Through the wealth life

Chapter 254 California Consortium
After Li Guangyu came to Seattle, he didn't plan to return to Los Angeles, but Peng Xiaoli called, and the president of Bank of America hoped that Li Guangyu could go to Los Angeles to meet with him.

Even if Li Guangyu planned to fly directly to Tokyo, he could only change his original plan and return to Los Angeles.For the invitation from the California consortium, Li Guangyu had no choice but to give it face.As the core of the California consortium, the helm of the Bank of America is obviously the core figure.Li Guangyu knows that he is being targeted by many consortiums in the United States. As for whether he is being recruited or suppressed, he is still unclear.

Li Guangyu is not very clear about the strength of the California consortium, but it is now ranked third among the top ten consortiums in the United States. Compared with them, Li Guangyu himself is too far away.According to related news, in 1974, the California consortium had $1671 billion in assets. This is certainly not the entirety of the California consortium. No one knows how much wealth is hidden underneath.

Li Guangyu's total assets of all the groups are only more than 100 billion US dollars. Compared with them, it is still a comparison between a child and a mature man. Li Guangyu has no strength to challenge them.

When Li Guangyu returned to California on a chartered plane, some core figures of the California consortium were gathering here on the top floor of the Bank of America building, including the helm of the second largest bank of the consortium, Bank of the West, and the helm of Wells Fargo in the San Francisco area. The helm of Merrill Lynch, its largest investment bank, also came here.

As the founding family of the predecessor of the Bank of America, the current helm Nick Giannini said to these people: "You have also read the information about Mr. Li Guangyu. I think everyone has a lot of understanding about this young man. To actually think of pulling Li Guangyu to their Texas, is to slap us in the face, all of Li Guangyu's American companies are headquartered in our California, so they can naturally become our allies, those Texas cowboys are really whimsical."

As the second largest family in the consortium, Noel Milton, who is currently in charge of the Bank of the West, said: "Nick, don't worry, Li Guangyu is not an idiot. If we don't choose the California consortium, why would we choose that area with no advantages? No. Is there news that Li Guangyu did not agree to the invitation of that old McKisson?”

It was very easy for the California consortium to know something. The general history of Li Guangyu's participation in the party at night was passed on to them the next day.This made the leaders of the California consortium very dissatisfied, and actually poached corners to come to them.

The California consortium is very satisfied with Li Guangyu's investment in the United States. As the Li Guangyu Group continues to grow, they are also paying more and more attention to Li Guangyu's situation.It also naturally classified Li Guangyu into the sphere of influence of its own consortium. It had long been willing to absorb Li Guangyu into the consortium. Li Guangyu has far-reaching influence on Baodao, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.

Merrill Lynch President J. R. John said: "Nick, Li Guangyu is probably not willing to join our consortium. From these materials, we know that he is a person with a strong desire to control. He does not know how to control his own consortium. Let others get involved. Just look at the group shares he holds."

The heads of these families have read some relevant information about Li Guangyu Group in detail, and they never ask about the companies in which they own shares.But if his own company is directly wholly-owned and not listed, even if there are two listed companies that hold absolute equity, no one will be given the opportunity to attack his group.

At the same time, they also found that Li Guangyu was very cautious. His main companies were located in Xiangjiang, and the development of Japan also involved the local Japanese family, and even cooperated with the Sumitomo Foundation, one of the six major consortiums.

In the United States, except for a few teams, they are all selling products, and the company's headquarters are not here. Unless the government is persuaded to deliberately target the Li Group, the major financial groups are really hard to deal with him. His group is not like many If the company goes public like that, no matter how rich the consortium is, it won't be able to sell it.

Rolle Kevin, president of Wells Fargo Bank, said: "Chinese families have such a nature in this regard. They always hope that the industry is under their absolute control before they can feel at ease. Many Chinese families in our San Francisco area are like this. Many of them would rather the company develops. Li Guangyu obviously thinks so too, and he doesn't want outsiders to invest in his company and affect his control over the company."

Nick Giannini said: "Tonight, I will have a personal conversation with Mr. Li Guangyu. We don't expect him to join our consortium this time. We can first form an alliance with him to promote everyone's development. You all see According to the information, under his leadership, the Li Group has grown from assets of less than 2000 million US dollars to today's assets of tens of billions of dollars under his leadership, and his strength and potential are worthy of our wooing."

J. R. John, President of Merrill Lynch, also said: "The most powerful thing about Mr. Li Guangyu is his outstanding vision. Just a few days ago, Apple went public, and this investment brought him hundreds of millions of dollars in income. , Many listed companies don’t have as much profit in a year as he does, and our Merrill Lynch didn’t have as good a vision as he did in this investment, and we didn’t fight for many shares in Apple.”

"At the same time, you can take a look at some of the companies he invested in Xiangjiang. They are all developing rapidly, and the market value of their shares continues to rise. This is the most terrifying thing. He has never missed an investment. The only time he has been head-to-head with the Xiangjiang Jardine Consortium The competition, it is said that the governor of Xiangjiang at that time came forward for it and ended peacefully."

J. R. John was very envious of Li Guangyu's ability. If he had such vision, Merrill Lynch would not be able to fly quickly.

Nick Giannini said: "Today when I was discussing with Li Guangyu, I will promote the cooperation between Merrill Lynch and Tianyu Investment Company. Anyway, Tianyu Investment can't take all the shares of a company. Our cooperation is beneficial to everyone. It's good, with their excellent vision, coupled with our influence, there will be no disadvantages in this regard."

J. R. John said: "Nowadays, many investment banks are staring at the actions of Tianyu Investment, and they all want to follow Tianyu Investment and grab some shares of some companies that Tianyu Investment has invested in. If we and With the cooperation agreement reached by Tianyu Investment, we will be able to take the lead and promote the development of Merrill Lynch."

Rolle Kevin continued: "With the changes in the economy, the development of our side has not been very satisfactory in the past few years. Instead, the Asian region is developing rapidly. Among them, some regions where Li Guangyu has a relatively large influence, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and other places, if our consortium wants to continue to develop rapidly, we need to expand the market in these places, and Li Guangyu is obviously a very good partner."

After Li Guangyu arrived in Los Angeles, he went directly to Peng Xiaoli's office and asked her, "Xiaoli, is there anything going on in Texas?"

Peng Xiaoli said: "Sheng Li, the Texas side is the same as before, and there is no abnormal situation."

Li Guangyu was temporarily relieved after hearing this, but he still told Peng Xiaoli: "It's really impossible for the person in charge to pay attention to the situation there. If necessary, you can withdraw from the DZ market."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will keep an eye on the situation over there." Peng Xiaoli replied.
