The Rothschild family, as the world’s foremost family, has through centuries of operation, achieved deep penetration in countries worldwide and across all industries.
The European and American automobile industry has a history of over a hundred years, once leading the world. Such a vast industry, the Rothschild family naturally laid out plans long ago. Not to mention these European and American enterprises, even Japanese and Korean automobile companies, as well as supply chain enterprises in related fields of automobiles, the Rothschild family holds shares or even controlling stakes.
Achieving this is actually not difficult for them. The Rothschild family most of the time does not directly invest in enterprises, as that would be too troublesome for them, because many industries require in-depth understanding and evaluation, then screening and background checks on related enterprises.
The core of the Rothschild family controlling these industries lies in large-scale financial investment and capital operations.
They have long possessed inexhaustible huge funds, as well as a large number of collateral families following them. As early as decades ago, they established various venture capital companies around the world, investing in mid-front enterprises and potential enterprises in each target industry.
For modern large enterprises, to achieve rapid development, the necessary path is financing. The Rothschild family, through various venture capital companies and investment funds, achieves shareholding in these enterprises.
Once these enterprises take their investment, they enter a stage of rapid development. The Rothschild family will integrate more industry resources for them, further accelerating their growth pace, and at the same time use resources to exchange for more shares, ultimately supporting the enterprise to grow bigger and stronger, while also elevating themselves to major shareholders or even controlling shareholders.
Koreans often say that Koreans cannot escape Samsung in their lifetime, because Samsung Group has long penetrated into all walks of life in Korea through capital operations.
Whether it is technological products or clothing, food, housing, and transportation, they cannot do without Samsung Group and the enterprises controlled or held by Samsung Group. It is possible that Samsung itself does not engage in toilet paper production, but behind the giants in Korea’s paper industry, there is Samsung Group’s shareholding. Buying a pack of toilet paper, there will be twenty to thirty percent, or even higher profits flowing into Samsung Group’s pocket.
Samsung’s coverage is only Korea, while the Rothschild family’s coverage is the entire Europe and America, a consortium that Europeans and Americans cannot escape in their lifetime. Everything in their lives has long been thoroughly penetrated by the Rothschild family.
Besides Europe and America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America are not blank areas for the Rothschild family. In Africa, South America, and Latin America’s energy and minerals, the Rothschild family has long completed the layout. In Asia, except for China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia were also taken advantage of by the Rothschild family after World War II. Especially Japan and Korea, their post-war economies rose relying on the United States. If American consortiums did not penetrate in advance, how could they complete post-war reconstruction and economic takeoff so quickly.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen actually does not need Steve Rothschild. After all, the industries Ye Chen was involved in before had little to do with the global supply chain. Even Isu Shipping is not a demander of the global supply chain, but provides logistics transportation for the global supply chain. Although ship manufacturing uses the supply chain, Isu Shipping is just a shipping company, procuring ships from the world’s top shipyards, rather than participating in manufacturing, so it does not have places where the supply chain is needed.
But now the situation is different. The automobile industry, as a star industry of modern industrialisation, is one of the industries in the world that relies most on the supply chain, and this happens to be what the Rothschild family excels at.
Thus, Ye Chen immediately picked up his phone and called Steve Rothschild, who was idling in Jinling.
Since Steve Rothschild came to Jinling to be responsible for the family’s entire Greater China region, he was mainly busy with three things. One was to quickly move the Greater China headquarters to Jinling, one was to increase investment in Jinling, and another was to find opportunities to get close to Ye Chen.
The first two things were progressing in an orderly manner, but the third thing was a bit difficult, because Ye Chen was running around every day, like a dragon seen only by its head but not its tail. He did not have much opportunity to contact Ye Chen.
Some time ago, the White Horse Island incident caused a worldwide uproar. Steve Rothschild could guess with his toes that such a big event was so neatly controlled, and let that old guy Bernard Arnault get huge benefits. It must be Ye Chen pushing behind the scenes.
Through this incident, he further realised Ye Chen’s abilities.
