The fact that Cole Smith, who is transformed into Yang Jing, can sit in this room is enough to show his current status and identity.

There are some things that need not be said, and smart people can naturally see clearly. As for idiots, as long as they are not hopelessly stupid idiots who know nothing, they also understand the status of this middle-aged man who came out with the banner figures of the top ten consortiums.

Although this person is very strange and is unfamiliar to almost everyone on the scene, seeing him chatting and laughing with those big men who can make the United States shake three times by stomping their feet is enough to show the energy of this person.

You know, even the US president may not be favored by some of these people.

As a veteran tycoon in New York, it is difficult for the Koch brothers to understand why the middle-aged man in his forties can be favored by those people, but they don’t understand it doesn’t matter. The two brothers and a friend know this mysterious man.

Seeing the mysterious man and the ten big men separated while laughing, Bloomberg quickly met and continued to chat and laugh with the mysterious man. The Koch brothers knew that the opportunity was coming.

"Hey, Michael, I just wanted to tell you something... Hey, this one is..." Charles Koch is the boss of the Koch brothers and has been fighting in the business world, so it is most suitable for him to come forward.

Bloomberg saw the Koch brothers coming over and said with a smile: "Hello Charles, David, David. Let me introduce you to Mr. Cole Smith of KY Investment Fund, Cole, this is Charles Koch of Koch, and this is the younger brother David Koch."

Bloomberg's introduction immediately shocked the Koch brothers. They both immediately realized why the middle-aged man in front of them stood with the ten big figures. This man does have such strength.

Charles Koch and David Koch immediately stretched out their hands, and Yang Jing shook hands with the two New York tycoons with a smile, "I'm glad to know you, two Mr. Koch."

"Haha, just call me Charles (David), I'm glad to meet you, Cole."

Yang Jing still knows some of the Koch brothers. These brothers can be said to be the richest people in New York now and even in the next twenty years. Even after thirty years, the assets of these brothers are no less than those of Bloomberg. The Koch Industries Group, under the name of the two brothers, acquired Georgia-Pacific in 2005, which is the largest case of a non-listed company in the history of the world. After this acquisition case, they surpassed Cargill and became the world's largest non-listed private company. Thirty years later, if the two brothers' assets add up, they can firmly become the world's richest man.

Whether now or in the future, these two brothers are one of the top tycoons in New York and even the United States. Although the two brothers cannot be compared with the top ten consortiums, they are also very powerful figures.

Especially his younger brother David Koch, like Bloomberg later, was a man who was both political and business. However, compared to Bloomberg's only obsessed with the position of mayor and president of New York, David Koch can be regarded as a giant in the Republican Party. With the cooperation of his older brother Charles Koch, the two brothers even dared to manipulate the change of the US Secretary of State.

The Koch brothers began to get involved in politics in 2003, investing huge amounts of money, and subtly deployed by controlling schools, think tanks and media and non-profit organizations. In the 2016 presidential election, the Koch brothers invested $250 million and spent another $20 million in 2017 to promote the tax reform bill. In November of the same year, the U.S. Congress will hold a midterm election, and one-third of the seats in the Senate and House of Representatives changed. In order to maintain the Republican majority, the Koch brothers invested $400 million.

The change of the US Secretary of State on March 19, 2018 was said to have been completed under the control of the two brothers.

Rex Tillerson, who used to be the CEO of Exxon Mobil, was spotted by the Twitter president in early 2017 and served as the 69th Secretary of State in the United States. It is said that Tillerson did a good job in the position of Secretary of State, but the Twitter president's big mouth is really annoying, and there was a conflict between the two.

On March 19, 2018, the Twitter President finally dismissed Tillerson, who had been working for only a little over a year, and replaced the current CIA director Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State.

Why do we say that the change of Secretary of State is controlled by the Koch brothers? This starts with Pompeo, who succeeds Tillerson as the new US Secretary of State.

Since they began to enter the American politics, the Koch brothers have relied on their strong financial resources and meticulous and perfect plans and trained for many years. Pompeo, the director of the CIA, who took over the unlucky Tillerson as Secretary of State, is just the most outstanding representative.

In the 2010 midterm elections, Pompeo was elected as a federal member of the congress with the support of the Koch brothers, and since then he has been called "the member of the Koch brothers". In January 2017, the president of Twitter nominated the Senate for approval, and Kansas Federal Representative Mike Pompeo became the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency.

