As the bosses, their sources of information are very rich and accurate, so it is easy to see the essence through the phenomena.
Therefore, everyone in the reception room knows that the two founders of Google, which have been praised by major newspapers and stockbrokers, have played an important role in Google's current achievements.
But the fact that Google has reached this point and even has the potential to become a giant is inseparable from the fact that the Kennedy family and Little Jack stand behind it.
Without these two big guys standing behind, Google would have been swallowed up by other consortiums in the United States.
Of course, the Kennedy family and little Jack's efforts are also extremely rewarding.
Needless to say, the Kennedy family, with their strong political power, finally began to slowly make up for their economic shortcomings.
And after having money in hand, winning more parliamentary seats does not mean that there is no hope of regaining military power.
Little Jack, not to mention what kind of situation the California consortium was forced into by those big consortiums in the east?
Although the entire consortium is in a very sluggish situation now, they have seen hope of a reversal as they hold shares in Google.
In particular, traditional media basically side with the old consortium. If you want to build momentum for something, you have to look at other people's faces. Now that we have Google in our hands, it seems that we are going to launch some flagship product.
If you clamor in traditional media, I can fight back in online media. With channels through which you can express your voice, many things will be much easier to handle. For example, you can have an advantage when promoting your election as a member of parliament.
With these two successful cases in mind, Yang Dongxu's proposal is undoubtedly tempting to everyone present. This is not indeed a big pie. If they operate it well, they really have hope of serving it.
"I need to think about it," Charles said.
"Me too." Piken nodded.
Sandway stood up, and Dean and Jeld looked at each other and stood up.
They are all big guys, and they are all big guys who have fought hard through strong winds and waves.
But at this moment, they were all moved by Yang Dongxu's suggestion. After all, who would want to be the second child if there was a chance to be the boss? What's more, now they are not even the second child, but the third child, or even the sixth child.
"I will only wait for you for three days. If you have not recovered after three days, I will find someone else to try." Yang Dongxu stood up to see off the guests.
Everyone frowned and left with solemn expressions.
Big opportunities come with big risks. The benefits of smartphones and Internet products as Yang Dongxu said are huge enough to give them a push and let them squeeze into the poker table and sit down.
But the risks faced are also huge. After all, none of the established financial groups are easy to mess with. Even if you don't push them off the table, you squeeze the space and make them feel depressed. So before you get to the table, they will definitely try their best to kick you back.
But if they choose not to cooperate, they will most likely lose their only chance to be on the table.
In particular, this opportunity is through smartphones and the Internet, which the consortium currently has no control over. This is simply a good opportunity given by God.
Because in traditional industries, they don’t even dare to have such thoughts, let alone squeeze into the table. The reason why the consortium is called a consortium is because in the industry they control, no one dares to provoke at all, and they also Never allow the power to challenge them to grow.
These new forces that have the opportunity to challenge them in traditional industries will either become more powerful nutrients for the consortium, or they will disappear completely. There is no third way to go.
"Will they compromise?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask after sending everyone away and turning back.
To be honest, when the Honor mobile phone came out, he was shocked and understood that it was an epoch-making product. But he never thought that his big boss would use such an epoch-making product to carry out such a big operation.
Once this cooperation is successful, while the assets of the big boss will expand rapidly, the social influence will not be the same.
"As long as they want to go further, this is their only chance. We have choices, but 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 a smartphone.
There are not many opportunities on the Internet, because the Internet in the United States has been developing for a long time, and it is not just emerging in China.
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 some potential for growth have basically been divided up by chaebols.
Therefore, smartphones have become the only opportunity for these big guys who want to get on the table. Otherwise, they will have to wait and see if they can survive until Musk's research spacecraft goes to Mars. Maybe they can still seize the opportunity to get on the table at that time.
Otherwise, before that, in traditional industries, they would not be able to invest in places like China and Russia that are not affected by the United States. Even if they went to these two places, it would not be possible for new plutocratic forces to emerge. So if they miss this opportunity, they will never get another chance in their lifetime.
And in this matter, Yang Dongxu seems to be in a hurry to find a collaborator, because Apple is chasing him. But he is definitely not the one who is most anxious.
If that didn't work, he would just use most of the profits to cooperate with the American consortium, even though he was seeking skin from a tiger. But as long as he takes advantage of the pitfall of the world's No. 1 smartphone, he can still perform a series of operations in the future.
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. On the Internet side, they do not have deep connections, 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 reminder, 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 of becoming 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 hit the ceiling set by the consortium will either encounter the opportunity of great social change 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.
