Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 638 Iron Barrel-like HT
"Is there still no movement from HT? And Fidelity Investments, what actions have they made recently?"

Inside the PepsiCo headquarters building in New York.

Watching and listening to the news, there are various speculations about the abnormal movements of his old rival Coca-Cola.Mr. President Sculley finished flipping through the stack of documents that his assistant had just delivered.

With the passage of time, HT, which has not had any substantive counterattacks, has seen a rapid decline in market confidence and investor confidence.This should have been good news for would-be acquirers.
In particular, the stock price of HT, which fell by the limit almost every day, made Stuka's name in the stock market more and more likely to be confirmed.The lower the share price, the lower the acquisition cost
However, in this seemingly smooth process, there are abnormalities everywhere.
If you want to say that HT did not act, it may be because of cash flow problems and lack of willpower.Then, as the lead underwriter of HT, why did Fidelity Investments not move?In addition to Fidelity Investments, among HT's institutional investors, apart from Morgan Stanley and KKR, which have clearly stood on their side, the well-known Goldman Sachs is not weak at all.
Not only its influence in the financial market, but also among HT institutional investors, Goldman Sachs is also a silent major shareholder.

The continuous decline in stock prices is not good news for the company's shareholders.Under normal conditions
Even if Carter doesn't want to do anything, due to the pressure of the board of directors and the emotional problems of the shareholders, if he doesn't save him, he will be saved
But today, whether it is from Morgan Stanley or KKR, it shows that HT is so harmonious inside? !
In addition to holding a shareholder meeting and employee meeting to appease the mood when we first encountered a sniper attack, we didn't even hold a board meeting afterwards.Even if the directors of Morgan or KKR apply for a meeting, they will be rejected by a large proportion of negative votes
This signal also shows that some kind of agreement has been reached within the HT board of directors, or that Carter gave the rest of the directors a very safe reassurance, causing everyone not to panic.
Not only did they not panic, they even formed a group and completely refused to communicate with the two "traitors".

In the business world, this is a very abnormal phenomenon!
Even though, short-selling institutions are often not as scary as in the movies, nor are they as simple.In reality, short sellers will face unlimited risks and limited returns.However, the opponents he has to face include the target company, the investors of the target company, and even the China Securities Regulatory Commission, which wants the market to be stable.
But in the capital market where winners and losers are the kings and losers, even the so-called "traitors" whose reputation is so bad that a dog would want to bite them.At most, others would complain behind their backs. On the surface, they should be polite or they should be polite. After all, if you have money, you are a father!

Who knows if I will deal with you in the future, or if I will ask you for anything?

"Didn't HT release a new commercial? In addition, the report from the Houston Medical Research Institute also has a taste of public relations. Apart from these two, I haven't heard any other news for the time being."

"Can you find out about HT's capital movement?"

"It's absolutely impossible. The financial department of HT has always been controlled by Mr. Montgomery Ginas, and he is a hard-core supporter. People from KKR, or people from Morgan, can't reach the financial side at all."

Sculley's assistant shook his head, and very "cruelly" added another knife after the report was completed:

"We couldn't find it in terms of circulation channels. After all, that Mr. Black has his own bank. And HT's corporate account was opened at the place of registration. Their office is in Memphis, but the place of registration is in Peel. Sen. The bank there is controlled by Carter."

Lao Tzu lost Nima!

Hearing this, Sculley's already irritable mood became even more irritable.
A... In terms of today's scale, you can no longer be called a small bank, but it is definitely not a large small and medium-sized bank.Even with residents' deposit liabilities added, the total assets are not comparable to a bank that may be a branch of PepsiCo.
In the eyes of Sculley, this is a hook!

As a result, this inconspicuous little Gouba, at such a point in time, played a completely unexpected effect
In terms of the company, the finances are controlled by Carter's people.It stands to reason that shareholders should have the right to know about the recent cash reserves and capital movements.

But the mandatory disclosure time, isn't it still here?
It is not mandatory, internal requirements to check the financial situation, even the board of directors meeting cannot be held, so why put pressure on the finance and require them to disclose financial data?
A channel for getting news was blocked, which was fine.If your money needs to be moved, it must be circulated through the bank, right?

Even if you take cash and transport it manually, you have to take out the money, right?With such a large amount of cash withdrawal, it is impossible to completely block the news.With Morgan's influence in the industry, it is really not difficult to inquire about it!

Even if the upper management of the bank is well communicated, will the clerks below be bribed?
However, at this time, the hook-up bank worked!

You can't expect Carter to tell Morgan himself: Hey!Dude, see?I transferred all the funds of HT away.
The upper layer can't count on it, so let's start from the bottom!

结果
A small city is a disadvantage many times, but at some point, it has a very significant advantage!

That is, the head and face are too familiar! !
When a lobbyist sent by Morgan or KKR enters Douglas or Pearson, this face is almost [-]% unfamiliar, and he has to be targeted immediately!
Wherever you go, there are two policemen by your side.
The euphemistic name is: to protect the safety of guests coming from afar!In our deep mountains and old forests, there are bears infesting, so be careful oh oh. oh.
How can this nima engage in bribery? !

Which employee dared to disclose the movement of funds in his industry in front of the police?

Not to mention the question of whether it can be distinguished after a full meal
As long as he said on the front foot, the two people on the back foot have to eat free meals
Leaking commercial secrets, commercial espionage is not a small crime in the United States.In addition, Black Flag is still a savings bank, and it may be labeled as an attempt to endanger the safety of the country's financial reserves.
The bottom of the prison can sit and wear for you!
I heard that the little boy Carter is a bit ambiguous with the army intelligence agency, and he should be very familiar with the national security label.In addition, as the bottom is probed more and more
The relationship between this guy and FDIC Atlanta VP Patterson also gradually surfaced
It can be said that without Patterson's escort, some of the operations of Black Flag back then would have been ordered to rectify or even shut down.And if it weren't for Black Flag's outstanding performance back then, Patterson, the vice president, might not have been able to make it to the top.
This is a relationship that can be described as sharing adversity, and it's obviously not so easy to be bought by money.

And the result of this is:

It's okay not to think about doing things from Georgia. Once you arrive in Georgia, good guy
That's an iron bucket!
