Demian obviously didn¡¯t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and Stephen didn¡¯t explain it either.
He continued to Demian and got down to business.
"Mike has asked the Morgan family to come forward. Some financial investment policies may be released soon. It is probably just a small matter. The main purpose is to put pressure on others, but Morgan is also coming forward to meet with some people. Xiang must want to interfere in this matter."
"Haha, they can't sit still anymore!"
"It must be!"
Stephen shuddered when he thought of what Yi Xiaohai said to him.
Pucher and Mike cooperated not because they settled their differences, nor because of their own interests.
It¡¯s because the boss behind the two of them has become the same person.
Morgan Stanley was originally the investment arm of JP Morgan. During the Great Depression in the United States, the Gus Act prohibited companies from providing commercial banking and investment banking services at the same time.
Morgan Stanley was established as an investment bank, while JP was converted into a purely commercial bank.
Because Morgan Stanley is engaged in securities, asset management, corporate mergers and reorganizations, etc., it needs to establish good relationships with many local forces, and its shares are slowly dispersed.
In 1997, due to certain interests, two companies with completely different styles merged, which directly caused constant internal strife in Morgan Stanley.
Pucher is very capable. He placed many people from Dean Witter on the board of directors and senior management of the merged company and took the initiative.
The Morgan family will certainly not tolerate having their own business decided by Pucher.
They have done a lot of work behind the scenes.
Pucher¡¯s Morgan Stanley shares are placed under the ownership of a certain company, and this company is controlled by the forces behind him.
Morgan Stanley negotiated terms with the forces behind Pucher and acquired the company. In this way, Pucher became a member of the Morgan family.
He and Mike now have the same boss!
The Morgan family has taken care of Pucher, and the next step is to get Yi Xiaohai, otherwise Morgan will still be out of their control.
"I really didn't expect that Yi would have such great power in the United States and be able to investigate this matter. I have known Pucher for so long, and I don't even know who is behind him"
Stephen knew that Demian was inquiring about Yi Xiaohai, but he said nothing:
"The more powerful Yi is, the better it is for us. As long as it is good for us, how he does it shouldn't be very important to us."
"Haha, that's right."
Demian smiled nonchalantly.
He really wanted to know how Yi Xiaohai did it. If Stephen didn't tell him, there was nothing he could do.
"The Morgan family has some friendships and connections with many shareholders. They are not shy about contacting those people. They must have made an offer that those people can't refuse. It's better to be careful."
"What we can do is to strive for more benefits for everyone, as well as the benefits of Yi Ge. The Morgan family can do more, and it depends on whether he gives it to us. If he gives it to us, there is nothing we can do about it." .¡±
Demian is very open-minded.
For now, they have done everything they can, it just depends on the determination of the Morgan family.
If they want to check and balance Yi Xiaohai at all costs, then there is nothing anyone can do.
So, we can only wait and see what happens.
¡¡
Yanjing International Airport,
Yi Xiaohai had just gotten off the plane. His brother-in-law, uncle, and Li Shi'an were all anxious to go back. Yi Xiaohai arranged for them to fly directly to Jinling and Suzhou.
Li Xuanyu hadn¡¯t been home for a long time and wanted to go back to spend a few days with his parents, so Yi Xiaohai stayed alone.
The hotel industry association¡¯s plan to rewrite industry norms and guidelines will officially begin in two days.
He needs help.
Back to the hotel, I took a shower and went to bed. I watched TV for a while and then fell asleep. It was already the next morning when I woke up.
There are two missed calls on the phone, one of which is from Li Xuanyu.
He didn¡¯t answer, so he sent a text message: Arrive home safely.
??Looking at the time, it was 6 o'clock in the morning. I didn't call Li Xuanyu so as not to disturb her from rest.
He called Fei Xiaosong back,
As soon as I arrived in the country, he called me. He probably had something important to do.
Indeed, there is something going on over there in the United States, but it¡¯s not a big deal.
Mike and Pucher are preparing to hold a shareholder meeting at the end of February to re-elect the board of directors.
The goal is very clear?
Yi Xiaohai hung up the phone and planned to go for a run, but did not go.
The battle between him and the Morgan family is inevitable.
By the end of February, no matter who wins, the impact on Yi Xiaohai will be relatively small.
Because he has made a big move and is just waiting for the day when the Internet bubble bursts.
There shouldn¡¯t be any big problem in taking down Dalmore by then.
But the trouble now is that he must prevent the Morgan family from restricting his actions.
Most of Yi Xiaohai¡¯s funds are placed in JP, which is also backed by the Morgan family.
¡° If by then they get jealous and play dirty tricks, then Yi Xiaohai will burst into tears.
The amount of funds he has is too large to be placed in any company alone.
And since he is not afraid of offending the Morgan family, he does not seem to have too many choices.
Those family consortiums in the United States were originally developed according to economic sectors and have professional characteristics.
The Locke Consortium started with oil, Morgan relied on steel to develop, and the DuPont Consortium relied on chemistry to make its fortune.
But after the 1970s, major consortiums turned to diversified operations and became comprehensive consortiums.
The diversification of operations directly leads to the diversification and even conflict between the enterprises under its subsidiaries, making it impossible for the consortium to adjust, and in the end it can only be freed.
The consortia began to infiltrate each other, the relationships were complicated, and the boundaries were not easy to draw.
In the past, large companies and enterprises were generally controlled by only one consortium. After the penetration of various consortiums, a company often became a company jointly controlled by several consortiums.
So, the relationship between these family conglomerates today is complicated.
They are all mutual interests,
As a long-established family in the United States, Morgan¡¯s relationship with them must be very involved, and it seems impossible to completely avoid it.
The only way is to spread out,
In addition, he thought of Hongsheng.
Hongsheng and Morgan Stanley are absolutely opposed to each other, and Hongsheng has no connection with the Morgan family behind the scenes.
Chairman Lewis has already extended an olive branch to him, and he and Hongsheng have entered a honeymoon period.
At this time, cooperation with Hongsheng is a good choice.
Hongsheng needs Yi Xiaohai¡¯s background in China to check and balance Morgan Stanley in the Asia-Pacific region. They have always been rivals.
Yi Xiaohai cooperates with Hongsheng, so he doesn¡¯t have to worry about being tricked by the Morgan family.
The only thing he is worried about is whether those guys in Hongsheng will hold a grudge against what happened last time and make small moves in private.
This possibility seems unlikely, but it is not small either.
As far as Yi Xiaohai knew, there were many things Hongsheng had done that violated professional ethics.
??Especially when it comes to Chinese companies, they are very cunning.
