This world is very realistic. If Morgan can do what Li Changheng did in the past two and a half years when he took over Citigroup, he will not only lead Citigroup from a market value of 6.3 billion to the current 18 billion, but also help core industries such as Boyin and Grumman make a lot of money. Earn extra money.

Then most of the shareholders within Morgan Stanley will definitely support him unanimously, and some even wish to kneel at his feet.

And a small number of competitors who have been competing with Morgan for the rights of the consortium can only die down while worrying that they will be kicked 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 Damo, but it's actually good for both of us to confront each other a few times from time to time."

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

This statement is obviously reasonable. Morgan is also very worried about the anti-monopoly law. After all, Rockefeller was dismembered before, and now Morgan Stanley has 300 billion assets, which account for 11% of the total market value of the stock market.

Compared with the 25% accounted for by Morgan Stanley in the future, this proportion is very small, and the red polar bear is still there at this time, which to some extent curbs the unlimited expansion of capital.

But in this day and age, it is absolutely unique, and it is also a proportion that all politicians and ordinary people worry about.

It's a pity that the greed of capital is endless, let alone ignoring the law, even if it provokes a war, it will not hesitate.

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

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

But Li Changheng's cooperation with Damo is tantamount to asking him to put his hand into the interior of Damo, which he has never penetrated.

At that time, the ghost knows whether Li Changheng's influence and power will surpass him, as well as his opponents in Damo.

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

In this way, it is Morgan who is at a disadvantage.

"Haven't you ever thought that in the future you will become a bigger trust than Rockefeller and Morgan?"

Li Changheng laughed, "Don't worry, I plan to retire when I'm forty, and no matter how Citigroup expands, at most it will replace Morgan Stanley and become the number one in market value, but there are still many competitors.

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

There is no need for Morgan to doubt this, let alone think about it, to know that Li Changheng is right. Otherwise, Morgan Stanley will not be scrupled and worried now, but will face the fate of being dismembered just like Rockefeller, who almost monopolized the oil field back then. .

In the 1980s, after the red polar bear became weaker, the Americans slowly released restrictions on various domestic capitals in order to use globalization to search for wealth around the world.

The most obvious one is not only the financial field, but also Hollywood movies that are responsible for cultural invasion.

Li Changheng is not worried that the subprime mortgage financial derivatives he releases will be as destructive as the future subprime mortgage crisis. too much.

Only when Reaganomics takes the dominant position in the United States, will the major banks expand like wild horses that have run free.

The so-called Reagan economics can be summed up by lowering tax rates, lowering interest rates, deregulating business practices, expanding military spending, and increasing government deficits and national debts.

The purpose is to curb inflation, but to put it bluntly, it is to loosen capital controls.

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

Only after the 1990s did this kind of merger loosen up a little bit.

Morgan, who is restricted by the times, does not have to worry about Li Changheng annexing other consortiums, because not only is it extremely difficult, but if he does that, he just waits to be watched by the anti-monopoly law all the time.

Seeing that Morgan's expression softened a bit, Li Changheng smiled inwardly. Citigroup is far from being scrupled and suppressed by politicians at this time. If there is no consortium as an opponent, it will definitely usher in a period of explosion again.

Then he continued to flicker, "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, no one would really dare to kill an earl and members of the royal family, right? "

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

As long as he really hides in London or Hong Kong Island, with money and status, his safety will definitely be guaranteed.

Even as long as he is willing to use his wealth and influence to pull Downing Street from time to time, then Downing Street will definitely be included in 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, under the heavy scruples on the US side, maybe it will win him over again.

As for whether Citigroup will touch the anti-monopoly law, it depends on Li Changheng's determination to list himself as an opponent. Even if he gets shares in other companies, he has always used his private name instead of Citigroup. Morgan knows that this guy is very shrewd and sensible. .

"Henry, let's cooperate." After Morgan finished speaking, he looked at Li Changheng with a serious expression, "I'm serious."

Li Changheng didn't smile this time, and he didn't rush to answer, because he heard Morgan's words, but there was some sincerity in them.

Of course, this kind of sincerity may only be temporarily unable to do anything about oneself, and it is only because of the idea that cooperation is beneficial to both parties.

Holding a golf club ~lightnovelpub.net~ Thinking silently for a moment, Li Changheng soon realized that in his heart he was unwilling to fight with Da Mo, and even being regarded as a competitor by him was not good for his own development.

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

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

Big Blue has always been the leader in the computer field now and for the next two decades.

In its own interest, it is certain to suppress any new computer companies that rise up and have the potential to challenge it.

Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have too many overlapping businesses in the financial field, so they are natural competitors.

And in the future, if I enter the mobile communication industry, I will be rivals with the international telephone and telegraph companies of Morgan Stanley and the American telephone and telegraph companies.

General Electric, Boyin, and Grumman are also destined to be rivals in the competition of the third-generation aircraft such as the F14 and F16.
