MTL - Reborn Capital Empire-v2 Chapter 768 turnaround

Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight turns a corner

…

"what happened?"

Looking at the eyes of everyone, Mitch McConnell asked angrily and surprised: "Karl Rove, didn't you raise your hand just now?"

"Actually, I have been hesitating for a while. After thinking about it at the end, I still feel that the merger of Phoenix and Merrill is just an ordinary business merger and does not involve an industry monopoly!" Karl Rove said calmly.

"You have to think about it?!" Mitch McConnell looked ugly.

"I thought about it very clearly!"

"Mr. McConnell, the current situation is 7:6. Most of the members of the hearing did not think that the merger of Phoenix and Merrill involved a monopoly, so please respect everyone's opinions and the rules of the meeting, and announce the final The result!"

Guo Shouyun stood up directly and said.

Although the final result was full of drama and far beyond his expectations, no matter what, Guo Shouyun would not let the fruit of victory slip from his hands.

Looking at him, and looking at the concerned eyes around him, Mitch McConnell took a deep breath. Even if he doesn't want to, in the public eye, he can't really abolish the public for personal reasons. Otherwise, even if he rejects the result of today's vote, there will be another vote that favors Bruce Guo. After all, standing behind him is the President!

"I declare that the merger of Phoenix Bank and Merrill Lynch is a normal business merger and does not involve a monopoly!"

"Whoa...!"

Under the leadership of Guo Shouyun, accompanied by the accompanying staff of Phoenix Bank and Merrill Lynch, countless applause broke out in the entire conference room. Of course there are exceptions, after all, losers don't applaud winners.

After the applause stopped for a while, Guo Shouyun wore a winner's smile and looked at Gesell Schiff and others who were preparing to leave with a heavy expression.

"Mr. Schiff, Mr. Pandit, it looks like I won this time!"

Gesell Schiff paused, "Mr. Guo, don't forget that we won when we were short on LinkedIn. If you get back a game today, it's just a draw! No, it shouldn't be called a draw. , after all, we made $1.2 billion by shorting LinkedIn, and this time you not only made no profit, but also lost the controlling stake of Phoenix Merrill Lynch, allowing Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and the Morgan family to make big profits!  Say you're still a loser!"

"Really? Then we'll just walk and see!"

"certainly!"

Gesell Schiff, who left two words, turned and strode outside.

"Don't be too happy, things have just begun between us!" Steven Liping threatened.

Guo Shouyun buckled his ears, "Do we know each other?"

After speaking, he turned and left.

"you…!"

With a furious expression on his face, Steven Liping, who was about to catch up, saw the two sturdy bodyguards blocking the way, his expression stagnant, after a cold snort, he turned around and followed the footsteps of Gesell Schiff and others and left the conference room .

"Bruce, congratulations!"

Carlyle Group CEO David Rubinstand, who came to the hearing.

"Thank you! But it should be said that it is Tongxi. The Carlyle Group is also a shareholder of Phoenix Merrill!"

"Haha, that's right!"

"But to be honest, I thought it was over in the end. Never thought that Karl Rove would support you at the last minute! The result is so dramatic, it's unbelievable!" Goldman Sachs CEO Bran C. Finn took over.

Guo Shouyun nodded, with a hint of emotion and elusiveness in his words.

"Unbelievable indeed!"

…

"Why? Why would you support Bruce Guo?"

After the hearing, Mitch McConnell found Karl Rove angrily.

"Why can't I support Bruce Guo? Did I tell you in advance that I must vote against the merger of Phoenix and Merrill?" Karl Rove asked rhetorically.

"I…!"

Mitch McConnell froze for a moment. They really didn't look for Karl Rove in advance. But hasn't the latter broke up with Bruce Guo? It stands to reason that the latter should no longer be supported.

"You haven't...!"

After waving his hand to interrupt him, Karl Rove said indifferently: "How to make a decision is my business, you don't have to worry about it!"

After speaking, he turned and left. Looking at his back, Mitch McConnell's face changed, and finally gave up after snorting coldly and asked for a clear idea. The hearing has ended, and the merger of Phoenix and Merrill has become a foregone conclusion.

"Jingle Bell…!"

Karl Rove had just gotten into his car when the phone rang. Picked it up and glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.

"Why help me?"

"This is what I owe you!"

After a long silence, "Thank you!...Karl, the grievances between us are written off!...Dudu!"

