Chapter 477: The Next Big Move
HEARING THE LITTLE ASSISTANT'S STUPID TONE, I ALMOST KNEW THAT IT WAS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE WEAK FAMILY AFFECTION OF THE 18-YEAR-OLD DU WHO WAS SET UP BY THE AMERICAN JING YING CLASS AND SUPPORTED HIMSELF.
This set of so-called mainstream values really allows the JING class in the United States to occupy the main social resources for a long time, and firmly believing in this concept may not want more responsible middle- and low-class Americans to completely let their children repeat the life of the middle and low-class generation after generation.
And those who practice a different set of inheritance paths, so that their descendants have always been in the upper echelons of the social class. This is also another kind of more hidden class solidification that relies on the promotion of mainstream values.
With the weakness of family affection, even many children who were kicked out of the house at the age of 18 will never contact their parents in their lives, or die outside, and their parents don't know about it, let alone look for it, which is why there are so many missing people in American society, they don't even care about their families, and who cares about the life or death of these people.
"How long has it been since you've been back?" asked Andy with a concerned look at him.
"It's been four years, and after graduating from high school, I left Seattle and haven't been in touch again, after all, I have to work and go to school at the same time, how can I have time... Seeing the soft gaze of the Great Demon King, Torry Blake lowered his head, his teeth biting his red lip, and his fork gently poked at the steak on the plate.
"What do they do?" said Andy, picking up a piece of beef with a fork and putting it in his mouth.
"My mother is a nurse, my stepfather works for a gas company, and I have a five-year-old brother. ”
When Andy saw her talking about her brother, a sweet smile appeared on her face, sighed lightly, put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and took a sip of water from the glass, "Tomorrow will give you a few days off, go home and have a look, buy more gifts, and give you a quota of 100,000... ”
"No... I'm gone, and you have no one to take care of. Torrey Black shook his head in refusal, but his expression was a little tangled.
"Let's go back and see, family, family affection needs to be cared for, and it's not short to be by my side, you should also know how ridiculous the so-called DU concept is, don't blame your family, okay, it's settled. ”
“。。。 Thank you, boss. "Tori Blake seems to have opened the floodgates of longing that had been closed because of the words of the Great Demon King.
"Hehe, don't be stupid, eat it. Andy smiled, looked at the little assistant with a mist rising in his eyes, and continued to take the knife and fork and began to eat.
Coming out of the restaurant, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings, brilliant lights, and crowded streets, Andy said softly: "Walk with me... ”
Andy and Tori walked side by side, and Joseph and two other bodyguards were five or six paces apart in a triangular position to protect Andy in the middle.
"Boss, you've made so much money, how are you going to spend it... The little assistant, who had been silent for a while, thought of his big demon king's current net worth, and couldn't help but be irrepressibly excited, and asked tentatively.
"Hehe, is it too much? I still don't feel enough! Really, not enough to spend, forget it, tell you you you don't understand, tell me about you, tell me about your childhood. ”
When Torry Black heard the words of the Great Demon King, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, if you don't say it, how do you know that I don't understand!
But the Great Demon King is willing to understand himself, and he is also very happy, this time because the Great Demon King feels that he has been tossed miserably, and his conscience finds that the next time he is so considerate, he doesn't know when he will wait.
"When I was a kid, I had a passion for one day being in the spotlight... ”
Andy listened to Torrey Black talk about his childhood and experiences as he strolled through the streets of Manhattan at night.
On Wall Street, especially in this sensitive period, Andy and Morgan Stanley's negotiations are not a secret, when Da Mo's negotiation team left, Andy and his subordinates celebrated wildly, the news of Da Mo and Andy reached a deal has spread all over Wall Street, but the specific transaction amount is kept secret.
Of course, if you really want to inquire, there is no difficulty, but the entire Wall Street, and even the major financial institutions and media in the United States have focused on the announcement of Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States.
Immediately after the same day, it was revealed that the value of Soood Capital, a hedge fund that manages $3 billion of Harvard University's assets, has shrunk by nearly half in just one month because it holds subprime mortgage business.
The whole market is in a state of panic and confusion, and as house prices fall, more and more foolish mistakes are exposed, and no one knows who will be next.
A spokesman for Bear Stearns also said that it was an act to protect investors because the actual value of the asset is higher than its current market price.
"We think the fund's portfolio is good enough to survive until the market returns to normal, and we believe that a call on redemption is in the best interest of protecting investors' long-term interests. ”
Of course, his words turned out to be nothing more than an illusory imagination, and not only did the two funds suffer as a result, but Bear Stearns itself was not immune to the crisis.
In Andy's bright, spacious, simple, modern office at Gaia Investments, Andy turned off the TV with the remote control, and saw that the people in the think tank and the management of Liberty City Investment Company led by Badstone were all looking at him.
"After the celebration, it's time for us to take the next step, you have just seen what the Bear Stearns spokesperson said, so the next step is to short its stock, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley and Citibank, Merrill Lynch, AIG Insurance Company are all under our gun!"
Andy's words made everyone in the room nod in agreement, this was also planned before, but at that time there was no collective selection of targets, as time went on, more and more data showed that these large companies, banks have great problems.
As the main force for shorting US stocks in the future, Bardstone began to report on the materials they have been collecting on the major target companies, as well as the trend of stock prices, although now the US stock market has been boosted by various positive news again, and the upward trend is significant.
But everyone here who really understands the situation knows that this is just a deliberate manipulation by someone with a heart, in addition to leaving time to escape, it is also the final dying struggle.
When Badstone led his team to leave, there were only the main members of the think tank led by Alvitatre left in the office, and Li Xiaoying was naturally among them.
Because Li Xiaoying has been following the big team to be in charge of CDO projects during this time, she has not had the opportunity to have more contact, but every time she sees her knowledge and elegance, it is eye-catching.
"Boss, I've already contacted Bank of America, and they'll send someone over to negotiate a loan in a moment. Alvitatre reported to Andy.
"What is the price of gold now?"
"$650 per ounce. ”
"4 billion to buy all gold, and then use the gold settlement order to borrow from the Bank of America, I think this time the Bank of America will no longer worry about our ability to repay, the next is to make our first acquisition!" Andy knows that the craziest thing in the future is the price of gold, except for the panic caused by the global subprime mortgage crisis in the middle, because of the hedging and currency issuance, etc., so that gold soared all the way to the price of more than $1,900 an ounce.
This is an opportunity, although the specific price and time of this fall in the middle, but there is a perfect reference to rely on, that is, Lehman Brothers can make a move before going bankrupt.
This one time is enough to make a lot of money for yourself, and maybe the money you earn back can directly cover half of the money you need to spend.
"So, boss, our goal is ... ”
Alvert looked at Andy with a serious look, and the others looked at the young boss with excitement and curiosity.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Andy took out a book with a colorful cover from the side slit of the sofa beside him and threw it on the table in front of him, making a crisp "pop" sound.
"Marvel Comics - Marvel Comics!"
