America's Big Hero

He was dissolute in his later years, and died in the office after indulging in sex.

In 1960, after the death of John Rockefeller, this man wanted to use his power to control the power of the family with one hand, but the eldest of the three generations, John D. Rockefeller Jr. quit, and the two fought in family affairs.

It is rumored that the reason why Nelson lost to Nixon in the party's nomination was John Jr.'s handwriting.

In the end, John Jr., with the help of his third brother Lawrence Rockefeller and fifth brother David Rockefeller, snatched the family power back from Nelson.

In his later years, Nelson retired from the position of vice president at the age of 69. The power of the family was gone, and his political career was over. Nelson, who could not accept it for a while, indulged. Finally, at the age of 71, he died in the belly of a woman in the office .

A generation of werewolves!

Of course, John Jr., who won the fight against his second brother Nelson, also failed to control the family power. The third brother, Lawrence Rockefeller, established his father's business acumen. .

The fifth younger brother, David Rockefeller, who is now in charge of the family, is even more powerful. This man has mastered the way of the "dog", and successfully laughed in the struggle between the boss and the second. Most of his political legacy, as the president of the Bank of Manhattan, although he does not directly participate in politics, he supports many political figures behind his back and participates in many political decisions.

Sean and Hayden's grandfather, Winthrop D. Rockefeller, was the fourth child in the family.

This one is amazing, he used to be the governor of Arkansas!

Yes, like Zipperton, it is Akon, color.

Different from the fifth, Chenggong had the last laugh in the fight between the eldest and the second.

The fourth child has a very good relationship with the second child Nelson. They both follow the political line.

was killed...

He was the earliest of the five brothers to die.

As for ability...the difference between the governor may be greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

Therefore, Xiao En's branch does not hold much power in the family business, and the relationship with the current three-generation head is also very general.

It's too far away, uncle and grandpa.

If the split of Rockefeller was the beginning of the decline of the Rockefeller family, then this family power struggle is the starting point of the second decline of the family.

For the first time, Rockefeller II managed to turn the tide.

This second time will be difficult.

However, this is not something Sean can worry about now, well, he is not qualified to worry about such national affairs with his small body now.

Let's do a good job of our own three-acre land first.

After chatting about gossip at home, Hayden finally got down to business.

"If you want to buy patents and build electric furnaces, this matter is actually very simple. Just contact the steel factory with relevant patents. There are many, but it's best to pay a visit to our fifth uncle first." Said Hai Deng glanced at Xiao En with a smile, "It's been more than two years, and you are famous now, and you haven't met the patriarch yet."

Heh, Sean chuckled lightly, "What's the benefit?"

"There are definitely no obvious benefits." Hayden shook his head, "After all, you don't have any shares in any company under the family name."

"However, after all, you are a member of the Rockefeller family, and you are outstanding in ability. If you are recognized by the patriarch, the family foundation can pass on your family-approved identity. You are all members of the Rockefeller family. It will provide a lot of convenience when dealing with companies with a certain shareholding.”

"Then what are you waiting for, make an appointment!" Sean urged.

"Hey, you'd better make a plan in advance." Hayden gave a meaningful look.

Sean rubbed his chin and didn't speak.

Hayden didn't make it clear, but Sean did.

He has no shares in any company under the name of the family. This visit to patriarch David is considered to recognize his ancestors and return to his family. Should he take out the shares of the company under his name to replace the shares of some companies in the family, or whether to accept the family fund for investment? Invest in companies under your name.

There's a lot to say here.

There was a lot of chaos for a while, which made Sean hesitate a bit.

He didn't know what to choose.

Naturally, the benefits of joining the family system are not small. In the future, as long as there is no conflict of interest and within the scope of cooperation, it will be absolutely unimpeded and smooth sailing.

However, even the decision-making is bound to be influenced by the family, even if the shares are not exchanged, only the investment is accepted.

After all, compared to the size of the Rockefeller family, the current Sean is nothing.

If he doesn't join, he can only borrow a name. The real benefits are almost impossible to get, and the cooperation will continue as usual, but everything must follow normal business rules and work according to the contract. At most, those companies under the family name will not cheat him. .

