Chapter 302: The Present, Wheatstone Anne
"Miss, it's strange to me that George has a strong position in the election, and as long as he tries to keep it, he should be the president. But I can't figure out why he gave up at this time?"
The old butler Nord didn't know some of the inside story, so he couldn't figure it out.
On the contrary, Anne knew some of the inside story, and some of the thoughts of old George himself, so that she would not be like the old butler who could not figure it out.
But the old butler couldn't figure it out, and Anne could understand it.
In fact, people who don't know the inside story won't figure it out.
So Anne explained to the old butler: "Congress has passed a proposal to join the French-led war in South Vietnam, and at the same time gain control of the Panama Canal, and the French have used this benefit in exchange for the support of the United States, but Uncle George and I are very worried about this, because the French are doomed to lose this war in Vietnam, and even with the United States joining the country, it will not change the outcome." ”
The old housekeeper saw that the young lady had told the inside story, and he himself stood quietly on the edge of the bedside and listened.
"The outcome of a war will have a great impact on those in power, after all, as long as there is a war, people will die, and when the number of dead soldiers reaches a certain level, the impact on the situation in the country will appear. You should understand what our so-called 'freedom' in the United States is. ”
The old butler Nord nodded silently, he had already begun to understand what the young lady meant.
Anne continued: "But there are not many people who judge like me and Uncle George, and the idiots in Congress, and some of the radicals, are optimistic that with the United States in hand, the unfavorable situation of the French in Vietnam will be improved. At this point, the corners of Anne's mouth twitched, revealing a look of disdain.
"In short, Uncle George took the position of president at this time, and he must bear the blame for this war in the future. So he doesn't want to be the target of a black pot, and if this war shows unfavorable signs during his presidency, it will also have some impact on the future of George Jr., who has already embarked on the road to politics. ”
As a qualified politician and a father, George Sr. is not unreasonable, and can even be said to be far-sighted.
At this time, the old butler Nord was already able to understand everything.
To tell the truth, as Miss Anne said, at this time old George's choice. Very sensible indeed.
If it were Nord himself, he would have made the same choice.
Since old George thinks that the outcome of this war will be very bad, then let the optimistic people take the throne and finally carry this big black cauldron.
However, because the situation of George Sr. in the general election is very favorable now, if he wants to withdraw, some forces will definitely have to come up with a lot of benefits.
How to operate it depends on Old George's ability.
Of course, Anne was still very confident in Old George's ability.
She believed that old George could handle it. At the same time, it is enough to seek more benefits for himself and for Anne herself.
"It is estimated that there will be news in the next few days, and Uncle George has begun to take action, and he is frequently in contact with Kenny, another dark horse in the election. Now it's up to the other party to come up with what conditions they can come up with. ”
At this time, the general election has come to an end, and there are two other people who have entered this stage like George Sr.
One is a member of the Kenny family of the four major arms companies in the United States, the other is a little-known role in the neutral faction, and the old George who has the highest voice and the most favorable situation at the moment.
"Okay. Miss, in this case, I don't have to worry about anything anymore. After all, I don't know much about it, but now after understanding. What else do I have to worry about? ”
The worried look on the old butler's face faded and was replaced by a relaxed smile.
After the two talked a little more about old George, Nord told Anne something about the Wheatstone family business.
"Miss, there is news from the British and European countries that they have promised us to take over our business and offset the difference with their industry and cash in the United States. ”
Anne, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded when she heard this: "There is no problem, you can deal with it, but the difference should be paid in gold as much as possible." ”
The old butler Nord nodded in response to this.
Since Anne left Kim Hyun Tae, she has been undergoing a transformation of the family business.
Because Anne felt that the family business, although it seemed large, was too fragmented to form a force.
This question has actually been bothering Anne herself.
It's just that there are a number of factors that prevent Anne from starting to make such a change.
But now it's different, and Anne has made a huge fortune through the 'Plaza Accord', so she now has the ability to do what she has always wanted to do.
In addition, after Anne became pregnant, considering that she would need more time to spend with her children in the future, she had to make some adjustments in the family business.
At the same time, for herself and for Kim Hyun-tae, she decided to enhance her influence in the United States and her right to speak.
