Chapter XIII The Struggle of Capital(1/2)
The U.S. economy has gone through three stages in total
These three stages are the pioneering period. In that bloody era, consortiums focusing on mining and energy were awakened;
The second stage is the transformation from a tense domestic atmosphere to arrogant military strength. Coupled with the birth of World War I and World War II, the national power of the entire United States has increased unprecedentedly. Around arms, politics was born.
The consortium began to extend their tentacles;
The third stage was very peaceful, that is, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the manufacturing industry began to be dumped crazily towards foreign countries!
Since the 1970s
There is even a saying among high-level officials in the United States that no matter how the situation in the United States changes in the future, it will not affect the three levels of American plutocrats!
Wall Street is a battlefield born under the planning of multiple consortiums. The existing rules and order need to be followed by every player.
In fact, every time he sat with Old West, Old West would ask him some questions that got straight to his heart.
"What do you think of yourself?"
Although almost half a month has passed since he said this, Tao Xi will still think about this issue seriously when no one is around, if he is a new member of the consortium.
Tao Xi really doesn’t admit it
Although he is involved in energy, arms, mining, retail, and manufacturing, he is not outstanding in any of them. There are many who are better than him.
The only banking industry that can be dealt with, and the only pleasure Tao Xi gets from it is that money is no longer money but a bunch of numbers.
He does not recognize the nicknames given to him by the outside world, such as "Luo Bancheng" and "Tokyo Tao", and he does not think that he is a Wall Street practitioner.
Because no one invites him to the Wall Street Financial Summit every year. Even when little Morgan’s sister went to attend, no one gave him an invitation letter with gold foil.
Tao Xi also didn't know how to express his own understanding.
However, the recent [say hello] financing conference finally had some clues, and the group coming this time is the most hidden communications group in the world!
Communications Group does not refer to a certain group, but an industry interest group, such as the pharmaceutical group that is competing with him.
It is not that their current CEO of the pharmaceutical group is unhappy with Tao Xi. It is very likely that the interests of one or several of their shareholders have been violated by Tao Xi. After all, he is not the whole of the pharmaceutical group in a free ambulance project.
As of now, Tao Xi only has one pharmaceutical factory of his own, and he still relies on these pharmaceutical groups for most of his medicines.
This kind of interest group is so magical. Maybe their CEO or a director of the presidium will take the initiative to send Tao Xi a congratulatory gift when he gets married.
And he would also add to Tao Xi: "Oh, too bad, I have lost his control since my company went public."
This sentence may not be a lie, but the truth.
After the company goes public, who knows what your stockholders are doing. There are only 100,000 ambulances in the United States for a population of hundreds of millions. Isn't this a typical example of having more monks and less meat, and carnivores are despicable?
Just looking at the ambulance supply companies that large medical groups cooperate with, you will know that there must be something fishy in them.
Tao Xi shook his head helplessly and opened the [Investor Invitation List] collected by Emily Dunn. The list of invitations was luxurious.
Not to mention the famous Bell Labs, there are twelve communication equipment manufacturers in this invitation list alone. As for AT&T Group, Telephone Group of Mexico, Telefonica Group and similar companies, there are no less.
At thirty homes!
"It's hard to believe that if your software is actually promoted on Microsoft or a certain platform, the list on this invitation letter will all be your enemies."
Tao Xi approved of Emily's words
One company may not be able to kill him, but if the communications group puts pressure on him, he may die in an ugly way. After all, he is famous for being a "lone eater"!
As of now, none of his multinational groups or independent companies have been listed.
This also caused that since old Xie Yin withdrew from Wells Fargo Bank, he felt a little helpless. He planned to use the "say hello" thing to win over a group of allies for him!
Yes, they are allies.
“I really don’t know if I said at the meeting that I would make all the source code of [say hello] public and help them operate this project, would these damn operators give me what I want!”
"Of course. Even I know the value of this kind of thing. This means that our communication methods are not limited to our mobile phones or landlines, but..."
At first, Emily was still proudly explaining his views to Tao Xi, but midway through the words, she suddenly realized what his boss had just said.
"Boss, you are crazy!"
"Are you saying you don't plan to own this company?"
Tao Xi seemed to be afraid that Emily would not understand what he said, so he repeated it seriously: "That's right!"
Voice communication technology may have been very impressive in the 1990s, but if it hadn't been for the emergence of keywords such as "head-downers" and "smartphones" mentioned on the radio, Tao Xi would not have considered this technology even if he broke his head.
