Waiting for that one moment where he'll fuck up and they can take over, with the entire multiverse as the prize. Oh sure, they'll cooperate for now, since cooperation will make it easy to put every single planet in every single timeline under one central command. That's how you get people like Maxie and Archie to cooperate. But the instant one of them smells blood, the entire goddamn pool will tear itself to shreds until the last man standing. And he'll wear the crown.
But until then, Giovanni is the man with the ambitions and dreams and organizational skills and motivations to pull this off, and he was probably the one to approach them and beat them into submission first before offering them a position with Team Rocket under the new name Rainbow Rockets, to symbolize the union of all these teams and make the union more palatable for the loser.
He also knows the sharks are circling and waiting for him to slip. But that just makes it more fun, doesn't it? Besides, that's just how criminal syndicates work, so he still holds home turf advantage. All he has to do is beat them into submission again and they'll fall right back in line, if Giovanni even lets them stay. Or live.
