Chapter 1530 Painful Memories

Yang Cheng heard Saul mention his father for the first time, and it seems that he has a deep friendship with the Mellon family.

Sol took the initiative to solve the doubts in Yang Cheng's heart, "My father once followed Richard Mellon~"

Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Huh? Richard Mellon?"

Seeing that Yang Cheng had misunderstood, Saul explained again, "Richard King Mellon, that is, Matthew's uncle, the third generation head of the Mellon family."

Richard inherited the name from his father, Richard Beatty Mellon, brother of second-generation head Andrew Mellon.

Yang Cheng suddenly realized that this was the case, but as far as he knew, Richard King Mellon was not an outstanding business genius. He was more interested in military affairs and rock music. , his cousin Paul Mellon is immersed in the world of art all day long, even donating his father's inheritance, and is unwilling to manage the family. Under the premise that Richard has done a good job, at least ensuring the Mellon family's continue.

Even if there are no successors in the fourth generation, with such a wonderful prodigal son as Matthew, the Mellon family's face will almost be lost by him.

Saul went on to say, "Later, my father and Richard had disagreements. In other words, Richard only wanted to defend the city and never wanted to forge ahead. This was my father's most disappointing point.

So he accepted Rockefeller's invitation and joined Rockefeller's family foundation to work. After accumulating enough experience and capital, he jumped out and established his own investment company.

Of course, because of his past experience, the companies he invests in are all extremely traditional industrial companies. "

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, "So you and Matthew have known each other since childhood?"

"Of course, he is my brother." Saul said with a pair of chicken breasts~

Yang Cheng asked again, "So you know the Mellon Foundation and the Rockefeller family well?"

Sol started to stir the salad again, his movements were very skillful, and the movements of his hands did not stop at all while chatting with Yang Cheng!

"I don't really understand it, but I must know more information than others."

Seeing Yang Cheng's face of gossip, Sol suddenly smiled strangely, "You don't come here to listen to gossip, do you?"

Yang Cheng licked her face and said, "But you asked me to come~"

Saul was helpless, "OK, what do you want to know? Let me tell you first, I will only say what I can say."

"For example, the relationship between the two families? There are rumors outside that the conflict between the two families is very deep."

Saul frowned slightly, "There must be conflicts, but they are not as deep as rumors from the outside world. It can be seen from the actions of the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family to jointly participate in shares or control some large enterprises, and the two have more choices. Compromise, advance and retreat together, and seek a win-win business relationship. After all, if the two companies really turn their conflict into a fight, both sides will suffer. Even if one side wins by chance, there is probably no longer their legendary story to spread."

Yang Cheng nodded to express her understanding, "Well, I know all of this, let me tell you something nutritious~"

"What is nutritious?" Saul didn't quite understand~

"Which companies specifically?" Yang Cheng reminded.

Saul was speechless, "I don't believe you don't know~"

Yang Cheng carried the rogue to the end, "Say it quickly, by the way, don't delay cooking~"

"OK, you won. For example, Amcor Steel, Gulf Oil and the Rockefeller consortium appear on the list of the three major controllers at the same time, and the other is the Cleveland consortium;"

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "I know this~"

Gulf Oil is the Mellon family's industry!

Saul continued, "Among the largest controlling shareholders of Westinghouse Electric Company, the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family completely occupy the absolute controlling position at the same time;

In the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, the Mellon Consortium and Rockefeller are also one of the four major controllers.

In addition, while independently controlling the aircraft, missile and rocket design and manufacturer Rockwell Corporation, the Mellon family also jointly controls Lockheed Martin, the world's largest arms dealer, with Rockefeller. "

Lockheed Martin, like Westinghouse Electric Company,

Long a prime contractor for the Pentagon and NASA.

"Then there is Mellon Bank. You should know this better than me. Today's Mellon Bank is basically in the hands of Rockefeller."

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng and Sol heard a sigh at the same time, and saw Matthew walking out slowly from behind Yang Cheng, leaning on a cane in his hand.

Yang Cheng got up to caress him, but was stopped by Matthew.

After hearing him sigh, he said with emotion, "In the past, I always held a grudge against Rockefeller, thinking that they took everything from my family.

But then I figured it out, the real reason should be attributed to ourselves, we made the wrong choice in the famous Watergate incident in history!

At that time, the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family once again appeared in the incident as opponents of pros and cons.

President Watergate won re-election by overwhelmingly defeating the Donkey Party candidate McGovern in the election because of his achievements in ending the Yuenan War.

However, just as President Watergate was celebrating with his supporters, a shocking scandal broke out. "

The general process is as follows: During the presidential campaign, in order to obtain information on the donkey party's internal campaign strategy, five people, including the chief security consultant of the party's campaign committee, sneaked into the office of the donkey party's national committee in the Watergate Building in Washington, D.C. He was arrested on the spot while installing bugs and secretly photographing related documents.

This led to the first president in American history who resigned due to a scandal, as well as the "Watergate" incident that has been passed down to this day.

Of course, the story is not important, Matthew walked over with great difficulty, sat down next to Yang Cheng, stared at the front with empty eyes, and murmured, "The direct loser of that incident is not Mr. Minato or Mr. Not the Elephant Party, but the Mellon family standing behind them.

In the re-election campaign, the Mellon family provided ZZ donations of up to 1 million US dollars. Naturally, after the master fell, the followers could only sound the gong to end, and the incense of the Mellon family in the power field was completely extinguished.

Contrary to the fate of the Mellon family, the Rockefeller family, which openly opposed President Watergate in the presidential election, has reached another level on the political stage.

Nelson, who was re-elected three times as the Governor of New York State, was successfully elected as the Vice President of the United States and became a hot ZZ star.

Once again the Rockefellers overwhelmed the Mellons.

Since then, the Mellon family has officially embarked on a downward slide. "

Every time he talks about the past of the Mellon family, Matthew always looks sad, but if he wakes up 20 years earlier, maybe the Mellon family is still in people's sight.

It's a pity he woke up too late!

Although he understands something now, he is already powerless. If he wants to take back Westinghouse Electric, he still needs to use Yang Cheng's hand to make wedding dresses for others!

sad! But it's also fate~
