America 1919

After coming out of the bathroom, Moody Aiden saw that his wife had already prepared breakfast.

This was the usual life of Moody Aiden. As a stockbroker, his income was quite substantial. Mrs. Aiden, his wife, was a full-time homemaker, and they had a lovely son.

Sitting down at the dining table, Mrs. Aiden handed him a glass of milk.

"I've noticed everyone has been talking about Warburg Company's stocks lately. Should we sell ours quickly while Four-Sided Investment is buying at a high price?"

Among Moody Aiden's personal investments was the purchase of Warburg Company's stocks, but at that time, he had bought at a high price and had been unable to find a suitable opportunity to sell.

Mrs. Aiden was aware of this situation.

Therefore, Mrs. Aiden believed now was a good time to sell the Warburg Company stocks.

Moody Aiden smiled easily and said, "No need to rush; we're not clueless stockholders. Let's wait a bit longer!"

Mrs. Aiden suspiciously asked, "Do you have any insider information?"

Moody Aiden waved his hand and said, "No insider information. Although Warburg Company has been declining recently, the Warburg Family's influence is still there. The Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium is the foundation of the Warburg Family in the United States, and they won't give up easily!"

Mrs. Aiden showed a hint of curiosity: "So, you're saying that Four-Sided Investment's acquisition will fail?"

Moody Aiden waved his hand again: "No, Four-Sided Investment consists of the Morgan, Mellon, Chase, and Venus banking consortia. I can't think of any company in the U.S. capable of opposing them. But the Warburg Family must have some strategies. I think the price will definitely rise a bit more, and then we can sell!"

Mrs. Aiden nodded with a smile and said, "I see; in that case, I trust your judgment!"

Moody Aiden proudly said, "When has my judgment ever been wrong?"

"Daddy is the best!" said little Aiden, clapping happily from the other side of the table.

Moody Aiden proudly picked up little Aiden. "Of course, Daddy is the best!"

After finishing breakfast, Moody Aiden put on his coat and left his apartment. On his way to the bus stop, he habitually stopped by the newsstand to buy a copy of the "Wall Street Journal," which he read daily.

As soon as Moody Aiden approached the newsstand, his relaxed smile vanished. He grabbed a random newspaper from the stand and ended up buying a copy of every paper.

He decided not to squeeze into the bus and instead hurriedly ran back home.

Mrs. Aiden was clearing up breakfast. Seeing Moody Aiden return, she habitually asked, "Did you forget your keys?"

Moody Aiden shouted, "Where are our Warburg Company stock certificates? Give them to me quickly, or it'll be too late!"

"What's going on?" Mrs. Aiden asked, somewhat alarmed.

"Look!" Moody Aiden handed her a newspaper.

Mrs. Aiden saw the headline on the front page of the "Atlantic City Post"!

"Four-Sided Investment has reached an agreement with Mr. Paul Warburg, completing the purchase of the Warburg Family's shares in Warburg Company. Four-Sided Investment is now the largest shareholder, and only less than 10% remains to achieve Four-Sided Investment's target acquisition ratio. Shareholders of Warburg Company are urged to head to Four-Sided Investment's acquisition centers after reading this notice!"

The simple statement was like a thunderclap, leaving Mrs. Aiden speechless!

By this time, Moody Aiden had gathered all his papers and ran out of his apartment. When he arrived at Four-Sided Investment's acquisition point, he found a long queue had already formed.

Everyone there, like him, wore worried expressions, fearful of being unable to sell their Warburg Company stocks!

.

Four-Sided Investment's acquisition of Warburg Company sent shockwaves through Wall Street and soon after, the entire United States!

Prior to this, everyone believed that with the support of the four major banks, Four-Sided Investment would eventually acquire Warburg Company, but no one expected the situation to unfold so suddenly!

Nor did they expect the Warburg Family to give up so easily after only a token resistance, selling the Warburg Company's shares swiftly to Four-Sided Investment!

"Did Four-Sided Investment hold Paul Warburg at gunpoint?"

Wall Street stockbrokers were all discussing the event, puzzled by Paul Warburg's quick surrender.

"There must have been a deal we don't know about, otherwise Paul Warburg wouldn't have given up on the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium so easily!"

Before any official explanation could surface, whispers about the Warburg Company's stock transaction abounded on Wall Street the entire morning.

Some even speculated that the Warburg Family relinquished Warburg Company so easily because they wanted to gift it to Donnie's soon-to-be-born child, considering the child possessed half Warburg lineage.

However, obviously, such a conjecture held no ground!
