Chapter 1349 Jack's Surrender
Google is definitely the giant in the entire Internet industry. It was established in 1998 and has only been established for seven years this year. But it has left many Internet companies that have been established for decades behind.
Especially with the advent of the Internet bubble in the past few years, almost all Internet industries have been affected. But it bucked the trend and rose and became a new star in the Internet industry.
In just seven years, it became the world's largest search engine company. After going public last year, its stock price has skyrocketed for more than six consecutive months, making it one of the Internet companies with the largest increase. It has become a member of the tens-billion-dollar Internet company club.
What is particularly important is that compared to China's Baidu, which is just a search terminal, Google has its own browser. In other words, it is equivalent to a combination of 361 plus a hundred degrees.
So while it is the world's largest search engine company, it is also the world's largest website. Every day's news and every link on it can be said to be valuable. It is precisely because of this that its stock price has risen for six consecutive months.
Even though its market share dropped to a certain extent due to its breakup with Yahoo, it still did not affect Google's strong stock price.
Some people predict that within ten years Google will be a member of the club of Internet companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars. But as someone who has experienced it, Yang Dongxu knows better that it is not just a club worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He is a member of the club of trillions of dollars. He is an absolute Internet giant, and his influence is no worse than that of Microsoft and IBM.
"The stock prices of some companies cannot be measured with money, just like some celebrities are obviously very rich, even richer than some investors. They have real status but are not as high as investors. Channels, resources, and connections cannot be measured with money. "Yang Dongxu leaned back in the chair with a faint smile on his face.
"It is true that Google's current stock price cannot be measured in terms of money, but the shares in your hands are not necessarily yours, such as the companies you invest in." Jack's face was still calm and calm.
"Are you going to use political means to deal with me? Is this too flattering to me?" Yang Dongxu smiled softly, "But I do have a lot of investments in the United States, or in Europe and the United States as a whole.
But these investments are just investments with shareholder status, it does not mean that all these companies belong to me. And most of the companies I have invested in are large companies. Are you sure that in order to deal with me, you will let the image of these large companies be damaged?
And more importantly, I don't feel like I have any leverage in your hands. If some unfounded charges are brought against me, I will shoot. "
"This is the United States!" Jack's face turned cold. ,
Apparently the shooting Yang Yao mentioned reminded him of some bad memories.
"I know this is the United States, but the United States is not Little Jack's America, nor is it what you say. Indeed, Los Angeles is your territory, the successor of the California Consortium.
But you haven't taken over yet, and the position of the successor doesn't seem to be stable. Especially when the arms orders in your hands are constantly decreasing, and they are all going to the eastern consortium.
If you dare to cause trouble for me, I will deal with you. Naturally, I am not qualified to deal with the entire consortium. But for you, a successor who has failed in business, I think as long as you pay enough benefits, you will get both worlds. For example, paying all Google shares is the most expensive. "
"You" Jack's eyes were filled with anger instantly. He has grown so big, and as one of the successors of a large consortium, this is the first time he has been threatened like this.
Especially after being threatened like this, he was unable to refute, and even if the other party really did so, he would probably succeed. This filled his heart with anger, and anger was mixed with uneasiness.
"If you want to cooperate, just talk carefully. Again, you are just the successor now, not the controller of the consortium. To be honest, if we really talk about the resources and capital controlled, I, a young man who flies to the consortium, seem to It's just a little bit more powerful than that." Yang Dongxu made a small distance between his thumb and index finger.
"You seem to know more than I thought." Jack looked at Yang Dongxu with a gloomy expression. He had indeed underestimated the young man in front of him. This was the second time.
The first time, I can only say that it was carelessness, and the people who were doing things were too pig-minded. But this time, it can't be explained by carelessness. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why his position in the consortium is becoming more and more embarrassing.
Looking at Jack's look, Yang Dongxu wanted to say that with Kennedy's "inside agent" here, he would be weird if he didn't investigate you to the bottom.
Compared to Jack, he always felt that he was superior and didn't care about him, a country bumpkin from China. For those who could kill him, Yang Dongxu wanted to find out the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, and then find an opportunity to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.
"Can we talk? Everyone is very busy and there is not so much time to waste." Yang Dongxu asked, as if you will leave if you don't talk.
Anyway, he is not the one who is anxious now, and he knows exactly why Jack came to him. The reason, as mentioned before, is that some arms orders in Jack's hands were robbed by some consortiums in the east. As a result, the profits of the consortium he managed continued to shrink, and the position of the heir was in danger.
