Chapter 1265: Let's Fight!
In the study, Andy adjusted his sitting position, his elbows propped on the armrests of the boss's chair, his hands supporting his chin, while listening to the think tank's data analysis of the recent global financial situation and speculation on future market changes, his brain was running rapidly, combined with the little international financial news content in his previous life, making his own judgment.
From the very beginning, the golden finger of the crossing could not let him get too much help from the detailed goals in the financial field, and some only had a big picture, and if he really wanted to make money from the financial market, he would ultimately have to rely on the financial elites in his own hands.
To be honest, if it weren't for some reliance, Andy would never have plunged headlong into this treacherous financial market, he would only honestly buy some gold to hold, buy Apple stocks with a heavy position, and then wait for Bitcoin to appear, prepare a hundred and ten computers as mining machines, eat a lot at the lowest price, and wait to make a fortune.
But once anyone tastes the huge profits brought by the capital game, it is difficult to look at other means of profit.
However, Andy also knows that the capital game is just a means of making money for him, which is acceptable as a side business in his asset allocation, but as the main business, Andy never thought that he would eventually return to the industry.
Speaking of Bitcoin, Andy has been paying attention to various cryptography forums, waiting for the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto to appear, Andy is not interested in knowing who the other party is, but for the success of Bitcoin, no one knows better than him, although he has not been exposed to Bitcoin in his previous life, he has only heard of it, but the high price before the crossing has made him remember it deeply.
As for replacing Satoshi Nakamoto to put forward the concept of regional chain, new pip currency or something, Andy is not interested, even if Bitcoin really appears, Andy will not use wealth to wrap up, an emerging game, the most important thing is the number of players, only the more people play, this game will be more promoted, will there be more market.
When the market grows up, Andy will harvest it again, and it will not be too late at all!
But it's still a bit early to think about this, after all, the Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't appeared yet, Andy's mind Ben pulled back, and saw that in the video window, a subordinate was bending over and whispering something in Al's ear, and Al's face became a little serious.
Andy thought Al would tell him what had happened soon, but by the time the meeting was over.
"What makes you so cautious and serious?" asked Andy, looking at Al in the video with some curiosity.
Robert Peyton, the financial news editor of the Du Li Daily, revealed the news of the secret talks of British financial institutions in successive reports, causing sharp fluctuations in stock prices and was regarded by many as a "market threat".
Now that he has come to the attention of the British government, parliamentarians have asked to investigate Robert's sources. ”
"Hehe, since you are from my newspaper, how can you be easily bullied. Andy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly understood that this was the pawn of the London financial team, and in this period of panic in the global financial market, any wind and grass may cause a chain reaction, and it is undoubtedly the easiest way to stimulate the market by revealing inside information.
It turned out that Robert Payton published a message on the website of "DU Lit-Day" in a report early yesterday morning on the 13th: The CEOs of many large British banks are talking with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alisterdarin and Bank of England Governor Merwenkin in the hope that the government can inject capital into the banks to help them tide over the current difficulties.
Although the Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays Bank later issued statements to refute the rumors, saying that they had not sought help from the government, it was too late. Shares of major British banks plunged at the start of trading on Monday. Among them, the Royal Bank of Scotland fell the most, reaching 20.46%, and billions of pounds in market value evaporated in one day.
The result furious the British Treasury and the major banks, and the two sides began to blame each other, believing that the other side had leaked the news.
And this is not the first time Peyton has dropped a "bombshell". And Robert Payton is not only the ace financial reporter of "Du Libao", but also because he has a very close relationship with British politics and financial circles for a long time, and in 2000, he was the press secretary of British Chancellor of the Exchequer Brown.
Such a good sniper rifle, Andy will never choose to sacrifice, I believe that this time the Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays Bank plummeted, the London group must have gained a lot, since he threw out the first place in profit will get a high proportion of bonuses, these groups under his own hands, completely crazy.
"The British Financial Authority, hehe, let's fight!" Andy said with a sneer, squinting his eyes slightly, touching his chin.
