America's No. 1 financial conglomerate

Chapter 625 The Mastermind Behind It

Ernst was trying to find out who the enemy was. He couldn't just start fighting randomly without knowing who the enemy was; that wouldn't solve anything.

To strike a snake, strike its vital spot, but first you need to know where that spot is.

While he was conducting his investigation through Massim, a discussion about him was also taking place in a seemingly ordinary building in the lower part of the city.

Inside the room, the air was filled with the rich aroma of a blend of top-quality cigars and aged whisky.

Several genuine leather sofas surrounded a large ebony coffee table. The people sitting on it, though dressed modestly, could not hide the power and authority they exuded.

"Hmph." A low, cold snort, laced with undisguised contempt, rang out. "Child of the Internet?"

"The future world's richest person?"

"It's just a media hype."

"A business tycoon?" Another old man shook his head, also with a disdainful look. "In the face of real power, his achievements are nothing but child's play."

"A newly emerging financial giant?"

"I think it's nothing special."

The old man paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "He's like Bill Gates, a large tree with unstable roots. On the surface, he's lush and leafy, seemingly unshakeable, but if the right methods are used, he could be cut down at any time."

"If even Bill Gates has to cooperate with us and bow to reality, who does he think he is?"

"Let's see how he breaks this deadlock. If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how arrogant he is. He's always immersed in media hype and living in a fabricated world."

"That's right." The man opposite him raised his glass, his face beaming with joy, as if he had just gotten married.

"This time we're going to show him what the real world is like and who holds the power."

If any media were here, they would surely recognize this old man as Ron Lauder, the head of the Estée Lauder Companies.

He also has another identity: an executive member of the World Zionist Organization.

The old man who just spoke was Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress.

His Seagram Group is one of Canada's leading multinational corporations, wielding considerable influence in both Canadian politics and business.

Besides these two, Sheldon Adelson, the head of the Sands Group and one of Elephant's biggest financiers, who had an indirect confrontation with Ernst, was also sitting in the room.

That old guy was as happy as if he were getting married; that's him.

Morton Klein was the national president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States.

Baruch Aiton is an Israeli labor leader, chairman of the American Zionist Workers Organization, and a member of the U.S. executive committee of the World Congress of Jews.

The entire room was filled with prominent figures from both the political and business worlds.

However, they now share only one common identity: the restored Jews.

"Louis, you seem to have something on your mind?" Ron Lauder put down his wine glass and looked at the man sitting in the main seat, wondering what was wrong with him.

Louis snapped out of his reverie, forced a smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, swirled it in his palm, and said, "I have a feeling something's not right."

"Something's not right?" Edgar Bronfman asked. "Isn't everything going in the direction we expected?"

"Ernst's reaction is a bit off." Louis said, taking a sip of red wine. After setting down his glass, he said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether he has any new retaliatory measures, he should respond to us."

"At the very least, whether it's Long-Term Capital Management's actions or Ernst Asset Management's dumping, they should continue."

"Our do-or-die strategy is under a lot of pressure. It should put pressure on us, not act like nothing happened."

This was something he couldn't understand; the other party was too calm, so calm that it made him somewhat worried.

"Can he really investigate us?" Edgar Bronfman scoffed at Ernst, seeing him as just a lucky kid who'd gotten lucky.

"He probably still naively believes that the entire Wall Street is united to kill him. Can he even understand the deeper power struggle behind this?"

Can't we find them?

Louis didn't think so.

If Ernst were really that naive, could he have succeeded one after another?

Good luck might bring you success once or twice, but it won't keep you successful forever.

Seeing that everyone in the room was somewhat drunk, he didn't want to spoil the fun any longer, so he could only have his men keep a close eye on things.

Although he sat in the main seat, he was fundamentally different from these people.

These people are fanatical believers in the restoration of Judah. ​​Although their work is mainly based in North America, Jerusalem is the holy land in their hearts.

He simply wanted to use this power to propel his family back to the pinnacle of American power and reclaim what the Rothschild family had lost.

Louis Rothschild.

His family has had close ties with the Jewish community in the Middle East since his grandfather's generation.

His father, Louis de Rothschild, and his generation were among the biggest supporters of the Restoration of Judaism.

He provided substantial funds to Jewish settlements in Palestine, supporting agricultural development and infrastructure construction. He proposed monetary diplomacy, promoted the practice of Zionism, and laid the economic foundation for the establishment of the Little Tyrant's state.

Through the efforts of three generations, coupled with the Rothschilds' own Jewish identity, their family has now become one of the leaders within the Little Tyrant (小霸王) company.

However, unlike these people, what Rothschild really wanted to do was to use these American Zionist Jews to re-enter the political and business circles of America and once again become the king of this land.

In hindsight, abandoning North America and betting on Europe was a complete mistake.

When the Rothschild family realized this and wanted to return to the land, they were blocked by their former protégés.

After World War II, they realized that Europe becoming a vassal state of the United States was an inevitable fact.

At that time, they had two choices: North America or polar bears.

Large numbers of Jews came to Polar Bear, more than to North America, but the outcome clearly showed that it was a mistake.

Then they began a roundabout approach, increasing their support for Subor and allocating substantial funds to help them with construction.

Things are starting to look up.

The Jewish people have risen in America, and he will not allow anyone to undermine them.
