The journey starts from the Titanic

Then with a light smile, he informed Robes Securities and Wells Fargo that they were ready to take over the Hawke family's business.

Robes Securities and Wells Fargo are very efficient. They are doing similar work. They are launching a round of mergers and acquisitions in the American industry. They are only targeted and rarely escaped.

Not only them, but Morgan Rockefeller and other consortiums are also doing similar things, but the efficiency is not as big as the William consortium. After all, they are not sufficiently prepared for this.

A large-scale merger and acquisition was decided in a street encounter. The process was calm and clean, but the resulting movement was a bomb that shocked Wall Street and American industry.

The Morgan firm’s intelligence agent hurriedly walked into Wall Street 23 and reported to Thomas Lamond, the president, that Robles Securities had acquired the Hawke family’s steel plant and shipyard.

"Is the news accurate?" Thomas Lamond asked with a solemn expression.

"It should be true, they move fast, we were caught off guard..."

Before the subordinates could answer, the desk phone rang, and Thomas Lamond's question was quickly confirmed in the phone call from the chairman of the board of directors of US Steel.

The two sides talked on the phone for more than ten minutes. After putting down the phone, Thomas Lamond frowned.

He also took a fancy to the Hawke family’s property. He originally planned to wait until the Hawke family’s situation got worse. At that time, the other party had no room for bargaining. He didn’t expect--

"Robos, you damn fellow!"

He cursed, and then his anger quickly spread to the staff of Morgan Firm...

"This time we are careless! I didn't expect them to move so fast, and the Hawk family is too useless..."

At the Morgan Estate meeting, Thomas Lamond incidentally commented on Karl's incompetence.

The acquisition of the Hawke family industry not only means the fall of a steel king in the United States, but also the William Consortium’s ambitions for the East Coast market. Soon they will surpass the United States Steel Corporation and become the world's largest steel company!

"In addition to steel companies, they also took the opportunity to absorb shares in General Motors and General Electric, and at least hold more than 5% of GM shares."

Thomas Lamond told another stern fact.

Little Morgan's face was even more ugly, thinking: Those guys are really getting too much, so they dare to covet GM?It's time for them to see the real power of Wall Street!

Soon he relaxed again and waved his hand: "Don't worry about GM, they can't swallow GM, don't need us to act, and DuPont? They will be more anxious!"

In fact, the shares of GM acquired by the William Consortium have long since exceeded 5%. However, if the DuPont family controls more than 30% of GM and the Morgan Consortium controls nearly 20% of the shares, the GM empire will not change hands!

After the meeting, Morgan Jr. and others reached a consensus to fight back.

Jr. Morgan called Stuart to mention General Motors initiatively, but his tone was not very good-"You want to dominate the auto industry?"

Situ Nan listened to the faint anger and warning on the phone, and thought to himself: a little bit of inquiring about sin.

"I'm optimistic about General Motors! Ford is also good, but unfortunately you didn't instigate Henry to put Ford on the market, and Ford has more funds."

Situ Nan teased Little Morgan on the phone.

The two parties broke up unhappy over the phone. Morgan didn't try to find anything. Situ Nan responded with an extremely "arrogant" attitude. He did not give in and wanted to infiltrate the companies controlled by the other party. Blue chip stocks.

In this regard, Robes is the most positive attitude. Robes disagrees with Jr. Morgan's inquiries: "We have sufficient funds and are not afraid of a takeover battle with each other. It is best if they have the ability to buy Chrysler or Cummins Electric!"

"Little Morgan can't take it lightly, he will definitely fight back."

Situ Nan felt that the other party had no time to fight back, so he reminded.

The William Consortium did not have the expectation of annexing the pillar companies of the other consortiums. Failure to do so does not mean imperviousness, such as becoming one of the major shareholders of General Motors.

If the other party is not careful and gets tricked like the Hawk family, Situ Nan and the others may also make the fake come true. How about the dove occupying the magpie's nest?

There is more than one GM stock hunter. In fact, the DuPont family is also buying GM stocks. General Motors' stock price remains low, but there are fewer and fewer GM stocks in circulation.

"General Motors is like this for the time being, and it is impossible to get more shares easily unless we are determined to take down the DuPont family."

Situ Nan shook his head a little regretful. The actions of General Motors have attracted the attention of Morgan and DuPont, and the goal has almost been achieved. "What about Citibank? What are the excessive demands of the Steelman family?"

"It’s a bit too much. I didn’t agree to them. Instead, I bought a lot of shares from other minority shareholders. Together with the tradable shares we absorbed in the financial market, our shareholding ratio in Citibank has reached 12%. Jin is approaching the Rockefeller family."

Thomas, Situ Nan’s Thomas, not Morgan’s Thomas, smiled and told Situ Nan the good news.

The acquisition of General Motors was just a pretense to provoke the little Morgan. Situ Nan's real target was Citibank.

The Steermans and Rockefellers have controlled Citibank for long enough, and it's time for a change.

Long ago, Situ Nan became a 5% shareholder of Citibank and remained silent for many years.

Citibank suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, and Situ Nan finally had a chance to jump out and covet this company.

"Even if the opponent is Rockefeller, we are not afraid.

In the worst case, Citibank must be independent from Rockefeller, and it must not continue to be the ATM of Exxon and Mobil."

Situ Nan said firmly.

Citibank is of great significance to Rockefeller. It has given Exxon and Mobil a lot of support in the oil business, which Situ Nan did not want to see.

He would take the opportunity to chop off one of Rockefeller's hands!

To this end, he brought in the American and Chinese Bank, which had just made a profit from financial speculation, and joined William Financial’s behind-the-scenes planning, Robes Securities Company Wells Fargo Bank Demon Angel Investment Company formed a banking group to attack Citibank.

Why is Situ Nan so confident?

Because he knows the future, even without his participation, Citibank will take advantage of the stock market crash and successfully break away from the Rockefeller consortium in the 1930s, once protected by the Morgan consortium, and finally became independent.

Think about it, Citibank is one of the largest banks in the United States, with branches all over the world and extensive influence. Situ Nan has huge overseas assets. In contrast, Citibank is stronger than the American and Chinese Bank and its operations. Wells Fargo Bank, with its center in the country, is more suitable for managing overseas assets.

Moreover, Citibank is also the controlling shareholder of Boeing Airlines. Boeing Airlines, which has not been disintegrated, is not only the second largest aircraft manufacturer in the United States, but also the second largest air transportation company, roughly the same size as Cummins Airlines.

If General Citibank controls Boeing, the William Consortium will control more than 70% of the aircraft manufacturing industry and more than 50% of the air transportation market in the United States.

Although the two major aviation giants, Boeing and Cummins, are likely to be dismembered due to antitrust laws, Situ Nan is already prepared.

In this way, how can Situ Nan remain indifferent to Citibank?

For this reason, Stuart specifically asked American China Bank to join in to deal with Rockefeller's counterattack and Morgan's coveted.

Fortunately, Morgan said that Rockefeller will certainly not give in lightly. Surrounding the battle for Citibank, several major consortia are destined to engage in a continuous and unrelenting struggle.

However, Thomas was very efficient and soon united a group of small shareholders who were dissatisfied with Rockefeller, and the struggle between the two sides began to heat up.

...

Before entering Andrew Mellon's office, Situ Nan adjusted his breathing and stabilized his mood.

"Merlon rang the siren and Hoover rang the bell. Wall Street sent a signal and the United States rushed into hell!"

Seeing Situ Nan coming in, Andrew didn't get up, but read a report in the newspaper, and there was a loss that could not be hidden in his voice.
