407 47.5 percent

Although the plan is progressing steadily, Miller is a little unsteady in his heart, without him, because he has the support of the intelligence collection and analysis agency secretly in the DuPont consortium, and there is a whole family staring at him behind him, whether it is the details that may be exposed in the acquisition process or the competitors in the family who want to block, it is possible to provoke a powerful enemy.

"We must hurry up, we must seize more than half of the shares of this bank before those financial predators react, only in this way can we hold the initiative." Although he hopes that even if he is discovered in a short time, his opponent may not be able to react in time, but Miller still does not dare to take it lightly, because now is the most critical moment.

Because the entire National City Bank has a total of 40.8 percent of the total shares in circulation on the stock market, this part of the shares worth 30 billion meters at its peak is relatively easy to acquire, and the price is not expensive. According to the market fluctuations in the past two days, it is still not more than 1.5-1.7 meters of gold price, he can still easily invest a lot of money to continue to absorb, but because of this, competitors can continue to set up high obstacles to grab share, through the market changes in the past two days, I believe that some people have been operating in the market.

However, Miller is not very worried in this regard, because this part of the stock is very dispersed, and it does not play an absolute role, after all, as long as the stock exceeds the absolute majority, he can apply for a large number of shares in the market to buy back a large number of his own shares, and even complete the privatization and delisting is not impossible, and he has raised a considerable part of the retail shares in the market, has reached the current stage of market saturation, and if you want to start on a large scale, you may not be able to buy much.

"Don't worry, those people on Wall Street only accept money, as long as we offer a starting price, we will definitely be able to stay in the bank smoothly." ”

He now values the value of this part of the stock more than anyone else, God knows how far the price can soar after the market reacts, and it is exciting to think about it, once the shortcomings of a consortium that has never mastered its own financial financing system are made up, the cascading effect caused by it can even make the National City Bank be wildly sought after in the financial market, but DuPont is also a big consortium, isn't it?

"NO~ I am quietly doing it secretly because I am worried about the vampires on Wall Street, and if they find out, then blocking and war are imperative." Miller said worriedly, with a faint uneasiness in his heart, not only about the current situation, but also about the future, even if the DuPont consortium finally paid a certain price to win the National City Bank. It is foreseeable that Morgan, who is preventing the resurgence of the DuPont consortium, will watch it?

According to Murphy's Law, if something starts well, it doesn't necessarily end well, not to mention that even at the critical moment when you can win with one kick, Miller still feels a little uneasy in her heart, then things will definitely have a more surprising outcome.

……

"Sir, the Chicago Banking Association refuses to sell the 3.4 percent stake they hold!"

"Sir, the Chicago State Education Fund refuses to sell the one hundred and seven percent stake in their hands."

"The California Financial Investment Agency rejected our offer."

By the time the bad news reached the National City Bank, Miller and Oldem were on the move, and it seemed that a wave had spread across the country.

"How so? Can't we afford it? Tell them to increase the price and smash it with money, as long as they are willing to sell their shares. Miller is no longer concerned about the economy at this time, he is in a hurry, because time is running out, if the Wall Street predators come to their senses, then the plan against the DuPont consortium is imminent.

"But sir, we have lobbied the institutions in every possible way to get them to sell their shares at a high price, but none of them will agree, they are all on the sidelines, and secretly seem to have reached an offensive and defensive alliance." The executives who had been brought out of the DuPont consortium were sweating profusely and anxiously explaining.

The situation can be seen clearly even by Ottem, nearly two-thirds of the shares of the National City Bank are held in the hands of small investment institutions and individuals, although they have repurchased nearly half, but still not more than the absolute majority, but the remaining one-third is in the hands of large investment institutions led by Wall Street predators, but this part of the people, Miller seems to be very jealous of them, not only has no intention of acquiring, but also has no contact, which seems to let him see something.

"Why don't we try to buy up the big shares in the 10-percent-point range from Global Funds and State Street Funds?" He tried to make a final struggle, but unfortunately after listening to it, Miller just shook his head silently, and just when he thought that the other party was trying to explain the inside story, he heard the executives from the DuPont consortium smile bitterly,

"They won't allow the DuPont consortium to walk on two feet."

This may be a well-known proverb, or it may just be a prison sentence for self-venting, but who cares? I am afraid that this is also a problem that the DuPont consortium did not consider at its peak in the forties and fifties of the 20th century, but today it has become a major event that restricts the continued development of the entire consortium and even matters to life and death.

"State Street is behind Morgan, Universal is behind Rockefeller, and several other large investment funds such as BlackRock, United States, Schroder, Franklin, etc., hold a total of 30% of the shares of National City Bank, which I was originally going to submit for privatization and delisting repurchase after completing the overwhelming majority of acquisitions, but unfortunately this may not be done now." Miller said with great regret, and there was even a hint of despair on his face, because if those people had made a move, then things would have been very bad.

"No, we still have a chance, based on the forty-three percent of the shares we now have, if Duncan Financial Investments gets more than seven percent of the shares, then we will win." Oldem said as if comforting himself, but the confidence on his own face was not enough to suppress the fear, God knows how much the other party had acquired, if not more than fifty percent?

