To be honest, the $100 million year-end dividend reward seems a bit shabby...

Shabby?

Indeed, Morgan Stanley, which lost $9.4 billion in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year due to the subprime crisis, paid out 18 percent more bonuses to employees this year than last year to $16.6 billion.

Lehman, which had just announced fourth-quarter earnings of $870 million, was handing out $9.5 billion in bonuses. Of this amount, $5.7 billion is dividends. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. distributed a 20 percent increase in total bonuses to $20.1 billion, which means that its other bonuses in addition to cents reached $12 billion.

Of course, there is also the issue of the size of the company, the difference in the number of employees. If you look at the average amount of year-end bonuses that ordinary employees can receive, Andy's Liberty City Investment Company will exceed the average of the entire Wall Street, and each person can get millions of year-end bonuses.

Cheers and excitement are inevitable, after all, this group of young Wall Street new NENs has grown up through transactions again and again, and all of them have entered the ranks of millionaires, which has to be said to be the most eye-catching landscape in Wall Street investment banks.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The sound of three consecutive champagne corkages brought the office hall back to a celebratory and cheering atmosphere, and Andy couldn't help but smile as he watched the golden bottles of Ace of Spades champagne being poured into goblets one by one.

"Boss, the little ones are going to start messing around, let's go upstairs. There was a little black line on Buddlestone's forehead, and he saw that a few bastards had started calling for women, and there might be something that shouldn't be there, although he was a little repulsive to those things, but it wasn't a contraband on Wall Street, like cigarettes, after all, the pressure on their group was not something that ordinary people could match.

With a smile on his face, Andy looked up and drank the champagne from his glass, put it down, and said to Bad Stone, "Let's go, it's your turn!"

Badstone was also a little excited, and the smile on his face became brighter, for the year-end bonus, no one would not look forward to it, which is a reward for a year's hard work, and it is also a reflection of its own value.

In Andy's bright and modern office of Gaia Information Investment Company, the little assistant Torrey Blake, who had already rushed over, delivered two cups of coffee, and looked back at Andy's eyes full of resentment, but he still very sensibly twisted his slender waist wrapped in an OL skirt and left the office.

Andy picked up the coffee, took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, it was still the coffee made by the little assistant, put down the coffee cup, looked at the expectant face with a smile, and said with a smile: "Bud, do you remember the scene when we first met?"

"Well, it's like yesterday, thank you boss for your trust and support!" Buddlestone paused slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly as if reminiscing, and finally showed a grateful look on his face.

"Look, what I'm talking about, you won't regret your decision, and I won't regret choosing you!" Andy smiled and took out a checkbook from his suit pocket, took out a signature pen from the pen holder on the table, and quickly finished it.

"Thorn-"

"Look at the dissatisfaction. With a faint smile on his face, Andy handed the torn check to Badstone between his fingers.

Badstone hurriedly put down the coffee cup, took the check with both hands, and looked at the numbers on the check with some expectation, the first number was 3, followed by a long list of 0, his heart beat a little unhappily, 30 million US dollars!

Far more than his $1 million annual base salary, a figure that not only demonstrates his ability to lead Liberty City on Wall Street, but also celebrates the opportunities he seized during the subprime mortgage crisis.

"Huh~ Thank you boss!" A flush appeared on Badstone's face, suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and thanked Andy.

"You deserve it, and I expect more profitable results from Liberty City Investments under your leadership, and as I said, I've never been a stingy person. ”

Andy smiled, nodded to Badstone, reached out and pressed the transponder on his desk, and said into the speaker, "Let John in." ”

Under Badstone's watchful eye, Andy began handing out cash checks to several executives with a face value of five million dollars each.

After the distribution is completed, Andy has cut the profit on the book by 160 million, and the rest can not be cut anymore, after all, he has to pay a part of the tax, he does not want to leave a stain on this kind of issue, you know, in the United States, killing people may be able to find a way to evade the punishment of the law, but once there is a problem with taxes, it is more difficult to get rid of than killing people.

The great joy of the year-end bonus was temporarily suppressed by Bardstone, he had just thought about it, to go home and celebrate with his wife, to be honest, the previous Bardstone was cautious and conservative, even if he was very talented, but also because of the conservative investment philosophy, was disliked by ordinary investors, and his income dividends were gone.

Although it also belongs to the rich class, it is far worse than those former colleagues who lived in super mansions and drove supercars at the same time, and finally, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, I finally want my family to live a multimillionaire life.

“。。。 The price of gold futures for delivery in February next year has been suppressed below $820 per ounce, which has become a pressure level that has been oscillating around the price of $815 per ounce. ”

When only Buddlestone and Andy were left in the office, Buddlestone told a recent analysis.

"What's the profit of my gold?" Andy touched his chin with his left hand, and a pen spun quickly between the fingers of his right hand.

"1.02 billion, and a fraction of hundreds of thousands, which means that my 172 tons of gold are now worth 5.02 billion US dollars, but... You wait. Andy put down his feet on the desk and reached out and pressed the transponder.

"Tori, let Alvitatre come over. ”

To be honest, although Andy now has $12 billion in quick-settling cash, he also owes the bank 6 billion loans, although most of the loans were passed on by him to the acquired Marvel, AMC cable TV stations, and with various capital operations, he lent his personal money to various teams, and even the Rockets now owe him $200 million.

His method of passing on his own liabilities to the company is also to avoid taxes reasonably, so that the books of each company will always remain loss-making, and then use the profits of the company to help him repay the bank loan.

In this way, Andy personally got rid of the debt situation, and his personal financial situation became good, and except for a few IT companies and mockingbird game companies and copyright companies that were founded not long ago, they were all in the red, of course, only on the books.

By the way, there is also the British Tottenham club is also debt-free, and the profitability is quite good, which is the bargaining chip that Andy intends to use to implement the British plan.

"Wow. ”

"Please come in. Al, it's waiting for you, sit, Tori, make Al's coffee. ”

Alvitatlet and Bad Stone smiled and nodded, and then sat down opposite Andy with Bard, "Boss, I just received a message, I wonder if you are interested?"
