We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 559 Three-party cooperation

"I know what you want to ask. The purpose of looking for you this time is very simple. I want Chris to join GJH."

GJH, these three words are enough to express everything.

At this time, Luo Nianzhong had recovered from his initial shock, but he didn't say anything, looking like his brain was not enough.

Copeland glanced at the two Wallenberg brothers, tapped the ground lightly with the stick in his hand, and smiled when he saw Luo Nianzhong looking at him.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask."

"I am very curious about this ancient group."

"Tell me how much you know."

Since he asked this question, it means that he knows something about GJH. Copeland wants to see how much he knows. This also reflects the strength of the Luo family's intelligence department.

“I know that this group was founded four thousand years ago during the Sumerian civilization by a group of stonemasons, also known as the Free Masons Guild.

Later, this organization went through several civilizations until the end of the Middle Ages when the modern GJH was established.

I heard that GJH has a strict hierarchy, divided into 33 levels, and most people can only be temporary members.

There are many conditions for joining GJH. First of all, you must believe in the existence of God in this world, be at least 20 years old, be recommended by two members, and have a certain economic foundation or social status in society.

In addition, many people in history were members of the GJH, such as the three founding fathers of the United States."

Luo Nianzhong hasn't told everything he knows yet, but this has already surprised Copeland and the other two except Chris.

This is not the era of information explosion, and GJH strictly prohibits members from revealing that they are members of this group.

Even if you notice a member wearing clothes with the GJH logo, you can greet them with gestures or by wearing clothes that represent the group.

Both sides understand, but just can't say it.

With so little information available, it is terrifying to think that Luo Nianzhong knows so many details that only insiders can know.

If the Wallenberg brothers had not seen Copeland's surprised expression, they would have suspected that it was this old man who told the other party these things.

“Do you know why there is a saying that everyone hates Jews?”

Copeland regained his composure and laughed at himself. After all, he was also a Jew.

“In fact, this group was originally established for no other reason than to find a place to rely on, because they are ultimately slaves rather than rulers.

The more brutal the rulers of each dynasty became, the stronger the group became.

But all this changed with the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of capitalism.

These people with special skills and talents discovered that their original backgrounds could be changed, and they could become the masters of the world in a different way.

The first people to have this idea were the Jews inside.

No one cared at the beginning, but as capital continued to grow, especially when their money could affect a country's war success and economy, how could the rulers allow these people to threaten their ruling position?

These questions were also raised within GJH.

They felt that these people were going against God's will and were inconsistent with the views that GJH originally established.

In this way, many new organizations emerged, such as Light, Seven Sisters, and so on.

They are like the internal factions within a gang; they belong to the same gang but are divided into different sections with their own interests."

So that's how it is. It turns out that one will be expelled if he touches other people's cake.

"What happened next? Who helped you gain a foothold?" This kind of secret history would interest everyone, including Luo Nianzhong.

"Have you heard of the Medici family?"

"Isn't it the family that led the Renaissance and ruled Florence for three centuries?"

"That's right." Copeland was very satisfied with Luo Nianzhong's knowledge.

“GJH members are required to believe in God, but they are not restricted in which god you believe in.

The Medici family developed by converting to Christianity and gaining the favor of local people and the help of people in the church.

They started out in textiles and then moved into banking, and through their connections with the church, they made the Vatican their client, and opened branches all over the European continent.

This was the very beginning of the celebrity effect. At that time, was there any spokesperson more famous and more trusted by the people than the Holy See?

Copeland didn't know what Luo Nianzhong was thinking and continued to talk.

"Having tasted the sweetness of the church, the Medici family began to actively participate in Christian activities. Historically, the Medici family produced four archbishops, which also created the glorious Medici family.

After becoming rich, the Medici family began to intermarry with European royal families. This can be seen from the Medici family genealogy, that they are related by blood to all European royal families.

Unfortunately, in the 18th century, the Medici family began to decline due to the lack of a male heir.

Their enemies united and began to suppress their influence in politics, economy and religion, and the Medici family declined.

Otherwise, why do the big families in ancient times value offspring the most? No matter how much money you make, it’s all in vain if you don’t have an heir.

