Chapter 993: The Color of Talking Changes, and Fear Like a Tiger (Seven Watches)

"Who is it? Oh, Boris, are you sure you want to know? you owe me twice... ”

After a night of fierce battles, in the early morning, Andy was woken up by the phone, helped Lima, who was tired and still asleep, covered the blanket, picked up a nightgown from the ground and put it on, yawned, and teased with the phone as he walked.

"Hi Andy, you know that my campaign has reached a critical time, the answer will be revealed in May, I am determined to win the Mayor of London, as a good friend of mine, you will support me, right?"

Hearing the big-mouthed Boris Johnson's set, Andy showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and still said with a smile: "Of course, man, of course I support you, but, Boris, this is the third time... ”

"Damn, dear friend, don't worry, I'll help you settle the matter on the White Hart Lane Stadium as soon as I take over, oh my God, you're such a bastard!"

"Hey, Boris, don't you want to be at a loss, okay! How many jobs can a new stadium solve in London? Now that the world is laying off workers, and a large number of people are unemployed, I'm helping you!" Andy sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, took the fresh juice handed by the maid, and laughed as he drank it.

"Damn, but you want pure land, a guarantee from the City of London, and an interest-free loan for the money to build the stadium, oh my God, you greedy guy, well, maybe that's why you're in the Forbes 20th!"

Andy sneered, "Boris, don't forget, Tottenham is one of the low-income family settlements in London, the highest unemployment rate and the poorest area in London, if your city government doesn't come forward, how much time and money will it take for me to buy that land?"

Also, the new stadium will bring new economic vitality and give the poor people a career option to make ends meet, otherwise, hehe, those idle young people will use riots and violence to get your attention!"

"Alright, alright, man, you're always right, I also want that forgotten area to get better, it's already a matter of kinship in London, and I'm going to do my best to make this happen, and if it doesn't work out, I'll agree and help you move the stadium away from Tottenham... Okay, damn it, can you tell me who's who is now?"

"Hehe, who else can it be, ranked 46th on the world's richest list, the godfather of the prince, the richest man in the United Kingdom, the Duke of Westminster... Andy said with a somewhat sinister hehe.

"Shhhh

Boris's gasp came over the phone, followed by a deep breath, "Andy, Andy, my dearest friend, please don't expose it... Damn, he's going to make Britain the laughing stock of the world... ”

Andy hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words, he didn't want to listen to Boris's chatter, but from Boris's words he had already learned that the report had made it difficult for the unclean politicians of the whole of Britain to sleep, and they were all worried about themselves and suffering the same bad luck as Spitzer.

"Nima, the British just don't owe it, didn't you still gloat before, didn't you think it's a big hype? Now I'm going to kill you!"

Meanwhile, at 5 a.m. New York time, Paulson, Geithner, Bernanke, and Cox of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission held a conference call and connected MG Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

"Bear Stearns' failure would be a disaster for the market, the key is to get Bear Stearns through this time... MG Chase's Dimon stressed on the phone.

"The problem is that your offer is now unacceptable to the entire Wall Street and the shareholders and employees who own a third of Bear Stearns' shares, and I want you to think about the purchase price again!" Mr. Bernanke said, glancing at Treasury Secretary Paulson next to him, into the phone.

"Well, we'll need a day to sort through Bear Stearns' books, and we'll quote again before nightfall... ”

"Dimon, I was on the phone with former Fed Chair Paul Volcker, and he also said that the situation is very dire and is likely to get worse. If Bear Stearns falls, it will let the situation spiral out of control. I hope you'll think about it!" Fed President Ben Bernanke said in a heavy tone.

。。。。。。

After the call, Bernanke looked at Treasury Secretary Paulson next to him and said, "What does the president say?"

The president has expressed support for the rescue of Bear Stearns, and he will address the Athletic Club in New York later in the evening, and has removed the phrase "who will not help" in the speech. Paulson said with a slight nod.

"I'm afraid, without the support of the Federal Reserve, MG Chase will not take over Bear Stearns... ”

Paulson was slightly stunned, and looked at Bernanke, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a somewhat stunned expression, "What's going on again?"

"Nearly three-quarters of Bear Stearns' assets are subprime loans, which he won't want regardless of the price... ”

"Shet!" Paulson's face darkened, and his expression was filled with helplessness and anger as he slapped the table, "These bastards!

"I also understand that no one can predict how many financial institutions will need money or how much they will borrow. If the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the Fed will also suffer heavy losses, and in the end, in order to avoid the collapse of the financial system, it will still pass on the losses to the Nashui people, and save Wall Street's interests at the expense of the public interest. As a result, the Fed's own creditworthiness will be greatly weakened.

Wall Street is now like a sieve full of holes, with a school of greedy sharks swimming outside, waiting for the right moment to pounce... β€œ

There was dead silence in the small conference room, except for a few helpless sighs as there was a knock on the door.

"Gerald, haven't you slept all night?" Paulson asked with a frown and concern when he saw the chief staff member walking in, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was a little excited.

"Minister, I know who Gaia's next target is!"

Paulson didn't react a little, but he looked at the excited expressions of his staff, blinked his eyes, and then thought of something and asked with some eagerness, "Andy Smith?"

"Yes, their next target is Merrill Lynch, which has lost up to $15 billion on mortgage investments。。。。。。 ”

Paulson and Bernanke looked at each other, both seeing concern in each other's eyes, listening to the staff's explanations and the various data analyses displayed in front of them.

"So, they have almost completed the layout, and when to start the plan, I don't know, according to my speculation about Andy Smith's character and the past cases of his think tank, they are very fond of borrowing the general trend of the market, and they are very good at pushing BO to help the fire, because once the scale is formed, even if it is good news or bailouts, they can also take advantage of the time difference and leave, they took three months to complete the layout, this time maybe Merrill Lynch is more serious than Bear Stearns!"

Paulson and Bernanke's faces changed at the same time, and they were more than afraid of Andy Smith, who had a huge amount of cash and was on a rampage everywhere!
