Chapter 1359 Don’t Touch Real Estate

To be honest, American political groups used to be very disciplined. After all, killing competitors at every turn is something that only gangs would do.

If politics can be played like this, then everyone will die sooner or later. So not only the United States, but also people who play politics all over the world abide by the unspoken rule of not being able to assassinate.

Of course, assassinating the leaders of hostile countries and assassinating enemy generals during wars are definitely not included in this rule. This rule is mainly to make people who play politics in their own family abide by this rule, so as not to kill and kill and finally kill themselves.

But when Kennedy was assassinated, it must be said that this trick played a decisive role while causing an uproar at the time.

It can be said that this trick hit the Kennedy family's weak spot, not only interrupting the momentum of the Kennedy family's leap to become the first family in the United States. It also left a hidden wound to the Kennedy family, a hidden wound that has not healed until now.

Because when others can take action against the Kennedy family, and the Kennedy family can't find an opponent to fight back. This wound is always opened from time to time.

So since Kennedy was assassinated, all the big consortiums are unwilling to give up the military power in their hands even if they die. In peacetime, the economy is the driving force, but when there is no trump card for self-protection in hand.

It's okay for others to follow the rules, but if you don't follow the rules, you are meat on the chopping board. The other party can cut you at any time.

So what the Kennedy family wants to restore is not only the control over politics and its own economic strength. What they want to restore is the control over the army.

Because the army is like a nuclear weapon, you can not use it but you can't do without it. Only by holding the army in your hands can you better protect yourself. When others assassinate you, you have the power to retaliate crazily.

So in recent years, many consortiums in the United States have been beaten to a pulp because of some arms orders. The consortiums are no longer so harmonious. Although they are generally restrained, they are also fighting with white knives. Didn't you see that little Jack was forced to cooperate with him?

Yang Dongxu asked Du Suo to deal with the bodyguard issue. He had many foreign mercenaries. Although most of them were retired veterans from Northern Russia, there were also many elite retired soldiers from the United States and Europe.

After so many years of training and teaching, and fighting side by side. These people can still be used with confidence. Didn't you see that when Yang Dongxu came to the United States, in addition to Zhang Yue and Du Suo, he also had a large group of black and white bodyguards?

"He is really confident in you." Little Jack raised his mouth corners, revealing a smile that was not sure whether it was mocking or complicated.

Abel had already left Los Angeles, and Little Jack came to him to discuss the financing of the pipeline. Because he had invested a lot this time, especially this investment was almost all his net worth.

If he failed, he would completely lose the right to inherit the consortium, and the final result can be imagined. After all, losers are not protected by the unspoken rules that do not allow assassinations.

And when the time comes, it will not be outsiders who kill him. Those "own people" who have the right of inheritance in their own family will definitely kill him directly to prevent him from making a comeback. There must be many outsiders who are used to eating with stools, and the consortium will turn a blind eye to such things.

The struggle for inheritance rights in a big family is sometimes so cruel, whether it is in troubled times or peaceful times. There is no saying that conflicts of interest can be resolved peacefully, unless you are the only heir of your father.

"If there is no help from me, you will be worse than them. At least they have some power in their hands, so that those hiding in the dark need to hide their heads and tails and dare not expose themselves. And you, if it weren't for my appearance, so many arms orders were robbed. It's not uncommon to be shot by someone on the street?"

Yang Dongxu glanced at Little Jack, and he naturally understood what Little Jack meant. Leaving all the security to Yang Dongxu is equivalent to handing over their lives and property to him. If they can choose, no one is willing to do this.

And the Kennedy family obviously has no choice now. Although they can spend a lot of money to hire bodyguards from some large security companies. But which of these security companies is not involved with the consortium behind the scenes?

There is no doubt that the consortium is the one that is dealing with the Kennedy family, but which consortium or which consortiums it is cannot be determined now.

Therefore, the Kennedy family naturally cannot fully trust the security company with the shadow of the consortium behind it. Even their family always has accidents of one kind or another, perhaps because their own bodyguards have been bribed to become traitors.

Otherwise, why is it that every "accident" clearly feels not an accident, but there is no evidence of homicide. Can it only be handled as an accident?

Naturally, the Kennedy family must be uneasy about handing over their lives and property to Yang Dongxu. But at least one thing is certain that they can still sleep peacefully for a long time in the future.

Because he and Yang Dongxu are partners, the stronger the Kennedy family is, the more benefits Yang Dongxu can get. Therefore, before the Kennedy family recovers its former glory, the cooperation between the two parties will always be in a honeymoon period.

"Your next job is to ensure that YouTube can develop rapidly until it goes public. The shares of other high-tech companies cannot be given to you now, and you can't keep them even if you give them to you." After confronting Jack, Yang Dongxu talked about business.

Jack was obviously a little unconvinced when he heard him say that, but in the end he could only sip the coffee in front of him after opening his mouth. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that what Yang Dongxu said was true.

Because of the loss of a large number of arms orders, his current position in the consortium can be said to have plummeted. Many other competitors were already a little impatient at this time and wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart to reduce the threat.

