Chapter 262: The California Consortium
After Li Guangyu came to Seattle, he had no intention of returning to Los Angeles, but Peng Xiaoli called, and the president of Bank of America hoped that Li Guangyu could go to Los Angeles to meet with him. Flash Dance Ⲡ- Eight Ⲡ- Eight Ⲡ- Read Ⲡ- Book, â o â§
Even if Lee Kwang-woo planned to fly directly to Tokyo, he had to change his original plan and return to Los Angeles. For the invitation of the California consortium, Li Guangyu could not help but give this face. As the core of the California consortium, the helm of Bank of America is obviously the central figure in it. Li Guangyu knows that he is now being targeted by many American conglomerates, and it is still unclear whether he is co-opted or suppressed.
Li Guangyu is not very clear about the strength of the California consortium, but now it can rank third among the top ten consortiums in the United States, and Li Guangyu himself is too far away from them. According to relevant news, in 1974, the California consortium had assets of $167.1 billion, which is certainly not all of the California consortium, and no one knows how much wealth is hidden underneath.
Li Guangyu's current assets of all the group are only more than 10 billion US dollars, and compared with them, it is still a comparison between children and prime of life, and Li Guangyu does not have the strength to compete with them.
When Lee Kong Woo returned to California on a chartered flight, on the top floor of the Bank of America building, some key figures of the California consortium were gathering here, including the helm of the Western Bank, the second largest bank of the consortium, and the helm of Wells Fargo in the San Francisco area, and the helm of Merrill Lynch, the largest investment bank under its umbrella.

As the founding family of the predecessor of Bank of America, the current helmsman Nick Kiannini said to these people: "Everyone has also read the information about Mr. Li Guangyu, I think everyone also knows a lot about this teenager, this time the Texas consortium actually wants to pull Li Guangyu to their Texas, it is simply trying to slap us in the face, all of Li Guangyu's American company headquarters are in our California, and they can naturally become our allies, those Texas cowboys are really whimsical." â Eight â Eight â Read â Books, âĻo â§"
As the second largest family within the consortium, Noel Milton, who is now in charge of the Bank of the West, said: "Nick, don't worry, Li Guangyu is not a fool, let us California consortium not choose, how can we choose a region that has no advantages, isn't there news that Lee Guangyu did not agree to McKitson's invitation?"
It was very easy for the California consortium to know something, and the general experience of Li Guangyu's participation in the evening party reached them the next day. This made several people at the helm of the California consortium very dissatisfied, and they actually dug into the corner of the wall to dig them here.
The California consortium is very satisfied with Lee Guangyu's investment in the United States, and as the Lee Guangyu group continues to grow, they are also paying more and more attention to Lee Guangyu's situation. He also naturally included Li Guangyu in the sphere of influence of his own consortium, and he was willing to absorb Li Guangyu into the consortium, even if it didn't work, he also established an alliance with Li Guangyu to help the development of the California consortium in Asia, especially in the treasure islands, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia where Li Guangyu had far-reaching influence.
J.R. John, President of Merrill Lynch, said: "Nick, Li Guangyu is only afraid and unwilling to join our consortium, through these materials, we know that he is a very controlling person, and he will not let others get involved in his group. Just look at the shares of the group that he holds. â
These family leaders have looked at some of the relevant information of Li Guangyu Group in detail, and they have never asked about the companies in which they have shares. But his own company is either directly wholly owned and not listed, even if there are two listed companies that hold absolute equity, and no one will be given the opportunity to attack his group.
At the same time, they also found that Li Guangyu was very cautious, his main companies are located in Xiangjiang, and the development of Japan is also involving local Japanese families, and it is also cooperating with the Sumitomo Foundation, one of the six major consortia.
In addition to a few teams in the United States, all of them are selling products, and the company's headquarters are not here, unless the government deliberately targets the Li Group, otherwise the major consortia are really bad for him, and his group is not listed like many companies, even if the consortium is rich, it is impossible to eat.
Wells Fargo President Roel Kevin said, "Chinese families have a natural instinct in this regard, and they always want to have absolute control over their property in order to feel at ease, and that's the case for many Chinese families in our San Francisco area. Many of them would rather the company's development be slower than outsiders inject capital into his company and affect his control of the company, and Li Guangyu obviously thinks the same way. â
Nick Chiannini said: "Tonight, I will talk to Mr. Lee Guang Woo in person, and we don't expect him to join our consortium this time, we can first ally with him and promote everyone's development." You have all read the information, under his leadership, the Li Group has developed from assets of only more than 20 million US dollars to tens of billions of assets in just three years, and his strength and potential are worthy of our attention. â
Merrill Lynch President J.R. John also said: "Mr. Li Guangyu is most powerful or his excellent vision, just a few days ago, Apple's listing, this investment brought him hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, many listed companies a year of profit is not as much as him, we Merrill Lynch in this investment did not have his good vision, and did not fight for many Apple shares." â
At the same time, you can take a look at some of the companies he invested in Xiangjiang, all of which are developing rapidly, and the market value of the shares is rising, which is the most terrifying, he has never missed his investment, and the only time is the hard competition with the Xiangjiang Jardine Foundation, it is said that the governor of Xiangjiang came forward to end peacefully. â
J.R. John was very envious of Li Guangyu's ability, and if he had such a vision, Merrill would not have to fly quickly.
Nick Kiannini said: "When I negotiate with Li Guangyu today, I will promote the cooperation between your Merrill Lynch and Tianyu Investment Company, anyway, it is impossible for them to eat all the shares of a company, and it is beneficial for everyone to cooperate together, with their excellent vision, coupled with our influence, we will be invincible in this regard." â
J.R. John said: "Nowadays, many investment banks are staring at the actions of Tianyu Investment, and they all want to follow Tianyu Investment to take a piece of the pie and grab the shares of some companies in which Tianyu Investment has a stake. If we reach a cooperation agreement with Tianyu Investment, we will be able to get a head start and promote Merrill Lynch's development. â
Rael Kevin continued: "Nowadays, with the economic changes, the development of our side in recent years is not very ideal, but the Asian region is developing rapidly, among which Li Guangyu has a greater influence in some regions, such as Xiangjiang, Baodao, Japan and other places, if our consortium wants to continue to develop rapidly, it is necessary to expand the market in these places, and Li Guangyu is obviously a very good partner." â
After Li Guangyu arrived in Los Angeles, he went directly to Peng Xiaoli's office and asked her, "Xiaoli, is there any situation in Texas?"
Peng Xiaoli said: "Li Sheng, at present, there is no abnormal situation in Texas as before. â
Li Guangyu was temporarily relieved when he heard this, but he still told Peng Xiaoli: "You let the person in charge over there pay attention to the situation over there, it's really not good, you can withdraw from the Texas market when necessary." â
"Li Sheng, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the situation over there at any time. Peng Xiaoli replied. 11
