AIG's action is tantamount to formally admitting to the outside world that AIG Group is in trouble because of the subprime mortgage crisis.

There was a public uproar, and AIG's stock price immediately began to plummet from the day the news was announced

Bear Stearns has just been bought by JPMorgan Chase at a low price of about $236 million ($2 per share), and now there is such a blockbuster event of "AIG applying for financial assistance from the Ministry of Finance"!

Take another look - the stock prices of Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, XX Bank, XX Bank, and many other listed groups involved in the guarantee and issuance of subprime mortgage bonds are also continuing to fall!

At this time, not to mention the celebrities at the top of the pyramid, even some ordinary investors at the bottom of the stock market have already noticed that something is wrong!

At this time of the upcoming presidential change, the US Treasury is still trying its best to cover up and delay the official outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, so the Dow Jones index can still maintain a slight decline and a slow decline.

And the analysts of the financial channels of various TV stations have tacitly unified their voices and deceived the public by saying that the slight decline of the Dow Jones index is just a technical adjustment and other false lies.

But how long will this veil of false gloss last?

No one dares to assert!

As long as it is a little knowledgeable investors, their first reaction. It is to find another hedging channel for your funds as soon as possible! - For example, the international gold market!

And a certain part of bold and ambitious speculators are already brewing to short the Dow Jones index - such as Austin!

Li Chenghua, as Austin's father-in-law, belongs to the earlier group of insiders from the point of time he received the inside information.

What worries him the most is that once the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out, the entire US stock market will definitely suffer a collapse! At that time, even if the U.S. government came forward to save the market, it was inevitable that some careerists who took advantage of the fire to rob would wait for the opportunity!

As we all know, "Kangmei Group" is a high-quality listed company with extremely good assets, and such a high-quality company has already been coveted by countless careerists before it was listed.

Therefore. When the subprime mortgage crisis erupted, the entire U.S. stock market collapsed - the careerists who had been salivating over Kangmei's high-quality assets would certainly not give up such a good opportunity. We will definitely take the opportunity to suppress Kangmei's stock price, and wait until Kangmei's stock price is suppressed to a very low price, and then make a large number of acquisitions and absorptions, and take this opportunity to formally join Kangmei's board of directors.

Of course, all the members of Kangmei's current board of directors definitely don't want to see such a situation happen.

And Kangmei's board of directors wants to hold Kangmei's stock price and fight a beautiful financial turnaround. The premise is to have sufficient cash flow!

Thereupon. In the period before the subprime mortgage crisis was about to erupt. Austin's Heckless Investment Bank, as one of the board members of Kangmei, is also the designated market maker of Kangmei. The first thing he has to do is to join forces with his father-in-law and make all the preparations in the early stage to face this financial sniper war that may be encountered.

————————— this is the dividing line that represents a return to the topic—————————

Pei Pei took her father-in-law and mother-in-law to drive to the hotel where her mother's family lived, and after meeting with the family, the two elders exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the man went to work with the man, and the woman went to the woman's shopping.

Li Chenghua and Oliver Sr. went directly to Austin's company, while Peipei took her mother, Qin Wanyu, her mother-in-law, Vera, and her best friend Lilian together, and the four ladies went straight to Fifth Avenue next to Central Park to start their women's favorite shopping trip.

The luxury stores on Fifth Avenue offer home delivery.

Therefore, even after more than three hours of shopping with their credit cards, the four women can still go to the next store empty-handed.

By about half past one in the afternoon, the four women finally felt their bellies start to get hungry.

So, they found a nearby restaurant, sat down and began to order.

While waiting for the meal to be served, the two mothers began to chat-

While chatting, Peipei's mother-in-law, Vera, brought the conversation to the conversation in the morning.

And Qin Wanyu, as an in-law, was also very happy when she heard that her daughter had determined that she would start preparing to give birth to the next generation next year at the latest.

"Our Pell and your Austin, the two of them are handsome men and beautiful women, and the mixed-race babies born in the future will definitely be beautiful! Hehehehe, I can't wait to be my grandmother! Qin Wanyu happily pulled the chair closer to her in-law Vera.

Then I saw these two beautiful women who were about to become grandmothers discuss with each other.

