Noah Scott looked at Simon's expression and said, "For the matter of the Quantum Fund, Soros himself also needs to take responsibility. He asked us to sell all our contracts, and no one knew where the news was coming from. As a result, the S&P 500 fell sharply again, and we had to force his position. Now Soros is insisting that we made a mistake and accusing Lehman Brothers of conspiring with you to manipulate the market. Coupled with the media fueling the fire, the matter has become more and more troublesome. ”

After Simon heard Noah Scott finish speaking, the last trace of expectation in his heart disappeared, but he retorted without hesitation: "Noah, this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

"I understand," Noah Scott said in a sincere tone, "but, Simon, the situation now is that you have to settle this matter as soon as possible before you can get out of the recent turmoil, and neither does Lehman Brothers." You should feel that the FBI, the SEC, and the CFTC are clearly trying to get a hold of you. $1.6 billion, that's a lot of money, and they absolutely don't mind doing anything in order to get a fine. ”

Simon turned his head, nonchalantly looked at the blurred glass window in front of him, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Noah Scott felt Simon's mood change, and said: "We have already been in contact with Soros, and reconciliation is good for everyone. However, Soros still insisted on asking for $50 million in compensation. ”

Simon was silent again, raised his hand and slashed diagonally across the window, then pointed to the other side of the slash, and then withdrew his hand with some trepidation.

Noah Scott saw that Simon was starting to wander, looked at the strange pattern he had drawn on the window, and continued: "Simon, $50 million in compensation, Lehman Brothers will pay $4,000, and you will take out $10 million, how about this? $10 million is nothing to you right now. But if you're investigated, you could spend more than $10 million in court fees. ”

"Noah, I thought we might be friends," and after a moment of silence, Simon turned to Noah Scott and re-spoke, "It seems that there should be no such opportunity now." There are no irregularities at Westeros, so tell the person who sent or forced you to come and I'll be prepared for $10 million to deal with the lawsuit. If $10 million isn't enough, $100 million, or $1 billion. Speaking of which, I don't really care about the money because it's so easy for me to make money. I'm not used to people taking my stuff, though. If you look a little harder, you'll know that I'm actually a very vindictive person. Last year, a couple of bastards attacked me at night, and I broke a leg on all five of them. Well, it's actually supposed to be Rokujo, and the women around me don't want me to be too violent, so I let go of the one behind the scenes. This time she will definitely not intercede for some people again. So, you can let those people try it, and if they want the money, come and grab it. ”

Noah Scott's expression became more and more sneering as Simon's words grew, and after a moment he said, "Simon, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"I don't quite understand either, perhaps, I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I've started talking nonsense," Simon shook his head with a confused expression, and then made a gesture to see off the guest: "Noah, don't contact me again in the future." ”

According to James Raybould, after media pressure, private wiretapping, and the indispensable covert investigation, no evidence of Westeros' violations can be found, Rudy Giuliani may actively create evidence to force other targets who have been caught to accuse Simon.

Ivan Boskey, a Wall Street insider who was just convicted earlier this year, was sentenced to three years in prison and a $100 million fine when he agreed to charge five other insider traders in negotiations with Giuliani. He kept half of his fortune.

Ivan Bosky is the prototype of Michael Douglas's Gordon Gacko in "Wall Street," which will be released next month, and the classic 'Greed-is-good' line in the film is exactly what Ivan Bosky said in a speech at the University of California.

Right now.

Lehman Brothers may well have been the one to be caught, hence the visit from Noah Scott.

Because of the fact that it did not exist, it was clearly impossible for the investigative agency to find any tangible evidence of Simon's conspiracy with Lehman Brothers to manipulate the market. However, if Simon had just agreed to spend $10 million to participate in the lawsuit against Lehman Brothers and the Quantum Fund, he would immediately be caught in some kind of magical logic of 'why should you help if you didn't hit it', and it would be difficult for Westeros to get out of this turmoil again.

Walking out of the apartment building, Noah Scott looked at the reporters around him who were still squatting on such a snowy day, and quickly got into his car parked not far away. The reporters who were guarding in the wind and snow found that Noah Scott was not Simon and the people around him, so they did not gather around.