Share it.
After all, this technology will depreciate over time. It is very likely that with the development of broadband in the future, this technology may only bring a small amount of technology patents to the technology owner.
But Tao Xi is not short of money
He needs to change the way Americans view him. He, Tao Xi, is also a person who is willing to contribute. 12345 Technology can change people's survival model in the next twenty years. 12345 Technology may also use the platform he has to increase his voice.
For example, booking a taxi by phone has been changed to booking a taxi via a mobile app. The 30-second rapid response will definitely change the travel patterns of some people at the bottom of society!
But it's too early to say this now. Tao Xi needs time. He needs some interest groups that can provide him with a parasol to block his current light!
When 12345 really grows into a big guy
The rest is garbage, as the saying goes, real rich people will not really stand in front of the stage, and this Asian financial crisis is an opportunity for Tao Xi!
A chance for him to stand behind the scenes.
Emily Dunn looked at her boss with a complex expression and didn't know what to say for a moment. Ever since Tao Xi became a father, she always felt that Tao Xi had a feeling of retreating from the rapids!
And since Tausi rested, except for the capital of the Panama Commercial Department, all other companies have lost support from the parent company.
Self-reliance and self-sufficiency are the main themes of every company's actions, but Emily can't say anything!
"Boss, I'm going to prepare for the banquet first."
Tao Xi looked at Emily Dunn leaving without explaining a word. Different statuses and different perspectives meant that there was really no way around some things.
.....
This investment conference about "say hello" is not very high-profile.
Although the MGM Hotel in downtown San Francisco is temporarily closed today, all staff are still at their posts.
One luxury car after another has been parked on the roadside at the entrance. In order to ensure the privacy of this investment conference, the security guards at the entrance have stationed themselves every 3 meters on the 40-meter-long street in front of the MGM Hotel.
Got a bodyguard.
The paparazzi who had heard the news were stopped 40 meters away. It could be seen from the expressions of the reporters that their purpose had not been achieved.
Tao Xi, who was sitting on a chair in the banquet hall, was already chatting with his first intended investor.
"Tao Xi, as far as I know, the technology you mentioned does not seem to have the conditions for large-scale promotion, and as you know, our Bell Labs has a very good relationship with many operators."
Jesus Yadav told Tausi his views on that technology with a confident look on his face.
Tao Xi shook his head indifferently: "Actually, the fact that you can come to me as the funder behind Bell Labs proves that you are actually a little restless about this technology. I am a very simple person. If you can
Come and tell me the truth, and I can tell you the truth."
Jesus Yadav looked at this young man who became famous at a young age with surprise when he heard Taosi's words.
Not only was he aware of Tao Xi's recent situation, but probably most of the 140 guests present were aware of Tao Xi's current situation.
But he didn't know what price Tao Xi was willing to pay for this matter.
So he planned to continue testing. Just when Jesus Yadav was about to ask a few more questions, Roman Mandler also stood aside on behalf of the American Telegraph Company and said: "I see what you said this time
What’s more, the company’s main body is not this technology, can I know more about it?”
Tao Xi saw that the people at the scene had almost arrived.
He smiled politely to the people around him and walked to the podium.
Tao Xi, who picked up the microphone, said "hello" to the microphone a few times and then started his speech!
"Of course, sir, if you are more interested in [say hello], I can introduce it to anyone who is interested!"
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
"Actually, my plan this time is very simple, that is, I need some friends!"
"As a reward for my friend, it's very direct!"
“I don’t want any shares of [say hello]!”
"As an emerging product in the Internet environment, I believe that no one here knows the Internet better than me. I will operate your things for you, and its ownership is yours. You can take this company away at any time!
"
Tao Xi’s remarks instantly detonated the entire venue.
When Tao Xi saw the reaction of the group of people in the audience, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he allowed the discussion and discussion below to spread. After all, these people were not the ones he had seen before.
These people present all hold certain rights within their country or group. He needs to let them take the initiative to speak. Only in this way can he take the initiative at the venue!
"Where are the shares? Tao Xi, there are more than 60 heads of large communications companies here. Do you want us to be like those idiots sitting in the auction house and play with the tricks of the highest bidder?"
Tao Xi followed the sound of this sentence and looked
The person who is speaking is Carlos Slim Helu, the richest man in Mexico, the Mexican Telephone Company.
