I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 497 Uncrowned King
It stands to reason that if you help someone win a sky-high gambling game, no matter what, they will ask for "dividends". But what surprised Jiang Chen was that Vera didn't show up again until he left Las Vegas. After a game of Texas Hold'em, he disappeared.

Although it feels strange, but life is like this, many people are destined to just pass by in a hurry, Jiang Chen didn't think too much about it,

Putting this matter aside for the time being, he devoted himself to playing the role of a competent boyfriend, and accompanied Li Shurui on a romantic trip. San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans... many famous cities left their footprints.

About twenty days later, the group returned to New York.

Because they are about to return to China, Liu Hongzhi and Xue Yali solemnly invited Jiang Chen and Li Shurui to dinner.

The place I chose is also relatively high-end, a century-old store next to Times Square.

"Let's discuss something."

Starting from the Peninsula Hotel, because the distance is not far, Li Shurui and Jiang Chen chose to walk.

This trip has completely sublimated the relationship between the two of them. If there is still an indication of favorability, Jiang Chen suspects that Li Shurui's favorability for him may have reached 100.

"what?"

He held Li Shurui's hand lightly, walking on the streets of foreign countries in the same posture as in the past twenty days.

Not only for Li Shurui, but for him, this journey will also become a memory worth cherishing.

"What do you think of Liu Hongzhi?"

Li Shurui turned her head and asked.

She is indeed a girl who knows how to dress up. In layman's terms, the clothes are very good. Today, she is wearing the Chanel skirt she bought during the trip, showing her long and slender legs. Like her sister, she wears a black top Ray Hat, no less than a fashion model in a magazine ad.

Passing foreigners frequently looked sideways.

"Great talent, one-of-a-kind talent."

Jiang Chen didn't think about it.

"Do you really think so?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "What's wrong?"

"I think... Isn't Tianci short of manpower? Can we recruit him?"

Jiang Chen was a little surprised, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"He is capable enough and has a lot of work experience. If he joins Tianci, he will definitely be of great help to Tianci's development."

Li Shurui looked serious.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Jiang Chen also changed his attitude, and pondered for a while.

"He is capable, I admit this, but have you ever thought about this problem? If you want to hire him to join Tianci, then he can only return to China to work, at least for now. What about your sister? Do you want them to be a couple? Two places, no, the two countries live apart? Are you not afraid that your sister will blame you?"

"You don't have to worry about this problem, Yali won't have any objections."

"why?"

Jiang Chen subconsciously asked, but quickly realized, "Could it be your sister..."

Li Shurui shook her head lightly, "She didn't tell me directly, but she mentioned to me cryptically that Liu Hongzhi is actually not very happy in Wall Street, and the pressure is quite high."

high pressure.

Of course Jiang Chen can see this, even if the contact time is not long.

This is the case in any industry. No matter how tall you are, you are actually not as glamorous as outsiders, especially when you are working hard in a foreign country.

Don't look at the old beauty who is always talking about democracy and freedom, everyone is equal, and against racial discrimination.

But the facts are there for all to see.

When dealing with those securities companies before, Jiang Chen had deeply felt the arrogance of Westerners, and only changed his attitude after understanding his strength.

Although he manages a fund worth tens of millions of dollars, Liu Hongzhi may not be enjoying himself on Wall Street.

"You are her sister, and she is looking for you, and you still play charades?"

Jiang Chen teased.

"The relationship between you and Luo Peng is also very good. Some things, he won't tell you directly, will he?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "It makes sense."

"What's your opinion?"

Li Shurui took his arm.

"Of course I... have no objection."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Since your sister doesn't mind, why would I mind that the company recruits a talent, but I'm worried that Tianci is currently small, and your brother-in-law may not be willing to give in."

"Why don't you ask him later?"

"I'm going to ask?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Why don't you let your sister ask directly? They are a couple, isn't it better to talk?"

"You are such a smart person, don't you understand?"

Jiang Chen smiled, and expressed his feelings, "You two sisters really control men to death. Any man in front of you may not be able to escape."

indeed.

If Xue Yali asked directly, it might hurt Liu Hongzhi's self-esteem.

Li Shurui pinched him lightly.

