Chapter 711 Interest Determines Action

Perhaps Morgan has been in a period of rapid growth over the years. Although Rockefeller has begun to decline, big capitalists are not ordinary people.

Mobil was indeed dismembered back then, but if it could not be beaten to death with a single stick, it meant that Rockefeller was given a chance to recapture Mobil with more hidden control methods.

Therefore, other consortiums and competitors of Rockefeller and Morgan are absolutely unwilling to see the two become stronger, or really rise again.

Even the elephants and donkeys in the United States are unwilling to return to the era when Morgan and Rockefeller took turns to be the farmer.

Why did Goldman Sachs have a Goldman Sachs gang, apart from the fact that they are really powerful and betting on Roosevelt, there must be factors that restrict the old consortia.

Looking at the shareholding structure of Citigroup in the future, we will know that this company has been silently disregarding its relationship with the two families.

It even developed to the point that they would rather let Desert Prince, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore Investment become the second, third, and fourth major shareholders.

Therefore, attracting Li Changheng to join Citigroup is beneficial to many people and can restrain competitors.

The matter is so clear, if Citigroup hesitates, it will be tantamount to giving the opponent a chance.

In less than half an hour, the vote of the board of directors soon determined that the last hurdle for Li Changheng to join Citigroup was to see whether he was willing or not.

And Morgan also unexpectedly voted in favor of this matter.

Then most people quickly thought in their minds that GM is a company owned by Morgan, since the facts cannot be changed.

So if you want to get Li Changheng's order in the aerospace field, you can simply take the initiative to befriend him.

Moreover, Morgan's Hannover Manufacturing is the largest industrial product manufacturer in the United States.

Hannover must have coveted Intel for a long time. Over the years, the chip foundry contract handed over to Citigroup has been calculated in the billions of dollars every year, and even last year it has exceeded 180 million US dollars in chip foundry contracts.

Also, don't look at Morgan's people who have always opposed it before they voted.

But if the First National Bank is given a chance, Morgan will definitely be willing to, on the premise that it only gives less than 5% of the shares.

While wooing Henry Lee, an upstart, not only will he get a lot of cash, but he will also destroy the opportunity for competitors to strengthen.

NM's shareholders, most of whom have no interest in Morgan, were instantly annoyed.

I couldn't help thinking in my heart, I simply don't give Morgan a chance, and I will take the initiative to show Henry Lee first.

Then, several shareholders and management looked at Taylor who had already returned to his seat.

At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Changheng was awakened by the housekeeper Meryl's knock on the door.

He put on the silk robe pajamas very uncomfortably, but after a while, Meryl said that Taylor had just called, but he didn't call him directly.

Moreover, after reporting his identity, he only said "Congratulations" and then hung up the phone in a weird way, which immediately cleared his mind.

People who thought that Citigroup, even if they guessed their purpose, would get a month's time when they came to talk about oil.

But I didn't expect that I still underestimated the elites of Wall Street.

However, this is really no surprise.

After all, who can survive the intriguing and unpredictable capital market, and harvest the wealth of the world, which one is not the best of the best?

While rubbing his temples, Li Changheng secretly reminded himself that he should not underestimate anyone.

Think carefully again, whether this matter is good or bad.

If the purpose is guessed, then the negotiation will become more difficult.

Fortunately, Citigroup will never give up crude oil worth more than 1.1 billion next year.

Once the market is short of oil, these crude oil can be easily used to obtain policy preferences from the government of the United States and New York.

Moreover, if you open a Citibank card, you can enjoy a 5% discount, or other activities that will not cause anti-monopoly restrictions.

Over the next year, the whole of the United States will add hundreds of millions of new customers, but tens or millions of new customers will be fine.

This alone is enough for Citigroup to have to exchange shares to buy the oil in Li Changheng's hands.

That is to say, first buy less than 5% of the shares to join Citigroup, and then talk about crude oil.

In the future, negotiations can not only be done face-to-face, but also in a short period of time, and the confidentiality measures will also be stronger.

You can also pretend that you have to favor Citigroup because you are a shareholder of Citigroup.

At that time, it may be easier to ask for more shares if you show your favor first.

And Li Changheng quickly thought that since it was only one night, Citigroup voted through the decision to let him join.

That is to say, before the oil crisis broke out and crude oil was not involved, there must have been a power competition within Citigroup that it did not know about.

As for what the problem was, although Li Changheng did not guess all the thoughts of Citigroup shareholders, his first thought was that he was indeed the right one to find Taylor.

The act of helping Boyin at the beginning really got a huge reward.

But Li Changheng also understood that the bigger reason was that he was more useful to Boyin.

As for whether Taylor wanted to claim credit, or set a trap for himself.

Li Changheng only thought for a few seconds before dropping it.

The initiative of cooperation is on his side, and he will not disclose the specific plan before he takes action on the island country's economy.

Also, under the premise that the oil crisis cannot be predicted and the economic crisis breaks out, even if Citigroup wants to leave him alone and formulate a plan for the island country.

It will also soon be discovered that if you want to attack an economy that is accelerating its economic growth and has the third largest industrial output in the world, it is by no means a bank that can be defeated by finding a few economic loopholes.

And if you can’t beat it, you can only honestly buy up, outperform the growth rate of the stock market with your ability, and enjoy the dividends of economic growth.

Since the probability of traps is not high, Taylor will not be foolish enough to fool him when there is no definite result.

After all, if I want to deal with Taylor, I just need to easily force the other party to transfer Taylor to sit on the bench when I cooperate with Citigroup.

Then Citigroup really made tens of millions of dollars, and he didn't need to raise it. If Citigroup wanted to maintain a good relationship and continue to cooperate, it would fire Taylor.

Once Taylor loses his status as vice president of Citigroup, he will be an abandoned son who can be manipulated by Li Changheng at will.

And when the local tyrants in the desert bought the plane, Taylor got at least 2 million US dollars in commission alone.

Not to mention, there are promotions in positions and status.

In other words, Citigroup wants to be one of them more than it thinks.

Or in other words, while my achievements in the past few years have been recognized by the elites on Wall Street, I am also worried that the two parties will become enemies in the future because of the entanglement of interests?

Thinking of this, Li Changheng suddenly laughed.

Although he was a bit boastful, and even though he knew that this kind of thinking was unreliable, he felt inexplicably happy.
