Chapter 519: Wall Street Predators (Thank you for your rewards)

When Andy took the caddie who helped him carry the golf equipment to the green golf course as far as the eye could see, he saw Warren Buffett stopping to talk and laugh with a few people, and several caddies were not far away.

"HEHE, HE'S HERE, THIS LITTLE SMITH IS AS BRIGHT AND DIFFICULT AS HIS GRANDFATHER, IT'S A PITY THAT HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN POLITICS. Warren Buffett looked at Andy, who was walking in their direction after getting out of the car, and smiled at a few people around him.

"The shortcomings of the Smith family have been made up by him, and we should invest more in the future. ”

"Hehe, you bankers don't have a position at all, especially you Citi. ”

"Who cares, the elephant party and the donkey party, no matter who comes to power, interests come first... ”

Warren Buffett shook his head and glanced at everyone with a smile, and when Andy walked by, he said with a smile: "Andy, just wait for you, I'll introduce you to new friends first." ”

Andy shook hands with Warren Buffett with a smile, looked at the other three people standing on both sides with kind smiles, and couldn't help but smile and nod his head, he knew all three of them, because they were all big names on Wall Street.

This is Dick Grasso, CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Sandy Weil of Citibank, and Maurice Greenberg of AIG. ”

"It's an honor to meet all three. Andy shook hands with the three big men calmly, and said with a smile on his face.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a young man as good as you, and I've seen your profile, it's a business miracle. As the chairman of the board of directors of AIG Insurance Company, which has the title of the No. 1 insurance family in the United States, Morris Greenberg, although he is very old, is still in good spirits, old and strong, and praises Andy with a smile without hesitation.

"Thank you for the compliment, your experience is legendary. Andy showed humility in his compliment to Morris, and lost no time in complimenting him, not only because of Greenberg's age, but also because the old man's legendary experience is indeed worthy of admiration.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to compliment each other, come on, let's kick off first. Warren Buffett stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the caddies quickly stepped forward and handed their guests clubs.

"Thank you. Andy smiled at the caddie and thanked him before taking the club, because he remembered what his father, Auston, had said, "Playing golf, no matter what your skill is, be nice to your caddie, that's the most important thing in golf."

Morris was the first to tee, then Warren Buffett, Andy was the last to tee, and because he has played a bit more in recent times, he has also got a set of indoor practice equipment in the office, and his skills have also improved a lot.

After the tee-off, the caddies took the clubs and stayed far behind a few people, Warren Buffett walked very vigorously, and he didn't look old at all, "Do you know why many people like to talk about things on the golf course?"

The others all looked at Andy with a smile on their faces, and Andy chuckled lightly, straightened the gloves on his hands, and said, "In addition to talking about things while exercising, in my opinion, the open and vast stadium is a great place to worry about other people knowing what is being said." ”

Andy's answer made several people laugh, "No wonder everyone says that you are an extremely cautious person, people of your age, but few people can think of this. The rapid development of modern science and technology has brought convenience to mankind, but also made mankind have no secrets to speak of. Morris Greenberg turned his head to look at Andy and smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked ahead.

Andy just smiled and stopped talking, he knew that this group of people would not go around in circles with him, because they were originally in the same camp.

When Mr. Pircher was New York State Attorney General from 1999 to 2006, he worked to crack down on big Wall Street corporations, and Time magazine named him "Reform Fighter of the Year." His series of actions aroused both the fear of the New York business community, represented by Wall Street, and the hatred of Wall Street forces.

Because, as long as Pircher uses judicial tools, the stocks of international giants in various industries, whether it is insurance, pharmaceuticals, energy, entertainment, etc., will be greatly affected on Wall Street. This has angered industry companies and Wall Street. However, in the public opinion at the time, Piltzer was called "Mr. Clean" and "Anti-Corruption Fighter" because of his efforts to rectify the financial order on Wall Street and crack down on the illegal behavior of business giants. The first to break the silence was Morris Greenberg, who looked a little playfully and his eyes slightly squinted into the distance of the court.

In 2006, Spitzer was elected governor of New York by a large margin and vowed to change New York's worst government agency in the country and fight corruption to the end. He not only made verbal claims, but also took practical actions to further use the greater power in his hands to attack Wall Street. Therefore, American financial capital must not allow him to continue to undermine the rules that have been set by everyone. This time it was added by New York Stock Exchange CEO Dick Grasso.

Andy nodded slightly with a serious face, he naturally understood that this group of people could not bear the continued existence of this traitor, after all, Piltzer himself came from a wealthy family of real estate, and now he spared no effort to attack them with the power in his hands.

