Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 758: Seems to be at a disadvantage, but actua

Morgan was not surprised to see that Li Changheng did not object for the first time.

This can be regarded as a scheming, and the purpose is only to exclude Li Changheng, a new force that has emerged, from the traditional industry.

Speaking of which, any giant that has reached the top will face a helpless reality.

The only purpose of capital is to keep changing money more.

But it's better to say that the competition in the same industry is to target ordinary people, and antitrust is waiting for you.

Therefore, the giants should stay on their ground and look forward to innovation and industrial upgrading.

Otherwise, we can only expand horizontally and diversify to compete with other companies in the market.

Rockefeller was dismembered decades ago, and now it's Morgan's turn to be stared at.

In the future, Bell Communications was dismembered, and Weiruan was almost dismembered.

Therefore, since Li Changheng's rise is overwhelming, Morgan certainly wants to limit him during his rise.

Or in other words, as long as Li Changheng does not enter everyone's traditional territory, to some extent, he will be able to get along well.

"Then you can't enter the fields of commercial and investment banking, insurance, petroleum, chemical, aviation, and military industries. What about other industries?"

"No problem," Li Changheng smiled. For him, these industries have already delineated the sphere of influence, and the price of entry is too high.

I am not an old force that lacks money-making projects, so I can't fight with other consortiums.

Having a plug-in is equivalent to having a first hand.

The advantage of one step ahead is still very big.

However, he wouldn't be constrained by Morgan, and he suddenly thought, since he didn't want to fight to death.

Then break into the enemy and let others help you make money.

He looked at Morgan with a smile for ten seconds, then looked at Rockefeller, and waited for their expressions to sink.

Then he smiled and said, "Since I gave in, I asked for something in return, right?"

Morgan and Rockefeller felt tight, but they still had the patience to listen first, and they had to hold back if they didn't.

After all, Li Changheng has already taken a stake in Citigroup and has been recognized by 93% of shareholders and management.

"I reserve the right to invest. Of course, if it is not necessary, the shares will not exceed 5%."

Now Morgan and Rockefeller both looked forward to and worried.

What is expected is that once Li Changheng takes a stake in the two internal companies and becomes a partner in the future, to a certain extent, if he has common interests, at least he will not be a deadly enemy.

Moreover, the attitude of American business groups towards cooperation is far greater than a fight that hurts both sides.

As for worries, you can see that Li Changheng is deliberately deliberate to increase his holdings of Citigroup. Don't look at his young age, but he has a strong desire to control.

But whoever allows him to make money, as long as everyone has money to make money, it is to make a lot of money.

The upper limit of shareholders' tolerance for him will be very, very high.

And what worries them most is that the shares do not exceed 5%. Although they cannot enter the board of directors, it is not all bad not to make decisions.

Shares can be bought in the stock market at will, and they can also be sold in the stock market at will.

If something goes wrong with the group that day, the stock prices will be affected, and Li Changheng has sold a lot in the stock market, which will only make things worse.

Or sell it at highs, or buy at lows.

In the time calculated in years, there was nothing to do with him back and forth.

And even if you want to restrict Li Changheng on this matter, there are few ways to do it.

Let alone normal stock trading, it is protected by law. If you use overseas financial institutions and brokerage agents.

The funds go through UBS, or banks on offshore islands, and it is not so easy to check.

But there is no way to fight back. In Li Changheng's name, Citi is a listed company, and the others are all companies that are solely owned by him or occupy absolute controlling shares.

Morgan sighed inwardly, thinking about forbearance.

"Can't exceed 5%, and don't seek the rights of the board of directors?"

Li Changheng instantly understood that Morgan was worried that he would win over shareholders to make trouble, and shrugged, "I can only keep the property of Morgan and Rockefeller, as well as the shareholders present. The shares purchased in the stock market will not exceed 5%.

If you want to buy more, follow the rules and I will inform you.

Others, that's my own business. "

FK, Morgan, Rockefeller and Citi's shareholders all cursed in their hearts.

Fortunately, this is equivalent to saying, if you don't mess with me, I won't just stare at you all right. It's a conditional promise not to be an enemy of everyone.

And Citi's shareholders, with this guarantee, immediately fell to Li Changheng, hoping that he could lead everyone to open up new markets in the future, and even compete with other consortia.

Although Morgan was not satisfied, the result was not the worst.

Then he smiled and said, "Henry, since you are interested in the computer industry, how about joining the IBM family?"

Seeing that Li Changheng was surprised and envied by the shareholders at the scene, he did not show the slightest expression of excitement, but frowned in thought.

Morgan suddenly felt puzzled, and even continued with an unpleasant feeling, "As long as you want, I can lobby the IBM board of directors and sell you more than 1% of the shares?"

Li Changheng's first thought was that this **** was likely to test how much cash he had in his hands.

Then use 1% of IBM shares to spare the funds in their hands.

Without money, nothing can be done.

No, there are loans.

But once there is a lack of money for loans, as long as you stare at the whereabouts of the money, you may leak the target in disguise.

"I'm not optimistic about the prospects of IBM," Li Changheng squinted at Morgan. "IBM is too big, and antitrust laws will be touched one step forward.

But to stand still is actually a step backwards.

Moreover, after losing the goal and motivation to rise, the entire company will inevitably fall into a recession of conservativeness, stability, lack of innovation, and competitiveness.

Perhaps, the 180 billion node will become the upper limit that IBM will never pass. "

"How is this possible?"

Let alone Morgan, even the shareholders present felt that Li Changheng was talking nonsense ~lightnovelpub.net~ to attack and retaliate against Morgan.

But Li Changheng lit his fire, but he didn't want to say more. Instead, he smiled and pretended to say, "Rather than lock up the shares of IBM's US$1.78 billion in stocks.

It's better to invest in other companies, maybe in 3 years, the money will be doubled. "

FKU, Morgan almost scolded it.

If Li Changheng's words are spread outside, it is certain that the number of people investing in IBM will definitely be 10% or 20% less.

If everyone waits and sees and hesitates, the stock price may indeed fall by a few percentage points.

And one point is 1.7 billion. If it falls by three or five points, there will definitely be IBM shareholders who hate Li Changheng, and even more to blame Morgan as the initiator.

By then, let alone rise to 180 billion, maybe it will fall from more than 170 billion to below 1,699.

That would really be a joke.

Therefore, Morgan gritted his teeth, but he didn't want to provoke Li Changheng any more.