Perhaps because of the cold wind that had just been blown by the wind, his thoughts were much clearer, and Noah Scott got into the car, and suddenly realized why the people in the living room who had just entered Simon's apartment looked at him a little strangely.

Those people probably understood his intentions before he arrived, and he was like a clown just now.

Thinking of this, Noah Scott suddenly felt a strong embarrassment in his heart.

After sitting in the car for a while, Noah Scott started the car and quickly returned to his parents' apartment on Second Avenue. American Express is headquartered in New York, and Nelson Scott, one of the vice presidents of Amex, naturally lives in Manhattan as well.

Noah Scott walked into the house, and three other middle-aged people were sitting in the living room of Scott's house at this time, in addition to James Robinson, CEO of American Express, and Nelson Scott, Noah Scott's father, there was another somewhat balding middle-aged man, who was sitting on the sofa with a cigar in his mouth and his legs crossed.

My mother didn't allow my father to smoke at home with her, and she would be furious every time she found out. Looking at the middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth, Noah Scott could only frown slightly, walked over and took out a pocket recorder from his suit pocket, and respectfully pushed it to the other party: "Mr. Giuliani, he refused." ”

Rudy Giuliani slowly picked up the recorder and pressed the play button.

However, when he heard Simon's last words, the face of the middle-aged prosecutor with a tough style suddenly became a little unpleasant.

The Scott father and son just sat next to him honestly, and James Robinson looked at the star politician opposite who had been a little carried away because of the 'killing of all sides' in recent years, disgusted in his heart, and said politely on the surface: "In that case, Rudy, I'm afraid we can't help." If you insist, Lehman Brothers will pay a fine for the previous illegal transaction. Or, when you leave office, whether you're starting a law firm or a consulting firm, American Express will be happy to be your client. ”

Rudy Giuliani didn't look at James Robinson, holding the recorder for a moment before standing up. Still holding the recorder tightly in his hand, he glanced at the other three, and finally his eyes fell on James Robinson, and said coldly: "Jim, don't take it as an example." ”

James Robinson and the three of them hurriedly got up, and when the other party walked to the door, Robinson asked again: "Rudy, in this case, can we settle this case with the Quantum Fund?"

Rudy Giuliani took the coat handed over by Noah Scott, nodded slightly, and then said, "Tell that kid that I will definitely keep an eye on him, don't let me catch the handle." ”

With that, Rudy Giuliani pushed the door open.

The three people standing in the living room were relieved when Rudy Giuliani left. Due to some tricks and tricks in advance, although that transaction will not cause much trouble to a few people, it is a trouble after all, and it is naturally better to be able to gently expose it now.

Closing the door, Noah Scott ran to open the window again, and then looked at the two elders who had re-seated, and said in a mocking tone: "Didn't he think that he was more likely to be targeted? ”

Nelson Scott listened to his son's words, turned his head and reprimanded: "Noah, this matter has nothing to do with us, you'd better not get involved." ”

Noah Scott said with a little resentment in his tone, "It's impossible for me to mix, you all heard it just now, Simon Westeros has broken off his friendship with me." ”

"Okay, although it's a pity to lose this customer, it's also something that can't be helped," James Robinson said at this time: "Noah, you can fill Will Green's vacancy next, don't let me down." ”

Will Green is the senior vice president in charge of the quantum fund who has gone awry.

The previous dispute between Lehman Brothers and the Quantum Fund was destined to be settled out of court, but despite some preparation in advance, Rudy Giuliani found out about American Express's follow-up deal with Westeros in September, and asked Noah Scott to involve Simon Westeros.

I didn't expect to be recognized at a glance.

James Robinson and Scott were also relieved that if Simon Westeros did agree, even if Giuliani's main target was Westeros, Lehman Brothers' reputation would definitely suffer.

Right now.

The last resort failed, and Giuliani uncovered the September deal of American Express, and tacitly agreed to the settlement between Lehman Brothers and the Quantum Fund, and his side survived. Whether Simon Westeros and Rudy Giuliani will face each other again is not something they need to care about.
