Chapter 751: Merrill Lynch's Great Changes (Part II)

……

"I know about Merrill Lynch's Golden Parachute Program. Since I decided to buy, I will also execute according to the contract. So O'Neill, you're going to get your pension. Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

Although the Golden Parachute Project would have cost him a certain amount, in fact the money was borne by Merrill Lynch's finances, and if he had held shares, he had actually lost less than half. The remaining half is naturally borne by Merrill Lynch's other shareholders.

After staring at him deadly, Stan O'Neill took a deep breath. As the chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch, O'Neill's psychological quality is naturally far beyond ordinary people, although the struggle for control of Merrill Lynch failed, but he did not completely lose his cool.

"Bruce, I hope you won't regret it!"

"I never regret it!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

One last glance at him, Stan O'Neill turned abruptly and strode out of the conference room.

"Mr. Fakhani, it's time for you to leave, too!"

The CFO is the company's steward, second only to the CEO, and Guo Shouyun will not give this position to someone he does not trust.

"You won't be complacent for long!"

"It's my business, so I don't have to worry about Mr. Raofakahane!"

After a cold snort, Ahmez Fakahane, like Stan O'Neill, left with the last of his stubbornness.

In the blink of an eye, the two core giants of the company's management were swept away, giving the Merrill Lynch directors present a huge shock, so much so that they still haven't come back to their senses to think about all this.

Of course, there is no need to think, because Guo Shouyun, who holds the absolute controlling stake, has already mastered everything about Merrill Lynch.

"Alright, everyone, let's elect the chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive officer of Merrill Lynch!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and walked to the place that belonged to Stan O'Neill and sat down.

MMP, you have a controlling stake and choose a fart!

Of course, it's good to think about it in your heart, and no one dares to say it if you want to keep this job.

Needless to say, Guo Shouyun became the chairman of the board of directors of Merrill Lynch, and Michael Moretz, who was nominated by him, also successfully became the CEO of Merrill Lynch!

……

"Merrill Lynch has changed hands, Wall Street has changed dramatically!"

"Bruce Kwok, the new owner of Bank Merrill Lynch!"

"Merrill Lynch is being bought out in a hostile takeover!"

"Bang...!"

The clenched fist smashed against the stacked newspapers, even though it had a shock-absorbing effect, it still caused a huge shock throughout the conference room. And from his faintly blue knuckles, you can see the strength of the master's fist, and you can also see his anger at the moment.

"O'Neill, calm down!"

"Calm down! I said I should have done it sooner, but you have to wait. Now it's okay, Merrill Lynch has fallen into the hands of Bruce Guo!Damn, why should I work with you guys, what's the use of you!"

The tall Stan O'Neill looked like an enraged lion at this point, and his roar shook the room.

Jon Winkred, the president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs who was sprayed in the face by him, was also angry in his heart. But more of it was the shock and sorrow brought about by the sudden change of Merrill Lynch.

"O'Neill, Merrill Lynch's change is a foregone conclusion. Even anger now won't help. And how to turn around the situation that is not good for us is what we should be most concerned about than meaningless emotional catharsis!" said Jon Winkreid.

Stan O'Neill, who was venting his emotions, took a deep breath, his face was still ugly, but he had calmed down and said, "I'm not interested in anything except to get Merrill Lynch back!"

Feeling the coldness he exuded, Jon Winkreid, who made a fortune from shorting LinkedIn, was re-entered into the ice cellar by Merrill Lynch before he could enjoy the joy of victory.

"Everybody, you know that. As the second largest investment bank on Wall Street, Merrill Lynch has the best financial research department in the world and has a strong influence on the investment field, especially public opinion. If we are in the hands of Bruce Kwok, coupled with Phoenix Bank, Global Fortune Network, and The Matrix's CW TV, our advantage in public opinion will be greatly diminished. ”

"Don't forget Bloomberg News, Merrill Lynch owns 20 percent of it! Michael Bloomberg will be at the mercy of Bruce Guo as long as he doesn't want to lose his fortune!" Stan O'Neill reminded in a cold voice.

Bloomberg News' influence in the financial world is well known, as the world's three largest financial advisory firms standing alongside Reuters and Thomson Group, its clients are all over the world, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other official institutions in the United States, and major central banks around the world.

If Bloomberg News switches to the Kwok camp, then it will be much less likely that they will want to influence public opinion to grasp the rise and fall of oil and gold futures. If they can't let oil and gold futures fall and tie up Bruce Guo's money, then their plans for the rest will be meaningless.

“… So, we must not let Bruce Kwok get Merrill Lynch!" Jon Winkred nodded solemnly.

"The point is that Bruce Guo has taken an absolute controlling stake in Merrill Lynch, and his takeover is not unconstitutional," said Citigroup Vice Chairman Steven Volcker.

"While Bruce Kwok's actions are not unconstitutional, we can stop his control of Merrill Lynch in the name of a monopoly!" William Schiff laughed.

"Monopoly?"

Everyone was amazed.

Bruce Kwok's Phoenix Bank is now the fourth-largest bank in the United States after Citigroup, Bank of America and MG Chase, with 37.2 million customers and $700 billion in total assets. Merrill Lynch is the world's second-largest investment bank after Morgan Stanley, with $175 million in assets under custody. On the grounds that 'individuals hold too many large financial institutions in the country, they are suspected of monopolization and interfere with fairness in the financial field', and we lobbied the Senate and House of Representatives to get Bruce Guo to leave Merrill Lynch through political rights!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

Business skills and politics are not good, although they were caught off guard by Bruce Guo, but they did not completely fail.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, William Schiff smiled and continued: "Rank, we have a first-mover advantage in politics. Mr. Richard Bruce Cheney, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate, is our ally. ”
