I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Left Citibank.

Ji Cheng sat in the bulletproof car and walked towards Huajin Capital Company.

Jingling, the phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and answered the call, "Hello, I'm Ji Cheng."

Peter Peterson's voice came from the other end, "I heard you had a falling out with Citibank, State Street and Vanguard?"

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Peter, how do you know?"

"Know Lawrence Fink?" Peter Peterson asked.

Of course Ji Cheng knew, "Your partner, the current controller of Blackstone Financial Management Company, belongs to your Blackstone Group in name."

Peter Peterson said with bitterness in his tone, "Yes, that's him. Last year I recruited three senior senior partners, namely Roger Altman, a banker from Lehman Brothers, and Roger Altman from First Boston Bank. Lawrence Fink of the Mortgage Securities Department and another David Stockman who used to work in the government department, because I was afraid that several of them would compete for power, I set up a company mainly engaged in mortgage securities and securities for Lawrence Fink. Other fixed-income securities companies, that is, Blackstone Financial Management Group, Blackstone Group and Lawrence Fink each hold 50.00% of the shares, but I didn't expect to be so careful, and something went wrong."

Ji Cheng had searched for information about Heishi and Heiyan in the modern society, so he probably knew what happened.

Since Peter Peterson found three senior partners in [-], he has less and less right to speak in the company.

According to history, by [-], Schwarzman would gradually gain major control over the Blackstone Group and force Peter Peterson to sell more shares to the newly joined partners.

At this point, Peter Peterson completely lost control of Blackstone.

And until 230, something even more extreme came, that is, the assets under management of Blackstone Financial Management Company reached 8000 billion U.S. dollars. It was also this year that Blackstone Financial Management Company changed its name to Blackrock Asset Management Company, which later became known as Blackrock Asset Management Company. Well-known BlackRock, and this company was sold to the Pittsburgh National Bank Group at an ultra-low price of 3000 million. The most important thing is that [-] million was not obtained at once. At that time, only [-] million US dollars in cash and $[-] million in annual dividends for six years.

Looks like an extra 2000 million, doesn't it?

In fact, the management fee charged by the other party is more than 2000 million every year after acquiring Bailed!

It can be said that the Pittsburgh National Bank almost only paid $8000 million to get BlackRock.

The interesting thing is that the National Bank of Pittsburgh is actually an industry owned by the Mellon consortium.

After being acquired, the major shareholders of Bellard are basically companies under the major consortiums of Pretty Country, such as Vanguard Group, State Street Bank, Pretty Country Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Wellington Management Group, Morgan Stanley, etc. .

Needless to say, Vanguard Group and State Street Bank.

Pretty Country Bank is part of a California consortium.

JPMorgan and Chase are controlled by the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family. Of course, JPMorgan and Chase have not yet merged.

Morgan Stanley is also owned by the Morgan family.

What's more, these companies all have cross-shareholdings.

In the modern society, if someone is careful to dig, they will definitely find that behind the many large companies in the beautiful country, there are Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, State Street, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, The figures of companies such as the United States Bank of America and Mellon Bank.

What does this mean?

On behalf of the beautiful country, the top ten financial groups are colluding!

They will continue to infiltrate major companies in the beautiful country by various means, and Blackstone Group and Blackrock Group are obviously one of the infiltrated ones.

Ji Cheng thought about it, and he didn't understand why Peter Peterson suddenly brought up this matter, "Peter, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Peter Peterson interrupted and said, "I heard the news by accident when Lawrence Fink was chatting with someone."

Ji Cheng was taken aback, "I just fell out with State Street Bank, Citibank and Vanguard Group, how did he know?"

"Think carefully." Peter Peterson was intriguing.

Ji Cheng was silent for a moment, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "You mean..."

"That's right!" Peter Peterson affirmed: "They're after you, to be precise, they're after a potential company called Joaquin Capital!"

Ji Cheng took a deep breath, "Do you know when it started?"

"It started when you moved the Rockefeller family cake." Peter Peterson said.

Did I start by selling Rockefeller Center to Mitsubishi Estate?

