When the Wolves Bite: Two Billionaires, One Company, and an Epic Wall Street Battle-门口的野蛮人

作者:Scott Wapner

书名:When the Wolves Bite: Two Billionaires, One Company, and an Epic Wall Street Battle《门口的野蛮人IV:华尔街群狼之战》

这本书讲述了两位华尔街最大、最富有、最强硬,也是最具侵略性的参与者——卡尔·伊坎(Carl Icahn)和比尔·阿克曼(Bill Ackman)——之间的冲突内幕。在2013年的一场电视直播辩论上,他们为一家名为康宝莱(Herbalife)的保健品公司恶语相向,展开了一场长达27分钟的辩论。然而,这仅仅是个开始,他们之间的这场争斗伴随着无数的反转、诉讼和过山车般的起伏,掀起了一轮惊心动魄的股权战争,发展成一个长达数年的传奇故事。战火甚至延续到了华尔街之外,监管机构、主流媒体和华盛顿的政治家们都被卷入其中。

英文简介:The inside story of the clash of two of Wall Street's biggest, richest, toughest, most aggressive players--Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman--and the little company caught in the middle.

With their unprecedented amounts of capital and their savvy understanding of business, activist investors Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman have the ability to move markets and change the fortunes of investors, workers, and even large companies with the flick of a wrist. But what happens when they run into the one thing in business they can't control: each other?

On January 25, 2013, Scott Wapner, the host of CNBC's The Halftime Report, found out firsthand. Ackman and Icahn engaged in an uninterrupted, twenty-seven-minute televised war of accusations and insults over a company called Herbalife, on which they had opposing views--and opposing financial bets. The story quickly went viral and was called "the best business television ever" by Jim Cramer.

It was far from the beginning, and even farther from the end. Their feud became a years-long saga, complete with shifting allegiances, lawsuits, and financial roller coaster rides. For this book, Wapner has gained unprecedented access to all the players and unravels this remarkable war of egos, showing the extreme measures the participants were willing to take. The result is both a rollicking business story and a cautionary tale about the power that, ten years after the financial crisis, still lives in the hands of a precious few.
