Chapter 297: Emergency

With the arrival of July, the temperature in San Francisco begins to climb to its highest peak of the year.

But even so, the highest temperature is only around 83 degrees Fahrenheit, which can still be considered quite pleasant.

Except for the hottest time at noon, it is very casual at other times.

I have to say that the weather in the urban agglomeration near the San Francisco Bay is indeed very pleasant.

The key is that there are really few mosquitoes. If you live a little higher up, away from residential areas, there may even be no mosquitoes at all.

In addition, entering July also heralds the arrival of various peak seasons.

Travel, fashion, entertainment, etc., businessmen are doing their best to promote themselves in the hope of attracting more attention.

After entering July, fluctuations in international crude oil prices suddenly became intense.

Many major financial giants in the world have already learned some news.

It was July 5th, the day after America’s Independence Day.

King Tessa suddenly announced an expansion of oil production capacity to sell oil at low prices, encouraging consumers to consume oil again and stimulating global industrial and economic growth.

The words sound nice, but other oil-producing countries except OPEC are all shouting "wolf" and are extremely nervous.

OPEC is clearly aware of its intentions! OPEC intends to sell at low prices, abandon its policy of limiting production and maintaining prices, and compete for a reasonable market share at low prices.

The cost of oil extraction in the Middle East is the lowest. OPEC clearly wants to suppress oil prices, make small profits but quick turnover, and force other high-cost oil-producing countries to cut production.

As soon as the policy was released, global international crude oil prices fell.

Last year, international oil prices were hit hard due to Venezuela's increased oil production.

If OPEC does this again, international oil prices will go down like a laxative.

As of July 10, the international crude oil price has fallen to US$25.58 a barrel.

Such a good opportunity.

Logically speaking, the financiers from major American financial groups.

Everyone should be rushing in at this moment and shorting the international crude oil price on a large scale.

In fact, this is true.

Wall Street began another all-night period.

But it's just the financial instruments below that people are busy with.

And the top people and controllers of major financial groups.

That is, the main members of the more than one hundred most powerful families.

Their attention was drawn to a breaking news.

The King of California, finally Mihezhu California Consortium did not split up, and Schneider Wilson, who saved the main core enterprises of the California Consortium, might be in trouble.

He was admitted to UCSF Medical Center, one of the most prestigious hospitals in the San Francisco area.

Everyone knew that old Schneider had always been in poor health.

At his age, not many people are in as good of a physical condition as David Rockefeller.

It is normal for people like Schneider, who is plagued by illness, and old Arthur from Boston Adams who passed away last year.

When Milo arrived in person, he met many members of the Wilson family.

Of the immediate family, Schneider King Wilson's wife and older peers have died.

The person who stabilized the morale of the troops on the scene was his cousin Paul Wilson, who was also Edward's great uncle, a 77-year-old man.

In addition, there are Edward's other brothers and sisters.

Edward himself is the eldest brother, and he has two cousins, Timothy Wilson and George Wilson. These two cousins ​​of Milo are interested in art and computers and are indifferent to the family business.

Milo had only seen him a few times.

And Edward's biological father, Milo's cousin.

His father Schneider died first.

The cause of death was also cancer.

Maybe the Wilson family really doesn't have good genes in this area.

Even though we have the best medical resources in the world, we still can't cure the disease.

Well, the same is true for Paladin.

There were also other members of the Wilson family, including Edward's two sisters and other younger generations who were less closely related.

At this time, almost all the younger generations of the Wilson family had confused and helpless looks in their eyes.

Milo could understand this.

"Edward, how is Schneider?"

Milo was received by Edward, the eldest grandson.

Edward's expression was gloomy: "Fortunately, he is not dead yet."

"But the doctor said that his vital signs are weak and the chances of him waking up again are almost zero."

Milo frowned and sighed.

So why did the Three Kingdoms finally belong to Sima?

Because Sima Yi is so long-lived! At this high level, the struggle will probably end with a contest of who can live longer.

This is what happened to Adams' Arthur, and now Schneider is following suit.

"Where is my beloved Schneider now? I want to go see him."

