Rebirth in America

Shortly after the Jonathans left, Alex had been thinking about the future direction of the Carpenter family. He felt that the family had established a firm foothold in many fields and had a considerable position. In a short period of time, it will be impossible to continue to make greater progress.

"Next, do you have to slow down?"

Alex thought about it carefully and felt that the Carpenter family still lacked something. That is, the Carpenter family failed to own a bank. If this continues, the Carpenter family is like a giant lacking blood and will easily fall.

Liquidity is the blood of an enterprise. Once it loses its hematopoietic function, it must have external channels for blood transfusion, and banks can play this role.

However, he has to act according to the rules. It was impossible to rashly break into the financial market like before. After all, he was already an insider.

Alex quickly made an appointment with some people to meet. He first met with Lawrence, the current head of the Rockefeller family. This was their first meeting this year. Originally, Lawrence was just the heir to the Rockefeller family, but now he has taken over the entire family business.

This incident happened not long after John Rockefeller appeared. It may be that John realized from Alex that it does not matter whether the head of a family is experienced or not. What is important is that he must have a positive and enterprising spirit.

Because of this, John turned around and supported his grandson in taking the position, and Lawrence was able to rise to this position.

Lawrence naturally had nothing to object to Alex's ideas and requests. He even actively invited the head of the Morgan family to come out and meet him. JPMorgan Chase Bank plays a pivotal role in the financial world. With the support of the Morgan family, Alex's ideas can be realized in minutes.

The ancestors of the Morgan family immigrated to the United States during the gold rush in the New World in the early 17th century, and they have continued the business tradition that they rely on for survival. Their family has successively run cafes, hotels, invested in stocks, opened banks, etc.

It was J.P. Morgan who truly established the Morgan empire. Their family businesses include Bankers Trust Company, Guaranty Trust Company, First National Bank, City Bank, Contract International Bank, etc.

The Morgan Alliance, which is closely linked to the Morgan family, includes major companies in the United States, with Morgan as the axis for chain leadership of the board of directors, and is interconnected with major financial institutions with less than 200,000 in large financial capital, thus forming a The "Morgan System" with a large structure and tight organization.

This financial group accounts for 33% of the financial capital in the United States. The total value is nearly 20 billion US dollars! There are also US$12.5 billion in insurance assets, accounting for 65% of the U.S. insurance industry.

In terms of production, there are 47 directors of Morgan Company among 35 major companies in the United States, including U.S. Steel, General Motors, Kennegg Special Copper Company, Texas Gulf Sulfur Company, Continental Petroleum Company, General Electric Company, etc. Morgan's infiltration into the railroad industry is well known.

At the same time, in the communications industry, it also owns IT (International Telephone and Telegraph Company), Transamerica Cable, Postal Cable, AT\u0026T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company), etc. Morgan Alliance has total assets of US$51 billion, and includes major trust companies such as Yanakoda Copper Mountain, Westinghouse Electric, and United Metal Carbide.

Adding up all of the above, adding up all the total assets, excluding duplication, the Morgan system before the Panic had a total capital of $74 billion. Equivalent to 1/4 of all corporate capital in the United States. 167 directors came out of Morgan and controlled the entire Morgan system. Execute the instructions issued by Morgan on Wall Street. What a hegemony this is!

It can be said that if Alex wants to squeeze into the financial industry without the permission of the Morgan family, they will have a way to launch attacks from various fields and squeeze the living space of the Carpenter family.

But things are different now. Alex is no longer the stupid boy he used to be. At the same time, he has also obtained the "Ring of Power." When he was negotiating with these peripheral forces of the pyramid. No need to waste any words, just put on his ring and show it in front of them intentionally or unintentionally.

When they saw this special triangular ring, those who knew it almost stared out of their eyes. They usually have only heard of the "Ring of Power", and the chance of actually seeing it is very low. Plus when this ring appears on a young man like Alex. Even more unbelievable.

However, they quickly calmed down. It's like you haven't seen anything. In fact, they were shocked to the core. You know, the people who can own this kind of ring are all old guys.

These old guys rarely appear in front of people for various reasons. They believe that maintaining a sense of mystery can maintain their authority. Because of this, only people in the circle know Jonathan, Angelina and others, and even Director Hoover does not know whether they are official members of the Freemasonry.

Alex's behavior cannot be said to have violated any rules, but compared to others, he seemed too high-profile.

Such high-profile behavior soon paid off.

The head of the Morgan family said to him very respectfully: "If you want to own your own bank, I happen to have some small banks for sale! If you just want to get priority rights for loans, you only need to join our Morgan Alliance. That’s it. We can do equity cross-overs, or joint investment and cooperation, etc.”

Alex looked at the other party thoughtfully, and asked slowly: "What if I want them all? The bank wants them too, and the equity too!"

"As you wish!" the Morgan family leader finally said.

Every few days, Alex received some documents, which were the legal ownership documents of several banks, as well as a small share of JPMorgan Chase Bank's equity certificates.

As for what the other party wanted, he didn’t mention a word!

It seems that the head of the Morgan family wants to build a good relationship with him through this method. You know, these people who have no room to get in want to squeeze into the circle. In addition to timing and luck, it also requires connections.

Who knows if one day I will have the opportunity to advance to a higher level. Then someone in the circle can help me by saying a word, and maybe it will be possible.

Alex didn't want to take other people's things for nothing, but he couldn't just return the things, so in the end he had to reluctantly accept them.

