Chapter 711: Interest determines action

Perhaps Morgan has been in a period of rapid growth over the years. Although Rockefeller has begun to decline, the big capitalists are not ordinary people.

Mobil was indeed dismembered back then, but it couldn't be killed with a single stick, which meant that Rockefeller was given a chance to regain Mobil by hiding and using layers of holdings.

Therefore, other consortia and rivals of Rockefeller and Morgan are absolutely unwilling to see the two become stronger or really rise again.

Even the elephants and donkeys in the U.S. are reluctant to return to the era when Morgan and Rockefeller took turns in doing business.

Why did Goldman Sachs appear to have a Goldman Sachs gang? Apart from the fact that they are really powerful and bet on Roosevelt, there must be factors restricting the established consortium.

If you look at the future shareholding structure of Citigroup, you will know that this company has been silently distinguishing its relationship with the two families.

It even developed to the point that the Prince of the Desert, Abu Dhabi, and Xinjiapo Investment would become the second, third, and fourth major shareholders.

Therefore, wooing Li Changheng into Citigroup is good for many people and can restrain competitors.

The matter is so clear, and Citigroup hesitates again, it is tantamount to giving the opponent a chance.

It didn't take half an hour. The vote of the board of directors quickly confirmed Li Changheng's last hurdle for joining Citigroup, depending on whether he wanted it or not.

Morgan also unexpectedly voted for this matter.

Then most people quickly thought that GM is a Morgan company, since the facts cannot be changed.

So if you want to get Li Changheng's order in the aerospace field, you simply take the initiative to pay him.

And the Hanover Manufacturing under Morgan's is the largest manufacturer of industrial products in the country.

Hannover must have been coveting Intel for a long time, and the chip foundry contracts handed over to Citigroup over the years are calculated in 100 million yuan, and even last year it exceeded 180 million US dollars in chip foundry contracts.

Also, don't look at Morgan's people who have been opposed to it before voting.

But if the First National Bank is given a chance, Morgan will definitely be willing, under the premise of only giving out less than 5% of the shares.

While wooing Henry Lee, the upstart, not only obtained a large amount of cash, but also destroyed the opportunity for competitors to reinforce.

NM, most of the shareholders who have no interest in Morgan, were instantly annoyed at the same time.

I couldn't help thinking, I didn't give Morgan a chance at all, and I took the initiative to show Henry Lee.

Then, several shareholders and management looked at Taylor, who had returned to his position.

At 1 o'clock in the evening, Li Changheng was awakened by the butler Meryl's knock on the door.

I was very uncomfortable putting on silk robe pajamas, but after a while, I heard Meryl say that Taylor just called, but didn't look for him directly.

And after self-reporting his identity, the weird act of hanging up after just saying "congratulations" made my head sober.

People who thought of Citigroup, even if they guessed their purpose, got the time when they came to talk about oil one month later.

But I didn't expect that I still underestimated the elites of Wall Street.

However, this is really no surprise.

After all, to survive the deceitful and unpredictable capital market and reap the wealth of the world, which one is not a human being?

Li Changheng rubbed his temples, reminding himself that he should not underestimate anyone at the same time.

Thinking carefully again, whether this matter is good or bad.

If the purpose is guessed, the negotiation will become more difficult.

Fortunately, Citi will never give up crude oil worth more than 1.1 billion next year.

Once the market is short of oil, these crude oils can be easily used to obtain preferential policies from the U.S. government and the New York government.

Moreover, by launching a Citibank card, you can enjoy a 5% discount or other activities that will not cause antitrust restrictions.

In the next year, the United States will not add tens of millions of new customers, but tens or millions of new customers are not a problem.

This alone is enough for Citigroup to have to use a share swap to buy the oil in Li Changheng's hands.

This means that you first buy less than 5% of the shares to join Citi, and then talk about crude oil.

Future negotiations will not only be face-to-face and negotiated in a short period of time, but the confidentiality measures will also be stronger.

You can also pretend that you have to favor Citi because you are a shareholder of Citi.

At that time, it may be easier to ask for more shares if you first show your good intentions.

And Li Changheng soon thought that since it was only one night, Citi had voted to let himself join.

That is to say, before the oil crisis broke out and no crude oil was involved, there must have been competition for power within Citigroup that it did not know about.

As for what the problem is, although Li Changheng didn't guess all the thoughts of Citi shareholders, his first thought was that he had found Taylor in the right place.

The act of helping Boyin at the beginning was really rewarding.

However, Li Changheng also understands that the bigger reason is that he is more useful to Boyin.

As for whether Taylor wanted to take credit or set a trap for himself.

Li Changheng only thought about it for a few seconds before dropping it.

The initiative for cooperation is on his side, and he will not disclose the specific plan before he starts working on the island country’s economy.

In addition, under the premise that the oil crisis cannot be predicted and the economic crisis breaks out, even if Citi wants to leave him alone, it will formulate a plan for the island country alone.

It will soon be discovered that if you want to attack an economy that is accelerating and has the world's third-largest gross industrial product, it is by no means a bank. It can be defeated by discovering a few economic loopholes.

But if you can't beat it, you can only buy up honestly, rely on your ability to outperform the growth rate of the stock market, and eat the dividends of economic growth.

Since the probability of a trap is not high, Taylor will not be stupid, and will fool him when there is no definite result.

After all, I want to deal with Taylor~lightnovelpub.net~ and I only need to force the other party to transfer Taylor to sit on the bench when working with Citigroup.

Then Citi really made tens of millions of dollars, without him asking for it. If Citi wanted to maintain a good relationship and continue to cooperate, he would dismiss Taylor himself.

Once Taylor loses his status as Citi's vice president, he can be abandoned by Li Changheng at will.

And when the desert tyrants bought the plane, Taylor received at least US$2 million in commission.

Not to mention, there is an increase in position and status.

In other words, Citigroup wants to be one of them more than you think.

Or, in other words, while my achievements in recent years have been recognized by the elites of Wall Street, they are also worried that the two sides will become enemies in the future because of the entanglement of interests?

Thinking of this, Li Changheng suddenly laughed.

Although I am a little boastful, and even if I know that this idea is unreliable, my mood is inexplicably refreshing.
