Chapter 999: The Carnival Continues

March 21, an important holiday in the Western world, Easter.

Due to Easter, the financial markets of major markets in Europe and the United States are closed today. Financial institutions and investors who have been "living like a year" because of the subprime mortgage storm can finally take a break and have a trouble-free weekend.

However, for policymakers such as Fed President Ben Bernanke and ECB President Jean Trichet, the holiday may not be very reassuring.

Just yesterday, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England once again intervened in the face of renewed high money market call rates, sending large sums of dollars, euros or pounds to financial markets.

Statistics from think tanks also show that as the Federal Reserve expanded the scope of discount window loans this week, various financial institutions are no longer "reserved", but cheekily borrowed funds from the Fed to save the emergency.

Andy is very happy about this news, because several short-selling target companies have received funds from the Fed, so that Andy can hedge them with confidence and not cause unpredictable loss of control.

The major central banks in Europe and the United States have all thought of sending "holiday red envelopes" to the market. Mainly frightened by the tragedy of sudden death like Bear Stearns.

However, such a generous bailout could not have prevented the "tragedy" from happening. This week, not only the tragic Bear Stearns, but also a number of large financial institutions are running short of funds or disclosing more subprime mortgage-related losses.

Andy looked at the email of the results from the London company, and his already extremely comfortable mood became brighter and brighter.

At 8:30 a.m. the day before yesterday, there were rumours that Halifax Bank of Scotland, the UK's largest mortgage bank, had run short of funds and had applied for billions of pounds in emergency loans from the Bank of England, and could repeat the mistakes of the Northam Rock Bank, which suffered a run...

The stock price plunged 18% in less than an hour after the market opened. By the end of the day, the decline narrowed slightly, but it still reached 7.1%, and the market value evaporated about 1 billion pounds throughout the day.

Despite a subsequent statement by the Bank of England calling this a rumor, the Bank of England urgently convened a meeting of the top management of major British banking institutions. The Bank of England is highly concerned about this huge move in the market.

Doesn't the method look very familiar? And the method is simply rough and scary, but this simple method is the most deadly, Andy has been criticized as a political shit-stirring stick, and a group of bastards in Gaia Company are typical financial shit-stirring sticks, they don't want 13 faces for huge profit rewards, and they can use any three indiscriminate tricks.

If the Bank of England knew that Andy's people were making trouble, they would definitely list Andy as the least popular American, but Andy's group of bastards also knew that they couldn't blatantly recruit the big boss, anyway, they just let the news out, casually find a restaurant where reporters often hang out to chat, or accidentally drop a document or something, and the news will get out.

Anyway, seeing that there were more than 200 million pounds on his account, he naturally couldn't let his group of bastards down, Andy was really happy in his heart, crackled and quickly wrote a reward email, and after clicking send, he heard footsteps behind him, closed his laptop, looked back at a black halterneck suspender belt on his upper body, a beach dress with a white pattern on a blue background, and Lima, who was dressed up, rolled his eyes and said: "Little sao goods, you are ready to go to the street like this... ”

Lima heard Andy's complaint, and stretched out his middle finger at Andy angrily, "I posted it, I can't see it at all... ”

As he spoke, he also used his hands to support her more and more proud upper circumference, with a bold appearance that you can see for yourself, and let Andy cover half of his face with black lines on his forehead, "You won!"

For the security consultants who want to take the Qing people to go out during Easter, a particularly important holiday in Jamaica, it can be described as a great enemy.

With 12 bodyguards on standby, Jamaica has a chronic lack of social security and one of the highest rates of violence in the world. The number of murderers is the highest in the world. It's not surprising to read three homicides a day from a newspaper, it's not a special day in Jamaica. The country commits more than 1,000 homicides every year. There were more than 1,600 murders in 2007.

And Kingston, as the center, murder, robbery, and theft are as common as eating and drinking every day.

The main reason for the high crime rate is that more than 85 per cent of children in the country are born out of wedlock, and more than 50 per cent of children are registered at birth without their father's name.

Someone once wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, asking for a license for the Jamaican man's guy, tsk, black buddy... Hey, they're all upright walking teddies!

Andy deliberately grew a big beard with trimmed and a pair of sunglasses, and the camouflage effect was still very good, after all, most of his photos were the kind of handsome effect that no friends had repaired, and there was really no unshaven beard, besides, in Jamaica, there could not be many people who knew him.

It's the annual Jamaican Carnival, from beach parties to street parades, from weekly camouflage camps to Friday night nights, from breakfast fairs to gastronomic feasts...

Driven into a state of madness, Jamaicans show the Caribbean in their unique way to all visitors.

Lima, dressed in a white lady mask, is completely immersed in the carnival atmosphere.

"It's not as big as our Brazilian carnival, but I like the atmosphere, oh my god, I love these feathers, my dear, look, isn't it beautiful?"

Andy smiled happily as he watched Lima put a pair of colorful feather headdresses on his head.

"Incomparable, it's mostly the beauty!" Andy reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and Kenny and the others stood in a half-circle around the booth, looking around with a nervous falcon-like eye.

Musical performances are endless, reggae, Soca, Calypso... Andy's laughing and happily Limara entered the people who were moving along with the music.

With the sun shining on their shoulders and sweat dripping from their foreheads, Lima and Andy danced happily through the noisy streets as they danced like animals in Jamaica's unique dance moves that were inappropriate for children.

Andy and Lima are haunted by thousands of songs, looking at each other, and in the crowd, they become part of the carnival.

"It's amazing, I love it here... Lima had excitedly taken off the lady's mask on his face, jumped on Andy's back with a bright smile, and cheered with his hands raised.
