Guarantee that your shares in Gordon-Blalock Securities exceed those of Venus Bank!
"However, I’m curious—does the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium still have enough capital available?"
Donnie continued questioning Paul Warburg.
Paul Warburg had already invested the consortium’s liquid funds into the Florida real estate market. For this, Paul had even abandoned the battle over European government bonds.
Paul Warburg smiled and said, "I don’t, but Breton Bank does! If you’re willing, Donnie, I’d be happy to pledge shares in two hotels nearing completion in Atlantic City as collateral for the capital, so we can join forces to acquire!"
Donnie clapped his hands and laughed: "Mr. Warburg, you really are a skillful strategist—using my money to acquire Gordon-Blalock Securities shares, while ensuring Kuhn, Loeb & Co.’s stake in the company consistently surpasses Venus Bank’s!"
Paul Warburg smiled leisurely and replied: "Breton Bank would benefit as well, and you wouldn’t worry that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. couldn’t pay back that loan, would you?"
Donnie waved dismissively and said, "In that case, why should I bother? I could simply purchase Gordon-Blalock Securities shares directly myself—there’s absolutely no need to include the consortium."
Paul Warburg confidently retorted: "Donnie, your little trick won’t work on me. You and I both know that to acquire shares from Gordon-Blalock Securities’ other shareholders at a reasonable price, we must join forces. It’s impossible otherwise, and even if it were, it would far exceed your budget!"
Donnie sat on the sofa, lightly tapping on it, then laughed and said: "Mr. Warburg, since you’ve laid it all out, I won’t hold back either. Though Venus Bank lacks IPO experience and operations in this domain, that doesn’t mean it won’t have them in the future.
