Chapter 1665: Change Your Position
"If they don't listen to the warning and take the part of the prey we planned to take, what kind of revenge will they take?" Yang Dongxu said after a long pause.
"They will definitely go crazy. After all, this group of greedy guys probably don't have enough for themselves to share the Lehman Brothers consortium.
How could they watch the fattest part being bitten by us, and this bite is quite a lot.
So it is certain that continuing to implement the plan will yield a lot, but whether the harvest is worthwhile compared to the crazy revenge of the other party later, this cannot be calculated at present.
But what is certain is that the price paid at that time will definitely not be small, these people are ruthless."
Abel said with a cold look on his face.
When President Kennedy was assassinated, these consortiums pounced on the Boston consortium like hungry wolves, and even though Abel was not very big at that time, he still clearly remembered the ferocious faces of those people.
"Can this be used as a condition to exchange for other resources? We can not touch the Lehman consortium, but we must get back the capital invested in the early stage." Picken said.
"Do you think that even if we take a step back this time, they will let go of our growing new group after discovering our existence?
You know, our combined resources and wealth now seem to be no less than Lehman Brothers. But our influence and strength seem to be a little weaker than Lehman Brothers." Little Jack knocked on the current table.
Everyone's face couldn't help but become solemn.
Because if these consortiums really want to swallow them up, they really can't stop them.
After all, the two most capable people in this group are Yang Dongxu and William.
But Yang Dongxu's influence and resources are mainly concentrated in Asia, or in China, and his influence on the European and American markets is limited.
As for William, the royal family will definitely not completely fall out with the United States. Just like the United Kingdom will stand on the united front with the United States no matter how much trouble it has made in recent years.
The second-tier members are Little Jack and Abel, the two weak American consortiums. They used to be glorious, but now they are weak and squeezed by those big American consortiums to almost go bankrupt.
The third tier is naturally Picken and Charles and others.
They can only be regarded as successful entrepreneurs, with certain influence in society, as well as resources and connections. They are the framework of the bottom layer of this group.
In terms of real strength and influence, this half-wasted consortium is at least two levels lower than Little Jack and Abel. Not to mention the direct conflict with those big consortiums in the United States.
So if Yang Dongxu and William are completely desperate, this group looks very strong, one is backed by a rising power in the East, and the other is backed by the once glorious British Empire.
But if the two people are unable to fully exert their strength, it seems that it is easier for those big consortiums in the United States to swallow up their group than to swallow up Lehman Brothers.
After all, even if Lehman Brothers' foundation is compared with other American consortiums, it is just a new type of consortium. It ranks at the bottom of the ranking in the field of American consortiums.
But that is a real consortium, with huge wealth and various connections, congressmen in the government, and even a consortium that can influence the military.
At present, their group is not even a real consortium, and the gap can be said to be clear at a glance.
"It's definitely not okay to give in blindly." Yang Dongxu said.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Although he said this, he thought that if he gave in this time, the US financial groups would settle accounts with him later, and the power he had gathered before would be impacted to pieces, and the previous investment would be completely wasted.
But this is only one of the reasons.
"Given the greed of those financial groups, even if we give in this time, they will definitely not let us go easily.
At the same time, don't forget that this subprime mortgage crisis, in addition to making a fortune from Lehman Brothers, which is tempting enough.
Later, the United States took advantage of the global financial world market turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis. Then the Federal Reserve began to cut interest rates, and then took advantage of the home advantage of the US dollar as an international currency to harvest developing countries. It was also a feast.
If we directly withdraw from the ranks of the Lehman Brothers financial group, then do you think they will let us sit at the table for the feast of harvesting developing countries later?"
Everyone in the reception room frowned.
Obviously, if we take a step back, they will have nothing to do with the subsequent feasts. They have been kicked out of the carve-up, so how can they be allowed to sit at the table for the subsequent feast?
So if they withdraw at this time, they will not only lose the chance to carve up Lehman Brothers, but also lose the chance to eat the feast later.
The living room fell into silence again, and everyone frowned and thought.
After a while, Yang Dongxu tapped his fingers on the table twice to attract everyone's attention and spoke again.
"Since they will not let us go later, whether we sit at the table to eat meat or leave the table, let's change our thinking. What if we stand behind Lehman Brothers now?"
"This."
Some people's eyes suddenly lit up, while others still looked solemn.
After all, with these American financial groups making trouble behind them, it is almost impossible to help Lehman Brothers stop this avalanche.
If you stand behind Lehman Brothers, you may not have to wait until later. Those consortiums can take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of them now.
"Instead of completely preventing the loan crisis, the avalanche has already begun, even if we stand behind Lehman Brothers. At most, we can only delay the arrival of the big avalanche, but there is no way to stop this avalanche.
I mean, we're on Lehman's side. Helped Lehman Brothers preserve the core wealth and resources of the consortium during the avalanche.
Let Lehman Brothers not be completely carved up by these consortiums at once. Then we will join forces with the Lehman Brothers consortium to fight against them.
