Chapter 408: The organisation that controls the world

'Zhou Ming, please allow me to call you that. I want to ask you, what do you think the outside world should be like?'

Caitlyn asked. Zhou Ming frowned at this question, because the outside world has always been the place where Zhou Ming decides to go next. Zhou Ming's understanding of him knew only by name. At the same time, Ming also understood that since Caitlin would ask, it meant that it was not that simple.

Sure enough, Caitlin then asked, 'Do you think that the outside world is a gathering place for all the rich and powerful? Even there are also many family banks and insurance companies in the outside world. Every business tycoon who has left his name on the rich list has been to the outside world. So you think that as long as you have enough wealth, you can find your own way to the outside world?'

Zhou Ming was a little dazed and said, 'It seems that things are not that simple. Your Highness Caitlyn must find out more in Harrogate.'

'I said, please ask me about it, either Tracia or Caitlyn,' Caitlyn corrected again, and of course that was all she said.

'The The outside world is of course not that simple. If it really were just like that, the outside world would not be so mysterious. In Zhou Ming's current position and status, he still cannot fully understand it,' Caitlin said, 'In fact, the outside world is the gathering place for the rich. This is true. But any business tycoon who has left his name on the rich list has also been to the outside world, and that's also fine. After all, when a person's status reaches a certain height, some secrets can never be kept.'

Kate Lin said, changing the tone of her voice, 'But just taking a stroll in the outside world and then leaving, or being able to gain the qualifications to stay in the outside world, these are two fundamentally different things.'

'I believe that in your current position, you must have heard about the outside world more than once. I also believe that the people who could tell you about it must be business tycoons who have reached a certain level of status or politicians in high positions of power. However they only told you the name, and were either tight-lipped or gave some other excuse about the specific situation in the outside world. said with a sigh, 'They say this not because they are deliberately trying to fool you, but because they are just passers-by in the outside world. They don't really know the real situation in the outside world, so naturally they can't tell you.'

Zhou Ming face grew grave, because Caitlyn's words had hit the nail on the head. Zhou Ming recalled that the people who told him about the outside world were none other than Tong Gang Li Cheng from Gangcheng and Edward from Brighton . They were all very important figures in the local business and political circles, but when it came to talking about the outside world, they all just changed the subject. Now it seems that it wasn't that they were deliberately being evasive, it was just that they really didn't know!

Thinking about this Zhou Ming let out a heavy breath and then asked, 'So Your Highness Caitlyn, what exactly is the outside world like? Can you tell me?'

'Of course not no problem. In fact, to put it simply, the outside world is a huge organisation. This organisation is extremely powerful, especially its wealth, which can be described as terrifying. And it is through its vast wealth that this organisation controls the entire world.'

Caitlyn thought think and say, 'In this year's rich list, the top two are Warren Buffett and Carlos Slim Helú, but in fact their wealth does not belong to them. Or to put it more vividly, they are just a puppet put on stage for everyone to see, managing a portion of the wealth for the outside world. Otherwise, someone with a personal fortune of just a few billion would never be able to come up with tens of billions of dollars.'

'In fact, not not just these so-called richest people, but also the big conglomerate families. They are all stewards of this organisation called the outside world, and no matter how glorious these families are, they cannot change this fact. asked Caitlyn, 'For example, the struggle between the Down family and the Etridge-Wood family that you have just experienced is actually just a small game played by people in the outside world.'

'Game? 'Zhou Ming was very surprised and a terrible thought came to his mind.

Caitlyn nodded: 'I know this may be hard for you to accept, but it's true. After all, with control of the world's wealth, they will be very be bored, so they will constantly stir up competition between the two consortia until one side defeats the other.'

It really is like this exactly!

Zhou Ming let out a gasp, then let out a bitter laugh: 'This is what happens when I have too much money and nowhere to spend it. I buy two cups of soymilk, drink one and throw the other away; I buy two clothes, wear one and throw the other away; I set up two companies and watch one destroy the other.'

'Although I I don't understand what you're saying, but that's probably what you mean,' said Caitlin.

