Chapter 211: The Rockefeller Past(1/3)
In fact, Sean doesn't expect this bill to make him much more money. Firstly, it is impossible for all the fees collected to go to Sean. The government will definitely get a share of the pie. Secondly, this will happen soon.
I won't charge a high price either.
After all, they are taking money from the wealthy gentry.
The main thing that Sean likes is free. Of course, he doesn't mind if he can earn a little more.
After getting this done, there are still some troubles ahead.
When Sean returned to Newark, he contacted his cheap brother Hayden.
When we arrived at the Peace Hotel by car, Hayden had actually stayed at the Peace Hotel for half a month. This was something Sean didn't expect.
Sure enough, LSP is the ultimate driving force for the progress of human society.
When he saw Hayden, Sean was startled and took him away without saying a word.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Hayden struggled a few times with a confused look on his face.
"I said, have you looked in the mirror recently? You're going to be fucked dry!" Sean said with a dark face, pointing at Hayden's thick dark circles.
"Really? I don't feel it!" Hayden, who was forced into the car by Sean, raised his hand and touched his face and said, "I just feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep recently."
"But just smoke a few leaves and it will be fine!"
Sean rolled his eyes, "Help me up, I can still fuck you, right?"
Hayden pushed Sean with his shoulder and said with a chuckle: "Don't say that, actually, you don't have to get up, just lie in bed and enjoy it."
"Don't tell me, you have so many beauties here with so many tricks." Hayden clicked his tongue.
In one sentence, Sean didn't know what to say.
I take it as a compliment!
However, there are indeed many varieties.
These are the essences collected by a reborn person who wishes to remain anonymous for decades.
Cultural essence!
For example, the "Spiral Lotus Sitting" move is based on the ordinary lotus and is combined with high-altitude hanging rings to perform rotating exercises.
sit.
Wow!!
Of course, there are also ones suitable for female customers.
After all, Sean is a staunch egalitarian, so how could he not consider the feelings of female customers?
Ahem, Sean didn't send Hayden directly to recuperate, but instead pulled him to talk about his own affairs.
"You want to buy technology patents from the family?" Hayden blinked, and he suddenly sobered up. "What kind of technology patents?"
"It's not an important patent, it's part of the patent for electric furnace steelmaking. I want to build a steelmaking plant that uses electric furnaces to refine scrap steel," Sean said.
"Is that so? Why don't you contact him yourself? The family has shares in many steel plants, and this is not a particularly advanced technology." Hayden's body slumped again after he had just sat upright.
"I have almost no contact with the family. I don't even know who to f**k with, damn it." Sean cursed.
Of course, this is not a matter of the Rockefeller family. It is Sean himself who has never visited the family elders. He has not even visited the family foundation even once.
Ha, Hayden laughed, but he could also understand that Sean's achievements today were all his own...
He, tui!
It was shot with one shot!
Sean is quite arrogant at heart, and he is still an illegitimate son of the family, so it is normal for him to be a little awkward.
The family has been developing for hundreds of years, and this is not the first time this has happened.
Of course, for someone as awesome as Sean, he is really the first one.
"Tomorrow, I'll contact you, that's it, haha." Hayden opened his mouth and let out a big sigh of relief, and said without saying a word: "Find me a room, I have to take a nap, and suddenly I feel so sleepy."
"Fake." Sean cursed, waved his hand and asked the servant to take Hayden to the guest room upstairs.
The more they get to know each other and the more familiar they are, the more Sean discovers that these second- and third-generation super people who he once regarded as superior are all so lazy in reality.
It wasn't until noon the next day, after a full day's sleep, that Hayden got up and went downstairs.
Without the little goblin around, people feel a lot more energetic.
It's just that I don't have time to get down to business today...
After eating a tonic that Sean asked the chef to make, Hayden lay lazily on the lounge chair next to the swimming pool, sipping juice and telling Sean some family gossip secrets.
Sean thought that big foreign families with a long history had very advanced methods in setting up family funds and so on, so there would be no internal strife.
In fact, the situation was far beyond his expectation.
Shout out, Sean's ears pricked up.
Gossip is the spiritual necessity of this era.