"Do you know the four ruling capital families in Europe?"

The old guy was addicted to asking questions and began to test Luo Nianzhong again.

"The Medici family, the Fugger family, the Habsburg family, the Rothschild family. I heard that many of the Medici family's connections were inherited by the Habsburg family."

"Sure, kid, you're really making me look at you in a new light.

Do you know why the Habsburg family was able to inherit the connections and assets left by the Medici family?"

"Lower body." As soon as these three words came out, everyone burst into laughter except Chris who was a little confused.

“I do know this history. The Habsburg family was the hereditary Holy Roman Emperor starting in the 15th century, marking the beginning of the Habsburg dynasty.

This family is related by marriage to all the royal families in Europe, especially the royal families with only one child, and they occupy other countries through inheritance."

At this point Luo Nianzhong paused and said, "I understand. It was precisely because the Habsburg royal family saw that the Medici family had no male heirs that they entered into an alliance with them."

"Yes, that's right. At its peak, the Habsburg family conquered 24 countries through 18 marriages.

They also had a slogan at the time: Let others fight, we happy Habsburgs just like to get married.

Unfortunately, the Habsburg royal family used marriage to become the most powerful kingdom in Europe, and other kingdoms also regarded it as their biggest enemy.

In particular, the large number of inbreeding caused problems for the Habsburg offspring.

But it doesn’t matter. The marriage with the Medici family made the Habsburg family realize the beauty of money.

For example, didn’t the Sea Coachman who later broke away from the Habsburg Dynasty and the Toreador Empire both begin their initial era of plunder?

This led the whole of Europe to follow suit, and the first thing every powerful dynasty did when it rose was to make money.

This gave the Jews, who were born to do business, an opportunity, and the subsequent series of wars between dynasties seemed to be God's will for us to rise in Europe."

The secret history is very interesting, but it still misses the point.

"What does this have to do with Chris joining GJH?"

"Because you can only join GJH if you join GJH."

Copeland's words confused Luo Nianzhong, and he looked at him with some confusion, waiting for an answer.

“GJH, this is actually an ordinary group. There is no conspiracy or anything like that. The most important purpose of its existence is to spread education.

GJH is not an ordinary organization, it is like the United Nations among top families. We are constantly fighting among ourselves, but the premise is that the interests and resources must be controlled by GJH people."

“I understand. Those who had the idea formed a new GJH within the GJH, and the one that spread the doctrine was just a means for you to control those influential people.”

"Yes, that's it."

"I want to know the class relations of your so-called GJH".

Copeland and the Wallenberg brothers looked at each other, and this time it was Marcus from the Wallenberg family who spoke.

“There are four bishops and seven deacons in this organization, and the rest are members.

Elections are held every 50 years, with members competing for deacons and deacons competing for bishops.

The method is simple, the one with the most votes wins, or it can be seen as who has more followers.

We, the Wallenberg family, are the deacons, and Dupont is one of the four great bishops."

Luo Nianzhong had not expected that the current DuPont family could have such influence?

Seeing Luo Nianzhong's doubts and thoughts, Copeland smiled a little sadly.

“You didn’t live in that era, so you have no idea how glorious the DuPont family was.

The Rockefellers, Morgan, and Rothschild have all been the richest men of the century, but DuPont is the backbone of this organization.

Which of these upper-class families did not make their fortune from war? Which of them could escape the help of the DuPont family?"

Yes, this is the king of gunpowder.

"What does this have to do with Chris's joining? She can help the DuPont family keep the position of bishop? Isn't that too fantastical?"

“No, she doesn’t need to help the du Ponts, she just needs to keep her current seat.

The reason why it was Chris is because the candidates for the deacon this time are the Watson family and Cargill, and they are both from the Luo family."

"It seems that the Luo family has become the target of everyone's criticism."

Luo Nianzhong learned from Copeland's words which is the most powerful family in the world now.

After saying this, Luo Nianzhong glanced at Chris, who lowered his head in shame.

No wonder she was needed to join in, because Copeland needed Luo Nianzhong to fight.

Who are the Watson family? They are the founders of IBM. The only company that can rival or even beat them in the semiconductor industry is the Far East Group.