At this point, Zhou Ming really didn't know what kind of expression to make, because what he was saying was that on the Internet in later generations, many silk didn't matter often yy their own future wealth, but it was that kind of yy, it's just one company taking out another, but now, the outside world is so arrogant that it can incite one consortium family to go to war with another.

No wonder in the end the leader of the Daewood family, George, had no choice but to do what he did.

But...you have to understand that those were the Down and Daewood families! They were the core families of their respective consortia, controlling resources calculated in trillions of units. The fact that these two families were so willing to obey, not is that they must have an absolutely overwhelming strength that can destroy a family with the flick of a finger.

'If they really such power, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they could rule the whole world,' said Zhou Ming. 'But what kind of organisation is it? The legendary Childe House?

Caitlyn shook her head 'The old Sixth Empire? It's true that they once controlled the world's wealth, but to the outside world, they were just stewards who had gained control of more wealth through their own abilities.'

This answer was Zhou Ming's expectations. Perhaps the future generation of the Childerose family is being passed around the internet as something miraculous, but in reality, even in the same era, there were at least two other families in Europe that were on an equal footing with him . The so-called Sixth Empire may have been a real thing, but if it wasn't the Childress family's own bragging, it was a very biased name.

Not to mention that with the two world wars, the Childerose family has suffered heavy losses of wealth and is no longer in the same position as it once was.

Even if the family had transferred its wealth during the war and even controlled the Federal Reserve, it still could not be said to have wealth spread all over the world, and it could even be said to be far from it.

So if it wasn't the Childerose family, then who was it?

Zhou Ming looked doubtfully at at Caitlyn, who told him to calm down: 'Zhou Ming, I think since you don't know the outside world, you shouldn't be too impatient. As the old Chinese saying goes, haste makes waste. I think you remember what I told your students when they asked me the same question?'

'You mean those European aristocrats who moved from the surface to the shadows and manipulated the whole world behind their backs?' Ming asked. 'There's no benefit in rushing to know now, is there? To get an answer to this question, you have to start by truly understanding the United States. Are these the ones?'

Caitlin smiled and nodded: 'It seems that Ming Zhou has listened to me very carefully, which makes me very happy! So I want to say that in fact, I didn't say those words to your students before, I said them to you.'

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment and Caitlyn quickly explained to Ming: 'Don't be upset when I say this, but I can say responsibly that if it wasn't for you, Ming, it would be very difficult for me to interact with them, and it would be even more impossible to tell them everything.'

'And the reason I mentioned the United States is because the American system is more similar to the outside world. If you can first gain a complete understanding of the American system, then it will be much easier to understand the outside world next. This is a gradual process,' Caitlyn said.

'Is Her Highness Caitlyn finished?' Zhou Ming asked, looking at Caitlyn asked.

This time, Caitlyn was stunned because she never expected Zhou Ming to react like this after she finished speaking. So she nodded blankly, 'I'm done speaking. Do you have any questions, Zhou Ming?'

Zhou Ming sighed and said, 'There are no problems, just a little conflict of ideas.'

Zhou Ming said to Caitlin continued, 'I know that you are the heiress to Harrowsbourg and that you are very smart, so you will carry the aristocratic pride with you.'

'For example, just now when you mentioned my classmates from the finance class,' Ming gave an example, 'it is true that you don't have to answer their questions based on the facts, and you won't have any interaction with them, but you don't have to be so condescending, because they are not inferior to you.'

'Ming, I am very sorry apologise!' Caitlyn said.

Zhou Ming immediately took up Caitlyn's words and said to her, 'No, Your Highness Caitlyn, you don't need to apologise to me, because I know that this is an innate habit of yours. After all, you were born in Har and you are used to living above others. I am not criticising you for this, I just want to point out that our concepts differ.'

'Put simply, fundamental differences in our attitudes towards the most basic interpersonal relationships, so when it comes to marriage, I think you should consider it more carefully.'

Zhou Ming glanced at the time and stood up: 'It's getting late. Although my students have already tidied up the villa, I think you may have your own habits or arrangements, so I won't disturb your time. I think we should all go back and think more about the problems in the outside world. I will visit you again tomorrow.'

Zhou Ming finished speaking and turned towards the door walked away, but when Ming opened the door, Caitlin said to him, 'But I have decided on something, and I will not give it up!'
