Chapter 52: Abacus

"I have always thought that our two companies have a full foundation for cooperation, let's see, isn't this the result of friendship after sincere contact between the two sides?" Li Mubai smiled and gave the latter a reassuring look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Grubb's heart was dripping blood, but he had no better way, because only by tying Orange Technology to the chariot of Yuntong could all their strategic plans be realized.

Otherwise, under the joint encirclement and suppression of Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, Amex will never want to have abundant financial resources to set foot in that key core area.

How sad it is for a financial institution that only provides services to capitalists!

Only capital, capital! is what the company wants, the sense of achievement brought by the manipulation of capital, and the right that comes with manipulating capital, is every man's greatest long-cherished wish, no one can refuse to hold tens of billions of dollars of power in their hands, that will be the whole world prostrate under their feet of the great achievement.

Grub bowed his head in front of interests, just like in the previous consortium meeting, they did everything to excuse Orange Technology and Li Mubai, he obeyed, and directly put his position under Li Mubai, if the latter was willing, he was willing to give everything except his life, including his soul!

Li Mubai was very satisfied with his attitude, and in the initial plan, his eyes were aimed at Yuntong.

This company has the world's largest customer business information and friendly cooperation tradition, their customer resources cover almost all the world's industry giants, including every billionaire, they can clearly know the preferences, needs and personality of every billionaire customer, in the era of information economy, nothing is more important.

"Mr. Grubb, I think you need an opportunity to meet with me individually, and we will have an in-depth and full conversation about this cooperation. Li Mubai gave his signal and made a gesture to invite Grub to go with him.

The latter was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "I think I'll take every opportunity to satisfy you." ”

The two chairmen of Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase did not get into the car at this time, they just watched all this happening quietly, and did not try to stop or interrupt, because they knew that in the world of capital profit-seeking, only chips are the only winners and losers in negotiations.

Powerful companies such as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase cannot force Li Mubai to choose their company, because the other party is not a single person, but an entire alliance of business consortiums.

This is why Li Mubai handed over the technology at the beginning, and was willing to share the benefits of the technology with these American technology companies.

Behind him, standing are staunch allies Intel, Oracle, Cisco, Qualcomm and Amex, as well as friendly collaborators Microsoft, Google and many other super technology groups, covering almost all the star companies in the American technology industry, the shareholders behind these companies together are enough to make the whole free America more lovely, at least until the president presses the password of the suitcase, no one dares to face such an alliance.

Don't you see that Motorola, which has a lot of cooperation with the US military, has cleanly disarmed and surrendered?

Even Steve Jobs, who once shouted that he would never say die, could only nest in his office, mutilating the few hairs, but he couldn't come up with any way to target Orange Technology.

Don't you see that the Samsung Group, which tried to attack Orange Technology, was instantly taken down by the South Korean consortium and the American consortium?

If it weren't for Li Mubai's interference, Samsung Group might have to change its name and be swallowed up by the consortium now.

Don't you see the Finnish Nokia Group, which complained in the EU that Orange Technology infringed on their business technology and was ready to restrict the development of Orange Technology in Europe, but then it was slapped back to Northern Europe by the national capital led by Germany and France, and no longer dare to say a word?

Nokia Group is now actively changing its own concept, on the one hand, sending people to contact Orange Technology, preparing to obtain the key technology of smart phones from Orange Technology through business negotiations, so as to take the lead in the smartphone era.

However, this request was categorically rejected by Orange Technology, what kind of joke, Li Mubai has long been regarded as a monopoly market for his own Chinese food, how can it be integrated into other companies to enter the market and get a piece of the pie!

Even after being forcefully refused, Nokia did not give up, but it did not dare to use any overt countermeasures, because it would be subjected to a more violent and terrifying counterattack, which is the free judgment of the whole world, and a small Finnish government and Nokia Group absolutely cannot afford it.

Therefore, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase also did not dare to coerce Orange Technology and Li Mubai excessively, because they knew that the other party had hole cards enough to ignore the threats of these two companies.

It is impossible for them to even make threats, because in the technology alliance consortium behind Orange Technology, there are many shareholders, that is, shareholders of their two companies, who are enjoying the benefits brought by Orange Technology, and at the same time, they are constantly pushing Orange Technology to their competitors.

You must know that there are countless large companies in the United States, how many traditional companies want to cross the line to high-tech enterprises with high profits, they want people, money, and money, and what is missing is just a suitable project, if Orange Technology is willing to open the door to them for technology licensing, then there will be a result that all vested interests are afraid of in their dreams.

The threshold has been artificially lowered, Orange Technology has come up with advanced technology far beyond the current market, according to their assessment, these technologies even after ten years, have the strength to occupy the market, this time, is enough for some of the original in the field of science and technology without heritage and sales network of traditional companies to survive, and develop into a giant that threatens their life and death, a new alliance relying on the survival of Orange Technology.

However, Sandywell, who can create a myth of the Traveler Group, will definitely not admit defeat easily, he smiled at Jamie Dimon, and his eyes kept staring at Rolls Royce, who was slowly starting, "Let's negotiate peace between our two companies, temporarily join forces in this cooperation, and first squeeze the Express Company out of the list of potential partners for cooperation, how about it?!"

Jamie Dimon shrugged, "Why not?"

So, after Li Mubai invited Grubb to sit in a car, Jamie Dimon and Sandywell, the two biggest competitors on Wall Street, were also temporarily united because of interests.

