Chapter 520: Rather mess with Satan, don't mess with you
The Boston consortium's interest in Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Trust has spread in some very small circles.
After World War II, the Boston Consortium began to decline, so they were preparing to reorganize the consortium's core bank in the hope of bringing the Boston Consortium back on the road of revival. Next year's acquisition of Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Trust is the prelude to the Boston Consortium's preparation to reorganize the core bank.
The Boston Consortium attaches great importance to the two acquisitions that will be underway next year, and has been preparing for this for more than a year.
Although several consortiums that compete with the Boston Consortium wanted to disrupt these two mergers and acquisitions, the Boston Consortium strictly guarded the situation. Even though several consortiums had received the definite news, they had no idea what to do.
The Cole Smith, who suddenly proposed to attack Hartford German Civil and Arlington Trust, was obviously clear that he wanted to fight the Boston Consortium!
This is undoubtedly great news for the Mellon family and several other consortiums.
Moreover, in terms of the amount of funds currently held by KY Investment Fund, although it is still impossible to compete with the entire Boston Consortium, if it is alone to attack Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Trust, and with several consortiums behind the scenes, then KY Investment Fund will still be very confident in winning these two banks.
The top ten consortiums in the United States are all large consortiums with deep roots and lush leaves. It is extremely difficult to completely defeat such consortiums, so they can only gradually weaken their opponents and slowly kill them by boiling frogs in warm water.
The suggestion made by Cole Smith is obviously a good plan.
The Boston Consortium is just guarding against those large consortiums. They would never have thought that the KY Investment Foundation would make a fuss. If it moves quickly enough, there are still several possibilities for KY Investment Fund to take over these two banks.
"Of course I'm interested in this kind of good thing!" Skeve smiled and held Cole Smith's hand again. The two intentions involving tens of billions of dollars in mergers and acquisitions were reached in such a few simple sentences.
At the next cocktail party, the original atmosphere was restored in the banquet hall. The most annoying Harper Lawrence left, and although Alfred Lowell stayed outside for a while and came back, he was only staying in a corner of the hall with a limited number of people.
Today, the Boston Consortium shot itself in the foot. Although I don’t know why Harper Lawrence suddenly turned into a mad dog and bites who caught and bite him at the Mellons’ cocktail party, no matter what the reason, the Boston Consortium today was a huge loss of face.
The Boston Consortium's dog was beaten to death with a stick. How good is the face of the Boston Consortium, as its owner?
As for the other protagonist in the incident just now, the mysterious tycoon Cole Smith, who used money to kill Harper Lawrence, has been talking to several core figures of the Mellon family. Even in the next few auctions, the hugely rich tycoon did not take action.
Those who want to get to know Cole Smith can only helplessly stop outside the small circle of the Mellon family in this situation.
The party started with the sun set and lasted until late at night before ending.
Yang Jing was sent out by Skeve and Timothy Mellon. These two originally wanted to stay at Mellon Manor, but Yang Jing had to leave on the excuse that there were other important things, so the two core figures of the Mellon family sent Yang Jing out together.
Before parting, Timothy Mellon said sincerely: "Koll, if KY Investment Fund wants to acquire Hartford German Ministries and Arlington Letter next year, our Mellon family will definitely support you."
Yang Jing knew that Timothy was speaking on behalf of the Mellon family, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I also hope to have a deeper cooperation with the Mellon family." As he said, Yang Jing pondered for a moment and continued, "In order to express my determination, you can pay attention to the stock situation of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company the day after tomorrow, which is Monday. Today, Harper and Lawrence did a little too much, so I need to make him sober and let him understand that some places cannot be spoiled and some people cannot be offended easily."
Skeve's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "Cole, you mean..."
"That's right!" Yang Jing nodded with certainty, "The valuation of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance on Monday will drop by at least 30%. If you are willing to make pocket money, you can pay attention to the stocks of this company on Monday. Well, let's talk about this today. It's really a pleasant thing to chat with you."
