Chapter 468: Charm and Dinner of the Gods
Upper East Side, Manhattan.
Andy holds a steaming white porcelain coffee cup in one hand and the other in the trouser pocket of a slim-fitting black trouser with no wrinkles, looking out at Central Park at sunset through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Honey, how do you see me in this dress?"
A sweet voice came from behind him, Andy turned around and smiled to see Ivana, who was showing her pink sleeveless high-waisted slim pleated dress back and forth with her arms outstretched, her slender and slender legs showing out from her knees, and a pair of pink pointed-toe heels with a cropped heel on her feet.
"Noble and elegant, perfectly outlined the proud upper circumference, slender waist, fat and plump, it is really the best stunner!" Andy walked up to Ivana with a smile, stretched out a finger to pick up her chin, and flirted with the delicate royal sister.
Ivana stretched out her jade hand and slapped Andy's fingers away, gave him a blank look, then raised her jade arm, thoughtfully helped Andy start buttoning the white shirt, tidied up the collar, picked up the crimson and black striped tie from the sofa on the side and put it around his neck, and began to tie it seriously.
"Tonight, Warren Buffett invited us to dinner, so naturally it should be more formal, and I don't know how many people want to meet him... β
"Ha-" Andy listened to Ivana's admiration for Warren Buffett, and didn't care about it Haha, to be honest, not in New York, not on Wall Street, I don't know how much Americans worship Warren Buffett, the most talked about by the world is the annual auction of "Buffett's Lunch".
Last year's little bully, Duan Yingping, the boss of Step by Step, was auctioned for $620,000, this Duan Yingping is an absolute awesome character, OPPP, VIVO two brands of mobile phones are rising step by step, it is really a store that opens all over the streets and alleys.
Ivana's long eyelashes blinked back and forth like a brush, her beautiful eyes smiled into a crescent moon, pursed her bright red lips, and looked funny at a little boyfriend who didn't care about it, she knew how high her man's heart was, and from the usual words and demeanors, she could feel Andy's indifference to some "big people", although he deliberately suppressed the arrogance on his body, but he still made Ivana clearly feel the arrogance in his bones inadvertently.
"Mr. Buffett is a man worthy of respect... Last year alone, $1.9 billion was donated. β
Andy admires this a little, no matter what his purpose is, Andy really can't do it himself to be honest.
Andy didn't care that Ivana attached so much importance to this dinner, but when he received the invitation to this dinner in the afternoon, he was also a little unexpected, but it was clear when he thought of Warren Buffett as Moody's largest individual shareholder.
It is nothing more than their own two couriers that have played a role, and the power of the media lies in this, and no one can underestimate the power of a weekly magazine with a circulation of 4 million copies, especially in the storm of the future, no one can be sure what will happen, once it is targeted, the angry people and Washington who wants to find a scapegoat are absolutely happy to see it.
After all, Andy's cartoon was given to then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson by the media in his previous life, which could make the White House Treasury Secretary feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, how can two cheating and cheating rating agencies that rely on credibility to eat stand it.
It's just that Andy didn't expect Warren Buffett to meet him, the god of stocks, an old man who has been deified by people all over the world, Andy naturally won't believe some media reports of apotheosis, but he knows that Buffett's surname is not a cat or a dog in the United States, and he has a deep congressional background, to put it bluntly, Warren is a second-generation official when he was young, and he was in charge of 500,000 US dollars for investment in the fifties when he first debuted in his twenties.
Warren Buffett is not a simple investor, he is also the world's largest capital market news and trend maker, a big market maker in the US financial market, and a big market maker in the world financial market.
For the American financial community, it is really necessary to avoid the essence of Warren Buffett's big bookmaker, infinitely amplify his lace news, and finally create an "American dream" in the capital market.
It is completely understandable that the Americans have created myths for the sake of the national interests of the United States in order to attract world capital to the United States, or to induce the world to imitate the American capital system.
Andy reached out and gently pinned the loose blonde hair on both sides of Ivana's cheeks behind her fair and soft ears, gently pinched her earlobes, and said with a smile: "You are like a ripe apple, more and more tempting, and now many magazines say that American boys want to date you." β
"Giggles. Ivana helped Andy tie his tie, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed Andy's cheeks and lips with red lips, her beautiful eyes flashed with admiration, and said gently: "Are you happy or unhappy?"
Andy stretched out a big hand to knead Ivana's soft font, kissed her pursed red lips, raised her eyebrows, and whispered in her ear: "Actually, they know how hard I work on you, irrigation will make you so bright and attractive, all kinds of charms, I dig hard again and again, so that you are fully familiar from the inside out... β
Ivana's pretty face was flushed, her snort became hot and rapid, she was more and more unable to resist Andy's teasing, and her whole pretty face stepped into Andy's neck, clinging to her little man's arms.
