Volume 11 Chapter 43 It's time to go to hell

In these hundreds of minutes, a current Goldman Sachs executive instructed some of his senior employees to sell a guaranteed bond certificate to a U.S. client. PEN ~ FUN ~ PAVILION www.biquge.info//q Ξ’5. At the meeting, the executive called the bond a pile of "shit" and frankly admitted to his senior employees that the company lost too much money in Asia last year, and now you need to sell these worthless shit bonds to keep your jobs.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately angered American investors who held such bonds.

Forcing the executive to come forward in the face of the investigation was just an exaggeration to stimulate employees' enthusiasm for work. This explanation obviously does not quell the anger of American taxpayers, many of whom learned that the bonds they bought were worthless, angrily scolded these bitch Wall Street prostitutes and deserved hell.

In the face of public outrage, the Democratic senators in the U.S. Congress were unwilling to be lonely and set up an independent investigative agency affiliated with Congress in accordance with the constitutional mandate to conduct an independent investigation into such guaranteed bonds. A few days later, when the results of the investigation were announced, world public opinion was in an uproar.

An investigative team of Democratic senators found a shocking fact: this kind of covered bond is actually a big scam, and this kind of securities is a combination product linked to the performance of subordinated bonds, a financial trap with a complex design. Goldman Sachs employees sold the securities to U.S. investors while concealing speculative shorting of the bonds by several hedge funds, including the Paulson Foundation.

To put it bluntly, Goldman Sachs and hedge fund companies are working together to defraud American investors of their money.

The fresh release of this investigation completely angered the American people and instantly pushed Goldman Sachs Group to the opposite side of the American people. The shitgate scandal not only led to Carlridge, a vice president at Goldman Sachs who made the remarks, to receive a subpoena from the New York District Court, but also hit the covered bond market hard.

Because of the bloody case caused by Mr. Carl, vice president of Goldman Sachs, a national scolding from the United States, in addition to Goldman Sachs Group, JPMorgan Chase and a number of banks that issued such bonds also suffered. Lehman Brothers, the bank that is the most keen to issue these junk bonds, has suffered the most losses, and there is a hint of a desperate situation.

Zhao Daxi watched these news at home, and his scalp was about to blow up, and he didn't expect that after these hundreds of meeting minutes were exposed, the power would be so powerful. WikiLeaks' fierce news and independent investigation by Democratic lawmakers made this perfect combination almost instantaneous, and the U.S. stock market fell 500 points for three consecutive days, triggering a chain reaction of stock markets around the world.

Zhao Daxi sat in the living room of his home, watching the 24-hour rolling news of the Hong Kong Financial News Channel, his heart beat a few more times, and his inspiration gradually became clear, and he finally found the lever that could pry the earth. The power of online public opinion represented by WikiLeaks, and some pretending to be righteous and extraordinary American politicians in the US Congress, but in fact naΓ―ve and stupid, the combination of the two is so powerful that it can easily pry the earth up.

That night, Zhu Yu and a group of executives of Beishan Group came to the Zhao family's mansion for dinner, and the scandalous Goldman Sachs Group was chatting at the dinner table, and most of the people were gloating.

Lin Haiyan spoke politely: "Alas, this incident tells us that there is no impermeable wall in the world, you can eat more and you can't talk nonsense, how can such a confidential meeting record be uploaded to the Internet?" ”

At this time, Zhu Yu replied with a smile: "Didn't you say that a senior employee who had left Goldman Sachs secretly retained it and provided it to the WikiLeaks website for free?" ”

Zhao Daxi, as the mastermind behind the scenes, of course, knew that this meeting record was indeed secretly kept by a senior employee who was fired by Goldman Sachs, but it was not provided for free but sold to the WikiLeaks website. First, to make money for revenge, what others do is understandable.

At this time, Xu Yan, who is also a journalist, looked at the newspaper and couldn't help but praise: "This WikiLeaks website is really amazing, and you dare to publish such news, these people are not afraid of death?" ”

Zhu Yu smiled again and spoke: "Fighters for democracy, they all regard death as home." ”

A group of people gloated and chatted for a while, and Lin Haicao couldn't help but laugh softly: "What kind of mentality are you, falling into the well?" ”

Even Zhao Daxi laughed, thinking of the ugly things that Goldman Sachs Group did in China back then, but gloating was very conscientious. After eating, the group of people got together and chatted for a while, flipped through the newspapers for a while, and analyzed the first-hand information that Li Zhenggang brought back from New York for a while, and felt a little unbelievable.

The worst thing about the scandal was not Goldman Sachs, but Lehman Brothers, which was innocently implicated, and Lehman Brothers was the first to issue these junk bonds in the United States, so it suffered the greatest losses, and it already smelled of stormy weather.

