Although Austin was talking and talking, unconsciously pulling the topic away, Pei Pei was still quite willing to inquire about these inside information.

Later, it was Austin himself who realized that he had taken the topic away. So, as soon as the conversation changed, he quickly turned the topic back to the original theme -

These listed banks with bad debts, although they have thrown out the big tiger skin of the "energy crisis" in a flash of inspiration, have attracted a lot of funds from all over the world. However, these funds are still not enough to fill such a huge hole in their books.

Moreover, various sources show that although the quarterly reports of these listed banks in the second quarter are the funds that have been circled by the big tiger skin of the "energy crisis" and the books have been flattened by tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis can only be delayed for another three months at most.

When analyzing this, Austin changed the conversation again and extended it to the topic of the increasingly competitive presidential election-

The dark-skinned candidate elected by the Democratic Party, Xiao Okuhei, even if he has a public opinion of "racial equality", is still extremely unfavorable to him, and the vote base is far behind that of the Republican candidate, Comrade McCain!

You must know that Comrade McCain has been nominated as a presidential candidate in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections for two consecutive terms, and with this election in 2008, Comrade McCain has participated in the presidential election for the third time!

In terms of election experience, popularity, and the basic vote base of sympathy votes, all these advantages possessed by Comrade Lao Mai are combined. The votes obtained so far have been thrown off the boss of Xiao Ohei's classmates!

(PS: This is true, before the financial crisis broke out in 08, Xiao Aohei's votes were significantly behind Comrade Lao Mai!) ）

If Xiao Ohei wants to catch up, he doesn't have to do anything else, that is, he doesn't want to win at all!

Xiao Ohei lost the presidential election, which means that the Democratic Party lost the presidential election!

According to the practice of previous presidents, once elected president, the president can generally be re-elected until the next term unless physical reasons or other serious scandals are exposed.

Therefore, if the Democrats lose the presidential election this time. The next chance to govern the United States can only be hoped for in the 2016 presidential election!

Those who support the Democratic Party. How can you be willing to admit defeat?

The Republican Party wants to cover up the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, and wants to delay the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis until after the curtain of victory in the presidential election.

But how could its old enemy, the Democratic Party, not take advantage of such a good opportunity to fight a beautiful turnaround?

(PS again: In real history, the votes of Xiao Okuhei's classmates.) It was because of the outbreak of the financial crisis that he turned over and won the presidential election in one fell swoop! As for the various dark deals behind the scenes. I'll analyze it later. ）

With the presidential election on the table, the two parties are increasingly competing. The undercurrent of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party under the table is also on the verge of breaking out!

Therefore, as Austin, who has long been on the side of the Democratic Party, has long been on the side of the Democratic Party, at this time. He has already obtained a list of various chaebol groups that have been swept into the ranks of "victims".

Among them, the name of Lehman Brothers, which is famous in the world and claims to be the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, is ranked first - who is called Lehman Brothers always likes snakes and rats, here there is talk and laughter with the Republicans, and there is collusion with the Democrats!

In addition, the amount of subprime mortgage financial products held by Lehman accounts for more than 11% of the total amount of subprime mortgage products in the United States!

Eleven percent! With such a huge hole, Lao Mei, these chaebol bosses, and officials, no one is a fool, and who is willing to fill this hole for Lehman! So, who else can be the first victim of Lei Mei?

If in the past, when Lehman Brothers still had abundant capital and did not have any loopholes of its own, whether it was the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, it was too late to cling to each other, how could they dare to pluck the hair on the tiger's mouth!

But who is called Lehman, the tiger is now in the period of illness and weakness, as long as the Lehman tiger is swept away, more chaebol forces are eyeing up Lehman's assets, so as to win the glorious title of "the fifth largest investment bank in the United States" in one fell swoop!

Therefore, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party regard Lehman, a sick tiger, as a petition to win over other forces, in an attempt to gain more favorable support in the increasingly fierce presidential election!

However, Austin told Sù Pei Pei that no matter how sick and weak Lehman is, the means of anti-risk are still good!

According to some of the information he received, Lehman had long anticipated the imminent subprime mortgage crisis and was trying to save himself from the crisis!

Moreover, Austin also analyzed a piece of information from the various inside information he collected - Lehman had already begun to quietly transfer a large amount of cash on his books when the first signs of the crisis appeared.

According to the information received by Austin, Lehman seems to have a premonition that he may be abandoned by the government. Therefore, in the recent period, Lehman's senior management has transferred more than one billion dollars in cash to its independent subsidiary "Hudson-Castle" abroad!

And this cash, in the financial statements disclosed by Lehman, does not have any book records!

Not to mention Austin, who was born in mergers and acquisitions all day long, even Pei Pei, who is a financial novice, can guess what kind of trick Lehman is playing as long as his mind turns a little - all these amounts must be used in the subprime mortgage loss!

All the bloodless financial games before the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, just thinking about it, made Pei Pei feel a chilling tremble!

Pei Pei couldn't help but shiver at the moment.

Then, she took the long list of "victims" from Austin's hand, and read the names one by one—

In addition to Lehman's sick tiger, there are dozens of local banks on the list that have already reached the point where bad debts are about to explode in a quarter at most, and the names of these local banks are also on this "sacrifice list" - (to be continued......