"Okay, then I will find a chance to ask him later, but you are too underestimating your brother-in-law. Do you think he will be so weak that he can't even accept his girlfriend's kindness?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled.

Chatting all the way, the two came to the restaurant.

Li Shurui let go of Jiang Chen's arm.

Liu Hongzhi and Xue Yali had already arrived and got up to say hello.

The host is seated.

The two sisters are sitting next to their boyfriends, the picture is enviable and quite beautiful.

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations."

Liu Hongzhi opened his mouth, and when we met again, the way he looked at Jiang Chen undoubtedly changed a little bit.

Of course Jiang Chen understood what he was congratulating,
"I have to say thank you. If it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"It's just a small effort. I should be the one to say thank you. Thanks to Mr. Jiang, I also made a lot of money this time."

Liu Hongzhi was outspoken.

Jiang Chen was not surprised at all.

Liu Hongzhi was the first to know the inside story of the attack on KE. If he can't benefit from it, then he is a fool on Wall Street, and those who put money in his hands are also fools.

"You two, don't thank you, just like talking about business, it's hypocritical."

Li Shurui casually interjected while looking at the menu.

Jiang Chen and Liu Hongzhi smiled at each other.

During the meal, several people chatted about travel anecdotes during this period, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Suddenly.

Li Shurui's hand secretly pushed Jiang Chen.

Xue Yali also kept winking at Li Shurui.

Jiang Chen understood, but when he was about to speak, he only heard Liu Hongzhi turn his head and say to his girlfriend: "Yali, there is something that I forgot to tell you."

Xue Yali, who wanted to help her boyfriend change to a better environment, looked puzzled.

Although Tianci is currently small in scale, regarding Jiang Chen's strength, during this time, she has already had a glimpse of the leopard, and she has a relationship with her cousin. If her boyfriend joins Tianci, it will definitely have a better future than working hard on Wall Street.

"I quit."

Liu Hongzhi's words were astonishing.

Jiang Chen and Li Shurui looked at each other.

"You resigned?"

Xue Yali obviously didn't expect it, and hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

Liu Hongzhi put down the knife and fork, picked up a white napkin and wiped his mouth, "Last week. I didn't want to affect your trip, so I didn't tell you."

Xue Yali frowned slightly, "Why did you resign?"

Jiang Chen and Li Shurui didn't blindly intervene in the matter of the couple.

"Because my current development has encountered a bottleneck, I want to change to a broader platform. BlackRock has already sent me an invitation."

When speaking, Liu Hongzhi couldn't help showing a hint of pride and longing for the future in his tone.

"You want to quit?"

Xue Yali understood.

"Trees move to death, people move to live. This is the industry. If you want to develop better, you can only change to a bigger platform."

"congratulations."

Before Xue Yali could speak, Jiang Chen congratulated and picked up the red wine glass.

"Thank you."

Liu Hongzhi raised his glass.

Xue Yali's words stopped abruptly.

Obviously, this sniper attack on KE has a wide range of influence and affects a large number of people.

Jiang Chen didn't ask Liu Hongzhi how much wealth he had earned from it, but he also knew that what the other party gained was definitely not just wealth.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as it is a smart person, will take advantage of it to the extreme, so as to gain both fame and fortune.

Until the end of the dinner party, Jiang Chen didn't mention the matter of letting the other party join Tianci Capital.

"Sister, brother-in-law, shall we take you back to the hotel?"

"No, we're walking around, you guys go back first."

"Okay then, sister, brother-in-law, goodbye."

Xue Yali and Liu Hongzhi got into the car. Regarding the job change, the couple must have a lot of questions to communicate.

Ordinary couples only want to be happy together. Only those who really want to go on will be responsible for each other's future.

Li Shurui and Jiang Chen were walking in Times Square.

"Did you forget what I told you?"

"No."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's just that you didn't hear it just now?"

"Hear what?"

"BlackRock has already offered him an olive branch, how could I have the nerve to ask him to join Tianci."

"Is this company very powerful?" Li Shurui asked curiously.

Jiang Chen exhaled lightly: "This company is not a word, it can be described."

Li Shurui was surprised.

With my man's current level, this evaluation of a company is enough to show that this company is indeed extraordinary.

