Chapter 1159 The King Behind the Scenes (Third update, please subscribe)
With the friction sound when the wheels came into contact with the runway, the C707 passenger plane flying from London landed at Chang'an Airport.
After the passengers got off the boarding stairs, several of them did not go to the customs, but went directly to the BMW600 parked aside. There were several black Warrior off-road vehicles behind and behind that car. car.
Peggy asked as soon as she got in the car.
“Did you find them?”
"Don't worry, someone is following you."
Hearing what Li Yian said, Peggy breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That's good. Although the security here is much better than in New York, But Jason is still a child after all."
Looking at Paige's relieved look, Li Yian smiled.
“That boy was only fourteen years old and he actually ran away from home and took away a little girl, Vivian Anne, who is she?”
After receiving the telegram, he immediately asked people to pay attention to it. His son ran away from home... This is not bad! Therefore, when they got off the plane, their whereabouts were already known, but he did not disturb them.
"Vivian?"
Peggy said in surprise:
"How could it be Vivian? Shouldn't it be Anne?"
Li Yian took out a folder and pulled out a photo. Asked:
"Do you think it's her?"
Although he didn't disturb them, it didn't mean that as a father, he would do nothing.
Taking the photo and looking at it, Paige said.
“It’s her, it’s Annie!”
“Annie?”
Li Yian wondered:
“Who is she?”
“Paul Mellon’s daughter.”
“What?”
“The only one Daughter,"
Peggy turned to look at Li Yian and said:
"The future heir of the Mellon family! Do you know the Mellon family?"
What does it mean to know!
You know so much!
Li Yian's mind immediately flashed to the "little-known" Mellon family. In another world, the Mellon family is not as famous as the Rockefeller, Morgan and other families, but in terms of wealth and status , even Rockefeller and Morgan cannot compare with them.
The Mellon family has always been low-key. Compared with other families who have their own strengths, the Mellon family is involved in all kinds of industries.
As one of the dominant financial groups, the Mellon family has a leading position in the political and economic fields of the United States, controlling finance, aluminum, oil, coal mines, shipbuilding, steelmaking, military industry, etc. hundreds of companies in the industry.
The influence of such a super wealthy family has widely penetrated into the business, political, financial, philanthropic and art collecting circles in the United States.
How much money does the Mellon family have?
Its total wealth is almost impossible to count, because they have introduced an external professional team a long time ago to provide a full range of wealth management services for complex families. But the assets of the Mellon Bank shares owned by this family alone have exceeded US$30 billion.
Mellon...is definitely the ruler behind the scenes in the United States.
There is no doubt about this.
But what does it have to do with Jason?
Before Li Yian could figure it out, the passionate Peggy had already taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms. After all, they had not seen each other for two months, he said.
"Paul and I have reached a consensus that Annie will become Jason's fiancée!"
Paige just leaned in his arms, enjoying the long-lost intimacy, and said to him:
"Everything about Mellon will become Jason's in the future!"
Holding both hands. Looking at Peggy's slender waist, Li Yian immediately understood and said:
"Okay, you are looking for a wife for your son!"
"Well, yes, there is no comparison. Anne has a better choice, that's it..."
There is a partition between the cockpit and the cockpit, and after the lifting glass window is raised, the driving car looks like a room. This is why the BMW 600 Pullman luxury car is popular with dignitaries and wealthy people from all over the world.
Just like now, they can be so intimate in the car without worrying about outsiders. Of course, the more important thing is to talk about words that are unknown to outsiders.
“Shouldn’t you thank me?”
After a while, Peggy opened her eyes again and said softly:
“Dear, since After Andrew Mellon's death twenty-two years ago, the third generation of members became the leaders of the family, namely Andrew Mellon's son Paul Mellon and nephew Richard King Mellon
Paul, on the other hand, did not care about business matters. As for Richard and several other Mellon children, none of them was qualified to be the next generation leader. So..."
Putting her head on Li Yian's shoulder, Peggy smiled:
"The Mellon family needs a suitable heir! I think Jason is a perfect fit. ”
Why is the Mellon family not known to the world in later generations? In addition to the low profile of the Mellon family, there was a power vacuum when the Mellon family transitioned from the third generation to the fourth generation. The fourth generation of the family, When Richard died, no one had the ability to completely take over the entire family affairs, and Paul was forced to come back to the world.
In the fourth generation of the Mellon family, these reclusive Mellons, either through their careers. Managers take charge of the company, either hiding behind the scenes to control the company, or starting a new business and gradually splitting into independent individuals.
To support their needs, the Mellon family has added a dedicated family office at Mellon Bank, with the goal of hiring a team of professionals to protect complex families by providing them with comprehensive investment, accounting, legal, education and concierge services of future generations. This is also the origin of Bank of New York Mellon's custody. By the 21st century, its assets have reached US$20 trillion. It is the world's largest custody bank and the largest pension trust custody institution in the United States, and is affiliated with the world's largest multi-family office. One of them is "Family Office Services Group", a multi-family office that ranks among the top in terms of assets under management, many of which belong to Bank of New York Mellon.
