Introduction

Although shareholders of RJR Nabisco in Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA, have attracted global attention and received a continuous influx of money, including checks totaling $2 billion in the mail at the end of February, few shareholders are grateful to the company's senior executive Ross Johnson. Now, Winston Salem has become an unprecedented city of millionaires. All Wall Street tycoons associated with RJR want to get a share of the benefits, so Ross found financial experts Henry and Peter to work for him. What followed was a Wall Street drama full of greed, betrayal, intrigue and high-risk bets. Based on the Chinese translation of "Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco" written by Brian Baller and John Heller, the book describes the financing and acquisition of biscuit manufacturer Nabisco by RJR, the second largest tobacco company in the United States, in 1988. Even now, this acquisition of $25 billion is still very shocking, which makes people doubt the actions of the relevant people. At that time, it was also the largest acquisition fund in the history of Wall Street. In 1989, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts of the United States broke this record with a price of $31.4 billion, and its acquisition target was RJR Nabisco. After reading this book, you will be surprised to find out how much control the Internet and individuals have over the world's business and economy. It reveals to us the huge rights and opportunities given to CEOs, from which you will understand who is the real "player". The book was selected by Forbes magazine as one of the 20 most influential business books in the United States in the past 20 years. It was also selected to be excerpted in Leo Goff's classic investment book "Read 25 Investment Classics at Once".
