Chapter 1040: it's too dark

Just getting 5% of GM's shares, even if Morgan Stanley is dissatisfied, this share is far from reaching the point where all GM's shares are afraid.

On the contrary, because he brings benefits to everyone, like Boyin, Grumman and Mobil, many shareholders will applaud him to join.

He even directly pushed Li Changheng into the board of directors and became one of the shareholders with voting rights.

To put it bluntly, the capitalist society looks at everything in terms of interests, and takes all the interests into its own pocket, which is against the whole society.

Otherwise, Locke Feller in the past and Morgan Stanley in the future would not be suppressed one after another. As a result, although the name of the consortium has not changed, the control has been lost from the two companies.

Li Changheng wanted Boyin to contact GM, while he waited to see if GM would contact him in turn, and then he found LaVine Burnett.

Privately express the idea of ​​​​establishing bases in deserts and other countries.

He didn't directly say that Qatar and Bahrain are the most suitable places to establish bases, the reason is just waiting for the top of the US Navy to find himself after making a decision.

At that time, it is the opportunity to ask for it and ask for something in return.

LaVine Benner spared no effort to take the opportunity to ask Congress for more funds and expand the strength of the US Navy, and even thought about taking the opportunity to upgrade.

So for Li Changheng's suggestion, if he didn't want to stay for a moment, he went to the top navy bosses.

Afterwards, Li Changheng returned to New York. He asked some of the consortium bosses who had worked with him before, and now he would definitely be willing to meet them.

Of course, before meeting those old guys, you have to get the inside of Citi.

But Boyin and Grumman will definitely stand on their side this time, plus the 500 million US dollars that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and other countries have entrusted themselves with, and Saudi Arabia’s crude oil that may exceed tens of billions of dollars in the future Settlement payment.

Immediately, Li Changheng had the choice to call him to his office, and the shareholders who held more than 45% of the shares, as well as the four Citi managements stood by him without hesitation.

With 45% and his own 19.5% of the shares, the total shares have reached 63.5%. Li Changheng can do whatever he wants without holding the entire board of directors.

After solving the Citigroup matter, Li Changheng's confidence was even stronger when he went to meet with several consortium bosses.

The negotiations were basically smooth, but with regard to the issue of arms exports to Sat and his little brothers, some people were worried about the safety of Yisel and strongly opposed it.

But among the 6 people present, apart from the one who said these words, the other 5 people including Li Changheng either smiled or remained silent, but no one spoke.

While Li Changheng despises him in his heart, he also understands that Wall Street only cares about profit.

And the one who is in a hurry is not waiting for others.

The final condition is that no medium-range guided missiles, bombers and strategic weapons will be exported to any desert country.

As for conventional weapons, as long as they are not on the embargo list of the US Congress, they can be sold casually.

What Li Changheng waited for in return was a big talker who would support Belford Investment Company to become the main seller of subprime mortgage derivative financial products.

After the meeting, Li Changheng, who was about to leave, saw the old Dupont walking in front of him with a smile, and immediately guessed that the old man should be eyeing the follow-up arms business, as well as the gold mine.

It's a pity that Li Changheng is not very interested in this, or he has no time to manage the arms business and gold mines now.

Moreover, he did not want to have too much contact with DuPont.

DuPont, which started with dynamite in the early years, has been in a recession since it received an order of 21 billion US dollars during World War II.

If it hadn't been for the transition since the 1960s, when it focused most of its energy on mining and chemicals, DuPont would probably fall out of the ranks of the top ten conglomerates.

But specialization has advantages, but also disadvantages.

The downside is that DuPont is the weakest in terms of banking and finance among the top ten consortiums.

Even when there is a need for funds, it is necessary to borrow from banks such as Morgan Stanley, rather than from banks controlled by oneself.

On the bright side, it can be said bluntly that about 60% of the mining industry in the United States is either directly controlled by DuPont, or it is controlled together with other consortia.

As for the chemical business, only Teflon products bring DuPont more than 1 billion US dollars in profits every year.

Therefore, although DuPont's ranking in the top ten consortiums has dropped from fifth to ninth during World War II, DuPont is the strongest in certain areas.

And this is why he can be big but not fall.

Seeing that Li Changheng was not in a hurry to speak, the old Du Pont scolded the little fox in his heart, and then said with a smile, "Henry, I heard that you like sea fishing, do you have time to accompany me, an old guy, to go out to sea?"

Li Changheng always had a smile on his face, but subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The outbreak of the Blackwater incident in the future can be said to make DuPont stink, which is not enough to describe their dilemma and negative impact.

Li Changheng thought about exposing this matter for a moment, but his reason told him that it would be useless unless he fought DuPont to death.

Since the production of Teflon more than 20 years ago, DuPont's factory has been exposed to the scandal that the average life expectancy of workers is less than 50 years old, but this matter was only reported for a while, but finally disappeared.

Obviously, DuPont suppressed this matter, and DuPont knew that there was a problem with its products, and the upper echelons and politicians in the United States also knew that there was a problem.

But no one came forward to investigate.

What kind of justice, what kind of independent judicial system, what kind of conscience and justice of the media are all blind and deaf at this moment, and then the wallet is full.

In the future, there will be a lawyer who has been obsessed with DuPont for 16 years. His children are all married and have children, and his hair is also gray.

But it turned out that the lawsuit came to fruition only because DuPont found an alternative to Teflon.

Then it lost 300 million US dollars.

And this 300 million is only the profit of DuPont's chemical plant for three months.

No one was sentenced, no one was held accountable, no factories were shut down, and no US agency issued a fine to DuPont.

This horse riding is funny.

And besides DuPont~lightnovelpub.net~Monsanto, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, etc., there are really not too many companies that poison Americans.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng shook his head helplessly, he couldn't manage it at all, and he didn't have the ability to do it.

Besides, Citigroup is actually not clean.

However, even if you don't plan to be troublesome, it doesn't mean that you need to join forces with DuPont.

Even if not all the money I make is aboveboard, at least it is not black-hearted.

Of course, Li Changheng didn't intend to offend DuPont, let alone make enemies with them.

This requires bringing up a topic to divert the attention of the old DuPont and even other people around.

Shrugging old Dupont, Li Changheng said with a smile, "Sorry, it will be difficult for me to find free time today and in the next few months.

And, I'm sure you'll be busy soon too. "
