Chapter 564: American Consortium

As the world's largest economy, the United States has developed to the highest stage of capitalist development, the monopoly capitalist empire described by Marx. Although the beauty has always claimed to be a paradise for free competition, she has always required other countries to implement a free trade system, and a large number of anti-monopoly laws have been issued in China, which has been extremely severely cracking down on monopoly organizations. However, when it comes to the surface, monopoly phenomena are everywhere in many economic fields of the United States, and large monopoly groups can control the internal affairs and diplomacy of the United States. Among these groups hidden behind the scenes, the most well-known of the top ten consortiums in the United States are the top ten consortiums in the United States.

The top ten consortiums are the Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, First Citibank Consortium, DuPont Consortium, Boston Consortium, Mellon Consortium, Cleveland Consortium, Chicago Consortium, California Consortium and Texas Consortium. Among them are many well-known qualifications like Rockefeller and Morgan who have not declined for a century, as well as the California and Texas Consortium that rose with the development of emerging industries after World War II.

But these ten consortiums all have one similarity, that is, they almost include the most important major U.S. military industry, finance, petrochemical and other large enterprises with high strategic foundations. Although the organizational structure of the U.S. consortium is very loose compared to the Japanese consortium's hierarchy and close relationship, due to the strong economic strength of the United States, these ten consortiums can still mobilize astronomical working capital to make various commercial investments in a short period of time. No one dares to underestimate this huge strength.

The old man in the conversation just now was Dylan Morgan, the contemporary ruler of the Morgan family, and the middle-aged man was the Frank Mellon family with the most potential to run for the next head of the family. The Morgan family is famous all over the world, and the most dazzling achievement is John Pierpont Morgan (Old Morgan) who once saved the financial crisis in the United States in 1907 with his own strength.

At that time, Wall Street was in a crisis of chain bankruptcy of trust companies, and was about to affect the entire Western world and became the fuse of World War I. It was not that Morgan, who controlled 30% of the American finance power, personally came forward and organized an alliance of Wall Street bosses to endure the crisis. I am afraid that the Great Depression in the United States in the 1930s would break out early.

As for the Mellon family, as long as they understand their strength, no one can ignore them anymore. Because according to a very inaccurate statistical result, the Mellon family's wealth exceeds that of Rockefeller and DuPont, and they can definitely squeeze into the top five among the top ten consortiums in the United States!

Moreover, the Mellon family has a long history. Although it is not as abnormal as the Japanese King Kong Group, it has been a family that has lasted for more than a hundred years. Its companies are all inclusive and owns the controlling stakes of hundreds of time-honored companies. Like Alcoa, Goodyear Tires and Rockwell (American Military Industry Company), are all frequent visitors in the world's top 500, so this family is definitely a big shark in the vast ocean of business.

Yang Xing didn't know that he was targeted by such a huge two American consortiums. An invisible net was covering him and his company. He was happily scrutinizing the results in his hands. He had received strong support from the central government and Hong Kong government, and he also raised funds from the billion-dollar mark from the Chinese rich in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia by selling some of the company's shares.

In addition, in Europe, the behind-the-scenes matchmaking of Rothschild's European stealth rich family has reached investment agreements with many European investors and is moving quickly towards the predetermined goal. The snowball effect of wealth makes the bigger the snowball more attractive to hedge funds and other institutions in the international financial market. Qian Yiming's proposal to use financial derivatives to attract money is greater, and the remaining 200 billion US dollars seems to be in the forefront.

Under such circumstances, he thought that the United States had noticed and avoided it. Although Morgan and Mellon Consortium in the United States were suspicious of Yang Xing, they did not focus on Yang Xing's $300 billion plan. After all, there are not too many ambitious guys in the world like Yang Xing. Even if the American consortium is rich and powerful, it is impossible to monitor the world in all corners. Therefore, although there is a warning from the CIA's analysis report, the main brain of Morgan and Mellon Consortium was to put more extra attention to Yang Xing and do some tricks in his business, and did not take him too seriously.

Moreover, even if Yang Xing knew that he was staring at the cliff and stopped, he could not do it. After 2001, the accumulated problems in the US economy continued to grow, and the decline in economic growth was becoming more and more obvious. Even if Yang Xing did not show his disapproval of the US economy, many eye-catching investors would bet on the chance of a collapse of the US economy. Yang Xing took the lead in looking down on the US economy at this time and was already tied up with a train of unbranched chariots. Even if the top ten consortiums in the United States joined together, he could only grit the bullet to fight to the end.

