Chapter 1457 The World of the Chaebol (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The Hamptons is the backyard of New York's wealthy.

Basically all the wealthy people in New York have a seaside manor or villa here. Jason's villa was purchased by Li Yian during World War II. The 12-acre manor has hosted many guests.

In the early 1950s, many international students spent their summers here. At that time, Li Yian even set up an office to invite them to spend the summer here and provided travel expenses.

Later, most of them went to Chang'an, and are now working in various universities and research institutes, and some of them have founded their own companies.

Later, it was given to Peggy, and Peggy gave the manor to Jason.

Although the winter in the Hamptons is very cold, the burning fireplace keeps the indoor temperature over 20 degrees.

Since arriving here, Li Yian has talked a lot with Jason, and naturally they also talked about money and power.

Of course, we also talked about the various conflicts among American financial groups.

wealth!

The wages of avarice is death!
This is the eternal truth in the world.

Even among American financial groups, there are various conflicts of interest, and the core issue is that wealth is limited.

"Although the Boston Financial Group once ranked first among American financial groups, it was constantly surpassed by newcomers. Both Morgan and Rockefeller were latecomers to the Boston Financial Group, which started out with the slave triangle trade. However, they quickly surpassed the former by relying on the finance, steel, railway and oil industries..."

Listening to Jason's story, Li Yian frowned.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the development of the entire Boston Consortium can be described as calm and uneventful. Until Kennedy came to power, things changed and the Boston Consortium began to restore its old glory. Kennedy came from the Boston Consortium, and it was with the help of the Boston Consortium that he ascended the throne of the White House.

In order to return the favor, he immediately began to attack other financial groups as soon as he came to power. First, he attacked the US military-industrial complex, and then tried to use silver certificates to attack the Federal Reserve. He also had many conflicts with the US steel and oil industries.

From the fate of the Kennedy brothers, it can be clearly seen that the Kennedy family did not offend a certain consortium or an interest group in a certain industry. No interest group in any industry, even the military-industrial complex, has such a strong power to attack the incumbent president, not to mention that Kennedy's brother died later.

There was only one reason—he offended everyone.

And he really offended everyone, from the military-industrial complex to the Federal Reserve, from the Federal Reserve to U.S. Steel, from U.S. Steel to U.S. Oil... It is simply unimaginable that one person could offend so many groups in just three years!
Of course, a guy who breaks the "rules" like this cannot be allowed to stay on the stage.

"It seems that all this may have started out of profit!"

While expressing his feelings, Li Yian saw one of the reasons from his wild imagination.

"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents!"

In fact, this is the reason why interest groups counterattack, and even the reason why interest groups are formed, is because their interests have been damaged!

This is the most absurd place in the world. In the United States, where capital controls everything, there are interest groups that will kill for profit.

Even in Moscow, a place without capital power, there will still be a group of people whose interests are damaged and who will choose to launch positive changes in order to protect their own power.

Interest groups... are so magical that no matter where you are in the East or the West, you cannot avoid them, let alone eradicate them!
It is like a parasite, clinging tightly to the body of human society!

You can't get rid of it, and you can't break free!
When you try to break free, he will counterattack, and the counterattack is deadly!
After saying this, Li Yian suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness... Now, he even wished that there really was a mysterious organization in this world that controlled everything. In that case, a Tomahawk missile would solve all problems.

But now?

The so-called "mysterious power" is itself part of the limbs, how do you get rid of it?
Families that control wealth and politicians that control power will all come together for profit and form groups.

When their interests are damaged, they will fight back!
"Who knows? But every financial group has its own interests. I can support Baltimore, but father, you know, the Kennedy brothers' bare-chested action is a problem in itself."

Looking at his father, Jason, who had gained a full understanding of the consortium and its behind-the-scenes affairs since marrying Anne, said:

"Originally, we should have been behind the scenes manipulating everything. Mellon was once the Secretary of the Treasury, but people accused him of creating the economic crisis, and he eventually died in it. Some things are not suitable for us to do personally, and that is why the families now prefer to look for agents."

After hearing what Jason said, Li Yian asked:

"So, you have found a spokesperson?"

"There are many spokespersons, like Nixon. Although he is a Republican, he is also funded by the Kennedy family. As for Johnson, the one standing behind him is..."