In October, it is late autumn in London, and the autumn sun here is undoubtedly the most luxurious for Londoners. Ignoring the neighborhoods of London where armed clashes took place in demonstrations against the bailout, you can see police cars parked on the side of the road and police officers standing in front of them.
Robert Payton walked to the building where the DU newspaper office was located, amid the questions and photos of many peers.
"Guys, don't pester me, I can't reveal the source. I have never done this and never will. Please let this end here. Thank you. ”
Robert Payton was surrounded in front of the newspaper building, said helplessly, reached out to push away the crowd, walked into the newspaper office quickly, and no longer paid attention to the noisy questions behind him, along the way, the colleagues in the newspaper were concerned about greetings, everyone knew that Robert Payton may face an investigation by financial regulators, which is undoubtedly the least favorite thing to encounter as a reporter.
In the editor-in-chief's office, Simon Garner saw Robert Payton knocking on the door and walking in, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said to Robert Payton, who had a somewhat solemn expression: "Robert, be relaxed, there is good news for you, coffee, or black tea?"
Although Robert was a little curious about the good news that made the editor-in-chief who had a little headache yesterday, he relaxed today, suppressed his curiosity first, squeezed out a smile and said, "Just black tea." ”
Simon Garner took a teacup, picked up the black tea teapot until it was full, handed it to Robert, watched the other party take a sip, and then smiled: "I received a call from the big boss last night, he already knows about you, he respects your choice, and said that the newspaper society fully supports you and defends your rights and journalist rights." ”
"Whew-"
Robert Payton exhaled lightly, and his stiff expression of some sorrow was dispelled with the good news, to be honest, what he was most worried about was that the newspaper would not be able to withstand the pressure of the government to tell him his sources, and then his only way out might be to change jobs.
But it is completely conceivable that he has offended a lot of bankers, and he will be deliberately targeted and excluded. But now it's different, if there is a newspaper support, then he has enough confidence, even if it is a lawsuit, the newspaper will discharge a lawyer to help him deal with it, fighting alone and standing behind the newspaper are two completely different concepts, not to mention, this is the decision of the young Niu 13 boss in the United States, so he doesn't have to worry.
The support of the big boss, who is richer than News Corporation's Murdoch, swept away the anxiety in his heart, and he and the editor-in-chief Simon Garner drank black tea while chatting relaxedly.
"Knock-"
"Come in. ”
"Editor-in-chief, a group of guests came, and they said it was the boss, Mr. Smith... ”
As soon as Simon Garner heard the secretary's words, he hurriedly stood up, waved his hand to interrupt the secretary's introduction, and said, "Robert, come with me, the person sent by our boss has arrived." ”
With a slightly curious look on his face, Robert Payton followed Simon Garner out of the office as he walked briskly.
In the office hall of the newspaper office, a group of straight black suits and leather shoes, the corners of their mouths are slightly upturned, and the gentlemen who always keep a smile are standing there waiting according to the order, the most conspicuous of this group of people is the bald man who is the leader, the suit on his body is not straight, and the shirt is a middle-aged man with a white collar and blue body, and a dark blue tie, with a warm smile on his face, which looks very casual.
Simon Garner was slightly startled when he saw the comer, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands to shake hands with the other party, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Rhodes, it is a great honor to meet you." ”
"Hehe, hello, Ghana Editor-in-Chief, this is Mr. Robert Peyton, I'm Robert Rhodes, and I'm on the commission of Mr. Andy Smith to be your litigator. Rhodes smiled kindly.
Robert Payton naturally knew this Mr. Rhodes, and in the upper class of London, I am afraid that there are very few people who do not know this royal barrister, and they also shook hands with each other very respectfully.
"Let me introduce you to the lawyers, this is Amal Alamuddin, SC, who specializes in international law, criminal law and human rights law. ”
"Hello, I'm Amal Allah Muddin, and I'm in charge of Mr. Peyton's human rights protection... "A beautiful woman with charming curly hair, wearing a gray tailor-made exquisite suit and a camel-colored trench coat, a tall and slender figure, and a delicate face with obvious exotic origin, smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to Simon Garner, and Robert Payton shook hands.
"What a Legally Blonde!" this is Simon and Robert's heartfelt sigh after being amazed.
