Chapter 624 Fighting with Wall Street
"Hey! Donald, nice to meet you, how are you doing lately?"
After sleeping with someone else's daughter, little Gilbert still gave Donald face and acted very enthusiastically.
Donald hugged little Gilbert, and then said: "I came from New York, and I heard a lot of things there.
Do you know what the rich guys in New York say about you? ”
"How to say?"
"They say you're a hypocritical and shameless macho bastard. Oh my God, their eyes are blind." Donald looked like he shared the same hatred.
Little Gilbert smiled nonchalantly and said: "Let them talk whatever they want, Donald. There will never be a shortage of people like this in the world. They are jealous of our success and our wealth."
The consortium wants the wealth in Little Gilbert's hands for more than a day or two, especially those in New York. They even want to use Washington to persecute Little Gilbert.
Previously, there were invitations from various clubs to invite little Gilbert to join the club. Many rich women were interested in little Gilbert, and some people planned to take little Gilbert to love lolita together.
It's just that after little Gilbert did that, the solicitation became less and turned into suppression.
It's just that although Little Gilbert's power is not as powerful as theirs, it is not that easy to control. As long as he doesn't make weapons, those in the financial and medical fields really can't do anything to little Gilbert.
Little Gilbert himself is a media tycoon, so it is useless to use the media to bad-mouth him. Gilbert Jr. is also a representative of Silicon Valley capital, and even Bill Gates participated in the Life Fund established by him and Steve Jobs.
Peter Thiel in Silicon Valley Capital is a loyal supporter of Gilbert Jr., running up and down for him in Silicon Valley.
On the surface, this is a suppression of Gilbert Jr. by New York's financial capital and pharmaceutical complex, but it is actually a warning to Silicon Valley's high-tech capital.
Just in June of this year, a certain gentleman in Washington proposed to restrict the development of computers to avoid the situation in the movie where artificial intelligence developed by computers controls the future world.
Many people think this reason is nonsense when they hear it. How is this possible? It would probably take hundreds of years to achieve that kind of artificial intelligence!
But in this country of nonsense, nothing is impossible, and you can just make up any crime.
Therefore, although high-tech companies in Silicon Valley strongly oppose it, Washington has still entered the discussion stage, which worries companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon in Silicon Valley.
Not to mention apples, bananas, watermelons and other companies that are deeply related to Gilbert Jr. are now waiting for the bill to be released.
That's not what Donald came for. In fact, he came to ask for help. Donald Group mainly focuses on real estate, which once became a pillar industry in North America.
However, countless cases in the past have proven that placing hope in the real estate industry and inflating housing prices will eventually fail. In the past, the housing prices in Tokyo could even buy the entire United States, emptying the wallets of generations of people.
Look now, only false prosperity remains.
As a shrewd businessman, Donald naturally sensed a crisis in the real estate industry, so he sought transformation.
After thinking about it, I still think that my cheap son-in-law has the ability to help him, even though Ivanka and little Gilbert are not married.
Ivanka sat aside obediently. Although it was her father who came to seek help, she did not want little Gilbert to be in trouble and waited for little Gilbert to make a decision.
Little Gilbert said; "The crisis in the real estate industry is indeed coming. Donald, I do have a short-term business to do. It depends on whether you dare to invest."
Donald became interested: "What short-term business?"
"Did you know about the Great Depression?"
"Of course I know, it's caused by the economic crisis." Donald responded: "You mean, there's going to be an economic crisis?"
"There are already signs of this, but Wall Street and Washington are still whitewashing the peace." Little Gilbert said: "If you are interested, go back and raise a sum of funds and give it to Ivanka.
The Fruit Foundation operates and we can profit from this economic crisis.
More importantly, it can combat the arrogance of Wall Street. You can also use the funds obtained to help the company transform. ”
Donald was very moved after hearing this. He looked at Ivanka and felt that Gilbert would not cheat him, so he agreed. "Okay, I will raise funds and participate when I get back."
"Okay, do it secretly and try not to be discovered by others."
"Don't worry, absolutely not."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Donald talked about other things: "Ivanka, it's been so long, why aren't you pregnant with a baby? I'm still waiting to hold my grandson!"
Ivanka was shy: "Dad, how could you say that to your face!"
"What's going on? It's a matter of course." Donald patted little Gilbert on the shoulder and said, "You have to work hard, young man."
After Donald left, Ivanka asked worriedly: "Will the economic crisis you mentioned really happen?"
"What? Are you afraid that I will steal Donald's money?"
"That's not true, it's just that I don't think they will watch the economic crisis happen."
Little Gilbert laughed and said: "If we really had that kind of consciousness, there would be no Great Depression. Capital is selfish and cowardly, and even if death is imminent, they will only shrink their heads."
After a pause, Little Gilbert said: "By the way, Ivanka, ask the investment department to do an evaluation.
I estimate that many banks will go bankrupt by then. We will find a bank with a good debt situation and good qualifications to take over. ”
"You want to open a bank? People on Wall Street must hate you!" Ivanka's eyes widened.
Little Gilbert said nonchalantly: "Ever since I blocked Wall Street funds from the Banana Company and Watermelon Company, I have been at odds with Wall Street.
At worst, give more shares to those who make weapons, and you can't let those losers on Wall Street take them away.
Besides, they are already a fruit consortium. What kind of consortium is it without a bank?
Just do it! ”
Ivanka nodded and went to do things in high heels.
Sometimes I feel helpless when I think about it. An ordinary film director has no ability to resist at all. It's not easy to be a soft persimmon, but people are still staring at you, wanting to get rid of you as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the attitude of the people who make weapons is okay. Although they also need money, they care more about their own land.
Unlike Wall Street, they are greedy and think that the whole world belongs to Wall Street, which makes little Gilbert quite uncomfortable.
However, the subsequent economic crisis is an opportunity to hit Wall Street financial capital, and this is also the result that Silicon Valley capital wants to see.
Washington thinks that playing with finance is the core of everything, but in Silicon Valley's view, high technology is the core of everything.
If it doesn't work, let Donald repeat the route of his previous life. What Ma Kaiyuan can do, little Gilbert can do too, and even better.
Of course, it doesn't seem that serious now. At present, it is at most a battle of interests rather than a battle of routes.
But sooner or later, everyone will come to the opposite side.
After Donald returned to New York, he began to secretly raise funds for the group company and sell many of its properties. Externally, it was said that the group was experiencing capital turnover difficulties and was in urgent need of cash flow.
Although the real estate industry in the United States is sluggish, many of the Donald Group's properties across the United States have good values. In addition, since Donald is selling below the market price, there is still a certain market.
Donald's idea is simple. He needs money now. Instead of letting these properties go to his hands, it is better to transfer them in exchange for funds.
Soon after a sum of funds was raised, it was handed over to the fruit company, and the plan for the economic crisis began.
