After dinner, Yang Dongxu got up and left. Little Jack, who was supposed to leave with him, returned to William's residence after the motorcade wandered around outside.
William stood at the door to greet him as if he knew that the other party would come back, and the two of them returned to the place where the three people had met before.
"He is much more cautious than expected." Little Jack sighed and pinched his tired eyebrows with his right hand. The meeting just now seemed calm. The three people did not have much dispute at all, and they reached consensus on many things.
But during the meeting, your brain is burned every moment, which kills more brain cells than a real business meeting. Because the three people talked about a lot of things that went beyond money, and a slight mistake would not be as simple as just making less money.
"He's always been like this, hasn't he?" William's face also showed a tired look that had not been shown just now. He stood up and poured a glass of whiskey to signal to little Jack. Little Jack shook his head to indicate that he would not drink, but lit one on his own. cigar.
Letting Yang Dongxu participate in the Libyan dispute was a consensus reached by their small team except Yang Dongxu. They even decided to bring Yang Dongxu in even if they suffered a little loss.
Of course, they were not brought in to trick Yang Dongxu. After all, it would not do them any good to trick Yang Dongxu through mutual cooperation.
The reason why Yang Dongxu came in was because they wanted to have a deeper tie, or to tie them up so that they could take a certain initiative.
Although the current cooperation with each other is close, it is basically dominated by Yang Dongxu, and their main targets are the U.S. Congress and pressure from the U.S. chaebol.
As for the specific business, various technology patents, and even the photolithography machine technology they are involved in, the initiative is firmly in the hands of Yang Dongxu.
Because even the photolithography machine technology is of little use to them. First, if they want lithography machine technology, they can directly purchase the lithography machine.
So it really doesn’t matter to them whether they have lithography machine technology or not. As for the money earned from lithography machine technology patents, they can actually make up for it in other ways.
In addition to lithography machines, most of the cooperation in other areas is like this. Yang Dongxu, whose main market is in mainland China, must account for the majority, because he produces the things and the market is on his base, so it is understandable that he accounts for the majority.
Only William and others who export to foreign countries can share more profits, and with the current US targeting of Chinese goods, technology, etc., if they want to make more, they must contribute, which makes them seem to be working hard to make more money. , in fact, it is passive acceptance.
Therefore, William and others want to change this status quo and want to start a project where they take the initiative and Yang Dongxu is passive. In this way, Libya is a good place. In this kind of war between countries, they are undoubtedly the party that can take the initiative.
But it's a pity that they couldn't take the initiative and Yang Dongxu didn't participate at all, which made their plan fail.
"What about placing the layout in South Africa?" Little Jack took a puff of his cigar and asked.
"It's meaningless." William shook his head, "Tie him to Libya and use minerals and oil to control him. After all, these are real interests. As long as he is involved, it is impossible to let him go.
In South Africa, he did not want to go into mining, nor did he want to contract land to engage in agriculture. The only reason why I went to South Africa was because of the unexpected attack before.
The most fundamental reason seems to be that some of the mercenaries under his command are very militant and do not want to be bodyguards to protect people. So Yang Dongxu found a place for them to vent and practice their troops.
Therefore, unless he invests a lot of infrastructure and real industries in South Africa, once he feels uncomfortable, he can withdraw at any time and cannot be completely bound. "
"That can only be Google!" Little Jack narrowed his eyes.
Congress is preparing to investigate Google on the grounds of national security. Although Locke is using the influence of the Morgan consortium to advance this, secretly Jack and others are also acquiescing in order to put pressure on Yang Dongxu.
Because just a few shares and a seat on the board of directors can no longer satisfy the appetite of Little Jack and others. In particular, Google is developing at a rapid pace. If we don’t take the opportunity to take more initiative at this time, we will have no chance at all in the future.
After all, when Google reaches a higher level, the price paid by Little Jack and others to resist the pressure from the outside world will be too high. And according to their cooperation model with Yang Dongxu, if they want to eat more, they have to put in more effort.
In this way, the better Google develops, the more money they may get, but the cost-effectiveness of getting more money is declining. Unless the California consortium completely recovers and returns to its original throne, the cost will not be reduced at all.
So what can be expected is that when Google's development reaches a new level, in order to ensure that Google continues to develop rapidly, Yang Dongxu must introduce other shareholders to protect Google. Therefore, if he does not start now, it will be difficult to do so in the future.
"Find time to call them for a meeting. This matter must be carefully considered and proportioned, otherwise once the situation gets out of control, there is a high chance that the Morgan consortium will take advantage of it.
Even if the Morgan consortium has no chance, once Yang Dongxu loses hope of winning, he will definitely introduce other forces to Google in advance to break the deadlock. "William said.
"We need to negotiate carefully." Little Jack nodded.
He wouldn't want to take this move if it wasn't necessary, just like Yang Dongxu wouldn't introduce new shareholders to Google if it wasn't necessary.
This is a risky move, and it is very likely that the snipe and the clam will compete with each other and the fisherman will benefit. Similarly, Yang Dongxu will not easily introduce shareholders because he is afraid that if his shares are diluted, other shareholders will form a group and threaten his position.
After all, Google is headquartered in the United States, and it mainly develops business in other countries in the world besides China. To introduce shareholders to protect Google in this way, the first consideration must be that the United States has the ability and resources to cooperate with others, which makes it easy for these people to form a group. Just like how many times now, Little Jack and others will meet in private to discuss things.
Little Jack and others do not want Yang Dongxu to introduce new shareholders, although they can unite with those shareholders to deal with Yang Dongxu. Whether the new shareholders that can be introduced are equally matched or more powerful than them, they will definitely squeeze their interests.
They prefer to eat Google alone rather than share the cake with others. So both sides are actually testing each other's bottom line.
This kind of temptation has been continuous since the beginning of the cooperation and will not stop in the future.
