Chapter 0337: Financial Expansion
Morgan and a few of the old guys were standing in the corner, not near the stage, each with a gentle smile on their faces, and they couldn't tell what was going on inside.
With Li Zitao's declaration on the stage, their eyes sometimes jumped, sometimes pondered, showing that their hearts were not at peace.
At this time, Li Zitao's troika looked extremely stable.
"Could it be that a new consortium is about to rise?" Although it was expected, no one's heart could be calm at this moment.
Who would have thought that in less than 3 years, the prototype of a consortium was born.
Although it is still weak and not strong enough, no one can deny its strength and future potential.
"God bless America. On the stage, Li Zitao raised his glass again and shouted.
"God bless America. The crowd shouted in unison.
The band took the stage, the cheerful music filled the ballroom, and the elegant men and women walked onto the dance floor to enjoy the evening.
As with every night they've enjoyed before, the many hot girls from Spain and South Africa are now in the spotlight of bachelors.
No one would refuse to have some fun at such a party.
Of course, the premise is that the law is gradually improving, so that everyone needs to consider the consequences before making a choice.
Especially in the crazy moments at the beginning of the birth of the 'paparazzi', those excited guys are now even more 'vicious' than the hounds. ’
"Charlie, congratulations on your discovery in Alaska, and your sports car, it looks so beautiful. Harvey Firestone was the first to raise a glass in congratulations.
These words are absolutely sincere, because so far, there has been no conflict between the industries involved in the two.
On the contrary, it was the power of Aegis Motors that made Sellers make a lot of money.
He hopes that Li Zitao's automobile industry will develop better and better, so that it can bring him a steady stream of benefits.
Those guys who use rubber tires from small factories are heretics, and they will regret it sooner or later.
"Thank you. After toasting with several other predators, little Morgan, who had gone to the banquet in person, was close in front of him.
"Mr. Morgan, do you need anything? There's good food, good cigars, plenty of drinks, and hot girls, maybe you should relax." ”
Morgan's grasp of the cane made Li Zitao smile in his heart, "Old fox, it's quite like it." ’
Knowing that Morgan was not as calm as he appeared, Li Zitao was satisfied.
"Uncle John. At the end, it was John Rockefeller Jr., and Li Zitao politely gave him a warm hug.
"Look, everyone is congratulating you, what are you going to do?" asked John Jr. directly about the new oil field.
Previously, by his side, everyone congratulated Li Zitao, but he just wanted to pretend to be stupid.
If you pretend to be stupid like this, people will think he is really stupid.
"Does Uncle John have any suggestions?" Li Zitao kicked the ball back.
"It's been a pleasure to work with, Charlie. Of course, John Jr. wanted to get the right to buy the new field.
Everybody wants to be a monopolist in the industry, if possible.
Because this represents the maximization of benefits, as well as the control of the entire industry, there is no need to worry about whether you will be eliminated by the market at any time.
Just like the three major operators in the previous life, in order to benefit from various outsourcing policies, shirk responsibility, abuse of power, and take money, it is an individual who can explain clearly.
"Uncle John, Manhattan Chase is an excellent bank, does the board of directors have any plans for its future development?" asked Li Zitao, feigning curiosity.
"Do you have any good advice?" both sides were testing each other's intentions.
"How about getting Manhattan Chase on board?" Li Zitao's appetite is getting better and better, and he is becoming more and more like a businessman.
"I need time to think about it, how should the equity be calculated?" John Jr. did not directly refute, joining the Li Group, there are pros and cons, and he needs to weigh it before making a decision.
The two were maintaining a pleasant exchange atmosphere, and Samuel McCormy, who had left earlier, returned, "Charlie, John, can I join you?"
"Of course. Little John nodded.
"Yes. Li Zitao couldn't be sure if they had reached some kind of agreement before, but he couldn't wipe the two of them in public.
Little John didn't hide anything from Samuel, and he soon learned the content of their conversation.
And very interested, the First Bank of Chicago also wants to join the game.
The plate is getting bigger and bigger, with 1.8 billion savings, 3 million savings users, and the first bank that maintains positive assets in various businesses, how to value it remains to be discussed.
Some of the information here is much more discounted, such as the 3 million savers, the peak of the First Bank of Chicago.
In the midst of the Great Depression, Li Zitao estimates that they have only a tenth of their savings left, which is a good share.
There are also the so-called 'business' positive assets, which are just maintained, and profits are not to be considered.
Of the $1.8 billion, 90 percent of which belongs to the Chicago consortium's own reserves.
But that doesn't mean it's worthless, and the $1.8 billion dollar reserve alone can come in handy.
Since they all showed strong interest, the three of them took the initiative and entered the small living room.
Li Zitao also made a special trip to borrow Ben, who was dancing with Joanna, "I'm sorry, Joanna, there are some things that need to be done, you know, he is my brain." ”
"Hopefully he'll be in time to dance with me for the last time. Joanna said helplessly.
"I promise I will. Li Zitao didn't believe this at all, but he nodded affirmatively.
Leaving the dance floor, Ben whispered, "Boss, what are you doing again?" ”
After having been together for so long, Ben also knows a little bit about his style.
If it weren't for the 'big move', Li Zitao would have waited until the end of the annual meeting to come to him, instead of calling him away from his wife.
"First Bank of Chicago, Manhattan Chase Bank, is it a big move?" Li Zitao pressed his shoulder and pushed the slightly heavy solid wooden door in front of the door.
"Charlie, you can't always be so bad. Seeing that he had brought Ben back unexpectedly, Samuel shook his head in annoyance.
It was a pleasure to work with him, but negotiating with him was definitely the most heartbreaking experience of the year.
"Is this a surprise on Thanksgiving's Eve?" said little John.
Should we praise him for the importance he attaches to this matter, or should I despise him for choosing to be 'lazy' to deal with such an important matter?
"How did he succeed?" is a question worth pondering.
But before that, they need to get the 'brain' in front of them first, which is not an easy task.
