Chapter 907: Flickering and flickering

In a small venue where the Davos summit is located, there are about four or five hundred people on the scene on a round platform in the middle, and the audience is full of people who are sitting on the sofa and chatting face-to-face, including media reporters, elites from all walks of life, and some financial experts.

"Although there is still disagreement on whether the U.S. economy will go into recession, there is a basic consensus that the U.S. economy may slow down, and it is believed that the global economy will be affected by the U.S. economy, and its growth rate will also slow... ”

Andy leaned on the sofa calmly and comfortably, resting his elbows on the armrests of the sofa, and crossed his fingers in front of him, facing Jeremy Parksman, who was famous for "torturing" the guests on the BBC's most high-end news talk show "News Night", and talked calmly.

"You said yesterday that the Fed's emergency rate cut was market-driven, and the outcome is likely to be worse, do you agree with Mr. Soros's suggestion that this is a seemingly panicked move by the Fed?"

Andy smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "On the contrary, when the economic prospects of the United States are uncertain, why did the Little Flying Shoes government, which has never advocated economic intervention, and the Federal Reserve, which has always emphasized the risk of inflation, change their mentality and act boldly?

Panic is a "poison" for the market. It is precisely because of the market's panic about the US economic outlook that the financial market has caused a major downturn that has not been seen in many years. This concern is currently the dominant force in the global market.

January 21 coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, and the stock market was closed. The opening of the U.S. stock market on the 22nd will follow in the footsteps of the world's major stock markets, which is the general pessimistic expectation of everyone.

The Fed's surprise and early rate cut was designed to prevent this expectation from becoming a reality, further exacerbating the panic. From a practical point of view, there is no real point in cutting interest rates a week earlier.

But from a psychological point of view, the move has the effect of restoring market confidence, avoiding panic contagion and stabilizing consumer sentiment. Since then, the US stock market has fallen and then risen, and the major global stock markets have rebounded, indicating that the Fed's astonishing move has achieved its goal of showing the world that the US central bank is acting. ”

Jeremy Parksman's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and smiled: "Since the purpose of the interest rate cut has been achieved, then why do you still think that the interest rate cut will make the situation worse? Isn't it a contradiction?"

"Hehe, it's not paradoxical, the Fed's move is market-friendly, injecting a lot of liquidity into the financial system, but it has the potential to fuel another bubble economy. My concern is that the Fed's move to cut interest rates urgently will only take us from one bubble to another. ”

"What about Europe? What do you think of the wait-and-see attitude of the European Central Bank and the Bank of England? Do you think that Europe will really be affected by the subprime mortgage crisis in the future, and the economy will start to recession?"

"Europe is unlikely to be immune to the global economic slowdown. It is expected that the European Central Bank will follow in the footsteps of the Fed and cut interest rates in the near future after keeping interest rates unchanged for several months. In a globalized world, if this game of panic is to be won, the Fed's actions should be echoed by the central banks of other industrialized countries.

And I would like to correct that I never said that the US and Europe would have a recession!

To be honest, when the U.S. economy is at the crossroads of recession or slowdown, I choose to be optimistic, the outlook for the U.S. economy is still positive, but it will slow down... “

"But we all know you're shorting the US and Europe, how do you explain that?"

"Of course, it's to make money, the trend of the times, I'm just a drop in the ocean, I can only take advantage of the trend, I can't help but reverse the trend, right?"

Andy chose to shrug his shoulders and blink his innocent big eyes in response to the other party's sharp rhetorical question, and the words he said made the audience and the host laugh, followed by applause, applauding for Andy's honesty.

Indeed, is there something wrong with making money?

"Well, Mr. Smith, your honesty leaves me a little speechless, so can you predict when this subprime mortgage crisis will end?"

Andy gave the other party a roll of his eyes and teased, "God told me that it was going to be quite painful and relatively long... ”

Hahaha...

The audience burst into laughter again, but although many people were laughing, their expressions became more and more solemn after laughing.

