New technology?
Two consortiums?
This simple sentence... The information it revealed was enough to leave them utterly shocked.
Never mind the new technology—Su Chen didn’t reveal what it was, so they naturally had no idea how valuable it might be. But the two consortiums he mentioned were more than enough for them to process.
Anything that could be called a consortium was hardly some unknown entity. A consortium, short for a financial capital group, is a monopolistic entity formed by the merger of massive banks and corporations, controlled by a handful of financial oligarchs.
Usually, these consortiums are formed by one or even several families, meaning they must control assets worth at least a trillion USD to even qualify for the title.
Everyone stared blankly at Su Chen. How had it been that in just a short time, the people he was dealing with had become those major consortiums?
Chen He, who wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area, asked meekly, "Young Master Su, may I ask which two consortiums they were?"
It wasn’t just Chen He who was curious; Si Cong and the other two were also wondering about the background of these two consortiums.
"It’s no secret. The two consortiums are Morgan and BlackRock."
As soon as he said this, Si Cong and the others weren’t just stunned—they were completely dumbfounded.
"M-Morgan? BlackRock?" Si Cong repeated with a stutter. He couldn’t believe his ears, mainly because the origins of these two consortiums were just too staggering.
You could say they are two of the top consortiums in the entire world. Their combined power is enough to influence the economic development of small and medium-sized countries; they are truly wealthy enough to rival nations.
Take the well-known financial predator Soros, for example. Over a decade ago, the power of his fund alone was enough to turn the financial markets of Asia upside down.
And in front of top-tier consortiums like Morgan and BlackRock... this financial predator was a complete amateur.
It took a long while for everyone to snap out of it. They all looked at Su Chen with complicated expressions, especially Si Cong, who scooted his chair closer and closer to Su Chen until they were almost touching.
"Young Master Su, Brother Su, next time you have a big event like this, remember to bring your little brother along!" Si Cong said, grabbing Su Chen’s arm with a pleading tone.
Seeing Si Cong act like this, Qin Fen, who was off to the side, was also eager to try.
"Get off, get off, get off! Can’t you be a little more serious? Anyone who didn’t know better would think I did something to you. Move your chair back!" Su Chen said irritably, swatting his hand away from his arm.
Dealing with those top consortiums is no walk in the park. And here they are, all eager to get involved. If they really got caught up in it, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry when things went south.
"Let’s be serious for a moment!"
At these words, Si Cong and the others immediately sat up straighter, and even the goofy grins on their faces vanished.
Su Chen’s gaze swept over each of their faces before he said slowly, "If you ever have the chance to deal with certain consortiums in the future, I advise you to be extra careful. You don’t want to get tricked and end up happily counting money for the person who schemed against you."
"Huh?" They all looked astonished. For Su Chen to say something like this, he must have gone through something in America to offer such a warning.
"GULP... Old Su, now I’m getting more and more curious about just how big this deal of yours was!"
As expected of the most worldly one in the group, Si Cong was the first to recover from the shock.
Hearing this question, Qin Fen and the others also came to their senses and turned their gazes to Su Chen.
