Chapter 377: "Sniper" Merrill Lynch (II)

Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it! Occupy the pit chapter! Don't buy it!

After Pei Pei made such a calculation in her heart, she replied to Austin: "I plan to open five more VIP bank accounts, so after this calculation, the betting capital on the first day of the game should be ready for 99.99 million US dollars!" In this way, on the first day, you can help me leave a principal of 100 million in my account first! ”

Austin wasn't surprised by his wife's big bet. In fact, even he himself plans to take advantage of the two-day competition to take advantage of the two-day competition to take out about 100 million funds to bet on the first game of the "Triple Crown"!

The reason why Austin made this decision is because he is very relaxed at this moment - he has already thought about the consequences, and if he loses money, it will be regarded as a bet on the last "Kentucky Grand Prix" / The money is less than 100 million!

Therefore, Austin, who had this mentality, nodded to his wife with an extremely relaxed attitude after hearing the amount quoted by his wife: "Okay, I know!" Have you figured out which banks you want to open an account with? ”

Pei Pei's eyes rolled and she looked at her husband slyly and smiled: "Didn't you say that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are calculating Lehman Brothers?" So, these two banks are definitely among my choices! Oh yes, in addition to these two investment banks, based on the analysis of the internal information you have investigated, you should definitely know which other big investment banks can survive this subprime mortgage crisis! So, I'm going to listen to your advice on the other three banks before making a decision! ”

Austin gave a funny side glance at his wife. After picking up the ashtray and shaking the ashes, he didn't bother to sell anything to his wife, and directly reported the names of several banks-

"Tomorrow morning, I will ask the driver Moore to come to the apartment to pick you up, and when the time comes, he will take you to Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America and the New York branch of Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom, and accompany you through all the procedures for opening accounts with these banks!"

Pei Pei didn't have any hesitation about the banks her husband had built, so she nodded immediately after hearing her husband's answer.

Followed by. Curiosity arises from Pei Pei. Stretched out his finger and poked Austin's arm, squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Honey, is there any secret action of Citibank, Bank of America and Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom that has made you notice the signs recently?" ”

Austin put one hand around his wife's shoulder, and the other hand pointed at the tip of his wife's nose and smiled, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Pei Pei wrinkled her little nose. Faced her husband with an expression of "I am the Emperor of Truth". Then he crossed his legs and Shi Shiran said: "Cut!" Just by your dog's nose. If you didn't smell the wind in advance, how could you have used such a positive tone to build an account with these banks! So, I just need to use my brain a little bit. I also want to know, the three banks you reported behind must have made you aware of something recently! ”

Saying that, Pei Pei put on an expression of "am I not very smart", raised her neck and said arrogantly: "I should have guessed correctly, right?" ”

Austin laughed and praised his wife very cooperatively: "Hmm! It's getting better! ”

"Shh Her husband's praise was very perfunctory at first glance, and Pei Pei's expression suddenly became stupid.

So, she pursed the corners of her lips, then stretched her arms and stretched Austin's waist, "Tell me what Citigroup, Bank of America and Barclays have done in the recent period?" ”

Austin didn't plan to hide anything from his wife at all, he even planned to join his wife at that time, taking advantage of the imminent turmoil, fishing in troubled waters in the early stage, and sniping at a "prey" he had already fancied - Merrill Lynch Bank with his wife's capital in the later stage.

Therefore, Austin did not hesitate to share all the information he had recently investigated with his wife-

"Then I'll tell you about the recent moves of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase!" Austin pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and snuffed it out, then slowly spoke—

"According to all the information I have investigated, these three groups are now starting to snipe at 'Lehman Brothers'! It is no secret on Wall Street that Lehman is currently in a crisis of entering the fault line of the capital chain, but Lehman itself has a strong enough foundation and so many immovable assets in its name! Therefore, in order to survive this crisis, Lehman is ready to sell or mortgage some of its real assets to raise enough funds! At present, in addition to Goldman Sachs Group, the other two companies that have extended olive branches to these immovable assets are Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase Group! ”

After a pause, Austin said: "Goldman Sachs Group was the first to contact Lehman, but Goldman Sachs opened an overall packaging agreement!" Lehman, of course, is not willing to 'sell' himself to Goldman Sachs so cheaply! As a result, it began to secretly contact Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase Group again! It's a secret, but in fact even I know it, let alone Goldman Sachs! Therefore, this news should be consciously released by Lehman, in order to raise his 'worth' in the negotiation process between the two sides! It's a pity, it's a pity."

When he said this, Austin couldn't help but chuckle: "If this method had been put in the past, maybe it would still work!" But at the moment, everyone knows that this stage is the most difficult stage Lehman has ever had! If you don't take this opportunity to step on it and completely destroy it, you don't know when the next opportunity will be! Therefore, in the negotiations with Lehman, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase expressed their agreement to accept Lehman to lend to them in the form of collateral, and on the other hand, they delayed the negotiation process in the name of assessing the value of the collateral. ”

"So, you decided to follow this shareholder trend and take the opportunity to short Lehman and profit from it, right?" Pei Pei asked with a wink. (To be continued......)
