Chapter 826 The low-key Kadoorie family

Whether it is Mobil Oil Company or Exxon Oil Company, they are all descended from the once famous American Standard Oil Company.

Standard Oil Company was once the largest crude oil producer in the United States. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Standard Oil Company monopolized 95% of the U.S. refining industry and 90% of the oil transportation.

Oil industry, 25 percent of crude oil production.

Its founder, Rockefeller, is known as the "World Oil King".

However, it is a pity that in 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court defined the Standard Oil Company as a monopoly based on the Sherman Antitrust Act, and then the government came forward to forcibly split the Standard Oil Company into

More than thirty regional oil companies.

(As for the U.S. government’s habit of breaking up large enterprises in its own country, Yang Chen had to express his most sincere admiration.

Among all the companies in the world, only companies in the United States will consider the worry that they will be broken up by the government if they are too big. Other countries do not have such concerns.

This is also a place where the United States is awesome. The governments of other countries are always thinking about expanding the external influence of their own companies. It is best to be bigger, the better, and kill all their counterparts in other countries.

Only in the United States, the U.S. government holds a magnifying glass in its left hand every day, carefully watching every move of all companies, and threatens everyone with a big stick in its right hand not to go too far, and leave some soup for others, otherwise I will tear you apart.

of.)

The original Standard Oil of New York was later renamed Mobil Oil Company, and the original Standard Oil of New Jersey was renamed Exxon Oil Company. In this way, there are more than 30 regional oil companies. Two of them will merge into one company in the future, namely Exxon Oil Company.

Sam Mobil Oil Company has achieved the status of the world's largest oil company.

This shows how huge the Standard Oil Company was and how wealthy its founder, the Rockefeller family, was.

Although Mobil Oil Company has not yet merged with Exxon Oil Company, its strength is still underestimated. At any time, there are three industries in American companies that you can only think about in a big way and never underestimate.

Among the three industries, the first one is the banking industry, the second one is the arms industry, and the third one is the oil industry.

These three industries are the most important cornerstones for the United States to become a superpower. Anyone who masters one of these industries, or gains a say in the three industries, will have great influence.

After Mobil Oil Company and Exxon Oil Company merge in the future, they will immediately become the world's largest oil company. From this point, it is not difficult to see the strength of the two oil companies.

Putting aside the Mobil Company for now, even the Kadoorie family and Yang Chen did not dare to underestimate it.

Many people may be very unfamiliar with the Kadoorie family. The main reason is that the people in this family are very low-key. It can even be said that they are a bit too low-key.

On the surface, the Kadoorie family has only two well-known industries, one is the China Electric Power Company, and the other is the Hong Kong Grand Hotel. The most famous brand of the Hong Kong Grand Hotel is the Peninsula Hotel that we are all familiar with.

The Kadoorie family's involvement in the power and hotel industries is not limited to Xiangjiang. Their businesses in these two industries have already set foot overseas a long time ago.

Among them, the China Electric Power Company has established a preliminary cooperative relationship with the mainland. Nowadays, part of the power supply in the special zone is handled by the China Electric Power Company.

In addition, the power supply in Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and the latter two areas is all handled by China Electric Power Company, while Heung Kong Electric only provides power supply to Xiangjiang Island.

Although Xiangjiang Island is the most elite and prosperous area in Xiangjiang, with the continuous economic development of Kowloon and the New Territories, the economy has become more prosperous and the CLP Power Company has a wider business scope. It is obviously more advantageous.

In addition to the power and hotel industries, the Kadoorie family is also involved in various industries such as textiles, real estate, banking, rubber, carpets, warehousing, undersea tunnels, and shipyards.

It is no exaggeration to say that the real strength of the Kadoorie family is even greater than that of the so-called four major foreign banks in Hong Kong. In particular, the Kadoorie family's control over family companies involved in the industry is far beyond what the four major foreign banks can match.

, whether it is the China Electric Power Company or the Hong Kong Grand Hotel, the Kadoorie family's shareholding ratio exceeds 50%, reaching full control, which directly eliminates the prying eyes of the outside world.

No matter how good your teeth are, facing such a family power, no matter whether you win or lose, you will not gain anything in the end.

Of course, what worries Yang Chen the most is not the strength of the Kadoorie family, but their Jewish identity.

What does the word Jew mean?

No introduction needed

The founders of many of the famous Wall Street financial institutions, such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bache, Salomon Brothers, and KKR, are Jewish.

Famous fund managers Soros and Lambert are also Jews. In later generations, Israel defeated all countries in the Middle East with the power of one country. The reason is simply the support of the United States and the support of Jews around the world.

This race is similar to the Chaozhou people behind Li Chaoren. Both belong to the same nature.

Although Jewish identity will not bring actual wealth to the Kadoorie family, the influence brought by these three words can allow the Kadoorie family to invisibly gain benefits that others do not have.

The China Electric Power Company couldn't care about it, so Yang Chen naturally could only focus on Xiangjiang Electric Light. In the previous life, Xiangjiang Electric Light changed hands several times and went back and forth, causing it to miss the best period to enter the inland area.

You know, with the entry of the 1980s, after the economic development of the inland special zones was affirmed by the inland government, the entire Guangdong and even coastal areas were gradually opened up.

This period is the best opportunity for Xiangjiang Electric to enter the inland. If it is missed, when the inland has established its own coastal power system, it will not be Xiangjiang Electric's turn to get a share of the pie.

For infrastructure such as electricity, the construction speed in the interior is not much slower than that of open highways and subways, and by the way, the construction of high-rise buildings later.

Before the construction of highways, subways and high-rise buildings began, the power system had already been set up.

Modern industrialization is inseparable from the power system. Without a perfect power system, the machines will not be able to operate. If the machines cannot operate, how can we carry out production and construction?

Therefore, the inland and coastal power systems were not established after the economy developed later, but were all set up before the economy developed.

Boss Yang, who has personal experience of the so-called China's speed, does not want the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, which he has pinned his hopes on, to miss this opportunity to enter the inland power industry.

Because once this kind of infrastructure is missed, there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future.
