Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 1040: It's too dark

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

On the contrary, because he brings benefits to everyone, many shareholders like Boein, Grumman and Mivh will applaud his joining.

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

In terms of capital society, everything looks at the interests, and all the interests are taken into one's own pockets, that is, the whole society is acting against it.

Otherwise, the Rock Feiler in the past and the Morgan Stanley in the future would not be suppressed one after another, resulting in the fact that although the name of the consortium has not changed, the control rights have been lost from the hands of the two.

Li Changheng asked Boyin to contact with General Motors, and he waited to see if General Motors would come into contact with his own ideas, and then he found Raven Bena.

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

Did not directly say that Qatar and Bahrain are the most suitable places to establish bases, the reason is just waiting for the upper navy of the United States to find themselves after the decision.

At that time, it will be an opportunity to make a request on your own and to reciprocate.

Lavin Bernard spared no effort to take the opportunity to ask Congress for more funds to expand the US navy's strength, and even wanted to take the opportunity to get a boost.

Therefore, for Li Changheng's suggestion, I did not want to stop at that moment and went to the navy leaders above.

Li Changheng then returned to New York. He asked for a few collaborations before, and now he must be willing to meet with the consortium leaders who are waiting for him to summon.

Of course, before meeting those old guys, you have to fix Citigroup.

However, Boyin and Grumman will definitely stand on their side this time, plus the 500 million U.S. dollars that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and other countries have placed in their trust, and Saudi Arabia’s crude oil that may exceed tens of billions of dollars in the future. Settlement payment.

Suddenly, Li Changheng had the option to call to his office, the shareholders who held more than 45% of the shares, and the four Citi managers who did not hesitate to stand on his side.

Adding 45% of his own 19.5% of the shares, the total shares have reached 63.5%. Li Changheng can do whatever he wants without having to open the entire board of directors.

After solving Citi's affairs, Li Changheng's confidence was even stronger when he went to meet with a few consortium bosses.

Negotiations are basically going smoothly, but regarding the issue of arms exports to Saudi Arabia and his younger brothers, some people are worried about the safety of Iseley and strongly oppose it.

But among the 6 people present, except for those who spoke these words, the other 5 people including Li Changheng, either smiled or were silent, but no one spoke.

While Li Changheng despised him in his heart, he also understood that everything on Wall Street only depends on profit.

And it's not about waiting for others.

The final condition is not to export medium-range guide eggs, bombers and strategic weapons to any desert country.

As for conventional weapons, as long as they are not on the US Congressional embargo list, they can be sold at will.

The return that Li Changheng waits for is a big talker who will support Belford Investment to become the main seller of subprime mortgage derivatives.

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

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

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

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

Had it not been for the transformation from the 1960s and focusing most of its energy on mining and chemicals, DuPont would likely fall out of the top ten consortium.

But specialization has its advantages as well as its disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that DuPont is the weakest in banking and finance among the top ten consortia.

Even when there is a need for funds, you have to borrow from banks such as Morgan Stanley, rather than the banks you own.

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

As for the chemical business, Teflon products alone bring DuPont more than $1 billion in profits every year.

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

And this is why he can be too big to fail.

Seeing that Li Changheng was not in a hurry, Old Dupont cursed 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 this old fellow to go out to sea with me?"

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

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

Li Changheng thought about exposing it for a moment, but reason told him that unless he smashed with DuPont, it would be useless.

Since the production of Teflon more than 20 years ago~lightnovelpub.net~ DuPont’s factory has been exposed to scandals that the average life expectancy of workers is less than 50 years old, but this was only reported for a while, but in the end it didn’t work. Over.

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

But no one came forward to investigate.

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

In the future, a lawyer will kill DuPont for 16 years, and his children will be married and have children, and he will have gray hair.

But it turned out that the lawsuit has resulted only because DuPont found a material to replace Teflon.

Then it lost 300 million U.S. dollars.

And this 300 million is just three months of profit from DuPont's chemical plant.

No one was sentenced, no one was responsible for this, the factory did not shut down, and no US agency issued a fine to DuPont.

This rider is funny.

Besides DuPont, there are really not too many companies like Monsanto and Pacific Gas and Electricity that poison the Americans.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng suddenly shook his head helplessly.

Besides, Citi is actually not clean.

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

Even if not all the money you make is fair and honest, but at least not black-hearted.

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

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

Shrugging to Old DuPont, Li Changheng said with a smile, "Sorry, it should be difficult for me to spare my free time today and the next few months.

Moreover, I believe you will get busy soon. "
