Chapter 324: Merrill Lynch Bank Is in Trouble?
That night, the young couple each reviewed their various deficiencies in their married life. As a result, the final result of this ex-girlfriend incident was calm, and even made the couple's post-marital relationship heat up rapidly.
For the next week, Peipei occasionally accompanied Austin to the office during the day.
Seeing Austin so busy in the company, Pei Pei felt even more - Austin was able to accompany her to Damu Town to participate in the hunting festival, accompany her through the town's rodeo festival, accompany her to Santa Monica to participate in the whole competition of the "Triple Crown", and even invite her parents to join her
Pei Pei was not blind, and several times during that time, she saw Austin holding a laptop in her study whenever she had free time to deal with all kinds of daily business that had been piled up.
Pei Pei's heart is not blind! She knew that if Austin hadn't spent more time with her, he wouldn't have had to be so fortunate to travel between Los Angeles and New York, spending more than half of the month on being a trapeze.
Therefore, in the days after the ex-girlfriend incident calmed down, Pei Pei became rare and virtuous.
The so-called virtuous deeds are all embodied in Pei Pei's personal preparation of breakfast and dinner for her husband and taking care of her husband's daily clothes.
On the issue of dinner, except for the occasional time when the couple is out on a date, they basically cook for Austin as long as they are at home, and prepare a warm and romantic dinner for Austin. Practice makes perfect, and that's why. Pei Pei's cooking skills have greatly improved.
In the morning, Pei Pei got rid of the habit of lying in bed and no longer let Austin deal with a casual breakfast as in the past.
She would wake up with Austin and prepare him a warm Chinese breakfast.
First, she plans to cultivate her husband's dining habits and make her husband more and more adaptable to Chinese dining tastes; Second, Pei Pei also hopes that her husband can warm up and warm his heart when he goes out in this cold winter.
Pei Pei even began to learn how to iron clothes.
Before this, whether Austin was married or before marriage, he basically never interfered with the Pei Pei on his body.
When Austin was alone in New York, the staff of the cleaning company would clean the entire apartment every Wednesday, send the clothes to a specialized dry cleaner, and then pick them up the following Wednesday.
And when living in Koizumi Villa or Yashan Manor. Austen's daily clothes are basically troubled by Rona and Mrs. Monks. As for Pei Pei herself. She had never been aware of this beforeβas a wife, she should take over her husband's daily life.
Now that Pei Pei finally realizes that she is already a wife, and has begun to learn how to be a good wife, Austin's clothes are starting to suffer!
When Pei Pei once again looked depressed, walked up to her husband, and then took out the burned shirt from behind her. Austin is angry, funny, helpless, and touched!
During the recent week. He is a baby wife who wants to show his virtuous side. Five of his shirts, four pairs of trousers, and one of his coats had been burned. With the one she has in her hand now, this is the sixth scrapped shirt.
However, if the shirt is burned, you can buy it again. But Austin's wife's heart is going to support the other party to continue to persevere.
So, Austin reached out and took the invalid Dolce &Gabbana shirt and threw a parabola at the trash can in a dashing manner.
After throwing the shirt into the trash, Austin turned around, put his arms around his wife's shoulders with a smile, tapped the tip of the other party's nose, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, honey, you've done a great job!" β
"I didn't mean to, I promise, I'll never make breakfast while ironing again!" Pei Pei buried her face in her husband's chest.
The reason for Peipei's weak heart is that every time she burns her clothes, she thinks that she can definitely use two things, so she happily takes the ironing rack into the kitchen, and then irons the clothes while making breakfast.
(In other words, Pei Pei has just graduated from cooking, and she does other things while making breakfast?) The ending can only be reported with hehehe! οΌ
Fortunately, it can be seen from Austin's behavior that he doesn't care about one or two pieces of clothing being burned at all. In his opinion, practice makes perfect, as long as his wife is willing to persevere, one day she will be proficient in business! However, this kind of affection of a wife is extremely rare, so as a husband, I must support and encourage it.
Thinking of this, Austin immediately smiled and cupped his wife's cheek, pecked the corner of the other party's lips, and asked with a smile: "My dear, in the future, my clothes don't have to be in such a hurry, I must iron them before I go out, you can wait for me to go to work and then iron them slowly, and then give them to me the next day." β
Pei Pei nodded in frustration.