"Grandfather is in this ward, come in."

After saying that, Edward pushed open the half-open door of the ward and walked in with Milo.

This is a top-level ward with a full range of medical facilities.

Old Wilson was lying on the only hospital bed, with all kinds of tubes and wires connected to his body.

There is a doctor and two nurses around the bed observing the situation in real time.

"Grandfather, Milo is here, can you open your eyes and take a look?"

"Grandfather, can you please speak..."

No matter how Edward called out to old Wilson, he showed no response while lying on the hospital bed, except for the heart monitor next to him which kept beeping regularly.

Milo felt bad too. Birth, old age, sickness and death. Looking at Schneider lying on the bed, he thought of his grandfather.

Although he was reborn, he inherited all the emotions of his original body.

When I cried bitterly at Paladin's funeral, it wasn't just an act.

It's a true brotherhood.

Milo also has deep feelings for his grandfather, parents, and others.

Looking back, Milo saw that everyone had sad faces, and the female members with lower tear points were even secretly wiping away tears.

This situation, coupled with the relationship between Blackburn and Wilson.

Milo had no choice but to speak: "Everyone, this is the greatest blessing in the midst of misfortune. Although the doctor gave a pessimistic analysis, he has not really ruled out death after all. And miracles do exist in the world, don't they?"

"At least there is still hope!"

"Well, a miracle will definitely happen to grandpa. He is the strongest man, and he will definitely wake up." Edward's face looked very bad. It was a little blue and he had dark circles under his eyes. He probably didn't get enough rest during this period. He muttered to himself.

Milo was silent.

Because he was different from the people present, he could hear the voice of God.

Just now, he tried to listen to Schneider's future.

Old Schneider still has a few months to live, but these few months are just hanging on to life.

No different from a vegetative person.

Regardless of whether you die in a few months or remain a vegetable for a few months.

To the Wilson family and the California consortium, it means no different than a dead person.

The wise and intelligent fourth-generation head of the Wilson family is gone.

For the current Wilson family, there is an urgent need for a new family leadership core to re-emerge, otherwise the family and even the California consortium will face a huge crisis!

However, Milo only needed to think about the current situation of the Wilson family to know that they were now in a completely scattered state.

Paul Wilson, who has the highest seniority and the largest share of the property, is not only old.

He also did not have the ability to take over. After all, as the grandson of the second-generation head Sax Wilson and the cousin of Schneider, he chose to do charity and collecting when he was young. He lacked sufficient training and was not good at business and fighting.

Most of him and his descendants in Paul Wilson's branch were also influenced by him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although many of them are elites, they are elites in other fields and are not interested in the family business.

There are some who are interested, but their talents are limited and they cannot be of great use.

Except for Paul Wilson and Schneider King Wilson.

There are other members of the Wilson family, but they inherited less assets, but many of them hold important positions in some companies.

Among these people, many are elites, but they are still a long way from becoming the head of a family or the ruler of a consortium.

However, most of them are Edward's uncles. Regardless of whether any of them are interested in the position of head of the family, at least one thing is certain: they will never unconditionally support Edward like they support Schneider.

After all, for them, they might prefer to trust professional managers or themselves rather than fully believe in Edward's abilities.

As the family grows, stability becomes the top priority, and the word "gambling" has been completely decoupled!

When Paul Wilson was alive, at least relying on his seniority and wealth, he was able to unify Wilson to a certain extent.

If Edward could get Paul Wilson's full support, then everything would be fine.

But once Paul Wilson dies, or Paul Wilson has second thoughts.

Then the Wilson family would really be broken up.

Each of them worked on their own and gradually lost control of the companies under the consortium, and their influence also continued to decline.

This is just within the Wilson family, and the ideas of other families in the California consortium have not yet been considered.

If Schneider is here, then Wilson is the king of California.

Schneider is not here, so Paul and Edward come up instead.

Will other families in the California consortium be convinced?

And for Milo, the benefit of keeping the Wilson family alive was greater.

He needed a strong, cohesive Wilson family as his cornerstone in California.

