There was disagreement within the Special Board Committee, with some arguing that Kravis's offer was not low and that it was a well-rounded package.

First Bank of Boston was not well prepared because it hurriedly joined the auction halfway, and even gave an estimate of the quote.

Many elite advisors believe that the final offer will be about $112, and with the ingenious and difficult implementation of the financial and tax plan, there is no significant advantage over KKR.

In short, a small amount of money, but reliable and secure; A lot of money, but a bit unreliable.

As for the management team represented by Johnson, what needs to be considered now is how to get him to accept the reality honestly and cooperate with the acquirer to complete the transaction smoothly.

"Who are you leaning towards, Hugo?"

"KKR, so far." Hall didn't hesitate to answer.

As everyone analyzed, this round of bidding for First Bank of Boston and KKR was evenly matched, and both barely met his psychological expectations. In this case, he instinctively tends to follow the original historical trajectory. If the deal is cut off by Boston First Bank, then KKR's huge cash flow will have nowhere to go.

You must know that KKR is an M&A giant, and billions of cash flow in their hands will be like an amplifier, multiplied by several times to affect the market.

Hall is not ready to face a market that is unpredictable due to the butterflies, or hopefully to delay the occurrence of such a situation.

"There's another round of bidding, isn't it? We deserve to see a formal bid for First Boston, and we need to give Johnson another chance." He added.

Martin Davis nodded, "Time, we have to hurry."

"Half a month, bidding at the end of August. First Boston's tax rate cut-off date is December 31 of this year, so even if you choose them, it's just in time."

"In fact, the biggest concern for choosing them is time, the M&A process is never smooth sailing, and Johnson will definitely turn into a-stirring stick when he learns that the tax rate policy." Hall laughed, "If the gentlemen are willing to graciously pay me a bonus, I can try to get him."

William Anderson reminded, "Mr. Lord, you've taken $50 million out of the pockets of your shareholders as an M&A consultant, and that's your job."

"I gave up the bid last time...... Three...... Uh, twenty million cost. I thought the salary was compensation, and the bonus was the reward." Hall shrugged his shoulders and sighed secretly in his heart: he was still too young, and he was obviously a little unable to open his eyes and talk nonsense in front of these old men.

However, he has the right to ask shareholders for compensation.

How many mergers and acquisitions want to kill him, and how much shareholders want him to continue to toss. There is no good thing in the world that just makes money and does not pay, and if you don't give enough benefits, why should he work hard.

"Are you 100% sure? He's greedy, and we can just get him with money." Charles Hugel's implication is that we need to consider the cost performance.

Hall raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry, no one knows a-stirring stick better than me, and how to get a-stirring stick, there won't be any accidents."

"Very good, 30 million dollars, at most, this money is privately funded by the Special Board Committee." Charles Hugel has a non-dual attitude. ….

"As you wish! The Board of Directors is admirable for its dedication and dedication to serving the shareholders collectively."

Hall was content to lead the team to leave the Reynolds headquarters first, and then notify several mergers and acquisitions to postpone the bidding again is something that Martin Davis and several old men have to consider, and he has enough eyes to see by now. Single-handedly, he has repeatedly changed the M&A landscape.

I believe that everything that happened today will be transmitted back to Wall Street in a short time, and I hope that Mr. Stock God and Mr. Mellon will receive the news as soon as possible......

"Boss, are you listening?"

Back at the hotel, Hall heard a soft female voice in his ear and asked, "Where did you just go?"

"Mr. Herbert must immediately return to New York and personally respond to the investigation of the New York prosecutors. So he suggested that the next trip in Atlanta would be best to keep a low profile." Yellow skin

The young girl reported in fluent English.

Hall tilted his head to look at Brandon beside her.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with today's bidding?" Brandon asked.

Hall hooked the corners of his mouth, "I'm wondering why the old men I've been dealing with lately are all from the 30s."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, help me Johnson have dinner, and by the way, ask Herbert to come over before he leaves, I'll inquire about something." Hall didn't explain.

Warren Buffett was born in the 1930s, Herbert, Mellon, Martin Davis, and many other old men were almost all born around 1930. These sixty-year-old men held the power, and by the time he was full-fledged, the old men were almost withering.

Then, Wall Street's old-school bankers fell into disarray, like the English aristocracy today.

The California financial circle and the Boston financial circle, which have risen with venture capital and the Internet...... has successively challenged the status of Wall Street, and the two founders of Google have pressed Wall Street to the ground and rubbed it......

Hall doesn't know whether to say that this is a negative foresight of foresight, or that he is destined to jump into the big pit of the dividend tail one after another, will he shout another slogan in the future - to recast the glory of Wall Street?

Suppressing nonsensical thoughts, he said in Chinese, "Your name is Cheng ...... Morning?"

"Yes, you can call me Nancy." The yellow-skinned girl, who stood quietly in the corner of the room, took a few steps forward.

Hale looked at her seriously for a few seconds, "I've seen your files, the original one."

The girl fell silent. After a moment, he pursed his lips, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being honest, it's ...... It was a kind of protection from my family, and they were very worried that I would go across the ocean to study alone......

"Needless to say, I don't care who you really are, but can you guarantee that you can be trusted? Your colleagues in the company and the teachers at the school have a high opinion of you, and Brandon recommended you to be my office assistant. Hall looked at her, "Unfortunately, I'm going to have to think about it carefully, you might have to start from scratch."

When he was studying abroad in his previous life, he often heard the story of some international students going incognito, so he recruited Chinese interns some time ago, and his curiosity drove him to ask the embassy to help mobilize the files.

Now I am studying at Columbia University at my own expense, with a master's degree in finance, a woman, and I don't know Cantonese......

With these elements, it is reasonable.

"I think I can be trusted, first of all, from the fact that the company is not going to enter the Asian region in the short term. Secondly, to be objective...... I don't want to talk about my family, but maybe that's not what you think. If it's a secret, you can't easily find it, can you?" Cheng Chen switched back to English.

"Bastard?" Hall knew in his heart, and there was no gossip on the surface: "Of course, family offices will not enter Asia for the next 20 years."

I'm mortal
