Chapter 708 Emergency Meeting
After the power involves the media, Wall Street and politics, if you extend your hand into the real industry.
For example, Wal-Mart, which has always been the number one department store, and Target, which has been number two for the next thirty years.
In addition to Intel and the computer companies that will definitely be involved in the future, the number of employees that Li Changheng can affect through various companies in the future will be counted in millions.
In the future, as long as he doesn't die, thinking about how to monopolize, or intervene in the internal affairs of elephants and donkeys, Li Changheng will be more difficult to deal with than the old Rockefeller, an evolved version of the behind-the-scenes boss.
Moreover, knowing the future trend, he doesn't need to be like the old Rockefeller, everything is in his own hands.
In the end, he was forced by the situation and his own industry to embark on the road of monopoly, and then he was feared by countless capitalists and politicians, who tried their best to dismember Meifu.
As for the financial industry, in addition to investing in Citigroup, it is entirely possible to invest in the companies of Buffett and Soros.
In the long decades to come, if the decision is correct, you will invest money, and if you make a wrong decision, you will not play.
You only need to avoid one or two decisions that lose money. Under the nature of capital seeking profit, no one dares to ignore his views.
Moreover, Buffett focuses on value investing, while Soros is a speculative venture capital predator.
It can just meet the purpose of stabilizing asset growth, and when necessary, sniping and defeating opponents.
But within a few seconds, Li Changheng shook his head in his heart.
Lao Suo's record is actually no worse than Buffett's, but the two are not only very different in wealth, but also in status.
The reason is that everyone likes investors like Buffett who rely on their vision to outperform the dividends brought about by economic growth.
And he hates and even fears such a destructive speculator as Lao Suo.
Maybe Frank Abagnale can get in touch with Lao Suo, while he hides deeper behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, the corner of Li Changheng's mouth twitched, showing a confident smile and thinking, it seems that he must find a way to acquire shares in Lao Ba's Berkshire Company as soon as possible.
100 million was invested, and by the mid-1990s, there would be a profit of 300 to 400 times.
After the new millennium, it can be doubled again.
Wait, Li Changheng shook his head helplessly. It seems that after Mr. Ba bought Berkshire in 1964, his total assets were only 22 million US dollars.
Even between 68 and 71, the old bus has been in a semi-retired state.
This also allowed him to avoid the US stock market crash in 1969.
He didn't enter the stock market again until after a large number of stock prices in the United States were lower than the actual value that Lao Ba believed due to the perennial inflation.
So 100 million, don't talk about buying shares, it's no problem to buy Berkshire directly.
But what I invested in was actually Buffett, not some investment company.
I don't know if I voted 20 or 30 million, would Berkshire dare to ask for it?
Of course, since he has his eye on this company, Li Changheng will definitely not let it go.
Throw a few hundred or tens of millions casually, even if you don't care, the future will be a profitable business of billions or billions.
There are not many such investment projects in the world.
As for Soros, this guy only established his first company this year, and there will be plenty of opportunities to buy shares in the future.
After the oil crisis is over, next year or the year after that, it will only be a few hundred thousand to buy a share, and it will become a matter of one or two million to get 20% or 30% of the shares.
Of course, no matter how profitable the investment company is, in terms of influence, it is still not comparable to a giant cross-industry group like Citigroup.
Tyler hinted at Citigroup that he might take action in the island country in the future, and no matter how Taylor tried, Li Changheng smiled and shifted the topic to other places.
As for why you didn't talk about oil, don't say that Taylor wouldn't believe it. The fourth desert war is about to start, and it will end in less than a month.
No one would believe that the Israelites spent 500 million US dollars to build a defense line beside the canal, which would be washed away by the Egyptians with water within a day.
Then Egyptian tanks went on a rampage, retaking the land that Iselel had captured in the Third Desert War.
If the Egyptians were not worried that the tanks would penetrate too deep, and would be attacked by aircraft without the protection of anti-aircraft missiles, they would not take advantage of the victory to pursue.
It gave the opponent a chance to breathe, and waited for the assistance of the Americans.
The outcome of this war may be different, and there is a high probability that the Americans will be forced to play in person to keep their pawns in the desert.
The second reason for not talking about it is that no one except him could have predicted that several oil-producing countries in the desert area would unite and use oil as a weapon to counteract the United States, which imports weapons with selenium.
Then the unlucky thing is that most of the oil depends on Europe and island countries in desert countries.
Taylor procrastinated until dinner was over, and it was past 9 o'clock. Seeing that he still couldn't get it out of Li Changheng's mouth, the specific action time and target will be later.
I had no choice but to leave, and then went directly to the headquarters of Citigroup in Manhattan.
At 10:30 in the evening, not a few of the shareholders and executives who could come showed up in the conference room on the top floor.
There are even several shareholders who live in Richmond County, which is the bottom of New York City, the independent big island of Staten Island.
After hearing Taylor say that Henry Lee hinted that he would take action in the island country, they all took the risk of traveling by helicopter at night to attend this meeting.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Taylor stood by the projection screen and turned on the projector with his own hands.
Put the materials collected by the secretary in this hour and a half, and display them on the projection screen one by one.
After half an hour, Taylor didn't care whether everyone had digested it or not.
He said directly, "What is certain is that the recent series of unfavorable public opinion against the island country is not only planned by Henry Lee, but also proves that he is indeed eyeing the island country.
Moreover, in the past few months, in the Atlantic City reconstruction plan alone, he has probably made about 500 to 600 million US dollars from the Islanders. "
"God,,,."
The sounds of exclamation and envy suddenly made the meeting room noisy.
Regardless of the money that Citigroup handles every year, at least in the hundreds of billions of dollars, but the money is all customers.
Various service fees, management fees, and insurance fees are basically calculated in thousandths.
In addition, due to inflation in recent years, not only have fewer people save money, but also fewer customers who have converted into the stock market.
There are also more people who borrow money, but also more people who can't pay back the money.
The real estate used for mortgage loans has received a lot.
It may take time to sell these assets, and it is even more necessary to consider whether the entire market can bear a large amount of real estate entering the market during the economic downturn.
Coupled with the salary costs of a large number of employees, it directly led to the net profit that Citigroup can settle in the past 9 months of this year, which is less than 200 million US dollars.
Now hearing that Li Changheng actually made a one-time profit of 600 million US dollars, the people present are envious and jealous to death.
