Jamie Dimon thought it was ridiculous, so ridiculous that he didn't even get angry.

"Mr. Bellakfen, you have a lot of humor since you came to California, and you have made a good joke. Jamie Dimon laughed.

Bellankefen waited for Jamie Dimon to finish laughing, "It's not a joke. ”

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Jamie Damon's mouth: "Then I can only think that you have no sincerity in negotiating, and these conditions can reply to you now, impossible." If it's not a joke, I think, it only shows that you have no good faith in negotiating, and that the Travelers Group will suspend the negotiations and use any means possible to acquire Salomon Brothers. ”

In the face of Jamie Dimon's threat, Frank Fen was unmoved: "Mr. Damon, Tinder Source is very serious about putting forward the proposal just now, as the largest shareholder and board member of Salomon Brothers, we must be responsible for all shareholders of Solomon Brothers." At the same time, I think it's a fair offer. ”

Jamie Damon had a spur of the alarm, and as a super-first-class financier, he could naturally realize that Tinder's attitude was unusual, and there must be a reason for this.

Jamie Dimon still had a sarcastic look: "You have wasted my time for a week, and the negotiation with Tinder is out of respect, respect that you are the largest shareholder of Salomon Brothers, but respect is mutual, since Tinder cannot give the same respect to the Traveler Group, this negotiation is meaningless, goodbye." ”

Bellankeffin called out to Jamie Damon: "Jamie, if I were you, I would report this proposal to Sandy as soon as possible, this is a friendly suggestion." ”

Jamie Dimon angrily left the office building of Tinder, and as soon as he went out, he regained his composure.

The top priority is to first investigate the reasons behind such a tough Tinder Source, and secondly, it is necessary to launch a plan to suppress the stock price of Solomon Brothers on the stock market, and within two days, let the stock price of Solomon Brothers fall by about 5% to deter Tinder. At the same time, they communicated with Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch to test the pressure on Tinder, and they provided $800 million in financing for Tinder, and if they threatened Tinder to withdraw the loan, Tinder would have to be forced to agree to the Traveler Group's proposal.

Causing the stock price of an investment bank with a market value of nearly $10 billion to fall by more than 10% in two days is too risky, easy to attract investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and the cost is too high.

But in two days, through the short sale of Salomon Brothers, the stock price fell slightly, and Jamie Dimon was still sure.

A day later, under the operation of Jamie Dimon, Salomon Brothers' stock price fell 3.5% to close at $3.16, some stock critics analyzed, it may be that the profit performance of the previous fiscal year was not good, and Salomon Brothers is very likely to enter the downward channel again, but this speculation was denied by Salomon Brothers' CEO Harry Levinson on the same day.

At a time when speculation was rife in the financial community about the reasons behind the decline in Salomon Brothers' stock, Tinder made a high-profile announcement on the West Coast that it would continue to absorb Salomon Brothers' shares in the open market, and before the market closed, it acquired 5 million shares from the open market for less than $16 million.

Jamie Dimon was amazed, where did the source of the spark come from such a bold amount, but if it continued to short, the price paid by the Travelers Group would be too heavy.

Immediately afterwards, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch also rejected Jamie Dimon's request at the same time, in their opinion, the money currently lent to Tinder can give them eight million dollars in interest income every month, and there is almost no risk, and it is not in their interest to recover the loan at this time.

Jamie Dimon knew that this was all a pretext.

The Tinder Source must have dealt with some of the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, and maybe there will be a certain exchange of interests behind it, otherwise with the current status of the Traveler Group, these two companies will not offend the Traveler Group controlled by Sandywell because of a small Tinder Source.

In addition to this, Jamie Dimon has a strange feeling that all his reactions are expected by the other party, and the other party knows what his hole cards are from the beginning.

This feeling made Jamie Damon extremely uncomfortable, as if he was blocked in his trachea in one breath, and he couldn't go up or down, and he choked uncomfortably.

For a moment, Jamie Dimon was in a dilemma.

Zhang Chen was not embarrassed, and even went to San Jose with Su Zhuorui to watch two Golden State Warriors games in the past few days.

This season, due to the renovation of the Warriors' stadium in Oakland, they temporarily moved their home court from Oakland to San Jose, and Zhang Chen and Su Zhuorui drove only more than 30 kilometers away, which is very close.

The current Warriors, a pure miscellaneous fish, basically can't make the playoffs, more than half of the season, losing almost 40 games in 50 games, and the situation is extremely difficult.

"Sister Su, someone on Ebay auctioned Wednesday Lakers VS Bulls game tickets, two, are you going?" Zhang Chen shouted Su Zhuorui, who was washing his hands in the living room.

Su Zhuorui pasted cucumber slices all over her face, "I can't go, I'm going to take those two nerds to change the company's name on Wednesday." The shareholder structure should also be adjusted, by the way, remember to give me your green card, and you will use it when the time comes. ”

Zhang Chen first sighed, and then said, "What did the name change?"

Su Zhuorui thought for a while: "These two people have given the company a new name, what is it called googol, saying that this is the meaning of ten to the tenth power, anyway, let's just say that this number is very large." ”

Zhang Chen corrected: "It's ten to the hundredth power." ”

Su Zhuorui was absent-minded, "Oh, that's what it means anyway." ”

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment: "Hehe, these two people are starting to have ambitions, not bad." ”

Su Zhuorui said lazily: "Not bad fart, these two stupid boys used to tremble when they saw the old lady, and they couldn't say anything." It's good now, three days and two ends pestered me to let me, the company changes them to go by themselves, if you have to let me go, it's annoying. ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "I think that Larry is a little interesting to you these days?

Su Zhuorui shook his head violently, and threw off a few slices of cucumbers on his face, "Forget it, just his small physique, it's not enough to stir-fry dishes, besides, I don't like him like that." ”

Zhang Chen said hesitantly: "He's not short, right? taller than me, besides, you don't like him like that, what do you like?"

Su Zhuorui's eyes were full of longing: "Tom Cruise is handsome." ”

Zhang Chen said leisurely: "Good luck, he should be about the same height as you when he wears high heels." ”

Su Zhuorui angrily threw a piece of cucumber slices on his face at Zhang Chen, "Get out!"

Zhang Chen said meaningfully: "Now that people are chasing you, if you ignore it, maybe you will regret it in a few years." ”

Su Zhuorui went to the bathroom to wash his face, "What if he can become a billionaire in the future? How many men don't change wives after they are rich? Instead of investing in potential stocks, I might as well find a rich one now." ”

Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up, "Think about it, cow." ”
