Chapter 1010: rogue act

With the addition of some shareholders who are already firmly behind Li Changheng, the supporters' shares exceeded 70% in an instant.

No matter how unwilling Morgan is, it can only abstain from voting, let alone Morgan Stanley and Chase Bank, which also covet Colombia's financial and savings business.

Abstaining from voting is just unwilling to see that the entire board of directors of Citigroup has fully controlled the consortium in just over a year since Li Changheng became a shareholder.

In this way, it means that Morgan has recognized Li Changheng's status, and he is already at the same level as those families who have spent dozens or more than a hundred years standing at the top of the United States.

-------

After spending four or five days in the United States, Li Changheng not only settled the distribution of interests among Citigroup's internal interest groups.

Also settled 3 consortiums and 4 large banks, and the distribution of interests in the division of Columbia City Bank.

The cake has been cut, and Li Changheng has also received the support of 3 consortiums and many enterprises.

This allowed him to force the Cali Group to compromise, with almost half of the capital and political groups in the United States standing behind him.

-----

When Gilberto, the leader of the Cali Group, ordered Baqiu, the third head of the group, to investigate the complete intelligence of the Mexican operation.

What neither Gilberto nor Pablo of Medellin knew was that the U.S. Senate was initiating a proposal to be submitted to the House of Representatives by Benjamin Arthur, who had already confirmed that he would take over as vice president. Resolution of the 'Benjamin Arthur List'.

The content of the 'list' is very simple, as long as the DEA determines that a company, individual or related partner outside the United States is suspected of being engaged in the transportation and sale of flour in the United States.

In the future, these groups and individuals will be prohibited from engaging in finance, import and export, and high-tech industries in the United States.

The two items of finance and import and export were requested by several consortiums on their own initiative, and the purpose was nothing more than to exclude their competitors outside the United States.

Those foreign companies that have been included in the list, if they want to sell their products into the United States, they can only sell their products to American companies first.

This is tantamount to being bitten by American capital first.

Or the cost rises, the price also rises, and loses competitiveness.

As for the high-tech industry, it was requested by Li Changheng.

The most hateful thing is that 'suspect' and being confirmed by the DEA are completely different things.

The DEA believes that whoever is suspected, foreign capital has to endure business losses while finding evidence to prove that they did not sell flour in the United States, or have no business contacts or relationships with those flour merchants.

Although it has not completely cut off the hope of foreign forces doing business with the United States, the process of self-certification can basically be counted in years.

The money lost during the appeal process is okay, but if it drags on for three to five years, it will either go bankrupt or give up the US market.

As soon as this decision was launched, countless companies and interest groups outside the United States instantly panicked.

And the DEA soon became one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. Li Changheng, who had been prepared for a long time, had to stop the DEA's third large-scale recruitment plan.

And in order to avoid being mixed with sand, they had to reach an agreement with Benjamin Arthur that while DEA was under the leadership of the Ministry of Justice, it was also under the command of the chief barrel.

Fortunately, the command does not mean that it will become the same as the CIA, completely under the direct control of the chief barrel.

Li Changheng is also very clear that the DEA will be led by the boss sooner or later. This is the end of another world, which has long been a fact.

The compromise with Benjamin was also exchanged for his promise not to replace the current bosses of the Department of Justice during the remaining two years of his tenure.

Let the relationship between Li Changheng and the US Department of Justice be further deepened.

Of course, Benjamin's doing so is actually beneficial to him. The greater the contribution of the DEA, the greater the help to his election two years later.

When Li Changheng solved the troubles on the American side, Gilberto of the Cali Group felt a sense of fear of falling into the abyss.

Unlike Medellin, where 90% of its business is in the flour business, at least half of the Cali Group's business is in legitimate industries.

This ratio was indeed a safe way to avoid risks before the "Benjamin Arthur List" came out.

At the same time, it is also one of the reasons why the Cali Group is unwilling to break out with Medellin, and has been guarding the flour market in a limited number of major cities in the western United States such as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Although Medellin seems to earn more than twice as much dollars as Cali, but in terms of pure profit, Cali is not much worse than Medellin.

To describe it more precisely, the two Gilberto brothers and the third master Baqiu may earn as much money as Pablo every year.

According to the rules of the underground world to help people launder money, at least 30% or more.

In many cases, if you want to wash thoroughly, 50% or 70% is not impossible.

Of course, the Medellin Group is unwilling to be swallowed up with such a large amount of money, let alone handing over the money to outsiders for laundering, which is tantamount to being stuck in the neck.

But the channel they set up by themselves seems to be effective. First of all, the risk of being stuck in the neck is ruled out.

However, a large number of manpower and complicated and cumbersome means will inevitably lead to a decline in profits.

Coupled with Pablo's growing ambitions, just thinking about maintaining an armed force of tens of thousands of people makes even Li Changheng feel his scalp go numb.

It was too expensive, not to mention that Pablo's goal was not 10,000, but tens of thousands.

Cali only maintains a few thousand, which is enough to defend the old nest of Cali City, and to hide behind the Medellin Group and make a fortune.

Moreover, Cali has never planted illegal things on his farm and pasture.

The relatively large amount of exports makes Colombia wish to bring Cali to justice, while at the same time having to maintain the stability of these farms and pastures.

The biggest difference between Cali and Medellin is that Cali knows how to use finance to launder his wealth.

It might even be better to say that Gilberto was a very successful banker than a flour merchant.

When the amount of funds is huge~lightnovelpub.net~In many cases, not only will the funds not be lost, but the huge funds can also be used to make money.

This is probably why the two brothers Gilberto, who obviously made their fortunes by trading and banking, entered the flour industry and never gave up.

It is really that the money comes too fast, and it is of too much benefit to their regular business.

But now, as soon as Li Changheng catches and finds a loophole, it is just a business and related partners outside the United States.

As long as there is suspicion, the bill that prohibits doing business with the United States was introduced, and Gilberto instantly became a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

A relevant partner can make at least half of the companies that have business dealings with the city bank and the two brothers Gilberto.

After the DEA put their two brothers on the list, they immediately disassociated themselves from any relationship.

Even the other shareholders of City Bank would immediately drive the two brothers out of the bank.
