Chapter 1523 Do You Want to Gamble?

As big guys, their sources of information are very rich and accurate, so it is easy to see the essence through the phenomenon.

So everyone in the reception room knows that Google's current achievements are due to the two founders of Google, who are now praised by major newspapers and stockbrokers.

But Google can get to this point today, and even has the posture of becoming a giant, which is inseparable from the Kennedy family and Jack Jr. standing behind it.

Without these two big guys standing behind, Google would have been swallowed up by other American consortiums long ago.

Of course, the Kennedy family and Jack Jr. have also gained a lot from such efforts.

Needless to say, the Kennedy family has strong political power, and they have finally begun to slowly make up for their economic shortcomings.

And after having money in hand, they can win more seats in Congress, and there is hope to regain military power.

Jack Jr., let alone what happened to the California consortium before by those big consortiums in the east?

Although the entire consortium is very depressed now, they have seen the hope of reversal with Google shares in hand.

In particular, traditional media basically stand on the side of the old consortium. If they want to build momentum for something, they have to look at other people's faces. Now that they have Google in their hands, it seems that they are going to launch some flagship products.

You clamor on traditional media, I can fight back on online media. With a channel to make my own voice heard, many things will be much easier to handle. For example, when campaigning for a seat in parliament, you will have a great advantage.

With these two successful cases in front, Yang Dongxu's proposal is undoubtedly full of temptation for everyone present. This is indeed not a big pie. If they operate well, they really have the hope of getting on the table.

"I need to think about it." Charles said.

"Me too." Picken nodded.

Sandway stood up, and Dean and Jerde looked at each other and stood up.

They are all big guys, and they are all big guys who have fought through storms and waves.

But at this moment, they were all moved by Yang Dongxu's hint. After all, who would want to be the second if they have the opportunity to be the boss? What's more, now they are not even the second, they are all the third, or even the sixth.

"I will only wait for you for three days. If you don't recover after three days, I will find someone else to try." Yang Dongxu stood up and saw the guests off.

Everyone left with a frown on their faces.

Great opportunities are accompanied by great risks. Smartphones and the Internet products Yang Dongxu mentioned have great benefits, so great that they can give them a push and let them squeeze into the poker table to sit down.

But the risks they face are also great. After all, none of those old-fashioned consortiums are easy to mess with. Even if you don't squeeze them off the table, you squeeze the space and make them feel depressed. So before you get to the table, they will definitely find ways to kick you back.

But if they choose not to cooperate, they are likely to lose their only chance to get to the table.

Especially this opportunity is to go through the channels of smartphones and the Internet that the consortium does not control at present. This is simply a good opportunity given by God.

Because in traditional industries, let alone squeezing into the table, they don't even dare to have such thoughts. The reason why the consortium is called a consortium is that in the industry they control, no one dares to provoke them, and they never let the forces that challenge them grow.

These new forces that have the opportunity to challenge them in traditional industries will either become more powerful nutrients for the consortium or disappear completely. There is no third way to go.

"Will they compromise?" Zhang Yue asked after sending everyone away and turning back.

To be honest, he was also amazed when the Honor mobile phone came out, and he knew that it was an epoch-making product. But he never thought that his boss would use such an epoch-making product to carry out such a big operation.

Once this cooperation is successful, the assets of his boss will expand rapidly, and his social influence will also be impossible to be the same.

"If they want to go further, this is their only chance. We have a choice, and they have no choice." Yang Dongxu said.

In modern times, there are only two opportunities to be promoted to a chaebol, one is the Internet, and the other is smartphones.

There are not many opportunities on the Internet side, because the Internet in the United States has been developed for a long time, unlike the domestic Internet that has just emerged.

Although many powerful Internet companies have risen rapidly in recent years, except for a few Internet companies that Yang Dongxu invested from scratch. All Internet companies with a little growth potential have basically been divided up by chaebols.

Therefore, smartphones have become the only chance for these bigwigs who want to get on the table. Otherwise, they can only wait and see if they can live until Musk studies the spacecraft to Mars, and maybe they can still seize the opportunity to get on the table at that time.

Otherwise, before that, in traditional industries, they can't invest in places like China and Russia that are not affected by the United States. Even if they go to these two places, it is impossible for new chaebol forces to emerge. So if they miss this opportunity, they will never have another chance in their lives.

And Yang Dongxu seems to be very anxious to find a partner in this matter, because Apple is chasing behind. But he is definitely not the most anxious one.

