"What do you think of this document?"

After another appointment, Al. Fran finally did not close the door to Zhong Shi and the others again, but welcomed everyone with a smile on his face, and his enthusiastic face made everyone feel flattered, as if it was not the same person who had been cold to them a few days ago.

Now Al. Fran is almost sure of victory, so naturally he will not put on this façade to show everyone's faces.

After a polite greeting, Zhong Shi gently placed a knuckle-thick document on the elder. Fran's in front of him.

Al. Fran didn't open it immediately, but gently rubbed the plastic cover, and only after a while did he ask seemingly casually: "I heard that Mr. Zhong is a world-renowned financier, I don't know what you think about the subprime mortgage crisis?" ”

"What do you think?"

Zhong Shi took out his cigarette case and shook it towards the other party, and after the other party refused, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking a leisurely puff, he said, "They are all liars, a group of people who are too greedy. ”

“……”

To Zhong Shi's answer, Al. Fran looked quite surprised, and opened his mouth wide to say something, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

Originally, he thought that Zhong Shi was a raccoon dog with them, if not a typical Wall Streeter. But Zhong Shi expressed his position so clearly that he was a little overwhelmed.

Not only him, but even Lisa and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Zhong Shi with disbelief on their faces.

But to be able to do the position of Congressman, Al. Fran is no simple character. After a few rounds of cloudy eyeballs, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhong, you didn't say these words to please me and make me happy, did you?" ”

After all that is said. He shook his head, pointed the clockstone with his finger, and said with a smile, "What a surprise." ”

"How dare I lie about the Constitution?"

Zhong Shi immediately sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "In front of a congressman of the United States of America, I don't have any need to lie. ”

Because Congress is the place in the United States that is responsible for making and amending laws. Zhong Shi used the Constitution of the United States to represent the other party here, not only holding each other high, but also expressing his solemn heart.

After all, to anyone present, the U.S. Constitution has an unparalleled sanctity in their minds.

"You say that, it's really puzzling to me!"

Al. The smile on Fran's face immediately retracted, replaced by a solemn look, "Mr. Zhong, can you explain to me why they are liars and greedy guys?" ”

"It's easy!"

Zhongshi shrugged. Spreading his hands, he patiently explained, "In fact, the entire subprime mortgage bond is based on the fact that housing prices in the United States have been rising. But it's clear to everyone that it's impossible for housing prices to keep rising. You know it, I know it, even the people on Wall Street know it themselves. ”

"But knowing that sooner or later it was going to collapse, Wall Street was squeezing into the market one after another. What is not greed? ”

With a mocking smile, Zhong Shi continued. "It's like a Ponzi scheme, and the people involved know very well what is going on, but they don't think they're the last ones to take over, and instead they are agitating others to come in. A person who can do this kind of deception and deception of himself is not a liar? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Al. Fran clapped his palms and laughed, "I really didn't expect that. Those high-ranking figures on Wall Street are so unbearable in the eyes of Mr. Zhong. At the end of the day, they're just a bunch of greedy liars, and it's so funny. ”

"However, what I still want to know is, Mr. Zhong, how do you think you are different from them?"

The next moment. Al. As soon as Fran turned his words, he took aim at Zhong Shi and asked meaningfully, "Or in your heart, do you position yourself as a less greedy liar, or someone who is fundamentally different from them?" ”

At the time when Bell Rock and Wall Street were distancing themselves, Al Brown. Fran's vigilance deepened, after all, if Zhongshi looked down on Wall Street like this, there was absolutely no reason to work for them.

And now Zhong Shi came to the door himself, it must be for Moody's thing. Fran has always been aware of this.

"I am the savior!"

Zhong Shi once again spoke amazingly, directly scorching everyone into the inside, and no one said a word for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the speechless crowd left and right, Zhong Shi smiled slightly, and then explained, "For me, I am the defender of the normal financial order in this world. Belch...... That's how I position myself. Since Wall Street is so insatiable, it is only natural that I will take action to eliminate their insatiable greed. ”

"So, Mr. Chung is going against Wall Street?"

Al. Fran was very keenly aware of the meaning of Zhong Shi's words, and quickly asked, then looked at the staff of Belan consulting beside Zhong Shi, and added meaningfully, "Or, have you ever fought against Wall Street?" ”

"So to speak!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Shi readily admitted, "During the subprime mortgage crisis, I shorted the Thunderman Brothers, Bear Stone, Merrill Lynch, Stanley, and Goodman. Of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, I didn't leave any behind. ”

"What?"

Even though you are a member of Congress, at first hearing the news, Al. Fran gasped. Although he is not a professional, he also knows very well what it means to go short. Seeing Zhong Shi say these things so frankly, he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart.

For the news of Zhongshi's shorting of the five major investment banks, Lisa and others also heard about it for the first time. Fran, like herm, is equally full of confusion and incomprehension. However, due to the occasion and status, they can only bury these doubts deep in their hearts forever.

"It's not so much that I'm against Wall Street, it's that I'm against humanity!"

