The setting sun, poking out half of its head between the gaps in the skyscrapers, slowly falls, and finally disappears at the end of the busy street. It's a Manhattan sunset.

Andy looked through the car window and looked at the roadside scenery, because tomorrow was the weekend, and the streets were obviously a little more relaxed. There is no rush hour traffic, and there is no bustling office workers anxiously shuttling around. Even locals are willing to sit back and spend more than ten minutes enjoying the rare view of the Manhattan sun.

"Pull over!"

After Andy said to the driver, the shiny black Maybach stopped on the side of the road, and four bodyguards quickly walked down from the two SUVs in front and behind, standing around on guard, Andy got out of the car, nodded and smiled at Kenny, who opened the door for him, and said, "Is there any cash?"

"Hmm. Kenny's grim face curled slightly, and he took a hundred dollars out of his pocket and handed it to Andy.

"Thank you. Andy smiled and raised his hundred dollars as he walked to the ice cream vendor stalls that were everywhere on the street.

"I want a taro, strawberry and mango, chocolate, and this... Thank you, give you the money. ”

The ice cream vendors have long been attracted to the previous pomp and circumstance, when Andy stepped out of the car, many people recognized him, Andy bought ice cream in front of the hawker stall is surrounded by a group of passers-by, some fans are even more excited to talk to each other, and bold girls come forward to ask for a group photo.

Andy smiled charmingly and met the requests of several girls, and in the excited expression of the vendor, Andy took a bite of ice cream, stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Very good, familiar taste of New York, thank you." ”

"Hehe, thank you, thank you, Mr. Smith, for your patronage, this is... ”

"No need to look for it, goodbye. Andy looked at the other party looking for money, couldn't help laughing, picked up the loaded ice cream and walked back to the car, ignoring the growing crowd and the surrounding raised mobile phones, sat in the car, opened the car refrigerator, and put the ice cream inside.

Buzz –

Andy, who was sipping ice cream, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at it and picked it up.

"Hmmm... You said. ”

"Boss, I'm on my way to Fannie Mae, and I'm going to accompany Paulson to Freddie Mac for the takeover plan to kick off and complete the takeover this weekend. ”

"Well, that means next Monday, Asian and European stock markets are going to rebound, okay, I see, you're busy. ”

Andy hung up the phone, took a bite of ice cream, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and in the end, Paulson still chose to do it regardless of the political cost, and at this time, the little flying shoes president sitting in the White House was bent on how to hold on for these months, otherwise the American economy would completely collapse in his hands.

The financial crisis has changed the fate of many people, some will be heroes, others will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and neither Flying Shoes nor Paulson clearly wants to be the latter.

Since the onset of the financial crisis, Paulson and his team have been working around the clock, often seven days a week. The more powerful he is, the busier his work, and Paulson, the Treasury secretary, can also be said to be the first to rush to the front line.

On the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 5, a team led by Treasury Secretary Paulson traveled to the two companies to meet with their management, and on Saturday, Sept. 6, Paulson met with their boards of directors, and both boards of directors accepted the receivership proposal, signaling that common shareholders have lost almost everything.

On Sunday, Paulson officially announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had been placed under receivership.

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are so large and so closely connected to the financial system that the loss of either would cause great upheaval in the U.S. and global financial markets, and we have considered all the options available to us to implement this comprehensive and complementary set of initiatives... ”

Andy hugged Ivana, who was wearing only a suspender nightdress, opened his mouth to eat the watermelon that Ivana handed to his mouth, and watched Paulson, who was facing the flashing lights on TV, announce the results of the takeover of the two houses to the whole United States and the world.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief... Ivana looked at the press conference, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly.

"Breathe a sigh of relief? Andy took out the claws of Lushan in his nightdress, picked up the phone from the table on the side with his arms behind his back, and dialed it out with Ivana's somewhat frowning and curious expression.

"Is Lehman's third-quarter results out? Well, okay, I know, additional funds to short American International Group (AIG) and Merrill Lynch... ”

Hanging up the phone, Andy raised his eyebrows at the curious Ivana and said: "There is a real crisis, but there are more than two houses, Lehman is on the verge of bankruptcy, and American International Group and Merrill Lynch are also cold.

If Lehman had gone Bear Stearns' path and been merged, then Merrill Lynch would be the next weakest investment bank, and a new run on Merrill Lynch was inevitable, with AIG's share price falling 50% in a week. ”

Ivana turned around suddenly, her eyes flashed with excitement, she reached out and stroked Andy's cheek and asked in a trembling voice, "Honey, how much have you earned during this time?"

"Hehe, it's not much, 6.7 billion!"

"Ahh Po~Po~God, God, dear, you are simply the hand of God!"

With an excited scream, Ivana blushed, excitedly holding Andy's face and kissing it endlessly, a little incoherent excited.

"Hehe, where is this going, it will be more lively next, I will squeeze the last drop of Lehman's oil, the previous hedging used ten times leverage, made a profit of 5 billion US dollars, and after deducting the losses returned to the securities company, a total of 3.4 billion US dollars was obtained, you say, so many prey are in front of me, will I let them go?"

"Of course not! Lehman Brothers' market value has evaporated by hundreds of billions, and of course it can't be done with only such a little!" Ivana blushed and a pair of almond eyes widened, looking at Andy condescendingly, and said menacingly.

"Ahem, don't worry, there's still a chance, take your time, to be honest, there are too many opportunities to choose this time, I also need to be cautious, after all, high leverage also means high risk... Hey, hey, don't get so excited, tsk... ”

Andy looked at Ivana, who was in excitement because of the skyrocketing wealth, and before he finished listening to his serious introduction, he began to let him see the dagger, and Ivana herself chose to sway in the feng shui sun...

Sure enough, wealth and power are the most powerful CY in the world for women!

Monday, September 8.

The two houses were taken over and nationalized by the United States Government, and $100 billion in capital and credit support was provided to both companies, and Asian and European markets soared across the board, with both the Central Bank of the Foot Basin and the Central Bank of the Celestial Empire applauding.

Andy Smith, who sat in his office on the 58th floor of the luxurious Newsweek Building, welcomed a guest who surprised him early in the morning.

"Your Excellency, aren't you supposed to be very busy, how do you have time to come to me?"

"The two-room crisis has left me exhausted. Solving the "two-room" crisis is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I was supposed to fly back to Washington and explain to Congress why we were forced to use our new powers, but I had to come over and meet you, Andy, are you really not interested in Lehman?"

Paulson told the truth, he was really going to die, as the captain of the fire on Wall Street, although he did not like to see Lehman, but he had to help this bastard company find a buyer, as much as possible to ensure the stability of the American financial system.

"Hehe, of course, I've got a lot of interest in it, haven't I been shorting them all the time?"

Andy's chuckle and rhetorical question made Paulson's face turn completely black, but he quickly took a deep breath, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You people are really too greedy... ”

"Hehe, Paulson, you were one of us greedy vampires, weren't you?" Andy's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he sneered faintly.
