Chapter 1058

After talking about business with Dennis Ritchie, the next step is gossip. However, perhaps due to the existence of Dennis Ritchie, the gossip topic of everyone is about the commodity trading industry, and naturally all kinds of legendary news of mark Ritchie.

"John, how about I introduce some friends? When I came here today, many friends said they wanted me to help introduce you. Many people want to know you, St. John Lee."

"Oh... Hehe, that's OK. You still need Gordon's face, don't you? Besides, I think the person introduced by Gordon should also be regarded as a celebrity in California. I'm a young generation in California. I'd like to thank Gordon for helping you introduce and increase your knowledge."

"Hehe... John, you're so kind. Let's go and have a look!"

"OK, please!"

“...”

Led by Gordon Getty, the party walked into the middle of the venue. Soon, Li Feng and his party walked to a corner of the venue. However, they saw 4 or 5 middle-aged and elderly men sitting together tasting wine and chatting first. When they saw Li Feng and his party coming, they directly got up with a smile.

"John, this is Wright trainer and Henry Gianni. Both of them are independent directors of Bank of America. This is Robert gross and cotland gross brothers. They are directors of Loma company. This is..."

"Hehe... Don't introduce the last one. Cheney and I are old friends." Before Gordon's final introduction, Li Feng took the lead in joking.

"Hehe... Gordon, I've known John for a long time. John, it's nice to meet you in Napa Valley. I haven't congratulated you yet. It's said that St. mantoshava has purchased several famous villages in Napa Valley. It seems that we have a common hobby in the future. We'll have a chance to taste red wine together next time. I have two bottles of 72 year old monterina."

In reply, it was Cheney, President of Halliburton, who had been in contact before, that is, Richard Cheney, a close comrade in arms of the Bush family, the Secretary of defense of George W. Bush, the vice president of George W. Bush, and known as the most powerful vice president of the United States.

Today Cheney is the president of Houston's oil giant Halliburton. It has to be said that he is really capable. He can shoulder the responsibility of politics from the Secretary of defense to the vice president. It is also easy to manage a large oil giant. He is an excellent manager.

However, if you think about it, it's a little overqualified to be a person who can become the Secretary of defense and vice president of the United States, and manage an enterprise, although this enterprise is famous.

......

As for the other people Gordon helped introduce, from their surnames, Li Feng said that he wanted to introduce some friends from California to himself. Li Feng can roughly guess the family situation of these people. These are one of the controlling families of the once brilliant California consortium, and have a strong influence in California and even the United States.

The TranA family has been the most powerful family in San Francisco for hundreds of years. Naturally, it is one of the core families of the California consortium that rose after World War II. For kianni, many people may be very strange, but many people may understand that the predecessor of Bank of America was once called Bank of Italy, It was founded by an Italian immigrant surnamed Gianni.

Today's Bank of America, after hundreds of years of continuous expansion, naturally can not be the voice of the Gianni family, but as the financial flagship core of the California consortium, Bank of America is naturally the most important industry of the California consortium.

As the founder family that once founded the predecessor of Bank of America, it naturally has a pivotal influence in Bank of America.

The last gross brothers are obviously the gross family of Loma company. Lockheed, one of the predecessors of the famous Loma company, was acquired by the gross family in the 1930s. Although with the development of Lockheed company, many family consortia in California were continuously introduced, and finally merged with Martin company, which diluted the shares of the gross family.

However, as the former owner of Lockheed, including the founder of the famous skunk studio, the influence of the gross family in Loma and even the United States is undoubtedly one of the largest shareholders of Loma.

Although Li Feng doesn't know these people, through Gordon Getty's introduction, we can basically determine the origin of several people from their surnames. After all, he rose in California. It's natural to know about California consortium, the largest force in California. The data and information of many families of California consortium are collected by Li Feng.

......

In terms of personal wealth, these individual families can't beat themselves, but after decades of cooperation and development through the California consortium, these families have formed a close interest group, and their influence is by no means comparable to that of Li Feng in a short time.

Of course, today's Li Feng also makes these people look down upon. After all, the power controlled by Li Feng may not be as good as the overall California consortium, but it has the potential to catch up with and surpass.

In terms of Finance and banking, there are financial giants facing the world - CSCB and financial derivatives companies such as BlackRock on Wall Street; In the military industry, the core industry of the California consortium, there are also giants like Northrop Raytheon, which are not inferior to Loma.

The rest also includes the influence of real estate, entertainment media and other industries. Compared with the traditional California consortium, Li Feng's age advantage is more important.

It must be admitted that today's top American figures have recognized the rise of Li Feng. Most people may say "upstart" silently in their hearts, but Li Feng has enough influence to influence the American government to a certain extent.

These rich and powerful consortia will not do things that hurt both sides. In those days, the competition between the major consortia in the East and the West was so fierce that it basically ended with "shaking hands and making peace".

Nowadays, the major consortia penetrate into each other, and I have you in me. Now, for Li Feng's Century Series (which has been defaulted to be the newly rising century consortium), the rich consortia in the United States basically hold such an attitude and hope to cooperate with each other. Otherwise, the original Rockfeller and Roosevelt families would not have taken the initiative to win over Li Feng and choose cooperation.

In fact, Li Feng is happy to accept these. After all, Li Feng also knows that it is impossible for you to eat alone. For example, for those technology companies in Silicon Valley that will rise in the future, Li Feng is ready to master the big head by himself, and then win over some powerful families and consortia. Win-win cooperation is the best choice.

......

Looking at the group of people introduced to him by Gordon Getty, Li Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart that these are the representatives of the power of the California consortium. Suddenly, if he wants to know himself, he should pay a little attention.

It seems that now I am on the list of people's attention. There are advantages and disadvantages, and I need to grasp them in the future.
