Chapter 959 - 327, Raise funds, company goes public_2
"What a pity! We don’t know their exact timeline or their complete action plan. Otherwise, our profits could have been even higher!"
Shaw Gordon said with a touch of regret.
Damour Bral waved his hand and remarked casually, "These kinds of things—they would never let us know. So we can’t be too greedy. Things are already looking great as they are. As long as we can take advantage of this opportunity to secure the benefits we want, the strength of the company will surely be enhanced, bringing us one step closer to becoming a first-tier securities company on Wall Street!"
The gap between a near first-tier Wall Street securities company and a first-tier one is akin to the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States. It’s not simply about how much cash a company has—it takes far more to become truly first-tier.
More importantly, it depends on how many businesses the securities company is connected to and how many of those businesses wield significant influence within their respective industries.
Clearly, Gordon-Blalock Securities, apart from its close collaboration with the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, isn’t so tightly connected to other companies.
"I wonder how long the real-estate market in Florida can sustain itself. If we can withdraw funds in time after this European war ends, and follow the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium by investing them into Florida’s real estate market, then that would be an extremely beneficial investment for us!"
Shaw Gordon speculated eagerly.
Damour Bral chuckled, "Relax, this opportunity will surely remain available to us. According to the company’s analysis, this war involving European government bonds is substantial in scale but won’t last for too long. I believe it can be resolved within this year.
As for the Florida side, their real-estate market has only just started to take off, and there’s still a long way to go before it truly soars. What we need to worry about isn’t whether we can enter the market, but how much land in Florida will still be left for us to buy when we decide to step in!"