Therefore, Anne decided to 'abandon' all European companies and enterprises in exchange for shares in some large companies and enterprises on the American side, so that her power in the United States could grow.
In the space of a few months in 2016, Anne has now largely done this.
The Wheatstone family's business, with the exception of a bank in Switzerland, has changed owners.
And Anne used these very profitable companies in exchange for the equity of some companies in the United States, and even took over some companies with great development potential.
Anne is not stupid, and the companies she chooses are mainly industrial.
Such as ports, shipbuilding, steel, chemicals, petroleum and so on.
Coupled with the fact that she has plenty of money, once she has taken a stake in these industries, she begins to aggressively squeeze out other shareholders and try to give herself full control of the company and dominate the company.
Today, Anne controls 76% of the nation's ports, owns a large shipbuilding company, one of the country's two largest steel companies, and one of the three major oil companies.
It may seem like the Wheatstone family's business has decreased, but in fact power capital has become much stronger.
Of course, Anne didn't give up on the Wheatstone family's main banking business, but she also sought another path.
What money can be made by lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, and lending to the state can make more money, isn't it?
Therefore, Anne alone took on all the ten trillion dollars of Treasury bonds issued by the United States.
The annual interest rate of 30% is enough to ensure that Anne has money to make, and it can also give Anne a strong enough voice in the United States.
At the same time, Anne also pulled out of the quagmire of Europe, so as not to be dragged down later.
As European countries began to join France's war in Vietnam, it is predictable that the defeat of this war in the future will definitely affect the European economy.
At that time, Anne's business in Europe will definitely be greatly impacted.
So it's also a good option to get out.
Anyway, Anne will naturally have a way to return to Europe and reap the greater benefits.
Now in the United States, the Wheatstone Bank, which Anne controls, controls one of the four major arms companies, controls the world's most popular mobile phone development company, the largest telecommunications operator on the West Coast, and steel, shipbuilding, and oil are also among the largest enterprises in the United States.
Not to mention that she also has full control over 76% of the port terminals, so Anne has basically become the most 'powerful' woman in the United States.
And that's not counting Anne's 'Black Hole Investments' fund, as well as the two financial institutions of Wheatstone Ventures, as well as the $10 trillion in US Treasury bonds she holds, and the 8,000 tons of gold reserves she personally controls.
All of this is taken into account, and Anne's wealth is unimaginable today.
In fact, even she couldn't believe what she had now.
You must know that in the past, although the Wheatstone Bank also had huge wealth, it was nothing compared to the present.
And all these changes began to appear after Kim Hyun-tae mentioned that the yen would appreciate.
It can be said that Anne has become a super-rich person in the real sense, and she can be on the same status as some people in the United States and even internationally.
Of course, compared with those big chaebols, Anne is still a little bit behind.
But as long as time allows Anne to develop slowly, it will not be difficult for the Wheatstone family to become a chaebol in the future.
Anne herself is full of confidence in this.
And because the center of gravity is in the United States, Anne doesn't have to go abroad often, as long as she stays in the United States with peace of mind.
And to deal with the affairs of the company under her name, it is enough to hand over the professional managers hired by the Wheatstone family, and she herself can take care of the children with peace of mind, without being distracted by some things.
"Sam in Iraq has been told that he doesn't have enough cash and is asking if we can offset the weapons with oil?"
The old butler Nord mentioned the news from the Iraqi side at this time.
Yes, Anne is still trading with Iraq and Iran, and this deal is to sell tanks to both sides, and the number of tanks provided in the contract with both sides is as high as 80,000.
It is clear how much Anne will profit from this, and how much it will cost both Iraq and Iran.
But for Anne, who owns one of the four major arms companies in the United States, countries like Iraq and Iran are her favorites.
After thinking about it, Anne said to the old butler Nord: "Yes, send someone to Iraq to have a look, if you can, let Iraq take out a few oil fields for us, this matter should be fought for as much as possible, don't forget that I now own one of the three major oil companies in the United States, so I also need to master a little oil field in my hands, right?" ”
Hearing this, the old butler Nord smiled very brightly.
"Yes miss, I will send the best of my men to Iraq to try to get this done. (To be continued.) )
