Seven Hundred and Two, King of Uptown

702. King of Uptown

When talking about the Harden family, the first thing that comes to mind is the so-called largest telescope in the world. Yes, that is the masterpiece of their family members. However, in the eyes of the American consortium, the most terrifying thing about the Harden family is that they were once the emperors of Uptown. .

Although the history of the United States is very short, there is one family that none of the four major financial groups dare to easily provoke.

That is the Harden family. Legend has it that their ancestor Harden Baring was one of the first people to come to the United States on the April Flower. Unlike other people, Harden Baring was a noble in England at the time.

No one knows why the Hard family was willing to give up their fiefdom in England and run to a new continent, but their strength should not be underestimated.

At that time, Bahrain not only took away a large number of skilled craftsmen but also brought steel smelting technology. The first steel smelting plant in the United States belonged to their family.

Later, the Harden family even served as the first Federal Reserve issuer. It can be said that the power to print money at that time was in the hands of the Harden family.

When the North-South conflict broke out in the United States, those who participated in the war suffered heavy losses. Only the Harden family, which controlled steel and money printing, remained unscathed and even built the most luxurious villa complex at the time.

That is to say, in the current upper town of Manhattan, even the people who live in the old villas in the upper town are not easy to provoke.

Later, the Harden family began to design the field of technology, and its opponents' rights began to gradually relax, which led to the rise of Rothschild and the other four major consortiums.

If you really think about it, the Harden family is the largest financial group in the history of the United States. However, this family is very mysterious. From the beginning when the nobles gave up their fiefdoms and came to the United States, to later developing smelters and taking over the right to print money, this family seemed to be not interested in anything.

It wasn't until they came into contact with science that the people in this family began to retreat and slowly develop towards science.

Almost all pharmaceutical companies in the United States, including scientific research companies, have a presence in the Harden family. It is said that the United States' first moon landing program was also secretly invested by their family.

The subsequent weapons research and development companies basically have their presence in them. The reason why JA feels that the name Harden is very familiar is because the Harden family was the largest supplier of American equipment at the time.

Oh my god, there is such a big fish? Zhou Xu was shocked. He had been in the United States for a while, and he had never heard of such a thing.

JA shook his head and said solemnly: It's normal. People from this family rarely show up. Except for some scientific research exchange meetings, most of the business matters are handled by their agents. We are familiar with the largest Ajie Department Store. The shareholders are the Harden family.”

Tsk, tsk, it seems that the other party's background is really not simple. Zhou Xu smiled after hearing what JA said.

JA sighed: The Harden family has been good at using mercenaries before. It was their suggestion to recruit local indigenous people to join in the first place. However, people in their own family value bloodline very much, even to a bit extreme.

This is funny, recommending foreigners to join and at the same time looking down on them. Zhou Xu was very amused by the Harden family's arrogant and incompetent behavior.

JA said disdainfully: They like this, looking like a savior, but the dirty work they do secretly seems to have nothing to do with them.

But what I'm curious about is why the other consortiums have always left him alone? Zhou Xu was very puzzled by this.

It stands to reason that the Harden family is a bit of a big deal.

Although they have slowly begun to transform behind the scenes, the resources in their hands still make the four major consortiums very jealous.

Apart from anything else, based on the prestige of Uptown alone, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, the four major consortiums plus Rothschild are no match for the Harden family.

JA explained: It's not that they don't want to do it, it's that they can't do it.

Oh? What do you mean? Zhou Xu asked.

You'll know after you look at this. After saying that, JA took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it over.

Zhou Xu took the book, opened it, and flipped through it. The further he went, the deeper his frown deepened. Finally, he sighed and said, It's no wonder they don't dare to take action.

After reading the information in it, Zhou Xu understood why the four major financial groups and Rothschild did not dare to take action. What was recorded in the book were some of the current faced members of the Harden family.

From a normal perspective, these people are insignificant existences, and their careers and positions are not very eye-catching existences.

But if this group of people all unite, the United States will probably face another battle between the north and the south, which will be even bloodier than the previous one.

The people on this list can be said to range from education to military, even some technicians and members of some associations. If they are in chaos, it means that the United States is completely in chaos.

Their power is no less than that of Texas grabbing territory from Mexico. And these people are not mere commanders, they have the financial support of the Harden family.

Therefore, even Rothschild at his peak did not dare to do anything to the Harden family, because when Rothschild dominated the United States, the power to print money was still in the hands of the Harden family.

Even if the Harden family hands over control of the federal savings later, the four major financial groups that have come to power will not dare to take any action against the Harden family.

Because at that time, they controlled more than 30% of at least half of the important companies in the United States. You can only imagine how awesome the Harden family is.

Later, in order to reduce their dependence on the Harden family in the United States, the four major consortiums slowly began to transfer some enterprises out through capital means, thus avoiding the Harden family's absolute control.

Despite this, they still dare not conflict with the Harden family now, because the Harden family is too low-key now and they are neutral. If they are provoked, it will not be good for everyone.

That's why the Harden family has been able to occupy the bank town for so many years and no one dares to touch them. After Rothschild's defeat, they came to Europe and found that the Harden family seemed not to be simple.

Even in Europe, there are many industries of the Harden family. As they learned more about it, the Rothschilds sadly discovered that there seemed to be a mysterious organization behind this mysterious Harden family.

Therefore, the Rothschilds who returned to Europe also began to low-key, and they were always on guard against the Harden family.

It seems that we have found some clues. Zhou Xu looked at the information in his hand and smiled. He thought that Tang Wen would be very happy if he saw these things.