Listening to Peggy’s arrangements for her son, Li Yian smiled.
“You mean, let Jason help the Mellons manage their property?”
“No,”
Looking at Li Yian, Paige said in a serious tone.
“On the surface, it seems that politicians are standing in the front desk, but in fact it is the consortium that controls the politicians, and Mellon is one of them, and he also plays an extremely important role in it.
The Mellon family after Richard needs a leader, and the Mellon consortium with the Mellon family as its sole core naturally needs someone who can make the final decision. Paul holds the largest share, and Anne is him. The only daughter!”
Putting herself into the man’s arms again, the corner of Paige’s lips raised slightly.
“So, through this marriage, Jason will, in due course, become the fourth generation head of the Mellon family, and even become the mastermind behind the scenes in the United States!
And I have found a suitable marriage partner for John. There are currently two families that are more suitable, but it is not clear yet whether there are suitable heirs in their new generation..."
John is Jason's Although the younger brother is only 6 years old, Peggy has already arranged everything.
Looking at Peggy who is full of expectations and longing, Li Yian subconsciously thought of another famous family-the Habsburg. Family.
The Habsburg family is a family that takes marriage to the extreme. They were originally just a local noble, but their strength later expanded and became the most powerful family in Europe. Their strategy is to make good use of political marriage. Not open.
By marrying their children into the royal families of various European countries, the Habsburg family consolidated their rule in Germany. Through continuous marriages, they inherited a large amount of wealth and land and expanded throughout Europe. The sphere of influence. This kind of soft power diplomacy is undoubtedly the magic weapon for Habsburg's glory.
It can be said that it was through constant political marriage that the Habsburg family gradually grew from an obscure hereditary noble to a superpower that dominated Europe and even the world. It uses the lightest way to gain supreme glory and strength without any effort.
What Paige is doing now... is almost the same.
It’s just that it’s not as extreme as the Habsburg family.
Mellon...will there be Mellon in the end?
Only "Lee" is left.
"...For now, the Mellon family is the best choice."
Looking at the woman in his arms, Li Yian's hands were already moving, playing with them, and nodded in agreement. Yu, I have a lot on my mind. In fact, it would not be bad to become a modern Habsburg family.
Thanks to the huge alliance system established by marriage, the territory of the Habsburg Empire in its heyday spanned the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its area was so vast and its population was unrivaled at the time.
More importantly, members of the Habsburg family almost control the political lifeline of the entire Europe, firmly holding the supreme rule of Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Hungary in their own hands in hand.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Europe in the 16th century, the Habsburg family had the final say. There is no political decision or military action that is not made directly by this family or within its sphere of influence.
The Habsburgs almost monopolized the dominance and voice of the entire European affairs, which was unmatched by any other political entity.
With so many children, I can emulate the Habsburg family and establish a huge in-law alliance through marriage, and then use this alliance to control the economy, manipulate politics, and even become the real behind-the-scenes alliance. king.
Just like those financial groups including Mellon, perhaps in the 21st century, they seem to have disappeared, but they have only disappeared from the public eye. In the past, they were half in front of the stage and half behind the scenes. , and in the new century, they seem to be active in charity and other occasions, but in fact they are still controlling everything behind the scenes.
It’s just that the manipulation has become more subtle.
As Peggy said - politicians are at the front, but the syndicates control the politicians!
Consortiums rule the world!
This is the most real side of the world behind the scenes!
Mellon is just getting started. Through marriage, his children will join those consortiums and control the world behind the scenes!
Isn’t this also a way to conquer the world?
What "men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men."
That's not the case at all - men can also conquer the world by conquering women!
Thinking of this, Li Yian's heart felt hot, but he naturally thought of the children again.
He asked:
"Will the children be willing? Will he blame us for taking away their love when he comes?"
"Love?"< br>
Paige was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"They will have love, but they will also have responsibilities. Just like..."
Looking at the man in front of her, Paige said:
"Just like us, I know you love me and I love you, but that's it. You have your wife and your responsibilities. Are you right?"
Okay, you have a point. All I can say is...this is this society, men always need to bear responsibility.
I have to say that Peggy did the right thing. Looking at the woman next to him, Li Yian's fingers caressed her cheek. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of guilt in his heart. Hey, the love debt must be repaid!
“Dear, if Jason were an ordinary person, if he married Mellon, he would become Mellon, but he is your son, and he would turn Mellon into his. Instead of becoming Mellon Long."
Listening to Peggy's words, Li Yian nodded in agreement. This is a big deception.
No, this is a win-win situation. Jason will take over everything from Mellon, wealth, status, influence, but he will still be Jason Lee, not Mellon...
