I just didn't expect that the other party would actually use the acquisition of Goldman Sachs shares as a counterattack.

This made Paulson wonder what Abel would do next.

Do you want to buy Goldman Sachs?

Stop joking.

Although Goldman Sachs’ current market value is less than $60 billion.

But in a company like Goldman Sachs, it's easy to buy a small share of the stock.

You can buy it on the secondary market.

But once the warning line of the company or shareholders is reached, the difficulty of acquisition will increase exponentially.

If there is a forced acquisition, we will face challenges from Goldman Sachs management later, including mergers and acquisitions.

This does not include counterattacks by means of "poison pills", "golden parachutes", etc.

As long as Goldman Sachs and its management are unwilling, it will be difficult for outsiders to control the company.

It is definitely very difficult to seize Goldman Sachs shares.

After all, among the four major investment banks, Goldman Sachs is equally greedy.

But it never seeks death. In terms of company security, it is almost the same as Morgan Stanley.

Something Paulson couldn't even figure out.

Of course, Lloyd Blankfein didn't understand either.

But soon another news was sent to the two people.

"He also invested in Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley? What about the Raymond Brothers?"

The four major investment banks on Wall Street are all listed companies.

It's not difficult to buy their stocks.

"Did you also buy Lehman Brothers shares?"

"What's the value?"

"Understood."

In the fixed-income commodities department, Paulson put down the phone.

During the call, Goldman Sachs' market surveillance department told him about the CEO.

Today, Smith Capital already holds about 1.1%-1.5% of the shares in each of the four major investment banks.

Because I was very cautious about buying, and the U.S. stock market has not been very good these days.

This made the four major investment banks, who were very keen in this area, wait until Smith Capital took so many of their shares.

They just found out.

This is mainly related to the fact that they did not expect that Smith Capital would acquire their shares.

Acquiring shares without the goal of acquiring a company is of little use to the four major investment banks.

On the contrary, it supports their stock price and seems to be helping them.

This made the four major investment banks who thought Abel would take some actions.

Very surprised by this.

Just like I was surprised that Abel suddenly made a big move in the US stock market a few days ago.

Lloyd Blankfein made a judgment: "Maybe the other party is just a financial investment?"

After thinking about it, Paulson felt that this was the most likely possibility.

Otherwise, does Abel really want to acquire Goldman Sachs or the other four major investment banks?

That’s too arrogant!!

After thinking for a while, Paulson said softly:

"Maybe it's possible. But he is the Wolf of Wall Street after all. And now some people call him the God of Wall Street Investment."

"We cannot underestimate his actions."

Lord Blankfanti suggested: "Then let the market surveillance department keep an eye on him!"

This is what the title should mean.

No matter who it was, they suddenly acquired a large number of stocks from the four major investment banks.

Even if he verbally claims that it is just a financial investment.

They are all the same and will be closely monitored by the four major investment banks.

Shareholders don't want to lose control of the company.

The company's top executives don't want to suddenly change bosses and affect their leadership status.

But something that surprised Paulson even more happened on the afternoon of the 24th.

Because I got the order from the CEO.

Goldman Sachs' market surveillance department naturally began to keep a close eye on Smith Capital.

This close monitoring allowed Goldman Sachs to discover that Smith Capital had invested in 131 stocks a few days ago.

Four of these stocks have surged to varying degrees since the U.S. stock market opened this afternoon.

One of them, "Andrew Building Materials (stock code: adlgs)", soared by about 36% in two hours.

The head of Goldman Sachs’ market surveillance department quickly told Paulson about this.

Who called their CEO, Mr., gave them orders...

If you have anything related to Smith Capital, no matter how big or small, you must inform him immediately.

When Paulson received this call.

he

I was having afternoon tea in a hotel with a guest from Texas.

Worried that there was something urgent, Paulson had to answer the call at short notice.

During the phone call, Paulson learned about the skyrocketing price of the four stocks bought by Smith Capital.

This afternoon, these four stocks surged.

For Smith Capital, the profit almost exceeded US$150 million.

This made Paulson frown.

On the phone, Mr. & asked Smith Capital whether it had engaged in stock price manipulation and other activities.

Goldman Sachs' market surveillance unit told Paulson that Smith Capital may not have done so.

These four stocks belong to different industries.

Most of the reasons for the rise in their stocks come from the sidelines.

For example, "Andrew Building Materials (ticker: adlgs)".

The reason why this company's stock is soaring.

It is because of its main products and technologies that it has been spotted by a state-owned infrastructure company called Rabbit on the other side of the ocean.

Rabbit's company wants to acquire Andrew's technology related to building materials.

This is a transaction involving hundreds of millions of dollars, with hundreds of millions more to come.

This news has been recognized by the relevant departments of Rabbit.

In addition, "Andrew Building Materials" itself also issued an announcement confirming this matter.

This made the market immediately optimistic about "Andrew Building Materials (stock code adlgs)".

This company's stock price began to rise.

Paulson didn't feel that Abel's tentacles could reach the rabbit at this time.

The situation is similar for the other three stocks.

It’s just that the stock’s rise is not as exaggerated as that of “Andrew Building Materials”.

But the lowest one also rose by 11.9%, which is quite exaggerated compared to other stocks on the market at this time.

After hanging up the phone, Paulson touched his bald head.

"Is it possible that this guy is not only sensitive to the international foreign exchange market and futures?"

"Is he just as good at investing in stocks?"

While thinking about it, Paulson returned to his seat.

Continue to smile and talk with the guests from Texas, and continue to drink afternoon tea leisurely.