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Zhong Shi continued, "The Bible says that there are seven deadly sins for man, and greed is one of them, and I am fighting against the greed of the market. Because of this. I'm here to get to where I am today. The Wall Street guys know that too, so instead of hate, we became an alliance of interests. ”

"It's fun!"

After listening to Zhong Shi's explanation, Al . Fran's head slowly lowered, and his gaze fell on the document that Zhongshi had handed him earlier, "You can take advantage of other people's greed. I just don't know if you, Mr. Zhong, can overcome your greed? ”

"About this document?"

Following the other party's gaze, Zhong Shi also looked at this document, and after reading it meaningfully for a long time, he chuckled and said, "Mr. Fran, you might as well read the content of this document first, and then it's not too late to make a judgment!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Al. Fran laughed as well, and glanced back at Zhongshi with the same meaning. Then I opened the folder and began to read the document carefully.

Although these documents are quite thick, in the first few pages there is a general article that gives a general overview of the contents of these documents. When Al. Fran's face turned red as she finished reading it.

"I'm not only good at using greed to make money, but I'm also good at using greed to solve problems."

Bell Stone took his last puff and buried the cigarette butt deep in the ashtray. I twisted it a few times hard, and then said with a smile. "Well, is this plan still going to help Mr. Fran?"

"Humph!"

Al. Fran's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, squinted his eyes and stared at Zhong Shi for a long time, and then said in an unkind tone, "Maybe there is another explanation." i.e. I am your trouble. So you want to solve my problem with this document. Is that so, Mr. Chung? I guess this explanation makes more sense! ”

"Reasonable, very reasonable!"

This time it was Zhong Shi's turn to cheer for the other party, and he clapped his hands and laughed, leaning back and forth with laughter. "I admire your imagination, Mr. Fran, in putting all that we have done into a conspiracy. But you're completely wrong, we're not using you, we're doing it for business and profit. Of course, we agreed that this deal would make more sense if Minnesota could be under your control. ”

"Looks like you know everything!"

Al. Fran glanced at Bell Stone with a complicated expression, and then asked, "But what if Minnesota isn't under my control?" ”

"We didn't think about that possibility!"

Zhong Shi said bluntly, "I think if Mr. Congressman really wants to run, this bill will be of great help to you, after all, it can help Minnesota provide so many jobs, I believe voters will not reject this plan." ”

"Also, don't think we're making a deal with you. As I've already said, this is from a business and interest perspective, and in fact, according to the data that we monitor, there has been a recovery in real estate across the United States, including Minnesota, and after careful consideration, we decided to get involved in the real estate market again, and Minnesota is one of our pilots. ”

"So I can't refuse this document?"

Al. Fran sat down slowly, rubbing his smooth chin, and after a while, he said, "Don't take me for a fool, say, what do you want from us?" ”

When it came to suppressing Wall Street and ascending to the governor's throne, he ultimately chose the latter.

I have to say that this is a wise choice, and smart people will choose this way.

"Let Moody's live!"

The people who consulted Beran immediately looked at each other with a happy face, knowing that the strategy had finally worked. But even in the end, the pace of the conversation was still in Jongshi's control.

"I believe that Mr. Congressman, you are also well aware that according to the standards of the SEC's 'Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization', whether it is Standard & Poor's, Moody's or Fitch, it is not without shaking, and without these three organizations, the cornerstone of the entire rating agency will collapse. In addition, under SEC law, the "Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization" is immune from prosecution for misleading information or deception of investors. Even if institutions like Moody's or Standard & Poor's deliberately deceive investors, they will not be prosecuted. ”

"The most important point is the First Amendment, which states that citizens of the United States of America have the right to free speech. Mr. Fran, you don't think that biting Moody's will challenge the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, do you? ”

Zhong Shi's words directly put Al . The last bit of Fran's illusion shattered.

Challenging the amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is basically a subversion of the U.S. national system, Al. As a member of the Congressional legislature, Fran has the deepest understanding of the sanctity and immovability of the U.S. Constitution and its amendments. He doesn't think he's capable of challenging even a single constitutional amendment.

In fact, Al. Fran is also well aware that even if he can seize Moody's handle and really send them to court, in addition to protracted time, there is also the possibility of losing the lawsuit. Before, he couldn't swallow this breath, but now that the other party not only sent a ladder down the wall, but also added a huge gift, in this case, he couldn't make any other choices.

"It's been a big deal!"

After a long silence, Al. Fran said leisurely, "It is definitely impossible to stop all at once, and it is difficult to explain in all aspects. However, I can guarantee that after communicating with the SEC, I will give them a satisfactory answer. ”

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, Zhong Shi stood up and stretched out his hand to the other party, "Happy cooperation, Mr. Councilor." No, soon it will be Mr. Governor! ”

"Happy working together!"

After staring at Zhong Shi with a complicated expression for a long time, Al. With a wry smile on his face, Fran shook his head and said the same thing to Bell Stone. (To be continued.) )
