Chapter 880: Another bastard of the Smith family
"Andy, what do you think of the Major League Baseball doping scandal, the Dodgers... β
"Andy, what do you have to say about the general strike of the Writers Guild... β
"Will the subprime mortgage crisis really drag global stock markets into a bear market?"
At the thank-you reception after the press conference of NBA Celestial Empire, Andy was surrounded by reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors, surrounded by all kinds of questions.
In the spacious press conference hall, not far from where Andy was fenced off, several shareholders of the Celestial Empire watched with some surprise with champagne, while some other shareholders who were still on the side of reporters, including NBA commissioner David Stern, chatted with a few people indifferently.
"Don't be surprised, in the United States, where he appears, everyone else will become a supporting role, don't you see that those people are ignored by reporters. The senior executive who attended the press conference on behalf of Fantasy Computer smiled and explained to several other compatriots.
"This young man is really powerful enough, some time ago he opened a bottle of champagne worth millions at a cocktail party held in Tianya Province, which has made many people still talk about it. β
"By the way, aren't you fanciing to be a partner with him? β
"What kind of partner, the main thing is that we have advertising business dealings with several of his newspapers, and the people who contact us are his subordinates, okay, this time it's no show, and this group of reporters has him off again... β
Andy was almost annoyed by the group of reporters who kicked his nose in the face, and under the blockage of the bodyguards, he chatted casually with David Stern, said hello to several shareholders and the team's owner, and then left the press conference.
Sitting in the car, Andy took out his mobile phone and called Badstone, "How much has the index fallen now?"
"The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 277.04 points, or 2.17%, at 12,501.11, and the Nasdaq Composite is down 60.71 points, or 2.45%, at 2,417.59... β
"Most of the declines are around two percent, and it looks like the Asian stock market is going to be doomed. Andy tapped his fingers on the armrest of the car seat, and was very pleased with the continuous decline of the global stock market. After all, his gold futures holdings have soared to $905 an ounce, and the more the stock market falls, the safe-haven funds will run into the gold market to help him push up the price of gold.
"The S&P 500 fell in the first 10 trading days of this year, the largest decline since 1978. The Nikkei has also posted its worst start to the new year since 1970, with markets in Sweden, Poland, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore extending losses from last year's highs and falling by more than 20%, in line with the general definition of a bear market. β
"Hehe, let's fall, aren't we just waiting for the global general fall, I heard that the Morgan Stanley World Index has fallen by 7% since the beginning of this year, and the market value has evaporated by 2.1 trillion US dollars? β
Hearing Andy Smith's gloating laughter on the phone, Bardstone also shook his head and laughed, "By the way, boss, after the decline in retail sales in the United States at the beginning of the new year, and Citigroup's largest quarterly loss in history, the third group in the company began to short Morgan Stanley, so, boss, you are making money again... β
"Wow, I've got a bunch of great guys, how many knives did they bring me back?" There's nothing better for Andy than hearing that he's making money again.
"About 10 million, no way, most of our funds are in gold futures, and they don't have much money to use. β
"Hehe, it's already very good, didn't the Bank of America loan arrive in the afternoon? I will allocate 500 million to you, let the young men choose the target hunt freely, and tell them that when the hunt is over, each group can get 10% of the hunting income as a reward!"
Andy directly opened the floodgates and let a group of vicious wolves into the mountain, believing that for his own bright future, his group of hungry wolves will try to bite their prey by all means, as for whether it will cause panic in the market, heheda, close Andy's!
The curtain of the subprime mortgage crisis has long been opened, and the frenzied remedy of a drop in the bucket has only slowed down the time of the financial turmoil, and when the fallen dominoes climb the slope and begin to move downward, the speed will be even more swift and unprepared.
"Stop the car. β
After Andy gave the driver a command, the car slowly pulled over to the side of the road, the door was opened by Kenny, and Andy stepped down, looked at the Tiffany window directly opposite, and climbed the stairs.
After about ten minutes, Andy walked out with a large water-green bag in his hand, sat in the car under the sideways gaze of some passers-by, and then took out six small square boxes from the big bag, opened the car locker and put it in.
