dance continued, but apart from their husband and wife,

Others have lost the mind to dance.

The establishment of the Li Family Consortium was no less than a thrilling tsunami for everyone present.

At this moment, their hearts felt as if they had been severely squeezed, their breathing became heavier unconsciously, and they kept thinking about the impact of this incident.

"Honey, why did it happen so suddenly?" Mary asked softly as she pressed her face against her husband's chest and listened to his strong heartbeat.

"We have prepared enough, it's time." Li Zitao is also excited about the realization of his ambition.

But in the next few months, he was busy again.

In fact, the so-called consortium is just a 'consortium-type' enterprise group linked by capital, which itself does not have independent legal personality.

It is composed of large-scale capital enterprises, and the important positions in the consortium are generally large banks and financial institutions.

The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce under Li Zitao's name is fully equipped with the size of a consortium, but he has never admitted it to the outside world from the beginning to the end.

Now, it was the first time he used the word 'consortium' to describe his company.

There will be no change in its internal equity structure, but in name only, the connection between enterprises will become deeper.

It's as if three separated brothers have returned to their own family, and the mutual property is still under their own control, but with this bond, it is a whole in name, and the mutual cooperation and support has become stronger.

To put it simply, when the company develops to a certain level, the so-called "cross-shareholding strategic partnership" is a loosely structured consortium.

When this group absorbs more 'strategic partners' covering all aspects of the industry and forms a certain monopoly, it becomes a consortium.

The Golden Arch of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce is a well-deserved leader in the fast food industry, monopolizing the fast food industry in North America, South America, Asia, Eastern Europe and other places.

AD-B's influence in steel and copper mines is even more world-class. Its transaction volume accounts for 46.3% of the global market, and it is on a par with U.S. Steel.

Wells Fargo on Wall Street is now known as the "Second Morgan," and its main body, Lee Holdings, involves First Bank, the financial body of the Chicago consortium, and Manhattan Chase, the financial body of the Rockefeller consortium.

Li Zitao also holds a 35.6 percent stake in Mobil.

The Rockefeller consortium controls 8 large oil companies in total, but their combined sales are only 1.6 times that of Mobil.

Mobil's overseas sales capabilities are insane, and its miracles in surveying have made Mobil's name famous all over the world.

Any organization knows that Mobil has the world's largest oil reserves, and their biggest customers are governments. "Never need to worry about Mobil running out of oil. We have enough oil reserves for all human beings to use for 500 years."

The Skunk International Experiment Center, Aegis Motors and Stark Weapons Laboratory under the American Aerospace Corporation are in a leading position in the field of arms.

If it weren't for the suppression of other arms companies and the deliberate suppression of Washington, the current private arms field would have been their world long ago.
