Chapter 421: Black Monday with a slap in the face

Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ivana was wearing a white bathrobe, her long golden hair was slightly damp, and a pair of slender white legs sat cross-legged on the soft and wide sofa, holding a stack of newspapers in both hands, and the bright sunlight shining on her through the floor-to-ceiling windows made this morning warm and leisurely.

Andy, wearing a bathrobe with a white towel around his neck, and wiping his wet hair in his hand, walked up to her and sat down, glanced at the newspaper, and found that it was the inaugural issue of his newspaper's daily newspaper, "Honey, what do you think of the contents of the newspaper?"

"Hmmm... It's not bad, but the headline on the front page is a bit scary, especially today, and I think a lot of people will feel like fake news. My dad's interview was good, giggles, he's sure he's going to show it off again, after all, it's with Mr. President and so many other celebrities in the inaugural issue of a daily newspaper. ”

Ivana showed Andy the newspaper with her father's picture and smiled happily.

Andy shrugged and said: "The choice to publish the news of the bursting of the real estate bubble in the inaugural issue today is deliberate, and some people may not think so, or some people may have realized the problem for a long time, no matter what the situation is, tomorrow, everyone will wake up in the morning and find that the whole world has changed." ”

Ivana looked sideways at her boyfriend's slightly indifferent handsome face with a little confusion, and then looked down at the headline of the newspaper in her hand, her pupils shrank involuntarily, she turned her body suddenly, reached out to grab Andy's arm, and asked eagerly, "Is there something big going to happen tomorrow?"

Andy glanced down at the front of the bathrobe, and a proud peak of white and round came into view, and couldn't help but smash his lower lips, spread his hand and said: "The dominoes that have already collapsed will usher in the first critical node, and after that... ”

Ivana looked at her boyfriend's bland expression of "you imagined it yourself" with a worried face, and smiled bitterly, "How do I feel that you especially want the real estate to crash... Wait, you can't buy CDO insurance, do you?"

Andy's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he reached out to pinch her pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "What a smart woman." ”

"Hmph! No wonder it's always a look of fear that the world will not be chaotic, the real estate crash, our group is going to suffer huge losses... How much did you buy?" Ivana pursed her red lips and snorted coldly, one rolled over and straddled Andy's lap, stretched out her jade hand and squeezed both of Andy's cheeks hard, causing his face to change shape.

"Woo, all... Worth, billion... Andy received a call from Alvitre when he woke up in the morning, the latest news, New Century Financial Company has been forced to debt by Wall Street this morning 17.4 billion US dollars, if today is not a weekend, the government department does not work, today will be the day they announced to file for bankruptcy protection, however, this time seems to be delayed until tomorrow.

"What? God... Ivana's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and she looked at Andy, who was squeezed by her own face and deformed, with a frightened face, as if she was stuck, frozen on the spot.

Goo-dong.

Ivana swallowed in disbelief, and her lips trembled slightly, "Crazy... Honey, are you crazy? Short mortgage securities... ”

It seems that he reacted, the real estate bubble burst, and the bonds became garbage, seeing Andy squeezing his eyes at himself and raising his eyebrows, a scream rang out in the living room.

"Oh God, oh, God, oh... Ivana looked ecstatic and shouted God while holding Andy's face and kissing it.

"It's crazy, my dear, it's crazy! Oh my God... Ivana lost her face, her face flushed, and she hugged Andy's face tightly in her arms with excitement, almost suffocating Andy with her proud upper circumference.

Ivana is not a financial novice, she graduated from the Wharton School of Business, not to mention that she is very professional in finance, but also very familiar with it, she knows very well what Andy's gamble represents, several times, or even more than ten times the profit makes her rich daughter unable to calm down, it is a billion-dollar gamble, she feels that she is almost high~! CHAO.

"Honey, carry me back to bed... ”

Andy looked at Ivana with overflowing water in his eyes, and without hesitation, he picked up her Feng Tun, got up from the sofa, and chuckled: "You little sao goods... ”

The bedroom door closed again, and Andy's laughing voice could be heard, "Tsk, it's all like this... ”

No wonder some people say that power and money are the best burners, and even a person like Ivana, who was born with a golden spoon, cannot calmly face billions of dollars of wealth.

Andy and Ivana, who have begun to look forward to the collapse of the real estate as soon as possible, started a whole day of unashamed You have me, I have you in the world of two.

The outside world does not seem to have caused much turmoil because of the new newspaper "World Observer", but some people who know the inside story and are aware of the real estate crisis have begun to purposefully verify some of the data in the report.

As for the American real estate developers at the center of the storm, they are jumping to their feet and cursing alarmist reports, while borrowing money to alleviate their difficulties.

Of course, after all, it is a new newspaper, and it is more than a little less authoritative and influential.

It wasn't until the early morning of Monday, April 2, that the New York Observer and Newsweek, which sold 4 million subscriptions, were delivered to thousands of homes as the steel city woke up and people got up early to get ready for a busy week.

Readers were drawn to the cold black cover and judgmental headline.

At the dinner table this morning, everyone frowned, and all kinds of worries and gloom shrouded people's hearts.

"The Dominoes That Began to Collapse - An In-Depth Report on the U.S. Housing Bubble. -- Newsweek"

"Bursting bubbles, real estate apocalypse's dying throes!" - The New York Observer

It seems that the bright sunshine over New York did not bring people a good mood on this spring morning, but made the deep worry and happiness on the faces of many people more obvious.

The reports of the two weekly magazines are not comparable to any new newspaper, a large amount of data, analysis by industry insiders, and photos of the barren grass and empty buildings in various places, all convey a message to readers, that is, there is a real estate problem in the United States, and it is a big problem.

Readers who have a house in their hands and are repaying their loans have already felt that they are distressed by the rapid increase in loan interest rates in the past year and a half.

People who speculate on real estate have long been unable to sell the property they have squeezed, and the money earned from speculation has already paid the down payment on other properties, and the numerous bank reminder letters in their hands make it difficult for them to face.

The dancers have long since moved out of their new houses and returned to the stage, and all kinds of low-income people who were able to take out loans to buy houses have long since fled from their new houses where they can constantly receive dunning bills and live on the streets again, while more low-paid people with dreams have their dreams shattered and are homeless.

No picture, no truth!

The empty new housing block, infested only by homeless people and stray dogs, is a ghost town, full of wooden signs for sale owned by banks. Algae-infested pools, even crocodiles-infested outdoor pools, grassy lawns and gardens...

It is all showing everyone the fact that the real estate boom that has lasted for many years is over!

Of course, there are always people who don't admit defeat, and there is never a shortage of people who don't want to face reality, Andy watched with a smile as the real estate experts invited by major TV stations made a big statement on TV, and still advocated that American real estate has never crashed, but the short-term adjustment of the market.

What's more, the spearhead was aimed at two weekly magazines, aimed at Andy, alarmist, irresponsible, and some people even took out Andy's fund company to short CDS to make a statement, attacking Andy for bad intentions.

At a time when the drama was getting louder and the TV programs were getting more and more explosive, at 10 a.m. New York time, all the news programs received breaking news breaks.

"According to the news just received, New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on April 2, 2007 that it was unable to repay its $17.4 billion debt on time, and decided to lay off 54% of its employees... ”

It's like a duck that has been choked by the neck, the previous quacking is even more pale and weak, and the experts are stunned in front of the camera, their expressions are frightened, their faces are red, and the dead duck's mouth is hard to open and close, but he can't say a word.