Listening to the blind tone, Karl Rove sighed with a complex expression.

On the other side, Guo Shouyun, who hung up the phone, turned to ask, "Has the thing given to you the day before yesterday been sent?"

"It's been sent out! But the news hasn't spread, we can buy it back with money." Wang Jue said quickly.

"Forget it, send it out, send it out!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand. If he didn't expect it, even if he didn't expose Karl Rove's black material, the Schiff Citi Alliance, which suffered a big loss, would also be exposed! Since the results are the same, there is no need to do more.

…

"Damn, damn, what is there to show off that bastard. When I became the head of the Schiff family, I had tens of billions of funds, and when I was in the mall, he didn't know how to play in the mud!"

Back home, the old Schiff completely lost his composure.

Seeing his furious father, William Schiff sighed inwardly. He knew his father very well. Although he remained calm on the surface, he was a very conservative person in his heart. He valued his face and the noble family style very much. It was obvious that no one had the slightest disrespect for him. In particular, Guo Shouyun's behavior of slapping his face in public is even more shameful to him!

Old Schiff, who had vented a bit, finally calmed down. After taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone and called Citi CEO Kram Pandit.

"Rahm, I think it's time to start planning the next step!"

"I'm sorry, Gesell. The board of directors feels that it is difficult for Bruce Guo to make a profit by shorting Unocal under the premise that he has mastered Phoenix Merrill Lynch, so we, Citi, can no longer participate in the next step!"

"Ram, that's not what you said back then!" Old Schiff suppressed his anger.

"Old man, even though I am Citi's CEO, major investment actions are also subject to the board of directors. So I'm really sorry! ... Dudu!"

"boom…!"

In a hurry, Old Schiff threw the phone out, "Bastard! When these guys take advantage, one is more active than the other, and when it is their turn to contribute, one runs faster than the other!"

The quality of the Nokia mobile phone is very good. Although it was thrown far away by the old Schiff and a vase was smashed in the middle, it was still in normal use when it was picked up by William Schiff.

"Father, now that the aftermath of the merger of Phoenix and Merrill has not dissipated, it is normal for Citigroup and the others to have concerns..."

"Normal shit, I think they were scared by that sassy boy Bruce Guo!" After interrupting his son rudely, Old Schiff picked up the phone again, "I don't believe that there are not many other than Citigroup. Have the guts!"

As a result, old Schiff made a round of phone calls. All but Halliburton Energy CEO Steven Liping rejected his offer to collaborate again.

Old Schiff's face was ashen, he took a deep breath, and there was a hint of deep thought on his old face. After a while, he turned upstairs, came to his study, opened the safe hidden in the corner, and took out a red mobile phone from it.

William Schiff, who came with him, saw the phone and his face changed drastically.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Glancing at his son, Old Schiff said in a cold tone: "They are right, after owning Phoenix Merrill, Bruce Guo has reached the peak in terms of financial resources and influence on financial public opinion. Go short before passing it. LinkedIn's method to short Unocal is no longer realistic. But there is never only one method in this world!"

"Father, Bruce Guo's influence is too great now. And now everyone knows we have a conflict with him, once he dies, our Schiff family will be the first to be suspected...!"

Old Schiff interrupted his son with a wave.

"Don't worry, I'm not that unwise yet! And Bruce Guo is so careful, we may not kill him!"

Stopping here, William Schiff's heart finally relaxed a lot.

"Then why did you use the Black Lion Mercenary Group?"

As an established family in the United States for hundreds of years, the Schiff family, like other established families, also has its own secret armed forces. In addition to defending itself, it also uses this power to deal with some secret activities. The function is basically the same as the inner guards around Guo Shouyun!

"Don't Unocal have a lot of oil wells in Southeast Asia? If you blow up some ~www.novelbuddy.com~ I believe its stock price will respond soon!" Old Schiff's eyes flashed coldly.

In order to save face, he really did everything he could.

"Father, did you really decide to do this?" William Schiff asked in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.

"What, can't you?"

He originally wanted to persuade his father to give up the idea of ​​battling with Bruce Guo to the end, but when the words came to his lips, remembering the results of his previous persuasion, he changed it again.

"It's not impossible, but doing so will have too much impact!"

"It is better to have a great influence, so that Unocal's stock price will fall harder, and our profits will be more. Besides, who in the world knows that we did it?"

Stopping here, he knew he couldn't stop it. After all, the head of the Schiff family is not him.
