He said he wanted to "educate" Lydia, but he also needed to comfort her sister first.
It can be seen that Amanda has accumulated enough enthusiasm. When she entered the bedroom, she couldn't wait to hug Barron and kiss him...
Unfortunately, despite her enthusiasm, Amanda still lacks the ability to learn knowledge, or she still does not have the patience to persevere in learning, and can be described as "a flash in the pan".
Yes, she soon fell behind Barron in her studies and finally fell asleep in a daze...
Alas, good students always need to study secretly when others are resting...
So Barron could only go to Lydia and continue tutoring her...
…
Just two days passed, and the Hester sisters' complexions finally looked much better.
Barron, on the afternoon of that day, took a bus to Long Island near New York.
The convoy entered a manor. At the gate of the manor, Barron's bodyguards and vehicles were searched. He was prepared for this and asked his security captain to temporarily store the weapons here.
After the vehicle continued to move forward for nearly ten minutes, the view in front of them suddenly became clear and a quaint wooden villa appeared before them.
"Welcome, Your Highness."
In front of the villa, a well-dressed young man who looked less than 30 years old was waiting there. After Barron got out of the car, he politely said to him:
"I'm Mark Rossi, Mr. Bogle's assistant. Bogle is waiting for you inside."
Led by Mark Rossi, Barron came to the reception room of the villa, where he met the silver-haired, energetic old man, who was introduced by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd and was the financial tycoon who came to visit today - John Bogle.
As we all know, the two-headed eagle - the Anglo-Saxon group and the Jewish consortium - is ruling America from behind.
Goldman Sachs is often classified as a member of the Jewish consortium because its founder, Marcus Goldman, is a Jew.
Marcus Goldman's daughter married Samuel Sachs, a Jew who became a partner in the predecessor of Goldman Sachs, which was renamed Goldman and Sachs.
The relationship between the two families has always been good, and the eldest son of the Sachs family, Julius, later married the daughter of the Goldman family, Rosa, to strengthen the relationship. In 1888, the company was renamed Goldman Sachs, which is the Goldman, Saches & Co. we are familiar with today.
Over the following 50 years, the company's partners were almost all from marriages between the two families, and all of Goldman Sachs' business was carried out only after obtaining unanimous consent from the two partners.
However, after many crises and a century of development, the Goldman and Sachs families have very few shares in Goldman Sachs Group and have long ceased to be involved in the management of the group.
Currently, the top three shareholders of Goldman Sachs Group are Vanguard Group (also known as Vanguard Group), BlackRock Group and State Street Corporation.
And Vanguard itself is a major shareholder of BlackRock and State Street…
Therefore, it can be said that behind the Goldman Sachs Group stands the Vanguard Group.
The old man Barron is talking about at this time is named John Bogle, who is the founder of Vanguard Group.
What is the background of the Leading Group?
John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group, is known as the father of index funds and is Buffett's idol.
Vanguard Group was founded in 1974, and its predecessor, the Wellington Fund, was established in 1929. The original founder of the Wellington Fund, Walter Morgan, well, this surname is very familiar.
The two major families in the United States are known as the two poles of the Anglo-Saxon group, namely the Rockefeller consortium and the Morgan consortium.
Therefore, the current Goldman Sachs Group still has the strong influence of the Morgan Consortium behind it.
This is also the reason why when he came to New York this time, the big shot introduced to him by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd was John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard Group.
"Although I have seen many young people with extraordinary talents in the past few decades, I have to admit that you are one of the most impressive."
After the pleasantries, Bogle heaped praise on Barron.
Barron had no idea how many times he had heard such compliments before, but the person who said them now carried more weight.
He smiled and said:
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Bogle. Although I seem to be doing well now, I still have a lot of life experience to learn from you."
"If there is any advice for life, Your Highness, forgive me for being blunt, it's still the same..."
Bogle looked directly at Barron, his eyes gleaming, and he said calmly,
"Like I said just now, I have seen countless people who have shown extraordinary investment talent at a young age. Your Highness, you are one of the best among them, but there are also some who are more amazing than your performance... Frankly speaking, most of them do not have such a noble birth as you, but do you know?"
Sighing, Bogle continued:
"But often the more talented young people are, the shorter their survival time in the market is. On the contrary, those who ultimately achieve long-term success are those who are far less talented but have great perseverance…"
"I'll take these words as a spur to my actions, Mr. Bogle."
Barron remained calm and smiled in response to what the other party said.
Looking at the young duke in front of him, John Bogle showed admiration at this moment:
"What I want to say is that a person's ability and talent are indeed very enviable, but even among those families that were once extremely glorious, how many can still survive and continue their glory? Just like Goldman Sachs, if it had always been controlled by those two families, it would not have been as big as it is today. I'm afraid it would have been wiped out in 1929, or even earlier."
"The only thing that can keep everyone rich and even enable them to continue to develop is unity, because you cannot guarantee that you will always be right, or that your descendants will be able to do the same, but you can believe in the collective wisdom of countless elites and the huge energy that comes from bringing together more capital…"
Not surprisingly, Barron knew that when John Bogle talked about this, the climax of the day was about to begin.
"I agree with what you said, Mr. Bogle, but first I want to know what kind of... 'power of unity' you are describing?"
"It's too early to say that, Your Highness. In fact, what I want to talk to you about today is cooperation, between the Vanguard Group and your DS Capital, as well as... other companies including Rich23 Capital and West Africa Group. In short, I want to have more cooperation with you and your family, and to understand each other better. It is easier to deepen the cooperation through continuous cooperation, isn't it?"
When Bogle finished speaking, Barron's pupils froze slightly, but soon returned to normal...
It is clearly revealed from Bogle's words that even if Barron used many offshore companies to cover up, and even if companies like Rich23 Capital and West Africa Group had no apparent relationship with Barron, these situations were already known to Bogle, or were analyzed and guessed by them to be almost certain.
After all, even with these cover-ups, the flow of funds, even with the dazzling back-and-forth, can still be cleared up with enough patience and resources - not to mention that many of these methods are probably overused by Goldman Sachs, Vanguard, and even the Morgan Consortium...
At the same time, Barron also understood that Bogle chose to expose Barron's "disguise" at this time, not only to warn him, but more importantly, to show him their strength.
"So, what does the cooperation you mentioned include?"
Barron's smile was very sincere and friendly, and he asked frankly.
