The wonderful dusk arrived as scheduled, and the golden sunlight shining from the tops of the dense skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan immediately dyed everything in front of me golden.

In the black Maybach that had just crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, Andy frowned, took his mobile phone and called Hamilton, the chief of staff of the US Treasury Secretary, and told the other party directly that he wanted to buy the deposit business of Washington Mutual.

But as he had guessed when Warren Buffett warned him, the other party said 'sorry' after a long silence.

"Who is it?!" Andy's voice revealed this huge resentment and resentment, making Hamilton, who was holding the phone opposite, smile wryly, and Andy could clearly hear someone next to him say, "Tell him." ”

Then Hamilton said helplessly: "MG Chase, it will be announced later... ”

"How much?" Andy's eyes narrowed slightly, the words almost squeezed out of his teeth, and his tone became more and more cold.

"$1.9 billion ... ”

Andy hung up the phone directly, holding the phone tightly in his hand, and his muscles burst out, almost crushing the phone.

"Hehe... ”

Andy's low and hoarse voice came from the carriage like a night owl, and the originally handsome face became unusually hideous, and the burning anger had reached the critical point of the outburst, but there was nowhere to go...

Of the $130 billion deposit base, 5,400 branches sold only $1.9 billion!

At this moment, Andy realized that even if he was a traverser, there was still a world of difference between him and these real prehistoric monsters, they were the real top predators, who could play with the country and the people at will.

The night of Manhattan slowly fell, standing under the Brooklyn Bridge, by the East River, on the other side of the Lower Manhattan River, the most densely populated skyscraper in the world, the sun set, the fiery clouds stained the sky red, the lights gradually brightened, slowly, the red turned into rose red, and the blue sky became one.

Some cool autumn wind blew the black hair messy, and the slim suit was hunted by the wind, and at this moment Andy's face had no expression at all, only the eyes in his eyes became more and more cold.

Exhaled a breath of turbidity, Andy's cold face showed a self-deprecating smile, maybe his previous somewhat dizzy anger was out of annoyance, he should really take a photo and keep it, and when his child asked him to explain the word in the future, he took it out and pointed to the photo and said, "Look, this is annoyance!"

Thinking that he was still jumping up and down and waiting to eat the fat of the Mutual Bank, it seems particularly ridiculous now, maybe the Washington Mutual Bank died under the calculation of MG Chase, and was ready to swallow this prey from the beginning, and would not give anyone else a chance at all.

It seems that his journey has been so smooth that he has almost forgotten what kind of existence the real predator level in the United States is!

When I was still working hard for tens of billions, I was already 2. The scale of 5 trillion dollars is still one of the owners of the Federal Reserve...

"What a gap!"

Walking back to the car, the bodyguard opened the car door, Andy sat in the car, calming down more and more, this incident was like a crisp slap in the face, waking up a little smug and a trace of arrogance for his achievements.

In front of the door, Ivana, who was wearing a sundress, looked at Andy, who had a somewhat ugly face, but still squeezed out a smile, and didn't ask what's wrong, she had almost never seen Andy in this state, just gently held his cheeks with both hands, sent a fragrant EN, and then took his bear waist and stuck it in his arms, and walked into the house.

Washington Mutual, founded in 1889, was overwhelmed by the subprime mortgage crisis and finally became the protagonist of the largest bank failure in American history on the afternoon of its 119th anniversary.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington Mutual is the largest savings bank in the United States, with $307 billion in assets and $188 billion in deposits...

Analysts believe that the collapse of Washington Mutual is not unexpected. The bank suffered heavy losses in the subprime mortgage crisis, and the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded its credit rating on the 24th.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which took over Washington Mutual, recently sold the bank's deposit business and branches to MG Chase for $1.9 billion. But the exact structure of the deal, which marks the end of Washington Mutual, once the nation's largest mortgage savings institution, is unclear.

The FDIC said the deal would not have any impact on Washington Mutual's depositors and other customers, and would not require access to the company's deposit insurance fund.

Through the acquisition, MG Chase will acquire 5,400 Washington Mutual branches in 23 states...

AMC News Channel is here to cover you live in Seattle. ”

Looking at Andy, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, staring at the TV with a gloomy face, Ivana reached out to hold his hand with some worry, snuggled up to his shoulder, and said softly: "No matter what happens, you are the most amazing lover and best friend I have ever dreamed of!"

Andy was slightly stunned, and then reached out to take Ivana into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: "You are also the lover I dreamed of making me crazy, I love you! Don't worry, it's nothing, it's just a little setback in business, come on, let's go to dinner." ”

Seeing that the smile on Andy's face became much brighter, Ivana relaxed a little, looked at Andy with a little fan girl expression, showed a sweet smile, and whispered a few words in Andy's ear with a slightly red face.

"Really, then I'm going to have to check the quality of the new suit, it seems like I'm going to work harder, as long as you don't beg for mercy... Andy heard Ivana's words, his eyes glowed green, and he sighed, raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Ivana winked at her, then stood up and picked up Andy and walked towards the restaurant together.

“e ere both young hen I first sa you。。。 ”

When dinner was almost over, the music of Taylor's new album "Love Story", which Taylor wrote for him, sounded, Andy put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at it, and said to the curious Ivana: "It's grandpa's phone." ”

"Well, take it. Ivana also put down her knife and fork, wiped the red with a napkin, walked into the kitchen, picked up the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee, and sent it to Andy, who had walked out of the dining room and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, overlooking the night view of Manhattan, listening to the phone with a cold face.

Andy took the coffee, with a smile on his face, nodded at Ivana, and looked at Ivana's back, the expression on his face became cold again.

"Some people are worried that something is wrong on your side, let me call to appease you, hehe, their appearance this time is really too ugly, that phone call you gave Hamilton made them smell trouble, the basic deposit amount of 20 billion US dollars will be transferred to Yingtai Bank, you don't have to explore this matter privately. ”

Listening to Old Smith's relaxed and indifferent tone on the phone, the corners of Andy's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, revealing a self-deprecating sneer, and his voice was a little hoarse and smiled: "They are too worried, how can they take it in their eyes as a little person like me." ”

"Hehe, learn to control anger, anger will lower your wisdom, don't hate, hatred will make you lose judgment. You have to be not as lethal as you think, after all, the few things you have done have already brought up a lot of people, otherwise, do you think they will give benefits in exchange for your silence? Isn't this their fear and helplessness?

You don't have to investigate, let me tell you, since the beginning of September, they have used unconventional means to disclose confidential information about aMu (short for Mutual Bank) to regulators, which led to the FDIC's intervention in the investigation and the speedy completion of the seizure and takeover. The FDIC and MG completed the transaction quickly during the bankruptcy liquidation and the short period of the sale. ”

Hearing Grandpa Smith tell the truth, Andy couldn't help but sneer: "Commercial espionage... Mutual bankers don't rest on their laurels. ”

"Hehe, whether they are willing or not, there are no mutual banks anymore, are they? ”

“。。。 Phew-" Andy's expression changed, and finally exhaled a sullen breath, and then laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, should I thank them for looking at me like this, 20 billion deposit base, hehe, my Yingtai Bank can increase in value." ”

Old Smith's chuckle came from the phone.

"Kid, don't rush, take your time!"
