"Watts? Dear Mr. DuPont, are you serious? As the CEO of the National City Bank, Ottem owns five thousandths of the bank's non-saleable dividend shares, plus he has worked hard in the National City Bank step by step all his life, and he also has a fanatical love for the bank.

Unfortunately, things are not as expected, in the land of the United States, it does not mean that a company has a perfect system, the future will be able to develop well, these are just a company must have to develop and grow, the most important thing is that the company must have its own unique technology, enough to be in thousands or even tens of thousands of banks to draw out of technology and capital, and this is the key to the lack of national city bank.

As one of the five major financial centers of the United States, Chicago is also the third most populous city in the whole country, with unimaginable economic development advantages, it is not only a tourist city, but also adjacent to the manufacturing center of the Great Lakes, with nearly 300 banks and more than a dozen insurance companies in its heyday, and is the world's largest futures investment center, but the world is impermanent, in the decline of the manufacturing industry in the whole country, the financial industry and the insurance industry have collapsed a large number of today, Chicago has also fallen into a certain chaos.

Due to the existence of a large number of stable and high-quality enterprises in the local area, the National City Bank once made a large number of almost crazy investments and loans to the manufacturing center of the Great Lakes, the steel industry and the real estate loan business, as well as the financial and insurance industry, which also caused the seemingly indestructible National City Bank to not even have the power to parry when the crisis that swept the entire industry came, which is also the most fundamental reason for the excitement of Aodem, in the past three years, No one wants to invest in a large all-meter bank with tens of millions of customers but losing more than billions of dollars year after year.

"Of course it's true." Miller, who holds almost all the liquidity of the entire DuPont Group, is very confident, otherwise he would not choose to visit the National City Bank directly, he needs to play a time difference, before the Wall Street bigwigs have not reacted, the first to buy the bank, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for him, because DuPont Group cannot complete a normal acquisition under the prying eyes of many competitors, no one wants to see two fat sheep out of the predicament at the same time, yes, maybe in the eyes of financial predators, DuPont, which lacks access to finance and does not have its own independent financial institution, is also a potential target.

For a moment, Autumnm felt that happiness had come too quickly and unimaginable, and he exaggerated his expression of surprise, "Oh my God, this is unbelievable, please forgive me for my gaffe, so how much is the DuPont consortium willing to pay for how many shares?" ”

He can't help but be in a hurry, because as a national city bank with a perfect system, it is also listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, at its peak, the bank's stock price is enough to make people daunting, but in the financial crisis, the increasingly loss-making bank is simply desperate, the stock price is almost plummeting, as the president of a commercial bank, Oldem certainly has a very strong investment quality.

In his view, although the National City Bank has a lot of bad debts, and most of the non-performing assets are in a dead cycle, facing a large number of risks of default, but it is impossible to ignore the National City Bank City is one of the top ten banks in the whole country, because of the full confidence in this 17 million high-quality and stable old customers, and believe that the Wall Street group of financial predators will not give up the peep at the National City Bank, coupled with the most dangerous stage of the financial crisis, the United States abandoned the policy of large financial institutions bankruptcy, In the second half of the 11th year, Oldm bought shares of banks that he thought were in a valley at the time, but history told him that this was a huge pit that was enough to kill people.

In the past five years, these shares that were once worthless in the eyes of outsiders have fallen to the bottom one after another, and there is no hope of solving them. Because the stock price of a single share of 2.11 meters of gold or even 1.5 meters of gold is a cabbage, which makes him not hesitate to use all his former worth to buy shares of his own bank, and even borrow money to buy in other familiar financial institutions, this move allows him to have 1.2% of the current shares of commercial banks, that is, 0.5% of the company's total shares, in other words, if the bank comes out of the predicament and returns to the position that once belonged to it, then these stocks are worth hundreds of millions of meters of gold, but his bottom-buying has put himself in a desperate situation, so that almost all the wages can only be used as a guarantee to repay debts.

At this moment, seeing that the DuPont consortium was willing to buy it, he was willing to raise his hands from the bottom of his heart, and the group of banks behind him who held a large number of shares agitated, and he was eager to immediately sell the bank shares in his hands, which were almost waste paper, because it was completely useless to put them in his own hands.

"Take the shares in your hands as an example, we are willing to pay 30 million meters of gold." Miller Dupont, who has a lot of money in his hands, said without hesitation, because whether it is the DuPont consortium behind him or the L Club secretly hidden in the back, they are eager to have a perfect big bank in the United States, which can play a huge role in the next thing, so as soon as he made a move, he shouted out a sky-high price in the eyes of outsiders.

"Oh my God, 30 million meters of gold?" Even the prepared Ottem was taken aback by this price, because now in the market, the stock price of this bank has historically fallen by more than one meter of gold, that is, more than 40% of the total shares of the bank circulating in the market are cabbage, and the total cost of the 0.5% shares in his hand is only more than 10 million, in other words, the DuPont consortium is willing to use twice the premium to complete the acquisition, as Ottem, he agrees from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, he was also excited about the determination of the DuPont consortium, because the more this happened, the more it proved the sincerity of the other party, but he soon refused, because the deeper the sincerity of the DuPont consortium, the greater the benefits that will be obtained in the future, he shook his head decisively, "No, I think, we have greater prospects for cooperation, and I will not give up a whole forest for the sake of this little profit at the moment." ”

"What do you want?" Miller was not worried, because the DuPont consortium had no foundation in the financial world at the moment, and they tried to break through the oppression and restrictions of other consortiums on the DuPont consortium countless times, but unfortunately they all failed, so he did not refuse the coercion of the inconspicuous little man in front of him, because in their plan, they themselves had a plan to continue to use Autumn.

