Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 387 Subsequent Impact
"I'm glad you think so," Mr. Eisen replied.

"I am more optimistic about your future. Can I make additional investment?" Betty said.

Lin Yuan said, "What's going on with you guys? I slaughtered a human being like a chicken. And then I expressed my joyful feelings. Normally, shouldn't you think I'm terrifying?"

Mr. Eisen and Betty exchanged glances, and then Betty said, "Ordinary people might think so, but we don't."

"Human society is a pyramid structure. The higher you go, the fewer positions there are. Those who already hold that position won't sit idly by and watch you climb up and push them down.

If they can beat you through fair competition, they can avoid getting their hands dirty. But fair competition is timeless, and some people, unwilling to accept defeat, resort to dirty tactics," Betty explained.

"For example, Mills tonight?" Lin Yuan replied.

Betty nodded. "Yes. The higher your position, the more hostility you will face. You did a great job tonight. Everyone will see that you are a fierce opponent capable of physically destroying your enemies."

"Learning to show your fangs and to really dare to fight fiercely is an essential quality for climbing to the top of the pyramid. I originally planned to make up this lesson for you, but I didn't expect you to learn it on your own," said Mr. Eisen.

Lin Yuan was not surprised to hear the responses from the two allies representing "old money".

In the previous life, there were many cases where these top dignitaries fought each other openly, and because they could not cover it up, the incidents were exposed on the Internet.

Not to mention how many such things happen in secret.

Even the world's richest man had to repeatedly emphasize on the Internet: I have no thoughts of suicide. If an accident happens, it means I was ambushed!

It can be seen that this struggle is sometimes extremely fierce.

Lin Yuan said, "No matter what, my actions tonight will definitely have some consequences, right?"

Mr. Eisen said: "There are both good and bad things, but overall the pros outweigh the cons."

"Let me hear the bad side first." Lin Yuan said.

"There will definitely be some people who will be dissatisfied with your private killing of Mills. Your threat of force will make them feel extremely insecure. Although they cannot find conclusive evidence, it will not prevent them from joining forces to suppress you in the future," said Mr. Eisen.

"Form a clique? Am I so hated? Every time a movie is released, I thought everyone liked me." Lin Yuan complained.

Mr. Eisen took a sip of his coffee before saying, "If you were making your own movies, there wouldn't be many people who dislike you. But when you start climbing the ladder, it becomes a battle of interests. It's a life-or-death struggle between father and son, and any fondness for you will be thrown out the window."

"Who is hostile to me?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Let me answer that question. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Citigroup Foundation."

"..."

Lin Yuan felt speechless. Could he have attracted the hostility of a top consortium of the same level as the Morgan Consortium?

And there are still two of them!

"You must be wondering why?" Betty asked.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Of course!"

"On the one hand, it's because of your Chinese identity, and on the other hand, it's because of our Morgan Consortium," Betty said.

After hearing Betty's explanation, Lin Yuan did not say anything, but listened quietly to her continue.

"Those two conglomerates certainly have banking businesses, but their primary areas of control are military, energy, and media. The leaders of these two conglomerates often hold white supremacist views and are not very accepting of Chinese people like you."

Your rise will inevitably impact their solid foundation in the media sector. This is why Fox News has been targeting you. The suppression of you began a long time ago. Mills's hatred of you may have been prompted by the two major financial groups.

After a pause, Betty continued, "Another reason is that the battle for supremacy between our Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium has been intense. You are the new hope we value and are working hard to nurture, so naturally, you will face hostility and suppression from your opponents."

Lin Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

Simply put, the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums have their roots in the country, and their senior management is mainly composed of traditional white people, so they are more xenophobic.

To name a few, Boeing and Lockheed Martin belong to the Citigroup consortium, while McDonnell Douglas and Martin Marietta belong to the Rockefeller consortium.

These companies are all well-known military-industrial enterprises.

If we use a term that is familiar to later generations: the military-industrial complex, perhaps many people will understand it immediately.

This is the person who can cover the sky with one hand and make the auditors' planes crash several times in a row when the President of the United States wants to audit the accounts.

However, the huge influence of these two major conglomerates is not limited to the military industry, but also includes energy and media.

Faced with such a huge monster, Lin Yuan felt a little pressured.

He now has the capital to confront film and television giants such as MGM and Columbia Pictures.

However, once the opponent is replaced by two major conglomerates, the sense of oppression immediately becomes countless times greater.

"Don't worry too much. Even if they want to suppress you, they will be subject to many constraints. At least our Morgan Consortium will not sit idly by." Betty said.

"Am I finding a big brother to protect me?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Not big brother, but big sister. We are very tolerant." Betty smiled and patted her chest.

It's quite large, so there are some fluctuations.

Lin Yuan nodded. He also knew why the Morgan Consortium would accept him.

Because the essence of Wall Street capital is global financial capital, if it wants to go global, it must be inclusive and accept more global allies in order to share interests.

Judging from later experience, in the next few years, global financial capital represented by Wall Street will be in an advantageous position in the power competition in North America.

It was not until the outbreak of the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 that the negative effects of the global expansion of financial capital began to emerge, and it began to gradually decline.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt much more at ease.

At least for the next few years, his allies will be strong enough and have enough power to protect him.

He needs to continue to accelerate his development and growth in the next few years so that he can have sufficient security to survive in the future changes.

Several fulcrums extending to various parts of the world, especially domestically, must be accelerated.

This forces him to invest more resources.

Money!

Lin Yuan began to feel short of money again.

The more money he made, the more he felt the need for it...
