Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

A consortium is a monopoly formed by the fusion of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs.

The rich are not necessarily the consortium, but the consortium will never run out of money, the amount depends on the size of the consortium.

The reason why the person who dominates the consortium has a very high status is because he can dominate the huge social resources.

The more social resources one has, the higher the social status of the controller of the consortium.

Therefore, the goal of each consortium is the same, to dominate more social resources, rather than unilaterally make more money.

Money is just a golden egg, and it runs out when it runs out, but if it hatches into hens, the hens will keep laying golden eggs, which forms a virtuous circle.

In modern capitalist society, most of the social resources have been embodied in the form of companies, and political resources have become the auxiliary of capital.

This system makes every consortium want to control more companies in order to enhance its social influence and social status.

For major consortiums, the goal is not to wholly own a company, but to control a company. There is an essential difference between a company's equity and operational control.

The operator or controller can slaughter other shareholders. Unless other shareholders unite to oppose or seize power, there is no way to fight, which facilitates the ultimate controller to use the company to create greater benefits.

What is ugly is that there are deliberately bleak operations to acquire equity at a low price, and there are also methods such as capital injection and dilution, which let the equity in its own hands appreciate in disguise.

More obscure, it is to use the company's resources to seek benefits for itself.

For example, the simplest example is that the Rockefeller consortium does not need to acquire Gulf Oil, but only needs to control the company's board of directors and shareholders' meeting, and control the management rights. Then a company with tens of thousands of employees can buy Rockefeller's insurance when the company collectively buys insurance. insurance instead of buying insurance from the Mellon consortium's insurance company.

If one person has a thousand dollars, then tens of thousands of people will pay hundreds of millions of premiums, and as long as they don’t lose control of the company, this income will be there every year, and it will be tens of billions of dollars in a few decades.

This is the linkage effect of resources, and the biggest beneficiary will only be in the hands of the ultimate controller of the company, not the shareholders.

So the purpose of the Rockefeller family is this,

Consortiums in other worlds are also in this model, including Xia Yu's consortium.

It's just that Xia Yu's consortium is an alternative, and its rise is too fast. Compared with other consortiums, in terms of time, it can be regarded as the early stage of entrepreneurship, so the equity of many companies is highly concentrated in him.

And now, Xia Yu's core foundation has already been formed. While continuing to expand the foundation, he also began to move to the second stage, taking partial or absolute control to expand his strength, creating a more peripheral moat and more superficial nutrition. Floor.

After careful deliberation, brothers David Rockefeller and Lawrence Rockefeller determined the hunting target and made a plan.

These two old foxes knew that someone would definitely do it first, and they knew that the strength and capital of the Mellon consortium were not damaged, so they planned to let other consortiums that couldn't help being the vanguard.

When other consortiums consume or contain the funds of the Mellon consortium, they will do more with less, and it will be more conducive to forcing the Mellon consortium to compromise.

When Rockefeller, Cleveland and other consortia secretly planned the Mellon consortium.

Xia Yu continued to stay by Xian Di's side and stayed in the United States.

The news that Old Mellon was in a coma was no longer limited to a very small number of people, but spread throughout the political and business circles of the United States, and even many family consortia outside the United States knew about it.

For a time, undercurrents were surging, and a strange atmosphere gradually rose in the business world of the United States.

Just when many people were wondering which consortium would be tempted to test the Mellon consortium first.

Not wanting to be, but a notorious financial robber shot first.

Boone Pickens, the founder of Mesa Oil Company, ranked only 98 in the "Top 400" of the U.S. oil industry, is a financial robber who runs an oil company, but is committed to extortion and making waves in the financial market.

He even obtained financial support from Desarel Bank in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, acquired a 10.2% stake in Gulf Oil in one fell swoop, and publicly announced that he wanted to be on the Gulf Oil board of directors.

As we all know, De Sarre Bank does not belong to the Mellon consortium system, but is a competitor with Mellon Financial Corporation and Bank of New York.

So after the news was announced, a large number of eyes gathered on this battlefield.

And Boone Pickens knows the essence of a slap in the face.

While Gulf Oil's management is still in urgent negotiations.

That afternoon, Mesa Petroleum offered another enticing proposal for shareholders.

Once the Mesa Oil Company becomes the main Gulf Oil Company, the Gulf Oil Company will be split, half of the oil and gas reserves will be divided, and a "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" will be established separately, and the original shareholders can obtain the trust company in equal amounts. of securities.

The most important thing is that this "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust" is a trust company rather than an oil company. The annual operating income of this part of the assets will be decoupled from other assets of the Gulf Oil Company, and will be directly and completely owned by the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust". distributed to stockholders without passing through Gulf Oil.

For Gulf oil company stockholders, because they hold the securities of "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company", they get all the benefits generated by this part of the assets. In contrast, in the past, what they got from the Gulf Oil Company was the part of the income obtained by the Gulf Company after deducting the expanded production from the total profit. The difference here is too great.

At the same time, this part of the income of the "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" is no longer included in the total income of the Gulf Oil Company to pay the tax payable, but is directly distributed to the stock holders, allowing the stock holders to pay personal income tax by themselves.

After doing this, the stockholders can get several times the dividends of the stock in the past!

It's just that this damages the long-term interests of the Gulf Oil Company and is not conducive to the long-term development.

But for shareholders without management and operating rights, they would rather choose short-sightedness.

After all, no one can say for sure in the future, but as long as the money is in the pocket, even if the stock price of Gulf Oil Company falls in the future, the income of "Gulf Oil and Gas Trust Company" can offset the loss of stock investment, or even exceed it.

For shareholders, it is unlikely that they will not be tempted by this plan with less risk and significantly greater returns.

Must support Mesa Oil on the board and make wise decisions!

Soon, there was a discussion about the matter within the Gulf Oil Company, and many middle-level employees who held shares expressed their views and expressed their attitude to the top management.

And the high-level managers with management rights are not so short-sighted. They understand the sinister intentions of Mesa Oil Company and naturally refuse.

The internal chaos of Gulf Oil Corporation began, and the contradiction between the upper and lower layers appeared.

Boone Pickens did not stop either, and continued to bribe the media and let many newspapers report the news.

Soon, the news spread rapidly, more and more investors expressed their support, and the management of Gulf Oil suddenly panicked.

Shareholders are going to rebel!

Unable to hold back, many directors called the Mellon family...
