The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 761: United Fruit Company, a bloody history of a multinational giant! Qin Shi Huang: Threaten the imperial court? Kill all nine clans!
[Many large companies in history have gone extinct, but it changed its name and continued to dominate! ]

[Not only do they live well, but they also have a considerable business presence in the country. ]

[How big is this company's reputation? ]

[If you are not happy with a country’s government, just overthrow it! ]

[If you do well in a country, you will occupy 70% of the arable land in other countries! ]

[When our own workers are exploited to the point of being disobedient, we use violence to suppress them! ]

【The number is as high as 5000 times! 】

[I feel the need to deepen local relations, so I just marry the president's daughter! ]

[Want to deepen the logistics system, so I occupied 90% of the railways in a country! 】

【And all ports! 】

[If you need a strong backer, just hire the US Secretary of State as your lawyer! ]

[Invite the CIA director to be a director! ]

[If you make too much money accidentally, the company's profit can even be ten times the country's annual fiscal revenue! ]

[When capital is not put in a cage, there is nothing they cannot do except what you cannot think of. ]

Barrage:

——"The legendary cyberpunk company!"

——“Capital should be hung on the wall!”

——"Isn't this the United Fruit Company? It's even more powerful than the East India Company!"

——"Capitalists only care about profit, how terrible..."

——"I heard that he is still living a comfortable life after changing his name. It's scary to think about it..."

—"'You must always remember that those were more than three thousand people, all thrown into the sea.'"

……

Ancient people from all dynasties looked at the bizarre contents on the sky and were not only confused but also bewildered.

What kind of company is this?
How can they be so rampant under the management of the imperial court? !
It would be bad enough if they occupied the country's foundation and exploited the people, but they could even directly overthrow the imperial court?
Apart from the imperial court, any force that grows stronger will be a threat to the country!
This is not a business at all, it's clearly a local lord!

……

Qin Dynasty plane.

Looking at what was displayed on the sky curtain, the First Emperor's expression gradually turned cold.

How dare a mere businessman be so arrogant and domineering?
This is clearly a challenge to the imperial court!
If such a business were allowed to appear in Daqin, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country!
"Where's the brain?"

Thinking of this, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but sneer.

It can be said that those rulers were also not in their right mind to allow such merchants to grow so big.

He unified the six kingdoms, standardized the wheel gauge and the writing system, all in order to put an end to this separatist trend!
This company is like a country within a country. How is this behavior different from the division of the six countries? !

If this kind of situation happens in our Great Qin, we will eradicate it completely and serve as a warning to others!
If you dare to compete for power with the imperial court, your entire clan will be implicated!
[The company we are talking about today handcrafted the concept of "Banana Republic"! ]

【Countries such as Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica were included in the bag. 】

【United Fruit Company.】

[The United Fruit Company is an American multinational corporation, later renamed United Brands Corporation, and now known as Chiquita Brands International Corporation.]

[The company was founded in 1899 by American entrepreneurs Minor Keith and Andrew Preston by merging several fruit trading companies.]

[United Fruit Company is mainly engaged in banana planting, transportation and sales. ]

[The company owns a large number of banana plantations in Central America and the Caribbean and controls large tracts of land.]

[Due to its huge political and economic influence in Central American countries, these countries are called "banana republics." 】

[The company actually controls the economic lifelines of several Central American countries by controlling infrastructure such as railways and ports.]

[In 1954, the United Fruit Company, with the support of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, participated in the overthrow of the government of Guatemala's democratically elected President Árbenz.]

[The company reached its peak in the early to mid-20th century, controlling nearly 90% of the banana import trade! ]

[In the 1970s, due to political scandals and management problems, the company changed its name to United Brands. ] [In 1984, the company changed its name again to Chiquita Brands International, which it has continued to this day. ]

Barrage:

——“So I basically don’t buy Unilever products.”

——"Cuba is really awesome!"

——"It's just the history of the gang's rise to power."

——"It's really scary to think about the origins of Chiquita now!"

——"Isn't this naked economic colonialism? I feel sorry for these small countries."

——"No wonder developing countries are so wary of multinational corporations. It's too scary..."

——"They change their identities and continue to reap profits. The capitalists are really good at playing tricks!"

……

The ancients looked at what was displayed on the sky curtain and fell into silence one by one.

I used to think that business was nothing more than the exchange of goods and profits, but who could have imagined that business in later generations would develop to this extent.

How much blood and tears have been shed by the people in controlling the lifeline of other countries and interfering in regime changes?

If you think about it carefully, it’s really chilling!

What is even more thought-provoking is that even after all the evil deeds were exposed, this business was still able to survive by changing its appearance.

This makes people wonder, driven by interests, whether human nature has been alienated to the extreme?

The answer is absolutely yes.

The temptation of profit is really too great.

When the power of a business group can override that of a sovereign state, the order of the world suddenly becomes absurd.

……

Qing Dynasty plane.

Yongzheng looked at the contents on the sky curtain and his brows gradually furrowed.

The Central Intelligence Agency should be similar to the Military Affairs Bureau, right?
How could the eyes and spies of the imperial court collude with merchants?

Isn't this equivalent to destroying the Great Wall?

If this merchant gains power, he will certainly threaten the imperial court.

If you allow them to overthrow other countries' regimes today, won't you use the same tricks on yourself in the future?
I really don't understand what these people are thinking.

As a leader of a country, can you be so narrow-minded?

So how did they get to this position?
[It has been 122 years since the founding of the United Fruit Company. ]

[But the United Fruit Company's layout actually dates back much earlier than 1899.]

[In 1854, there was a Boston businessman named Henry Max. ]

[Whatever business Henry does, he loses money.]

[Under the halo of this American version of the industry's doomsday, he decided to take a boat to Latin America to try his luck.]

[So, Henry took the $8000 he got from securities fraud and disguised himself as an experienced railroad builder.]

[They fooled the Chilean government, which had just gained independence from Spain not long ago.]

【Contracted the second railway between Santiago and Valparaiso. 】

[After making their first fortune by cutting corners and exploiting the labor, they quickly moved to Peru.]

[A relatively difficult plateau railway was built near the capital Lima. ]

【At this time, Henry himself began to change. 】

[Capital is like this, the first pot of gold is often stained with blood. ]