If it doesn't work, he will directly take out most of the benefits to cooperate with the US consortium, although it is a tiger's skin. But as long as he occupies the pit of the world's first smartphone, he can still have a series of operations later.

It’s not that there is no hope of a comeback. For example, in the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, or in the 5G era, he will have the opportunity to make a comeback.

But Sandeway and others obviously don't have a second chance.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Jelder and Dean left together, and Sandway and three Wall Street tycoons gathered together.

I have to say that Yang Dongxu is very good at selecting collaborators this time. If Jeld and Dean want to surpass the royal family, they are not bad at all.

The three Sandeway people really have a chance to rise half a step up again if they dare to fight hard.

They now need capital and connections, as well as connections. What is different from those consortiums is the number of congressmen they support and the huge industrial group.

With their current assets and connections, they have reached a critical point. They are the kind of existence that will join forces and be suppressed by the consortium if they make a slight breakthrough.

Because the consortium can allow rich people like them to exist, but it will never allow groups that threaten the consortium to exist. As long as the consortium feels pressure, it will suffer crazy suppression.

Therefore, in traditional industries, they cannot get rid of the shackles of consortiums. They do not have deep connections in the Internet, and they cannot compete with consortiums that are currently focusing on the Internet industry to compete for business. Then the only way left is the smartphone.

“I admit that it is indeed an epoch-making product, but whether it can push us another half step forward, I honestly cannot guarantee this.

Moreover, you and I both know the political constitution of the United States. Once you start making bets, it is a big gamble. If the Chinese lose the bet, they still have China's retreat. If we lose the bet, we will have no choice but to seek political asylum. "

Americans are very convenient when doing certain things, so Yang Dongxu needs their help. But in the event of failure, being an American is a life-threatening talisman, and is not as safe as Yang Dongxu, a Chinese.

"If it is possible to sign a gambling agreement, the risk is high, but it is not impossible to do it. Now the focus of the consortium is on the Internet, and most of the energy is involved in the competition between consortiums.

For smartphones, they currently only care about Apple, but Apple is one step behind Honor, so this is indeed an opportunity.

If, I say if, according to the gambling agreement, the smartphone really grows into a behemoth. Then we can block all our net worth.

After all, if we don’t sit at the poker table, within two generations at most, our current industry will evaporate. "Charles sighed.

Sandway and Picken both frowned.

There are many self-made multi-millionaires and billionaires in the United States. It seems that the business atmosphere is good and fair, and there is great hope for a grassroots counterattack.

But in fact, these counterattacks are all under the control of consortiums. For example, the news always promotes the rich generation who have made their fortune from scratch.

As for the rich second generation, or even the third generation, very few outstanding people are publicized, whether they are celebrities, politicians, company bosses, or business wizards.

In addition to financial groups, other wealthy second or third generations in Europe and the United States always give people the feeling that one generation is inferior to the other.

The chaebol can be passed down from generation to generation, but the heirs of other families and business companies that are one step away from the chaebol have never appeared, and they have further outstanding descendants based on the strong foundation of their elders.

Don’t any of the descendants of these people stand out?

Obviously not!

Rather, they had already touched the ceiling, and the way further was blocked.

For example, if Bill Gates, the current richest man, passes away, even if his son inherits all Bill Gates' family property, he will have the ability to continue to expand his wealth and status based on the foundation created by me, and continue to move forward to get closer to the consortium. ?

If Musk dies at an old age, he has not yet realized his dream of going to Mars and has not taken the final step to become a consortium. Then does his son or daughter have a chance to be promoted to the consortium based on his foundation?

Impossible, impossible.

As long as those who reach the ceiling set by the consortium will either encounter the opportunity of great social changes and become a consortium, or they will only be able to reach the height of their parents' generation in this life and cannot go any further.

And those consortiums?

Morgan, Rockefick, Citigroup. They are now a consortium, and so are their successors from generation to generation.

Don't look at the Boston consortium represented by the Kennedy family, because it was a bit devastated after President Kennedy was assassinated. But they are still a consortium, and they are not comparable to them.

Even if the California consortium is severely suppressed by those powerful consortiums in the east, they will still stand in the position of the consortium and will always be one level higher than other business tycoons.

Therefore, either you can seize this opportunity to advance successfully and expand the ceiling of your descendants, or you can only protect yourself and let your descendants become ordinary rich people and wait to die. Otherwise, if your ambition is too obvious, you will die quickly.
