Chapter 290: Goldman Sachs' Transformation
Chapter 290: Goldman Sachs' Transformation
……
"Ding...!"
The silver coffee spoon collides with the porcelain cup to produce a light and pleasant sound. After a few stirs, Stephen Bryan took a sip, his face quickly showing enjoyment.
"Stephen, your tastes are truly unique!"
John Jamison shook his head, he really didn't feel any sense of cat poop coffee.
"In the words of the Chinese people, this is called 'turnip greens have their own love'!"
"Okay, that's all for now, Stephen, what's going on at Citi?" asked Blank Finn.
Fortunately, this time they didn't sign a bet with Bruce Guo, otherwise Citi's losses would have been even heavier! However, although the loss was large, it could not hurt Citi's roots. But it was a major blow to Citi's prestige in the financial world. If it's not handled well, Citi can easily go up and down!"
Blank Finn nodded, Citi's situation is clear to them, under the glossy appearance of the world's largest consortium, is the problem that the acquired Traveler Life, Meibang and Solomon have never been able to integrate. Under the influence of these internal factors, Citi's development has been stumbling.
Under the fierce pursuit of ****, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, it is a question of how long it can maintain its position as the world's largest financial group.
However, Citi's bad luck is good news for Goldman Sachs, after all, everyone is a competitor.
"ING's losses are worse than Citi's, especially its Tulip Fund, which has lost more than $4 billion!" said Stephen Bryan.
"I guess the board of directors of the ING Group now has the heart to kill Oliver Balin!" Blanc Feindow.
Stephen Bryan nodded, and after a moment of silence, "Actually, Oliver Balin and even the entire Citigroup-led Confederate army are a little wronged. 9/11 came so suddenly, the price of gold exceeded $280 in less than a day, and they didn't have time to adjust! If it hadn't been for 9/11, they might not have lost. ”
"But there are no ifs in the world!" After a pause, Blank Finn glanced at John Jamison next to him, "Bruce Guo has made a lot of money this time!"
"According to conservative estimates, the income created by the Thunder Fund this time is more than 10 billion US dollars! Counting their revenue in the first half of the year, I am afraid that it will not be less than 20 billion!"
Although this number has been in Stephen Bryan's mind many times, he is still amazed every time he mentions it!
His words silenced everyone.
"Do you think there's a connection between Bruce Guo and the J Earth Organization?" Blanc Fein said suddenly.
Looking at the sharp eyes of the two, he organized the language and said slowly: "I'm just guessing. After all, without 9/11, Bruce Guo would not have won the Citi League on the gold market. The difference in strength between the two sides is too big!"
"Impossible!" John Jamison shook his head, "Bruce Guo grew up in the United States, and his life trajectory is traceable, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with the J organization, otherwise the FBI would have come to his door a long time ago! Even without 9/11, I still firmly believe that he will still win the Citi League, but it may be a little longer!"
"It's always scrupulous to be too successful, especially if he's still Chinese!" said Stephen Bryan indifferently.
John Jamison's pupils shrank, "The White House is going to do it?"
"White House?" Blank Fein shook his head slowly, "Now they're preparing to go to war against the J organization, and they don't have the heart to deal with Bruce Guo." Besides, he was the big funder of our Mr. President campaign, and the money earned by the Thunder Fund this time also had a share of the Bush family. Therefore, the current White House has no intention of getting along with Bruce Guo!"
"Is it Citi again?"
"Well, Citigroup, the Schiff family, the Dutch ING Group, they are not willing to swallow tens of billions of losses!" Blanc Fein said.
"What about our attitude?" said John Jamison after a moment of silence.
"Of course I refused. The current Bruce Guo's energy is not to be underestimated. In particular, his Thunder Fund has made a lot of money for a large group of people. Nobody doesn't like money, so Citi is doomed!And it's a stupid idea to believe that a super-rich man worth tens of billions of dollars has anything to do with the J Organization!" After a pause, Blank Fein continued, "John, are you still in touch with Bruce Kwok?"
"Just called last week!"
John Jamison didn't hide it either. In fact, after he realized Guo Shouyun's increasingly powerful energy, he consciously began to deepen the relationship between the two sides. So, every other week, he would make a phone call to the other party.
After nodding, "I beg you to ask him, I hope that after he returns to the United States, everyone can have a chance to sit down and have a meal! Also, in the acquisition of Enron, we Goldman Sachs are willing to help." ”
After taking a deep look at Blank Finn, John Jamison understood that with Bruce Kwok's increasing success, Goldman Sachs' attitude has finally completely changed!
However, some people like it, some people hate it, such as Oliver Barin, and now he is no longer disgusted with Guo Shouyun, but hates it to the extreme.
Tremblingly lit the cigarette in his hand, accompanied by the light of the lighter, Oliver Balin's pale and sad face was reflected from the darkness, and now he was completely devoid of his original spirit. The crumpled suit, the blonde hair like a bird's nest, and the deep-set eye sockets all reveal a kind of embarrassment.
Looking at the empty villa, Oliver Barin's heart was like ashes at this time. After the gold price always hovered at a high of $290, and the alliances, including Citigroup, insisted on choosing to close the position, he had to choose to close the position without margin.
The result of the liquidation was that he not only lost all his family property, but even the tulip fund he managed lost $4.3 billion!
The heavy loss not only made him a poor egg. Moreover, he was also kicked out by the ING group.
All of this was something he hadn't thought of, but now it's all a reality!
"Jingle bell...!"
The cell phone on the table rang suddenly.
"Oliver, the ING Syndicate has decided to take you to court, and with their ability to make you sentenced to life in prison!"
Uncle Hills' words sounded like a thunderclap to Oliver's ears!
"No... No way. They agreed to invest in gold. Moreover, our Bahraini family has a deep relationship with the ING Group, how can they...!"
Oliver Barin's panicked words were rudely interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"Don't say anything impossible. After this time, our Bahrain family is finished, completely finished, understand?No one takes us seriously anymore, and the bastards of ING are now all thinking about our assets to cover their losses, understand?" The hysterical words revealed the other party's despair and irritability at this time.
"Whew... For the sake of our blood, Oliver, let's start running away now. Leave the United States, leave the West, and start a new life somewhere they can't find it!
'Click', after the Braille sounded, the phone also fell to the ground. Oliver Balin was stunned for a while, his breathing gradually became rapid, and the bloodshot eyes became more and more dense, all of which made the originally handsome him look so hideous and terrifying at the moment, as if he chose someone to devour!
"Damn it, damn bastard!"
Accompanied by the sound of infinite hatred, the furniture and decoration in the villa went to great mildew. Half an hour passed, and by the time Oliver Balin, who had exhausted his strength, stopped, the elegantly decorated luxury villa had been turned into a garbage dump!
"Bruce Guo, I'm going to kill you!"
The night owl-like voice was full of fierceness, and it rang out in the empty villa!