"Bang Bangβ"
Two crisp sounds, surging waves, Andy's big hand removed from Ivana's font, and after laughing twice, he said teasingly: "Rub it for a while, we don't have to go to the appointment, just go back to bed and feed you." β
"It's annoying!" Ivana let go of Andy's neck, left his arms, blushed and sneered, began to straighten the hem of the skirt that had been lifted, and after looking in front of the mirror to see if there were any wrinkles on her skirt, she picked up a water-blue handbag and grabbed Andy's arm with a smile.
"Let's go and see the demeanor of the gods, hehe. Andy said with a smile on his side face and Ivana who looked at him tenderly.
In a restaurant with a historical dΓ©cor, listen to beautiful orchestral music, look at the antique crimson European tables and chairs, and the white tablecloth is smooth without a trace of wrinkles.
"Miss Ivana, it's really amazing, the media say that you two are the prince and princess of New York, and you are indeed an enviable pair of young people. β
Andy had an indifferent smile on his face, and after glancing at Ivana, who was smiling happily and her white teeth were exposed, Ivana said elegantly, "Thank you for the compliment." β
The three of them have been greeting each other for almost twenty minutes, Warren Buffett has been observing the young man Andy Smith, and has not disappointed him, this handsome and handsome young man, very calm, not much to talk from beginning to end, nothing to talk about, only good recuperation and etiquette, and there is no excitement and admiration for seeing big people, calm and indifferent.
On the contrary, Ivana's noble temperament and elegant conversation play a good adjustment, and she doesn't look like a nouveau riche at all, after all, Ivana's father is not welcomed in the upper circles, and no one likes people who can't control their mouths, especially superficial nouveau riche who likes to boast.
After the meal came up, Andy just smiled lightly, and looked at the smiling Ivana and Warren Buffett chatting with soft eyes without care.
Andy can see that Warren Buffett likes Ivana very much, of course, this kind of liking is the kind of like that the elders like to see the younger generations who are pleasing to the eye, although Warren is also an old rascal, but even if he cares about it, the old guy is also about to die.
"I'm sorry, I'm missing... Ivana knew that her adhesive task was almost complete, and it was time to leave a little space for the two to communicate, picked up the handbag and got up elegantly, and said apologetically to Buffett.
Warren Buffett smiled and reached out to gesture, "It's okay." β
Seeing Ivana smiling lightly and her graceful figure far away, Warren Buffett looked at Andy Smith opposite and said, "You have an excellent and enviable girlfriend." β
"Thank you, Ivana is excellent. Andy smiled and nodded in agreement, there is no implicit modesty, this is not Lao Mei's style, especially when praising relatives and lovers, modesty makes people misunderstand that it is not so good.
"To be honest, I've read your information before, from your experience after you became famous when you were a teenager, until now, degenerate, drunk and dreamed of death, silence to regain your strength, rise, all the way up, completely relying on personal ability, and it also made me understand one thing, you gamble on the collapse of the real estate in the United States with all your wealth, not because you believe in the analysis of think tanks or financial advisers, but because you believe in your own decision, but this has always bothered me, where does your self-confidence come from? 1 billion dollars, 22 years old, it's simply incomprehensible. β
Warren Buffett did not go around the corner, but opened his mouth and directly expressed his doubts, he does not think that Andy is a blind and arrogant gambler, this young man has a calm and mature far beyond his age, unique vision, delicate mind, decisive killing, JIAN is cold-blooded, it is hard to believe that such a young man would do a risky gamble.
"Maybe I just want to make a huge profit by gambling, and the risk will also increase people's courage and ambition under the continuous reduction of some data, and I have a good team. Andy rolled his eyes, he wasn't interested in discussing with the old fox on the other side about some inexplicable power or the complexity of human xing.
THE OLD MAN'S BRIGHT EYES FLASHING WITH JING LIGHT TOOK A DEEP LOOK AT ANDY, WHO HAD AN INDIFFERENT EXPRESSION, AND SAID NONCOMMITTALLY, "MAYBE." β
"Moody's and Standard & Poor's will not downgrade MBS's rating, at least not in the near future, because they can't go against the entire Wall Street or even the government, and now everyone has seen a huge storm brewing, and they don't know when it will start to wreak havoc, and no one will drop a bomb in the eye of the storm, because the first person to tear apart will be that person, and the first time I saw you, I knew that you knew better than anyone else, and what you did was just for others to see, or more for the future layout, with profits to jump out of the quagmire of preparation!"
Andy stared at the other party's bright eyes without waves, smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and signaled to the other party, touched it and took a sip, "Maybe... β
