1259 Divide the cake again
After Citi's strength and assets increased significantly, Li Changheng also controlled 32% of Citi's shares.
In addition, the handheld machine company launched the tank war again, and the two Super Mario games made the company sell 55 million units in a year, with sales directly exceeding 5 billion.
And become the most influential and powerful person in finance and the year.
Andre, Frank and others felt that Li Changheng was a little anxious to launch four games in a row.
But these people didn't know that Li Changheng's purpose was to make good use of games and transplant them to computers of this era to suppress sales of companies such as Atari and Nintendo that produce home game consoles.
Then follow the trend to enter the computer and software industries, and at the same time compressing the funding sources of these opponents can also slow down their time entering the handheld console industry, or develop new games again.
After the products of the two companies come out, as soon as they can be launched with the handheld console that replaces the game cartridge, they may directly bankrupt the two companies.
By then, Li Changheng would no longer keep the shares of the handheld machine company.
However, to be honest, Li Changheng actually doesn’t have much cash in his hand.
Citigroup's market value alone increased to 40 billion, 48 billion and 56 billion, and purchased 7.5% of the company's shares before and after three purchases, consumed its 3.6 billion US dollars in cash.
Unfortunately, according to the contract that year, Li Changheng could only buy 6 times in a row. After mastering 32% of the shares, if he wanted to continue buying, all shareholders of the board of directors had to agree.
But just this 32% stake has already made him worth more than 20.1 billion.
Including other assets and game console companies that are already extremely popular in the market, there is no problem with their net worth over 40 billion.
After the media reported this, someone simply calculated that Li Changheng's wealth alone was 4 billion more than the other nine people in the top ten rankings.
Even if it only looks at the wealth on the books, he is more rich than the entire consortium composed of Boston's major interest combinations, which focuses on life, aviation, textiles, shoes, clothing and food.
Li Changheng suddenly became the world's number one in the true sense. While he was happy, he became helpless.
The most direct manifestation is that in the past year and a half, Lao Tu and Bonaparte of the suicide squad reported more than once that unknown people appeared around Ruan Mei and Yumiko.
Without guessing, Li Changheng knew that someone wanted to use the chaotic relationship between men and women to make their reputations, or to use it to threaten them when necessary.
Fortunately, Annie already knew about the existence of Ruan Mei and Yumiko. Angela was still young, and her second child was still in Annie's belly.
As long as the family is not in chaos, Li Changheng will have a lot of room for improvement.
The Ninja of the Baidi Family has launched 6 of this missions in the past six months and killed at least 40 people.
But Li Changheng knew that killing alone was useless.
And he didn't plan to eat alone, at least he knew that he had to win over a group of people as much as possible.
Andre, Frank and Lowell and Lawrence of Boston, the heirs of the Elkins family of Texas, have begun to show a trend of catching up with their parents because of their own advice and guidance.
The people in power in several major families were both worried about Li Changheng's ever-increasing wealth, and at the same time, they were reluctant to let the next generation cooperate with him, and they gained real huge benefits.
As long as Li Changheng can ensure that some people don’t go against him, he can maintain a fragile balance.
So, this time he asked Taylor to call and did not deliberately tell Taylor that, like in 1977, he deliberately avoided several large-scale pension and retirement funds, as well as Morgan and Lockefe.
Of course these forces were dissatisfied afterwards, but seeing Citi's scale doubled and its influence increased several times. Even if someone caused trouble at the board of directors, he would only dare to target Taylor, the chairman of the board of directors.
Moreover, after Li Changheng met many people in private, all his dissatisfaction was suppressed.
Starting at 6 pm the next day, a convoy entered the manor one after another, and the happiest one must be Angela.
More than a dozen guests not only gave gifts themselves, but also basically gave another gift on behalf of their wives.
So much so that the little guy's hands were sore when he opened the gifts.
Then he curled his lips and pushed several packaged gift boxes to Li Changheng's feet. Li Changheng shook his head helplessly, tore off the packaging at random, and immediately gained Angela's admiration.
Perhaps because of the influence of Andre's red, blue and green gem deer the previous year, more than 20 gifts were basically all jewelry.
Li Changheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head and thought, if he came here once or twice a year, Angela would be able to hold a jewelry exhibition directly after she was 14 or 5 years old.
Moreover, in this era, if you order jewelry for luxury goods worth hundreds of thousands per piece, or these jewelry passed down by others, twenty years later, it will definitely be fine if you spend millions.
If Angela can achieve great success in some aspects, there is no problem with whether it is one or two times more valuable.
Damn it, Angela can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars just by calculating these gifts.
Fortunately, Anne doesn't envy her at all, because she can really use diamonds and jewelry to open museums.
After dinner, the group came to the study room to sit down, chatted as usual, smoked cigars and drank red wine, and waited for Anne, the hostess, to bring the servants to the refreshment.
Surprisingly, the person who came this time was not Anne, but Angela who changed into a princess dress.
The person who was smoking a cigar had to extinguish the cigarette under the gaze of Li Changheng.
After opening the window and exhausting the air, everyone looked at the little guy with some unstandard etiquette and couldn't help but want to laugh but couldn't.
Li Changheng doesn't care. Anyway, Annie will definitely ask Angela to learn a little bit.
"Dad, can I stay here?"
Li Changheng was stunned and thought a lot in his heart in an instant, and even a nameless anger surged into his heart.
He squatted down and asked, "Dear, what Daddy talked to the guests is not something that children of your age should contact."
Angela tilted her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and nodded in a dismay, "When Dad is busy, come and play with Angela early, and I'm going to sleep with Dad tonight."
Hearing this, Li Changheng felt relieved to kiss Angela on the forehead.
As long as someone instigated Angela to get involved in business, everything else would be a minor problem.
Watching Angela leave the study under Meryl's leadership, Andre smiled and said, "Henry, I regret it now."
When everyone heard Andrei regret it, they couldn't help looking at him curiously.
Andre sighed, "Angela must have inherited your talent, and so small it shows curiosity about business.
