Chapter 180: Showdown (9000 words(2/4)

Sean raised his eyebrows.

"There's nothing bad to say. I believe you can understand that if you are still the same person before, participating in this kind of event will actually only do you harm but no good, right?" Hayden said bluntly.

Sean opened his mouth, and he had to admit that the other person was right.

If he were still the pizza waiter, he would only feel embarrassed and humiliated, and it might even cause a lot of other troubles.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.

"What now?" Sean asked with a smile.

"This is good for everyone now, isn't it?" Hayden raised his glass and gestured.

Sean picked up the cup and clinked it with him and took a sip.

"What do you think of the Rockefeller family?" Hayden asked, putting down his glass.

"Sit and watch." Sean shrugged, "The largest family in the United States, synonymous with power and wealth."

"Really?" Hayden looked at Sean with a smile.

"Otherwise." Sean wouldn't say his own opinion. It's good or bad.

Seeing that Sean had no intention of speaking, Hayden took another sip of wine and then slowly said: "The most glorious period of the Rockefeller family should be from 1882 to 1910."

"In 1882, the family monopolized 80% of the oil refining industry and 90% of the oil pipeline business in the United States. It controlled almost all industries in the United States, including several major railway lines. Our family became the first trust in American history. Later,

The family forms the financial core with four major banks including Citibank and Chase Manhattan Bank and three insurance companies, controlling 12% of the country’s banking assets and 26% of the country’s insurance industry assets.”

"During this period, the family was too glorious and stood at the top of the United States. However, this huge power and countless wealth also aroused too many people's fear, vigilance, and dissatisfaction. Too many people connected with each other and attempted to

They overturned the family completely, and in the end, they succeeded."

"They used various methods from all walks of life to attack and slander the family, and even used the media to characterize the family as an 'evil' monopoly capitalist. In the end, with the efforts of many parties, they succeeded."

"On May 15, 1911, the Supreme Court ruled that the family's Standard Oil Company was a monopoly, and Standard Oil was split into approximately 37 regional oil companies."

"Although after this, the family still controls the seven oil sisters of Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco, Gulf, BP and Royal Dutch Shell, making them the world's largest

There are seven multinational oil companies, but if they are split up, they are split up. What's more, the shares of these seven companies no longer belong to Rockefeller, and the equity is also very dispersed."

Hearing this, Sean nodded. He could understand this. It was like the ancient 'Tweeting Order'. It seems that they are still one family, and they are all brothers, but when they are separated, they are separated. As time goes by, each other

There will be more and more separation between them.

This was also the case with the subsequent four splits of China Telecom. Once it was broken up, it was broken up.

As for the CEO, everyone belongs to different companies, and they all depend on performance, so they will not be lenient when fighting.

"After 1911, the family began to diversify their operations. Although the assets were gradually expanding, the power and influence did begin to slowly decline. Instead of keeping their promises, this part was taken away by those guys. After that, the family began to

In cultivating one's own people in politics, the third generation of the family, Nelson Rockefeller, was the most successful. He entered government agencies for 40 years, served as governor of New York State for 16 years, and vice president for three years. He retired from politics nine years ago due to physical reasons."

"Even so, the family has been in decline over the years. Otherwise, we would not have lost to the civilian-born Nixon in the Elephant Party nomination. That year, Nixon became the president of the United States."

"Even half of the family's Rockefeller estate was cut off and donated to the country." After saying this, Hayden picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a ferocious expression on his face.

This is America, capitalism, and the Western gangster civilization that only worships the strong.

There is no king here who wants his ministers to die and they have to die, and there is no such thing as the king's land in the world. The tradition here is that private property is sacred and inviolable.

Here, donating something to the country is never a nice word.

That's a shame!!

What a shame!!

That can only mean that you have failed and are no longer able to effectively protect your property!

That would only attract the surrounding pack of wolves to pounce and bite madly.

What's more, cutting out half of the manor that the family has established for hundreds of years.

Charity is just a fig leaf to protect dignity.

"In fact, the family has always paid attention to every member of the clan, including those outside." After a while, Hayden recovered and continued: "No matter how incompetent he is, he must ensure a good life. He also pays attention to not causing any scandals.

After all, having this last name will give some people unnecessary excuses."

Sean suddenly realized that the fundamental purpose of this tradition of paying attention to and giving monthly money to illegitimate children was definitely not family affection, and the only consideration was the surname.

If just changing your last name can solve the problem, I definitely won't mind doing it here.