After a group of discussions, Li Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and cut his head: "Have you found it, most of these problematic subordinated junk bonds are related to the real estate industry, and it is clear whether there is a bubble in the American real estate industry...... I suddenly had an ominous premonition that a new round of economic crisis was coming, and it was likely to be caused by the real estate industry. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Daxi really wanted to look at him differently, and Li Zheng was able to keenly perceive the essence of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States from the scandal of the saliva gate, and this insight was indeed amazing. In contrast, Zhu Yu is a good hand in administrative management, and his knowledge is a little worse than him.

Zhu Yu subconsciously expressed his doubts: "No, an economy as big as the United States will not collapse because of a real estate industry." ”

Li Zheng's eyes flashed with an astonishing look, and he made a generous statement: "I'm not talking nonsense, there are few things you don't know about going to the United States, and it's not just a real estate industry that has collapsed, I had dinner with friends from Ford in Detroit, Motor City, last week, and we talked about the fact that the heavy industry in the United States is almost over, and in terms of the automobile industry, most of the market share is in the hands of the Japanese and Germans, and the major companies in the Motor City are not having a good time now." ”

Only then did everyone think that he was a person who had a deep understanding of American society, and at the same time, when they heard each other's eyes, they were seriously thinking about how credible these words were.

Zhao Daxi is a person who has insights beyond the times, and at this time he couldn't help but vent his chance: "Brother Zheng is right, in addition to the real estate industry in the United States, even heavy industry is finished." ”

When everyone heard this, Zhu Yu was startled again and a little panicked: "If the US economy is over, the world economy will not be over, which is not a good thing." ”

Zhao Daxi laughed and did not hesitate to express his unique opinions: "You still worry about this, you can rest assured that the Americans are the ancestors, and the United States in a few decades may be the era of green and environmental protection industry, or enter the era of high-precision technology, which is the trend of the times." ”

There was a faint taste of great wisdom and wisdom in these words, and it made the family think seriously for a while, Mr. Zhao's words always have some truth. A group of people chatted until they were happy before they drove home, and Zhao Daxi moved again to leave Li Zheng behind and drag him to the study to say a few private words.

Speaking of the scandal-ridden Goldman Sachs Group, Li Zheng also felt very happy: "This is called a big shopkeeper bullying customers, the executives of Goldman Sachs Group have forgotten how their status came about today and how their century-old reputation came about, and they have forgotten their roots." ”

Zhao Daxi naturally grinned, and said a word: "Prosperity must decline." ”

Li Zheng deeply agrees with this: "You are right, this is called prosperity and decline. ”

The two of them muttered in the study for a while, but they still couldn't hide their enthusiasm and decided to leave for New York tomorrow to see a good show, it would be a pity if such a wonderful scene was missed. The next night, he only brought a few bodyguards and stepped on the streets of New York with Li Zheng. New York is still as bustling as it is on a regular basis, and it is no different from usual. After meeting the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, I didn't see anything unusual in the old Henry's face.

On this night, they were invited to attend the lavish dinner at Mr. Henry's house, and in the face of the grand scene of beautiful women and celebrities, Zhao and Li felt a luxurious atmosphere that was no different from usual, and they couldn't say anything at a glance, and the two of them flashed aside with a glass of foreign wine.

Li Zheng looked at the old Henry, who was talking and laughing with beautiful women, and couldn't help but scold: "These people ...... It's time to go to hell! ”

Zhao Daxi also looked at the valuable lobster feast on the table in front of him, touched his hair and smiled, and agreed with Li Zheng's statement in his heart, these scum really deserve to go to hell. On the one hand, people of insight are worried, and on the other hand, this group of scum led by the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve is still living a life of singing and singing night after night, which shows that scum is not only in China.

Cleaning up his mood, he patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What about your wife?" ”

Li Zheng also cleaned up his mood and replied easily: "I went back to my parents' house, saying that I was homesick." ”

Zhao Daxi glanced at him and suddenly laughed in unison, his wife was not at home, so he could play a little crazy. That night, in the Henry's mansion, I finally met several core members of the society, one of the White House directors and the other deputy director of the intelligence bureau. Zhao and Li had a kind face on their faces, and they exchanged greetings with the real upper-class people in American society, and they felt a little subtle at a glance, because the two of them also belonged to one of this group of scum. From being investigated by intelligence agencies to hooking up with the deputy director of the intelligence bureau today, all of this is thanks to the power of the US dollar.

It's just that the two of them have joined the club for too short a time and their performance is limited, of course people won't talk to them, Zhao Li and both of them know that there is still a long way to go to gain the trust of these people.
