Chapter 524: Fengzi Gets Married!
The Morgan Alliance and the Morgan family are collectively known as the Morgan Alliance, also known as the Morgan Consortium.
In this Morgan Alliance, the board of directors is led by the Morgan Company, which is linked to many banks, thus forming a large and well-organized "Morgan system".
In terms of finance, the Morgan consortium controls dozens of banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions in the United States.
In addition, the Morgan consortium also controls large international companies such as U.S. Steel Corporation, General Motors, GE, IBM, AT&T, etc.
It can be seen that Li Zetian's acquisition of IBM and GE is tantamount to digging into the corner of the Morgan consortium, and it is extremely difficult.
Li Zetian actually did not expect to be able to acquire IBM and GE, but the reason why he launched the acquisition was to challenge the Morgan consortium head-on on the one hand, and to show his strength to the world on the other hand.
"Look, the Morgan consortium is a bird, I'm going to buy them!"
"The days of the Morgan consortium are over, and Chronos· Li is the giant of this era!!"
I have to say that the acquisition of IBM and GE has indeed caused a sensation in the United States. These two things are being discussed now, but people's reverence for the Morgan consortium has been imperceptibly reduced.
From this moment on, more and more people began to move closer to Li Zetian and surrender to him.
Because people have learned from these two things that the power of American conglomerates has changed!
……
IBM and GE are very good companies, especially GE, which is gradually transforming into a global digital industrial company, which is very valued by Li Zetian!
Li Zetian's acquisition of IBM and GE this time is not false, in fact, he has secretly controlled a lot of shares in the two companies. If the Morgan consortium does not resist violently enough, Li Zetian will take advantage of the situation to buy IBM and GE.
In fact, the Morgan consortium is not monolithic.
In the face of interests, Li Zetian believes that even if it is the Morgan Alliance, there will be a mutiny. Besides, leaving the Morgan consortium, there is nothing wrong with the more promising Li Zetian, and then form a more powerful Li consortium.
In the subprime mortgage crisis, the Morgan consortium suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the U.S. government suppressed Li Zetian, which once again led to an economic crisis in the United States. After that, Li Zetian deliberately suppressed the Morgan consortium.
This series of blows has already broken the muscles and bones of the Morgan consortium, and its strength is far less than before.
It was supposed to take a few years of recuperation and recuperate, deliberately rejuvenating.
However, Li Zetian didn't give them a chance.
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
Li Zetian wants to break up the American consortium!
In fact, Li Zetian's investment of $1 trillion in the United States was mainly used to acquire the shares of the consortium and dismantle the strength of the major consortiums. At the same time, it can strengthen itself.
At present, Li Zetian alone has more than 5 trillion US dollars in cash reserves, which are just a pile of waste paper if they are not spent.
Buying companies and technologies is what really strengthens you!!
……
United States, White House.
The head of the judiciary is debating with the vice president, who is temporarily in the presidency, whether to block Mr. Lee's takeover.
Both of them were very cautious and cautious, for fear that Li Zetian would leave the United States again if he disagreed.
"The matter...... It is better for the judiciary not to intervene, lest it provoke Chronos· Li。 In my opinion, let the Morgan consortium resist the Chronos· Li's acquisition has made it difficult for him to retreat!" Vice President Gabi Carr thought for a moment and said in a deep voice to the head of the judiciary.
"Well, Vice President Karl, what you say makes sense! Then do as you want, and I will send someone to express the attitude of the United States government to the Morgan consortium. ”
"Hmm. ”
……
The Morgan Consortium, a solemn and luxurious conference room, is home to dozens of people. Judging from their dress and temperament, they look like the big names of American high society.
"What do you think, Morgan?" asked an old man with gray hair, sitting in the first place on the right hand side of the long table, looking at a man in his forties wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses who sat at the first place.
"Strong boycott!" replied John Morgan, "IBM and GE are important components of the Morgan consortium and must not be ceded to Chronos·li!!"
With that, John Morgan swept his gaze towards everyone, as if asking for everyone's permission.
These alliances hold a number of shares in IBM and GE.
As long as they are not biased towards Li Zetian, it will be difficult for Li Zetian's acquisition to succeed.
Everyone looked at each other, and some even lowered their heads, not daring to look into John Morgan's eyes.
In the past of the economic crisis, many people have suffered heavy losses. Now, Li Zetian has offered a price that is difficult for them to refuse, so much so that they are a little tempted.
"Oh, shit! Li must have sent someone to contact them, and he also offered a very high purchase price!!" John Morgan's expression changed slightly, and he cursed in his heart.
"Ladies and gentle!!men," John Morgan said aloud, his voice deafening, "must not let the Chronos· Li successfully acquired IBM and GE, otherwise, it will definitely increase his arrogance, and then he will have to inch in, and he will not take our Morgan consortium in his eyes more and more!"
"It is precisely because of the existence of the Morgan consortium that we can have the status and wealth we have now! Li's ultimate goal is to bring down the Morgan consortium, so we must 'not give up an inch of land'!!"
"In the acquisition of IBM and GE, we want to make him sink into the sand and retreat in the face of difficulties!!
"Bang bang bang!"
There was applause in the room.
"Morgan, you're right, I agree!"
"That's right, we're going to take a firm stand against Chronos· Li buys IBM and GE!"
Everyone said so, but what they would do in the end still depends on how many chips Li Zetian will increase.
……
Despite the obstacles, Li Zetian's acquisition is still ongoing.
At the end of January, something suddenly happened that made Li Zetian happy.
On this day, William brought Tina to the house, and said to Li Zetian with excitement: "Dad, I'm going to be a father!!
The sentence was a bit tongue-twisting, Li Zetian didn't understand it at first, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
I'm going to be a grandfather!!
At this time, Li Zetian looked at Tina, his eyes involuntarily moved to her abdomen, and asked excitedly, "Tina, you, are you pregnant?"
Tina smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've been pregnant for almost a month." ”
Li Zetian laughed heartily and said: "Okay!! William, why don't you go and tell your mother and them, if the two of them know about this, they will be very happy!"
"Okay, Dad, I'll go right away. ”
William put his arm around Tina and went upstairs.
After a while, Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin took Tina's hand with a happy face, William followed behind, and the four of them came downstairs.
Everyone sat on the sofa in the living room, Li Zetian looked at Tina, and said with a smile: "Tina, you even have children now, I think you should get married as soon as possible, what do you think?"
Tina glanced at William, then at Li Zetian, nodded and responded, "Hmm......"
Li Zetian nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "Does that guy Bill know that you are pregnant?"
"I haven't had time to tell him yet. ”
"Call him right now and tell him the good news. In the meantime, let's discuss your marriage to William. ”
"Hmm. ”
Although Bill Gates's family cannot be compared with the Lee family, it still has a lot of influence in the United States. This will be of great help to Li Zetian's next efforts to win over or annex the consortium.