Since you make money, of course, you have to spend money, and if you spend money, what can make a man happy and have a sense of accomplishment more than a Pomeranian smile, not to mention that you will get more intimate waiting at night, maybe you can add a meal or something.
"Wow, they're so pretty!Thank you, dear, I love this set of skyscraper designs that render New York dΓ©cor, po~"
Ivana happily sat in Andy's arms, her right hand wrapped around Andy's neck, her left hand held a diamond necklace that sparkled with charming brilliance, and a large long jewelry box was placed on the table, followed by a pair of earrings, bracelets, and flower-shaped rings, the design of the whole set of jewelry was inspired by the grandeur of New York skyscrapers, which was very unique.
"It's good if you like it, but I really want to thank me, you can wear them at night, let me enjoy them in the light, I think, you will be even more charming... β
"Giggles, just wear them? Maybe it's a good idea... β
The next morning, Andy woke up from his sleep, let go of his claws that had been used to grasping at sleep, and lowered his head to brush Ivana's hair that was facing away from him and sticking to his arms.
Remembering the bright light that hung low in the air and swayed in the light all night last night, he smashed his mouth, for women with dragon blood, the sparkling things would make them extremely excited, and also let Andy enjoy a more delicate service without missing dead ends.
OF COURSE, FOR ANDY TO MAINTAIN HIS OBSESSION WITH HIMSELF FOR A LONG TIME, IVANA IS ALSO WILLING TO INDULGE HER BOYFRIEND, AFTER ALL, THE BIGGEST SORROW BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN IS NOT SPLITTING LEGS, BUT LOSING EACH OTHER'S ATTRACTION AND NOT BEING EXCITED.
Knowing that Andy has an inexplicable conquest of her, so as soon as she arrives at Chuang, Ivana willingly becomes Andy's trophy and is at his mercy, not so much that Andy conquered Ivana, but that Ivana is trapping Andy step by step, making him have a serious psychological dependence.
In short, the degree of compatibility between the dog man and the woman has reached the point where they can't get rid of each other.
On the breakfast table, Ivana's face was full of red light, her moisturized skin was shiny, and the sweet smile on the corner of her mouth never disappeared.
"Will the deal be done this morning?"
"Well, after the press conference, I will officially join the board of directors of Bloomberg Limited Partnership, and later I will become vice president and integrate all of Bloomberg's media teams to form Bloomberg Media Group. Andy laughed as he chewed on the beef.
"My dear, I always feel that Michael Bloomberg will not be so easy to hand over this part of the business to you, even if there is no problem now, but after the integration in the future, if he is... β
"Hehe, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I've found someone to rival Bloomberg, and I believe he will have a way to deal with these potential threats. Andy's eyes smiled like crescent moons, but how to look at it gave people a sinister feeling.
Ivana blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked curiously, "Who?"
"My uncle, Justin Smith, a villain who can bring the dead back to life!"
γγγγγγ
"Hey, Andy, is that how you welcome your uncle? Damn, I'm not your enemy, well, I'd apologize if I could make you forget the unpleasantness of the past... Ah. β
Andy was tightening his arms with a wicked smile and hugging the well-dressed Justin Smith fiercely, Justin's face turned red, listening to his chatter and ridicule, Andy increased his strength a little more.
"OK, OK, I apologize, who knows you remember that. β
"Damn, how could I have forgotten that you humiliated me in front of everyone... Andy gritted his teeth and glared at Justin Smith, who was smiling wryly and moving his arms.
"Hey, don't blame me, you provoked first, it's my job to do public relations for the Rifle Association, and you say I'm an executioner in front of everyone, I naturally want to explain the truth to you clearly, but I didn't expect you to cry aggrieved... By the way, you were 15 years old ... β
Looking at Justin Smith, who had no guilt on his face, Andy, who had a blue bend on his forehead, knew that he couldn't say anything, so he could only stretch out his hand and raise his middle finger elegantly and respectfully.
