The fact that Cole Smith, the incarnation of Yang Jing, can sit in this room is enough to show his current status and identity.
Some things are unnecessary, smart people can see them clearly, and as for fools, as long as they are not hopelessly stupid idiots who know nothing, they will also understand the status of this middle-aged man who came out with the flagship figures of the top ten financial groups.
Although this person was a stranger, a stranger to almost everyone present, seeing him chatting and laughing with those big shots who could shake the United States three times with just the stomping of their feet was enough to show how powerful this person was.
You know, even the President of the United States may not be favored by some of these people.
As veteran tycoons in New York, the Koch brothers found it difficult to understand why this middle-aged man in his forties could gain such favor. But it didn't matter that they didn't understand, because they had a good friend who knew this mysterious man.
After seeing the mysterious man and the ten bigwigs parting with smiles, Bloomberg quickly walked up to him and continued chatting and laughing with the mysterious man. The Koch brothers knew that their opportunity had come.
"Hey, Michael, I just wanted to talk to you about something. Hey, this is..." Charles Koch is the eldest of the Koch brothers and has been fighting in the business world, so he is the most appropriate person to come forward.
Bloomberg saw the Koch brothers coming over and said with a smile, "Charles, David, hello. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Cole Smith from KY Investment Fund. Cole, this is Charles Koch from Koch Industries, and this is your younger brother David Koch."
Bloomberg's introduction immediately surprised the Koch brothers. They immediately realized why the middle-aged man in front of them was standing with those ten bigwigs. This man really had such strength.
Charles Koch and David Koch immediately extended their hands. Yang Jing smiled and shook hands with the two New York tycoons. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Koch."
"Hehe, just call me Charles (David). Nice to meet you, Cole."
Yang Jing knew something about the Koch brothers. The brothers could be the richest people in New York now and in the next 20 years. Even in 30 years, the brothers' assets would not be much worse than Bloomberg's. In 2005, Koch Industries, owned by the brothers, acquired Georgia-Pacific, which was the largest case of a private company acquiring a public company in world history. After this acquisition, they surpassed Cargill and became the world's largest private company. In 30 years, if the brothers' assets were added together, they would surely become the world's richest man.
Whether now or in the future, the brothers are one of the top tycoons in New York and even the United States. Although they cannot be compared with the top ten financial groups, they are also very powerful figures.
Especially his younger brother David Koch, who, like Bloomberg later, was a man who was good at both politics and business. But compared to Bloomberg, who was only obsessed with the positions of mayor of New York and president, David Koch was a giant in the Republican Party. With the cooperation of his older brother Charles Koch, the two brothers even dared to manipulate the change of the US Secretary of State.
The Koch brothers began to get involved in politics in 2003, investing huge amounts of money and making subtle arrangements by controlling schools, think tanks, media and non-profit organizations. In the 2016 presidential election, the Koch brothers invested $2.5 billion, and in 2017 they spent another $20 million to promote the tax reform bill. In November of the same year, the U.S. Congress will hold mid-term elections, and one-third of the seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives will be replaced. In order to maintain the Republican majority, the Koch brothers invested $400 million.
The change of US Secretary of State on March 19, 2018 was reportedly completed under the control of these two brothers.
Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, was chosen by the Twitter president in early 2017 to serve as the 69th U.S. Secretary of State. Tillerson did a good job in the position of Secretary of State, but the Twitter president's big mouth was so annoying that a conflict arose between the two.
On March 19, 2018, President Trump finally fired Tillerson, who had been in office for just over a year, and replaced him with current CIA Director Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State.
Why is it that the Koch brothers controlled the change of Secretary of State this time? It all started with Pompeo, who succeeded Tillerson as the new US Secretary of State.
Since they began to get involved in American politics, the Koch brothers have relied on their strong financial resources, careful and complete planning, and years of training to cultivate a large number of politicians in the United States. Pompeo, the CIA Director who succeeded the unlucky Tillerson as Secretary of State, is just the most outstanding representative.
In the 2010 mid-term elections, Pompeo was elected as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives with the support of the Koch brothers. Since then, he has been called "the Koch brothers' congressman." In January 2017, President Trump nominated and the Senate approved Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo to become the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Although the Koch brothers and the Twitter president are both Republicans, they are not in the same sub-camp. In the early stage, the brothers supported the Twitter president to become the president of the United States, purely for the sake of "the overall situation". However, when it comes to the replacement of the Secretary of State, the Koch brothers are not going to "put the overall situation first".
Although the change of Secretary of State this time was a result of the Twitter president's decision to change his leader, it was also the result of a balance among Republican factions. Who can believe that the Koch brothers had no hand in this?
After all, it is well known that the new Secretary of State is a staunch supporter of the Koch brothers.
