Chapter 1355: Don't touch real estate
Seriously, the previous political groups in the United States were still very well-behaved. After all, killing competitors at every turn is something that gangsters do.
If politics can be played like this, then sooner or later everyone will die. Therefore, not only the United States, but even people who play politics all over the world abide by the unspoken rule that they cannot be assassinated.
Of course, the assassination of the leader of an enemy country, and the assassination of an enemy general during a war, are certainly not covered by this rule. This rule is mainly to let the people who play politics in their family abide by this rule, so as not to kill and kill themselves and finally lose themselves.
But Kennedy was assassinated that year, and I have to say that this off-the-board move played a decisive role while setting off an uproar at that time.
It can be said that a move hit the Kennedy family in seven inches, which not only made the Kennedy family become the first family in the United States, but also interrupted the momentum. The secret wound left on the Kennedy family, a dark wound that has not healed until now.
Because when someone else can do something to the Kennedy family, and the Kennedy family can't find who the opponent is, they will fight back. This wound is always opened from time to time.
So this makes all the big business groups unwilling to give up their military power even if they die since Kennedy was assassinated. In times of peace, it is true that the economy is the active force, but there is no hole card for self-preservation.
It's okay for other people to obey the rules, but if you don't follow the rules, you are meat on the chopping board, and the other party can cut it whenever he wants, and he can give you two knives at any time.
So what the Kennedy family wanted to restore was not just political control and economic power. It is also more desirable to restore control of the army.
Because the military is like a nuclear weapon, you can do without it, but you can't do without. Only by holding the army in your hands can you better protect yourself at the same time. When someone else assassinates you, have the power to take revenge in a frenzy.
Therefore, in recent years, many consortia in the United States have been fighting bloodshed because of some arms orders. There is no longer so harmony between the consortium and the consortium, and although it is generally restrained, when fighting, it is also a white knife in and a red knife out. Didn't you see that Little Jack was forced to cooperate with him?
The matter of the bodyguard Yang Dongxu was handed over to Du Suo to solve, and there were many foreign mercenaries on his side. Although the most are veterans of North Russia, there are also many elite veterans in the United States and Europe.
After so many years of training and teaching, as well as fighting side by side. These people can still be used with confidence, didn't they see that Yang Dongxu came to the country with Zhang Yue and Du Suo by his side, and there were a large group of black and white bodyguards?
"He's really reassuring of you. The corners of Little Jack's mouth were raised, revealing a smile that I didn't know if it was mockery or complicated.
Abel had left Los Angeles, and Jack Jr. came to talk to him about YouTube financing. Because he has invested a lot in this time, especially this investment is almost all his worth.
If he fails, he will completely lose the inheritance of the consortium, and the final result can be imagined. After all, the loser is not protected by the unspoken rule that assassination is not allowed.
And when the time comes, it will not be outsiders who will kill him, and those 'own people' who have the right to inherit will definitely be killed directly in order to prevent him from making a comeback. There must be many outsiders who are used to eating with stools, and their own consortium will turn a blind eye to such things.
The battle for the succession of large families is sometimes so cruel, whether it is in troubled times or peaceful times. The conflict of interests does not mean that there is a plain and peaceful solution, unless you only have you as an heir.
"If it weren't for my help, you wouldn't be as good as them. They at least have some power in their hands, so that those who are hiding in the shadows need to hide their heads and hide their tails and dare not expose them. And you, if it weren't for my appearance, so many arms orders were robbed later. It's not uncommon to be shot at someone while walking down the street, is it?"
Yang Dongxu glanced at Little Jack, he naturally understood what Little Jack meant. Leaving all the security to Yang Dongxu is equivalent to putting his net worth and life in his hands, and if he can choose, no one wants to do this.
The Kennedys obviously don't have a choice right now, although they can pay a lot of money to hire bodyguards from some big security companies. But which of these security companies is not behind the consortium?
It must have been a consortium that dealt with the Kennedy family, but it is impossible to determine which consortium it is, or which consortiums it is.
Therefore, the Kennedy family, a security company with the shadow of a consortium behind it, naturally cannot fully believe it. Even if there are always accidents of one kind or another in their family, there may be a reason why their own bodyguards have been bribed to be ghosts.
Otherwise, why every 'accident' obviously feels like it is not an accident, but there is no evidence of homicide. Can only be dealt with as an accident?
Leaving his net worth and life to Yang Dongxu, naturally, the Kennedy family must be uneasy. But at least one thing is certain, they will be able to sleep peacefully for a long time to come.
Because he and Yang Dongxu are collaborators, the stronger the Kennedy family is bound by interests, the more benefits Yang Dongxu can receive. Therefore, the Kennedy family has not regained its former glory, and the cooperation between the two sides will always be in the honeymoon period.
"Your next job is to make sure that the pipeline can grow quickly until it goes public. You can't give you shares in other high-tech companies right now, and you can't keep them if you give them to you. After scolding Little Jack, Yang Dongxu got down to business.
Hearing him say this, Little Jack was obviously a little unconvinced, but finally opened his mouth and could only take a sip of the coffee in front of him. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that what Yang Dongxu said is the truth.
Because of the loss of a large number of arms orders, his current position in the consortium can be said to have plummeted. Many of the other contenders were already a little helpless at this point, and they wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart without a single threat.
