Chapter 1235: Stop the car and talk about the conditions
The two queens, who left the Four Seasons Hotel for a flight in the afternoon, did not know that Andy Smith, who had just spoken to them on the phone, was still in the hotel to test drive his new toy.
And the crew members of "Mad Men" were even more surprised and worried when they suddenly received a call from Christina, who had a hoarse voice, was a little sluggish, and suddenly became 'sick'.
rejected the kind-hearted care of the crew members and the proposal to go to the hospital, Christina, who had finally been perfunctory, hung up the phone, and looked at Andy Smith, who looked like a super old man, angrily, picked up a fork from the fruit plate on the side, inserted a piece of watermelon and sent it to Andy's mouth.
Andy opened his mouth to eat the watermelon, then raised his eyebrows and smiled at Christina: "I like mature women because they know how to hurt people, and, no matter how much I mess around, they will follow me." ”
"Become tai!"
Christina picked up a piece of watermelon again and sent it to Andy's mouth, her fair cheeks were covered with red glow, and she chose to ignore Andy's dishonest claws, and complained angrily: "It seems that I am not the only crazy woman!"
Andy shrugged his shoulders and smiled while checking the company's briefing and the latest financial information: "I have the qualifications and ability to fill my garage with good cars!"
Christina's little hand holding the fork trembled slightly, and she glanced at the handsome face with a calm and calm face, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
In the next day, Andy began to drive a new toy car, with super headlights on, racing on the track in various field conditions, and tried all kinds of ultra-difficult drag racing techniques one by one, so happy!
However, the long-term hot car caused MO damage to some parts of the engine, and in order to avoid more damage, Andy had to stop in the garage for maintenance and wait for the next experience of extraordinary feelings.
The crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and two black SUVs drove out of the underground parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel at a high speed in the night, the red taillights were unusually conspicuous in the dark night, and Christina in the hotel had already fallen asleep tiredly, and the next morning when she found Andy leaving, her first reaction was a heavy sigh of relief.
Then I saw Andy's message left on the pillow, and sighed lightly with a slightly complicated look, but since she has made a choice, then she will not regret it, the more she experiences, the more clearly she understands the reality and helplessness of this world, if you want to get it, you have to pay, in the entertainment industry, there is never any so-called lucky person!
Even if there really is, it will be short-lived! If there is one, which one of them will not be broken all over his body and slowly turn into King Kong!
On the morning of September 24, in the study of Shanhai Manor, Andy held his mobile phone, raised his arm slightly, dodged Xiao Lao's stretched hand, raised his eyebrows and made a grimace to tease Xiao Laura, handed her over to the nanny to take her away, and picked up the phone.
"Hehe, Warren, are you calling me and showing off?"
Without waiting for Warren Buffett on the other end of the phone to speak, Andy took the lead in teasing that just two hours ago, the board of directors of Goldman Sachs approved Buffett's almost black-hearted transaction with harsh conditions on the grounds that Buffett's shareholding would boost market confidence or raise more cash.
"What's there to brag about in this deal, hehe, I'm eating DQ ice cream with my grandchildren, and this deal was made in part because of confidence that the government will contain a financial disaster that could endanger companies like Goldman Sachs. Another factor was that they were able to accept all of my conditions, which was very attractive to Berkshire Hathaway. ”
Listening to Warren Buffett's obviously somewhat proud and ostentatious tone, the corners of Andy's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, revealing a sneer, and complained in his heart, when you old boy cries!
But the words he said were full of envy, "I really want to congratulate you, the profit of $5 billion in preferred stock investment is at least a billion dollars, and there is also the interest to be paid to you every year." Oh my God, Warren, you've made a super good deal. ”
"Haha... ”
Warren Buffett laughed happily with a hint of smugness on the phone, to be honest, he didn't expect Goldman Sachs to agree to such harsh conditions he proposed, no matter the ups and downs in a short period of time, this will not affect his profits, after all, he is a person who can endure loneliness, he can wait slowly, as long as Goldman Sachs does not go bankrupt, obviously, Goldman Sachs bankruptcy is something that will never happen.
"Andy, you don't need to be envious, if you want, you can do the same, you can have one now, how about it, are you interested?"
The corners of Andy's mouth curled up a lot, and the meaning of the sneer was fully revealed, he still wondered why this old rascal came to bother him again, it turned out that he was still looking for money, Andy also guessed that this old rascal was the same as himself, he clenched the funds in his hand, waiting to hold back the big move.
"Oh, what a chance, let's hear it. ”
"General Electric. ”
“。。。。。。 Andy's pupils shrank slightly, his brain worked quickly, and he flipped through all the information about GE in his memory, and the long silence made Warren Buffett a little confused.
"Since GE's first-quarter earnings were $700 million less than expected, the financial arm they built up went on to buy a number of credit card companies, subprime lenders and commercial real estate companies before the subprime mortgage crisis, quadrupling their profits and buying a nuclear bomb.
After the subprime mortgage crisis, everyone noticed that GE had always relied heavily on short-term debt to ensure earnings growth, and when the credit market froze, GE lost all its magic.
In recent months, everyone has been worried that GE may not be able to repay its debts, and in recent days it has even begun to worry about the possibility of a complete collapse of the company. Now that GE has had to raise $15 billion through an emergency stock offering, I feel like this is an opportunity to make a move!"
Warren Buffett put together the problems and troubles that General Electric is currently facing, and this kind of investment he is optimistic about calls Andy to inform him, which seems to be a kind intention to promote his juniors, but in Andy's heart, he never thought that this old rascal would be so kind.
General Electric will definitely not fall, and the highest valuation once reached 600 billion behemoths, even if there is a shortage of money, the US government will rush to stuff them with money to get them through the difficulties, which Andy sees very clearly.
"Warren, I can't make a quick decision about this kind of thing, after all, it's a multi-billion investment, and I need time to think about it. ”
"Of course, this is not a small matter. ”
"Well, Warren, thank you for telling me the news, and I don't think you're calling to tell me the news. Andy adjusted his sitting position, leaned back in the boss's chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked with a light smile.
"Hehe, I can't hide it from you, so I'll be blunt, if I invest in GE again, then I'm going to put almost $78 billion into the market this time, and in order to make sure the money is safe, I need to do a PR offensive to boost the market and urge the government to take strong action. I hope that the media power in your hands is in step with mine, and most rewardingly, I will accept a special interview with your TV station... “
"Haha... Andy laughed out loud directly, with a hint of banter in his tone, how could Warren Buffett, as an old fox, not hear it, but he didn't get angry, but said lightly: "A one-hour special interview with AMC cable news station!"
"Exclusive?" Andy asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow and an equally faint tone.
“。。。 Warren frowned and fell silent.
"Warren, you've definitely contacted all the mainstream media, you have to know that I've always been a big short, and you're singing too much right now, which happens to be the opposite of me, and if you succeed, I'm going to lose money, and an interview won't get me a lot of support, although maybe you don't care about that. Andy didn't want to offend the old rascal, but that didn't mean he was going to be so talkative.
"Come on, Andy, don't think that everyone else is stupid, all the tentacles of your short selling have retracted, and the action of holding the currency is not hidden, even if the stock market is skyrocketing now, it will not affect you, let's be straight, what do you want, I know that you are smart and will not let us fall into an embarrassing situation for each other. Warren's tone also became a little indifferent, and he saw Andy's little guy's interests first, he saw it more thoroughly.
