Section Four Hundred and Sixty-Third Repair Relationship
Zurich, Europe
The previous patriarch of the Rothschild family has officially retired. The reason is very simple. The first half of his administration was very good. Not only did the Rothschild family come out of the decadence of World War II, but it also made Roche a European leader. Even in the world, he is only inferior to the Americans, but judging from his performance in the past ten years, this man is really old, and his decision almost brought the family into the abyss. They will work together to calculate some of the benefits of the Middle East oil group, and others are failing, especially the last two.
One time, they cooperated with the Chinese Association in mainland China to speculate on gold, but they were beaten by the energy group, and finally had to betray the Skull and Bones. Although the gold reserves were all back, the Rothschild family had several hundred The reputation of the past few years has been almost lost.
The second time was a mistake on the energy issue. Now everyone can see that environmentally friendly oil has become the mainstream energy source in the world, but the Rothschild family, the second largest organization in the world, has nothing to do with the energy group. On the contrary, the ancient British family on the English Channel, the Rachel family, has obtained the sales rights in Europe for two years, which means that in the next two years, Roche will be under the threat of energy from others.
In the final analysis, the two "great" mistakes were due to the fact that the relationship with the energy group was not good. In fact, this old man can't be blamed. After all, Li Cong moved closer to the Skull and Bones at that time. If Roche didn't suppress it, it might be worse than it is now. It's even more sad, at least the power of the energy group has not penetrated into the hinterland of Europe, but as the Rachel family uses environmentally friendly oil and electricity as weapons to attack aggressively, it is not a long time before the energy group appears on the land of Europe.
The new patriarch is the eldest son of the previous patriarch, Robert Rothschild. Although he is already fifty, his ideas are completely different from his father. He is also the biggest real power faction who opposes his father within the family. He disapproved of his father's cooperation with the Chinese Association, because he felt that the Chinese Association was simply a group of second-generation ancestors, and had no prospects as big as the energy group, so the first thing he did after taking office was to repair the relationship with the energy group.
It is much more difficult to have a friend than an enemy in this world. Although he has this idea, the energy group does not seem to have the slightest idea of repairing the relationship with Roche. Now Li Cong wants money and power. Quan, it can be said that the army is strong and the horse is strong. On the other hand, when Roche is going downhill, if you still put yourself on an equal footing with the energy group, I am afraid that Li Cong's temper will definitely not bird you.
Robert is also a person who can afford to let go, so he ordered his subordinates to acquire nearly 20,000 large gas stations in ten European countries, forming a huge gas chain group. The purpose of doing so is not to hold the sales terminal , but want to run this gas chain group with Li Cong. This approach is similar to the idea proposed by PetroChina when Li Cong started his business in the early years, but after the energy group established its development direction, it did not develop retail again. At that time There are only hundreds of gas stations that can easily give up, but now there are 20,000, and it is a bit reluctant to give up.
"My son, although you are the patriarch, I am still your father. Before I go to Australia, I would like to remind you one last thing. Don't try to become friends with Li Cong. He won't be able to make friends with Li Cong for the first time. It will change, look at the Chinese cultural relics in your house, he will not be friends with you, you are smarter than me, I hope the family can develop better in your hands, Europe, yes Our Roche bottom line is the last, don't let people from the energy group come in, or you will regret it later."
This passage was said by Robert's father who took Robert's hand at the airport before leaving for Australia. Could it be that Li Cong is a devil? My father lost too much on him, a little scared? I can never do the same thing as my father,
If you continue to confront the energy group, it will not benefit you at all, but you have to think of a proper way to cooperate.
It turned out that the plan of this gas chain group was called back by Li Cong as soon as it arrived at the energy group. The reason was that the energy group would not enter Europe within two years, and all business in Europe was handed over to Ms. Taylor of the Rachel family in the United Kingdom. If he really wants to find a partner, he will introduce the two companies for cooperation. Li Cong regretted it to death when he said this, but for the reputation of the energy group, and for the energy group to get more partners in the future , can only reluctantly push this agreement.
Ms. Taylor in the UK is also very afraid. If the energy group skips her cooperation with the Rothschild family, she will not be able to offend anyone. What is Roche most good at? Instead of fighting with the strongest opponent, it is to join hands with the strongest opponent to teach some small forces that are taking the lead, such as the oil group in the Middle East, and the Chinese Association in China. The answer is tantamount to giving myself a reassurance that my hundreds of billions of dollars in assets have not been wasted.
Although Li Cong refused to cooperate with the Rothschild family, he also expressed his welcome to start more friendly exchanges with Roche. After all, the energy group needs a time to recuperate after repeated battles. Now the energy group has Chinese associations inside, and outside With the Rothschild family, it was too nerve-wracking to deal with. It was only at this time that Li Cong realized how reasonable Chiang Kai-shek's sentence "to fight against the outside world must first settle the inside". If the internal instability wants to confront the outside, that is Looking for death, so Li Cong's strategy is to go to Europe to compete with Roche after the Chinese Association is completely resolved. Now let the Rachel family be their pioneers and fight with Roche in Europe.
Due to the end of the crisis, Li Cong's family members also returned to China from Europe. Li Cong was still in Hong Kong. This time, Li Er escorted him all the way. He couldn't say how he felt about the baby brother in front of him, but he just felt that this child After losing the love from my grandparents, I have to talk about the future. As long as my brother is right in my conscience, if my brother finds trouble for me, my father will not let him. This is the so-called heavenly family without father and son. .
"Xiao Er, why do you still look like that once you go home? You are only a child, what are you thinking about so much?" Li Yan said angrily when she saw her nephew always frowning.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time. I think you have wrinkles. Could it be that your father doesn't pay you enough to buy the top-notch cosmetics?" Li Er said with a smile when he saw that it was his aunt. If he didn't go to pick up his aunt, his father knew how he felt about his aunt, so it was better not to let his aunt get involved in his affairs, otherwise his father would not forgive him if something happened to him in the future.
"Have you gone to Qingdao?" Li Yan asked, touching Li Er's head, she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for this nephew, she asked this question casually, but it didn't sound like that to Li Er's ears Yes, the little guy frowned, but he didn't show it.
"Not yet, I want to go there together when my father comes back." After Li Er said this, he looked at his aunt's face. Fortunately, there was nothing special about it. It seems that my aunt didn't think much of her mother these years. , I heard that people often ask people to send some things over, is it possible for my mother to come back here again?
Li Yan was a little surprised in her heart, the whole family knew that the woman in Qingdao was something Li never wanted to talk about, and the child in front of him was a director, so why would he mention this to his father at this time? Are you going to lose your crown prince position? You must know that this boy is not the only one in the family now. Although the baby boy is still young, he may not be useless when he grows up in a few years.
"Your father may not come back in the short term, why don't you go to the company with your aunt tomorrow to have a look. Speaking of which, you are the heir of the company, but you didn't stay at the company's headquarters for long." Li Yan didn't follow Li Er What he said, but found a topic to diverge from.
Li Er also understood what Auntie meant, and nodded with a smile in agreement. Although he didn't know the shock brought about by entering the energy group headquarters building for the first time, it must be a different situation if he went by himself tomorrow.