And Peipei's best friend Lilian quietly whispered to her best friend: "You guy, you are actually ready to have a child so early?" As a good sister, I would like to remind you to think carefully before you decide! ”

Pei Pei glanced at Qin Wanyu and Vera, who were sitting next to her, who were excitedly talking about baby education, and then turned her head sideways to cover her mouth with her hand, and gently replied to Lilian: "I am already difficult to ride a tiger now!" In the morning, I was stared at by three pairs of eyes so firmly waiting for me to make a statement, you say, how could I answer at that time? ”

After Lilian "snorted", she patted her best friend on the shoulder and teased: "Giving birth early also has the advantage of giving birth early, at least the body is easy to recover!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Lillian squeezed her eyebrows and said, "After your baby is born, how about I be his (her) godmother?" ”

Pei Pei immediately shook her head.

Before Lilian opened her mouth, she thought it was a sure thing, but she didn't expect her best friend to shake her head and refuse.

I saw her twist Pei Pei's arm angrily and said, "Don't let me be the godmother of your baby." I'm going to break you off! ”

Pei Pei shook her arms to dodge Lilian's claws, and then grinned

"Say YES! Otherwise, I'll just keep going! Lillian bared her teeth in scare.

Pei Pei and Lilian giggled for a while before expressing their thoughts to their best friend: "Godmother must not be for you!" ”

Before she could say the rest of the sentence, Lillian had already tilted her head to the other side in anger, and put on a posture of breaking off friendship.

"Flutter-" Pei Pei couldn't help laughing: "What are you in a hurry, listen to me finish speaking!" ”

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Lillian's shoulders over, and then explained with a smile, "It's not just for you, it's that I won't let anyone be my child's godfather or godmother!" Because I had no intention of converting my children to Christianity! ”

Lilian listened to the answer. I was stunned for a moment.

Followed by. Her eyes glanced in the direction of Vera on the other side.

After finding that Vera was chatting happily with Qin Wanyu at this moment, and didn't notice what Pei Pei had just said, Lilian stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and whispered hello to her best friend: "I know that most of you Chinese don't believe in Christ, but have you discussed this idea with Austin?" ”

Pei Pei shook her head: "Early this morning in the restaurant. Austin's father suddenly shifted the conversation to the issue of having children. I didn't have time to think about the faith of my future children. But—"

Pei Pei looked at her good friend with a firm look in her eyes and said, "Regarding the belief of my future child." I'm definitely not going to back down! ”

"If you don't believe in Christianity, then you plan to let your future children believe in your Chinese Buddhism?" Lillian asked curiously.

After Pei Pei rolled her eyes at Lilian, she shook her head and said, "You still have one-eighth of Chinese ancestry." I don't even know the most basic allusions! Buddhism is not the traditional state religion of China, it spread from India to China before it slowly spread in China! And China's native state religion is Taoism! So, I will let my future children believe in Taoism! ”

As she spoke, Pei Pei whispered to Lily, "Not only that, but I also plan to add the surname 'Lee' to all my children's surnames in the future!" In addition, I will give each child a Chinese name with the surname Li. ”

After listening to this, Lilian scratched the back of her head and shrugged her shoulders: "In my judgment, Old Oliver will definitely not care about you adding a 'Li' surname to your child's surname, nor will he care about you giving your child an extra Chinese name, but he will definitely not agree to let the children of the Heckles family believe in any Taoism and not accept God's baptism!" So"

Lilian didn't say anything about the rest of the words, but just reached out and patted her best friend's shoulder, and at the same time, there was an obvious look of sympathy on her face.

Even if Lillian didn't say it, Pei Pei could guess what she was saying next. However, Pei Pei is not worried at all that she will not be able to achieve this goal, who called her a golden finger! Against old Oliver, it's a hand-to-hand deal.

"Let's not talk about this topic for now!" After Pei Pei chuckled, she changed the subject and said, "Although I can't let you be my child's godmother, I can let you be the child's godmother!" Godmother is almost the same as the meaning of your godmother, how about it, are you satisfied with this identity? ”

In fact, when Lillian heard that her best friend's reason for rejection was because of her faith, she was already not very angry.

Now that I heard that I could still be a "godmother", my heart immediately became more comfortable.

So, she pulled her best friend and muttered, asking what obligations the "godmother" in Chinese relations needs to fulfill and so on.

Talking and laughing, lunch is over. (To be continued......)

PS: Most of the chapters released in the last few days are 3,000 words per update, and two updates a day are 6,000 words. Of course, I can also split it into two thousand words of three changes, it seems that there are many updates, but in fact, the content has not changed at all. But I later found out that it seems that 2,000 words and three changes are easier to get tips or monthly passes from book friends than in the form of 3,000 words and two changes! Isn't this an allusion to the three and four and the four? Alas~~~~~~
