Chapter 710 Differentiation Is the Enemy
The reason is simple, not only did Li Changheng not have any conflicts with elephants and donkeys, but he had deep interest entanglements with the two major forces.
In the past few years of cooperation, not only did not cause any trouble, but also brought enough benefits to everyone.
This kind of upstart who does not rely on policies and does not stare at the wallets of ordinary people in the United States is equally greedy, but compared to other capitalists, they are angels.
Now that it is confirmed that Li Changheng's joining is good for the Elephant Party that is now in power, the government's stock representatives knocked on the table.
After attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Gentlemen, I think what needs to be considered now is, once Henry Lee joins Citigroup and becomes a part of us, what price valuation should we give.
Also, with Henry Lee's wealth, and certainly ample cash, what is the cap on our stake? "
"Wait," Morgan said without waiting for everyone to think and speak, "We don't even know how to cooperate, what the cooperation projects are, and what the prospects for cooperation are.
It is too early to discuss these.
If Henry Lee just wanted to work with us, wouldn't we be leading the way in?
Moreover, as Intel's profits on calculators become less and less, the myth of Henry Lee's invincibility is being challenged the most.
At this time, it is not a correct decision to blindly believe in the other party. "
But what Morgan didn't expect was that these words had the opposite effect.
Intel did have a crisis, and even the valuation has been reduced, but if it is Morgan, if it is two months earlier, it will indeed play a key role.
But now that everyone knows that Li Changheng is making efforts, he not only wins over the media empire of the Hearst family, but also makes dozens of congressmen stand up against the island nation.
In addition, they earned 500 to 600 million US dollars from the islanders in one fell swoop.
He also killed the Miyagi Group, the top three gangsters in the island country, showing extremely strong force and determination to be ruthless when necessary.
The first thought of most shareholders and management is that this war is likely to be calculated early in the morning, and Li Changheng, who is also strong enough, will win.
And despite the crisis, Intel has always occupied the 4th floor market.
In this case, Intel, which has been robbed of the market by the island country, may not take long to stabilize its number one position in the calculator market.
Besides, Intel's largest chip foundry partner is Citigroup.
Therefore, not only the representatives of the government hoped that Li Changheng would join Citigroup, but many shareholders who looked down on the island country in their hearts made it clearer that Li Changheng must win.
As soon as Boyin's people thought of Li Changheng's accurate judgment on the situation in England and the desert area three years ago, he brought Boyin 6 orders for private jets and 42 orders for 747s provided by airlines.
Immediately, I felt that no matter how many shares were offered, or how many shares Li Changheng wanted to obtain, the best thing for Boyin was to let Li Changheng become a part of them first.
After knocking on the table to attract everyone's attention, Boyin said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen, I have to remind everyone.
Now it is Henry Lee who actively wants to join us, so we have the opportunity and capital to fight for better conditions.
But if we refuse, I think the Central, Western and Southern consortia, and the military-industrial complex in Texas.
Once he knew that Henry Lee would no longer fight alone, and began to actively integrate into the upper class of the United States, he would never let go of the opportunity to win him over.
Even, I feel that due to geographical restrictions and the transfer of economic centers, the interest groups in Cleveland and Boston have begun to decline.
Will take the initiative to merge with Henry Lee, who is only one state away.
When the time comes, do you have the confidence to deal with an opponent who has never failed? "
Now, not to mention Morgan and Rockefeller who have been silent, all shareholders and management think that this is really not impossible.
To put it bluntly, a consortium is a coalition of interests, and everything it does is to absorb benefits.
Entrepreneurs in Cleveland, who are subject to the greatest geographical restrictions, are faced with the reality of losing competitiveness, continuous losses, and the situation of no future and hope.
Not to mention the alliance with Li Changheng, as long as they can see hope and money, they will voluntarily give up a large amount of shares, or even surrender directly, and sell the company, there will definitely not be a few people.
Once Li Changheng is allowed to integrate several large companies, it will be the prototype of a new consortium.
Then win over, unite, and invest in local forces, which is a new Cleveland consortium.
Of course, all of this is just a possibility. If he really wants to rise, it depends on whether Li Changheng can make money.
But when you think about it, Li Changheng can be worth more than 3.5 billion US dollars on the surface within 5 years.
In addition, everyone knew it in their hearts, and it was not even a secret for a long time, that Li Changheng also had an unknown amount of wealth overseas and on offshore islands.
Immediately, everyone present felt that it was a hell-level problem for others, but for Henry Lee, it was probably only a difficulty level.
Moreover, to be honest, Morgan was the first person who didn't want Li Changheng and Cleveland's forces to unite.
Because once Cleveland got rid of the financial pressure, Morgan would not be able to use financial means to oppress and suck blood.
The Boeing people looked at Morgan with a sneer, and continued, "And with the end of the Apollo program, Henry Lee is the only one in the United States who is willing to invest money in the aviation field.
Whether it is our Boyin, or GM, Martin and Convair, we will not let go of the opportunity to cooperate with Henry Lee. "
Shareholders of several private families holding Citigroup shares shook their heads helplessly after listening to Bo Yin's representative's words of approval.
Just like Taylor and the management, the share voters sent by Boyin care more about their own or Boyin's interests than Citigroup's interests.
Because it is directly related to their income.
And the shareholders who have this kind of thinking are not just Boyin.
The super-large group in the United States likes to do continuous mergers and mergers.
When there is not enough money for mergers, there is only a merger of share swaps.
Then, when the head office did not occupy the absolute equity, it had to delegate the management rights of the subsidiaries.
Three bank shareholders who have been merged in the past ten years, as well as Wall Street investment institutions and industrial enterprises.
The first thing to consider is the interests of the forces they represent.
It has already wanted to completely eliminate the influence of rival Morgan and Rockefeller in Citigroup.
In the 1930s, although Citigroup did break away from Rockefeller on the surface, as long as they still have shares in their hands, even if it is not much, their influence has always been there.
Then in the process of merging with National Bank, Morgan was added to the board of directors.
As Citigroup itself is a consortium, of course it does not want Morgan and Rockefeller to take power.
