Paul Henry O'Neill, the Treasury Secretary who has been in the field for less than a year.

If he had wanted to gather so many American financial giants at once ten days ago.

To be able to come to one-tenth, that is already Paul Henry O'Neill himself is very attractive.

But now, after that big event.

The Americans have coalesced like never before.

The white house, inhabited by shrubs, has also gained far more influence than previous commanders.

Under what came to be known as the "Super American National Cohesion".

Little Laura's great uncle has gained power far beyond his abilities.

Throughout the last hundred years.

Fossloh is the only one who has such power.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that many conspiracy theorists in later generations say that he is the master.

Because from the perspective of vested interests, it is true that he has received the most benefits in the whole United States.

From a transitional commander who may be like his father, he suddenly has a lot of power, and you say nothing for a while.

More power than previous ones.

From this point of view, it seems normal to be suspicious of him.

Not long after the incident took place, his power has not yet been fully condensed.

But a huge part has been mastered.

At this time, who received a big invitation from Paul Henry O'Neill, who represented the little bush.

Whoever doesn't come, in a sense, can be regarded as a XX thief.

In the current special atmosphere and situation.

No one wants to be a XX thief.

That's why so many people are here today.

But when they come back, it is impossible to ask these people to come out with money to save the market.

Even if you beat them into XX thieves, it is impossible.

How much more give Paul Henry O'Neill a hundred dares, and fifty dares to the little bushes in the white house.

I don't dare to call so many financial giants XX thieves.

At best, it's just putting some pressure on them.

Whether it's Paul Henry O'Neill, or the little bush in the White House.

In the case of these people's disobedience, in fact, there is no very good way.

Bringing these people together, the White House doesn't really expect them to be able to save the market.

This is just a warning to them.

Let these people even if they don't save the market, but don't think about making trouble.

The Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P have fallen so much.

If anyone dares to stand up and go short, then something will really happen.

In parallel time and space, there were indeed many people who were held accountable later.

Many people have been fined and some have even been jailed for it.

Strictly speaking, at least a third of those present would have been arrested.

Because one-third of them have shorted after the market opened.

But the white house didn't dare to catch so many at once.

In the end, such a party was made, so that Paul Henry O'Neill, the treasurer, would implicitly warn these giant crocodiles.

The reason why Paul Henry O'Neill is so many people will specifically single out Abel.

First, Abel is the youngest, no matter where he is, his young age will always make people look down on him.

The second is that this guy really has a deep contradiction with the little bush.

In Paul Henry O'Neill's autobiography of himself in the White House published after 2004, Paul denigrated and slandered George in various ways.

Paul Henry O'Neill, who hated black and black and didn't like shrubs.

I would have some opinions about Abel, so I named Abel.

His Excellency did not expect Abel to answer like this.

The point is that after he answers like this.

Berkshire Hathaway, which has a lot of cash.

and PNC Financial Services, which has a huge influence on the East Coast.

Both giants stepped forward and spoke out with Abel.

In this case, Paul Henry O'Neill could not say anything more.

"Gold is precious, but patriotism is even more valuable—the words of Abraham the Great."

Paul Henry O'Neill looked at Abel and Buffett, and the Treasury Secretary had to squeeze out a smile:

"Very good. Very good. The United States is proud of you! Thank you all for your decision! ”

Paul Henry O'Neill said something dry.

Able smiled at him, then smiled the same at the other crocodiles present.

Then Abel sat down. The other two giant crocodiles who were advancing and retreating with him did not hesitate, and both sat down with him.

At this time, Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, suddenly shouted: "Applause for the patriots!" ”

Paulson led the way and applauded.

Richard Foord, David Comansky and Philip Purcell, these people who knew Abel well.

Slowly he also applauded, and even Paul Henry O'Neill began to applaud later.

Gradually, hundreds of financial magnates from all over the United States began to applaud in the entire conference hall.

The applause rang out for more than a minute.

After the beginning of Abel.

It doesn't matter if it's sincere, or if you say one thing and do another.

One after another, some people came forward and said that they would carry out a certain degree of support. It means that the U.S. stock market will never sink to the clouds.

But in fact, most of them are not nutritious.

The meeting was also short-lived.

From the entrance to the end, it was less than an hour or so.

The meeting ended quickly.

Abel and Buffett and others quickly evacuated, not giving others a chance to come into contact.

