We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 345: Drive Rockefeller away? (page 12)
"Tell me, what is your purpose for spending so much time on it?"
As soon as Nancy Dick put down the phone, Luo Nianzhong asked the question in his mind.
He knew that this woman and the Anschutz family, which was too low-key, would not be a simple cooperation, otherwise there would be no need to test his strength and connections.
Nancy did not answer Luo Nianzhong directly but asked a question. “Do you know who the real owner of Colorado is?”
"You mean the Rockefellers?".
Nancy nodded and shook her head. Seeing Luo Nianzhong's questioning eyes, Nancy's expression became serious.
“It can be said that the Rockefeller family is the real owner of Colorado, but you can also think that Colorado is an ownerless land.”
Changing to a comfortable sitting position, Nancy Dick seemed to fall into memories.
“Both our Dick family and the Anschutz family are from Kansas, and we have been family friends since more than a hundred years ago.
One family is engaged in politics and the other is engaged in business, supporting each other.
But if you want to develop, you will definitely hinder the interests of some people, so there are only two choices, either surrender or perish.
Apparently we were the latter and were devastated in Kansas.
Our Dick family failed in the competition for state officials and ended up living in a small town, while the Anschutz family's oil business almost went bankrupt."
"I remember the headquarters of Koch Brothers Industries was in Kansas."
In Kansas, there is the home base of the Koch brothers, the largest private company in the world today, which can be said to be the king of the mountain in Kansas.
Whoever becomes the governor of Kansas depends on their looks. This is common in many places in the beautiful country. The whole country has been divided into several territories by these capitalists, which is in line with the definition of the word federal.
Otherwise, the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party are actually the war between Rockefeller and Morgan.
Of course, many consortiums have not yet completely declined, and the two companies have not yet reached the level of rivalry.
"So we see the benefits of power in this matter. We no longer want to be a chess piece at the mercy of others, but want to be a chess player. Even the weakest chess player is still a chess player, right?"
Luo Nianzhong understood. “So you chose Colorado?”
"That's right" Nancy nodded.
“Even though most of Colorado’s mineral resources are in companies owned by the Rockefeller family, the people here are not friendly to this consortium.
They even launched a march to drive out the family, so that the Rockefeller family had to publicly distance themselves from Colorado."
Luo Nianzhong nodded, he knew this history.
The establishment and prosperity of Denver is based on the huge mineral resources and oil resources here.
However, since the 19th century, the people of Colorado have become increasingly demanding on the environment. They feel that Rockefeller has amassed a large amount of wealth at the expense of the lives of Colorado people.
The key is that this wealth has nothing to do with Coloradans. Rockefeller did not invest in local construction or better improve the medical, environmental and other issues here, so the people of Colorado revolted.
A large number of people took to the streets to demand that Rockefeller get out of Colorado. Rockefeller had no choice but to support some spokesmen. On the surface, they had no connection with this place.
Great philanthropist? They only got this name after this incident.
Not only Rockefeller, but also wealthy people across the United States started philanthropy to gain great fame.
But do you think they will be willing to give it all? How can it be. Nowadays, many charities in beautiful countries are tax deductible. Who do you think is most beneficial? Are they civilians?
“That’s why you say this is terra nullius, and Rockefeller can no longer claim control of Colorado.
And other forces are unwilling to come here when the most important mineral resources in Colorado are controlled by Rockefeller."
"Yes, so the Anschutz family has been developing real estate and agriculture over the years, and our family has also been developing tourism in Colorado."
Real estate and tourism are complementary to each other, but it is simply impossible to shake Rockefeller's foundation here and challenge their authority in these two industries.
All it takes is a reduction in production to create a large number of unemployed people, so the consequences for these officials who disobey the Rockefeller family are self-evident.
Now this matter makes sense. They have recognized their own power and know that it is impossible to control Colorado by their own strength. At this time, Luo Nianzhong happened to come to their door again.
It is better to say that it is a test of Luo Nianzhong's ability than to verify the close relationship between Luo Nianzhong and the two major consortiums DuPont and Texas.
If it is possible for Luo Nianzhong to investigate the Anschutz family's current financial support for Nancy Dick, then the fight in Kansas where both parties put everything they had into a fight is not something that ordinary people with some influence can understand.
This is not the Internet age. It still takes such a long time to investigate a small matter involving a city councilor. Only a local gangster can do it.
This shows that the Koch brothers have come to help, and the only people who can help them are beings of the same level.
Indeed, even the DuPont family didn't know it, and they could only benefit from Copeland's handing over part of DuPont's intelligence department to Chris.
It was said to be a gift to Luo Ziyan, but both families knew that the Luo family owed the Dupont family a huge favor this time.
At that time, Luo Nianzhong was thinking how much this generation of the Du Pont family was looked down upon by Copeland. He was allowed to leave so many secrets behind just in case the family and country changed and Du Pont fell.
However, history has proven that Copeland was right. The DuPont family was indeed the same as the Mellon family in that its strength was greatly reduced and could no longer keep up with the word consortium.
Although they are still giants, their influence on the upper echelons of the beautiful country is absolutely incomparable to DuPont at its peak.
"Why should I join forces with you and what can I gain?"
"A fulcrum to enter a beautiful country, isn't this enough?"
Nancy Dick was smiling and confident when she said this, as if she expected that Luo Nianzhong would definitely agree and couldn't resist the temptation at all.
Facts have proved that she was right. The major states in the United States can be said to have a high degree of autonomy. For example, California and Texas did not have white houses at all.
What does your white house rely on to control the states? It’s not about grants and subsidies.
But for California and Texas, the two states with the top three economies, they don’t care at all about the little allocation you get for your white house.
That is to say, your decision to white house is in line with the interests of those capitalists. Otherwise, who would blame some of your decrees?
Many people even secretly violated the rules of the white house and secretly sold many things.
The same goes for the Dick family and the Anschutz family. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold up.
Until the taller one is crushed to death, the family's interests are the most important.
So the temptation to control Colorado would be too great.
