Skye's answer made the major shareholder of GE stunned. At this moment, he was really surprised by Osborne's big appetite.

Although the stock market storm has not only affected one company, but many old-fashioned companies have also encountered the same setbacks, if someone has put his ideas on GE and ExxonMobil at the same time and plans to take advantage of them at this time, the first reaction of the major shareholder is to criticize him.

The reason is very simple. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Just looking at how much money Osborne spent to acquire the shares in their hands at this time, you can tell how difficult this matter is. Tens of billions of dollars can only take advantage of the current time to acquire most of General Electric's stocks. ExxonMobil, as the world's number one oil company, has been hit by a new energy company led by Stark in recent years, but after all, its size is there, and if you want to acquire it, the price will only be more than General Electric.

Now Osborne has done such a thing, and the only idea that this gives the major shareholder is that Osborne must be crazy. If GE alone is fine, after all, the industry under GE and Osborne Group have intersections. Taking advantage of the acquisition of GM now, as long as it can survive the subsequent turmoil and impact, Osborne Group may usher in a leap forward development. ExxonMobil is different.

The oil industry belongs to the sunset industry in today's world. Most developed countries in the world have now begun to replace the traditional status of oil with new energy. Therefore, ExxonMobil is nominally the world's largest oil company, but in fact, their market and prospects are beginning to decline.

Osborne is different. Because he holds Dr. Otto's nuclear solar technology contract at that time, their development direction is also tilting towards new energy. In this case, ExxonMobil will only be a useless rib for them. It is almost impossible for them to get too much benefit from ExxonMobil. On the contrary, they will fall into a crisis due to the drag of ExxonMobil.

This is not a good thing, especially in this turbulent day. Maybe because of such a burden, Osborne will face the same situation as them. Of course, the major shareholder will not say such a thing. He will only smile and shake Skye's hand, and then say this sincerely.

"Then I wish you good luck, and I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to succeed."

"Of course, there is no doubt about this." Skye replied with a bright smile. And just after he finished talking to the major shareholder, the agent named Mark had already returned to her with a lot of contracts.

"There is no problem anymore, Miss Johnson, we already hold 43% of GE's shares. As long as we negotiate with the bank, GE will belong to the Osborne Group. Let us congratulate ourselves. After today, Osborne will become the largest company in the world. Osborne will become the symbol of an era, and we are the pioneers of this era."

Lawyer Mark's expression was obviously very excited. Skye could understand his excitement. In fact, even herself had an unreal illusion because of all this at the moment. Has the famous General Electric become theirs? And a behemoth like ExxonMobil?

Although he knew the reasons for all this, Skye couldn't help but sigh at this time that the Stark government had really made a big move.

Yes, everything was arranged by the Stark government. I don’t know how Tony Stark negotiated with the country opposite. He actually borrowed huge amounts of funds from that country to impact his own capital market. And under this almost crazy capital impact, almost most of the well-known old companies were hit to varying degrees. Seriously, like General Electric, they were forced to replace a home. And it would not be easy to live easily. The impact of capital almost forced them to live a life with their waistbands. It can be imagined that in order to survive, they would have to take a series of actions.

It can be said that if it weren't for the financial stock market turmoil that was too targeted, it might have led to a national sexual uproar like the financial crisis. Even if things have not yet developed to such a point, all this could not be taken lightly.

The reason is very simple. The consortium has not yet realized the dangers and has not yet made any efforts. And similarly, all this is just the first step for the Stark administration's plan. Their subsequent follow-up actions must be more intense than what they are doing now, and the impact it has is completely immeasurable.

The Stark administration itself knew this. But their current situation was something that had to be fired. If we don’t create a situation that is beneficial to them as soon as possible, then they will only be the ones who waited for those opponents to react.

Passiveness and initiative are originally a key factor affecting the outcome. As the leader, Tony's personality determines that he hopes that he is the active party. So he did not care about these influences at all, but resolutely started the next move.

"Is everything ready? Is the capital in our hands enough to stabilize the next situation?"

"At present, we have enough capital in our hands. Whether it is General Electric, ExxonMobil, Johnson & Johnson, Walmart, and other companies under our capital control, we have already obtained enough decision-making power and voice. As long as there is no huge turmoil, the actions of these large companies will be under our control. In other words, before the consortium can react, we have cut a piece of meat from them. However, they should have almost responded."

Maria, who set up a special project team to monitor all this, replied, but when she answered this, she also appropriately expressed her worries.

"Morgan and Rockefeller have begun to send contacts to contact the capital of the opposite country. Although you have an agreement with them, it is difficult to ensure that there are too many people and they will not know anything from those people's mouths. In addition, banks under the names of various consortiums have also begun to take action. I doubt whether they will work hard to stabilize the stock market and even regain the shares of those companies."

"Don't worry about the bank's problems. It takes time for banks to raise funds, and they may not be able to raise so much money in such a short time. Besides, these companies will be contributed by us because they need to raise funds from the stock market to maintain their basic operations. The current situation is that we and Osborne have enough funds to ensure their operations. We can completely stop trading in the stock market during this period, so that those banks can't find a place to talk to them."

"It will consume a lot, and we may not be able to hold on to it for too much time."

Maria Hill reminded that she knew their current economic situation. Although they had a lot of reserves, they were several large multinational companies. Their consumption was always huge. Even with their current funds, it would be difficult to support a long-term stalemate. It was their only way to solve the problem. However, to quickly fight and decide these capital groups with deep-rooted forces in this country, it is not something that can be solved by just talking about it. This is very difficult, and now, everything Tony has done is just facing the difficulties.

"You are right, we can't drag too much. But we can't act rashly. Being fully prepared for precautions is the best way for us to deal with them."

Tony explained, and began to think about it in his heart. The consortium was different from other enemies. When facing other enemies, they could physically destroy him. However, in the face of such an enemy of capital, they could only use the rules of capital and the power of law to judge them.

Therefore, in this war, using violence becomes an undesirable option. Unless the other party uses violence first, they must not use such means. Because once they use such a precedent, not to mention whether it will trigger a war on the American land, it is unimaginable that they themselves destroy the American land order. In this country that is established by democracy and freedom, if the national government no longer plays according to the rules and begins to trample on the rules of the country, the consequences it causes are absolutely unimaginable.

The collapse of the system is sometimes more serious than the arrival of disasters. The Indian government today is an example. Imagine if the Indian government still exists now, would there be any Indians willing to support such a government?

By the same token, if the Stark administration tramples on the consistent insistence of the United States, it will completely lose the support of the Americans. At that time, even if he can destroy all his enemies, it will only be a result of self-destruction in the end. That is not something that the Stark administration can bear, so at this time, they can only play according to the rules honestly.