At this time, if he had successful investments in Google, Microsoft, and other consortiums related to Wall Street, then even if Yang Dongxu gave him the stocks of these companies, he would not be able to keep them. It is very likely that they would be taken away by the family.

After all, the fact that a large number of arms orders were robbed was a heavy blow to his ability and prestige. Only by investing in a new type of company like YouTube.

Then YouTube burst out with powerful energy, and his investment was returned dozens or even hundreds of times. Then he could once again prove his ability in front of the top management of the consortium and re-establish his lost prestige.

In this way, while stabilizing his status as the heir, he could also take back a certain amount of power accordingly. The things in his hands can belong to him, instead of being taken away by others at any time.

Of course, this power is still only corresponding. It can only be said that he has the ability to protect himself again among competitors. The top management of the consortium still has the right to dispose of him. Only when he truly becomes the consortium's counterpart, what belongs to him can truly belong to him. Instead of being taken away by others accidentally.

This is also the reason why these heirs are desperate to get to that position. Even if he is not the head of the family in the end, he is at least one of the top management of the consortium sitting at the conference table with the right to make decisions and vote, because only then can their things truly belong to themselves.

"I want to turn over, even if the oil pipeline fire is not enough, there must be other chips." Jack said after a moment of silence.

If the investment in the oil pipeline can be a great success, the biggest role is to stop his current decline. It is impossible to directly counterattack and turn over, unless the oil pipeline can become the next Google.

Therefore, compared with the income of the oil pipeline, Jack, who basically lost all the arms orders in his hands, needs to continue to increase the chips of success if he wants to recover completely.

Otherwise, he will still be at a disadvantage in the competition among many heirs just by stopping the decline, and this disadvantage is undoubtedly what he does not want to see. If Yang Dongxu wants to get more from him, he must help him turn his disadvantages into advantages.

"How long can you hold on? I mean, when the oil pipeline investment is successful, how long can you hold on without being swallowed up by other heirs?" Yang Dongxu thought for a while and asked.

Jack frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "The old men in the consortium are still healthy, so if there is no major change, the transfer of power will be at least 5 years later."

"In other words, there is an upper limit to the growth of you heirs?"

"But if you are too weak, you will be swallowed up. There is no guarantee of this." Jack retorted.

The so-called growth limit means that if the old men in the consortium where Jack is currently located do not abdicate, the growth of these heirs will be limited to a ceiling, except for rebellion and forcing the palace to take the throne.

It is even possible that the heirs will be targeted because they grow too fast and perform too well, threatening the status of these old men.

So it is not good to be too jumpy at this time. Of course, he couldn't be as weak as Jack is now, otherwise he would be swallowed up by other competitors, and no one in his faction would speak to help him. Weakness is the original sin and there is no reason to explain it.

"As long as the pipeline is successful by the end of the year, you still have the ability to protect yourself. If you really want to do something else, I can't interfere too much here, otherwise it will be troublesome for both of us if we are discovered.

In this way, if you still have spare money, you can invest in technology stocks. It can be a small technology company or the current IT giants, buy it and hold it for a long time. Then don't touch real estate."

"Don't touch real estate? Real estate seems to be very popular in recent years. As far as I know, the increase in real estate in your country is also very large." Jack looked at Yang Dongxu with some doubts.

"Just listen to me and do it. If you don't listen to me, you can invest in whatever you want." Yang Dongxu said calmly.

Jack gritted his teeth, obviously extremely dissatisfied with this evasive answer.

But Yang Dongxu obviously didn't need to explain to him, because things like the subprime mortgage crisis obviously couldn't be told to Jack at this time. Not only Jack, but also the Kennedy family is keeping it secret. This is a big bomb.

If Yang Dongxu is used well, he can move up to a higher level and have the capital to compete with these consortiums head-on. So how could he let outsiders know when this big bomb will be uninsured?

As for the current surge in US real estate, everything is just a bubble. Looking around the world, except for China and other third world countries where the real estate market is just in its infancy.

Any developed country's seemingly prosperous real estate market is a bubble. The bubble of technology stocks burst that year, causing many IT companies to go bankrupt.

So the United States led the hot money of economic development to the real estate market, which is also the reason for the surge in the US real estate market since 2000. This is the fundamental reason for the global real estate boom.

When the second major crisis came in 2008, the real estate bubble burst. Although many people went bankrupt and lost their jobs, it led to a global financial crisis.

But there are still many people who benefited from this subprime mortgage crisis. In addition, while the government is rescuing the market, it must also promote economic development, so the technology industry has become a gathering place for hot money.

So at this time, take advantage of the fact that the technology industry has just recovered, and buy some shares. After 2008, coupled with the advent of the intelligent era, countless hot money has poured into the technology industry. Then the stocks in hand now will double.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu told Jack that the purpose of investing in technology industry shares is very obvious. For this person who once wanted to swallow him with force, he always remains vigilant in his heart.

YouTube can give Jack a life extension, and these technology industry shares will give him a life extension again in a few years. As for whether he can turn defeat into victory and control the consortium.

Yang Dongxu needs a partner who can control the degree, not an uncontrollable strong enemy. So how the relationship between the two will be in the end depends on how the two get along in the past few years.