Many people now say that IBM and Far East Group have divided the electronics industry, with one controlling the software and the other controlling the hardware.

Although it is not absolute, it can be seen that Microsoft and Far East Chip are strong in their respective fields.

What about Cargill, the agricultural giant? Both Pioneer Seeds and Cargill have areas of expertise.

But in general, seed companies have much less influence than grain traders. There are many seed companies, but if no one buys the grain you grow, no matter how good the seeds are, they will be useless.

Copeland was so confident that Luo Nianzhong could solve this problem, which meant that the other party already knew about many of the plans he was making.

Who can tell him? Just look at the way Chris is now.

"How long is it until the next election?" I've told her, so there's no need to be too angry, but I must teach this woman a lesson when I get back.

"1997, there are still 6 years to go."

This time is enough for him to complete his layout in these two industries. He is not afraid of the Watson family, and he can also compete with Cargill.

"Are you so sure that the other two families will join forces with you?"

“Do you know where Reaganomics and Britain’s neoliberal economy came from?”

Is there a story behind this? Luo Nianzhong shook his head to indicate that he was all ears.

“This is driven by the Luo family and the Rothschilds, who essentially want to return the economy to the unregulated era.

But the Rothschilds never expected that they were tricked. After quickly completing their layout in North America, the Rothschilds began a globalized economic model, and the first battlefield was Europe.

The Rothschild family is not what it used to be. They may have influence in Britain, but it is not so easy to take over other countries on the European continent."

I see. In terms of capital, the Luo family is indeed unrivaled now.

Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with me. The situation in the Middle East has made the Luo family's wealth increase again. Whether it is oil or arms, the Luo family is the biggest beneficiary.

"What's in it for me?"

I can't waste my efforts in vain. If the competition starts, it will have a huge impact on the Luo family. I won't be a saint if there are no conditions that impress me.

"We will help you to contain the others so that you can better complete your layout in the Far East."

The Far East, this Far East is not the Far East of the polar bear, it refers to the entire East.

As long as the Luo family can become the most influential family in the Far East, there will definitely be a place for the Luo family among the top ten or even top five in the world, and this is what Luo Nianzhong is doing now.

"Not enough." Luo Nianzhong said he was greedy and wanted something more affordable.

“What about a unified European pharmaceutical company?”

Jacob's words made Luo Nianzhong's eyes flash, "Tell me more about it."

“Half of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Europe are owned by us and the Rothschild family. Why can’t we merge into two or three large companies like Pfizer Squibb?

Wouldn't it be good if we could cross-hold shares and each control one company?"

Luo Nian was moved by this proposal. It would be impossible for him to completely control such a large pharmaceutical company in Europe and hold shares in the other two companies by relying on the power of the Luo family.

It must be the Wallenberg family and the Rothschild family who helped Luo Nianzhong to take advantage of this.

But there is no free lunch in the world, and such delicious food cannot be given away directly.

"Tell me what I need to do."

"It's simple, just share Vodafone and help Ericsson open up the European market."

Vodafone, this rising star in British communications, has become one of the European communications giants in just a few years with the huge financial support from Luo Nianzhong.

It is estimated that the Rothschild family has now seen the future importance of the mobile communications industry, but unfortunately it is too late.

So instead of starting from scratch, they want to join forces.

As for Ericsson, this communications equipment manufacturer owned by the Wallenberg family is not only seeing its communications equipment market being eroded, but its newly launched mobile phone business is also being suppressed by Far East Communications.

Not to mention the Han and Tang dynasties in the Far East, even the mid- and low-end models in Europe are now dominated by Nokia, and Nokia has received support from the Far East.

As long as the three parties work together, the sales of mobile phones from communication equipment to communication operators and then to terminals will be completely opened up.

This may seem powerful for the Luo family, but it also gives the other two companies a chance to enter the market, a chance to dominate the European communications industry.

They are gambling on the Luo family's foundation and fortune. A major crisis may come at any time and the Luo family may have to sell off its flesh.

But they don’t know that what Luo Nian is least afraid of is gambling on the future.

"I agree."
