The world is very realistic. If Morgan can be like Li Changheng in the past two and a half years, he will not only lead Citigroup from a market value of 6.3 billion to 18 billion now, but also help core industries such as Boyin and Grumman make big profits. Special earn.

Then the vast majority of shareholders in Dalmore would definitely support him unanimously, and some would even want to kneel at his feet.

And a small number of competitors who have been fighting with Morgan for the rights of the consortium can only die while worrying that they will be driven out of the power center by Morgan.

Thinking of this, Morgan asked tentatively, "Henry, is it possible for us to cooperate?"

Li Changheng immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I can cooperate with Da Morgan, but the two of us confront each other a few times from time to time, which is actually beneficial to both of us."

Now it was Morgan's turn to roll his eyes.

This obviously makes sense. Morgan is actually very worried about the anti-monopoly law. After all, Rockefeller was dismembered before, and now Morgan Stanley has an asset of 300 billion, which accounts for 11% of the total market value of the stock market.

This proportion is very small compared to the 25% of Morgan Stanley in the future, and the red polar bears are still there at this time, but to a certain extent, it has curbed the unlimited expansion of capital.

But in this day and age, that is the absolute only share, and it is the proportion that all politicians and ordinary people worry about.

It is a pity that the greed of capital never ends, let alone disregarding the law, even if it provokes a war.

Globalization has many benefits, but it also gives capital a reason to search the world and provides an excellent situation.

So Morgan agrees that Li Changheng needs an enemy, and he also needs a competitor, to reduce politicians' concerns about the unlimited expansion of Morgan Stanley.

But Li Changheng's cooperation with Dalmore meant that he took the initiative to let him reach into the interior of Dalmore, which he had never reached.

At that time, the ghost will know whether Li Changheng's influence and power will surpass himself and his opponents in Dalmore.

Conversely, as Li Changheng has more and more shares in Citi, it is foreseeable that he and other Citi shareholders will have less and less binding force on him.

In this way, it is Morgan's loss.

"You never thought that in the future, you will become a trust even bigger than Rockefeller and Morgan?"

Li Changheng laughed, "Don't worry, I plan to retire when I'm 40, and no matter how much Citi expands, it will at most replace Morgan Stanley and become the number one market cap, but there are still many rivals.

After all, I don't want or have the ability to swallow most commercial banks. "

You don't need Morgan to doubt this, let alone think about it, you know that Li Changheng is right. Otherwise, Morgan will not be scrutinized and worried now, but will face the fate of being dismembered like Rockefeller, who almost monopolized the oil field. .

In the 1980s, after the red polar bears became significantly weaker, the Americans gradually loosened the restrictions on various domestic capitals in order to use globalization to search for the world's wealth.

Most notably, in addition to the financial sector, there are Hollywood films that are responsible for cultural invasion.

Li Changheng is not worried that the sub-prime financial derivatives released by him will be as destructive as the future sub-prime crisis. too much.

Only when Reagan economics dominates the United States will the major banks expand without limits like wild horses off the reins.

The so-called Reagan economics is summed up as lowering tax rates, lowering interest rates, deregulating business practices, expanding military spending, and increasing government deficits and national debt.

The purpose is to curb inflation, but to put it bluntly, it is to liberalize the control of capital.

Therefore, in the United States in the 1970s, the merger between major commercial banks and other industries, the US government card was not generally strict.

It was only after the 1990s that this kind of merger was released little by little.

Morgan, who is limited by the times, does not need to worry that Li Changheng will annex other consortia, because it is not only extremely difficult, but if he does, he will be watched by the anti-monopoly law all the time.

Seeing that Morgan's expression softened a bit, Li Changheng suddenly smiled in his heart. Citigroup is far from being scrutinized and suppressed by politicians at this time.

Then he continued to whisper, "No matter how bad it is, the buildings and stores I have on Hong Kong Island and island countries are enough for me and my children to live an extremely luxurious life.

And I am a hereditary earl of England, so no one would dare to kill an earl and a member of the royal family, right? "

Damn it, Morgan didn't believe Li Changheng's statement that he would retire at 40, but at the same time he had to agree with Li Changheng's arrangement.

As long as he really hides in London or Hong Kong Island, he has money and status, and his safety is guaranteed.

Even if he is willing to use his wealth and influence to pull Downing Street from time to time~lightnovelpub.net~, Downing Street will definitely be on the list that no one can touch.

As long as there is no problem with safety, who can guarantee that he can withstand his revenge?

At that time, the United States, under heavy scruples, might instead win him over again.

As for whether Citi will touch the anti-monopoly law, see Li Changheng, who single-mindedly regards himself as an opponent. Even if he gets the shares of other companies, he has always used his private name, not Citi. Morgan knows that this guy is very shrewd and rational. .

"Henry, let's cooperate," Morgan said, looking at Li Changheng with a very serious expression, "I'm serious."

Li Changheng didn't laugh this time, and he didn't rush to answer, because he could hear the sincerity in Morgan's words.

Of course, this kind of sincerity may only be temporarily unable to do anything about himself, and he has the idea of ​​​​being mutually beneficial.

Holding the golf club and thinking silently for a moment, Li Changheng soon discovered that he was unwilling to fight with Dalmore in his heart, and even being regarded as a competitor by him would not benefit his own development.

But just like the problems that have been thought of before and cannot be solved, it is really difficult for me to cooperate sincerely.

In other words, no consortium can cooperate happily with Morgan Stanley.

Big Blue is now and will be the leader in computing for the next two decades.

For its own sake, it is sure to crush any new computer company that rises up and has the potential to challenge it.

Citi and Morgan Stanley have so many overlapping businesses in the financial sector that they are natural competitors.

In the future, if he enters the mobile communication industry, he will be rivals with Morgan Stanley's International Telephone and Telegraph Company and the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

GE, Boyin and Grumman are also destined to be rivals in the competition of the three generations of aircraft such as F14 and F16.