So why did State Street, Citibank, and Vanguard ostensibly work with me?

Are you trying to test my skills?

Ji Cheng thinks it's probably true.

Why do you say that?

Because Ji Cheng thought that before he manipulated the tens of billions of dollars of foreign exchange market, Citibank, Vanguard Group and State Street Bank were polite, and it was not until he succeeded that he began to break his promise.

In other words, these consortiums recognized his ability.

At first, when Ji Cheng heard the information disclosed by John and himself, he thought that the Vanguard Group, State Street Bank and Citibank had just reached an agreement with the Rockefeller family.

Now it seems that this is not the case, but these big consortiums think he can be subdued.

Behind the scenes, the top ten financial groups wanted to suppress Huajin Capital by various means, forcing Ji Cheng to bow to one of the top ten financial groups in exchange for stable development.

Before Citibank took the initiative to show its favor, it was obvious that it wanted to bring Ji Cheng under its command. After all, he had shown enough skills to be able to stand on his own. If any consortium could absorb him, it would be another capable fighter.

Then, based on the analysis of the information disclosed by Peter Peterson, I am afraid that what I will face this time is not only the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, Citibank, and State Street.

These financial groups will jointly suppress him, and at the same time, they will play games with each other to get him under their command for their own use.

Fuck, you want me to be a wage earner?

Ji Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, knowing that the enemy is very strong this time, at least before he gets the admission ticket, these consortiums will use various means to force him to submit.

Now I have only two paths.

First, bow to a certain consortium in exchange for protection and development time.

Second, continue to fight until you get an admission ticket and are on an equal footing with these consortiums.

The first path is relatively easy, but the highest achievement in the future will be the high-level wage earner.

The second path has even higher achievements, and that is to become the No.11 consortium that controls the lifeline of the beautiful country.

It's just that this way is destined to be in Qi District, Ji Cheng has to break through the siege of the top ten financial groups, and if he is not careful, he will be smashed to pieces.

Well, this description is a bit exaggerated, but one thing is for sure, if he really fails, then he will not be able to work in the beautiful country in the future, unless he becomes a wage earner.

It is impossible to work part-time.

Without hesitation, Ji Cheng had a choice, and that was to fight to the end!

Peter Peterson was still saying, "Ji, if those financial groups give you sweets, don't take them! Otherwise, you will repeat my mistakes!"

Ji Chengdao: "I know." He paused, "Peter, although I have a good relationship with you, it's not enough for you to call to deliberately remind me? Do you have other things?"

"As expected of the Silver Lion of the East." Peter Peterson exclaimed, "Smart people don't speak secretly, let's make a deal."

Ji Cheng said, "What deal?"

Peter Peterson said with a bit of madness in his tone: "You help me drive Lawrence Fink out, and I will cooperate with you to fight against these big consortia!"

Get Lawrence Fink out?

This is equivalent to reorganizing the assets of the Blackstone Group by yourself!

Ji Cheng definitely doesn't have that much money on hand to do this right now, but it won't be so if he shorts soybean futures.

If he remembers correctly, Blackstone Financial Management still owns shares in the oil giant Exxon, and these few shares are exactly one of the Rockefeller family's previous control over Exxon.

If Ji Cheng can help Peter Peterson regain full control over the entire Blackstone Group, then it will be able to weaken the Rockefeller family's control over Exxon Corporation.

"Yes." Ji Cheng agreed, "It's just that if I want to drive Lawrence Fink out, I must obtain a certain amount of equity in Blackstone Financial Management Company. I don't have that much money to take the equity of your company, wait a month... no, half a month, I should have money by then."

"Half a month? Can you get a lot of dollar bills in half a month?" Peter Peterson asked curiously.

Ji Cheng doesn't believe anyone now, and he didn't explain to Peter Petersen, "You will know when the time comes."

Peter Peterson also knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask, so he said, "Wait for your good news."

hang up the phone.

Ji Cheng closed his eyes and began to think about things carefully.

Peter Peterson took the initiative to come to the door for help. I didn't expect it.