He had considered this idea a long time ago.

But Edward's ability was indeed insufficient, and Schneider acted so suddenly.

Previously, because they were wary of me, the Wilson family did not allow me to come into contact with other members of the California consortium.

Milo himself was completely in the dark.

It's difficult.

He sighed inwardly.

At this time, it had been more than eighteen hours since old Wilson fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.

The hospital was crowded with people, and members of the Wilson family also gathered in the hospital, so the news could not be blocked.

After learning the news, various family consortiums had different reactions.

Among them were Rockefeller and Morgan, who had in-depth cooperation with the Wilson family.

No, to be exact, Rockefeller and Morgan have close ties with any financial group family...

They are like an American Cthulhu, with tentacles spread across almost the entire United States.

Looking across the United States, including all the financial groups, almost all of them are related to Rockefeller and Morgan.

And the same with Morgan.

Although there are many other families as partners in the Rockefeller Foundation.

But the core has always been the Rockefeller family.

So there were only two people who held the secret meeting.

The head of the family, David Rockefeller, and the second most important figure in the family, David Rockefeller’s fourth brother, Lawrence Rockefeller.

The two are the two core pillars of the Rockefeller family. The former's influence is unparalleled, and when he goes abroad, he is received by other countries at the level of heads of state.

The latter was a financial genius even more outstanding than David Rockefeller. He pioneered the world's venture capital, was known as the "Father of Venture Capital", and also dominated the New York Stock Exchange bought by his grandfather.

It was precisely because of his existence that the Rockefeller family repeatedly competed with the "King of Wall Street", the late Henry Morgan, the fourth-generation head of the Morgan family, in the financial field, and broke the dominance of Morgan Stanley (JPM) accumulated over more than 30 years.

Nowadays, the only one in the Morgan family who can be compared with him is John Chris Morgan, the most outstanding son of Henry Morgan who founded Morgan Stanley and the fifth-generation head of the Morgan family who is known as the "financial genius".

This confrontation eventually turned into a merger, and now the alliance between Morgan and Rockefeller has emerged.

But this guy hates Bostonians.

Rumor has it that his former lover was later forced to marry Arthur Adams, the ruler of Boston...

Milo is a Bostonian and Rockefeller's son-in-law, but he has never met this man.

"David, what are you going to do this time against the California consortium?"

Lawrence Rockefeller leaned on the sofa with his left hand, crossed his legs, and took a few puffs of a Cuban cigar, then asked David Rockefeller.

"At the very least, we must seize Chevron Oil. We had a chance, but old Wilson calmed the situation down by clearing out overseas assets and recovering funds."

"But this time, Chevron Oil needs to put our family logo back on!"

David Rockefeller said with a calm look.

David Rockefeller is the head who led the Rockefeller family to a new peak.

Under his leadership, the Rockefeller Group has been firmly seated on the throne of the number one financial group in the United States and even the world for more than 30 years.

Although wealth is what he pursues all his life, he also wants to restore the glory of his family.

No matter how big the Rockefeller consortium is, the symbol of the Rockefeller family will never change, that is Standard Oil Company! More than 80 years ago, the Rockefeller family could not cover the sky with one hand.

With the cooperation of Roosevelt and a group of families, Standard Oil was directly divided into 34 oil companies.

Over the past seventy years, Rockefeller Jr. and David Rockefeller, father and son, have rebuilt their flagship company, Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Through shrewd management and continuous mergers and acquisitions, Exxon Oil Corporation continued to grow and once again became the world's number one.

Although it cannot dominate the oil industry like it did during the Standard Oil era, it is still pretty good.

At the beginning of 1990, it became the first oil company in the world to exceed 200 billion US dollars in sales, and its net profit reached more than 10 billion US dollars!

But no matter what, it is incomplete.

It is the ideal of the brothers, or rather the entire Rockefeller family.

Integrating Standard Oil and bringing Standard Oil back to life is definitely at the forefront.

This can be regarded as the persistence of the Rockefeller family, just like Morgan always wanted to restore Morgan Stanley, so he set up JPMorgan Chase.
