The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 301: Rush to Buy

"Boss, there's news from the stock exchange that the company's stock price has risen from $52 per share at the opening to $61 per share. If the trend continues, the stock price will most likely reach $70 per share by the close of today!"

Listening to the latest news reported by his subordinates, President Henry Paulson nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, the company's stock price continued to rise because several of his allies were constantly raising the stock price according to the plan agreed with him before.

Moreover, in order to allow his allies to obtain as many shares and share the benefits as possible, Paulson deliberately handled the listing of Goldman Sachs in a low-key manner. If outsiders did not get the inside information in advance, it would be almost impossible for them to compete with those guys who had already prepared well in the first place~!

The further rise in stock prices will not only solve the problem of Goldman Sachs' capital shortage, but also bring about a qualitative leap in the value of these shareholders. After working hard for so many years, who doesn't want to live a more comfortable life in their later years? And all of this is inseparable from the support of funds~!

……

Late at night, the lights in the remote video conference room of Comet Capital in Seoul were still brightly lit.

Zhang Junfeng, KB Bank's chairman Kim Jung-tae, and Leon John, head of Goldman Sachs' Korea branch, are gathered together at the moment, curiously looking at Mato Walls across the camera, listening to him talk about the current changes in Goldman Sachs' stock price and the shares they have already acquired.

"...Ten minutes ago, our people have already acquired 1.6% of the circulating shares. Together with the 7% of shares acquired in advance from other shareholders, we are only 11.4% away from the shares. Our goal can be achieved ahead of schedule~!" At this point, Mato Walsh's face was filled with a bright smile.

In his opinion, only if he holds a large number of company shares, will he, as the vice president, have enough say in the company's senior management in the future. If he only has the position but no shares to support it, then he, as the vice president, is at best a worker and a tool~!

If the subsequent shareholders have any opinions about him or want to support other people to manage Goldman Sachs Group for them, then once his value as a tool is exhausted, he will be "eliminated" by them and his position will be replaced by others.

……

"Have you acquired 1.6%? It seems that your people are acting very quickly, Walls~!" Zhang Junfeng's face lit up when he heard the number revealed by the other party. You know, the funds that the other party can mobilize are far less than what he can mobilize.

But Walsh was able to acquire nearly 10% of the shares in such a short time, which shows that this guy is determined to get the shares of Goldman Sachs Group! They can't fall behind too much~!

"Zhang, how is the situation on your side?" As Zhang Junfeng expected, the partner quickly asked about his situation. Zhang Junfeng said calmly, "How many shares I can acquire depends on how many traders Nacho Morgan has mobilized! As soon as I received the news two days ago, I arranged for KB Bank to immediately deposit all the funds needed to acquire the shares into the securities account opened at JPMorgan Chase."

Upon hearing that Zhang Junfeng had actually invited Nacho Morgan as a "foreign aid", Mato Walston, who was originally very happy, suddenly felt that the shares he had acquired were not so attractive~!

At the beginning, he contacted Nacho Morgan hoping to persuade him to follow him and take as many Goldman Sachs shares as possible, but he said he was only willing to provide him with a loan and didn't want to get involved. But as soon as Zhang Junfeng opened his mouth, he was immediately willing to serve? Isn't this too double standard? !
No wonder Zhang Junfeng was so calm, it turned out that he had outsourced such an important matter! Nacho Morgan was naturally aware of Zhang Junfeng's attitude towards him. Now that he had the opportunity to get closer to Zhang Junfeng, Nacho Morgan was very likely to mobilize several gold medal traders to help Zhang Junfeng acquire as many Goldman Sachs shares as possible.

……

Perhaps it was because he saw the expectant looks of Walls, Leon John, Kim Jung-tae and others, Zhang Junfeng thought for a moment and then dialed the number of Nacho Morgan stored in his mobile phone.

After beeping for about ten seconds, the other end of the line was connected. Hearing the familiar voice of Nacho Morgan coming from the receiver, Zhang Junfeng smiled and explained, "Today, Goldman Sachs Group officially listed on the Dow Jones sector. I'm a little curious about how much the operators here have helped to acquire?"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng asking about the acquisition of Goldman Sachs Group's shares, Nacho Morgan, who had originally planned to report the good news to Zhang Junfeng later, said with a hearty laugh, "I was just about to tell you that our trader directly paid an 8% premium on the issue price and snapped up a lot of shares. It should be about 7.5%!"

"According to the current situation, we should be able to acquire a lot more. However, the increase in the stock price of Goldman Sachs Group is much higher than expected. It is estimated that the 10 billion US dollars you transferred will probably be able to receive about 16-18% of the shares!"

Even Zhang Junfeng, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked when he heard that JPMorgan Chase was able to acquire so many Goldman Sachs shares in one go. You know, the market has only been open for about half an hour, and being able to acquire so many stocks in such a short time was beyond their expectations!

"Great! This way, Walls and I's plan will surely succeed. Thanks to your help this time. When I go to New York next month, I will definitely invite you to the celebration party~!" After getting the exact information from Nacho Morgan, Zhang Junfeng completely relaxed and took the initiative to invite him to attend the celebration party later.

"Hahaha, then I'll definitely taste the Dragon Country delicacies you mentioned before~!" Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words of thanks over the phone, Nacho Morgan was in a good mood and started to tease him. At the same time, he was secretly thinking that maybe he could bring the "adopted daughter" he had just adopted to meet Zhang Junfeng, so as to advance his "honey trap"!
……

Seeing Zhang Junfeng hung up the phone, Mato Walsh urged him impatiently, "Zhang, have you ever considered taking advantage of this opportunity to acquire more shares of Goldman Sachs? By then, the two of us can join forces and even bring down Henry Paulson, the old fox!"
