Chapter 1014: 345, Absolute Suppression_3

Max Woerberg knows about Paul Warburg borrowing $100 million from the Rothschild family, but when calling Paul Warburg, he cautiously refrained from mentioning it.

Paul Warburg understood what Max Woerberg meant and said, “I know!”

After hanging up the phone, Paul Warburg looked at the time; it was already four o’clock in the morning!

Paul Warburg has hardly had a restful sleep these days.

“What did Mark say?” Felix Warburg, who also hadn’t rested, asked directly after seeing Paul Warburg hang up the phone.

Paul Warburg said coldly, “Donnie’s side actually claimed they’ve let us, the Warburg family, off the hook. Otherwise, he would have teamed up with Germany’s Krupp family and Quanter family to jointly acquire our Warburg Bank in Germany!”

“How dare he!” Felix Warburg immediately erupted in anger.

But after the anger, Felix Warburg slumped powerlessly on the sofa because he knew Donnie truly dared. Just like now, they’re acquiring the American Warburg Corporation together. With the backing of the Krupp and Quanter families, they didn’t have to worry about opposition from the German government, which meant they placed this matter purely as a business acquisition.

If that’s the case, the Warburg family is now leaking on all sides!

“Felix, you immediately call Germany and inquire if there’s been any unusual fluctuation in the Warburg Bank’s stock lately!”

Paul Warburg didn’t believe Donnie’s words at this moment, so this matter must be within his control!

Felix Warburg dialed a number without hesitation, and only after receiving a definite reply did he breathe a sigh of relief.

“There’s been no movement in Germany. I believe today will be a crucial day. As long as our statement hits the newspapers, I believe the scales of victory will tip in our favor!”

In Felix and Paul Warburg’s plan, they’ve upheld their position with Warburg Company’s statement for two days. Today, they’ll support the acquisition of Warburg Company’s stock with the existing 50 million US dollars; tomorrow, the Rothschild family funds will be available, by which time they won’t have to worry!

Paul Warburg nodded, showing a fierce expression: “This time, Donnie and his people have pushed us to this extent. We must not forget this feeling; when we recover, we must retaliate harshly, you understand!”

Felix Warburg nodded and said, “I know, I won’t let them go!”

Time ticked by minute by minute, and neither of the Warburg brothers felt any drowsiness; they were waiting for today’s “The New York Times.”

Because today’s “The New York Times” newspaper would publish the news of their cash acquisition of Warburg Company’s stock.

As the clock hit 5:30, the servant at Paul Warburg’s apartment brought in the newspapers… To resolve any sudden situations in the shortest time, Paul Warburg had been staying in their luxurious uptown Manhattan apartment!

The servant delivered not just “The New York Times,” but also various other newspapers, including the “Atlantic City Post” and “Wall Street Journal.” They needed to see if Four-Sided Investment had taken any other actions.

The two first turned to “The New York Times”!

When Felix Warburg saw the major headline on “The New York Times” cover, it was about their statement to acquire Warburg Company’s stock at $4.2 per share. A smile spread across his face.

“I believe our acquisition point will definitely be crowded today!”

Felix Warburg then regretfully said, “It’s a pity our preparations weren’t sufficient to set purchase points nationwide; otherwise, today might have forced Four-Sided Investment to abandon their unrealistic ideas upon seeing our situation!”

Paul Warburg also sighed helplessly. Throughout the acquisition process, they’ve remained in a passive position. Regardless of appearance, purchase points aren’t very important; the sheer numbers of purchase points actually represent the ability to attract more retail investors.

“So we must follow up by having the company increase more purchase points!”

As he spoke, Paul Warburg opened the “Atlantic City Post,” and upon seeing its contents, his smile vanished instantly.

Because he saw Four-Sided Investment’s latest statement!

They raised the original purchase price from $3 per share to $5.5 per share, this price actually exceeded theirs. More importantly, both statements were issued on the same day at the same time.

In such circumstances, the holders of Warburg Company stock can see at a glance which offer is better. So, with Four-Sided Investment’s advantage in purchase points and higher purchase price, is there any doubt which offer the stockholder shareholders would choose?

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Paul Warburg frantically flipped through other newspapers and found that they all published Four-Sided Investment’s statement.

“How did they know we were going to raise the purchase price?”

Felix Warburg, having seen Four-Sided Investment’s statement, asked in a trembling voice.

At this time, he felt helpless despair, as facing the $5.5 price per share, there was nothing they could do!

“What… should we do?” Felix Warburg asked Paul Warburg in a trembling voice.

Paul Warburg sat silently on the sofa for a long time, as there wasn’t anything he could do at this moment, because in the face of absolute power, he indeed found no way out.

After a long time, he dialed Max Woerberg’s room number at Surf Hotel: “I want to meet Donnie!”
