Penguin Corporation was a household name in Oprana.
Anyone who had ess to the inte would definitely know about them.
This was because Penguin Corporation’s software had prated into the daily lives of almost everyone. Whether it was social software or entertainment games, arge part of them belonged to Penguin Corporation. Moreover, Penguin Corporation’s market value was growing rapidly every year. The profit for one year alone could feed the residents of a whole city.
So how terrifying was it to own 51% of Penguin Corporation’s shares?
Many people thought that Penguin’s biggest shareholder was Harvey Martin, but now that Connor heard Thomas’s words, he realized that Penguin’s biggest shareholder was not Harvey at all, but rather Rockefeller Consortium, which he had never heard of.
At first, when Connor heard the name Rockefeller, he thought it was just an ordinary foreign investmentpany. However, through Thomas’s example, he finally realized what kind of existence Rockefeller Consortium was.
“I didn’t expect Rockefeller to be so powerful as to hold a majority of Penguin’s shares. It’s unbelievable…” Connor could not help but sigh softly.
“Not only does Rockefeller own Penguin Corporation’s shares, but they also hold shares in other bigpanies. For example, Alibaba, iPhone, and Weiruan Group are among the toppanies in the world, and Rockefeller has shares in them—at least 30% of their shares…”
Thomas told Connor that he could quickly understand Rockefeller’s strength, so he casually gave Connor a few famous bigpanies.
After Connor heard Thomas’s words, he was stunned. He looked at Thomas’s position with a dumbfounded expression.
In Connor’s eyes, controlling so many shares of Penguin was already very terrifying. He didn’t expect Rockefeller to control so many shares of a bigpany. This was simply terrifying!
“This Rockefeller is too awesome!”
Connor could not help but sigh softly.
“Hehe, Mr. McDonald, actually, thepanies 1 mentioned just now are just the tip of the iceberg when ites to Rockefeller Consortium. Rockefeller actually controls the natural gas andmunications business of several countries, and they make the most money in those industries. The examples I gave just now were just to let you quickly understand what the Rockefeller Consortium does!”
Thomas looked at Connor and paused for a moment before continuing, “To put it simply, the Rockefeller Consortium doesn’t actually operate on any projects. They are only responsible for investing, but they don’t participate in thepany’s operations. Take Penguin Corporation as an example: when Harvey Martin founded Penguin Corporation, the people in Rockefeller would seek him out so they could invest in thepany. They would buy thepany’s shares and then let the Penguin’s president run thepany however he likes. If Penguin makes money in the future, then Rockefeller will also make money. If Penguin loses money, Rockefeller will consider whether to continue investing or not. If they don’t invest, they will choose to withdraw their investment…”
“To be able to invest in so many powerful bigpanies, Rockefeller must be really huge!” Connor looked at Thomas and sighed softly. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“I think there are two reasons why Rockefeller is so sessful. The first reason is that Rockefeller is rich, and the second reason is that they have extremely good foresight!” Thomas said slowly.
Connor looked at Thomas and hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “I now know how powerful Rockefeller is, but 1 don’t understand what they have to do with you helping me today.”
Thomas looked at Connor from head to toe, thenughed and said, “”Mr.
McDonald, do you know who founded Rockefeller?”
Connor was stunned for a moment and said with a frown, “Could it be Steven Lee?”
“Mr. McDonald, your guess is correct. Rockefeller Consortium was indeed founded by the old Chairman!”
Thomas nodded with a smile.
A trace of surprise shed across Connor’s eyes as he asked with an excited expression, “Since Rockefeller was founded by Steven Lee, and 1 have inherited Mr. Lee’s inheritance, this means that Rockefeller is now mine, right?”
Connor wasn’t very interested in Mr. Lee’s other businesses; after all, he himself wasn’t cut out for business. However, if Connor could be the boss of this big consortium, he would still be very happy. Rockefeller controlledpanies like Penguin and Alibaba that Connor coulde into contact with in his daily life.
Connor felt excited just thinking about bing a major shareholder of Penguin Corporation!
“Rockefeller Financial Group has nothing to do with you now!”
However, Thomas’s words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured directly on Connor’s head, extinguishing all the fantasies in his heart.
“No, didn’t you just say that the Rockefeller consortium was established by Mr. Lee? Since it was established by Mr. Lee, and I am his sessor, how can Rockefeller have nothing to do with me?” Connor asked Thomas helplessly.
“Rockefeller was established by the old Chairman, but that was decades ago. Now, Rockefeller has nothing to do with ourpany!” Thomas said slowly.
When Connor heard this, he was extremely speechless. He frowned and said, “Since this Rockefeller has nothing to do with us, why are you telling me so much?”
“Mr. McDonald, don’t be so hasty. Let me finish first!” Thomas replied calmly.
Connor raised his head and nced at Thomas, then pursed his lips and said, “Alright, go ahead!”
“Rockefeller was indeed founded by the old Chairman, and it was also he who brought Rockefeller from an unknown small investmentpany to one of the top investmentpanies in the world today. It can be said that arge part of the credit for Rockefeller’s achievements today is due to Mr. Lee!”
“And then?”
“But then, a traitor appeared in Rockefeller. In order to take Rockefeller away from the old Chairman, they did not hesitate to install a time bomb on the chairman’s private ne.. Fortunately, the bodyguards on the ne discovered it in time, and the old chairman survived!”