"Yes, I haven't lost yet, and if we can take in some of the outstanding shares before they affect the stock market, then the outcome is not certain." Miller is by no means a person who retreats when encountering difficulties, no matter how bad he is, he still has the ability to fight to the death, although the big investors have formed an alliance to a certain extent, but the retail investors are not necessarily.

But the circulation of the market is fair after all, even if Miller can react in time to focus directly on the stock market, but unfortunately in the ever-changing market, anything can happen, after the continuous sudden appearance of high-priced buy orders, according to the principle of the highest market price, Miller, who has always thought that things are safe, instantly fell on his head, because adhering to his will, according to the affordable purchase of stocks DuPont Consortium traders suddenly found that their prices were completely lower than the market's expectations.

In just two hours this morning, the outstanding shares of National City Bank soared from 1.57 meters of gold per share to 3.82 meters of gold per share, and the rise was so fierce that the entire market was stunned, and the direct price was that DuPont did not even acquire more than one million shares of outstanding shares today, which was very different from the expected result.

You must know that in the circulation market, there is a great deal of uncertainty, one is that there are too many retail investors who hold stocks, and the amount itself is limited, before they were crazy in the market to buy the reason why they can succeed, that is because the shares of the National City Bank are worthless, and rotten in their hands, it is not better to abandon it, in this kind of no competitors, played a beautiful time difference, Miller can successfully start a large amount of stocks, but now, competitors have appeared, and retail investors are not stupid, Under the perfect financial supervision procedures of the United States, if a company's stock fluctuates violently, then the remaining investors can only do one thing, that is, wait and see, as long as the good news does not stop, then these people will definitely cover the stocks in their hands and not sell.

And even if they make a move, it will not be the turn of the DuPont consortium to buy it, because secretly, the Chicago Financial Exchange, which is controlled by a consortium that started in the steel industry, has received instructions, borrowing the short gap between the input information and the real-time information, artificial intervention and shady scenes have shrouded the head of the DuPont consortium, but on the bright side, it is very fair, isn't it?

"Those raised by biaozi, I have ordered to buy stocks at all costs, but every time it is a little bit worse, there are definitely ghosts in it." Miller looked at the bad news that kept coming, and yelled in a bit of anger.

Things have come to this point, anyone can see that the unknown enemy has already moved, after all, it involves the critical moment when the DuPont consortium is about to take over its first large financial institution, but the biggest joke is that the shares of the National City Bank are sold in the financial market, and the DuPont consortium that wants to control it can't buy the stocks that are on the doorstep.

"But sir, we can't take any legal revenge on them." Ottem, who is accustomed to seeing ups and downs, said very embarrassedly, after all, everyone knows this kind of thing, those who control the financial center, they don't even need to explain, they can block the mouths of all opponents, the one with the highest price wins, the one with the highest price is of course the institution they control, but who made you shout the price low, the most strange thing is that after a clever time difference, no matter what price Miller shouts, it can't be worth a group of people who are bound to master the rules.

"If you contact Duncan Financial Investments, it's best to expect that they already have more than seven percent of the shares in their hands, and in that case, we'll win." After Miller vented, he had to admit that he really couldn't crack this hand, because even if he risked tearing his face and being retaliated by crazy revenge to raise the stock price unlimitedly, he couldn't get what he wanted, and he could only hope that the shares in the hands of Duncan Investment Institutions could reach seven percent.

"Sir, Mr. Rohm from Duncan Investment is here, and he said that he has an urgent situation that needs to be reported to you in person." Unfortunately, before the subordinates who received the order left the large conference room, the voice of the assistant at the door rang out.

Miller was stunned, why did he come in person? But then he waved his hand solemnly, "Let him in." ”

"Hi ~ Miller, how's it going? Did it work? Rohm didn't know what was going on, but it seemed to be the time to open the champagne to celebrate, but when he saw Miller's stinky face, he understood everything, and even before Miller opened his mouth, he said directly, "Don't put your hopes on us, Duncan Investments is only a small company, we don't have the connections to do it, and we only bought 4.5 percent of the shares." ”

"Hell!" Miller's eyes suddenly dimmed, he currently has forty-three percent of the shares in his hands, plus 4.5 percent in Rohm's hands, together it is only 47.5 percent, which is still a certain gap from the absolute majority, especially at such a critical time, these gaps are enough to be fatal.

"Mr. Miller, your call, the people of the Chicago Exchange Center Investigation Committee, they believe that the DuPont consortium must provide an answer to the unusual acquisition of shares in National City Bank by 14 o'clock this afternoon." According to the regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, any company that attempts to initiate the acquisition of a listed group must report once the acquisition share exceeds the limit, but fortunately, Miller is a small decentralized acquisition initiated by dozens of financial institutions, but the worst thing is that if you don't get these shares in a hurry, there will definitely be an accident.

"Oops, we're running out of time, and if we can't get enough of the shares before 14, we'll be left with enough time for our opponents to crack our takeover attempt once it's investigated." Miller was struck at once, as if a Skynet had taken shape in front of him, and he had considered this situation before, but that was before the DuPont consortium already had an absolute majority of the shares, not this half-dead situation.

Logically speaking, controlling 47.5 percent of a company's shares is enough, but don't you see that many listed companies actually control only a few more than 10 percent of the shares? But who made the DuPont consortium the only group in the country that does not have self-financing channels, if there is no absolute majority, I believe those competitors will rush to pounce.
