As the relationship between the two allies was officially established, Lu Li quietly withdrew the dragon blood hidden in his sleeve. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, he had prepared for the worst when he arrived, and if the president of JPMorgan Chase Bank could not be seduced and bribed, then he would forcibly transform him into a half-dragon like he did with Nissa Serrano.

However, there is a huge risk in doing so, after all, Jamie Dimon is not a cat or a dog, but a banker who stands at the top of Wall Street's financial field, and every once in a while he undergoes a comprehensive physical examination under the arrangement of the board of directors, once the doctor finds that his physical fitness has suddenly improved to the extent that he has broken through the limits of human beings, then the possibility of extraneous problems will be greatly increased.

Unless he had to, Lu Li didn't want to expose his hole cards too early.

Fortunately, it is impossible to be human without weaknesses, and Jamie Dimon's weakness is the ambition to hold on to power forever.

You must know that due to the high inheritance tax set by the U.S. government, most of the large enterprises with assets of more than 10 billion yuan are often very dispersed, and the largest shareholder of more than 50 percent of the company holds no more than 5 percent of the shares.

Because of this, control of large companies is generally not in the hands of shareholders, but in the hands of the company's management.

Unless there is a major mistake, under normal circumstances, shareholders cannot really interfere with the management of the company, and the only thing they can do is to supervise and prevent some people from stealing and so on.

As for some rumors such as the Morgan and Rockefeller families secretly controlling the United States, people with a little brain will scoff at this.

You don't even need to think about too complicated issues, remove the part donated to charitable foundations, simply calculate the total amount of property owned by the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, and then calculate how many generations they have gone through, and finally check the proportion of inheritance tax in the year of the death of the family leader, divide and subtract, and you can quickly come to a conclusion.

It can be said that according to the current legal system of the United States, the possibility of continuing power and wealth through blood has been eliminated from the root.

Even if a rich and powerful person is, at most he can only create a relatively good learning environment and growth environment for his female offspring, or leave a well-managed interpersonal network.

If future generations work hard enough, they will naturally be able to rely on these advantages to succeed, but if they only know how to enjoy themselves on the wealth of their fathers, then the Morgan family, which once ruled most of Wall Street, but eventually disappeared completely, is the best example.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the upper class in the United States pays far more attention to relationships than to domestic countries when choosing partners for cooperation, rather than simply looking at ability.

Generally speaking, if you want to enter the upper class, money is only the most basic ticket, and a large and complex network of interpersonal relationships is the basis that can really make a person gain power.

Clearly, as president of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon has always had a power struggle with the board.

In particular, the famous "London whale" disaster caused by a trader's misjudgment in 2012 directly caused JPMorgan Chase Bank to lose more than $2 billion, its stock price plummeted by 10 percent, indirect economic losses exceeded $6 billion, and the government also issued a fine of more than $900 million, which made him strained his relationship with shareholders for a long time.

Under tremendous pressure, he had to temporarily relinquish his position as chairman of the banking division in the following year in order to alleviate this increasingly acute contradiction.

It was this crisis that made Jamie Dimon aware that although he still maintained a dominant position within JPMorgan Chase, his power was increasingly constrained.

In order to combat this constraint, he took many methods, but in the end they proved to be very effective, until Lu Li suddenly appeared, so that he obtained the key to unlock the shackles of power.

There is a good saying that power is like a drug, once you taste it, people will involuntarily fall into it, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over willingly.

......

No one knows what kind of deal Lu Li made with Jamie Dimon in the car, and no one knows what it means for JPMorgan Chase Bank, or for the entire United States.

One thing is certain, though, and that is that when they both returned to the conference room, they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Are you back?" asked a board member named Jackson who hurriedly looked up.

Jamie Dimon replied with a smile: "Very good! Dear Lu promised to provide 100 percent technical support to the new materials company, and also agreed to release 10 percent of the shares of Alibi Biotechnology in a year's time, and we have the right of first refusal at the market price." ”

"What?!Oh God! It's amazing! I bet that in the next three years, our company's stock will definitely be like a plane, no, a rocket! It will soar like a rocket! Maybe it will be able to exceed 400 billion in market value next year!"

Another director also stood up excitedly and cheered loudly.

There's no way not to get excited, knowing that the sharp rise in JPMorgan Chase Bank's stock is equivalent to the growth of their own wealth.

According to JPMorgan's current market capitalization, it is about 200 billion, and 400 billion is equivalent to doubling, and anyone who hears this good news can't help but jump for joy.

"Hehe, gentlemen, please don't get excited. The conditions I have just mentioned are met on the condition that we are able to sign the agreement today. Now tell me, how are you talking?" asked Jamie Dimon with a deliberately calm look.

Jackson glanced at Wilson, who was expressionless not far away, and Zhang Ling, who was strained in his face, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that something is not going well, to be precise, they are extremely dissatisfied with some of the terms of the agreement." ”

"Oh, which ones?" said Jamie Damon's eyes, with a subtle hint of cunning.

"It's about equity. The lady Sarah strongly requested us to add a private placement clause to ensure that Mr. Luk's 2.5% stake would not be diluted. Jackson explained in a low voice.

"So what do you mean?" asked Jamie Dimon knowingly, procrastinatingly.

Jackson turned his head and exchanged glances with the remaining directors, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Hahahaha, of course I agreed. ”

"That's right! It's nothing compared to what we're about to get. ”

"Louise, take this contract down and revise it according to Miss Sarah's suggestion, then reprint a few copies and send it over. ”

......

Looking at the greedy faces of these board members, Jamie Dimon lowered his voice and said to Lu Li beside him: "Dear Lu, have you seen it? This is the truest portrayal of financial capital. As long as you can bring them a steady stream of benefits, they will offer you as if you were a god. ”
