"Ladies and gentlemen, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 15 times in a row, which has increased the burden on the people, so that last year, the real estate economy had a terrible recession, and the recession of the real estate economy will also affect the economy of the entire United States of America, which will have an adverse impact on all of you here, so we should lobby the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates."

"Once the rate is cut, then it will bring us ......."

Goldman Sachs' Lloyd. Blankfein's voice on the podium was passionate and sonorous, but there were few people below who responded, and the only two people who echoed it were the people of the two-room group.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac knew the dire effects of the real estate recession, and they knew better than Goldman Sachs that once the Fed announced an interest rate hike, the two housing groups would not last two years and would go bankrupt.

After bankruptcy, they will have nothing.

Every time they shuddered at the thought of this possibility, they began to lobby those present in the hope of getting some help.

At worst, they also have to lobby the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, so as to stimulate the real estate economy, so that they have more time to deal with the impending crisis calmly, rather than rushing into the ground and being crushed by the crisis.

"The Fed's interest rate hike affects not only the real estate industry, but also other industries that are affected by the Fed's interest rate hike, and the economy has declined slightly, and we should lobby the Fed to cut interest rates to stimulate the recovery of the U.S. economy."

"Lloyd. I agree with Mr. Blankfein's suggestion that the U.S. economy needs a shot in the arm, and interest rate cuts are that shot in the arm. ”

The people of the two-room group are constantly lobbying below. However, there were very few applicants.

None of the people present are hairy boys, and they will not be directly high because of a few words from others. tide, and then make irrational decisions. Those who can come this far are all old foxes, and they will not agree.

Lobbying the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates is not a trivial matter, and the funds invested start at least 100 million, and this is obvious, it is not something that can be supported by the two-house group that has fallen into the ice and snow, which is bound to hold a public offering.

It doesn't seem like much. But what reason do they have for agreeing?

This is not in private, in private they can make a thousand dollars, just for an antique and a famous painting. In private, they spend lavishly and enjoy the joy of squandering money, but at work. But they would never bring that style in.

Public is public, private is private. Public and private should be clear, and in private they can pay a lot of money without asking for returns, but in the public, they pay attention to returns, and every penny they spend, they must earn a certain profit, even if the profit is very small.

It's not a question of money, it's a question of attitude.

That's what a businessman is.

And lobbying the Fed to cut interest rates. They don't see the benefits.

As for stimulating the recovery of the US economy, hehe. Who will benefit from the U.S. economic recovery? Real estate, electronic technology, online games, so many competitors, the dividends brought by economic recovery may not fall into their pockets, but the pay is real, so they lack interest.

"It seems that Goldman Sachs' lobbying plan is very difficult to implement!" Jobs took the red wine and sipped it gently, gloating.

On the pale face, it looks a little more ruddy.

"Which one of those present is the live Lei Feng? Not a single one, and they are not going to contribute money or effort for a so-called economic recovery plan. Li Lin said with a smile, he didn't want this lobbying plan to take shape.

Because once this plan takes shape, it brings variables.

If the lobbying is not successful, it will be enough, and if it succeeds, it will immediately give a shot in the arm to the US market, which is already showing fatigue.

Although this shot in the arm could not save the coming subprime mortgage crisis, it could delay the arrival of the subprime mortgage crisis, which was greatly disadvantageous to his plan.

He is also ready to take a hard shot in the subprime mortgage crisis, how can he let such a variable appear.

So he gloated at this time.

Goldman Sachs' Lloyd. Blankfein looked at the few responders below, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Goldman Sachs Group has a great reputation and participates in economic construction around the world, and no matter where they are, their reports have always been full of respondents, and where they would expect to be met with cold reception here.

But it only took a moment for him to adjust his mentality.

He knew that these people were not government officials or economists. Bare. Naked businessmen who only care about their own interests.

It is 10,000 times harder to impress them than it is to impress officials and economists.

They don't care what economic jargon you have, no matter how good your economic report is, they just look at the part of your plan that is good for them.

If it is favorable, it will respond; No profit, sorry, not interested.

What social responsibility, what moral conscience, do you talk to them about this? They will only doze off, and the only thing that can make them bite the hook is interests, and only interests.

"And once the Fed raises interest rates again, then the U.S. economy will go to a very dangerous point, let's say ......."

