Chapter 1381: The Rockefellers
"Reginold's suggestion is good."
"Although the steel industry has now evolved into a basic industry, and even the steel companies of our consortium are struggling to operate, if we can annex the steel companies of the Mellon consortium, then we can integrate internal resources and reduce the homogenization just now. Production and R&D competition Losses, the operating conditions will be optimized instead.”
"But I'm thinking, since we can target those four steel companies, why not expand the scope further and see if we can take the Pittsburgh National Bank?"
Sam Eaton's heart was bigger, and after listening to Reginald Hanna's point of view, he thought for a moment and said with deep eyes.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed and they fell into thought.
After a long time, Reginald Hanna said: "This is indeed a good direction."
"Although Pittsburgh National Bank is one of the financial core platforms of the Mellon consortium, in terms of importance, it ranks fourth after Bank of New York, Mellon Financial Corporation and General Reinsurance Company."
"The most important thing is that it is the financial core of the Mellon consortium in the Pittsburgh area and is closely connected with major industrial companies in Pittsburgh. If the acquisition of it can be completed, then the influence of our Cleveland consortium in Pittsburgh will soar."
"Not only can Pittsburgh National Bank be used to control other companies, but it also adds a financial core platform for us, enhances the strength of the financial field, and can further get rid of the financial dependence on the JPMorgan consortium and the Citigroup One consortium."
"Yes, the benefits are indeed great, and it's worth fighting for us."
"I agree too!"
"..."
With the continuous exposition of views, the thinking of the four people continued to diverge, and a plan to take advantage of the Mellon family gradually took shape.
...
Naturally, it's not just the Cleveland consortium that wants to take advantage of the fire.
Among them is the Rockefeller family, which has in-depth cooperation with the Meilong family.
Between the Meilong Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, there are two iconic partnership-controlled companies, Martin Marietta and Westinghouse Electric.
The former is the top arms supplier in the United States, providing radars, aircraft and missiles for the U.S. military. This company is another arms company in the Mellon consortium besides Rockwell International. Lockheed merged into Lockheed Martin.
The Westinghouse Electric Company, founded in 1886 by American inventor George Westinghouse, is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This company was later acquired by the Mellon family and is widely active in energy, transportation , communications, military, aerospace, environmental health management fields.
In addition to the arms giant and the electrical industry giant, some companies such as Armco Steel have also been infiltrated by the Rockefeller consortium.
Compared with the Cleveland Consortium, which requires the four major families to jointly discuss, although there are many other families in the Rockefeller Consortium as partners, the core is the Rockefeller family from beginning to end.
So there are only two people discussing in secret.
The head of the family, David Rockefeller, and the second core figure of the family, Lawrence Rockefeller, the fourth brother of David Rockefeller.
The two are the two core pillars of the Rockefeller family. The former's influence is unparalleled, and they are received by other countries at the presidential level when they go abroad.
The latter, a financial wizard even more outstanding than David Rockefeller, pioneered the world's venture capital, has the title of "the father of venture capital", and also dominates the New York Stock Exchange that his grandfather bought.
It is precisely because of his existence that the Rockefeller family has repeatedly competed with the "King of Wall Street" and the late fourth-generation head of the Morgan family, Henry Morgan, in the financial field, and has broken Morgan Stanley (Morgan Stanley) for more than 30 years. The accumulated domination of the world.
Today, the Morgan family can rival him, only the most outstanding son of Henry Morgan who founded Morgan Stanley, John Chris Morgan, the fifth-generation head of the Morgan family with the reputation of "financial genius". .
"David, what are you going to do against the Mellon consortium this time?"
Lawrence Rockefeller put his left hand on the sofa, crossed his legs, took a few sips of a Cuban cigar, and asked David Rockefeller.
"At the very least, the Gulf Oil Company has to take it over. There was a chance last year, but Mellon quelled the turmoil by cleaning up overseas assets and returning funds."
"But this time, Gulf Oil needs to re-brand our family!"
David Rockefeller said calmly.
As the head of David Rockefeller who led the Rockefeller family to a new peak, the gully in his chest is naturally unparalleled.
In his hands, the Rockefeller Consortium has been sitting on the throne of the No. 1 consortium in the United States and even the world for more than 20 years, and the Rockefeller family has continued to widen the gap with the Morgan family.
Although wealth is what he pursues all his life, but restoring the glory of the family is also what he wants to do.
No matter how huge the Rockefeller consortium is, the logo of the Rockefeller family can never be changed, that is Standard Oil!
More than 70 years ago, the Rockefeller family could not cover the sky with one hand. With the union of Roosevelt and a number of families, Standard Oil was directly turned into 34 oil companies.
In the past seven decades, the father and son of Rockefeller Jr. and David Rockefeller have re-established their flagship company, Exxon Oil Company. Through shrewd management and continuous mergers and acquisitions, Exxon Oil Company has continued to grow and once again ranked first in the world. , although it can't dominate the oil industry as much as it did in the Standard Oil era, but it's still pretty good.
When it first entered 1980, it became the first oil company in the world with sales exceeding 100 billion US dollars, and its net profit reached more than 5 billion US dollars!
Among the world's seven largest oil companies, from largest to smallest, they are Exxon Oil Company, Dutch Shell Oil Company, Mobil Oil Company, Texaco Oil Company, British Petroleum Company, Chevron Oil Company, and Gulf Oil Company.
Among them, Exxon Oil Company is dominated by the Rockefeller family, and the Dutch Shell Oil Company, Mobil Oil Company and Chevron Oil Company are all controlled by the Rockefeller family with the largest share of equity.
That leaves Texaco, BP, and Gulf Oil that have not been penetrated.
The Texas consortium is behind the Texaco oil company, the British Petroleum company is even less likely to be taken back, and the overseas oil company is controlled by the Mellon consortium.
Therefore, David Rockefeller has long been eyeing Texaco Oil Company and Gulf Oil Company. The fall of Mellon this time is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
Lawrence Rockefeller skillfully blew a smoke ring and said lightly, "Gulf Oil will definitely take it back, but this time is a rare opportunity. It would be too much of a waste to win such a company."
"When the old Mellon was there, he not only resisted our infiltration, but also successfully resisted the infiltration of Morgan. Although the strength was much worse than our two, it was able to make the Mellon consortium independent and strong in many fields with us. compete."
"This time, he finally fell down, and he had to knock the Mellon family off the table. No one in the Mellon family is qualified to eat at the same table with us now!"
"It's better not to have it in the future!"
PS: I’m sorry, it’s even slower these days. With so many consortiums entering the venue at once, it’s difficult to check the information and smooth the relationship, not to mention the plot based on these above. It’s really big, please also Excuse me!
Suggestions are welcome!