Seeing that his wife was not relieved of the matter of burning her clothes, Austin changed the topic with a smile in order to comfort her wife: "Then is the breakfast you made me finished?" β
Pei Pei immediately swept away her frustration and said happily: "Of course! I ordered you a bowl of hot shredded chicken pasta noodles with a poached egg in it! As she spoke, she happily pulled Austin towards the table, "I've already tried the taste myself, and I promise it's absolutely delicious!" β
"Baby, aren't you in a hurry?" Austin stopped his wife's excited footsteps with a doting face, "Go to the cloakroom first and help me get me a shirt that I can wear, okay?" β
"No problem, I'll be right away!" After Pei Pei finished speaking, she ran happily into the cloakroom like a little magpie, and then took out a straight shirt and ran back to her husband.
After Austin was fully dressed, he took his wife downstairs with him.
The breakfast on the table was set aside for a long time, and the noodle soup looked a little mushy. But Austin looked at his wife's cute look of begging for praise, and still gave this breakfast a high degree of recognition.
After breakfast, Pei Pei diligently took off the coat from the hanger in the living room for Austin, and after serving her husband wisely, she put on the coat and immediately handed over a matching scarf.
When Austin came to the door of the apartment with his wife in his arms, bowed his head to kiss Pei Pei goodbye, and then prepared to go out, Austin suddenly remembered that he had almost forgotten to tell his wife a very important matter.
So, Austin took his hand off the doorknob, turned to look at his wife, and said, "Don't make dinner tonight." I'll tell Moore to pick you up at six o'clock and take you to my company. Then we went out to eat. Remember to dress up nicely! β
"Huh?" Peipei's eyes lit up, and she looked at her husband expectantly: "Are you taking me out on a date?" β
"Take you to socialize!" Austin smiled and shook his head, "Remember my friend Antonio Jr.?" His father is going to have a private party tonight, and I'm going to take you to meet some friends, and by the way, I'm going to talk to little Antonio's father about work. β
"Little Antonio?" Pei Pei looked sideways and thought for a moment. Asked her husband, "I remember." Wasn't it the time when you took me to a bar for a friend's private party just after we got engaged? The youngest of all the men in the room? I remember that time you were still drunk, and then we all left, and he was left alone in the bar to continue drinking. It's him, right? β
Austin smiled and nodded, "Yes, he's little Antonio!" Do you remember that I told you about his background? Antonio Jr.'s father is one of the major shareholders of Bank Merrill Lynch! β
"Well, that's a bit impressive!"
Austin smiled and continued: "I got some inside information two days ago that it is said that Merrill Lynch has been in big trouble lately. Our 'Indian Reservation Project' will definitely need to be joined by the banking forces, and Merrill Lynch is a well-known bank in the United States. Therefore, even if the news that Merrill Lynch has a capital chain fault problem within the Bank is finally confirmed to be true, the US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve will never sit idly by and watch this well-known bank in the United States fall into trouble! So I'm going to take advantage of tonight's dinner to get in touch with little Anthony's father, get a look at the other party, and then weigh up and decide when is the best time to make a move. β
As he spoke, Austin raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then continued: "It's almost time, it's time for me to go out, I'll tell you when I understand the specific situation, remember to dress up nicely at night!" β
With that, he bent down and pecked his wife on the cheek, then opened the door and walked out of the apartment to go to work

After seeing Austin go out, Pei Pei walked into the study with great interest, turned on the computer, and began to look up some relevant information about Merrill Lynch Bank on the Internet.
Merrill Lynch & Co. As a world-renowned financial company in the United States, it has been established for 94 years as of 08. In addition to traditional investment banking and brokerage business, its business scope also includes mutual funds, insurance, trusts, annuities and clearing services and other financial derivatives business.
Therefore, Merrill Lynch is one of the world's largest financial management consulting firms, and with the expansion of the global hegemonic foreign policy of the United States, Merrill Lynch and three other local banks in the United States - Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, and called the four major investment banks in the domestic financial industry in the United States! In the global financial world, these four U.S.-based banks have an extremely important place! (To be continued......)
PS: Book lovers should be no strangers to the financial crisis in 08! It is known that the crisis was triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in the United States. After the outbreak of Lehman Brothers, it was like a domino effect, and the shadow of the financial crisis suddenly spread to the whole world.
The Merrill Lynch bank written in the article is also within the scope of this financial crisis. However, it was fortunate for Lehman Brothers that it was rescued by the US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve and was restructured and merged by the "National Trust Savings Bank of America" for $44 billion, thus avoiding bankruptcy.
The time line of this article has finally progressed to 08, and there are two heavy events in 08 that must be mentioned in the article. The first event was, of course, the global financial turmoil that erupted in September '08. The second event was the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing on August 8.
These two events will definitely be covered in the article, but how deep they will be involved depends on whether the author's nonsense is up to them! Ha ha
