Chapter 302 The Present, Whiston Anne
"Miss, I'm very surprised that George has an advantage in the general election. As long as he works hard to maintain it, he should be the president. △¢But I can't figure out why he gave up at this time. ?”
For some of the inside story, the old housekeeper Nord is not clear, so he has been unable to understand it.
On the contrary, Anne had some understanding of some of the inside stories, as well as some of Old George's own thoughts, so that the old butler would not be unable to figure it out.
But the old housekeeper couldn't figure it out, and Annie could understand it.
In fact, people who don't understand the inside story will not understand it.
So Annie explained to the old butler: "The Congress has passed the proposal to join the French-led South Vietnam War and at the same time gained control of the Panama Canal. The French have exchanged this interest for the support of the United States, but Uncle George and I are very concerned about this." Worry, because the French are doomed to lose in this war in Vietnam, and even the addition of the United States will not change the outcome."
The old housekeeper saw that the young lady told the inside story, while he himself stood quietly by the hospital bed and listened.
"The failure of a war will have a great impact on those in power. After all, as long as it is a war, people will die. When the number of dead soldiers reaches a certain level, it will have an impact on the domestic situation. You should understand that we What is the condition of the so-called 'freedom' in the United States."
The old butler Nord nodded silently, he had already begun to understand what Miss meant.
And Anne went on to say: "But there are not many people who judge like Uncle George and me. Those idiots in Congress, and some people in the radicals are optimistic that with the United States joining, the French will not be defeated in Vietnam. The unfavorable situation will be improved." Speaking of which, the corner of Annie's mouth curled up, showing a very disdainful look.
"In short, Uncle George has taken the position of president at this time, and he will definitely take the blame for this war in the future. So he doesn't want to be a target of blame, and if this war shows signs of unfavorable signs during his tenure as president, it will It will also have some impact on the future of George Jr., who has embarked on a career in politics."
As a qualified politician and father, Old George's consideration is not unreasonable, and it can even be said to be far-sighted.
At this time, the old housekeeper Nord was able to understand everything.
To be honest, as Miss Anne said, at this time old George's choice. Very sensible indeed.
If it were Nord himself, he would probably make the same choice.
Since old George thinks that the outcome of this war will be very bad, then let the optimistic person take the lead, and finally bear the big scapegoat.
However, since Old George is currently in a very favorable election situation, if he wants to withdraw, some forces will definitely have to offer a lot of benefits.
How to operate it depends on the ability of old George.
Of course, Anne is still very confident in Old George's ability.
She believed old George could handle it. At the same time, it is enough to seek enough benefits for himself and Annie.
"It is estimated that there will be news in the next few days. Uncle George has already started to take action, and is frequently in contact with Kenny, another dark horse in the general election. Now it depends on what conditions the other party can come up with."
The general election is now coming to an end.
There were two others who entered this stage as George Sr. did.
One is a member of the Kenny family of the four major arms companies in the United States, the other is a little-known character from the neutral faction, and Old George, who is the most vocal and most favorable in the current situation.
"Well, miss, I don't have to worry about anything now. After all, I don't know much about it, but now that I do, I have nothing to worry about."
The worried expression on the old butler Nord's face faded, replaced by a relaxed smile.
After the two talked about the old George, Nord mentioned some things about the Whiston family business to Anne.
"Miss, there is news from the UK and European countries that they have agreed to take over our business, and at the same time use their property and cash in the US to offset the price difference."
Annie, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded when she heard the words: "It's no problem, you can deal with it, but the price difference should be paid in gold as much as possible."
The old butler Nord nodded his head when he heard the words.
Since Annie left Kim Hyun-tae, she has been undergoing a transformation of the family business.
Because Annie feels that although the family business looks huge, it is too scattered and cannot form a force at all.
For this question, Annie herself has been troubled.
It's just because of some factors that Annie couldn't start such a change.
But it's different now. Anne has earned a huge amount of wealth through the "Plaza Accord", which makes her now have the ability to do what she has always wanted to do.
In addition, after Anne became pregnant, considering that she would need to spend more time with her children in the future, some adjustments had to be made in the family business.