However, Blackstone Financial Management owns a small amount of shares in Exxon. If this ally can be obtained, it may be an opportunity for Ji Cheng to break through the siege of the top ten financial groups.

He hasn't figured out many things yet.

But one thing is already clear, that is, he will fight with the top ten financial groups from now on!

Thinking of this, the corner of Ji Cheng's mouth suddenly curled into an arc, and he said to Tom who was driving, "Go back to Citibank."

"Okay, sir."

Tom slowed down to find a place to turn around.

"Wait! Don't go, let's go back to Huajin Capital first."

Ji Cheng thought about it carefully, and felt that it would not be good to go back to Citibank now, as the intention was too obvious.

Yes, he is ready to play Infernal Affairs!

On the surface, he bowed his head to Citibank and took the one billion loan to make the other party think that he surrendered and could detect the movement of funds.

Just going back so hastily, Citibank will definitely suspect him.

Unless I... was suppressed and "humiliated" went back to ask for help.

Ji Cheng laughed. When that time comes, let alone Citibank, no one in the top ten conglomerates of the Beautiful Country will suspect that he is cheating.

Of course, he will definitely let these people find out that he is "deceitful", otherwise how can he cheat those consortiums?

……

Back to Joaquin Capital.

As soon as Ji Cheng walked in, he saw Steve White and Sophia Green gathered together with extremely serious expressions, not knowing what to talk about.

He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Cheng."

"Mr. Cheng."

The two greeted each other first.

Immediately, Steve White frowned and said, "Several potential companies that the company is looking at today have all been snatched away."

Sophia Green seemed a little aggrieved, "Several companies had agreed with us verbally and just waited for the official signing of the contract, but they called me one after another today and told me that I didn't need to invest. At first, I thought the conditions were low. , I was planning to negotiate with them again, but I didn’t expect to hear from various channels that these companies have been taken over by different venture capital companies, including Rock Capital and Citi Ventures.”

Yo, do it so soon?

Ji Cheng didn't show any emotion, he waved his hands and said, "If you are robbed, you will be robbed, you can go on to other things.":

"Mr. Cheng, there is one more thing."

Steve White smiled bitterly: "If this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep busy."

"Oh?" Ji Cheng asked, "What's the matter?"

"The government department of the beautiful country sent people over, saying that our company's business projects are not clear, not only issued a ticket, but also asked us to clarify the business projects before we can continue to operate." Steve White said helplessly: "I'm afraid we There is no way to open in a short time, and if the normal process is followed, it will take at least half a month to solve it."

half a month?

Isn't this the time limit for shorting soybean futures?

As soon as Ji Cheng heard it, he knew that those big consortiums were starting to suppress him.

According to the normal scenario, if Huajin Capital cannot operate for a short time, then the funds will no longer be able to go to the company's account, let alone short soybean futures.

It's a pity that a lot of Ji Cheng's funds are in his private account, so he is not afraid of these small tricks at all.

"Well, I see." Ji Cheng nodded, and began to issue orders in an orderly manner, saying: "Strip off all projects that are unclear in operation, and re-establish several wholly-owned holding subsidiaries."

"Uh..." Steve White was a little confused, "Isn't it good to divest our company before it's on the right track?"

Didn't Ji Cheng know that it's not good to do so, but since he's going to fight this time with the Pretty State Consortium, if he succeeds, many of the company's businesses will have to be spun off, so why not take the opportunity to spun off first, "Do as I say! "

"Understood, Mr. Cheng." Steve White didn't say anything more.

Sophia Green opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

Ji Cheng waved his hand, "You cooperate with Steve to deal with the company's affairs first, and don't worry about the rest, I still have something to do."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out, and said to Tom, "Come on, let's go to Citibank now!"

Oh, I just said it was not the time.

Didn't expect it to be done so soon.

Ji Cheng knew that the battle between himself and the Pretty State Consortium had begun.

If he loses, he will have nothing.

If you win, you can get a ticket.

He seems to have no other choice but to succeed, but before that, he can buy himself some time.