After saying goodbye to Skeve and Timothy Mellon, Yang Jing got into the Bloomberg car that had been waiting outside. As soon as he got in the car, Yang Jing picked up the car phone in the car and dialed the number in Cesar's room directly.
Sure enough, this guy is not sleeping yet, and he is watching the Bundesliga with Close and Albert on satellite TV.
Yang Jing didn't say nonsense, and said directly: "Cesar, on Monday I allow you to use 500 million to 1 billion US dollars to smash the share price of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. The minimum requirement is that the decline cannot be less than 30%.
"BOSS, which insurance company offended you?" Cesar's slightly excited voice rang out on the other side of the phone. I don't know if it was the Bundesliga team he liked to score, or if it was the news that made him even more excited.
"That's right! So I need that life insurance company to pay a price. Stop talking nonsense, Cesar, can you do that on Monday?"
"Wait a moment, I'll check the fundamentals of this insurance company." After the phone was silent for a while, Cesar's voice rang again, "BOSS, one billion dollars may not be enough. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company is the largest life insurance company in Massachusetts. It has a market value of nearly $40 billion and a market value of outstanding shares is about $26 billion. If you want to spend 30% of the valuation of a company with such a high market value, I need at least $2 billion, and maybe even more. This needs to be judged based on the actual situation. Of course, after smashing the market, we can completely acquire the stocks of this company from the market. After the stock price rises, we can continue to sell the stocks and smash it again. Not only can we make a difference of about 25%, but we can also smash the stocks of this company twice."
"Okay! Then do what you said!" Yang Jing was not a slow man, so he directly allowed Cesar's request.
Compared with David Anderson or Henry Williams, Cesar Cook is more suitable for such operations as smashing or hedging. Moreover, this operation has no technical content, and it just relies on huge amounts of funds to smash the market. As long as the funds are sufficient, it is to smash as much as you want. Cesar likes to do such things that have no technical content but are extremely bloody.
After hanging up the phone, a group of Bloomberg looked at Yang Jing with a look of ghosts. Yang Jing couldn't help but touch his face and asked curiously: "Does there be flowers on my face?"
"There is no flowers on your face!" Bloomberg replied honestly, "But I finally got it today. I would rather provoke Satan than provoke you Cole Smith in the future."
Yang Jing laughed and patted Bloomberg on the shoulder, "If you want to make some extra money on Monday, you have heard what I said just now, just let it go and do it OK."
In the US stock market in the 1980s, a stock fell could also make a lot of money, because in the US stock market in that era, there were also many warrant stocks. Just like the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, which Yang Jing was preparing to deal with, in addition to the outstanding shares, this company also sets up warrant stocks. As long as it is possible to determine that the stock price of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company will fall tomorrow, as long as you buy enough put warrants in the warrant stock, once the stock price of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company falls to that position, then those who hold a large number of put warrants can gain a lot of benefits in it.
This operation method is actually a small futures, which is specifically fixed to a certain stock futures.
Of course, Bloomberg knew the relationship. He had heard Yang Jing's order just now, so he naturally knew that Yang Jing was going to take revenge on Harper Lawrence. What Harper Lawrence did was indeed too much today, but this guy probably didn't expect that Mr. Cole Smith, who was by his side, would have such a rich net worth.
Now that's great, Harper Lawrence was almost killed by Cole at the cocktail party, and he was so embarrassed that he was so cruel that he was under his name. On Monday, the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company under his name would face even more cruel revenge.
In the stock market, no one’s face is easy to use, and the only decisive role is funds! Obviously, the boss of KY Investment Fund sitting beside him is also the largest shareholder of his company, and is a person who is not short of money.
Two billion dollars! Jesus, Satan! If so much money is spent, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company will definitely not be able to afford it. Even if the shareholders of your company repurchase the stocks together, they will have to be able to raise $2 billion in just one day!
Bloomberg could even imagine how the shareholders and ordinary investors would panic after the opening on Monday, when the stock price of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company dived.
But what does that have to do with us? How can I make money if your stock doesn't fall? On Monday, we just need to prepare funds to buy put warrants and it will be OK...