At this time, if he has Google, or Microsoft and other successful investments involved in those consortia on Wall Street. Even if Yang Dongxu gave him the shares of these companies, he wouldn't be able to keep them, and what would happen was that they would be taken away by the family.
After all, the robbery of a large number of arms orders has dealt a heavy blow to his ability and prestige. Only by investing in such a new type of company as YouTube.
Then the tubing burst out with powerful energy, and his investment paid off dozens or even hundreds of times. Then he can once again prove his ability in front of the top management of the consortium and re-establish the prestige he lost.
In this way, while stabilizing their inheritance status, they can also take back a certain amount of power accordingly. Only what he has in his hands can belong to him, not someone else who can take it away at any time.
Of course, this power is still only corresponding, and it can only be said that he once again has the ability to protect himself among his competitors. The top management of the consortium still has the right to dispose of him. Only when it really becomes a consortium to live in it, can the one that belongs to him really belong to him. Rather than accidentally having to be deprived of it.
This is also the reason why these heirs are desperately trying to achieve that position. Even if he is not the head of the family in the end, at least the senior management of the consortium sits at the conference table and has the right to vote on decision-making, because only then can their things truly belong to them.
"I want to turn over, even if the oil pipe fire is not enough, I have to have other chips. Jack said after a moment's silence.
If YouTube investment can be successful, the biggest effect is to stop his current declining trend, and it is impossible to directly counterattack and turn over, unless YouTube can become the next Google.
Therefore, relative to the income of the oil pipeline, Jack, who basically lost all the arms orders in his hand. If you want to completely recover, you need to continue to increase the stakes for success.
Otherwise, he just stopped the decline, and he would still be at a disadvantage in the competition of many successors, and this disadvantage was undoubtedly something he didn't want to see. If Yang Dongxu wants to get more from him, he must also help him turn his disadvantages into advantages.
"How long can you hold on, I mean, when the YouTube investment is successful, how long can you hold on without being swallowed up by other heirs. Yang Dongxu thought for a moment and asked.
Jack frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Those old men in the consortium are still in good health, so if there are no major changes, the transfer of power will be at least 5 years later." ”
"In other words, there is a limit to the growth of you heirs?"
"But too weak will be swallowed. There are no guarantees. Jack retorted.
The so-called growth ceiling is that if the old men of Jack's consortium do not abdicate, their successors will have a ceiling limit on their growth except for rebelling and forcing them to take the throne.
It may even be possible, because the inheritor grows too fast and behaves too well to threaten the status of these old men, and be targeted.
So it's not good to be too jumpy at this time. Of course, he can't be as weak as Jack at this time, otherwise he will be swallowed by other competitions, and no one in his faction will speak to help him, and weakness is original sin without any reason.
"As long as the pipeline is successful at the end of the year, you still have the ability to protect yourself. If you really want to do something else, I can't interfere too much here, otherwise we will both be in trouble if we are discovered.
So if you have some money to spare, you can invest in tech stocks. It can be a small technology company, or it can be a current IT giant, buy it and hold it for a long time. And then don't touch real estate. ”
"Don't touch real estate? Real estate seems to be very hot in recent years, and as far as I know, real estate in your country has also risen very much. Jack looked at Yang Dongxu with some confusion.
"Just listen to me, don't listen to me, you can invest whatever you want. Yang Dongxu said with a flat face.
Jack gritted his teeth, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the prevaricating answer.
But Yang Dongxu obviously didn't need to explain to him, because of such a thing as the subprime mortgage crisis, it was obviously impossible to talk to Jack at this time. Not only Jack, but the Kennedy family is also in secrecy now, which is a big thunder.
With good use, Yang Dongxu can go to the next level and have the capital to compete with these consortia. So how could he let outsiders know when this big thunder was deinsured.
As for the US real estate boom right now, it's all just a bubble. Looking at the world, except for China, there are other third world countries whose real estate markets are only in their infancy.
The real estate market that seems to be booming in any developed country right now is a bubble. The bursting of the bubble in technology stocks that year led to the bankruptcy of many IT companies.
As a result, the hot money of economic development in the United States has been introduced to the real estate market, which is also the fundamental reason for the global real estate boom since 2000.
When the second major crisis of '08 came, the real estate bubble burst. Although many people went bankrupt and lost their jobs, which in turn caused a global financial crisis.
However, many people have benefited from the subprime mortgage crisis. In addition, while the government bails out the market, it must also promote economic development, so the technology industry has become a gathering place for hot money.
So at this time, take advantage of the time when the technology industry is just picking up, buy some shares. As soon as 08 years passed, coupled with the advent of the intelligent era, countless hot money frantically poured into the technology industry. Then these stocks in your hand now will be doubled up.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu told Little Jack that the purpose of investing in technology industry shares is obvious. For this person who once wanted to swallow him by force, he always kept his heart vigilant.
YouTube could give Jack a lease of life, and in a few years the shares of these tech industries would give him another life. As for whether it can turn defeat into victory and control the consortium.
Yang Dongxu needs a partner who can control the proportions, not an uncontrollable strong enemy. So in the end, what is the relationship between the two, it depends on how the two have gotten along in recent years.
