Chapter 1278: Chapter 437: The Mediator

The matter of Cameron Block, in the grand scheme of things, is not significant; it happened, and that’s that.

Sigmund Warburg died, and so he did, except for making Anthony Rothschild understand that if he wants to compete with Donnie in the United States, he can only do so using fair commercial rules, or, if using political power, Donnie wouldn’t mind, but if underhanded methods are used, Donnie would show him what thunderous means are.

This is the sole value of Sigmund Warburg’s death.

Now, for everyone, the most important thing is the IPO of the Deep Sea Bank.

In fact, with the death of Sigmund Warburg, the Deep Sea Bank IPO has also reached its final stage.

Anthony Rothschild forcefully pulled himself out of the situation surrounding Sigmund Warburg’s death, urgently mobilized his think tank team, took over all the work in Sigmund Warburg’s hands, and focused intensely on the matter of the Deep Sea Bank IPO.

In reality, not just Anthony Rothschild, but all capital across the United States is focusing on this matter.

In such circumstances, the atmosphere on Wall Street is starting to become somewhat heavy.

It is like the calm before the storm.

“It has been a long time since we’ve seen such a situation on Wall Street!”

At the Morgan headquarters, Jack Morgan stood in front of his office’s floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bustling crowd outside, and said with some sigh.

Standing beside him, George Whitney said with a hint of pride in his voice, “That’s because Wall Street has never seen such a large company go public!”

“Indeed!” Jack Morgan returned to his seat, and with a somewhat distracted expression, he asked George Whitney.

“George, do you think the Deep Sea Bank’s listing is a good thing or a bad thing?”

George Whitney looked at Jack Morgan with some surprise, knowing that before Deep Sea Bank decided to go public, Jack Morgan was very much anticipating its IPO, but now suddenly raises such a question?

Although he had questions in his heart, George Whitney still expressed his thoughts.

“Sir, if there weren’t AB stocks, I wouldn’t consider it an entirely good thing. But with AB stocks in place, it is a good thing. Deep Sea Bank owns several consumer businesses in Florida and the Florida National Bank, which is a huge cash reserve. After Deep Sea Bank goes public, firstly, it can provide us with a large amount of cash through equity transactions, and secondly, it can continuously provide us with cash through its profits. I really can’t see any downside!”

Jack Morgan nodded and said, “Indeed, from this perspective, there aren’t any problems. But we all know Donnie very well. In fact, even if it didn’t go public, given Deep Sea Bank’s current profitability, it could repay the debt after the bonds mature, so why did Block decide to let Deep Sea Bank go public?”

George Whitney was a bit puzzled. Wasn’t that something that was decided even before restructuring the business environment in Florida?

“I think it’s because Block wants to fulfill his previous promise, right?”

Jack Morgan nodded again, but after nodding, he shook his head and said, “I think it’s not just because of that; there should be another layer of meaning!”

George Whitney didn’t know how to respond; he still couldn’t grasp that level of meaning.

Jack Morgan suddenly asked George Whitney, “Did you see the news in the New York Times a few days ago?”

George Whitney tried hard to recall the news he had seen over the past few days, knowing that the topic Jack Morgan suddenly brought up couldn’t be without cause.

Suddenly, a flash of insight hit George Whitney, and he replied, “Sir, are you referring to the news about Sigmund Warburg being gunned down in public?”

Jack Morgan nodded and said, “Who do you think did it?”

George Whitney felt that Jack Morgan’s questions were becoming increasingly difficult, as Sigmund Warburg’s death caused a significant commotion in New York, with the entire police force in action, almost turning New York City inside out. They caught many people, but none were related to the person who assassinated Sigmund Warburg.

A single Sigmund Warburg actually wasn’t important; what was important was Anthony Rothschild, who was behind Sigmund Warburg.

There aren’t many who would dare to boldly assassinate Sigmund Warburg publicly.

Connecting it to what Jack Morgan previously mentioned about Donnie Block, George Whitney asked in surprise, “Do you think it was Donnie Block who did this?”

Jack Morgan smiled and said, “I just have this suspicion.”

“But there’s no reason!” George Whitney thought for a moment and said, “Why would Block do such a thing? This entirely doesn’t fit Block’s character, and moreover, I believe that even if Block really wanted to kill Sigmund Warburg, he wouldn’t use such a high-profile method!”

Jack Morgan also showed a hint of confusion and said, “I think so too, but I pondered for a long time, and except for Block, I couldn’t think of who else would have the guts to do this.”

George Whitney thought for a moment and chose to directly inquire, “Sir, is there a connection between Deep Sea Bank going public and Sigmund Warburg’s murder?”
