Chapter 371: Two Messages
In the days since her husband Austin returned to New York, the aftermath of the two "ghost treasure thefts" in Boston has gradually calmed down. And the life of the young couple has also returned to the ordinary and warm daily life at home.
During the day, Pei Pei would wake up early with her husband, help him prepare breakfast, and take care of his clothes before he went out.
At the end of a busy day at work in Austin, the couple sometimes chose to go out on dates, and sometimes stayed in this apartment by the River East, enjoying the warmth of home time between the couple.
In these days, the account that Pei Pei handed over to Austin for investment and financial management, under Austin's operation, the steady and steady passage of guò in the international crude oil market has been in and out of the short term, in just two weeks, Pei Pei's book has made a profit of more than 100 million US dollars!
After learning about this profit, Pei Pei was so happy that she even ate two more steaks that night!
The days passed like this, and before I knew it, the calendar of '08 had flipped over May to June!
On June 2, when Austin returned to his apartment, he told his wife two good news with a smile on his face—
The first news is that the Supreme Court in Washington has officially announced the date of the second trial of the "Brown Bear Tribal Land Claim Case".
With the relationship behind Austin, the court date did not conflict with the upcoming "Belgian Grand Prix". The Belgian Grand Prix will be held on June 7 and June 8, and the second trial of the "Brown Bear Tribal Land Claim" will be held. It was scheduled for June 11.
The second piece of good news is about the subprime mortgage crisis.
From the very beginning, Austin has never stopped following up and tracking the subsequent development of this information from various channels.
According to all the information that Austin has so far, many powerful listed banks, including Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, have begun to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall before the quarterly report in the second quarter of this year is disclosed. At present, the bad debt hole of these listed banks has become bigger and bigger, and it has reached a stage where it can no longer be hidden!
If no effective solution can be found, the fuse of the subprime mortgage crisis will be ignited as soon as the quarterly reports of these listed banks for the third quarter are released to the public!
To put it bluntly, what works is the solution, which is before the quarterly report for the third quarter is disclosed. I can find some more unlucky people who are stupid and have a lot of money. Fill the hole in these bad debts!
It is a pity that the big chaebols and big investment banks in European countries have long been deeply regretting why they hold so many subprime bonds and US national bonds, and they have reached this stage. Everyone has already seen that this is a powder keg. Explode at the touch of a button!
Of course. If the price is negotiated, it is also profitable!
However, one party wants to cut down the price, and the other party is not willing to cede shares so cheaply.
Thereupon. A stalemate has formed on both sides!
On the one hand, they pinned their hopes on the fact that the old American government would reach out and pull them, while on the other hand, they continued to print bonds in various names in their own country and other countries.
Lehman's minibonds issued in Hong Kong swept away HK$11.2 billion from Hong Kong, which was converted into about US$1.6 billion in US dollars (the average annual exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars against the US dollar in '08 was about 1:7). Such a large amount of money can only cover up the bad debt hole in the second quarter quarterly report that will be released to the public, so that Lehman can delay the crisis until the next quarter.
In addition to Lehman, other banks have also come up with their own means to collect money around the world to make up for the bad debt holes in their own banks' books.
Since no one is willing to buy subprime mortgage bonds issued in the name of real estate, let's simply change the face, there is no shortage of fools in this world.
As a result, various types of bonds issued in the name of low-carbon environmental protection have begun to appear on the market.
For example-
A bank, with the support of the government, raised more than $100 million from Massachusetts in just one month for bonds issued under the name of "Accelerated Energy".
In Colombia and Mexico, some banks have joined forces to issue a large number of "green transportation" bonds, and according to incomplete numbers, Mexico alone has raised nearly $300 million in just one month.
In addition, some banks have set their sights on the automotive energy sector in Asia. In cooperation with Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, a large number of "automotive energy bonds" were issued in Japan.
As for the Japanese, they like to lick the ass of American godfathers the most, and the bonds issued by these old American banks in Japan have been sold out in a very short time.
As a result, these American bankers, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to woo some well-known companies in Japan, uniting Lever, Toyota, and Regency-Centers, three well-known companies representing the consumer goods, automobiles, and real estate industries, respectively, to issue a large number of bundled bonds. The name of the bond is also very distinctive, called "Unilever Sustainable Living Plan Bond".
Not to mention, the issuance of such a nonsensical name bond in Japan is still extremely popular, and the little Japanese people still have to buy it!
According to what Austin learned, after the first batch of bonds was issued, these old American bankers have raised $1.25 billion from the Japanese market. The issuance of the next tranche of bonds will be further expanded, from $1.25 billion to $1.75 billion.
Hearing the number of pens reported by Austin, Pei Pei couldn't help but sigh that this group of old American officials and capitalists had a variety of methods and flexibility!
Look at this group of officials and capitalists in Lao Mei, how many pieces of melons are turning in their heads!
After the crisis of the Internet collapse broke out in 01, the officials and capitalists of Lao Mei immediately threw out the real estate industry to save the market! After the rescue of the market, take advantage of this shareholder wind to enclose land and money all over the world!
Now the crisis in the real estate industry is also on the verge of breaking out, so these capitalists immediately turned their guns around, pulled up the tiger skin of the "energy crisis", and once again began to circle money everywhere in the world! No wonder Goldman Sachs Bank has moved its brains to the international crude oil market!
Pei Pei (author) was thinking in her heart, if the tiger skin of the "energy crisis" is also torn apart, what kind of tricks will these officials and capitalists in the United States throw out at that time? (To be continued......)
PS: I don't know if readers have the impression that since 08 years, the topic of environmental protection and energy conservation has begun to be called for all over the world.
I remember one year later, an unknown hacker intercepted an email between two superpowers (one of which must have been the United States, and the other was forgotten by the author) about the layout of environmental protection, and then put the email on a well-known international forum to expose it, and people around the world began to come to their senses. As a result, various "environmental conspiracy theories" of analysis and research began to appear online.