At the same time, for the sake of herself and Kim Hyun-tae, she decided to increase her influence and voice in the United States.
Therefore, Annie decided to 'abandon' all European companies and enterprises in exchange for shares in some large companies in the United States, so as to increase her power in the United States.
In a few months in 2016, Anne has basically completed this matter now.
The Whiston family's business, in addition to leaving a bank in Switzerland, some companies have changed owners.
And Annie exchanged these profitable companies for the equity of some American companies, and even took over some companies with great development potential.
Anne is not an idiot, the companies she chooses are all based on industry.
Such as ports, shipbuilding, steel, chemical oil and so on.
In addition, she has sufficient funds, so once she takes shares in these industries, she will start to crowd out other shareholders, trying to let herself completely control the company and dominate the company as much as possible.
Today, Anne has mastered 76% of the ports in the United States, owns a large shipbuilding company, one of the two largest steel companies in the United States, and one of the three largest oil companies.
It seems that the Whiston family's business has decreased, but in fact the power capital has become stronger.
Of course, Annie did not give up the main banking business of the Whiston family, but she also sought another path.
What money can be made from lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, and more money can be made from lending to the country, isn't it?
Therefore, Annie alone has borne all the ten trillion US dollars of national debt issued by the United States.
The 30% annual interest rate is enough to ensure that Anne can make money, and at the same time, it can also give Annie a strong enough voice in the United States.
At the same time, Anne also got out of the quagmire of Europe, so as not to be dragged down in the future.
Since European countries began to join the French war in Vietnam, it can be predicted that the failure of this war in the future will definitely affect the European economy.
At that time, Annie's business in Europe will definitely be greatly impacted.
So getting out is also a good choice.
Anyway, Annie will naturally have a way to return to Europe at that time, and then reap greater benefits.
Now in the United States, the Whiston Bank controlled by Anne controls one of the four major arms companies, holds the most popular mobile phone development company in the world, the largest telecom operator on the West Coast, and is one of the largest companies in the United States in steel, shipbuilding, and oil. enterprise.
Not to mention that she also fully controls 76% of the port terminals, so Annie has basically become the most 'powerful' woman in the United States.
This is not counting the "Black Hole Investment" fund under Anne's name, the two financial institutions of Whiston Ventures, the ten trillion U.S. treasury bonds she holds, and the 8,000 tons of gold reserves she personally holds.
If all these are counted, Anne's wealth is unimaginable now.
In fact, even she herself can't believe what she has now.
You know, although the Whiston Bank in the past also had huge wealth, it is nothing compared to the present.
And all these changes began to appear after Kim Hyun-tae mentioned letting the yen appreciate.
It can be said that the current Anne has become a super rich in the true sense, and can have the same status as some people in the United States and even the world.
Of course, compared with those big chaebols, Anne still has a little gap.
But as long as time allows Annie to develop slowly, it will not be difficult for the Whiston family to become a chaebol in the future.
In this regard, Annie herself is full of confidence.
And since the center of gravity is in the United States, Annie doesn't need to go abroad often, as long as she stays in the United States with peace of mind.
And to deal with the affairs of the company under her name, leave it to the professional managers hired by the Whiston family, and she herself can take care of the children with peace of mind without being distracted by some things.
"Sam in Iraq sent word that he didn't have enough cash and asked if we could use oil to offset the weapons payment?"
The old housekeeper Nord mentioned the news from Iraq at this time.
That's right, Anne is still doing business with Iraq and Iran, and this business is to sell tanks to both parties, and the number of tanks provided in the contract with both parties is as high as 80,000.
It's clear how much money Annie will make and how much it will cost both Iraq and Iran.
But for Annie, who owns one of the four major arms companies in the United States, countries like Iraq and Iran are her favorites.
After thinking for a while, Annie said to the old housekeeper Nord: "Yes, send someone to Iraq to have a look. If possible, it would be good to ask Iraq to give us some oil fields. We must try our best to fight for this matter. Forget that I now own one of the three major oil companies in the United States, so I also need to have some oil fields in my hands, don't I?"
Hearing this, the old butler Nord smiled brightly.
"Good lady, I will send the best personnel to Iraq to try to complete this matter." (To be continued.)
