Chapter 385

To achieve achievements that ordinary people can't reach, you must work hard, just like you have to go out on the third day of the new year.

This is also a matter of no way. Who makes Westerners spend Christmas and the lunar new year can only accommodate.

Fortunately, Yi Huirong understands Gao Xian's difficulties, and can also make him worry free. It is in accordance with the old saying full of life philosophy that he marries his wife and virtue.

In this most important holiday for Chinese, Gao Xian, who must go out on business, will not be alone, accompanied by Ma Yongda.

Ma Jingxi has high hopes for his eldest son and has now let him experience at Merrill Lynch's New York headquarters.

However, it may also be because of this high expectation that there is a little contradiction between Ma Yongda and his father Ma Jingxi, because the young master took a very serious attitude and made a model girlfriend.

Just think about the root causes of the contradiction, you can guess that there must be more factors to consider in a rich marriage, not to mention Ma Yongda, the eldest son of Ma Jingxi.

Gao Xian is afraid to avoid these family leaders, because he still has trouble if he takes it seriously.

Ma Yongda, who came out early to breathe, began to complain as soon as he met, "staying at Merrill Lynch headquarters is very boring! Brother Xian, I really don't have the talent to engage in financial work. I'm tangled to death."

Gao Xian nodded sympathetically, "but what can you do? You don't know the importance of cooperation with Merrill Lynch!"

In this era, it is not only others who are thinking about making a fortune in the United States. Investment banks such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are also actively expanding their business in other parts of the world. Merrill Lynch has an Oriental Department, and Xiangjiang has infinite charm with its world-famous degree of economic development and freedom.

"This year, there are obvious signs that Xiangjiang stock market is getting better. I believe this trend also exists in other stock markets around the world." Gao Xian said earnestly: "boss Ma has worked hard in the past two years to get through the low tide of the stock market. You can't let him down when you see the harvest coming."

Ma Yongda sighed, "I can only hope that Yongfa, the second younger brother, will replace him quickly."

Gao Xian smiled and said that the relationship between the Ma brothers was really rare.

"I'm going to travel to New York, Chicago and other cities to further investigate the preparation of Xiangjiang futures trading market. If you're really bored, just be my partner." Gao Xian changed a relaxed topic.

Ma Yongda said admiringly, "brother Xian, you really have perseverance. It seems that you are completely immune to the boredom of financial work."

"You can only blame yourself for not adjusting." Gao Xian said with a smile, "tell you something interesting. I estimate that there are only a lot more malicious acquisitions on Wall Street this year. Do you want to continue to play with me and save some private money for your honeymoon trip?"

Ma Yongda really diverted his attention and asked in a low voice, "brother Xian, do you mean that Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs will still fight?"

"Money can be earned, why don't people pinch?" Gao Xian's eyes flashed.

There were many concrete manifestations of the great changes in the world economic order in the 1970s, such as the marked increase in malicious acquisitions in the past two years.

What is malicious takeover? To put it bluntly, it is to tear off the usual warm veil and grab it. The more intense the resistance of the board of directors of the target company, the more wonderful the scene will be.

In fact, Gao Xian himself also made malicious acquisitions, such as the acquisition of a milk company that triggered several wars. Zhou Xinian, chairman of the board of directors of the milk company at that time, didn't want to hand over control at all, and was finally forcibly expelled.

However, although the acquisition war of milk companies involving Gao Xian, Zhou Xinian and Jardine is wonderful within the scope of Xiangjiang, it is not enough to expand to the world.

First of all, in previous years, the system of Xiangjiang securities industry was very imperfect. It was not too much to say that it was full of loopholes, and then there were all kinds of incredible phenomena. Only the competing milk companies did not suspend trading, and let the stock price roll up, it was enough to make the peers in the United States laugh.

Secondly, although the scale of the acquisition war of milk companies is enough to boast within the scope of Xiangjiang, it is nothing compared with the malicious acquisition in the United States.

Moreover, the operators of malicious acquisitions in the United States are big players such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Xiangjiang's peers can only be regarded as younger brothers.

In this surging tide of malicious acquisitions, the most prominent are Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. The former acts as the thugs of the initiators of malicious acquisitions and is called "knight in black", while the latter correspondingly becomes "White Knight" to help malicious acquisition targets resist malicious acquisitions.

As for Goldman Sachs' anti hostile takeover means, it is not unpredictable. It is mainly to help the target company maliciously acquired to attract a third-party company with a higher quotation, so as to protect the interests of shareholders of the target company maliciously acquired. If the other party's bid is not satisfactory, it will really have to fight to the end until one party surrenders

Obviously, only in terms of malicious acquisition, Morgan Stanley has made money, and Goldman Sachs's risk evaluation will be better, whether it is hypocrisy or to make money.

To be honest, in this capital game, Gao Xian can't get the role of the protagonist. The reason is obvious. Almost all the companies that can be involved in the malicious acquisition war are not small families. They are arrogant and confident. Even Wall Street landlords such as Goldman Sachs want to be good people, they have to pay repeated visits.

However, Gao Xian can not be the protagonist, but can also be a supporting role.

The occurrence of malicious takeover is often accompanied by a substantial rise in the share price of the target of malicious takeover. As long as we seize the opportunity and buy in advance, we will make a steady profit without losing.

Furthermore, according to the regulations of the securities and Exchange Commission of the United States, when the proportion of shares traded reaches 5%, it must be reported. Under this bar, Gaoxian can make a lot of money quietly.

In the hostile takeover battle that took place the year before last, that is, in 1974, targeting the electric storage battery company, the world's largest battery manufacturer, Morgan Stanley was forced to raise its offer from $20 to $4 billion. While making a high profit, Morgan Stanley also figured out some relevant experiences.

On this basis, Gao Xian speculates that an oil company headquartered in Dallas, Texas is likely to be the target of the next malicious acquisition.

This time, if Gao Xian wants to play bigger, he has to exceed the 5% bar to attract the attention of outsiders.

The reason is simple and rough. Winning respect is inseparable from doing!