"I'm telling you, the third generation of David Rockefeller is now in charge of the family."
Sean's mind turned around and he realized that this was Rockefeller Jr.'s youngest son, the youngest son of the third generation.
(PS: Rockefeller family genealogy: First generation: John D. Rockefeller I, second generation: John D. Rockefeller II, three generations and five brothers: the eldest, John D. Rockefeller, the second, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller
, the third child is Lawrence Rockefeller, the fourth child is Winthrop Rockefeller, and the fifth child is also the third generation: David Rockefeller)
"Our grandfather is the fourth of the third generation and the earliest to pass away. Grandpa David, who is now in charge of the family, does not have a good relationship with our family."
Sean's mouth twitched, "Why is the relationship so bad!?"
It turns out that after the death of the second generation John D. Rockefeller II, the family should theoretically be handed over to the third generation eldest brother, John D. Rockefeller III Jr.
However, John Rockefeller III Jr. was not as capable as his younger brothers.
Among them, the second brother is Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. After graduating 30 years ago, he worked in the family business at the age of 22, became a director at the age of 25, and entered the government at the age of 32, serving as the mediator for American affairs in the State Department.
At the age of 36, he was promoted to Assistant Secretary of State for American Affairs.
At the age of 42, he served as chairman of the Truman Administration's International Development Advisory Committee.
At the age of 44, he served as Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in the Eisenhower Administration.
At the age of 50, he successfully ran for governor of New York State and served as governor of New York State for four terms until 1973.
Served as Vice President of the United States from 1974 to 1977 and leader of the moderate faction of the Elephant Party.
This is a ruthless man. After unexpectedly losing the party nomination to Nixon in the 1968 election, who had long retired from politics, he sent his confidant Kissinger to the White House. Later, he used the Watergate incident to finally avenge himself.
Nixon was ousted.
After serving one term as vice president in the weak Ford administration, Kissinger was now secretary of state.
In his later years, he became dissolute and died in the office after indulgence.
In 1960, after the death of John D. Rockefeller, this man wanted to use his power to control the family power, but the eldest son of the third generation, John D. Rockefeller Jr., refused to do so, and the two continued to fight over family affairs.
It is said that the reason why Nelson lost the party nomination to Nixon was due to Little John's handiwork.
In the end, John Jr., with the help of his third brother Lawrence Rockefeller and fifth brother David Rockefeller, wrested Nelson's family power back from Nelson.
In his later years, Nelson retired from the position of vice president at the age of 69. The family power was gone, and his political career was over. Nelson, who could not accept it for a while, indulged in indulgence. Finally, at the age of 71, he died on a woman's belly in the office.
.
A generation of werewolves!
Of course, John Jr., who defeated his second brother Nelson, failed to take control of the family power. The third brother, Lawrence Rockefeller, inherited his father's business acumen. In 1937, he inherited the New York Stock Exchange that he had bought in a generation and was the father of venture capital.
.
The fifth brother, David Rockefeller, who is now the controller of the family, is even more powerful. This person has controlled the road of 'gou' and successfully laughed in the struggle between the eldest and the second.
Most of his political legacy is that as the president of the Bank of Manhattan, although he did not directly participate in politics, he supported many politicians behind the scenes and participated in many political decisions.
Sean and Hayden's grandfather, Winthrop D. Rockefeller, was the fourth child in the family.
This guy is amazing, he once served as the governor of Arkansas!
Yes, it’s the same as Zipperton, both are Aken and color.
Unlike the fifth child, success has the last laugh in the struggle between the eldest and the second child.
The fourth child has a very good relationship with the second child, Nelson. They both follow the political line and side with Nelson in the struggle. In the end, success lies in the struggle between the eldest child and the second child.
Beaten to death...
He was the oldest of the five brothers to die.
As for abilities...the difference between governors may be greater than the difference between humans and dogs.
Therefore, Sean's branch does not hold much power in the family business, and its relationship with the current three-generation head branch is also very average.
The distance is too far, uncle and grandpa.
If the split of Rockefeller was the beginning of the decline of the Rockefeller family, then this family power struggle is the starting point of the family's second decline.
To be continued...