"Mr. Smith, your answer will not be satisfactory to the audience at the scene or in front of the television, we all want to hear your reasoning, and I believe that many people around the world want to know your opinion. ”

Jeremy Parksman's reluctance made Andy a little helpless, first shook his head with laughter and laughter, and after the applause at the scene, his expression slowly became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "As the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis continues to spread to credit cards, auto loans and corporate credit, the economic depression that the United States is about to face is likely to last for about three quarters... ”

。。。。。。

"Oh my God, I almost believed that you were a good guy who worried about the country and the people, and that you were part of the Wall Street conspiracy?"

At the end of the interview, Andy left the venue in a round of applause and siege and sat in the car.

"Does it matter if it's true or not? Besides, everything I say is sincere, and I don't want the market panic to be too serious... Ahem, well, don't encourage it, how can these governments throw money into financial institutions, really tighten the money bag, whose money are we going to make?

It is beneficial for us to directly intervene in the government, and the banks or financial institutions that have filed for bankruptcy will not be able to get their hands on them until the government takes over, and we can get them at the price of cabbage!"

Andy's words made Li Xiaoying slightly stunned, "You really want to buy the bank?"

"Why not? My Watsip APP will add the function of mobile payment in the future, without its own bank as a transit station and fund settlement bank, is it like PayPal, it will take several days to refund the money?"

Li Xiaoying's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard mobile payment, but she quickly shook her head and admonished: "The idea of mobile payment is very advanced, but it needs to be used through the payment port, and the most critical point is that the habit of Americans using credit cards has been cultivated and popularized for many years, and it takes time and market education to switch to mobile payment methods." ”

"Wow, Emily, I like you more and more, you're just my roundworm, I just said a name, you can understand and see the difficulty, shouldn't we hug our hearts... ”

"Get out! Who is your roundworm, it's so disgusting!" Li Xiaoying's pretty face turned red, gritted her teeth and looked at Andy who was leaning in front of her, and opened his arm directly angrily.

When the two were frolicking in the driving carriage, Andy's mobile phone rang, took out the mobile phone from the coat pocket and looked at it, picked it up directly, and after a few words, he quickly hung up.

Reaching out and pressing the speaker on the armrest of the seat, he said to Kenny in the front row, "Go to the Traditional House Restaurant!"

Li Xiaoying, who was playing and tossing, reached out and stroked the hair on both sides of her cheeks, her pretty face was flushed, and after giving Andy a white look, she asked, "Whose private luncheon is it?"

"Rupert Murdoch!"

"What?" Li Xiaoying confirmed in surprise, with a very surprised expression on her face, she looked at Andy with a frown and said: "Why is he so anxious? Unless the threat of this eavesdropping incident is very big, and it may even make News Corp suffer heavy losses and shake its position, it seems that they must have touched a lot of taboos while using eavesdropping to obtain news, so they want to quickly solve your big trouble!"

Andy looked at Li Xiaoying, who was contemplating and analyzing, that soft face, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, the genius Xueba really didn't cover it.

"Emily, you are simply a female Zhuge ! Be my woman, I will be good to you for the rest of my life... ”

"Get out!"

Andy naturally knows very well that if he makes all the content of the wiretapping scandal public, News Corp will face a joint strangulation by the British and American governments, after all, over the years, News Corp has offended not the slightest person, and it has not been caught before, many people can only grit their teeth and grit the news corp and Murdoch, if Andy hands them the knife, this group of people will definitely tear News Corp apart.

In his previous life, Murdoch not only lost a century-old newspaper in order to deal with the wiretapping scandal, but also a $12.5 billion business, as well as being scolded by the people and besieged by various inquiries.

And Li Xiaoying doesn't know much about the inside story, and can deduce these from Murdoch's invitation to dinner, although this can't reflect how talented he is, but this kind of quick thinking and reaction speed is definitely far beyond ordinary people, not to mention, he has been recognized as a genius since he was a child, and he has not crossed the golden finger, tsk, and definitely crushed Andy into slag.

It's a pity that there is no if, the current situation is that Andy has been thinking about the genius beauty student bully for a long time, and he has long been determined to ride this difficult rouge horse!
