People of their status and wealth know best how much influence huge wealth can bring. Although Skaif had never heard of Cole Smith before, he would definitely put this tycoon with huge wealth on an equal footing with himself, or even higher.
There was no other way. Skaif, who came from a big family, knew very well that in a social system where capital was king, whoever controlled more capital would be more powerful. Even though this Cole Smith was unknown before, Skaif knew very well that with Cole Smith's terrifying wealth, as long as he wanted, he would immediately become one of the top people in the United States.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the President of the United States would not take such a tycoon seriously, just like the bigwigs of the Mellon family.
Not only the Mellon family, but also the bigwigs of the Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont families, which one would really take the president seriously?
For the Mellon family, being able to make friends with such a tycoon with huge wealth will definitely bring only benefits and no disadvantages.
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Skai were extremely enthusiastic towards Yang Jing, and even neglected to entertain some other guests. Among them, when James Baker, the US Treasury Secretary, came here, Mr. and Mrs. Skai ignored him and asked another person in the family who was responsible for reception to receive these guests.
James Baker, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, was helpless in the face of the Skaifs' disregard. Although he was the U.S. Treasury Secretary and nominally controlled the entire U.S. wealth, he knew very well that not only him, but even Boss Reagan would be nothing in front of such a deep-rooted family.
Not to mention that the tall Scaife in front of him is also the recognized "right-wing king" in American politics. This guy's influence in American politics is even greater than that of the president. He is far beyond the reach of a Treasury Secretary like him.
James Baker is not qualified to move forward, but that doesn’t mean others are not qualified to move forward.
Today is the commemorative reception for the 130th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Richard Beatty Mellon, so many big figures who are rarely seen in normal times have appeared here, including representatives of the top ten financial groups in the United States.
These representatives are all flagship figures in their respective families or conglomerates, otherwise they would not have received the personal invitation letter from Mr. Richard King Mellon. Since the two flagship figures of the Mellon family are attending today's cocktail party, those big families and big conglomerates must have sent corresponding figures to attend today's cocktail party.
Being in this world of fame and fortune, you must abide by its various rules.
But when these bigwigs arrived at this ancient manor, they found that one of the current owners and one of the core figures of the Mellon family, Scaife, was standing at the door and chatting happily with a strange man. Even Finance Minister Baker and the bosses of several other companies came but were not entertained.
Who is this mysterious man? How could he be so highly regarded by Scaife?
You know, as a famous "right-wing king" in American politics, with a behemoth like the Mellon family behind him, Scaife has very high vision. To him, anyone with a personal net worth of less than 1 billion US dollars is just an ordinary person.
But what the hell is this scene?
Driven by curiosity, the big shots came forward one after another. In terms of their status and position, they were fully qualified to be on an equal footing with Skaif, and some of them were even real big shots that Skaif needed to look up to.
For example, Harry Morgan, the son of Henry Morgan who founded Morgan Stanley; Lawrence Rockefeller, the third generation flagship of the Rockefeller family, known as the "father of venture capital" on Wall Street; Chris DuPont, the flagship of the DuPont family; and Michael Reed, the current chairman of Citigroup.
Any one of these people could be a big shot who was on par with Skaif, or even someone Skaif needed to look up to. When they came forward, Skaif could only greet them with a smile.
Then, when these bigwigs learned that this mysterious man was actually the boss of KY Investment Fund, several more famous bigwigs appeared in front of the gate of this ancient building.
