Chapter 760 The idea of forming a consortium!
…
The next day, Liu Dong did not go to the preview held by Christie's, but stayed at home with Ivanka.
John Harriman suffered such a big loss last night. Although Liu Dong guessed that the other party would swallow this breath in the face of life and death threats and uncertainty about his details, guessing was still guessing after all.
There are accidents, and if this arrogant and arrogant heir to the plutocratic family wants to cause trouble for him, Liu Dong had better be prepared in advance!
What was a little surprising, but also reasonable, was that Liu Dong didn't notice any danger signs for the entire day.
"If nothing happens to the queen, then it's almost settled!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
But even so, his heart was still not calm, and the pressure was even greater!
Because among the entire Skull and Bones Society, the Harriman family is only one of them. Others include the Taft family, the early American opium kings and political family; the Whitney family, the famous American iron and arms tycoons; and the spokespersons of the American oil and arms business groups.
The Bush family who is currently serving as the president of the United States; the famous American iron and financial tycoon Ponti family; the American chemical giant Lord family, and the famous American and even the world's super wealthy Rockefeller family!
And in addition to these old-fashioned super plutocrats, there are also many elites in the American political and business circles in the Skull and Bones Society. Although they are isolated compared to these big families, they are not very interested in the key in Liu Dong's hand. But if these are interested in
If the big family who is determined to get the key attacks Liu Dong, I believe these members of the Skull and Bones Society will not be stingy about helping.
If this is really the case, then Liu Dong should not think about developing his companies in the United States in the future! Even entering the European and American markets will be very difficult.
This is definitely not what Liu Dong wants!
And he has quite a few enemies, especially the Yamaguchi-gumi. Before he can deal with them, he is unwilling to provoke the more powerful Skull and Bones Society!
"Oh, I don't know how many of these super plutocrats who control the United States are interested in the key in my hand. Even one or two more will be enough!" Dian Dian held the simple and huge six-section key in his hand.
, a look of struggle appeared on Liu Dong's face. "If it doesn't work, it would be a good idea to hand over the keys and exchange them for suitable chips!"
Faced with such strong pressure, Liu Dong also had the idea of compromising.
After all, it would be unwise to go head-to-head with so many wealthy families for a key that may be related to ""!
Moreover, with only one key and in the absence of other clues, it was impossible to bring him the wealth accumulated by Nazi Germany. The difference between the payment and the reward was huge. Any rational person would know how to choose.
“We’ll see who has more chips then!”
Thinking of this, Liu Dong finally let go of his worries!
Despite this, this was the first time he had to compromise under strong pressure. It still made Liu Dong feel like he had eaten a dead fly, both disgusting and uncomfortable!
At the same time, it also awakened Liu Dong from the situation where he had been going smoothly since he obtained the relic Yuanguang. It made him realize that although he had possessed super wealth that no one else could obtain in his life in more than a year, he was still in a relationship with those who were really dealing with it.
For the wealthy families at the top of the world pyramid, his strength is still far behind!
Even if he has a close relationship with Li Yuncong, has support behind him, and has Del Roosevelt, a close friend with a profound background abroad, these are destined to be just a network of relationships, not his own strength!
It can only be borrowed, but cannot be used as a support at critical moments!
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Dong naturally thought of how to improve his strength and status. Since he was destined to be unable to enter politics, developing in the business world was undoubtedly the best, fastest, and most suitable way for him.
If he can also become a world-class tycoon, I am afraid that even if the Harriman family knows that the key is in his hand, at most they will seek cooperation instead of openly bringing him to the door and threatening him like yesterday!
However, if he wants to become a real super chaebol, he cannot do it just by relying on the jewelry and hotel industries he is currently engaged in. Real estate is possible, but compared to steel, technology, chemicals, petroleum, minerals, aviation, banking and finance, it is still lagging behind industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Some.
And judging from the growth experiences of super consortiums around the world, the core industries they control are almost all heavy industrial assets, as well as the core banking and financial industries!
Industry and banks are also the two legs that make up the super chaebol, and one is indispensable!
If Liu Dong also intends to reach the top of the pyramid, change from chess to a chess player, and be respected by people, not just an entrepreneur and collector, then he must develop his industries and further
Expand and form a consortium.
However, the formation of any consortium is accumulated slowly over a long period of time, and Liu Dong was obviously unwilling to wait for such a long time.
