A luxury cruise ship slowly docked at the private pier in Brighton, a short man walked down the ship, someone met him at the pier, the short man seemed very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly before getting into the vehicle to meet him.

He was greeted by a special Cadillac sedan that drove out of the dock and into a bayside villa not far away.

When the car drove into the villa, there were already two people waiting here, sitting under the tree, each with a coconut in their hands. They may dress casually, but no one dares to despise them, because one of them is Edward, the governor of Massachusetts, and the other is the president of Harvard University, and they are very high-ranking people in Massachusetts and even the entire federal society.

When they saw the short man come in, they all immediately got up to greet him, for the short man was none other than Louis, the patriarch of the House of Lowell.

"You are very welcome, Mr. Louie, we have prepared your favorite drink for you. ”

Edward asked the attendant to bring Louis a glass of watermelon juice, and then they invited Louie to sit down, and Edward said to Louie: "You have been living in Rhodes for the past few days, and I think you have not forgotten about our business." ”

In the face of Edward's question, Louis was not in a hurry to answer, or he did not bother to answer, and saw that he first drank a few large sips of watermelon juice before he said: "Mr. Governor, I really knowingly ask, I am here today for this matter, but as you know, I am here to care about the situation of the CDS contract held by the holding company of the Addams family. ”

It seems that the Chinese really intends to target subprime loans. "But I'm afraid I won't be able to help Louis in this regard, because you know, I'm the governor now, and if I rush to check the CDS contract holdings of other companies, I'll have very bad news for the outside world, which is something I need to avoid." ”

Lawrence on the other side also said: "I don't think I can help Louis anymore, because I'm only the president of Harvard, and it's hard for me to find out what other companies hold." ”

Louis was not surprised by Edward and Lawrence's answers, he just smiled coldly and said: "So that's the case, that's a pity, but it doesn't matter, anyway, I've always been cooperating with that Zhou Ming, so let's continue to cooperate well in the future, but I also hope that Mr. Governor and Mr. Principal will still come out when it's time to come forward, so that we can help you make money, right?"

Louie's words didn't sound like a problem at first glance, but Edward and Lawrence immediately frowned, and Lawrence also asked: "I really didn't expect the Lowell family to be so generous now!"

Louis smiled: "People will always change, and after living with that Chinese for so long, I feel that I have been influenced a lot by him." ”

Instead, Edward and Lawrence sat up straight, both frowning at Louie, as if they were suspicious of something.

Finally, Edward and Lawrence looked at each other, and Edward said, "Mr. Louie, I think that since we are an alliance, we should have an alliance, especially unity and concerted efforts, then things will be simpler in the future." ”

Lawrence also said: "I think not only do we have to be united, but we also have the same goal, so I think it's necessary for each of us to accomplish our respective tasks." ”

......

Louie's smile was very cold, he also pulled his thoughts back from his memories, he sat on the sofa in the living room of the luxury villa in Rhode Island, looked left and right at Zhou Ming in front of him a few times, and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming also has a deep understanding of psychology, otherwise according to the habits of Edward and Lawrence, he will only leave himself clean and stand on the shore to watch our jokes." ”

"It's okay, after all, their thoughts are human. Zhou Ming said this, but he was thinking in his heart, aren't these thoughts exactly what Louis did before?

Of course, Zhou Ming didn't bother with this question, but then asked him: "No matter what the reason, but at least they are willing to help, it can make things easier, so I believe that Mr. Louis also brought information about the holding of the CDS contract by the Addams Family Holding Company, right?"

Louis nodded and said: "Actually, I don't need to bring this confidence at all, the entire Brighton subprime loan industry basically knows that the Addams family is the driving force behind the entire market, and Edward Lawrence also agrees with me that almost every subprime loan and CDS contract transaction is more or less related to the Addams family." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Louis, are you saying that every subprime loan company or institution involved in CDS contract trading has a controlling stake in the Addams family?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Of course not, Brighton has a lot of investment companies, and no matter how powerful the Adams family is, it's very difficult for him to control all the companies, and there's no need for that, and when I say about him, I mean he's in a very important position in these deals. ”

Louis thought for a moment and said, "Let's say I have a ten-year CDS contract worth $10 million now, and I want to put it on the CDS market and sell it, and after a few days the contract changes hands twenty times, and finally sells for a whopping eight million dollars, and in the twenty times it changes hands, at least two or three times will be made by an investment company controlled by the Addams family." ”

Lin Muqing gasped and said, "Isn't the entire CDS market just a play directed and acted by the Addams family? ”

The Adams family invested resources to stir up the CDS market and sold the acquired CDS contracts to greedy speculators at a high price, but when was the bubble not formed in this way? Just like the domestic stock market in later generations, everyone watched the two cities rise every day, as if even fools could make money when they went in, so everyone began to invest money into the stock market one after another, regardless of whether the current economic situation is so good, or whether the rise of the stock market is inflated.

