I have to say that Henry Paulson does have a deep understanding of the Celestial Empire, and he is also well versed in the way of interacting with the people of the Celestial Empire.

After accepting the president's appointment, Paulson, who will take over as Treasury secretary, will be in charge of the U.S. government's policy toward the United States, and he is regarded as a Washington veteran because of his more than 70 visits to China during his tenure at Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs has been the advisor and lead underwriter of the Celestial Empire's bond issuance from the beginning. By 1997, Goldman Sachs was the lead underwriter for a telecommunications IPO, the first largest privatization in Asia. This was followed by the privatization of oil companies and the initial public listing of oil.

As an underwriter, Goldman Sachs has been paid hundreds of millions of dollars in the process of going public on oil, but it was undoubtedly a bad deal for the Celestial Empire.

As of '08, international investors have made as much as $12 billion from investing in oil. Moreover, because of financing problems, an oil company had to make unnecessary concessions to the multinational oil giant BP.

Over the past century, Ilang Petroleum has plundered and exploited oil resources in the Middle East, and today BP is its successor. International investors such as Warren Buffett, who invested $488 million in oil and had a capital gain of about $3 billion when he sold his stake in October 2007, also benefited international investors such as Warren Buffett, who invested $488 million in oil.

And all of this has a lot to do with Paulson, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, who came to the Celestial Empire with a smile and friendship on his face, but played financial embezzlement and high-sounding robbery.

In the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis, Paulson's focus was on protecting Wall Street's banking community, which is not surprising. However, the person who caused the crisis was none other than Paulson, who "has been one of the most active Wall Street participants in Greenspan's new securitization reforms." It was Goldman Sachs, with Paulson as CEO, "pushing for securitization reforms and endless demonstrations of new products" that put Wall Street on the brink of collapse.

"For those U.S. property owners who are facing foreclosure and bankruptcy, the Washington Emergency Rescue Plan doesn't offer anything, and really, it doesn't surprise me at all.

This, in my opinion, is a ruse by Paulson, who aims to save his Wall Street cronies and enrich Goldman Sachs by buying toxic financial products and saving the crumbling US financial system. In Paulson's emergency relief plan, Goldman Sachs and MG Stanley are perhaps "the biggest beneficiaries of it"!

Li Xiaoying's original gentle temperament like water has completely disappeared when she talks about professional analysis, and has been replaced by a wise, calm and sharp edge.

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched slightly, his face was gloomy as water, he looked at Li Xiaoying indifferently, and said in a voice revealing a chill: "You are very smart, but you know too much... Smack!"

"Gurgle... ”

"Boring!"

Ivana, who was a little uneasy by Andy's change of color, watched Andy naughtily stretch out his hand and compare it to a pistol, at Li Xiaoying, and after making a slap of onomatopoeia in her mouth, she couldn't help but laugh, and Li Xiaoying was even more wide-eyed, and complained coldly about boredom.

"Hehe, Paulson is a bastard, but how can he build up wealth so quickly without his bailout? He's definitely a good guy to me, that's enough. Andy smirked.

Li Xiaoying looked at Andy lightly for a few seconds, then chuckled: "Don't take people all over the world for fools, after the financial crisis, it will inevitably trigger a wave of reflection, and then many people will see things through, and you may not be able to stand alone." ”

"I know, however, the only flaw is the acquisition process of Yingtai Bank, but the special treatment of special times, even in the face of the investigation of the hearing, I am not worried, after all, the FDIC and the Treasury, the Federal Reserve are all accomplices, and they don't even need me to say anything, they will chop off the claws that reach out to me, cough cough, the word accomplice is a little ambiguous, well, it's a partner... ”

Andy shrugged indifferently and said, holding knives and forks in both hands, focusing on dealing with the food on the plate, not caring about Li Xiaoying's worries at all.

"Evil capitalism!" Li Xiaoying pursed her lips and complained softly, she is not a fool, she naturally knows that in the acquisition and merger of Yingtai Bank, there will be a lot of interests for some of the forces and people involved in it to be divided, which is a number of banks worth tens of billions.

Andy's Yingtai Bank's current total assets are only a few billion dollars, and the rest are toxic bonds worth tens of billions of dollars and unrealizable mortgage asset certificates, so it is self-evident where the other assets have gone. It was a feast for no one or one force to enjoy, and she knew Andy knew it better than anyone else.

。。。。。。

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the executives of the think tank led by Alvitatre, the executives of the investment company led by Badstone, and Carl and his fiancée, who arrived on the charter plane, were led by bodyguards to the Haizi Courtyard.

Since Andy moved into the Haizi Courtyard, the nearby residents knew that the mysterious Haizi Courtyard belonged to the world's 20th super-rich people, and this news also spread quickly, and there were naturally more reporters around.

However, because it was blocked by the fence and the high wall of the courtyard, no one knew the specific situation in the courtyard, so they could only squat and wander around the perimeter, and the frequent foreigners, tall bodyguards, and so on all became the talk of nearby residents after tea and dinner.

"It's good, you're getting more and more enjoyable... Carl, who was getting more and more normal, teased Andy as he placed the black suitcase he was carrying on the desk in his study.

Andy gave Carl a blank look, and said angrily, "Key!"

Karl shrugged and took down a black carbon key from a white rope around his neck with his left hand and handed it to Andy, and opened the handcuffs that were handcuffed with the handle of the suitcase and his right hand, and said with some bitterness: "Can you change people in this kind of thing in the future?" Transporting such valuable things, even if there are bodyguards to protect me, I am also worried about this way." ”

"I can't trust others, besides, your thing, it's just 20 million things, are you so cowardly?" Andy said lightly, taking the key to open the secret lock of the suitcase, and then began to enter the password.

"Click-"

Opening the suitcase, there was a black velvet jewelry box fixed in the middle inside, Andy reached out and took out the jewelry box, and couldn't wait to open it.

A stunning, sparkling, dazzling and dazzling pink diamond appeared before Andy's eyes.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, when I first saw it, I was also fascinated by it, this pink diamond was discovered by the American jeweler Harley Winston more than 60 years ago, and the Geological Society of America rated it as a Fancy Intense pink diamond, which has a purity of VVS2, which is a very slightly flawed diamond. The auction house authority has assigned its grade to 2A, indicating that it is very rare.

As the treasure of the Harry Winston brand, you can buy it for only $28 million this time, which has to make people sigh that you are lucky. Carl said with emotion, his eyes full of envy.

"Hehe, thank you for this, I didn't expect you to be able to hook up with Harry Winston, to be honest, I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable diamond as a marriage proposal, which solved my urgent need. Andy picked up the rare 24.78-carat pink diamond ring set in the white gold setting in the jewelry box, and looked at it with slightly squinted eyes.

"Sure enough, are you ready to propose to Ivana?" Carl didn't seem surprised by the news at all, after all, Andy wouldn't give away this kind of rare treasure worth more than 20 million yuan.

"Well, it's almost time, there are some things that have to be balanced. Andy carefully put the pink diamond ring into the jewelry box and covered it, glanced at Carl and said, then turned around and took down a picture frame in the middle of the bookshelf, revealing a safe, after the fingerprint and password were verified, the safe door popped up, Andy put the jewelry box in and closed it.

"Well, congratulations in advance, Ivana will die of happiness. Carl congratulated with a smile.

"Keep it a secret for now, don't tell me that you're leaking!Let's go, the party is almost over. Andy instructed Carl as he walked out.