Therefore, the only thing that can accelerate the formation of Liu's consortium is large-scale investment, and investment requires a huge amount of money.
Money is not created out of thin air, but Liu Dong, who possesses the primordial light of relics, can find wealth the fastest.
Most of the treasures Liu Dong discovered in the past were of a casual nature, and he rarely took the initiative to look for them.
Now, along with his desire for precious art and money, Liu Dong has for the first time the idea of actively searching for the treasures sunk in the ocean and hidden on land.
Of course, these are all things for later, the most important thing now is to participate in the Christie’s auction in front of us!
"Dong, do you think I look beautiful dressed like this?"
Just when Liu Dong was sitting on the sofa and meditating, Ivanka walked out of the room.
"Beautiful, my Ivanka is naturally beautiful. She looks beautiful in anything she wears!"
Looking at this moment, she is wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam with a white background and broken blue flowers, full of oriental charm, her round and plump thighs are wrapped in transparent crystal stockings, and she is wearing beige 5-inch high heels. Coupled with her long golden shawl hair and exquisite and beautiful facial features,
As well as her tall and curvy figure, Liu Dong’s eyes lit up with Ivanka Trump’s charm, and she quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Really?"
"certainly!"
Liu Dong's appreciation made Ivanka feel happy. After turning around in a circle, she threw herself into Liu Dong's open arms and gave her a sweet kiss.
"A woman should look like the one who pleases her", this sentence is a universal truth.
Smelling the delicate body fragrance on the tip of his nose, feeling the tenderness in his arms, and the soft and sweet taste on his lips, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little excited.
If he had not attended the Christie's auction soon and was running out of time, Liu Dong would definitely have executed the charming and silky beauty in front of him on the spot, allowing her to experience the power of Chinese men who are several times more powerful than their African counterparts.
"Tsk, let's go, otherwise we'll be late!" Liu Dong said after pushing Ivanka away with difficulty.
"Um!"
After a soft response, Ivanka, who had a blushing face, stretched out her lilac tongue and licked her red lips. Her charming charm and beauty almost made Liu Dong unable to control herself.
"You little devil, I will punish you severely when you come back!" Liu Dong lightly scratched the back of Ivanka's tall nose, and then pulled the smiling beauty out and left!
The Christie's auction was still held at the Hilton Hotel. By the time Liu Dong got out of the red Porsche with Ivanka, many media reporters had already gathered around him, and a red carpet stretched straight from the door to the inside of the hotel.
This scene is similar to the red carpet at the Hollywood Oscar Awards. Although this is not Liu Dong’s first time participating in an auction, he has never experienced this kind of battle!
But in comparison, Ivanka is much more calm!
"Look, supermodel Ivanka Trump!"
"Who is the man next to her? I haven't heard of Miss America having a boyfriend?"
"Big news! Miss America and supermodel Ivanka Trump's boyfriend is Asian!"...
Accompanied by voices of surprise or joy, the surrounding camera flashes rang continuously, and several people holding microphones even remembered that they wanted to continue rushing forward. Fortunately, the hotel arranged a lot of bodyguards this time, so Liu
Dong was not harassed.
Despite this, Liu Dong still frowned. He liked a low-key life. He really didn't want to be looked at under a magnifying glass like those movie and TV stars every day. Even when he went out on the street or went to a shopping mall, he had to wear one like a thief.
Mask, if this is really the case, what is the difference between it and going to jail? This kind of day is not what Liu Dong expected.
So he didn't stop after getting off the car and strode directly into the hotel with Ivanka.
"Ivanka, I didn't expect you to be so famous. They all seem to know you?"
After leaving these annoying memories outside the hotel door, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to ask.
"Um!"
Nodding, after hesitating for a while, Ivanka said with some anxiety: "Dong, don't you like it?"
"No, I'm just not used to it!"
Liu Dong originally wanted to persuade her to devote more energy to her career at Wharton, but considering the differences in living habits and philosophies between foreign and domestic countries, he still did not say this.
Hearing this, Ivanka Trump was relieved. She was really afraid that Liu Dong would have any strange emotions toward her because she was a model and was in the spotlight.
"I heard that Easterners, especially Chinese, are very conservative in their thinking. I wonder if Eastern is like this, and there are also his family members!" Thinking of this, Ivanka became worried about gains and losses again.
"Maybe I should consider changing my career!" Ivanka thought to herself.