Hayden was paying attention to him, probably because of this, but he didn't expect that he would start from scratch.

This is a genetic, soul mutation...

"Tell us about ourselves." Hayden adjusted his mood and looked at Sean with a smile, "It has been six generations since Rockefeller was passed down to us. It has been divided into many families. Now there are more than 20 branches, and we are just one of them.

.”

"My father has neither business ability nor political acumen, so although our group has assets and is short of money, we have little power."

At this point, Hayden shrugged and laughed at himself: "Of course, I, including my brother, we have all tried to do business."

"But, it turns out that as long as we are not stupid enough to go into business, we will have endless money to spend in our lives and we will live a very happy life."

Hearing this, Sean burst out laughing and couldn't hold it back, "You guys...well, this is pretty good."

"Of course, I must admit that I am a qualified playboy. I have played all the things I should and shouldn't play." Hayden said with a laugh.

"I think it's not bad." Sean pointed to a group of second-generation people having fun over there, "I thought I would meet someone who would condescendingly humiliate me today."

"How is that possible?" Hayden asked with a smile: "Do you know what are the most basic qualities of a qualified second generation?"

"What is it?" Sean was curious about how the big family taught them.

Hayden pointed at his eyes, "You may not know how to do business, you may not know how to be in politics, and you may not have any brains. It doesn't matter even if you have many bad habits, but you must have a pair of sharp eyes to distinguish who can."

You can’t mess with anyone.”

"If you can't, then the family will arrange for someone to make it possible for you." After saying this, Hayden bared his teeth and smiled a little sinisterly.

Sean nodded in amusement. In later generations, there are many ways to cheat the second generation in China, but on this point, the Western world, whose inheritance has not been broken down, is indeed rich in experience and can handle it better.

All kinds of rules and etiquette teachings don't give you any freedom.

"Having said so much, I think you roughly understand what I mean by coming to you." Hayden looked at Sean.

Sean squinted his eyes and nodded, indicating that he was getting up and ready to do something.

The picture is poor and can be seen.

He wanted to see what Hayden had to say.

Hayden saw Sean's wariness, smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't be like this, I don't mean anything else. We are not capable or ambitious people."

"I have never had any intention of interfering in your business."

"If I had that ability, no matter how bad the family was, no matter how divided the family was, even if it only had a little resources, it would be enough to provide me with support and allow me to fully display my talents. Unfortunately, I can't." Hayden shrugged.

"The reason why I came to you is very simple. You are capable and very capable. Everyone can see this. However, in terms of social relations and resources, your background is indeed a bit poor. I can provide help in this regard."

"Instead of cooperating with outsiders, it is better to cooperate with members of the family. I will only take what I can negotiate with, and I will take the share I deserve."

Sean looked at Hayden in surprise. He really didn't expect that the other party would say such things. How could he be such a playboy with such eyes?

At least today, after meeting Sean, Hayden is definitely much better than most people, whether it is in terms of his ability to treat people, deal with things, or express his language, although he is not particularly outstanding.

Is this still a dandy?

Isn’t this much better than James Dolan?

This is about getting what you need. After careful consideration, Sean replied: "Of course I am willing to get the resources and support of the Rockefeller family."

It's okay to accept it, but he must be wary of a few moves.

Not to mention family members and blood relationships, Sean doesn't recognize this.

"I'm not qualified to represent the entire Rockefeller, I can only represent our team..." Hayden happily picked up the wine glass, "Have a good cooperation, cheers."

The two clinked their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

Sean looked at the group of second-generation people having fun on the other side. These 'resources' were probably used by Hayden for exhibition.

Indeed, useful.

If the Rockefeller family endorses you, your contacts with many people can go directly beyond the first step.

Let’s just talk about the business here. When Sean needs anything later, he will naturally come here to ask, and he will not monopolize the benefits that should be given up.

After chatting for a while, Sean couldn't help but ask the question he just asked.

"I, hahaha, no matter what, I am definitely better than most people." Hayden admitted openly, "I have received a better education, and the people and things I have come into contact with are more high-end and richer, and my family has cultivated me

He spares no effort, gives him more training opportunities, and has dedicated people to teach him. If he is not better than most people, then he is not a waste."

"Then why don't you come out to work?" Sean really didn't understand. Could Hayden still be missing a job opportunity?

Playing around all day, I'm tired of it after so many years.

"No." Hayden sighed, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

"How to say?"
To be continued...