Goldman Sachs' Lloyd. Blank Fein began a tirade in an attempt to persuade the businessmen below to support his plan, and in the process, he exaggerated the dangers that would arise after the rate hike.

What real estate brokerage reduction will lead to Bank of America not recoup costs, so a large number of bankruptcies and other alarmist words to intimidate these businessmen.

"That's what the people at Goldman Sachs are best at." The corners of Jobs's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Every time they convince others, they paint a picture of an impending economic crisis, frighten others and then start peddling their own economic plans to make profits." ”

He looks down on these guys who only play with finance.

He will never forget jì, it was these guys who kicked him out of the company he founded, "I didn't expect him to repeat his old tricks here again, but unfortunately, which one of the people present is not a human spirit?" They can fool high-ranking government officials and economists, but they can't fool the people present, because their way of thinking is fundamentally different. ”

At the moment of the economic crisis, senior government officials and economists are thinking about how to save the economic crisis, while businessmen are definitely thinking about how to protect themselves or even make a fortune in the economic crisis.

There are really not too many people who short the stock market during the economic crisis.

The corners of Li Lin's mouth also showed an inexplicable smile, the most powerful thing about Goldman Sachs Group is that they participate in the global economic construction, even if it is a relatively conservative Huaxia, they have also obtained the right to be an advisor, from the central government to the local government, any economic resolution has Goldman Sachs' shadow in it, like the famous local bonds, which are made by Goldman Sachs Group.

This market of up to one trillion yuan was underwritten by Goldman Sachs Group, but the consequences were eaten by the central government, and it suffered a dumb loss, and it did not dare to speak out at all.

Not only that, but when they asked, Goldman Sachs Group said that it was the local government that introduced capital, but they were speechless.

What else can be said?

The central government aims at economic development and pursues economic benefits, and local governments are firefighting, but what should we do if there is a lack of funds? Banks don't give them as much money.

In this case, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. came up with so-called local bonds, which were initially tentatively issued by local governments, but went crazy when they sensed that the central government seemed to be not expressing this.

By the time the central government reflects it, the bond has reached a trillion scale, and a large amount of domestic and foreign capital has been involved, and if it is not recognized, then the whole country will be in turmoil; And admit it, and the central government needs to pay the bill.

In the end, they chose to suffer the bitter fruit, the local government breathed a sigh of relief, the domestic capital smiled, and the Goldman Sachs Group and Wall Street capital cheered.

But of course, they don't know that the crisis is just around the corner, and the crisis is so widespread that even Goldman Sachs Group did not anticipate it, three of the five major investment banks on Wall Street have collapsed, Goldman Sachs Group is crumbling, JP Morgan Transition Bank is holding, and Wall Street has suffered heavy losses.

The vast majority of the groups present at the scene have suffered losses in this turmoil, and the US economy has collapsed, even triggering a chain reaction in the global economy, and large multinational groups have tightened their monetary resources and business, even if they do not want profits, they will not allow losses to be generated.

And embodied in the government, that is, the government does not hesitate to offend its own domestic tycoons to track down the tax evasion of multinational groups, and one after another shocking interest transmission chains have been exposed to the sun, and multinational groups have suddenly changed from a positive image of Wei Guangzheng to a shameful tax evader.

If it weren't for the fact that the government really ran out of money, they would not have offended the rich people in China to track down the tax evasion of multinational groups, and directly exposed those things hidden in the dark.

"That's right, Lee." Jobs suddenly spoke, "I heard you guys are making movies?" How, do you need sponsorship? ”

Sponsor?

Li Lin was puzzled for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

Apple is going to sponsor his films.

Why is Apple called the most high-tech computer? Is it really Apple High-Tech? Of course not, why is that? Careful people will find that in modern movies or science fiction movies, both the protagonists and supporting roles are apples.

Like a certain movie, it's about World War II, and the computers used by the people in it are actually Apple's.

It can be seen that Apple's sponsorship of movies has reached a pathological level.

And this has also made a big advertisement for Apple, plus Apple is the mainstream sponsor of science fiction movies, so Apple has long had a high-tech impression in the hearts of users.

Whether it is the current Apple computer or the future Apple mobile phone and Apple tablet, it is the resident technology in the movie, and it is claimed that no matter how vicissitudes of life, Apple will never change.

"Absolutely." (To be continued......)