Or there are people who understand that someone is raising up behind their backs, but everyone thinks that they are understanding people and think that they can withdraw before the stock market collapses, but they don't know that greed is the original sin, and he will make you endlessly fantasize about waiting one more day and making money one more day.

And now the same is true of the CDS market in Brighton, every speculator is fantasizing about how much profit they can bring to themselves if the contract they buy changes hands, and no one has ever thought about what this CDS contract is, and how much the subprime loan market that supports the CDS contract has been raised, they only think that they are not the last, and there will always be the next one to take over this order.

Zhou Ming leaned back on the sofa and exhaled softly and said: "I don't care about those insatiable speculators, I only have one question, Mr. Louie, please tell me how many CDS contracts the holding company of the Addams family holds now." ”

Louis shook his head and replied, "I don't think I can tell you the exact number, but according to our conservative estimates, it has reached at least $300 billion." ”

Hearing Louis say this number, Lin Muqing didn't have time to be surprised, so she quickly reacted: "Zhou Ming, but now the total amount of real estate in Brighton is only about 500 billion US dollars, although the subprime loans will not all be on the mortgage of real estate, but real estate is the vane of subprime loans after all, and this number can at least prove that the Addams family has a considerable number of CDS contracts in their hands." ”

Louis nodded and said, "Ms. Lin, what you said is very good, almost half of the CDS contracts in Brighton and even Massachusetts are under the control of the Addams family. ”

"This is really exciting news. Zhou Ming said, "But Mr. Louie, I still hope that you can give me more detailed information." ”

"No problem at all. ”

Louis said to Zhou Ming, and then he made a phone call, and after a while, a person walked into the living room of the villa and brought them a cardboard box the size of a person's chest.

"That's all you need. "But there's one thing I think I can tell you is that Fenway is the place where the most subprime loans are processed, and the Vinda community is the most important thing." ”

After leaving this sentence for Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing, Louis left the living room.

Lin Muqing looked at the back of Louis leaving, twisted her eyebrows and asked Zhou Ming: "Why did he tell us this? Does he know any news about you, and he wants to deliberately lead you to where he needs it?"

Zhou Ming didn't answer directly, but asked first: "Sister Mu Qing, I think you still have an impression of Omar, right?"

Lin Muqing thought for a while and nodded, "I remember, Zhou Ming, you said on the phone that he is a member of the district council you support, right?"

"Not yet a councillor, but except for not having a proper name, he has almost the same real power, and he has been to Bowbur several times even to go to parliament meetings, and the area he is in charge of is in the community of Vida. Zhou Ming told Lin Muqing.

Lin Muqing suddenly realized, and Zhou Ming continued: "There is another point, Omar has a little relationship with Governor Edward, Edward has visited Omar in the Vida community, so I think it is normal for Louis to know the news through Edward." ”

Lin Muqing became vigilant again: "So this Louis will he deliberately ask you to start with the Vinda community?"

Facing Lin Muqing's nervous appearance, Zhou Ming said with a smile: "Sister Muqing, I don't think you need to be so nervous, although I know that they must have done it on purpose, but it is not necessarily bad news, on the contrary, I think it is something they have considered." ”

Seeing that Lin Muqing still didn't seem to understand, Zhou Ming had no choice but to say again: "First of all, we are in an alliance with them, no matter how unreliable this alliance is, but at least we are still in the same boat, I don't believe that now that there is an opportunity, they will deliberately shirk it; ”

Zhou Ming paused here and finally said: "And the most important point is that I understand this Vinda community, which is the community with the largest concentration of ethnic minorities, including Chinese, that is to say, it is a place where there are a lot of subprime loans, and it is a good way to start here." ”

"I think Louie is just reminding me where to start, after all, time is of the essence now, and no one knows when the Addams family will throw away all the CDS contracts in hand, so we need to find the focus as soon as possible. Zhou Ming said.

Lin Muqing let out a breath and said, "If Zhou Ming insists, just do it, I will support you." ”

Zhou Ming smiled and said to her: "Sister Mu Qing, you relax your heart a little, you still have to have a minimum trust between people." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Omar, I have something very important here and want to ask you for help......
