Chapter 367 The power of unity
He said he wanted to "educate" Lidya, but he also needed to appease his sister first.
It can be seen that Amanda has also accumulated enough enthusiasm. When she entered the bedroom, she couldn't wait to hug Barron and gave him a sweet kiss...
Unfortunately, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and Amanda still lacks the ability to learn knowledge, or she still does not have the patience to persevere in learning, which can be regarded as a "three-minute fever."
Yes, soon she could no longer keep up with Barron's study progress, and finally fell asleep in a daze...
Alas, good students always need to study secretly when others are resting...
So Barron could only go to Lydia and continue tutoring her...
…
Just two days passed, and the Hester sisters finally looked much better.
Barron, on the afternoon of this day, took a car to Long Island near New York.
The convoy entered a manor. At the gate of the manor, Barron's bodyguards and vehicles were searched. For this, he had already prepared for it and asked his security captain to temporarily store the weapons here.
After the vehicle continued to move forward for nearly ten minutes, a quaint wooden villa suddenly opened up in front of them.
"Welcome, Your Highness the Duke."
In front of the villa, a young man in a suit and leather tie with meticulous appearance who looked less than thirty years old was waiting there. After Barron got off the car, he politely said to him:
"I am Mark Rossi, Mr. Bogle's assistant. Bogle is waiting for you inside."
Under the guidance of Mark Rossi, Barron came to the reception room of the villa, where he met a silver-haired, energetic old man. He was also introduced by Lloyd, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, to the financial boss who came to visit today—— John Bogle.
As we all know, the two-headed eagles that rule the United States behind the scenes are the Anglo-Saxon Group and the Jewish Consortium.
Goldman Sachs Group is often classified as a member of the Jewish consortium because Marcus Goldman, the founder of Goldman Sachs Group, is a Jew.
Marcus Goldman's daughter married Samuel Sachs, a Jew who also became a partner in the firm that became Goldman Sachs, which was renamed Goldman and Sachs.
The relationship between the two families has always been very good, and the eldest son of the Sachs family, Julius, later married the daughter of the Goldman family, Rosa, and they got married. In 1888, the company was renamed Goldman Sachs again, which is the Goldman Sachs we know today. Group (Goldman, Saches \u0026 Co.).
Over the next 50 years, the company's partners were almost always married to two families, and all Goldman Sachs' business was carried out with the unanimous consent of the two partners.
However, after many crises and a century of development, the Goldman and Sachs families have very little shareholding in Goldman Sachs Group, and they have long ceased to participate in the management of the group.
Currently, the top three shareholders of Goldman Sachs Group are Vanguard Group (also known as Vanguard Group), BlackRock Group and State Street Group.
Vanguard Group itself is the major shareholder of BlackRock Group and State Street Group...
Therefore, it can be said that the person behind Goldman Sachs Group is the Vanguard Group.
At this time, Barron's current old man named John Bogle was the founder of the Pilot Group.
And what is the background of Linghang Group?
John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group, is known as the father of index funds and is Buffett’s idol.
Vanguard Group was founded in 1974, and its predecessor, Wellington Fund, was established in 1929 - the original founder of Wellington Fund, Walter Morgan, well, this last name is very familiar to people.
The two major families in the United States are known as the two poles of the Anglo-Saxon Group, namely the Rockefeller Group and the Morgan Group.
Therefore, the current Goldman Sachs Group has a strong presence of the Morgan consortium behind it.
This is why this time when he came to New York, the big man introduced to him by Lloyd, CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, was John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group.
"Although I have met many young people with amazing talents in the past few decades, I have to admit that you are one of the most impressive."
After the pleasantries were exchanged, Bogle was effusive in his praise for Barron.
Barron didn't know how many compliments he had heard before, but now the people who said them carried more weight.
He smiled and said:
"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Bogle. Although I seem to be doing pretty well now, I still have many life lessons to learn from you."
"If you can give me any advice on life, Your Highness, with all due respect, it's the same words..."
Bogle looked directly into Barron's eyes, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly:
"As I said just now, I have seen countless people who showed great investment talent at a young age. Your Highness, the Duke, you are one of the best among them, but you are not without performance that is better than yours." , and amazing... Frankly speaking, most of them are not as noble as you, but you know what?"
Sighing, Bogle continued:
"But often the more amazingly talented young people are, the shorter they can survive in the market. On the contrary, the ones who ultimately achieve long-term success are those who are far less talented, but have great perseverance..."
"I will take these words as your encouragement to me, Mr. Bogle."
Regarding what the other party said, Barron still looked normal and smiled.
Looking at the young Duke in front of him, John Bogle showed admiration at this time:
"What I want to say is that a person's ability and talent are indeed very enviable, but even those families that were once extremely glorious, how many can still survive and continue their glory? Just like It's the Goldman Sachs Group. If it had always been controlled by those two companies, it wouldn't be the size it is today. I'm afraid it would have been wiped out in 1929, or even earlier."
"The only thing that can allow everyone to maintain wealth and even continue to develop is unity, because you can't guarantee that you will always make the right judgment, or that your descendants can do the same, but you can believe in the collective wisdom that brings together countless elites. , and the huge energy after gathering more capital..."
Not surprisingly, Barron knew that when John Bogle talked about this, today's drama was about to come.
"I agree with what you said, Mr. Bogle, but first I want to know what kind of...'power of unity' you are describing?"
"It's too early to say, Your Highness the Duke. In fact, what I want to talk to you about today is cooperation, between Pilot Group and your DS Capital, as well as... other companies including Rich23 Capital and West Africa Group. In short, that is With you and your family, we can have more cooperation and understand each other better, or deepen it through continuous cooperation, which will be easier for people to accept, isn't it?"
After Bogle finished speaking, Barron's pupils narrowed slightly, but quickly returned to their original state...
Bogle's words clearly revealed that even though Barron's used many offshore companies to cover up, even if companies like Rich23 Capital and West Africa Group had nothing to do with Barron's on the surface, these The situation was already known to Bogle, or it could be said that they analyzed and guessed it to a close.
After all, even with these cover-ups, even if there have been dizzying repeated flows of funds, as long as you have enough patience and enough resources, you can still clear away some of the clouds - not to mention this. Many of the methods are probably used by the Goldman Sachs Group, Vanguard Group and even the Morgan Consortium...
At the same time, Barron also understood that Bogle chose this time to break through Barron's "disguise". In addition to being a bit of a knock, it also showed him their strength.
"So, what does the cooperation you are talking about include?"
Barron's smile was very sincere and very approachable, and he asked candidly.
