The Yutai Consortium has considerable influence in the United States. Well-known investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Solomon are all founded and controlled by Yutai.

Among the Hollywood giants, Warner, MGM, Fox, etc. are also controlled by the Youtai Consortium. As for the four major wireless TV networks, nbc, cbs, abc, and fox, they all fell into the hands of Youtai.

In addition, there are many people who are born in politics, sports, business, etc., such as former Secretary of State Kissinger, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, Pistons boss Davis, Wizards boss Polyn, Google founder Larry Page, Intel founder Grove, etc.

However, although Yu Tai Ren controls great power in the United States, he has no interaction with them before summer. Because he has always liked to eat alone and does not want to invite others to share the cake he likes.

But now, Xia Tian wants to change his mind. Because his business is getting bigger and bigger, the resistance he is receiving is getting bigger and bigger. Just like last year, HSBC wanted to suppress him. And if he acquired Turner Broadcasting in the United States, it would be difficult to complete the transaction without Lao Bushi's push.

In the future, if you want to acquire CBS TV station in the summer, you want to make profits from the merger of East-West Germany, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Internet boom, etc., you may face greater resistance, and you may even conquer if you are not careful.

In the final analysis, it is because he can't stand alone and can't beat four hands with two fists. No matter how rich he is, he is a billionaire, and he is a small one compared to those consortiums. The funds in his hands are more than 100 billion yuan and trillion yuan.

If he takes a step back, even if he has trillions of dollars in funds, he still lacks the ability to protect himself. If he goes to invest, he will probably be eaten up by others.

For example, in the late 1960s, Macau king Ho Hongshen and Hong Kong jewelry king Zheng Yutong jointly invested and built a horse farm in Yilang for US$50 million.

At that time, King Pahlavi was reigned, vigorously promoting the "white leather slaughter" and advocating the Western lifestyle. After the opening of the horse farm, it was immediately popular in the Middle East, with tourists every day, and a large number of Middle Eastern tourists went to the horse farm in Ilang to bet on the horse farm, which was so huge that it was shocking. Even King Pahlavi appeared at the horse farm many times, expressing his support, and even planned to award the titles of Ho Hongshen and Zheng Yutong.

But the good times did not last long. In seven years, the Iranian Gang broke out, and King Pahlavi's rule was overthrown and he was forced to go into exile abroad. Iran was taken over by religious leader Khomenei, and the Iranian teachings were restored again, and fighting was prohibited.

The horse farm that He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong invested in $50 million was smashed overnight and lost all their money. Even though they were already famous tycoons in Hong Kong and Macau, they could not protect their own interests at all.

The meaning of this lesson is that if there is no strong enough power to serve as a protective umbrella, the interests of merchants will not be guaranteed at all.

In the summer, I have invested a lot in the United States and Europe, and I also want to enter the Soviet Union, the Middle East and other places, so I also need to find an umbrella for myself.

The best protective umbrella should have been the Mainland of China. Unfortunately, the mainland is now committed to economic development and does not have much influence internationally and cannot provide decent support in the summer. If you want to borrow the light of the mainland and expand the market overseas, it will at least be after the new century.

As the president of the United States, Lao Bushi can help him solve some problems, but it is not a perfect choice. After all, although the presidential status is noble, it is also subject to many constraints and it is difficult to do whatever he wants. Therefore, Lao Bushi cannot be played frequently and must be used at critical moments.

In comparison, the Yutai Consortium is worth trying to get in touch. One reason is that their power is huge enough to protect the summer; the other reason is that the Yutai people are famous for their ability to calculate, that is, it is easy to win over. As long as there is a profit to gain, I believe they should not mind working with him.

"Well, that's it. This time I went to Washington to watch the ceremony, I would definitely meet politicians and businessmen who were worried about the Taishou, and I could just get to know each other." Xia Tian thought.

...

After staying in Los Angeles for three days and after handling official duties, Xia Tian set off for Washington to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony held on January 21.

"Mr. Xia, you are finally here, welcome!" Xiao Bushi went to the airport to greet him in person.

Xia Tian is not only the biggest funder of Lao Bushi, but also one of the most influential media tycoons in the United States, and is worthy of his favor. What's more, Xia Tian is his business partner, and he has earned a lot of money by picking him up. Of course, he doesn't want to offend the God of Wealth.

"Mr. Bushi, please be polite." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Thank you for inviting me to the presidential inauguration."

"You don't have to be polite. My father was successfully elected this time, thanks to your help." Xiao Bushi smiled and said, "It's right to invite you to attend the ceremony."

Seeing him say this, Xia Tian also laughed, "By the way, there should be a lot of worry about Taishen this time, right?"

"Of course, they are not missing in the United States." Xiao Bushi curled his lips and said disdainfully.

He is not a native of Yu Tai, he is of authentic Anglo Saxon blood, so he is actually very dissatisfied with Yu Tai who calls the wind and rain in American society. Xiao Bushi once said in his previous life, "Only the Ji x disciples can go to heaven."

"Then can you recommend it for me?" Xia Tian smiled.

If you ask Xiao Bushi to help you recommend it, it will be considered a big banner and a tiger skin. At least it will let the Youtai Consortium know that it is not a big deal and can be bullied by others.

"What do you see them? A group of vampires." Xiao Bushi asked in confusion.

"Some business needs to be negotiated." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, but I remind you in advance that those people are quite greedy. If you talk to them about business, be careful of being cheated by them." Xiao Bushi reminded.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Xia Tian nodded, "Thank you for your reminder."

He also knew that the Youtai Consortium was not a good man and trustworthy woman, but he was also not an incompetent person and would not wait to suffer losses.

"Well, by the way, what good business has been going on recently? Let me get involved." Xiao Bushi asked curiously again.

"Uh..." Xia Tian hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "I am planning to invest in the acquisition of oil wells in Iraq recently in Kuwait. If you are interested, you can follow in and try it."

"Purchase oil wells in the Middle East?! You are so bold." Xiao Bushi said in surprise, "As far as I know, there is not much peace there."

"If a businessman wants to make money, he will win if he abandons me and wins me with me. Only in this way can he gain something. If everyone buys me, how can he get our turn?" Xia Tian smiled, "I think the oil wells in the Middle East have a future and will definitely appreciate in the future. If you are willing, just challenge me, it doesn't matter if you don't fight."

"You dare to do it, why don't I dare?" Xiao Bushi said with a smile when he heard this. His father is the president of the United States and one of the most powerful people in the world. Even if the Middle East is not peaceful, no one will dare to mix up his investment.

Xia Tian laughed when he saw that he agreed.
