Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Rockefeller Clan and Mellon Clan!

Three awe-inspiring skyscrapers are set to open their doors to the world, serving as office spaces for the first batch of international enterprises settling on Jade Island!

Once this news was released, it instantly ignited the entire world!

One must understand that early on, when the second batch of invited visitors showcased the unique ”forest element” CBD of Laputa City through videos and images, it undoubtedly won the hearts of everyone.

The lush Vertical Forest, the freely rotating Magical Funnel, and the Endless Mansion capable of disappearing at any time, any one of these three buildings would be considered a miraculous work in architectural history.

And now, the companies fortunate enough to settle on Jade Island will have the chance to work in such a splendid office environment, and it’s imaginable how much envy, jealousy, and resentment this would arouse.

So, upon realizing this, various international enterprises originally intending to move to Jade Island accelerated their negotiations with Jade Island, hoping to secure an early entry spot and allow their employees to work in these magnificent skyscrapers, which would surely greatly boost employee enthusiasm and lead to significant corporate progress.

Due to this, the pace of international enterprises moving to Jade Island dramatically increased!

...

Three days later, a Boeing BBJ747-8 private jet flew over Jade Island and slowly landed at Laputa International Airport.

The cabin door opened, and an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face, ruddy-cheeked, slowly descended the gangway onto the airport runway.

”Oh, God! This truly is paradise, I think if I live here, I could at least live twenty more years!”

The ruddy-cheeked old man glanced around at the scenery, took a deep breath, and opened his arms, exclaiming sincerely in a blissful tone.

”Rockefeller, you old devil with six heart transplants, you really are greedy for life and scared of death!”

A sound of footsteps came from behind, and a portly old man, dressed meticulously with gold-rimmed glasses, slowly descended the gangway, sarcastically commenting in a displeased tone.

”Hey, Thomas old ghost, you’re right, I just want to live a few more days. Of course, if I could extend my life, I’d be willing to turn into an old turtle.” Rockefeller wasn’t angry at the portly man’s words, instead calmly responding.

If anyone else were there, they would surely be speechless with shock upon seeing these two old men.

Because both of them could be described as world-shaking figures!

The ruddy-cheeked old man’s name was David Rockefeller, and his real identity was the head of one of the United States’ top ten wealthy families, the Rockefeller Clan.

In the business world, mentioning the wealth and fame of the Rockefeller Clan could be described as a household name, known by everyone.

This world-renowned family, now flourishing for six generations, has intricate ties with the political and economic realm of the United States and globally.

An old saying in Hua Country states ”wealth does not last beyond three generations,” yet the Rockefeller Clan has prospered to the sixth generation and remains at its pinnacle, dominating the world.

The Rockefeller Clan is one of the most powerful consortia in the United States, based on oil monopolies, controlling numerous financial institutions, and thereby extending its influence into all sectors of the United States’ national economy, making it one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the United States.

As for the portly old man, he is not simple either; he is the head of the equally eminent Mellon Clan.

The Mellon Clan has a long history and holds an important position in U.S. politics and economy, manipulating hundreds of major enterprises, including finance, oil, coal mining, shipbuilding, and steelmaking.

The family’s power has infiltrated the political, business, financial, and art collection circles in the United States, making it the foremost prestigious family.

The heads of these two powerful consortia appearing simultaneously on Jade Island would undoubtedly cause a global sensation if the news spread.

”Hey, I say Rockefeller, the scenery here truly looks like paradise. If that Isle Master Jiang agrees, I’d be willing to offer one percent of my wealth to purchase this island.” Thomas Mellon, the head of the Mellon Clan, said with a sense of awe as he came next to David Rockefeller.

It’s unavoidable; although they’ve seen countless beautiful landscapes, nothing as enchanting as Jade Island, and therefore they couldn’t help but feel a touch of sentiment.

”You should talk to the Island Master about that, but I fear that even if you offered all your wealth, he might not agree.” Old Rockefeller shrugged dismissively.

Someone capable of producing such a groundbreaking technological product as the Flying Car and building three top-tier skyscrapers worldwide is unlikely to be concerned with mere measurable wealth!

At their level, money is nothing more than a string of numbers; what truly matters is what lies behind money, namely power or prestige.

And evidently, with both power and prestige, money will continuously flow towards them.

While the two were jokingly conversing, the descendants of both clans accompanied by some senior personnel slowly walked down the gangway to the airport runway.

At this moment, a faint roar sounded from the distant sky.

Hearing the sound, the group suddenly raised their heads, looking towards the distant high sky.

Indeed, accompanied by the roar, dozens of different colored shadows appeared in the sky, precisely the Flying Cars in transition.

”Oh! It’s truly a stunning spectacle! Honestly, I somewhat envy those living on Jade Island, to have such an artistic masterpiece; it’s much more comfortable than the plane we rode.” In Old Rockefeller’s cloudy eyes, a sparkle emerged as he unabashedly praised.

”Indeed, seeing these groundbreaking artworks, I’m even more looking forward to the cooperation with Isle Master Jiang!” Thomas Mellon agreed, nodding.

”Hope so, but our President seems not to be very friendly towards Isle Master Jiang and doesn’t wish for us to get too close to him; also, as far as I know, old Morgan originally intended to come, but was dissuaded by the President.”

”Heh, I don’t care about any president or not. Anyone obstructing my money-making is my enemy.” Thomas Mellon, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes, spoke indifferently.

Meanwhile, the fleet of Flying Cars in the distant sky slowly descended onto the airport’s runway.

With a strong sci-fi touch, the gull-wing door slowly retracted into the wing cabin, then opened, and a handsome, spirited young man stepped out, it was Jiang Cheng.

Upon seeing Jiang Cheng, the heads of the Rockefeller Clan and Mellon Clan both had profound gleams in their murky eyes.

In their gaze, there was a strong sense of appraisal, with a hint of admiration.

Honestly, the young man before them carried the charisma they had in their youth, not only showing the exuberance a young person should have but also displaying the rare confidence and composure amongst peers.

From the outset, they could not help but elevate their estimation of this Isle Master!