For Jason, who was in the middle of it, he understood the inside story better and easily explained some of Li Yian's doubts.

Politicians and financial groups have a close community among them.

"So, in your opinion, the Alessandro family has no chance?"

Jason shook his head and said:

"Kennedy's failure was due to his weak political foundation. The Alejandro family... they are just a local political family with basically no foundation in Washington. If a few senators could emerge before this, perhaps there would still be a chance."

After thinking for a while, Jason added:

"But it all depends on him. If he is not a mature politician, it is better for his safety to stay away from there. After all, it is a jungle there. Once you become a prey, you may lose everything!"

This was naturally a reminder from the eldest brother, and Li Yian certainly agreed with this.

Afterwards, they talked a lot, mostly about business matters. Global Group not only owns multiple ports on the East and West Coasts, but also owns the Amazon iron mine, plus their investments in the semiconductor field.

Today's Universal has already become a giant, of course, there are also some tips given by Li Yian, such as the long-term investment in semiconductors, which has made them the leader in the US semiconductor field.

However, semiconductors are just one of their investment projects. Looking at his father, Jason said:
"Dad, actually I originally planned to go to Chang'an to discuss something with you."

"Oh? What happened?"

“Pfizer!”

Jason said in the calmest tone possible:
“I plan to acquire Pfizer!”

what!
Surprised, Li Yian looked at Jason and heard him explain:

"Father, I think the pharmaceutical market will be a very large market in the future. With the development of medical technology, everyone needs medicine and everyone cannot live without medicine. Therefore, the pharmaceutical market will be one of the largest markets in the future..."

This is indeed true. In fact, many people imagine that the difference is that before World War II, the pharmaceutical market was relatively limited. After all, except for a few drugs at that time, most drugs were metaphysical.

It was after World War II, with the invention of antibiotics and the emergence of various new drugs, that pharmaceutical companies developed rapidly and made huge profits.

"During World War II, Pfizer successfully mass-produced penicillin and launched oxytetracycline, officially entering the pharmaceutical industry. It is currently the fourth largest pharmaceutical company in the United States and holds patents for many drugs. By acquiring Pfizer, it can directly enter the pharmaceutical field. In the future, as people pay more attention to health, this company will definitely bring extremely rich returns to the group."

Not only will it bring extremely generous returns, in the future it will even become the world's largest pharmaceutical company, leading the world in many fields from pharmaceuticals to biology, and even being called the "cosmic pharmaceutical factory" by some people with ulterior motives.

However, the scale of this company cannot be compared with that of the other world. Even so, it is still a large company with a market value of several hundred million US dollars.

"So what are you going to do?"

"My plan is to set up a special investment fund, which will absorb some shares including Mellon, and then acquire Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in the name of the fund."

This is a typical American operation. In another world, whether it is Microsoft or Apple, their largest shareholder is not Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but Vanguard Group, an investment fund that manages trillions of dollars in assets. Who are its shareholders?

There are Mellon, Rockefeller, and many other "early rich" people who are familiar to people of this era, but in the new century their glory has been overshadowed by the glory of "late rich" such as Bill Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg, and Musk.

But who knows that those who become rich later are merely creating value for the “rich earlier” and making the wealth pie bigger.

But to a certain extent, this is the best choice. At least, the continuous emergence of the late rich has given hope to the people at the bottom, but what about the early rich?

They remain behind the scenes through complex shareholdings and must enjoy their wealth and privileges without being noticed by the world.

Just like another world, whether it is Bill Gates or Buffett, their so-called "naked donation" is actually to avoid inheritance tax, in the form of so-called fund meetings, so that future generations can continue to control their wealth, and then make various investments in the name of the foundation. Then they completely hide themselves behind the scenes, and many of them are just philanthropists.

Maybe one day they will become a member of a family, hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything.

"Just make your decision. If you need financial help, I can provide some."

Li Yian said with a smile, after all, he was the first to get rich. It is natural for him to help those who got rich later, but the real help should still be at home.

"I know. By the way, Dad, can you come up with a name for the new company?"

Faced with his son's question, Li Yian spoke without hesitation.

"Let's call it Pioneer."

At this moment, a little boy ran over, threw himself into Li Yian's arms, and said in a baby voice:
"Grandpa, snowman, come with me...build a snowman..."
