Although the major banks on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and even the U.S. government do not believe it, do not want it, and even use various means to stop the decline of the mortgage securities market. But the market is a market after all, and it is not subject to human will.

For Wall Street companies that open their eyes and talk nonsense, and even still want to fool others to take over, they are also doing their last death throes.

Badstone's fatal stab at the time of his departure made Bear Stearns' still dreaming executives completely sober, and no one was going to save them, but the former friends may have prepared knives and forks, and sat down at the table one by one, waiting for them to take their last breath and compete for the tastiest part.

The U.S. stock market did not rest at noon, and by the time the afternoon closed, the news had already spread all over Wall Street.

Looking at Bear Stearns' stock price, which began to plummet in the final stage, in the CEO's office of Liberty City Investments, Badstone leaned back in the boss's chair with a blank face, his arms and elbows propped on the armrests, and his hands played with a fountain pen.

"I really like what my boss said, in fact, deep down, everyone is looking forward to the end of the world! And today, Bear Stearns is waiting for Judgment Day, and this may be the day that Wall Street is waiting for. With a smile on his lips, Alvitatre lowered his head and turned his fingers back and forth along the rim of the coffee cup.

"The lake is too quiet, even if the underwater has already become a whirlpool, and I just threw down a pebble, so that the game will start, all the sharks hidden around will surface, the boss has been laid out since last year, until today, it has been realized one by one, the boss is too capable, the value of us people is not reflected. Now, the boss has given us a chance, and if we want to be successful, then show our real skills, and the opportunity is there. Badstone glanced at Al and said lightly.

Alvitatre is different from his status and function, he needs results to show Andy that he is worthy, even if his investment philosophy is still conservative, but if this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not daring to play, then it can really be rolled up and walked away.

"We'll see, you're the person in charge, I'm just an assistant, as long as you don't touch the red line of danger, you can choose your target at will. Al shrugged and laughed.

Los Angeles.

Andy smiled, looked at Ivana, who was showing off her new clothes in front of her, picked up the mobile phone that sounded next to her, opened the text message and glanced at it, and the smile on her face was even brighter.

"How's that? I love this high-waisted design... Ivana looked in the mirror, spun her body back and forth, let the hem of her skirt fly, and asked happily.

"It's not bad, it's just a little transparent, remember to put a RU sticker on me when you wear it. Andy locked the phone screen, looked up at Ivana's proud upper circumference once again appeared clearly highlighted, and reminded.

Ivana rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, unzipped from the side seam, took off her dress, and did not shy away from picking up another one and putting it on.

"Come and help me pull it... I will go back to New York the day after tomorrow, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the 17th time, the federal funds rate has been raised to 5.25%, interest rates have risen sharply, the burden of home buyers to repay loans is heavier, our company has also appeared many more high-quality customers who can not repay the loan on time, you once said that the middle class is affected, I am afraid it is unavoidable, and the construction market is completely sluggish, BO and the entire real estate chain... Nasty, don't make a fuss!"

Ivana slapped away her boyfriend's dishonest big hand with disgust, turned her delicate body from side to side, and looked at the effect of the clothes she was wearing in the mirror.

"It's useless for you to go back... ANDY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND IVANA'S WAIST FROM BEHIND, LOOKED AT THE IMAGE OF THE TWO IN THE MIRROR, AND BURIED HIS FACE IN HER SLENDER PINK, "IT'S BETTER TO STAY HERE WITH ME AND LET ME LOVE YOU WELL... ”

"Whew~" Ivana's fair pretty face was slightly red, her neck was tilted, her eyes were blurred, she let her boyfriend come to Hu, turned around her hands around his neck, raised her pretty face and murmured: "Every time I stay with you for one more day, the more reluctant I am to leave." Aren't you going to San Francisco too, you can't be obsessed with that kind of thing all the time? And your tricks are getting more and more, which makes me very distressed... ”

"Our cooperation has always been very tacit, and the quality is so high, you should be happy... ”

Unpacking and touching the equipment little expert Andy divided by two to let both of them disarm and Ivana EN together. . .

In the evening, Liu Yan in the kitchen shook her head helplessly, when the little couple came back in the past few days, she had not been able to appear in the restaurant on time, she couldn't go up to call the two, standing on the stairs she could hear the sound from the bedroom, which really made her speechless, and the foreigner was really open enough.

It's really hard to imagine that the usually elegant and noble daughter will be tossed incoherently.

Liu Yan, who was about to keep the food warm, heard the sound of slippers walking down the stairs, wiped her hands with her apron, walked out of the kitchen, saw Andy walking down in a T-shirt and shorts, and asked, "Andy, the meal is ready, can you eat it now?"

"Well, thank you, Aunt Liu, Ivana will come down right away. Andy walked into the dining room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and drank it with a clatter.

Stomp ...

Ivana twisted her long golden hair into a bun with her arms held high and fixed it with a tie rope, while looking down at the steps, quickly went downstairs, her rosy face was full of indissolable chun, and the two-piece silk pajamas on her body fluttered as she walked.

"I'm sorry for you, Miss Liu. Ivana smiled and took the juice that Liu Yan handed her and thanked her.

Liu Yan smiled and began to bring the food to the table for the two of them, Huaxia cuisine, Ivana has fallen in love with Liu Yan's craftsmanship in the past few days, and she has completely lost her resistance to Huaxia cuisine, which used to feel very greasy.

"My dear, we should really go to the rabbit country to taste all kinds of food there, to see the house where the emperor lives, and the Great Wall... ”

Hearing Ivana's words, Andy smiled and said, "Next year, let's have a good walk during the Olympics." ”

Historical monuments, beautiful rivers and mountains, unique culture, you will like it, oops, I almost forgot, Andy is a Huaxia expert, hehe. ”

Liu Yan said happily, but as she spoke, she thought of the thick Chinese books in Andy's study, as well as some Chinese books that she was not interested in reading, such as "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Caigen Tan", this genius writer is a real Huaxia expert.

Andy shook his head and smiled, "It's just that other people are interested, and if you know more, it's not a good idea." ”

"By the way, speaking of the Rabbit Country, how is Emily doing, has the investment company opened up the situation?" Ivana asked casually.

"It's not bad, several companies in the rabbit country have already invested, and Emily's talent is beyond doubt. Andy laughed as he ate his meal. "This time I went to Thailand to participate in the Universiade, I will stop by to have a look, and meet Ali's Jackma, as a shareholder, I always have to go to see it. ”

"Then when you go, bring me some gifts for Emily, she loves Chanel, bring her a few pieces. ”

Originally, Andy wanted to say that there were also places in the rabbit country to sell them, but when he heard that it was a fashion item, he obediently shut up and nodded to indicate that he knew.

4 August 2007.

Rabbit Country Bank's announcement of an increase in the amount of provisions for subprime housing credit in the United States has made the world aware that the problem is not just for HSBC, but for the entire global banking industry.

Global banking stocks fell broadly.

The nightmare of the subprime mortgage crisis is rapidly spreading from the United States to the world, and the world has to face the financial tsunami that has begun to ferment.

Ivana stood at the door of the plane with some reluctance, waving goodbye to her boyfriend under the gangway.

Standing in the distance on the private tarmac, watching the Boeing plane taxiing into the air at a rapid pace, Andy put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the empty runway, squinting, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the phone in his pocket rang that he was pulled back to reality.
