Chapter 1512 Pseudo Charity Activities
Remember【 】for a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!
In any case, because of his father's tireless inculcation of zz views, the Koch brothers planted a seed of freedom and supremacy since childhood. However, because of the horrible memories of the Soviet Union, he became hostile to the Soviet Union and turned to the Soviet Union. The extreme right!
The Koch brothers absorbed their father's conservative zz concept, but they did not go to extremes, did not accept some conspiracy theories, and they explicitly opposed war. Compared with their father, they emphasized a laissez-faire economy study.
As their wealth continued to increase, the Koch brothers became representatives of the American hardline libertarians. The two brothers joined the political arena one after another, but suffered setbacks. It is difficult to stand for election. They must turn to academia and think tanks in the field of influencing the production of policy ideas.
They began to infiltrate universities, funding private institutions at top institutions, and hoping that their economic thinking would occupy academic authority and attract more young students.
Of course, this does not mean that they have completely given up their tentacles in the political arena. In order to maintain their influence in the political arena, the Koch Brothers not only donated generously to the Elephant Party, but also directly joined it, and funded and promoted some organizations that promote the concept of libertarianism , such as the Cato Institute, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, the Institute of Economic Affairs in London, and others.
These ideological machines are like octopus tentacles, penetrating into all walks of life in the United States, even sewers, and they will not let go, hence the title of "Koch octopus".
In general, the Koch brothers have strong political opinions, and their ideological stance is extremely firm. It is simply unrealistic for Yang Cheng not to expect that he can control the thoughts of these two brothers.
He just wanted to deepen the relationship between the two parties through this meeting. It had nothing to do with zz, it was purely for making money.
I need the zz help of the Koch brothers, and the other party may also have some unknown goals, such as pulling Yang Cheng into the gang.
For a long time, the Koch brothers have been trying their best to attract and unite a group of extremely wealthy but extremely conservative families to form their own small groups. When these small groups unite, the massive private funds they can use are enough to change the future of the United States .
Of course, in order to conceal their true purpose, many of their actions will be disguised as charitable activities and cleverly set up names.
For example, in recent years, many people, especially those in overseas countries, have wondered why a considerable number of people in the United States deny the theory of climate warming?
Why is the shooting problem in the United States repeatedly unresolved?
Why do the top 1 percent of Americans pay less in taxes than the middle class?
Why do many people call for the abolition of "Guanhai Medical Insurance"?
On these issues,
Behind the institutions of experts and scholars who put forward many conservative suggestions are the Koch brothers and their small groups!
In the "political involvement" plan designed by the Koch brothers, the first step they have to do is to invest in intellectuals, so that their ideas can be turned into raw materials; the second step is to invest in think tanks, so that they can process the raw materials It is a policy that can be marketized; the third step is to subsidize various non-governmental organizations so that they can put pressure on elected officials so that the policy can be implemented as soon as possible.
After decades of careful planning, these steps have achieved remarkable results and are beginning to reap the fruits.
For example, the American Enterprise Institute, which is a standard think tank, is a quasi-academic institution to the outside world, making suggestions for the legalization of pollution discharge rights of oil, gas and coal companies, and suggesting more tax cuts for these companies to the ZF.
Koch Industries, as well as the companies of its allies, have reaped huge benefits, which are immeasurable!
And they don't mind if their small group continues to grow, the power will grow, and the income will increase proportionally~
The Yang family is the object that Koch Industries most wants to win over in the near future.
First of all, the Yang family has all the basics to join a small group. It requires conservativeness, strong economic strength, involvement in traditional industries, and considerable influence in the political world. The most important thing is that behind the Yang family are all forces or teams that most want to recruit. Chinese community;
Secondly, the younger generation of the Yang family is now cooperating closely, which is the prerequisite for further contact. It can't be that the two sides don't know each other, and when they meet, they hug and call each other brothers and sisters, right?
Finally, what the Koch brothers are more anxious about is Yang Cheng's sudden emergence. It would be fine if he only shined in the new fields of the Internet and media, but he also has one foot inserted into traditional industries.
Delta Air Lines is the top three in the United States; the development of aircraft leasing companies is in full swing; the shares of North Sea Petroleum are not small; Westinghouse Electric is already in the bag.
According to the information, Yang Cheng is getting involved in the field of new energy. He has acquired a waste recycling power plant in London, and intends to integrate the waste recycling power generation field in the British Isle.
While this series of sao operations impressed the Koch brothers, they couldn't help becoming anxious. If they didn't bring this little guy into the group, they might not be qualified to negotiate terms in the future.
What is Angel Investment? When someone needs money, you are an angel if you show up. When someone develops, you wave a check and want to join the group. That is not called angel investment, it is called grabbing money and sharing the cake.
How could the Koch brothers, who have been in business all their lives, not understand this truth?
Especially after Yang Cheng was injured in Nigeria before, the resolute revenge action almost shocked the brothers' eyes. If it was replaced by a person in his 40s, even if he was only in his 30s, they would not be so surprised, but Yang Cheng How big is an orange?
Just turned 28, a young man under 30 can make such a wave, what will happen in the future?
It is precisely because of this sudden incident that the two brothers' hearts have been strengthened-the Yang family must be recruited as soon as possible. They are optimistic about the future. important force.
And this kind of power, it is better to hold it in your own hands. If you give it to others, isn't it just giving it to your enemy?
They can't do such a stupid thing!
The two brothers looked at each other, and the eldest Charles said, "Jan, tomorrow we will hold a private charity party at the manor. The people who will attend have a deep relationship with us and are friends. If you don't mind, You can get involved."
This is an olive branch, throwing it in front of Yang Cheng to see if he can take it.
They weren't worried that Yang Cheng wouldn't understand. If they couldn't even understand the words, there was no need to participate!
