Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 950

"Is it convenient for me to ask about your investment plan for next year? How much equity in Coca-Cola do you plan to take?"

Pursing his lips, Carter seemed to realize that it was not appropriate to ask such a question.

Serious person, who would tell you his position allocation and investment intention so easily?

Carter then added:

"Sorry, Mr. Buffett, it might be inappropriate for me to ask this question. But just now you mentioned that you proposed this plan because I currently have a lot of Coca-Cola stocks in my hand. I don't deny this."

"The total amount of shares held directly or indirectly, except for the increase in holdings when the big cooperation was signed that year, over the past few years, I have about 6% of Coca-Cola's shares. In other words, this part can be affected I dominate or influence. In this regard, our ideas may be the same, and I am more optimistic about Coca-Cola!"

"Interesting! It seems that our ideas have a high level of agreement to some extent! For this tacit understanding, I think I need to drink with you!"

He heard the meaning of refusal in Carter's words, but Buffett was not in a hurry.

After clinking glasses with Carter with a smile, Buffett continued:

"Since we all want to take a heavy stake in Coca-Cola, a very real problem is before us. The total amount is so much. If we assume that other shareholders have no idea of ​​reducing their holdings, we will only artificially push The high price of Coca-Cola puts it out of its reasonable range again. At that time, whether this stock is still worth our heavy position is a question!"

"Mr. Buffett, you are right. From the moment you put forward this suggestion, I understand that you may have made sufficient preparations, and you have spent a lot of time and energy investigating and researching it."

"That's right, I have communicated with several small shareholders of Coke, and there is already a preliminary consensus on intentions. I was surprised and very happy when I received your invitation a few days ago, because if you don't ask me to meet again, my I'm afraid the phone call is about to hit your office! But you guys, the office has been unable to find anyone all year round! I'm fed up with your Indian manager's curry-flavored English!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Gaushal's accent is indeed a bit of a joy. Well, let's just say it, Mr. Buffett, it seems that you have long been eyeing the shares in my hand. Speaking of business, I have no objection to the general I will give you the shares in Li, but the premise is that there must be enough remuneration!"

In addition to being surprised that Buffett had already set his sights on his Coca-Cola equity, Carter also quickly reviewed the situation in front of him.

First of all, Buffett must have been aware of the fact that he wants to short US stocks with a large amount of money since he opened his mouth!
And such a large volume also means that I need to borrow a huge amount of stocks.This kind of demand directly determines that I am relatively in a weak position, and I need the stocks in his Hathaway's hands!

It's impossible for me to give up the pick easily, and Hathaway said he won't cooperate if he doesn't cooperate!

Secondly, when shorting such a large volume, my focus and focus are not only on the rise and fall of individual stocks.What I pay attention to is definitely the trend of the market!So at this time, the level of individual stock returns, for me, is just at a point of time that is least valued
At this time, he proposes to exchange the Coca-Cola stock in his own hands with the precondition of stock exchange, and reach a stock lending agreement to lend stock Feel.

How can I say this feeling?

Not to mention how angry, or uncomfortable.If you can do it yourself, why can't others? !
It is Buffett's ability to be keenly aware of his current embarrassment, or to pay attention to the dislocation of the center of gravity!The holder of positive income for more than 50 years, can it be someone who has no skills?
Plus, Carter has no doubt that Warren Buffett knows more about himself.Gein.
This guy's dad is a former congressman.
As written in the anti-chicken soup copywriting in the previous life: Buffett will only tell you that he visited the New York Stock Exchange when he was eight years old, but he will not tell you that his father, who is a member of the United States Congress, took him there
With such a family background and connections, there may be a difference in the gap between the two in terms of information acquisition, but it is not too great.Once the information is transparent, it will be a pure bright card on the table!

Use demand to block yourself and force yourself to accept the other party's conditions in order to achieve his goal of investing in delicious.This hand, played really well!
Asking himself, Carter is also convinced that if he really had to make a choice, he would definitely choose to temporarily give up the Coca-Cola stock.Let's eat the wave in front of us first!

But at the same time, Carter is also trying to recover some due to the obvious cards of both parties. It cannot be called a loss, but it can only be said that it is a bit aggrieved to be stuck with a BUG like this.
"My requirements are not high, give me a chance to invest in Hathaway! I'm not talking about the kind that is traded on the Nasdaq OTC market. I hope to directly connect with you and reach an equity agreement with Hathaway, Rest assured, on the price, follow the market quotation!"

This counterattack directly silenced Buffett.
In his heart, Buffett couldn't help but give Carter a thumbs up for this move!
The reason I found is that Carter already has a lot of Coca-Cola stocks in his hands, and using it as the target of repayment can reduce his pressure.Investing in Berkshire Hathaway based on market quotations, this is because people are optimistic about you!And uncompromising support.
The main thing is a high-sounding!
Why didn't Carter buy Hathaway's stock directly from the OTC market? !
Berkshire Hathaway, whose single share price is nearly 4000 US dollars, just look at this price!For a stock in the over-the-counter market, if you only look at the price, its single share price is already higher than the stock prices of quite a few companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange!It can be called against the sky!

Such a high share price. Think of HT's low share price!

HT's policy is to start a stock split once the stock price exceeds $10, to push the stock price back down to less than $10.The purpose is to improve liquidity!Lower the transaction threshold!Allowing more people to participate in HT's business, with more people participating, the influence and popularity of HT will gradually increase
The high stock price of Hathaway is just the opposite!It does this for the purpose of reducing liquidity!
In other words, Mr. Buffett actually doesn't want a lot of messy people to intervene in his company and interfere in decision-making.What he wants more is some stable, even fanatical supporters!
Think about it, 4000 US dollars per share. Well, since its unit price is too high and it is traded in the over-the-counter market, even if its minimum trading threshold has been reduced from 10 shares to [-] shares.That is only [-] US dollars to be eligible for admission!
Forty thousand dollars, this is the income of many middle-class Americans in four years!
There is such a big sum of money, not a fanatical Hathaway supporter, not his little fan of Buffett, who the hell got his head caught in the door to vote for Hathaway? !

There are 1600 companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and it is not impossible to choose!
Similarly, the exorbitant stock price also means that Hathaway does not have much equity in circulation!This, combined with those fanatical, long-term holders, it can be said that Hathaway's stock liquidity has reached an outrageously low level!

Carter has every reason to believe that if he can't do the work of Mr. Baba, and prevent Hathaway's board of directors from passing a resolution on additional stock issuance, and adding himself as a shareholder, it will be difficult to buy Hathaway in the market even if he is waving banknotes. Savoy's stock!

Of course, if the price of one share reaches 6000, that's another matter!
