Chapter 2372 Rebellious Daughter

"Although we are known as a family, our family's influence and history are probably a bit weaker than those of the families you mentioned. If we talk about family history, it dates back to the seventeenth century. At that time, my ancestor John Whitney first came across the ocean from England to the United States and settled in Waterton, Massachusetts. At that time, my ancestors lived in the same way as other immigrants from Europe, not rich, but also I can’t die from hunger. It wasn’t until the Revolutionary War that our family produced a person who could stand on the stage, Josiah Whitney. He became a general because of his bravery and command in the war. However, Since Mr. Josiah Whitney passed away, our family has returned to that state of obscurity."

"Then since it has returned to the state of being anonymous, how can it become a family?" Chen Kangjie is a very good listener, not only when he listens carefully, but also plays the role of connecting the past and the future in the interval.

"I have to mention my great-grandfather Collins Whitney. He was admitted to the prestigious Yale University in 1959. This incident became a turning point for our entire family." It seems that Whitney is quite concerned about the family history. I understand, even the year can be clearly remembered.

However, people in this kind of big family generally care about the inheritance and education of family history, which is part of reflecting and promoting the glory of the family.

"Being admitted to Yale University became a turning point in the family history, so the old man must have had an extraordinary encounter in Yale University, otherwise, it would be very difficult to have such an effect." Chen Kangjie followed.

"Yes, it was an extraordinary encounter. During his college years, he met Oliver Paine, the son of the Paine family, the richest family in the United States at that time. The two not only became good friends, but also, my great-grandfather I also met his sister Laura Paine under the introduction of Oliver Paine, and they finally got married, and Laura Paine became my great-grandmother."

"The Paine family you're talking about was the American railroad tycoon and shipping tycoon at that time? Is it the Paine family?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to know the Paine family." Whitney nodded teasingly.

"Actually, I don't know what the Paine family is. I only know that the largest railroad and freight forwarder in the United States at that time was the Paine family. Didn't you say that his family was very rich? Then I guessed it. Then what happened later? Just because he married Laura Pain, the Pain family will support you?" Chen Kangjie didn't want to get entangled with the Pain family, he continued to be curious about the Whitney family that Whitney was in front of him.

"Not entirely. Since my great-grandmother is the young lady of the Pain family, and Oliver Pain and my great-grandfather are good friends, there must be some care. At least it was the ladder for my great-grandfather to make a fortune. Later, we Whit The Ni family has also become a railroad and arms tycoon in the United States." Whitney shook his head.

"Railway tycoon and arms tycoon? I haven't heard that the American railway company and which powerful arms dealer belong to your Whitney family." Speaking of this, Chen Kangjie was really interested, especially the two "arms" This word made Chen Kangjie even more interested.

Why is Chen Kangjie so interested?This is not only because the products of several major arms giants in the United States are sold all over the world, and their annual profits are no less than that of drug sales. intimate relationship.

For the benefit of arms dealers, the U.S. government can launch wars. For the benefit of arms dealers, the U.S. government can suppress high-priced purchases by other governments. Sometimes it is no exaggeration to say that the U.S. government is the shadow of those arms dealers.

"Since it is a family, it is impossible for outsiders to see it clearly. Just like the Rockefeller family, it is said that they have hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, and some even say more, but what can be found on their books is three More than one billion dollars. There are many institutions trying to find out how much money the Rockefeller family has, but no one has succeeded. I am afraid that except for a few core members of the family, outsiders will never know. As for my family, I am only When I was young, I heard from my elders that our family can control most of the railway transportation on the east coast. As for arms, it should have some relationship with the current major arms dealers. I am a girl with a flamboyant personality. Go back and inquire about these things, and they usually wouldn’t tell me this.” Although Whitney’s words sounded a little contemptuous of Chen Kangjie, when you think about it carefully, it’s really true.

The reason why a family is a family is that it has its own tricks and secrets that outsiders cannot understand and grasp.

"You just said that it wasn't entirely because of the cultivation of the family. Does he know the daughters of other families? Or sworn brothers with the sons of other families?" Whitney couldn't make it clear, so Chen Kangjie didn't bother to ask, and just changed the topic and continued. Extend down.