After having several small banks on hand, Alex immediately broke them up, reorganized them, and then injected huge sums of money. soon. A bank called Carpenter's opened. With the support of the Carpenter family business, the bank soon had branches in major cities across the United States. All employees of the Carpenter family business are paid through this bank.

Compared with a giant like JP Morgan Chase, this small bank is just a mosquito-like peer and is not worthy of attention at all.

But this is enough. Alex just wants to build the Carpenter family's hematopoietic organization to ensure that the Carpenter family's capital chain can run smoothly.

Using the ring to gain support from the Morgan family was only Alex's initial attempt. He also wanted to see further how much power this ring represented.

There is a good goal at the moment. That's Director Hoover!

He has now found out that the attack on his parents was caused by orders from! Although there is no conclusive evidence. Director Hoover would not be stupid enough to leave evidence behind. But judging from various signs. The gangsters who tried to kidnap the Carpenters were actually under control.

In this case, Alex unceremoniously raised the sword of revenge!

Originally, he wanted to use this name to test the attitudes of other organization members by holding meetings. All the members of this organization are like dragons, and it is really difficult for Alex to find them. However, since he is already a formal member of the organization, he naturally has ways to contact others.

That's a special way to connect. Need to communicate one by one.

Unexpectedly, when they learned about this matter, they had no interest in continuing to learn more. Instead, they all said: "This trivial matter is not worth holding a meeting at all!"

"That's right. It's not worth wasting time for such a peripheral person!"

Those members didn't show up at all. They all just responded to Alex’s messages through special channels. Only John Rockefeller showed up in person and told Alex to stop sending this message to others.

John explained: "Now that you have identified who tried to kidnap your parents, then go ahead and take revenge! As long as it does not involve the interests of other members, no matter what you do is fine!"

Alex hesitated, and asked John: "What if the Illuminati opposes it? According to my understanding, you also wanted to replace Hoover before, but because of the Illuminati..."

"This is the same thing! We did have some internal conflicts at that time, so we let him continue to stay in that position. The situation is different now, we don't need an uncontrollable dog! Even the Illuminati are happy to Saw a disobedient dog being dealt with!”

"I understand, you want me to kill Hoover myself?" Alex understood somewhat. It seems that no matter how much contribution Hoover made to the Freemasonry, he would not be able to squeeze into this circle for a day. Not a day goes by without being treated like one of our own!

"Revenge! Of course, you have to do it yourself to be happy, don't you think?" John smiled at him, then reached out and touched the edge of the hat, giving a slight gesture: "Then that's it, I still have For other things, if they are not very important, please don’t disturb me!”

Soon, outsiders of the Freemasonry handed over relevant information about Director Hoover. In addition, there are many people waiting for his orders. With just one order, he can make Hoover die in various ways, such as assassination, car accident, natural death, etc.

Everyone was waiting for his choice, and finally Alex chose to let Hoover die in his sleep. He was a nice guy and didn't want Hoover to suffer so much before he died.

Just like history, Director Hoover was found dead in the bedroom by the maid one morning. The quiet and natural departure made many people breathe a sigh of relief. As for who would take over the position that Hoover left, that was not Alex's concern.

This is the first time Alex has exercised his membership powers since becoming a Freemason!

After trying the power of the "Ring of Power", Alex no longer dared to wear it casually, but carefully hid it. Sometimes, when he was alone with his thoughts, he pondered the question: "Why me?"

Yes, if the two mysterious organizations of Freemasonry and Illuminati choose members, there will definitely be many suitable candidates. But they chose Alex, which couldn't help but make him feel a little strange and uneasy.

Logically speaking, they should choose candidates who have been waiting in line for decades or even almost a lifetime.

But why did they choose themselves in the end? This was something he couldn't understand!

"Is it for the sage's legacy?"

Alex thought of the biggest possibility, and that was for the "key" left behind by Tesla! The key to the sage's legacy!

For this reason, he once asked his grandparents! When he raised this question, Jonathan and Angelina looked serious, and they felt the need to make this matter clear to Alex.

"We naturally considered various factors when we chose you to join the organization! The legacy of the sage is also one of the reasons!" Jonathan patted Alex on the shoulder and continued: "However, if you think we are just for an ancient If the legacy of civilization chooses you, then you would be looking down on yourself!"

Angelina also nodded and said: "Yes! This inheritance is very important. It is a precious inheritance for all human beings! But can you get the inheritance with the key? I don't think so!"

"Once upon a time, some people also got the key from Tesla's manuscript, or they thought they got the key! As a result, a lot of damage was caused. An entire warship disappeared while searching for the inheritance. Got it!"

Hearing this, Alex was shocked: "If so many people are missing, it must be a disaster!"

"Yes, UU Kanshu www.uukkanshu.net" Jonathan sighed: "Since then, we have considered another way to obtain this inheritance! As for the key you obtained, that is only one of the ways, not The only way!"

Alex was a little confused, and he asked: "Since there are other ways, why didn't you earlier..."

"Because that method is harder than reaching heaven!"

"Haha, it's true, it's just a little bit harder than climbing to the sky!"

Jonathan and his wife laughed with unknown meaning. No matter how much Alex asked, they just laughed without explaining anything.

Now this legendary couple has left the United States and headed to the battlefield in Vietnam! Even if Alex had any questions, there was no one to ask him.

ps:

Recently I was reading "The Illustrated Book of Destruction of Luck". Cuttlefish wrote it very well, which made the home cat very happy to read it. I don't even have time to write a book!