From the second half of 2000 to the first half of 2001, in addition to the collapse of Internet companies across the board, financial companies that fueled the Internet bubble also suffered heavy losses. In addition to the small number of Wall Street masters who followed Yang Xing and others to take advantage of the situation, most American banks' profits fell sharply, and the bank's bad debt ratio rose sharply. Many famous investment banks declared bankruptcy and spread the bankruptcy trend to industrial enterprises.

Since the second half of 2000, the fixed capital investment in enterprises counted in the United States has dropped sharply, and fixed capital investment is a necessary condition for enterprises to expand reproduction. The decline in this figure indicates that the productivity of American companies is declining. It is particularly worth noting that the investment in high-tech equipment has declined sharply since the second quarter of 2000 and has declined by 60 in the second quarter of 2001!

High-tech technology has always been the most proud capital for Americans. Its R&D and production are inseparable from the support of venture capital. Now its sharp decline in demand has also caused a sharp decline in venture capital. This in turn has caused a huge suppression of the R&D and production of high-tech. It has formed a vicious cycle, which is reflected in the US stock market. Now all the stocks of companies related to high-tech are in a slump, but the stocks of companies with resources and basic industrial products are sought after.

If the American consortium knew Yang Xing’s entire plan, he knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to take the lead and ensure that they would do their best to attack this hateful guy. Unfortunately, history is always full of uncertain factors, and Yang Xing, who can predict the future, will undoubtedly be favored by the goddess of fate.

April 1, 2001 is the popular "Aprils' Day" in the West, but the big thing about to happen today is definitely a fierce thing that no one can laugh out loud. As Yang Xing, who had long "foreseeed" this incident and his personal participants, was naturally unwilling to be absent and made a special trip back to Hainan Province, China from Europe.

On the surface, he had a very good reason to rush back. He wanted to personally start the ribbon cutting for several major projects in Hainan. Because the central government had officially approved the project approval of Zhongxing International for the construction of ports in Haixi Province and Hainan, the construction of the two major ports of Sanduao and Yangshan will soon be started.

Hainan Province has intensively reported a long list of projects to close the construction of "International Tourism Island" by the central government, which has also received support from the highest leadership. CCTV also broadcasts a series of reports on this, which clearly set off a nationwide discussion on deepening reform and where to go. In this way, Hainan, as the pioneer of reform, has already decided to pilot the "International Tourism Island" plan with the characteristics of a free trade zone. Zhongxing International, as the initiator of the plan, is naturally a step ahead and is eager to promote the implementation of a large number of projects in Hainan.

As the boss of Zhongxing International, Yang Xing first came back to cut the ribbon for Sanduao Port in Haixi Province. The focus of the next trip was naturally to Hainan. He watched the survey of the Qionghai Cross-Sea Bridge one after another; Yangshan Port personally laid the foundation for the "Nanhai Xingcheng City", the group's sixth largest industrial park, which was set up in the port area, to lay the foundation for the "Nanhai Xingcheng City", and joined hands with the president of CNOOC to press the button of a deep water explosion for the Yangshan Port National Oil Reserve and the oil terminal, which marked the deepening of cooperation between the two sides.

As the lead underwriter of CNOOC's second overseas listing, Xingfu Investment is highly appreciated by CNOOC. Although it only took a few months, overseas investors' views on CNOOC have turned 180 degrees. Due to the strong publicity and the stocks of international crude oil resource companies are sought after, CNOOC's stock price rose by 50% on the day of issuance, exceeding everyone's expectations. Compared with the miserable situation of giving up listing after failure in roadshow, it is a world of difference.

The leaders in charge of stock listing of CNOOC all felt in their dreams. Although this was inseparable from the help of Yang Xing, the rebirth person, Xingfu Investment has done a lot of meticulous work for this, especially the practice of decreasing CNOOC's offshore oil mining franchise and actively emphasizing its own performance is a decisive move.

After this cooperation, CNOOC has increased its favorability for CNX International, and its cooperation with Xingwei Resources will naturally come naturally. Especially in Yang Xing's dedicated efforts to promote the construction of privatization strategic oil reserves and South China Sea oil exploration, CNOOC has expressed strong interest. In addition to the cooperation in the construction of oil terminals and petrochemical enterprises in Yangshan and Sanduao, it is also considering cooperation with foreign powerful oil companies to introduce and absorb deep-sea oil exploration and drilling technology, and plant the Chinese flag on the deep-sea drilling platform in the South China Sea as soon as possible.

The construction of ports and the launch of the Petrochemical Project are large projects that span a span of more than ten years. Yang Xing, the head of the company, came here in person, reflecting his attention to the big projects. Of course, others could not find any flaws. Only Yang Xing himself and a few confidants around him knew that Yang Xing was a trick to hide the truth. He also shouldered a more top-secret task during this trip, which was to provoke an armed conflict between the two major countries!
