Chapter 159: The American Consortium!

"Then this is a big difference from what you imagined." Then he said: "This is just an ordinary party, but the identity of the people at this party is different."

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard Soros say this, but he has to say that Soros is right. This party has nothing to do with other parties, but it is different. If you want to tell the difference, it is just that the people here are richer.

This is true. The gatherings on Wall Street can be said to be no different from ordinary gatherings. If you want to say the difference, you can only say that the people who can come here are very rich. Of course, the money here does not mean that ordinary rich.

Needless to say, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, although I don’t know how much money the two major families in the United States has, I believe that the sum of the money of the two major families is enough to have an impact on the world’s economy. What’s more important is the control of these two major families. It can be said that the United States is the private power of these two major families. Although other families and consortiums are also very strong, they are a bit inferior in strength.

In addition to the Rockefeller and Morgan families, there is also the DuPont family. Many people may not know the history of the DuPont family's fortune, but I believe that after knowing it, I will sigh at the luck and courage of the DuPont family.

The DuPont family in the United States has a history of more than 200 years, and has a longer history than the Rockefeller and Morgan families.

The DuPont family was originally a family of watchmakers in France. The first generation of Pierre DuPont relied on several articles with the idea of ​​agronomy to get in touch with Durgo, who later served as the financial director of Louis XVI, and was recommended to enter the Louis dynasty. At the end of the American Revolutionary War, Pierre participated in mediating the conflict between the United States and Britain as a member of the French delegation, met Jefferson, Franklin and others, and laid a connection for the family's entrepreneurship in the United States.

After the signing of the Peace Treaty of Paris, Pierre was named a noble by Louis XVI for his contribution to mediation. However, the bourgeois revolution that broke out soon caused the DuPont family to fall to the trough. In 1799, he was expelled from the government and was forced to conquer the United States. The son of DuPont, Al-DuPont, was born with love for reading and was deeply influenced by the famous chemist and Lavoisier, the director of the French Royal Pharmaceutical Factory, and learned the technology of producing pyropharmaceuticals through visits.

After coming to the United States, Aler found that the American pyropharmaceutical manufacturer was far behind France, and the pyropharmaceutical used by the army needed to be purchased from the UK at a high price, which made Aler determined to join the industry. In June 1802, DuPont pyropharmaceutical started construction on a farm on the bank of the Brandy River in Delaware. It was basically completed in February of the following year. The first batch of black pyropharmaceutical drugs were built in the spring of 1804. At that time, there were more than 200 pyropharmaceutical factories in the United States, but they were all small family workshops, and technically they could not compare with DuPont, which purchased advanced equipment from France. At this time, the old DuPont made contributions to the United States in the negotiations to purchase Louisiana and Napoleon, which made the United States buy 2.144 million square kilometers of vast land at a price of 3 cents per hectare, and the territory expanded more than twice.

In his handwritten letter to old DuPont, Jefferson said that this was a "deal deal for millions of unborn people". Seizing this opportunity, Aler immediately wrote a letter to Jefferson: "I ask you, the respected President, to take care of my DuPont company in Delaware." In 1804, DuPont's sales were $10,000, and increased to $33,000 in 1805 because in order to repel pirates, the hasty U.S. Navy destroyer placed an order for 22,000 pounds of black fire medicine at one time; on July 4 of that year, the Secretary of Operations of Jefferson's Government even announced that DuPont would contract all the fire medicines in the Government. In 1806, the sales were $32,000 and 1807. It was soon the largest production fire medicine factory in the United States.

In June 1812, on the eve of the Second War between the United States and Britain, the American Government ordered $215,000 in pyrodisiacs, and DuPont received $30,000 of them, ranking first in the country. During the war between 1812 and 1814, DuPont sold more than 1 million pounds of pyrodisiacs to the Government. But this did not satisfy DuPont because Jefferson had stepped down and the current President Madison had no relationship with the DuPont family, and due to the conflict with Napoleon, there was prejudice and discrimination against the factories opened by French immigrants. This made Aler understand that in order to make the company last for a long time, it was necessary to try to get the DuPont family or its agents into the Government and the army, not just begging for alms, but to "get in love with the Government" and then become part of the Government.

