William's identity is too sensitive, so this time it was Dean, Picken and others who led the team to discuss with Yang Dongxu. After discussing matters related to the Lehman Group with Yang Dongxu.
The ostensible representative of this team also wants to go to Shenzhen to discuss the construction of a chip production plant.
In short, you have to do a good job on the surface. At least if someone makes a fuss about this matter, there will be a justifiable reason.
The rest doesn't matter, after all, Yang Dongxu is no longer as invisible as before. Morgan and other large financial groups have already focused their attention on him, and the other party who needs to know will know. He also knows things that you don't want the other person to know.
So there is no need to do anything special. Just do what you should do as usual. You can't just do nothing just because the other party is likely to send someone to monitor you.
In the conference room of the Peninsula Hotel's presidential suite, Yang Dongxu took a careful look at the information brought by Dean, then pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"So what you are worried about now is that Morgan and other consortiums have currently suspended their plans to interfere with the economies of other countries. They are making full preparations to take down the Lehman consortium.
If the other party's plan is not to seize the opportunity to set off a financial storm after taking over the Lehman Group. Then the benefit from our current arrangement will be very small.
It will even become passive, because when Morgan and other consortiums use all their strength to deal with the Lehman consortium, they will not leave us a chance to make a move. In other words, all the things that have been done around this matter will be in vain? "
The subprime mortgage crisis then evolved into a global financial crisis. It does not mean that the Lehman Group exploded and the world immediately entered a financial crisis. It took time to grow before it could become a subprime mortgage crisis that affected the whole world like the previous one.
This is like a typhoon on the sea. First of all, it is just a low-pressure cyclone. If the Lehman Group collapses, it will become such a low-pressure cyclone.
If this cyclone wants to turn into a financial turmoil affecting the whole world, it must first draw the first wave of energy from the businesses involved in the Lehman Group and the countries where the businesses are located, and make the first strengthening.
To put it bluntly, the Lehman Group collapsed. First of all, the businesses it had previously been involved in and the market turmoil in the countries where these businesses were located were all sources of power that amplified the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis.
The previous approach of Morgan and others was to crush the Lehman Group and let the low-pressure cyclone at the core of the financial crisis of the subprime mortgage crisis form.
At the same time, it uses the influence of its own consortium around the world to cause various troubles in the financial market. In this way, the low-pressure cyclone of the subprime mortgage crisis can continuously gain strength until it forms a financial storm sweeping the world, and these consortiums will follow the storm to reap wantonly.
But now Morgan and other consortiums have stopped causing trouble in financial markets around the world. It looked like they were satisfied with swallowing up the Lehman Group and were not prepared to cause trouble again.
This made William and others have to be careful, because whether they were interfering with the Lehman consortium before, or they were preparing to compete with Morgan and other consortia in the future.
All plans were based on the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis. First, the Lehman Group was used to support the Morgan Group. Then the opponent wants to harvest the world's leeks, and there is no way to concentrate on dealing with them. They follow the lion like hyenas to eat some meat.
Suddenly the subprime mortgage crisis is gone, and everything seems to be in vain. Not to mention, after the lion kills the prey in the Lehman Group, it is very likely that it will turn around and bite the hyena to death.
"From the current point of view, the Morgan consortium seems to have made a very careful choice about us. They seem to want to ensure that they will take down the Lehman consortium first, and then do other things.
This is not good news for us, because judging from the information currently available, even if we intervene, Lehman Group will escape the fate of being hunted.
And once the Morgan consortium and others are not prepared to cause a world financial crisis, they will have the energy to target us when dealing with the Lehman consortium. And after swallowing up the Lehman Group, we will definitely be the next hunting target. Piken said with a solemn expression.
The situation in front of them can be said to be extremely unfavorable to them. They originally thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to breathe. Due to the adjustment of the opponent's strategy, oneself instantly became precarious.
"This is indeed a trouble." Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and then said, "Let's test it out and ask the Bank of England to contact the top executives of the Lehman Group and ask them if they want to mortgage their core assets in exchange for a money to relieve stress.”
"Will such a provocation cause the Morgan consortium to take action against us in advance?" Dean frowned.
"Now they are ready to confront us. If they are not ready to trigger a global subprime mortgage crisis, there is no doubt that their target after swallowing the Lehman Group will be us.
Do you think they have given up on using this opportunity to start a subprime financial crisis to harvest leeks, and will let us go easily after they free up their hands? Yang Dongxu asked rhetorically.
Dean and Picken both frowned and said nothing. Because the answer is obvious. They gave up harvesting such a big crop of global financial leeks just to deal with them. How could they let them go so easily.
"So." Yang Dongxu shrugged, "No matter what we do here, the hostile relationship will not change, nor will the other party's determination to attack us.
In this case, instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. What's more, there are so many benefits to be gained if we take the initiative. The core assets of Lehman Group are still very popular. "
The core assets of the Lehman Group that Yang Dongxu mentioned were those assets that the hunting members headed by the Morgan Group couldn't wait to divide up after the Lehman Group announced its bankruptcy.
