Chapter 751 The Great Change of Merrill Lynch (Part 2)
…
“I know Merrill Lynch’s golden parachute plan. Since I decide to acquire it, I will implement it according to the contract. So O’Neal, you will get your pension.” Guo Shouyun smiled.
Although the golden parachute plan will make him suffer a certain loss, but in fact the money is borne by the finance of Merrill Lynch, if according to the shareholding, he actually only loses less than half. The remaining half is naturally borne by other shareholders of Merrill Lynch.
After staring at him, Stan O’Neal took a deep breath. As the chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch, O’Neal’s psychological quality is naturally far superior to ordinary people. Although this fight for Merrill Lynch’s control has failed, he has not completely lost his composure.
“Bruce, I hope you won’t regret it!”
“I never regret it!” Guo Shouyun said indifferently.
Glancing at him one last time, Stan O’Neal turned sharply and strode out of the conference room.
“Mr. Fakahani, you should leave too!”
The chief financial officer is the company’s big housekeeper, second only to the CEO in importance. Guo Shouyun will not give this position to someone he doesn’t trust.
“You won’t be complacent for long!”
“It’s my business, don’t worry about Mr. Raufakahani!”
After a cold snort, Ahmes Fakahani, like Stan O’Neill, left with his last stubbornness.
In the blink of an eye, the two core giants of the company’s management were swept out of the house, which shocked the directors of Merrill Lynch present so much that they still haven’t come back to think about it all.
Of course, there is no need to think about it, because Guo Shouyun, who has absolute control, has already mastered everything about Merrill Lynch.
“Okay, everyone, let’s elect the chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch!”
Guo Shouyun smiled and walked to the seat that originally belonged to Stan O’Neal and sat down.
MMP, you already have the controlling power, so choose a fart!
Of course, it’s good to think about this in your heart. No one who wants to keep this job dares to say it.
Of course, it goes without saying that 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 changed hands, Wall Street changed dramatically!”
“Bruce Guo, the new owner of Merrill Lynch!”
“Merrill Lynch has been hostilely acquired!”
“boom…!”
The clenched fist slammed on the stack of newspapers, and even though it had a shock-absorbing effect, it still caused a huge shock in the entire conference room. Moreover, the strength of the master’s fist can be seen from the faintly blue knuckles, and his anger at the moment can also be seen.
“O’Neal, calm down!”
“Calm down! I already said that I should start early, you have to wait. Now, Merrill has fallen into the hands of Bruce Guo! Damn, why should I cooperate with you guys, you guys What is the use!”
The tall Stan O’Neal looks like an enraged lion at this time! His roar shook the entire conference room.
Jon Winkreed, president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, who was sprayed in his face, was also angry. But more is the shock and sorrow brought by the sudden change of Merrill Lynch.
“O’Neal, Merrill’s change is a foregone conclusion. No matter how angry you are now, it won’t help. And rather than pointless emotional catharsis, how to reverse the current situation that is not good for us is what we should be most concerned about!” Jon Wincred Road.
Stan O’Neal, who had vented 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 getting Merrill back!”
Feeling the coldness exuding from his whole body, Jon Winkreed, who made a fortune short of LinkedIn, was re-entered into the ice cellar by Merrill’s accident before he could enjoy the joy of victory.
“Everyone, you all know. 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 it is mastered by Bruce Guo, plus On Phoenix Bank, Global Fortune Network, and the CW TV station of the matrix, our advantage in public opinion will be greatly weakened.”
“Don’t forget Bloomberg News, Merrill owns 20% of its shares! Michael Bloomberg will be subject to Bruce Guo as long as he doesn’t want to lose his property!” Stan O’Neal reminded coldly.
The influence of Bloomberg News in the financial world is well known to everyone. As one of the world’s three largest financial consulting companies, standing alongside Reuters and Thomson Group, its clients are all over the world, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, and other U.S. official institutions. and major central banks around the world.
If Bloomberg News switches to Guo’s camp, then they will try to influence public opinion, and then the possibility of grasping the rise and fall of oil and gold futures will be greatly reduced. If they can’t let oil and gold futures fall and lock up the money that Bruce Guo has invested in them, then their plans after that will be meaningless.
“…So, Bruce Guo must never get Merrill!” Jon Winkreed said solemnly after nodding.
“The key is that Bruce Guo has obtained the absolute control of Merrill Lynch, and his acquisition does not violate the constitution!” Citi Vice Chairman Steven Walker said.
“Although Bruce Guo’s actions are not against the Constitution, we can stop him from controlling Merrill Lynch in the name of a monopoly!” William Schiff laughed ~www.readwn.com~ Monopoly? ”
Everyone was surprised.
“That’s right! Phoenix Bank, controlled by Bruce Guo, is now the fourth largest bank in the United States after Citi, Bank of America and MG Chase, with 37.2 million customers and $700 billion in total assets. Merrill Lynch is second only to Morgan Stanley, the world’s second largest investment bank, has custodial assets of US$175 million. We lobbied both the Senate and the House of Representatives on the grounds that “individuals hold too many large financial institutions in the country and are suspected of monopolizing and interfering with fairness in the financial sector.” Get Bruce Guo out of Merrill Lynch through political power!”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
Business skills are not good and there is politics. Although they were caught off guard by Bruce Guo, they did not completely fail.
Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, William Schiff continued with a smile: “Everyone, we have a first-mover advantage in politics. Mr. Richard Bruce Cheney, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate, is ours. ally.”
