Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

When Yang Dongxu and Troy were walking in the manor, Jerde was processing documents in the study, with a cat lying next to him.

Although the general framework of most people's offices is the same, such as desks, bookshelves, desk lamps, etc.

Of course, there are many places that maintain the personality of the owner, such as the type of solid wood used in the furniture, and the placement of small objects on the table.

And if you have watched the movie The Godfather, when you look at Gerard's office, you will find that everything in his office is exactly the same as in the movie The Godfather, even the types of books on the bookshelf and the order of visits are the same.

If you look more carefully, you will find that even the furniture seems to be original from the Godfather movie.

Yes, Gerard loved the movie "The Godfather" very much. Not only did the entire study look exactly like the scene in the Godfather movie, but even the furniture and objects were purchased from the filming locations of The Godfather at a huge price.

Not only that, he also has a lot of clothes at home, such as black woolen coats, leather shoes, hats, etc., all of the same style as the godfather's.

Gerard is the white glove of the royal family. He rarely interacts with the dark side because he must keep himself clean in order to keep the royal family clean.

So some dirty work is not something he needs to deal with. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Jerde is a businessman who does serious business and is very caring.

Little did he know that Gerard's biggest ideal was to be a gangster godfather. Even if he couldn't be a gangster godfather, he still wanted to be a godfather in some aspects, such as the business empire he had built with his own hands.

A man who looked like an assistant walked into his study and placed a letter on his desk.

Jelder was dealing with the documents in his hands the whole time, taking a sip of strong coffee from time to time without raising his head at all. He didn't reach for the envelope next to him until he had finished handling the matter in his hand.

The content inside is about Yang Dongxu's today's itinerary, including a simple introduction to meeting Yang Dongxu and Tuoyi. At the same time, there is also news that Dai'er went to see Yang Dongxu early in the morning, and that Matthew went to see Yang Dongxu.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Jerde pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone next to him and dialed.

"Hello."

"Yang Dongxu went to see Tuoyi."

"What about the goods being transported from England?" William's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It is estimated that Toy has been very close to some officials from the Foreign Trade Bureau in the past two months, and some channels should have been opened." Jeld said.

"Don't worry about him. Let's do the things at hand first. It won't be good for either of us if we don't touch that line for the time being."

"Okay, I understand. Dai'er went to the hotel this morning and hasn't come out yet."

"We will not interfere with the Spencer family's affairs."

"Okay." Jeld responded, and then said, "Andre's side has not been very peaceful these days. He is very close to Count Hedrew."

"It doesn't matter what happened to us. If he really does something that cannot be covered up, everything will follow normal procedures. We don't care about Yang Dongxu's line. It doesn't mean that we have to help cover up what people on this line do.

"

"Understood." Jelder hung up the phone.

The second basket trained by Yang Dongxu is very hidden from outsiders.

For example, Australia, Shenyou, and Canada all thought that those products were invested and constructed overseas by a British company, and had no idea that there was a Chinese boss behind these products.

But all this is no secret to Gerard and the royal family.

After all, if Yang Dongxu can really cultivate such a large force under the nose of the royal family without being noticed, then he can really try to see if he can control a country.

Knowing but not stopping is the current tacit understanding of cooperation between Yang Dongxu and William.

Because William wouldn't gain much by smashing the basket in Yang Dongxu's hand. Instead, he would be impressed by the cooperation between him and Yang Dongxu.

By default, Yang Dongxu's basket exists. Yang Dongxu makes profits by selling goods, and the British side increases tax revenue by doing foreign trade, and both parties can benefit.

Anyway, these products, even if Yang Dongxu is not here, are sold to Australia, Shenyou and Canada by other manufacturers. When those products are imported and exported from other countries, the UK has no way to get tax.

So as long as they don't cross the line, the two sides will maintain this tacit understanding. And now Andre is undoubtedly testing the bottom line of crossing the line, so Yang Dongxu frowns like that.

Yang Dongxu Neixin also knew that William knew about his basket. After all, he was in the UK and could not completely conceal his itinerary.

Whether he met Troy or Andre, it was not once or twice. And he had no intention of hiding it.

When Jelder reported Yang Dongxu's itinerary to William.

Picken and Sandway were sitting in the study of Charles's manor.

Many rich Americans have houses and even manors and horse farms in London. Many rich British people have farms in the United States and even contract national parks. This is normal.

National parks, in particular, are the favorite investment projects of many businessmen.

