Chapter 330: The Shadow of the Financial Turmoil Emerges (Part II)
Pepe snapped her fingers as she spoke, and then looked at her husband with burning eyes and continued: "Moreover, the people will also believe that it is because of the incompetence of the Republican Treasury Secretary, and then through the guidance of public opinion, it will lead to attack the current Republican Cabinet for improper governance."
"You're right! So," Austin continued, "Even I, the future head of the Hercules Group, attended tonight's banquet, and even the Heckless Investment Bank under my name has issued a lot of subprime bonds, but because I am a supporter of the Democratic Party, and with Henry Paulson, the current Secretary of the Treasury, the old Antonio will never invite me to smoke a cigar with them!" Hehehe"
"Shhhh If you don't smoke this cigar, you won't smoke it! Pepe comforted her husband and said, "Anyway, we already know what we should know!" In terms of timeline, we didn't get the news much later than Merrill Lynch! I can guess from your analysis that the old Antonio is digging into the corner of his bank, but at the same time he is thinking about relying on the support of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, hoping that they can work together to save it! ”
"It's not enough to save it, 'Merrill Lynch' is a veteran investment bank that has been established for more than 100 years!" Although Austin's analysis of the future is very accurate, he cannot imagine at this time how drastic the impact of the future subprime mortgage crisis will be if it really erupts.
Therefore, he still made a more conservative judgment on the form of "Merrill Lynch": "I guess this cigar room conversation tonight. It is highly likely that they are debating how to continue to expand the transfer of risk, and the 'Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom' and 'Marshall'. West Global Financial Funds' is the Republican Party's chosen partner! After all, without the cooperation of the local European banks, if you want to continue to transfer risks to European countries, are you fools to be the analysts of the central banks of various countries and the financial advisers of the old European families? ”
"You mean," Pepe glared at her husband in disbelief, "Barclays and the hedge fund already know all the details of this risk?" ”
"I'm just guessing!" Austin smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn't I tell you, the one who should have been put on the suit has already been put on the set!" Do you think 'Barclays' will have less subprime bonds and US treasury bonds than other EU countries? So, the capitalists are all dirty! Now that they have all been dragged into the water, there is only one way to join forces and pass on the risk to other countries in Europe or Asia! With the signature of 'Barclays Bank', which has an extraordinary influence in the EU, joining this plan, the certainty of success will be even greater! ”
"My dear. What about you. How are you going to deal with it? Pepe looked at her husband worriedly and asked, "The current ruling party is the Republican Party, and you have already taken a clear position on the side of the Democratic Party." Today, the elder Antonio can abandon you and discuss a solution privately with the Republicans, and tomorrow other forces that are friendly with the Republicans will also avoid your Heckles Investment Bank. I believe. It's not just one or two that have inside information. What will you do if you are excluded from this plan to save the crisis? ”
Austin stroked his wife's hairline. Smiled and comforted: "Little fool! Have you forgotten what I do? Now that I have this insider information in advance, it is time for this subprime mortgage crisis to break out in the future. Among the plutocrats who were divided into 'victims' by the Republican Party, there would never be my 'Hercules Investment Bank'! Don't forget, I have a lot of cash flow right now, and I can take advantage of this crisis to short the Dow Jones! Maybe."
Austin rubbed his chin as he spoke, chuckling, "Hehehe, maybe, I can take this opportunity to make a lot of money!" ”
"Really?" Pepe's eyes lit up, and her heartstrings immediately relaxed.
"So, my dear, you don't have to worry about me being affected!"
After saying this, Austin glanced sideways out of the car window, then turned to his wife and said, "I'm almost home soon!" After going back to the apartment for a while, I need to make a few phone calls right away, and I may be late at night! ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead, then smiled at his wife and said, "I'm sorry, dear, I can't sleep with you tonight!" You can wash up early and go back to your room to rest first! ”
Pepe, who aspires to be a virtuous and good wife, of course, shows her considerate attitude.
Therefore, Pepe immediately said: "Of course there is no problem! You are busy with your work and go! ”
After speaking, she also gently snuggled on her husband's shoulder, and said softly: "By the way, dear, I see that you haven't eaten much at the banquet before, I'll make you some supper in a while!" What do you want to eat? ”
Austin gently stroked his wife's cheek, nodded with a smile, and instructed, "Don't make it too complicated for me, you can just make me a sandwich." Well, by the way, make me another pot of coffee! Thank you, dear! ”
After saying that, he took the back of his wife's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
By the time I got back to the apartment, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening.
As soon as the couple walked through the door of the apartment, they began to settle down.
After Austin took off his coat and scarf, he threw it to his wife to clean up, and then walked directly into the study door with his mobile phone.
Pepe, on the other hand, went upstairs and quickly changed into a house coat and went straight to the kitchen
In less than twenty minutes, Pepe had prepared the sandwich and coffee that her husband had requested, then knocked on the door of the study with a tray, opened the door and walked in.
Austin was now in front of the microphone of his phone, speaking at a rapid pace of a series of commands.
When he saw his wife come in with a tray, he paused without pausing, then gestured to her, and then pointed to the desk in front of him. This means obviously, now he can't care about eating supper, let his wife put down the tray and go out!
Pepe sighed and placed the tray in front of Austin.
Then, she picked up Austin's exclusive coffee cup, poured a cup of coffee and put it on her husband's right hand before quietly exiting the study.
That night, Austin was busy until half past one in the morning before returning to his room to sleep next to Pepe, (to be continued......)
PS: After waking up at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, I have drunk a total of five cups of pure black coffee without sugar and milk so far! After barely finishing a paragraph, my head exploded! It's true! The forehead has been aching all the time!
Alas~~~ After reading it twice, I finally think that my nonsense is more reasonable, what do book friends think? Say it weakly, even if you think it's unreasonable, please let it go! I really did my best!
Finally, ask for subscriptions, monthly passes, rewards, and recommendations! If I can receive a surprise tomorrow, I promise, the third one will definitely be!
