Yo Adrian! JBS Beefs Up on Wall Street: From Philly Steaks to Billion-Dollar Stakes!

Gonna Fly Now... All the Way to the New York Stock Exchange!

Yo Adrian! You ain't gonna believe this. That JBS the meat company? They finally made it to the big leagues the New York Stock Exchange! It was touch and go there for a while. Like me in the 15th round with Apollo. They opened at $13.65 a share which they tell me puts the whole shebang at about $30 billion. I don't know much about numbers but that sounds like a lotta clams even for Paulie! More than that Tyson fella they say. It was supposed to happen Thursday but they were a bit slow gettin' to it and just like me after training they needed another day.

From South Philly to Sao Paulo: A Meatpacking Odyssey

This JBS they're not from around here. They started way back in Brazil. They got their meat all over Brazil the US and even Australia. Even own a piece of Pilgrim's Pride that chicken place. I betcha they didn't get to the top by eatin' just cheese wiz. I heard that thing was de listed from Sao Paolo a week back but they’re planning on staying right here so as Apollo would say “Ain’t gonna be no rematch!”

Trouble in Paradise: More Scandal Than the Italian Market

But here's where it gets a little south of South Street Adrian. See it wasn't all sunshine and roses for JBS. These guys got tangled up in some real beef if you catch my drift. Bribery corruption... the whole nine yards. Like when I was fightin' Clubber Lang and got blindsided they had to fight back. They paid out big time to settle things. And the Batista brothers the fellas runnin' the show even had a run in. But they didn’t do no time no siree just like in the movies they bounced back and now they're back in charge!

Rocky Mountain High...Or Amazon Low?

And it ain't over Adrian! Even after all that JBS got popped for buyin' cattle from some land in the Amazon that they shouldn't have. They say it was illegally raised...like tryin' to pull a fast one on Mick. And get this: some politicians didn't want them here because of all the mess. Said it wasn't right. It was getting ugly like when I was talkin' to my son.

Money Talks: From Russian Winter to the American Dream

But then bam! JBS's subsidiary Pilgrim's Pride throws a mountain of money at some committee. And suddenly things start lookin' up! They got the okay to list on the New York Stock Exchange. It's like when I had to win over the Russian fella. Sometimes Adrian it ain't about how hard you can hit but how much you can take...and how much you can give I guess.

Eye of the Tiger...On Wall Street!

So there you have it Adrian. JBS made it. They took a beating they got knocked down but they got back up. Just like me. They're on Wall Street now trading under the symbol 'JBS.' Maybe I should invest. Maybe I could buy a new turtle for Cuff and Link. But one thing's for sure: this ain't no club fighter making a quick buck. This is a real contender battling it out in the big leagues. Yo Adrian we did it!
