Chapter 1015: 346. Warlord

Donnie met with Paul Warburg, who had rushed from New York at the Surf Hotel.

“Block, is there still room for negotiation on this matter? As long as you propose it, I will absolutely meet your requirements!”

After meeting Donnie, Paul Warburg directly chose a low profile.

Donnie shook his head and said, “Things have come to this point, there is no possibility of recovery anymore. The merger of Four-Sided Investment with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium is already an inevitable thing!”

Sitting beside Paul Warburg were Max Warburg and Felix Warburg, their faces were ashen, but before coming, they had already reached a consensus with Paul Warburg. For this negotiation, they were led by Paul Warburg, and they had arrangements for subsequent plans.

Although they didn’t want this result, this outcome was already the best they could think of!

Paul Warburg took a deep breath and said, “Alright, if that’s the case, we are willing to give up all our shares in Warburg Company, as long as you agree to one condition!”

Donnie’s expression finally changed somewhat. Although now, whether it was Donnie’s side or Paul Warburg’s side, everyone knew that regarding the acquisition of Warburg Company, no other problems could arise.

But the Warburg brothers chose to directly abandon resistance and decided to withdraw from Warburg Company, which was still unexpected to Donnie. He thought Paul Warburg would surely struggle until the last moment?

Even with these thoughts in mind, Donnie asked with a calm expression: “I don’t know what your condition is, Mr. Warburg?”

Paul Warburg said in a deep voice: “We can transfer all shares of the Warburg Family in Warburg Company to you, but you must agree to sell the land in Florida that Warburg Company purchased during this period to us!”

Donnie looked at Paul Warburg with some admiration, there was not a bit of jest in this.

The Miami hurricane belonged to a natural disaster, except for himself as a reborn individual, no one in the world knew about this matter.

That is to say, no one could anticipate that the real estate business in Florida would directly revert back to the pre-liberation stage due to this hurricane!

Therefore, at present, the most investment-return asset under Warburg Company is the real estate in Florida.

Seeing the reality clearly, Paul Warburg decisively gave up his shares in Warburg Company for this reason.

“Although I don’t know when you started coveting Warburg Company, I think it was definitely before Warburg Company invested in Florida real estate, which means, in your four-sided discussions of interest distribution, Florida’s real estate was certainly not included. Now selling them to me also allows you to avoid disputes over this asset!”

Paul Warburg continued.

Listening to Paul Warburg’s statement, Max Warburg and Felix Warburg felt as if their hearts were bleeding. Although Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium was not founded by them, they had indeed contributed to its development.

Moreover, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium was also the foundation of the Warburg Family’s standing in the United States; now having to surrender Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium was indeed painful!

“This matter no longer has any room for maneuver; we must make the final decision for this matter!”

This was the first sentence Paul Warburg said after coming to Atlantic City and seeing Max Warburg!

“As long as we can secure the real estate in Florida, coupled with the funds in our hands, in a few years we can be like Donnie, establishing a Florida consortium in Florida, a group with more development prospects than Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium.”

This was the reason Paul Warburg convinced Max Warburg to give up their shares in Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium!

Clearly, Max Warburg and Felix Warburg both agreed with Paul Warburg’s idea.

After hearing Paul Warburg’s statement, Donnie shook his head and said: “Mr. Warburg, firstly I must say, your analysis is correct. Before we planned to act against Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, Warburg Company indeed had not invested in Florida real estate. But now, what is the market condition of Florida real estate, you know, I know, and my partners also know.

Do you think we will abandon this piece of cake and give it to you?”

Paul Warburg confidently said: “You certainly will!”

Donnie looked at Paul Warburg, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Paul Warburg said somewhat gratifyingly: “Firstly, this acquisition of Warburg Company’s shares, although it’s a joint effort by your four parties, just from the disclosed acquisition price they have to mobilize 5 to 6 million US Dollars, which is a considerable expenditure for you, even when divided among each party.

Therefore, you need to quickly cash out to offset your expenditures.

But as long as the Warburg Family remains in Warburg Company, it will be an inevitable threat to you, because you must constantly guard against the Warburg Family’s counterattack.

I think this is absolutely not the situation you wish to see.

Secondly, I’ve been analyzing why you want to merge with Warburg Company, and I’ve come to understand, because Warburg Company possesses companies essential to each of your consortia.

For example, Westinghouse Electric Corporation is significant to the New Jersey Consortium, several steel plants are meaningful to Morgan, the railroad company is relevant to Rockefeller, and even the Mellon Consortium needs the copper company under Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium.