Although the Koch brothers and the Twitter President are both Republicans, they are not in the same sub-campus. In the early stage, the two brothers supported the Twitter president to become the US president, which was purely "the overall situation is the priority." However, in the matter of the change of secretary of state, the Koch brothers do not intend to "the overall situation is the priority".

Although the change of Secretary of State is not only a change of Twitter president, but also the result of the balance of the Republican faction. Who can believe that there is no hand or footsteps of the Koch brothers?

After all, the newly appointed Secretary of State is a hardcore brother of the Koch brothers, which is well-known.

Now the whole world knows a fact that in American politics, the president is just a front-end clown, rich and awesome as the president of Twitter, but still cannot escape the fate of a marionette. This time, the Koch brothers, the change of Secretary of State, is behind the scenes of the Koch brothers, one of the most powerful factions of the Republican Party in the United States.

Although the Koch brothers have not yet reached their hands into the American politics and their wealth is not as rich as they will in the future, there is no doubt that these brothers can also be as good as Bloomberg.

Although these two brothers have a bad reputation and work as the top ten polluting petrochemical industry in the United States, so what?

In fact, the US presidential election that suddenly mentioned when I was having a dinner with Mike Aller and several senior executives of the Dragon Fund a few days ago made Yang Jing finally prepare to look at the American politics.

This time it is Bush of the Republican Party, but the next Zipperton or O'Hei Tan in 2009 are both Democrats. As for Bush and the Twitter president, they are all Republicans, and now they are all potential stocks.

Although the US president has a steward-looking vision in a real American big shot, a future president is better than doing nothing, right? At least that position is recognized as the world's number one person in the world's power.

While making friends with future US presidents, Yang Jing definitely doesn't mind making friends with some big names with greater energy, such as the core figures of the top ten consortiums in the United States, such as future political stars.

In this country where capital is king, as long as the Dragon Fund always maintains a strong state, many big names don’t need him to make friends with them deliberately. Instead, they will feel themselves. This is the charm of money.

Just like today, if he didn't reveal that he was the boss of KY Investment Fund, or if KY Investment Fund did not show such strong financial strength in the stock market crash, would he be invited by those ten to enter the cigar house to smoke cigars? Will these two top tycoons in New York come back and take the initiative to make friends with him?

Since you feel yourself, let's accept it as you wish.

Tycoon-level figures of this era are really extremely energy-efficient. Those richest people in the world or rich people with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars in the Internet era are those with a high personal wealth. These people's energy in the United States is far less than those who have become tycoons now.

Whether it is Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, or Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, these billionaires and even billionaires created by the Internet era are very rich on the surface, but in fact, those real tycoon-level figures really don't take these people into consideration.

Why? It’s very simple. Although these people have extremely rich personal wealth, they do not have the foundation to form a consortium now - the bank!

If you want to build a century-old consortium or family, and to truly gain a foothold in this country where capital is king, then he must have a bank with sufficient strength as the core. Without banks, it is not called a consortium at all.

Even Yang Jing plans to start playing the game of acquiring banks from next year.

If the Dragon Fund wants to develop, it must have its own core bank. If there is no core bank, even if the Dragon Fund owns more than one trillion US dollars, it will be rootless duckweed.

Yang Jing, who is familiar with the history of the next thirty years, naturally knows the core position of the bank in a consortium. Therefore, if the Evil Dragon Fund is to develop a large enough consortium, a core bank is essential.

Yang Jing knew very well that in the next few years, it would be a period of frequent mergers and acquisitions in the United States. Not to mention anything else, just next year, that is, in 1988, there will be eight bank mergers and acquisitions in the United States. For example, the Shawmatt Company under the Boston Consortium acquired Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Trust respectively next year, and finally formed the Boston National Shawmat Bank.

In addition, the First Bank System acquired the Denver Central Bank, and its name was the First Bank System after the merger; Wells Fargo acquired Barclays Bank in California; Pacific Securities acquired Bank of Ireland; Swiss Trust acquired the First Boston Company, and its name was the First Boston after the merger; North Carolina National Bank acquired the First Republican Bank.

These are all bank mergers and acquisitions next year, and the amount of the merger is not very large. For the Evil Dragon Fund, which is now holding a lot of money, even if it snatches four of them next year, it will only cost more than 20 billion US dollars.

The Dragon Fund has nothing else now, it’s money!

As long as you can grab four acquired banks next year, by the 1990s, it will take less than ten years to acquire some banks, a large bank that is no less than **** or Chase Manhattan Bank will be born. Then the Dragon Fund with this bank as the core will have its core business, and a rising Dragon Consortium or Dragon Consortium is just around the corner!
