#601 - Attend a banquet
Inside the car,
Old Master Cao chuckled upon hearing Lu Haifeng's inquiry!
"It's all just exaggerated rumors!"
"Actually, in the United States, although there are many consortiums, they are just interest groups that have come together!"
"For example, the legendary Rothschild family, the Morgan family, and so on, they don't have the exaggerated wealth that's rumored!"
"However, although they are not as exaggerated as the outside world claims, these families have an influence that ordinary people cannot compare to!"
Speaking of this, Old Master Cao briefly introduced Lu Haifeng to the big consortium families he knew!
"For example, the Rothschild family you mentioned, their biggest asset is controlling shares in the Federal Reserve!"
"They also own shares in many banks, and their family has a very strong influence and appeal in the financial industry!"
"As for the Morgan family, although they also have a lot of say in the financial field, their focus is more on heavy industry, military industry, and electrical manufacturing!"
"For example, in the automotive industry you are familiar with, General Motors is big enough, right? It's the largest car company in the United States!"
"The Morgan family holds a portion of General Motors' shares and is considered one of the major shareholders!"
"In addition, the Morgan family's biggest pillar is Lockheed Martin!"
"Lockheed Martin is the largest arms group in the United States, and the Morgan family is behind it!"
"As for other consortiums, I'm not very familiar with them!"
"Because these families or consortiums are usually very low-key!"
"Unless you are a core member, no one knows how much money they have!"
"But I'm sure they are definitely not as exaggerated as the outside world claims!"
So, the Morgan family is actually one of General Motors' major shareholders. This was the first time Lu Haifeng had heard of this!
Now, in Lu Haifeng's opinion, the most impressive consortium in the United States is the Rothschild family!
This is a family that can influence the Federal Reserve!
What is the Federal Reserve? That is a national banking institution in the United States with a huge influence all over the world!
It is equivalent to the status of the head office of the People's Bank of China in Daxia!
It is the behind-the-scenes super boss who creates the rules of the capital market game. Every time the Federal Reserve adjusts interest rates, it will have a great impact on the world's monetary funds!
However, compared to that, the Morgan family is not bad at all!
The Morgan family has Lockheed Martin, a leader in the global military industry!
In Lu Haifeng's view, this kind of enterprise is equivalent to the prototype of Tony Stark's Stark Industries Group in the Marvel universe!
Now you can imagine how rich these families are!
In the United States, besides these two families, the most famous is the Rockefeller family!
Even if Old Master Cao didn't mention this family, Lu Haifeng would have known about it!
The world's largest non-government-controlled oil and gas company, ExxonMobil, is the family's industry!
This is an oil and gas giant!
"The person I'm taking you to meet today is a branch controller of the Morgan family!"
"I've known him for many years, and it was he who used his power to help me solve those ungrateful people!"
A branch controller of the Morgan family!
Lu Haifeng didn't expect that Old Master Cao actually knew such a big shot!
To be able to become a branch controller of such a large family like the Morgans!
He must have a great influence within the entire family!
Just as he was thinking, the vehicle Lu Haifeng and the others were riding in arrived at the entrance of Bruce Morgan's manor!
Upon arriving at the entrance, armed security guards immediately stopped the vehicle!
"Sir, please show your invitation!"
The guns in the hands of these security guards were real, and they were all the most advanced firearms in the United States!
Moreover, there were quite a few of these security guards.
Seeing this situation, Old Master Cao's driver immediately handed the invitation to the security guard!
After the security guard glanced at it, he nodded and said, "Mr. Cao, please come in!"
After entering the gate, they drove for a while before finally arriving at the huge private villa!
This villa was different from the castle of Hilton Fass that Lu Haifeng had visited.
Bruce Morgan's villa was a very large villa!
In front of the villa, there was a large lawn, a huge fountain, and a swimming pool!
At this time, many people had already gathered on the lawn, and it seemed that they were all here to attend the party tonight!
The car Lu Haifeng and the others were riding in stopped at the entrance. When the two of them got out of the car, many people looked over at them!
Obviously, many people knew Old Master Cao and greeted him one after another!
"Old Mr. Cao is here, haha..."
"Respected Mr. Cao, long time no see!"
"Cao, your body is still so strong!"
Several people who obviously knew Old Master Cao came up to greet him!
Old Master Cao responded one by one, hugging and joking with the other party.
Finally, those people turned their attention to Lu Haifeng!
"Hey... Cao, who is this young man?"
"Cao, could he be your grandson?"
"Cao, are you bringing an heir to see the world today?"
Lu Haifeng's age was there, plus he came with Old Master Cao, so it was inevitable that people would misunderstand him as Old Master Cao's grandson!
Hearing their words, Old Master Cao laughed, shook his head, and nodded!
"This child next to me, although he is not my biological grandson!"
"However, his elders and I have had a life-or-death friendship!"
"But..."
Speaking of this, Old Master Cao proudly introduced Lu Haifeng to several people!
"This young man is not here to see the world, but a distinguished guest invited by Mr. Bruce Morgan!"
"He is the world's youngest billionaire, the chairman of Audi Motors and Huaxing Technology, Lu Haifeng!"
Wow!
As soon as Old Master Cao's voice fell, the expressions of the surrounding people clearly changed!
Audi Motors' reputation in the United States has been very high these days!
And in last year's Forbes global rich list, Lu Haifeng truly earned the title of the world's youngest billionaire!
"As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover. Mr. Lu has achieved such great abilities at such a young age, which is admirable!"
"Mr. Lu, hello, my name is Jonathan Clark, the CEO of XX Group!"
"Mr. Lu, hello, my name is Donald Smith, the president of XX Company!"
"My name is McKensey Nathan. Speaking of which, we are in the same industry. I am the head of automobile manufacturing at General Motors!"
The people who greeted Lu Haifeng were either the president or manager of a certain company or group!
