And then I'm sitting there and of course the tape comes, JP Morgan and Chase to merge.
So we're worth like 25 billion, they're now worth like 80 billion or 90 or whatever the number was.
Well, there goes that dream.
But four years later, our stock was up to doubled or something like that.
There's actually come in and it was in the target range.
And I had been meeting with Bill Harrison, the current chairman of JPMorgan at the time.
We were talking about it.
We both knew it made business sense.
They were kind of looking for a CEO.
So we had been talking probably for a year and a half before that.
So we got the premium.
They got the name and the location.
And I effectively had kind of control from day one because inside the merger agreement, and this is almost unheard of when we get the premium, is that to not have me become CEO 18 months later, 75% of the board would have to vote me out.
And the board was eight Bank One people and eight JP Morgan people.
And I knew a lot of the JP Morgan board members, too, who respected me.
And Bill Harris and I were very close.
But that was the agreement.
They got sued for paying too much to buy me.
I got sued for not taking enough.
You can't win anything.