Chen Kangjie is also a hidden predator with huge wealth.Although he doesn't know how those families operate in detail, but thinking about himself, it seems that there are two ways of breaking them up into parts and putting them under other people's names.Otherwise, such a large wealth cannot be completely hidden if you want to hide it.

"That's true, but I don't know very well. It is said that my great-grandfather joined some kind of organization when he was in the third year of college. This organization only absorbs fifteen members at Yale University every year. Moreover, these people who are absorbed, All of them are the elites of American high society. This is what I knew in my grandfather's study when I was very young." Whitney tilted his head and said while recalling.

"The Yale University organization only recruits fifteen members each year, and they are all elites from the upper class. What kind of organization would this be?" Chen Kangjie frowned, talking to himself.

"I don't know about this. My grandfather seems to be a member of this organization, but he never mentions it in front of outsiders and family members."

"Then what happened later? What happened later?" Chen Kangjie continued to ask.

"Later, my great-grandfather founded the railroad transportation company, and later, in 1884, when Cleveland was running for president, my great-grandfather helped a lot with his influence and was appointed Secretary of the Navy. In 1892, When President Cleveland left office, many people suggested and supported my great-grandfather to run for president, but he didn’t know whether he was unwilling to come to the fore or was not keen on political power, so he rejected many people’s good intentions.”

"Then what about your grandfather, your father, and the others? Do you also follow the route of your great-grandfather?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Don't talk nonsense. Later, our family has risen, so why do we need to marry others to curry favor, oh no, my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother, that is also true love, there is no meaning of marriage and curry favor at all." Huit Ni pouted disapprovingly.

"The route I said doesn't mean this, it means that they are careers. Where do you want to go?"

"Oh, this. Later, my grandfather became a businessman, but his brother became President Truman's secretary of commerce and head of intelligence agencies. Later, my father was keen on collecting art, horse racing, and so on. Lots of other investments, my uncle was a diplomatic ambassador to Europe, my uncle used to work in intelligence. That's it."

"Hehe, you have both money and power, no wonder you say you know Washington, no wonder you can rent out such a restaurant to consume exclusively for me alone." Chen Kangjie joked, "Then in your generation, your family Has it declined? You don’t go into business or politics, but you come to me as such a humble little assistant, and you have to be angry with me.”

Chen Kangjie's ridicule seemed to have gone beyond the logical scope of the conversation, which seemed to be over.But in fact, they still inquired about the situation from the side.

"Of course not, I just... don't like those jobs. Besides, inheriting the family business is my cousin and my brother's business, and has nothing to do with me." Whitney looked Chen Kangjie glanced at him, his face blushing a little.

"Your brother and your cousin are engaged in politics and business?" Chen Kangjie grasped a point and asked immediately.

"Yes, do you want me to explain in detail?" Whitney is not a stupid girl, and she is not yet unable to see Chen Kangjie's purpose.

"Well, it doesn't matter. If you want to talk, you can talk. If you don't talk, I won't ask." Chen Kangjie knows enough is enough, and if he breaks the casserole and asks the end, it may backfire.

Anyway, I already know so much, if I want to inquire about other situations, I have a source, which is much easier.

"Then I've said everything I need to say, are you going to drive me back to the United States?" Whitney asked, staring at Chen Kangjie with burning eyes.

"Do people in your family know that you have come to China to work as an assistant? Or do they support you in doing so?" Chen Kangjie did not promise directly.

"This is my business. It doesn't matter if they support it or not. I don't care whether they support it or not." Whitney said with a rebellious side.

"That means they don't know and don't support it anymore?" Chen Kangjie was just curious, not afraid or worried about anything.

"I didn't tell them at all. You haven't answered me yet, will you drive me back to the United States? You can't wait for me to finish talking." Whitney said stubbornly.

"Well, you can stay if you like. But first let me say that I will not give you special treatment just because you are a member of a big family, no matter what your job is or what."

Whitney has such an identity, Chen Kangjie has no reason to drive her away now, this layer of relationship and identity may be of great use if done properly.

"Wow, long, thank you." Excited, Whitney bent down and kissed Chen Kangjie hard on the face in joy.
