In fact, there was nothing much to talk about during this meeting. It was nothing more than you complimenting me and I complimenting you. One of them needed to borrow Yang Jing's abundant funds, and the other wanted to make friends with this father and son. After all, both of them could become president.
In any case, it is more cost-effective to make friends with one president than to train ten members of Congress.
In contrast, the Bushes valued Yang Jing more. The United States is a country where capital is everything. In the United States, as long as you have enough capital, you can almost walk sideways. The Koch brothers in later generations are a typical example.
Who doesn't know that the businesses run by the Koch brothers are mostly heavily polluting petrochemical businesses? But aren't they living a better life than anyone else? The brothers' wealth is also climbing up step by step every year. Even the fact that the president of Twitter later openly withdrew from the Paris Agreement may have been caused by the Koch brothers.
It is not a lie to say that if you have enough capital, you can control the entire United States. Everyone knows that the U.S. government is actually a very inefficient government. Apart from some necessary military actions, other matters often take months or even years to discuss after a proposal is put forward, regardless of whether it can be passed in the end.
But in 2018, when Trump wanted to launch a trade war against China, it was passed in just a few days. Why? It's very simple, because it was not the parliament that participated in the vote, but the top ten financial groups!
Even though the top ten conglomerates appear to have declined and are far behind the emerging IT giants, in fact, whether it is Gates, Ellison, Apple or Google, their influence in the United States is still at least as far as the Pacific Ocean compared to the top ten conglomerates!
The reason why Yang Jing went back to the 1980s to build his own financial team and even to form a consortium was because this era was the last chance for emerging capital to become a consortium. If this opportunity was missed, it would be gone forever.
This is also the main reason why Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and other large companies with market capitalizations of 700 billion to 800 billion US dollars, despite having plenty of money, cannot form a consortium. This is because these emerging IT giants have actually been secretly controlled by the top ten consortiums!
Yang Jing knew very well that if he could not form the embryonic form of a consortium in the early 1990s, he would never become a consortium with great influence in the future. That is why Yang Jing desperately acquired banks, insurance companies and trust companies, desperately invested in major companies, and desperately made friends with American politicians.
Only when these three aspects are done well enough, will a new consortium emerge. Without any one of them, the consortium's plan will only be a joke.
In terms of banks, in addition to the Hartford National Company and Arlington Trust, an insurance and trust company that it has already acquired, KY Investment Fund has now set its sights on several other banks. David Anderson even suggested that Yang Jing take action against First North Carolina United National Bank, and Yang Jing fully affirmed this suggestion.
The First North Carolina Union National Bank is the predecessor of the Wachovia Bank, the fourth largest bank in the United States in later generations. Now this bank is not as big as the Wachovia Bank in later generations, so it is completely possible to take action against it now.
David is now in charge of banking matters.
As for investing in major companies, this is also quite necessary. Only by becoming a major shareholder of these core companies in various industries in the United States can Yang Jing's status and position be fully guaranteed. Henry Williams is now in charge of investing in major companies.
As for making friends with the bigwigs in the political arena, this is the responsibility of Mike Aller. Today, Yang Jing just came here to support Mike Aller. Of course, Yang Jing was also curious and wanted to see what the famous Bush father and son looked like before they became the President of the United States.
It was precisely because both parties wanted to get along well with each other that this meeting was very successful.
Yang Jing even talked to Bush Sr. about some support plans after Bush Sr. took office. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the currently most popular KY Investment Fund, Yang Jing promised to provide all-round support after Bush Sr. took office. Although these were just some verbal promises, it still won Bush Sr.'s gratitude.
George H.W. Bush, who served two terms as Vice President of the United States, knew very well that if he wanted to achieve political achievements once he took office and during his term, he would need the strong support of these capital tycoons.
The meeting lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening. Although most of the talks were meaningless nonsense, Yang Jing's vanity was completely satisfied.
What nonsense! After all, I had a candlelight night talk with the Bush father and son. If I could tell others about it, this alone would be enough for me to brag about for three years!
Yang Jing did not stay at the Walker Manor, but declined Bush's offer and returned to a hotel in Austin with Mike Aller and two bodyguards. Since childhood, Yang Jing did not like living in other people's homes, and he would rather stay in a hotel than in a luxurious manor for this reason.
However, if you ask Yang Jing to buy a luxury house in Austin or Houston, Yang Jing really has no such idea. Not to mention Texas, even in New Orleans or Orlando or Miami in Florida, Yang Jing is unwilling to buy a house.
Buying a house in such a place is simply uncomfortable. This area near the Gulf of Mexico is hit by hurricanes every year. Yang Jing will not sit idle and play with hurricanes. That thing is too scary, buddy has not lived enough.
