In that era when money was paramount, on the stone pavement of Wall Street, there were three tycoons who controlled the wealth of the world. The most revered is the boss named BlackRock, who has a long hand and tentacles that reach all corners, and is said to have nearly $10 trillion in treasure in his pocket. He was followed by a slightly inferior but equally prestigious pioneer who controlled nearly $8 trillion in resources. As for the new force named State Street Global, although its assets are only 4 trillion US dollars, it is already shocking enough on this financial street.
Together, the three of them, known as the "Big Three", surpass the combined GDP of the entire 27 countries of the European Union plus Japan. Such a number, to ordinary people, is like an astronomical number, out of reach.
Behind these three giants, each has its own legends and secrets. BlackRock, the business empire forged by eight Jewish founders, and its leader, Larry Fink, is known as an authority in the financial world. Vanguard Pilot, founded by the legendary John Berg, the father of index funds, is still influential today.
If you dig deeper, you'll find that the Wellington Fund, the predecessor of Vanguard, was an established force that existed even earlier, in 1929, and was founded by Walter Morgan. It can be seen that behind the pioneer pilot, it is actually controlled by the old Morgan consortium. As for State Street Global, the background of its shareholders is directly pointed to Vanguard and BlackRock, as if their shadows are hidden behind the scenes of money.
Their stories have been circulated in the financial rivers and lakes for a long time, and their influence has quietly woven the economic network of the whole world. These three giants, with their wisdom and strategy, are like masters in the rivers and lakes, controlling the flow of every wealth and every economic turmoil. They are the truest legends of this era.
In this money world, in addition to the three giants, there are also some masters hidden in the shadows, they wear various colored vests, or the Fidelity Group, or the Berkshire Hathaway of Warren Buffett, or the Goldman Sachs and Blackstone Group that are famous in the financial world. On the surface, they seem to be independent, but in fact they are the shadows of the three giants, their chess pieces, quietly wandering on the chessboard of money.
In that so-called beautiful country, there is an old saying about the contest between two families, Rockefeller and Morgan, and the famous Rothschild is involved behind it. People on the rivers and lakes are whispering that these two major political parties and these two major families are just a chess game manipulated by the same group of people behind them.
Why pit the two parties? This is just to put on a good show of democracy, to make people believe that there are real heroes in this world. At the same time, it is also for balance, so that those heroes who want to overcome obstacles in the political arena understand how to survive in this world dominated by capital. In this beautiful country, their political arena is actually nothing more than a large-scale investment game, fighting left and right, and the ultimate winner is always the hidden power of money.
This kind of wisdom of two-sided betting has long been the basic rule of those Jewish consortia walking in the financial rivers and lakes. Under this rule, no matter who eventually rises to the top and has the right to speak, the real winners are always the financial giants who are smiling behind the scenes.
Heroes are the ones who are at the mercy of the world, but the real ones are often the gangs that hide behind them. Just like the PC rivers and lakes back then, Apple and Microsoft seemed to be fighting to the death, but in fact, there were three major gangs behind the manipulation. These three gangs, like the emperor, have Coca-Cola in their left hand and Pepsi in their right, manipulating the commercial avenues of the rivers and lakes.
They are also masters of the same road in the world of food and drink, and giants such as Unilever and Nestle are all pawns in their hands. Look at those well-known brands, Sony, HP, and Philips, all of which are in the bag of the two major consortiums, Pioneer and BlackRock.
As for those automobile and aircraft industries that gallop around the world, Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and even Airbus and Boeing, they also have the shadow of these three major consortia under their reputation. This is the truth of the rivers and lakes, on the surface, it looks like each family is competing for hegemony, but in fact, it has already been determined. In this war without gunpowder, no matter how unpredictable the market is, the ultimate winners are always those bigwigs who hide behind the scenes.
In those wars that control the world's meridians, oil and energy are the treasures in the rivers and lakes, and Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, and other famous factions are actually controlled by the hidden gangs of the three major conglomerates. They are like empires hidden in the shadows, silently ruling the world's four major granaries, chemical giants, giant ships of the food industry, Bayer, Gage, ADM, John Deere, Monsanto, behind these names, are the shadows of the three major conglomerates.
In the world of biomedicine, those well-known names, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Abbott, and GlaxoSmithKline, all have three major consortia behind them. These consortia are like the supreme in the rivers and lakes, and quietly, they have manipulated the lifeblood of the global medicine sea.
As for the rivers and lakes of entertainment, it is their world. Time Warner, Comcast and other world-famous entertainment masters, as well as Disney News Corporation, Netflix and other streaming media schools, on the surface, seem to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, they are also wandering in the chess game of the three major consortia. Behind the prosperity of Hollywood, there are the long-sleeved dances of those consortia. They are like hidden masters in the rivers and lakes, covering the sky with one hand, so that the laughter and laughter of the whole world are interpreted in the dreams they weave.
In this world, the Big Three not only control the game of money, but also firmly control the dissemination of speech and information. The Dow Jones, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and the Sun on Kirishima are all dancing in the hands of the Big Three.
Even the film giants that reflect the times, 21st Century Fox Film Studio, Fox News, etc., are also the three major consortia behind them. And those who make fashionable textiles and clothing, from the bus card of the common people, the trendy ZARA, to the Adidas and Nike running on the track and field, to the luxury Prada and LV, behind their names, there are the shadows of the Big Three.
In this beautiful country, almost ninety percent of the excellent enterprises, the financiers behind them are still the three guys who are in charge of money. It can be said that from the cradle of the people to the loess, their living consumption is under the control of the Big Three.
Why are these three giants rich? It turned out that they first accumulated wealth through the chaos of war, and then accumulated endless gold and silver through colonization and plunder. Even, there was a dark history in which they plundered countless treasures from our Great China through the Opium War. Their wealth is built on countless fires and sufferings.
In the troubled times, the three giants were like smuggling leaders, secretly accumulating wealth that surpassed the treasury under the shadow of war and colonization. Now, they are like the hegemons on the rivers and lakes, with the help of the powerful chess pieces of the beautiful country, they exert hegemony to dominate the world. With the dollar as a sword and finance as a shield, they turned newly printed banknotes into sharp arrows and shot them all over the world, looting those priceless assets, as if they were buying and selling without capital, and harvesting wealth everywhere.
In this world dominated by capital, it seems that it is not a lie to say that they control the world. For them, although I am just a scholar in the rivers and lakes, it is inconvenient to comment more. Finally, let me borrow a quote from Napoleon as a wrap-up to today's topic - money knows no borders, financiers don't talk about patriotism, they don't know what is noble, they only chase gold and silver treasures.
