Although he clearly refused, Locke was obviously not someone who gave up easily. Therefore, the California consortium will definitely face a series of troubles in the future, and even the position of Little Jack at the helm may be turbulent.
However, compared with these dangers and the benefits of sitting on Yang Dongxu's ship, little Jack felt that the benefits he gained were far greater than the rewards.
"You should be careful about those old guys in the group." Casto reminded.
Obviously he also knows something about who Locke is. After all, they are all in the same circle, although the other party looks down on him as the heir to the sunset California consortium.
But the heirs of these large conglomerates must have a serious and clear understanding of people like Locke, which is a required course for the heirs of declining conglomerates like Casto.
Because before Yang Dongxu appeared, all the declining consortiums were lingering on, like poor stray dogs, hoping that the heirs of large consortiums like Yu Locke could give them a way out.
Even the investment goals of many heirs of declining consortia are not to invest in normal business, nor to try their best to bring their own consortium back to life, but to invest in the heirs of large consortiums.
Use the remaining resources of the declining consortium to help the heirs of some large consortiums as much as possible. In this way, when the investment target one day takes the helm of a large consortium, it will be impossible to revive the declining consortium. But as long as the other party leaks a little profit, it will be enough for these declining consortiums to survive.
That's right, Yang Dongxu did not appear, and all the heirs or helmsmen of the declining consortia had various ambitions to rebuild their glory.
But what he does every day is to try to curry favor and flatter him in exchange for a chance for his consortium to survive.
So despite the fact that little Jack acted very strong in front of Yang Dongxu, in fact, he was also stern in his heart, because he knew better than anyone else that if he missed this opportunity, the future would not be bright at all.
And Casto, who has been working for Little Jack, obviously understands this, so his inner attitude towards Little Jack is very complicated.
He hates little Jack, even though little Jack pulled him out of the mud and gave him a decent life now. But once the scapegoats Little Jack asked him to carry were exposed, it wouldn't be enough for him to die ten times.
But while he hated it, he also didn't want anything to happen to little Jack. The only reason why he had such a feeling was that he saw the hope of the consortium's recovery in little Jack.
Another point, although I don't want to admit it in my heart, in fact I have to admit that little Jack is indeed better than me. Although following Little Jack will keep taking the blame, his death will definitely be pitiful in the future.
But it is precisely because of the existence of little Jack that he lives a relatively free life now. Because while letting him take the blame, little Jack also gave him a certain amount of power and freedom.
Now, the only reason why he can still live so well in the consortium as the heir to a failed consortium is because of the support of little Jack.
So facing this outstanding heir of the same consortium, Katos's heart was very complicated.
"A group of old immortals who will only immerse themselves in the glory of the past and linger on." Little Jack cursed directly.
It is undeniable that the old guys in the consortium have made an indelible contribution to the development of the consortium, but at the same time, these old guys also have an unshirkable responsibility for the consortium to reach this point.
Therefore, little Jack, who felt that he was already generous and soft-hearted despite his merits and demerits, thought that he was still supporting these old guys with the money from the consortium.
To allow these old guys to still hold pool parties, use his status as the leader of the consortium to show off their power, and even privately take advantage of them, he has shown his utmost forgiveness and kindness.
But these old guys are never satisfied. Now they are clearly leading the consortium on the right path. Even in the past few years, both the benefits of the consortium and the influence of the consortium have been slowly increasing.
But these folks are causing trouble in all kinds of ways, and they still act like they are the elders and must listen to me. Even if some of the good changes in the consortium are brought about by little Jack, who is now the helmsman of the consortium, they still have their mission Little Jack also listens to them and takes their advice.
For example, if you continue to invest money in a mining company that is suffering from serious losses, the reason is not because the mining company is very important and must be preserved, or because after investing the money, the company can produce very good benefits.
Just because this company is the stock-holding asset of a certain consortium veteran, and similar vampires are everywhere. Sometimes when faced with these shameless people, little Jack wants to kill them all with a submachine gun.
While the two were still chatting, Little Jack's phone rang. He glanced at the caller and answered the call. Then as the voices on the phone continued to come out, his eyes slowly narrowed and emitted a cold light.
A few minutes later, when Jack hung up the phone, Castor asked, "What's wrong?"
"An old man called me and advised me to sell all the shares in the company I was working with Yang Dongxu and invest in Europe." Little Jack said.
Apparently Locke had made a lot of preparations in advance before coming to him. For example, he probably reached some kind of agreement with several old immortals in the California consortium.
Otherwise, these old fools wouldn't have called so quickly. Locke, who was on the front foot, had just hit a snag from him and didn't get what he wanted, so this old fool on the back foot called.
"Europe?" Castor frowned, then thought of something and said with a look of astonishment: "They don't want to buy Greece at the bottom, do they?"
Many people now only know about the subprime crisis that affects the world. In fact, it is not just the subprime crisis. After the subprime crisis broke out, the euro crisis also broke out in Europe. Even Greece, one of the EU countries, announced as early as the end of 2009 that its country would Facing bankruptcy, this news can be said to have shocked the world.
It's just that because it was the subprime mortgage crisis that triggered the tsunami, more people know about the subprime mortgage crisis, while not much news pays attention to the euro crisis.
However, Europe still seems to be beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it is a mess on the inside. Anyone who knows anything knows that. Especially when it comes to aid to Greece, many EU countries have a disregard for it and even want to kick Greece out of the EU membership.
And there is a crisis in the euro. As the United States, which likes to harvest the world, will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, even though the targets of the wealth harvest are its own allies.
But dead Taoist friends are not dead Taoists. As long as they can make money, allies are nothing. In recent years, whether it is harvesting books or harvesting South Korea, the United States has done a lot of tricks to enrich itself, and it can even be said that it is often done.
Therefore, most of the attention of these capitals in the United States is now focused on Europe to see if they can take advantage of the opportunity to rob it. It is precisely because of this that Yang Dongxu can have a stalemate with the Morgan consortium.
Otherwise, the Morgan consortium would focus its main attention on him, and he would really be unstoppable now!
"Someone got the news that China is very optimistic about Greece and is preparing to make large-scale investment in Greece." Little Jack said.
No matter what China's image is in the world, or how many losses it has suffered because of its lagging behind, one thing is undeniable. As long as China strives to do something, basically as long as you don't make any mistakes, there will be a good outcome. His future investment vision is very precise.
However, American capital is eyeing Europe and certainly does not want others to touch this cake. But China is also optimistic about Greece, which undoubtedly proves that even if Greece goes bankrupt, it still has good bargain-hunting value, so many people are a little bit restless now.