The Lehman Group did not panic when it first encountered the crisis because they knew that the bad debts of the subprime mortgage crisis would indeed hurt their vitality.
But with these high-quality core assets, even if the vitality is damaged, the mortgage of these properties will be enough to exchange for a considerable amount of funds to tide over this crisis.
But what they didn't expect was that the consortium headed by Morgan first cut off the government's life-saving rope to rescue the Lehman consortium.
Then, either with promises or with threats, banks that were willing to provide Lehman Group with high-quality asset mortgage loans were not allowed to do this business and were not allowed to allow Lehman Group to mortgage these fat assets that they were interested in.
So the Lehman Group had a lot of gold and silver in their hands, but no one could convert it into a flow of funds to save the company. In the end, these gold and silver mountains were divided up by the consortium that hunted them at the price of cabbage.
At this time, Yang Dongxu arranged for the Bank of England to provide mortgage loans to the Lehman Group, which was equivalent to cutting off the money. We took the high-quality assets of Lehman Group into our hands in a reasonable and legal manner.
Although the price to negotiate now is certainly not small, after all, the Raimon Consortium is still struggling, and before it reaches a desperate moment, the asking price for such a good asset must not be low, but it doesn't matter.
Because as long as the current management of Lehman Group is not crazy, they will not ask for an outrageous price if they want to save themselves. As long as the price is not outrageous, the business will be profitable. It’s just a matter of making more or less.
So it doesn't matter to Yang Dongxu if he makes less money. The main purpose of doing this is not to make money, but to create trouble for Morgan and other consortiums.
Once these assets are in the hands of the Bank of England in the form of mortgages, Morgan and other consortiums will be in trouble.
If they continue to crush the Lehman Group, all the valuables will be taken away by the Bank of England, leaving them with nothing but shit.
If we don’t crush the Lehman Group, what will we do with all the early investment?
What's more important is that he didn't knock the Lehman Group to death with one blow and allowed the other party to breathe a sigh of relief. After waiting for this period of time, the Lehman Group will clean up the internal garbage and stabilize the company's situation. It will definitely take counterattacks against them like a mad dog.
And it is definitely the kind of counterattack strategy that seems to be very stupid, killing eight hundred enemies and damaging one thousand. Because the Lehman Group must let other people who are ready to take action know that it is not someone to be trifled with.
At the same time, this kind of counterattack that hurts others is not only detrimental to oneself, but also hurts oneself, which seems to be stupid. But Morgan and other consortiums have no way to hide. Because this is a close-to-hand fight with fists and fists, you must either fight back or watch the opponent bite you madly.
So if the Bank of England were to lend money to the Lehman Group at this time and take away all the high-quality assets of the Lehman Group, Morgan and other financial groups would definitely jump in and scold them. This is no longer a provocation, it is simply a declaration of war.
Judging from the expressions of Dean and others, they are still hesitant. After all, using this move, they are really standing on the opposite side of Morgan and other world's largest conglomerates to start a war.
Yang Dongxu said: "Let William coordinate with the Bank of England to try it first. If the other party reacts violently, we will take a look at the situation first.
If the other party's attitude is still as it is now, they will stop harvesting the whole world and use the safest method to capture the Lehman Group, and then deal with us.
Let the Bank of England negotiate a loan business with the Lehman Group first. In short, it is testing, constant testing. Until the other party gives up treating us as their first target after Lehman Group.
At the same time, in addition to this, we also need to prepare a second hand. Didn’t we plan to follow them and eat meat after the subprime mortgage crisis and invest a lot of money? "
"What do you mean?" Dean's eyes flashed.
"It's what you think." Yang Dongxu's mouth turned up with a cold arc, "When things have reached this point, it doesn't mean they can adjust their strategy if they want.
As long as they don't give up hunting down the Lehman Group, if they don't start the financial crisis that affects the world after the Lehman Group breaks out, we will start it for them.
When they don’t follow, we will happily use the foundation they laid to cut leeks. If they follow us, they won't be able to concentrate their efforts on us within a year or two. In short, we all make money in this step whether they want to follow or not. "
"When you were warned by the Morgan consortium before, didn't you say that you should keep a low profile when asking for a door, so as not to cause too much hostility from the other party?" Picken asked.
"One moment and another." Yang Dongxu shook his finger, "At that time, the confrontation with them was too fierce, and they had no choice but to put away their hands against the Lehman Group and strangle us first.
It's different now. He has squeezed the Lehman Group to the point of exploding. Moreover, the senior leaders of the Lehman Group have themselves been tricked.
At this time, there is no way for them to throw away a thunder that is about to explode and then use all their strength to deal with us. Therefore, their current priority is to deal with the Lehman Group first, and only then can it be our turn to deal with the Lehman Group.
There is no way to put Lehman aside first, kill us first, and then go back and deal with Lehman as we did last year. "