"However, I think that the cooperation between Yuntong and Orange Technology is already imperative, I learned through some private secret channels that the shareholders of Yuntong have reached an agreement and are ready to accept Orange Technology into the market, for which they provide 8% of the shares with full voting rights and independent exercise rights, and even they have a second set of plans, the total authorized shares will exceed 15%, but the subsequent part, will not exercise voting rights independently. When Jamie Dimon got into the car, he suddenly decided to show some sincerity in order to convince the once biggest rival of his hopes of cooperation.

Sandywell nodded solemnly, "It seems that you JPMorgan Chase knows a lot of inside information, but this is our advantage, many shareholders in JPMorgan Chase are shareholders of Amex Company, I believe that in the future, you will provide more insider information support for this cooperation." ”

Jamie Dimon wrung out a bottle of red wine from the car cabinet, "Oh, Porto, when did you collect this grade of red wine?"

Sandy Wil laughed, "Don't you think that an occasional change of flavor can make our taste buds more sensitive?"

"I don't think so, we at JPMorgan Chase will always be true to our philosophy, and that will never change. In just a few words, the two exchanged the demands of the interest groups behind them, and Jamie Dimon clearly told the other party not to vainly expect that in this cooperation, JPMorgan Chase would give up his shares in exchange for Li Mubai's concessions.

After all, in the eyes of JPMorgan Chase shareholders, JPMorgan Chase, which is in the layout of the Wall Street market, has enough to offset the benefits of cooperation with Orange Technology through securities and other markets every year. They don't have enough time to stabilize their territory now, so how can they have time to compete with Amex.

After all, the latter is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and has no baggage at all, as a common shareholder of the two companies, in fact, many people are not willing to JPMorgan Chase to join the competition, which will lead to damage to their interests.

But the sudden addition of Citigroup, let these people perceive the coming crisis, if the cooperation with Orange Technology is Express, then they are also profitable, but let Citigroup successfully lead this cooperation, then many of them will face a chicken-and-egg situation, so this is why the chairman of JPMorgan Chase put down the important affairs of Wall Street and flew to Los Angeles to pick up the plane in person.

"Those people behind you, who are eating the dividends of Amex in their left hand, but holding JPMorgan Chase shares that restrict Amex in their right hand, and now they are sending you, a firefighter, from New York to Los Angeles in order to restrict Citi's entry, aren't they afraid of a fire in the backyard?" Sandywell suddenly felt a little depressed, because in the alliance that seemed to be 2V1 against Amex, Citi was actually alone.

While Citi and JPMorgan Chase now ostensibly form an alliance against Amex, only God knows how much of an alliance it will play.

But he had to do this, otherwise JPMorgan Chase and Amex would complement each other in the cooperation with Orange Technology, and in the future, Citigroup would have to face an embarrassing situation, that is, Amex, which has mastered the huge cash flow of Orange Technology and has the support of the consortium behind the other party, will form an overwhelming advantage over Citi in terms of private customer resources.

Once this happens, the century-old Citi will face weakness until it is replaced by a new financial giant.

Sandywell would never allow that to happen during his tenure, so he did whatever it took to win the forgiveness of JPMorgan Chase, and he borrowed the bottle of red wine to tell him that Citigroup's partnership with Orange Technology was inevitable.

In fact, as the chairman of a large American company, Jamie Dimon and Citi have not had a bad relationship, but the difference is that the two companies have long overlapped the same goal, which makes the strategic contradiction between the two companies, but it is not irreconcilable, as long as the economy grows smoothly, the two companies will have enough profits, and there will be no major disputes.

But now that Wall Street chaos is beginning to appear, a new financial storm is coming, all financial companies are looking around for an opportunity to survive the winter, and Orange Technology has delivered itself to the door at this time, this is a wonderful cake that everyone salivates, even if the cake is poisonous, they will close their eyes and take a bite.

Thinking about this silently in his mind, Jamie Dimon smiled and poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip and said, "I think sometimes it's very good for people to make a little bit of a change." ”

"But the people behind you, don't think so, most of them have only drunk one brand of red wine in their lives. Sandywell is not afraid at all, because a super company like JPMorgan Chase, if it wants to change suddenly, it is not an overnight thing, unless the chaos on Wall Street affects their interests, otherwise this group of old men who eat old ways will not give up the benefits they have received.

"Maybe God can't make them change, but money can!" Jamie Dimon knows that some things can't deceive the other party, the financial turmoil on Wall Street has taken shape, the crisis of large investment banks has reached the verge of breaking out, and JPMorgan Chase has also suffered heavy losses in this financial turmoil, they need a new performance growth point, otherwise I am afraid that even they will be in big trouble.

Although Sandywell knew some inside information, but when he suddenly heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Has the situation reached such a dangerous time?"

"It's more serious than you think, some people behind me are in a meeting to decide to give up one of the five major investment banks, or some, they can't hold on, and the bonds involving real estate, if they don't get rid of it as soon as possible, it will inevitably consume the last dollar bill in their hands, so I said that after they suffered huge losses, they will immediately turn to the road of cooperation with Orange Technology. Jamie Dimon explained with a smile and didn't seem to be at all worried about his situation.

"Then I wish you all the best of luck. Sandywell knows that the other party dares to tell him, because Citigroup has not prepared in advance, even if he wants to lay out the block, it is impossible, so the two sides can only rely on their own abilities at present, and can exchange some key information, but it is impossible to work together!