In March, New York's North Fork Bank reported a number of Pierce's transfers to the U.S. Treasury Department. In May, HSBC reported suspicious transactions by two shadow companies, believing that they had large transactions but unclear operations. The two shadow companies deal with the accounts of a company called the Imperial Club, which was founded in 2004. Investigators were surprised to discover that Spitzer's money was remitted to the two companies. Citibank's Sandyvale turned to look at Andy and said with a playful smile.

"Hehe, it looks like our governor is going to be under the strict financial scrutiny regulations of the United States!" Andy chuckled and teased, making his position clear.

"Yes, the FBI has long been investigating, and Pircher often boasts of following Theodore Roosevelt's example, just

The vast financial power is precisely the core of our country's politics and economy. New York Stock Exchange CEO Dick nodded and admitted that everyone was defenseless against Andy Smith, the first is that he has almost touched the core content, and the second is that they think Andy Smith is a natural ally.

"Theodore Roosevelt ... Hehe. Warren Buffett shook his head and chuckled, and read softly.

Andy has a faint smile on his face, but his heart is indescribable, and Wall Street does not hesitate to spend huge sums of money and rack his brains to come up with a long-term and well-thought-out plan to get rid of it. In this process, the US government authorities and the major media that will inevitably appear in the future have guided public opinion and cooperated with this plan to a high degree under the influence of financial forces.

Several old foxes looked at Andy Smith in contemplation, and couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling satisfied with the tacit understanding between everyone about this plan, but they didn't have long to be happy before they heard it.

"Hehe, this Imperial Club is really powerful, not only has it cheated so many British politicians, but it has also found a lot of big names in the list, such as Mr. Senator, who I am very optimistic about and may become the first black president. Andy had a faint smile on his face, and what he said seemed to be really teasing, but as soon as he finished speaking, the pupils of several bigwigs couldn't help shrinking, and their eyes focused on the young guy in front of him.

"It seems that this Imperial Club is indeed very powerful... With a cold glint in his eyes, Morris looked at the crowd pointedly, and finally looked at Andy with a smile.

"I've studied your information, you seem to be making a layout in the entertainment industry, and after acquiring Marvel, do you still want to buy theaters?"

Andy nodded, and said without concealment: "There is this consideration, but it will not be implemented in the near future, what, what good advice does Mr. Morris have?"

Morris shook his head, looked at Andy with deep eyes, and said: "The depth of huge wealth is confusing, and we at AIG can't resist the high returns of subprime mortgages, insurance products and other products." Hey, we're selling some assets for cash in order to better weather the coming winter, I wonder if you're interested in a stake in cable TV?"

Andy's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Which company's shares are too expensive for me to buy... ”

"You, you are so slippery at a young age, just like your grandfather, hehe, ten percent of the shares of AMC Cable TV Station, we calculate it according to the total assets of 2.2 billion, I don't think you will refuse, right?" Morris teased with a crying and laughing expression.

"I don't know about this, and I need my think tank to look into it. Andy will not jump to conclusions easily, and even think that the old man in front of him will really cheapen himself, these people are monsters who eat people and don't spit out bones, and if you believe that they will be kind, then you will not be far from bad luck.

"However, the shares are a bit small, and the most important thing about the strategic layout is that the strategic thinking is fully implemented. ”

As soon as Andy's words fell, Citibank's Sandy smiled: "We at Citi are willing to help you complete the privatization of AMC Cable TV." ”

Morris couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Sandy, you really don't miss any opportunity to get benefits." After speaking, he looked at Andy and continued: "I can only help you understand the wishes of the shareholders, Rainbow Media Holding Group is not so easy to be kicked out, but they only have 38% of the shares, and it is not difficult to surpass their shares, the key is to be fast, and it will be completed before they react." ”

"Then trouble Mr. Morris, whether it succeeds or not, I will remember your help. Andy narrowed his eyes almost with a smile, AMC Cable TV is not a small TV station, "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" he had watched in his previous life.

Andy figured out the ultimate purpose of this group of people before he came, the lieutenant governor of New York is a blind black politician who may eventually succeed the unlucky governor, and the future president is still black, and it is the first time in American history that a black man has held these two positions. Andy believes that this is because Wall Street financial forces believe that black politicians are more likely to indulge. I thought that I would be co-opted with interests, but I didn't expect it to be this way.

Of course, Andy doesn't take advantage of anything, but this kind of opportunity is very rare.