But the advantage is absolute independence.

Sean fell heavily on the beach chair with a headache!

There is no way to discuss this matter with anyone, and no one can help him make a decision.

I don't have much appetite for dinner, so just eat a little.

Going to bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Sean suffered from insomnia for the first time since he came to this world.

It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, a pillar of support...

He is in good health, not having a good night's sleep is not a big problem, he looks much more energetic than Hayden.

After breakfast, the two were ready to go out.

David Rockefeller, born on June 1915, 6, has been living in the Rockefeller Center in New York and is in charge of the family office after taking control of the power of the Rockefeller family.

As the fifth generation of the family, no one stopped Hayden and Sean from coming. Of course, an appointment is required. Sean soon met the third-generation heads of the Rockefeller family under the leadership of his secretary. Uncle, David Rockefeller.

As soon as the two entered the door, compared to Hayden who honestly and politely bowed to David, Sean quickly looked around the office, and then bowed slightly, without speaking or saying hello.

David Rockefeller's office is unexpectedly small, only about 40 square meters, with a large mahogany desk, a long sofa, a small bar for drinking in one corner, bookcases on the walls, and various The piles of books are full.

None of these old-school plutocrats are extravagant.

"Grandpa David, this is Sean Rockefeller, and also his father's son." Hayden pointed to Sean and introduced.

(Don't talk about foreign titles, after all, it's for our own people to see)

"Grandpa David, hello." Sean bowed and said hello, and looked at the famous helm of the family.

The 70-year-old David Rockefeller is a short and fat man, his face is full of fat, and his body is slightly bent, but his mental state is still very good.

It’s not good, and I won’t live to be 101 years old...

"Hello, little Sean, I've heard of your name, ha ha." David Rockefeller looked very kind, without putting on airs, and said after making a little joke: "Sit down, I'm here You don't have to be so polite here."

"Thank you." The two thanked each other. Hayden sat upright, with his legs together and his hands on his lap. Sean's legs were spread apart, with one hand resting on the armrest beside him and the other pressing on the sofa.

Observing the sitting postures of the two, David did not speak, but looked at Sean carefully.

Entering a strange place, the first time to observe the environment subconsciously shows that this kid has a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire for self-protection. He also sits down. The sitting posture of this big horse and golden knife shows that he has a more domineering personality and habits. To be honest, he always appears as the protagonist and central figure on weekdays.

People's subconscious behavior can best reflect some things.

The old man has been around for more than 70 years, and his eyes are very poisonous.

Without mentioning a single word about business, David smiled and asked about Sean's situation, and chatted throughout the whole process, even asking Sean if he had a girlfriend, and when he was going to get married, which made Sean a little dumbfounded.

It's not just the elders of the rabbit who co-author like to urge marriage?

But I can't see that the relationship Hayden said is not very good. In Sean's mind, it's all the matter of the previous generation. The threatening junior is not worth targeting at all.

After chatting for half an hour, David seemed to have had his fill of fun, and then brought the topic to business.

"In the past year, many old friends have mentioned you in front of me. You started from nothing, and they all said that our Rockefeller family has produced another outstanding person."

"It's all messing around." Sean still subconsciously said modestly whether it was the soul of the rabbit.

"Hahaha, it would be great if everyone else could mess around like you. You are humble." David smiled and glanced at Hayden.

Hayden: Look at me...

"It's not modesty." Sean said with some seriousness: "The management team came to me several times, saying that my business, um, is too chaotic, scattered, and unsystematic."

"This is a fact. I admit it myself. I haven't received any higher education, don't know any business philosophy, and don't have much experience to pass on. It's really too messy."

"I came to find Grandpa David this time, and I also want Grandpa David to teach me."

"After all, I'm not a witness. I can only speak from the perspective of a bystander." David thought for a while and said.

After all, Sean is a member of the Rockefeller family. If nothing happens, then that's all. There are more than 100 people in the family, and David will not pay attention.

But Xiao En has risen rapidly in the past two years and made such a big battle, how could he not pay attention.

Even if Sean's size is completely incomparable with Rockefeller's.