In 1820, Aler's brother Victor DuPont was elected to the Delaware House and entered the Senate in 182-0. This was the beginning of the DuPont family's intervention in politics. Victor's son Samuel Francis DuPont was promoted from a naval intern officer to an admiral, commanding a huge fleet of 75 warships and 25 army transport ships in the United States at that time. Needless to say, his fleet used all the DuPont family's fire medicine, and he even convinced the entire navy to use DuPont's products. 1857

In 2018, Samuel, who was still a colonel, commanded the most advanced US "Minnesota" to come to China on the occasion of the British and French coalition forces launching the second Arctic War. He entered the waters of Macau on the grounds of protecting American trade overseas and preventing the oppressed Chinese in Macau from damaging American investment. He occupied this port for more than a year and secretly carried out pirate plunder. In March 1858, Samuel led his fleet into the Chinese inland rivers, showing off his might on the Yangtze River, and rushing forward, leaving a disgrace in the history of American invasion of China.

By 1890, the DuPont family's pyrotechnic trust had monopolized 90% of the United States' explosives and 95% of the gunpowder production. At this time, DuPont Company planned to form a new large company with concessions, but was banned by the Delaware Constitution. At the proposal of the DuPont family, the state legislature began to formulate a new constitution, which fully realized the DuPont family's wishes.

From this you can see the luck and courage of the DuPont family. However, in the 19th century, Rockefeller and the Morgan family did not have the current power, and at that time it could only be regarded as a battle for hegemony among the princes.

The DuPont family has always been responsible for the US arms business, and nearly 90% of the US arms business will be taken over by it. Because of this, the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family have always been good partners, which has also caused the DuPont family to remain so strong after World War II.

In addition, in this hall, there are representatives of the Mellon family.

Everyone may be more unfamiliar with the Mellon family, but when it comes to Amco Steel, I believe everyone will know that this company is occupied by the Mellon family, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family.

Before 1930, the Mellon family could be said to be the representative of the American family.

The history of the Mellon family is not as long as the DuPont family, and it has only been more than 100 years. However, the Mellon family has manipulated hundreds of large companies in the United States, including finance, aluminum, oil, coal mines, shipbuilding, steelmaking and other industries. Take Mellon Bank as an example, its assets are as high as US$30 billion, making it one of the 25 strongest banks in the United States. The founder of the Mellon family, Thomas Mellon, was a contemporary figure with Rockefeller and other people. By the time of Andrew Mellon, he served as the American Finance Department.

The Secretary of State made the family shine. On October 24, 1929, the biggest economic crisis in capitalist history broke out in the United States. Within a week, Americans lost $10 billion in wealth on the stock exchange. In order to destroy the "surplus" of products, farmers poured milk into the Mississippi River. At that time, a nursery rhyme was popular in New York: "Mellon rings the whistle, Hoover rings the bell. Wall Street sends a signal, the United States rushed to hell!" It can be seen that the Mellon family's influence on the United States at that time.

The Mellon family is also the central family of the Mellon Consortium, and the Mellon National Bank controlled by the Mellon Consortium is also the financial pillar on which the Mellon Consortium started.

In fact, not only the Mellon family, but also the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family have their own banks. Needless to say, the Federal Reserve, which is jointly controlled by Rockefeller and the Morgan family, controls the issuance of US dollars, while the Rockefeller family's Citibank is Citibank, known as the No. 1 bank in the United States.

Lin Yu vaguely remembers that he had read an article written by David Rockefeller in his previous life. The general meaning is that people all think that Chase Bank is the family bank of the Rockefeller family, but the truth is not the case. Although the Rockefeller family has had some strong relationships with Chase for many years, Citibank is the "family bank" of the Rockefeller family.

Lin Yu has always wanted to have his own bank, but he has never had the opportunity and time. He originally planned to deal with this matter after the British strike, but at this time Lin Yu was a little worried. Banks of all sizes in the world are basically all have their own things, and if they move, they may have a chain reaction. For Lin Yu now, many forces still cannot afford to offend him for the time being.

However, banks must set up one, and they cannot be weak, otherwise they will not be economically irrelevant in the future, and there will be no difference between having and having.

After chatting with Lin Yu for a while, Soros took Lin Yu to get to know the people who came here one by one. After introducing them one by one, Lin Yu realized how big the people here are.
