Six hours later.
Daybreak.
Private jets are landing at the three major airports in New York. Since yesterday, the airports have increased security, as everyone knows this ans ’distinguished guests’ are arriving.
However.
No one knows exactly who they are.
Outside the airport.
A live broadcast vehicle had just stopped when the driver received a call from his boss.
"Co back."
"I just got a lead that many foreign finance..."
"This can’t be reported."
The boss said.
Yes.
The major consortiums give ERV a lot of face, but it doesn’t an they want to propagandize. Although the consortiums secretly control the economic and political direction of this country, they have always deliberately kept a low profile.
In the dia.
Besides ntioning the companies they control.
They rarely involve mber activities, let alone gatherings like this. The main purpose is still not to overly stimulate the public psyche, otherwise, just thinking about a gathering of these capitalists.
The psyche can easily beco unbalanced.
Therefore.
Everyone reached a consensus.
Do not report.
Under the intervention of these big shots, dia in Europe and the United States collectively kept silent.
Grand yet discreet.
...
Ge Family Manor.
In the morning.
By the creek.
Ge Feng pushed a stroller, carrying the pair of twins born at the end of last month, who were soon to be a month old. Being a father for a month felt very different. From now on, whenever he traveled far, he would have two more things to miss.
Next.
He must raise these two children well.
Raise them well.
This shouldn’t require too much worry, as the family has a set of quite effective education thods. Over the years, their generation has grown excellently, with none turning out wrong.
Beside him.
His wife Ling Ya, already recovered, still looked beautiful and charming.
At this mont.
Across the creek.
A dozen luxury cars were driving out of the manor.
Such a scene.
Was rarely seen inside the manor, as they usually traveled by plane.
"Grandfather’s car."
Ling Ya imdiately recognized it.
"Yes."
"Where are they going?"
"New York."
"Why not take a plane?"
"It’s a bit crowded over there today." Ge Feng’s face showed a hint of solemnity. With ERV’s ’coronation’, the Ge family, as the largest Chinese-Arican family in the United States, naturally received an invitation.
Only two seats.
One for his grandfather, the family head.
The other for his father, a congressman.
However.
Receiving an invitation.
Doesn’t an these consortiums consider them one of their own. Ultimately, Chinese people are ’outsiders’ in the United States, while Europeans and Aricans are insiders. This visit is mainly to serve as a foil, just to fill up the numbers.
South Korea.
Japan.
Saudi Arabia.
As long as they’re not Westerners, they’re all ’outsiders’.
"Crowded?"
Ling Ya asked curiously.
Spending all day taking care of the two children, she rarely paid attention to outside matters, let alone dia-ignored events.
"The ERV consortium has been officially recognized, and tonight they’re hosting a banquet in New York to celebrate. With all three airports already busy, they decided to drive instead, since it’s not far anyway."
Ge Feng explained simply.
"Oh, I see."
Ling Ya clicked her tongue.
Finally.
ERV completed its final preparations and leaped over the dragon gate.
"Now, where does ERV rank among Arican consortiums?" Ling Ya asked curiously.
Upon hearing this.
Ge Feng thought about it.
Shook his head.
"Hard to determine."
"Strength isn’t just about wealth; it’s also about heritage. ERV is a new consortium, and compared to the long-established ones that have perated Arican society for decades, it still has many shortcomings."
"Although to so extent, they have a voice in the decision-making layers, it’s limited to general affairs. If they directly confront old consortiums, there’s almost no chance of winning."
Ge Feng analyzed.
ERV was established too recently.
Not enough heritage.
Even if they use money to clear the way in the short term, heritage remains their biggest shortcoming. Simply put, they lack ’loyal’ people. Don’t forget, the old consortiums have long been part of U.S. decisions.
Step by step.
They’ve nurtured countless people.
Paid countless people.
Ford countless interest circles, as many things aren’t entirely about money. The old consortiums control Arica’s financial power and military direction, almost invincible.
Thus.
He has high hopes for ERV.
But doesn’t think ERV can rival old consortiums.
"So, if ranked, ERV would only be at the bottom." Ge Feng concluded.
"At the bottom, huh."
"Being at the bottom is already remarkable. It’s a tier upgrade; from ordinary rchants to a consortium influencing U.S. decisions. That’s a significant leap."
The weakest consortium.
Is still a consortium.
Far stronger than the Ge family.
"Moreover, this is just for now. As ERV’s strength increases and it gradually fills its various gaps and follows up on social influence, its chance to catch up with several other ranked consortiums is quite high."
The bottom.
Does not an it will always stay there.
Is ERV stagnant?
No.
Since its inception.
It has been constantly overturning and advancing.
-Gas.
-Live Broadcast.
-Videos.
-Instant Communication.
-Network Security.
-Face Recognition.
-Big Data.
-Cloud Computing.
-Microprocessor
-Smartphones.
-Internet of Things.
-Entertainnt.
-Security.
-Trust.
-Bank.
...
Counting the industries ERV is involved in, Ge Feng’s head started hurting. ERV has grown into a leviathan, and this is just its core business. The companies it owns and holds stakes in are even more extensive.
A typical company moves; this one runs.
No.
It flies.
This expansion speed supports its position today.
Push further.
Accumulate so heritage.
In the consortium hierarchy, perhaps ERV will achieve a higher rank.
So ti ago.
ERV extended an olive branch to collaborate with the Ge family, essentially a strategic alliance, but the Ge family didn’t imdiately agree, choosing to observe for a while. Normally, the Ge family wouldn’t have considered it.
However.
Within ERV’s consortium camp.
The core forces.
Are not just Westerners, differing from other European and Arican consortiums’ exclusivity, ERV adopts an economic alliance model, willing to cooperate with erging economic forces regardless of the country.
The conditions are much better than other European and Arican consortiums.
Therefore.
They quickly gathered nurous partners, with the Ge family still observing.
"Looks like Tang Qing will never beco the world’s richest man in this lifeti." Ling Ya laughed bitterly.
In the past.
A hundred billion dollars.
Was enough to beco the world’s richest.
But now.
It’s been raised six or seven tis. Tang Qing’s current net worth surpasses 200 billion yet only places him second. With ERV’s strength, the chairman’s property is unlikely to be surpassed by individuals.
"There’s no helping it; ERV ca out of the United States," Ge Feng said.
"Why not stop by Huaxia on the way back?" After the children’s first month, Ling Ya planned to visit Japan to gather family mbers and et her father and grandfather, who are all unable to leave.
The plan also included visiting Xin’an City.
City Waterfall.
Underwater World.
It’s now the world’s hottest attraction.
Cousin Jiao Han posted countless videos over there, making people itch to visit, and she heard Tang Qing had already visited.
They also planned to check it out.
"Okay, I really miss Tang Qing’s food." Ge Feng smacked his lips.
That taste.
Really irresistible.