"My stake is not worth more than that, if you don't mind, Mr. Miller, I can lobby the indecisive shareholders as a DuPont to buy their stake at a relatively low price, and in return I will need to continue in a senior position in the new bank, and I will need to preserve the value of my stake in a short time." Of course, Oldem is not willing to work for others forever and earn a thin wage, all he wants is money and status, a ticket to the rich class, and DuPont is the best guide.

"Huh?" Miller lowered his head and pretended to think, maybe he was weighing the benefits of this matter for them, Oldem saw this, and suddenly shouted in his heart, he thought that his greed had angered the big man in front of him, but he was helpless, because this is the sorrow of the little man, his own fate can not be controlled by himself, if the other party bypasses his own forcible acquisition, then there is no reason to block the shares in his hand at all, and after the other party completely starts, according to the law of the United States at this moment, even if the bank is delisted, it is completely possible, When the time comes, a bunch of shares that cannot be traded will be completely rotten in their own hands.

Because the DuPont consortium does not have any foundation in the financial and banking world, in other words, the fate of this bank completely depends on the DuPont consortium's positioning after the acquisition, if it is only the private fundraising channel of the DuPont consortium, then the national city bank will completely lose the future of development, then this part of the shares will have no circulating value at all, because in a company, the majority shareholder is the one who decides the fate of the company, and they have no room for resistance.

"Maybe that's my fate, I shouldn't have bought a lot of stocks early in the morning that couldn't be cashed out." The dejected Oldem finally bowed his head, because he himself felt that his imagination was too good, but he couldn't accept the fate of failure, it was too terrible.

"Okay, I think I accepted your offer and signed this, and you are our secret spokesperson." As everyone knows, Miller was only weighing his feasibility as one of the lobbyists of the DuPont consortium, but these were all pre-planned things, and he only thought about it for a while before confirming that perhaps a professional who was fully familiar with the inside of the bank would have an easier stake in the bank than a layman like him.

"What is this?" Ottem looked at the entrustment agreement in front of him, which clearly stated the responsibilities and obligations between the two parties, he knew that once he chose to sign, then he chose to completely integrate into the DuPont system, if he betrayed, the heavy and suffocating costs and consequences were enough to make him irreversible, but once he succeeded, the benefits he obtained were also obvious, which was also the price that the DuPont consortium had to pay for entering the banking industry rashly.

"I'll sign it." Without the slightest hesitation, Oldem immediately signed his name on this document, not because he didn't want to be reserved, or to delay, because both sides clearly knew their current situation, and no one had time to continue to delay.

The DuPont consortium doesn't want to show the news, so at this time, even if they own as many as six investment institutions that they secretly control and control 18% of the outstanding shares of the National City Bank, even if they hold the huge capital flow of up to 12 billion meters that the entire consortium has worked hard to raise, even if they have no potential competitors, once this matter is known to Wall Street, then the swarming opponents will instantly overwhelm them.

At that time, the stock price will be crazy high, and they will be crazy to block, because everyone knows that the DuPont consortium, which lacks financial institutions and is the most disadvantaged in the United States consortium, will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity, and this seems to be the only opportunity for the DuPont family.

If it does not find a strong partner or a new major shareholder, then once the heavy debt risk erupts, it will be the interests of all shareholders that will be blown up.

"Very well, you have made the best choice for both parties, if all goes well, you will see your new appointment and share award from the board of directors in a month, and now, what you need to do is to contact all the shareholders on the list and get them in the shortest possible time, but remember, hide underwater, be sure not to reveal our intentions, time is enough, we have patience, as long as we don't expose it." Miller's advice made Oldem understand the other party's plan in an instant, and everyone understands the current situation of the National City Bank.

If there is a takeover company now, then all shareholders don't care, because they only care about whether their corporate shares can be sold at a good price, of course, there are also people who want to take the opportunity to make high profits, but these people, some are means to torture them, after all, not everyone can see through the future, and even just one sentence can make these people smoothly lower their heads, that is, delisted!

Once the stock market is not liquid, the financial market will not be able to supervise and analyze everything about the company, even if there are internal shareholders to share intelligence information, they will not act rashly, and the bank's next plan will also make these investment institutions undecided, in other words, as long as the bank's major shareholders do not want to let the bank expand in investment and other aspects, so that the bank loses most of the profit points, then all investors will not be satisfied, let alone buy shares.

……

"NO, I won't sell these shares, damn it, you are a group of robbers, my shares were originally worth 2 billion meters of gold, and you only gave me 150 million meters of gold." McCarthy, the majority shareholder of the Chicago Financial Center Insurance Investment Management Fund, which owns 2.48 percent of the commercial bank, roared loudly, but his words were full of weakness.

"That's just once." Autumn's face didn't fluctuate in the slightest, and he was even used to it.

"Damn, even if these shares rot in my hands, I won't sell them to you." In another time, McCarthy may choose to have a good talk, because the 2.48% stake in the hands of the insurance investment management fund is worthless at this time, but who made him want more? (To be continued.) )