"How come I've never heard of it."

Jiang Chen squinted at her, "There are too many things you haven't heard of."

Li Shurui immediately pinched his waist.

"Just kidding. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, you don't study economics. If it weren't for the introduction of a few lectures in class, I might not know about this company."

"What's so great about it?"

Jiang Chen explained: "BlackRock is currently the largest listed investment management group in the world. I mean the largest. It should rank in the top [-] or [-] among the top [-] companies in the world."

Li Shurui was puzzled, "Aren't there only two or three hundred?"

"Tsk,"

Jiang Chen jokingly smiled.

"Only two or three hundred? Li Xuemei, your tone is really getting louder now."

Li Shurui raised her other hand.

Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "Pay attention to your image, so many foreign friends are watching."

Immediately, he continued to explain: "The so-called wealth ranking, just look at it. If you take the above data seriously, you will lose. Put yourself in the shoes, if it were you, would you expose yourself to the eyes of the whole world? "

"Although BlackRock's ranking is only two or three hundred, in fact, the assets it holds are far more than this level. Let me ask you, if you were asked to pick a few of the most influential companies in the world, would you Which ones to choose?"

Li Shurui looked thoughtful.

Jiang Chen pulled her to sit on the bench for people to rest.

"Microsoft, Google, Apple."

Not long after, Li Shurui gave an answer.

"I thought you would say Ali and Teng Xun."

"Although I have never studied economics, I have received nine years of compulsory education."

Jiang Chen laughed out loud.

"You keep talking."

Li Shurui urged.

"If I hadn't attended those classes, I might have given the same answer as you. According to the ranking of the world's top [-], it is enough to count the top few subjects according to the script, but the reality is not the case."

"There are a few companies whose names may not be seen in the top [-], but their tentacles have quietly extended into every corner of the world, constructing a huge network that penetrates all pervasively, covering the whole world , no one can escape. BlackRock, who offered an olive branch to your brother-in-law, is one of them."

Li Shurui's eyes moved.

"I'm not alarmist. Let me give you a simple example. Do you have many brands of shampoo that girls use the most? Every time you buy it, is it easy to fall into the difficulty of choosing? But no matter who you choose in the end, these brands Behind them are all these companies."

"Shampoo is just the most trivial field. Almost all the famous companies you know, most of them, can find their names in the list of shareholders, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, which are among the best companies in the world. "

Li Shurui was shocked, but hesitated to speak.

"Is it unbelievable? Yes, when I was sitting in the classroom, I was in the same mood as you are now. Do you think Coca-Cola or Pepsi is better?"

Jiang Chen's topic suddenly jumped.

Li Shurui was caught off guard, but subconsciously replied: "Let's have Coca-Cola."

"But why do I think Pepsi tastes good?"

Jiang Chen smiled, and continued: "But it doesn't matter, they are also a family."

"how is this possible!"

Li Shurui blurted out.

If these words were spoken by another person, she would definitely feel that the other person was fooling a fool.

As long as there is a bit of common sense, who doesn't know that Coca-Cola and Pepsi are life-and-death competitors?
"It's unbelievable, right? But in fact, Pepsi and Coke are just one example. From ordinary food and beverages, to daily necessities, to the technology field, many companies that seem to fight to the death in a certain field, Behind them are those few investment companies. They monopolize almost all walks of life, and if you open their shareholder lists, you will find that these companies also invest in each other.”

"The so-called competition is just a means to eliminate dissidents and ensure your own monopoly position. The reason why you haven't heard of them is because of the media channels, and it's not a fish that slipped through the net. No one knows how much their assets are. , but if we compare them to a country, the combined economic aggregate of these companies should rank third in the world.”

Li Shurui was speechless for a long time.

Jiang Chen also calmed down.

In fact, what he said was just the tip of the iceberg.

That's why some people always say that the more you know about this world, the more you will feel hopeless about it.

"...Then who is in charge of these companies, and who is behind them?"

Li Shurui asked in a whisper.

This is a pretty deep question.

Jiang Chen looked at Times Square, but couldn't give any more answers.

Yes.

These companies have become the uncrowned kings who rule the world.

But behind these companies, what forces are dominating?