Lehman Brothers is a real consortium. Even if the inevitable avalanche severely damages their vitality, the consortium is still a consortium after all, and it is still a consortium whose main strength is retained by us.
With the joining of this consortium, it will not be so easy for those consortiums who want to deal with Lehman Brothers and then turn around to deal with us, because their first target must be the Lehman consortium.
As for how long the severely damaged Lehman Group can last, and whether we should concentrate resources on giving it blood transfusions in the future. Will study this later.
But it is foreseeable that the main force that retains the Lehman consortium can help us prevent the annexation of those consortiums. And even if Lehman Group fails to hold on and collapses in the end, with his buffer during this period, it will give us more time to grow. "
"That's a very good idea."
"It would be best to have in-depth contact with Lehman Brothers and carefully discuss the feasibility of this transformation plan."
"Before contacting Lehman Brothers, we need to discuss it ourselves. We need to preserve the resources of Lehman Brothers and abandon those resources.
After all, it is impossible to prevent those consortiums that have been laying out like hungry wolves for so long from eating meat. Therefore, there is no need to make efforts to guard some things from the beginning to avoid wasting resources and financial resources.
At the same time, the Lehman consortium cannot be too strong. If it's too strong, it will definitely lose its tail. In the end, he lay on top of us sucking blood. When the time comes, it is not swallowed up by those hostile consortiums, but is sucked dry by the Lehman consortium, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Lehman.
Therefore, when executing this plan, it is best to control the Lehman Consortium after the heavy damage to an extent that can help us block the subsequent attacks of the hostile consortium without being able to engulf us in turn. "
After changing your thinking and feeling that this idea is feasible.
Everyone's speeches became more positive, and various possibilities and methods began to emerge.
“Discuss a plan as soon as possible. We need to keep the core of Lehman Brothers, what price we have to pay, and how much funds we need to mobilize to implement this plan.
Calculate these as soon as possible, come up with a rough plan, and then contact Lehman Brothers. You have to be quick, because it probably won't take long to get there. "
William and Yang Dongxu looked at each other and finally spoke.
The people in the living room looked at each other and everyone nodded.
Little Jack spoke first, "Abel and I have also calculated the core of Lehman Brothers, and then we will discuss how to choose. But before discussing, let me remind you.
It would be best if Lehman Brothers' influence in the military could be fully preserved. After all, this is where we lack the most strength. "
The conference room fell silent again.
Whether military power is important or not, it is definitely important. The truth is only within the range of the cannon, which is a truth that applies everywhere.
And if these groups gain influence in the US military, the level of security will skyrocket.
However, if Lehman Brothers' influence in the military is maintained, and this influence is controlled by the two consortiums, Jack Jr. and Abel, whether these two will continue to be honest is a question that has to be considered.
After all, William has the British military behind him, and Yang Dongxu has the motherland behind him. The two of them covet the power of the American military, but they don't have to get it.
Coupled with their identities, it is impossible to master this power. Therefore, it is only natural that these powers are controlled by little Jack and Abel.
We can't let such a decisive power remain in the hands of Lehman Brothers, right?
"This can be within the power retained by the Lehman Brothers consortium. After formulating the plan, we can make investment calculations around this part that must be guaranteed. Is there anything else you want to add?"
After pondering for a moment, Yang Dongxu and William looked at each other again, and finally Yang Dongxu spoke.
Lehman Brothers’ influence on the military must be preserved, because this is one of the main forces that will determine whether Lehman Brothers can help them block the military achievements of other consortiums in the future and must not be given up.
As for who will take control after it is secured, that will be discussed later. The current premise is that we must secure it first.
“Piken, I, and Charlie worked together to try to figure out clearly the turmoil in the U.S. financial market and the world financial market caused by the subprime mortgage crisis.
Let’s see how to retain Lehman Brothers’ business resources and influence in the most economical way, and then participate in the plan to harvest developing countries after the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. Sandway said.
"I will use the influence of the royal family to try to block the pressure from those consortiums in the early stage." William will undertake what he can do.
"I came to contact major celebrities and congressmen in Europe and the United States to build momentum for Lehman Brothers. During this period, the senior management of this consortium frequently attended high-profile gatherings to seek support, but no one paid attention to him. I came to help him support the situation," Dean said.
"Give me an approximate amount of funds that need to be invested after calculation, and I will raise and borrow funds." Yang Dongxu also asked what he could do.
So the whole transformation plan has been done, and we just need to wait for everything to be calculated and see whether Lehman Brothers wants this life-saving straw.
But it shouldn't be a big problem.
To survive or to be completely divided, Lehman Brothers consortium must be able to make a decision easily.
If they don't cooperate with Yang Dongxu now, they will die. If they cooperate with Yang Dongxu and fail in the end, they will also die.
Anyway, the worst outcome is death, so why not give it a try? For those consortiums that want to divide them, Lehman Brothers must be full of resentment and hatred at this moment.
If they can bite back, Lehman Brothers will probably do it at all costs.
What's more, there is still hope of turning defeat into victory after cooperation, right?