"What should we do now, increase the stakes? Or agree to bring in Little Jack and the others to deal with the old consortiums together?" Charles straightened his tie, sat behind the desk and leaned on the back of the chair with his hands crossed.

Opposite him sat Sandway and Picken.

Picken stroked his beard, "Twitter and Facebook are currently developing very well, especially Facebook's users are increasing very quickly, even faster than YouTube's users before Google acquired YouTube.

"

After Picken's words fell, the two of them couldn't help but look at Sandway next to them. Picken had already said this, and his intention was undoubtedly that he wanted to continue betting.

Because even if the smartphone side fails in the end, they can still be a top giant in the Internet industry with the two major products of Twitter and Facebook.

Being a top giant with the right to speak is much more free than being restricted in Wall Street. Even if you can't get into the consortium's threshold, you can at least put a foot in it, and you still have hope of entering that top circle.

Sandaway took a puff of his cigar and said, "Actually, ever since we sat down at this poker table, we have either won to the end or lost all our chips. We have never had the option of temporarily leaving the table without betting."

Charles and Picken's expressions became solemn.

They understand what Sandway means, and now the consortium has noticed the three of them. Either they will win until the end, or they will fail and be eliminated completely.

If you want to surrender at this time and let the consortium give them a hand, you might as well pray for a Mark Six lottery win.

"Then put all your efforts into blocking the claws extended by those consortiums this time. Of course, you won't be able to resist forcefully, and some benefits will still have to be given.

At the same time, in addition to loosening restrictions on smartphones and getting resources for Twitter and Facebook to grow faster, investment by those companies must also speed up," Charles said.

Picken took a sip of black tea and said, "It is not a big problem for the smartphones and the Internet companies in our hands to use this opportunity to obtain resources. But it is too difficult to invest in those companies. After all, those consortiums have begun to pay attention to the Internet."

In fact, it is not that the consortium has not always paid attention to the Internet, or that they are originally the bosses behind the top technology companies in the United States.

For example, Microsoft, Intel, and now Apple. Behind these are consortiums.

What the consortium currently lacks is the sudden rise of a few Internet industries, such as Google's search engine.

At first, the consortium was interested in Yahu, and did not pay attention to Google, the little brother. By the time they noticed, Jack and Kennedy had already completed the layout, and they were caught off guard and could not intervene anymore.

However, the consortium has the ability to adjust quickly and has a lot of resources at its disposal. It can still keep up even if it makes a mistake. For example, Weibo and instant messaging software have become popular in the United States.

Among them, the promoters of Weibo and chat software that appear to be driven by venture capital actually have consortiums behind them.

In addition, the consortium is also making plans in other Internet companies, such as Amazon, AT, Oracle and other companies that have begun to take off. They are currently important targets for the consortium.

Currently, among the corporate targets of the small team such as Sandway and others, there are also companies such as Amazon and AT, which is why Picken said that this matter is too difficult.

Because you are trying to steal meat from the consortium, unless you are like Yang Dongxu, who directly gets the original shares when these companies are not yet developed.

At that time, the consortium had no idea what the company was used for, so it ignored it and could steal the chicken.

When the consortium starts to hunt these companies, if you still want to steal the chicken, be careful that the consortium eats you as well.

"Then we must make a bet, even if we are just a small shareholder and join the shareholders' meeting. After all, relying only on Twitter and Facebook, our chips are still a little thin, and we cannot place all our important support on smartphones.

After all, even if you succeed in the field of smartphones, the majority will belong to Yang Dongxu, the second portion will belong to William and the others, and the rest will be ours." Sandway said.

Charles and Picken couldn't help but nodded. They were considered the number one figures on Wall Street, and could even be said to be questioned by top bosses.

But in the competitive environment of consortiums, they are a vulnerable group. They don't want to take the opportunity to increase their physical strength. Even if the hunting team succeeds in the end, you will be able to eat the cake if you get the cake.

"The real estate market has been a bit unstable recently." After reaching the preliminary agreement, Sandway suddenly changed the topic.

"Where's Lehman Brothers?" Picken was stunned for a moment.

"They have been too active in the past few years and have snatched away the cakes of many consortiums. Moreover, the foundation of their new consortium is not very stable," Sandway said.

"Several consortiums seem to have ideas about Lehman Brothers, and Lehman Brothers is going to choose to go head-on this time. We just don't know where the breaking point is." Charles continued.

The three people couldn't help but look at each other, and the study fell into silence.