"First of all, decentralization and system are two completely different business ideas. In essence, they are not good or bad. Managers are good or bad, but business ideas are not." David spoke slowly, as if he was afraid Xiao En couldn't understand, "Systematic management can give full play to the advantages of the system and have greater influence, but when risks come, it must be the whole that bears the impact."

"The overall collapse is likely to be relatively large."

"Decentralized management does make it impossible for each company and industry to exert its full energy, which will cause a certain degree of waste, slow down the development speed, and compress the competitiveness. However, when the storm comes, it can avoid energy. Effectively avoid a large part."

"There is little prospect of a collective collapse of all corporate sectors."

"Essentially speaking, the major consortiums can be regarded as decentralized operations. For example, Rockefeller has investments in petroleum, chemical industry, steel, raw materials, electronics, manufacturing, sports, clothing, finance, media, entertainment, real estate... Many industries have invested in each other. There is linkage, but it is not a complete system, and it is important to share risks."

"So, there is no need to think too much about this point, just follow your own thinking." David said with a smile.

Phew~~!

Sean breathed out silently, he really thought he must be wrong.

It turned out that it wasn't my fault, it was that the gang under him were not good enough, no, it should be said that they didn't stand high enough.

This may be due to the different perspectives of professional managers and chairman of the board.

"But." David suddenly changed his style.

The word "but" scared Sean and brought it up again.

"Decentralized operations are fine, but it's better to have a core."

"Core?" Sean asked after turning his head, "Bank?"

"The core can be a bank, but not all banks are the core." David shook his head with a smile.

"What is the core? The core is the center of all industries. It should not only provide financial and relationship support during development, but also provide sufficient shelter when danger comes." David said slowly: "This That's the core."

"For example, your X security is the core."

"X Security?" Sean frowned. Although he regarded X Security as his foundation, "Asylum can protect, but X Security cannot provide financial support. Can this be considered the core?"

"Why not? It doesn't have to be funds, it can also be relationships. What's more, the Jonas family provided a lot of sources of funds during your early development." Said, the 70-year-old man winked at Sean Eye.

Sean: "..."

The old guy knows quite a lot.

"Okay!" Sean shrugged, it's useless not to pretend to be intimidating in front of celebrities.

"But..." David seemed to have a bad taste, changed the subject again, and said in a long tone, looking at Sean.

Sean's heart tightened again.

"The security company is not a very good core." David said slowly again: "The mainstream of the world is peace, which is no longer tens or hundreds of years ago. It's not that X security is useless, but, most of the time, It has power, but you can't use it."

Sean raised his brows, and he also felt this, but before, he felt a little hazy and his hands were tied, and the words of the old man really woke him up.

Before facing Santos, when facing Brewster Jesse, he didn't dare to directly use the power of X Security, so he could only use some insidious methods secretly.

Very uncomfortable!

If the Rockefeller consortium wanted to deal with them, they could do so openly and aboveboardly from the benefactors behind them, the party, and the law at the same time, appearing in a crushing posture.

Of course, the greater possibility is to directly make the two of you 'invisible' from now on, even if you still show up every day and are still working, but there is no news of you in the media society, everyone alienates you, and you are a living person who is alone and completely disappears. before the public.

"What about the core of the family?" Sean asked directly.

"The consortium, we can influence all walks of life through the consortium. This is a net, no one can escape, and we can always affect the 'enemy' through some industries."

"Well, I can..." Xiao En shook his head. He also has a bank under his name, but the main business is the company under his name, which is regarded as the center of fund transfer, which is far from such a deterrent.

"I can't give you an opinion, you need to find it yourself." David shook his head.

"Join the family consortium?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said.

David didn't speak, just stared at Sean.

Sean didn't speak, and the two looked at each other.

Hayden suddenly felt that the air seemed to be viscous, and shrank his body vigorously, trying to make himself smaller. He cursed Sean in his heart for speaking too directly, while muttering silently, he couldn't see me, he couldn't see me.

After a while, David suddenly smiled and shook his head with a smile, "This is not a good way."

Sean had no expression on his face, but his heart was relieved.