In fact, it is not just the arms industry. In recent years, other industries of the California consortium have also been squeezed out of their living space by other consortiums.
For example, earlier, the California Consortium was in charge of several large banks. Among them, Bank of America was the first bank in the United States.
But now the largest voting rights of Bank of America have been taken away by the Morgan Consortium and the First Citibank Consortium, which has caused the entire California Consortium's income and market share in the banking industry to shrink instantly.
Now that the banking industry of the California Consortium has been swallowed up and digested very well, some consortiums have begun to look at other industries of this consortium, among which the arms industry is the first to bear the brunt.
In fact, it is not just the California Consortium. Many American consortiums that rose through World War II have slowly begun to decline after entering the financial industry, mining, chemicals, military and other industries and reaching the peak of the consortium.
Part of the reason is due to the mistakes in the development decision-making of the consortium, and part of the reason. Naturally, it is the suppression and annexation of those old consortiums.
The California Consortium was targeted by the Morgan Consortium and the First Citibank Consortium for the banking industry, and by other consortiums for military industry orders. This is not an isolated case.
"You can't keep your shares in Google if you don't talk to me. The US consortium does not allow a company of this size to have so many shares in the hands of a foreigner."
"NO, NO, NO, don't be so absolute. For example, Japan has Mitsubishi and Mitsui consortiums. Their Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Sony have a lot of investments in the United States and occupy a large market.
Let's take the simplest example. Although Japan's automobile industry was in trouble before, it has squeezed the large automobile industries in the hands of some consortiums in recent years. Isn't it still alive and well?
Why is this the case? Are the US consortiums afraid of the Japanese consortium? Obviously not, it's just because many of these industries are very The shares of the United States with more status and position. So the interests are eternal.
I just need to show my muscles and let others know that I am not easy to mess with. Then the development of Google will pull in some powerful consortiums, such as Morgan.
I think after paying a great price to take me down, the Morgan consortium will consider that I hold a certain amount of Google shares. Especially when I can help Google develop in the Asian market.
So the high cost of taking me down is not proportional to the benefits. What's more important is that other consortiums will take advantage of the situation when I am taken down. At that time, the Morgan consortium may feel that it is better for a Chinese to hold Google shares than an American. "
Jack fell silent and did not speak.
Indeed!
The interests are eternal. Don't look at these American consortiums that seem to be united with others that are not very friendly to China, because they can make more profits in this way.
When they can make more profits by being friendly to China in a few years, they will change their unfriendly faces without hesitation. Talk about various cooperation with China with a smile.
In addition, the American consortiums themselves are also constantly competing, and sometimes it is not uncommon to even fight with dog brains. Therefore, if Yang Dongxu holds Google shares, it will be more in line with the interests of the consortium behind Google, and these consortiums will not mind whether the person in front of them is Chinese or not.
"Your conditions!" Jack said after a long silence, his face was straight, without the contempt just now.
"This is the attitude of negotiating cooperation." Yang Dongxu laughed.
Jack suppressed his inner restlessness and took a sip of coffee.
"Don't think about Google's shares. I won't sell them. Not only will I not sell them, I also need you to cover for me. For example, when other people pay attention to these shares, you are responsible for helping me to block them."
"What can I get?" Jack was not angry, nor did he care about Yang Dongxu's tone to him.
"An investment right of a very good Internet company."
"Can it make more money than Google?" Jack asked.
"It is impossible to make more money than Google, but its influence may not be less than Google."
Jack frowned.
"Invest in this company I mentioned. As long as it is well managed, it can go public next year. It will be a period of rapid development in the next few years. Although it is not as profitable as Google, you can invest less than 50 million in two rounds of financing at most, and it will not be a problem to increase it tenfold in the future.
So the profit from this investment, plus the influence of this website. It is enough to make up for your big loss in arms orders and explain it to the consortium, and you may even be praised, consolidate and even take a step closer to the throne.
And then again, your investment in Google now can only be regarded as getting on the train halfway. Not to mention the huge investment funds, no one knows what Google will develop into in the future. What if it loses?
Investing in this company has the lowest risk and the highest return. More importantly, it is unknown how many years it will take for Google's shares to double and make back your investment, and as long as this company is well managed, it may be listed next year."
"Which company?"
"YouTube!"
"Such a direct answer. Aren't you afraid that I will invest, throw you away, and then find more big people to swallow up the shares in your hands?"
"You can try!" Yang Dongxu spread his hands and smiled gently.