The trio quickly returned to the convoy.

They were only in an elongated Lincoln, when there were only three people left on the scene.

Abel spoke:

"My goal is GM GE. This time it fell the hardest, and I wanted NBCUniversal. ”

As a leader in the U.S. stock market, GE once exceeded $600 billion at the peak of its stock price last year.

It's a pity that he only stayed for less than two days, and then fell back.

By the end of last year, it had just over $400 billion left in its market capitalization.

As a leading stock, it is almost a symbol of technology and industry in the United States.

In this stock market crash, General Electric was the hardest hit.

At its lowest, the market capitalization even fell to $330 billion.

Although it is still the first, it is more than $20 billion away from the second place Wal-Mart.

Berkshire Hathaway will also make a move. But we only choose stocks that have investment value. Warren Buffett whispered.

Sullivenston hesitated, but this time the CEO of PNC Financial Services Group was purely following suit.

Not long after this big event happened.

The U.S. stock market is set to continue to fall.

At this time, it is not a good time to enter.

But both Abel and Buffett insisted on entering at this time.

PNC Financial Services Group, a solid ally of the two, is also hesitant to try to enter the market.

Sullivenston gritted his teeth and said simply:

"PNC will follow Smith Capital and make some investments, but not more than half of Smith Capital's share."

It won't be more than half, that's just going to be lower.

Maybe not even a tenth.

It's like everyone here can say loudly, "I don't earn 100 million a year!" ”

Buffett ignores Sullivenston because he thinks this guy has too bad vision.

The old man stared at Abel: "Are you really going to convert all your 600 billion Norwegian kroner into dollars?" ”

"Of course." Abel smiled: "More than 72 billion, it has become more than 86 billion." I netted $16 billion. ”

"Shouldn't it be 14 billion?" Sullivenston was curious.

Abel explained: "The previous futures contract was closed, deducting the cost of capital, and there was almost a profit of about two billion US dollars. That adds up to about $16 billion. ”

Sullivenston said with a sigh: "That's two months, and the total profit is about $16 billion?" ”

"Not bad." Abel smiled, "However, this part of the funds, the company's own funds are only a quarter, and the rest has to be deducted from the commission and returned to the investors." ”

Speaking of this, Abel paused, and he looked at the two financial giants:

"This year, though, is three months away from the end. But I have good news for two shareholders, and that is."

"This year, Smith Capital's net profit has exceeded $20 billion. In other words, I've already finished our first year's bet. ”

Sullivenston smiled, "I knew it wouldn't be too hard for you." ”

Even Warren Buffett had a smile on his face.

But that's not the point, and the three of them continue to discuss the next "bailout" operation.

In the end, it didn't come out with a discussion.

Mainly in this regard, Buffett's investment philosophy is different from Abel's.

Warren Buffett likes to focus on value investing, picking only a few that he thinks have investment value, and then directly repositioning.

Abel wanted to diversify his holdings and buy hundreds of shares of companies at a time.

Warren Buffett felt a little unreliable when he heard it.

Sullivenston decided to go with Abel, but not at the expense.

In the end, Abel and Buffett decided to act separately and stared at themselves to buy the company.

That same evening.

Smith Capital, Berkshire Hathaway, PNC Financial Services Group.

The three companies jointly announced that they would invest a total of $130 billion in the U.S. stock market.

Warren Buffett and Sullivenston were also interviewed by the Washington Post and the American Sun, respectively.

The specifics of the interviews between the two men vary.

But there is one thing in common, and that is that both giants have said they are bullish on the US stock market.

And to put it bluntly, this is also Abel Smith's insistence.

It was also said that in the $130 billion bailout fund.

Abel and Smith Capital alone came up with $90 billion.

The next day, before the stock market opened, the two newspapers were sold out in many places, and sales skyrocketed.

After half past nine, the New York stock market opened.

The situation that had occurred in the past few days and fell sharply at the beginning of the market finally did not appear today.

The market was in a sideways state all morning, and the stock market problems that have plagued the white house for several days look like they are about to pick up.

Then over the next few days, Americans saw Abel Smith say and do.

On September 22, Smith Capital raised its position on Microsoft Corporation, holding 6.6% of the shares, or 491 million shares.

This made Microsoft, which had its highest stock price drop from $4.05 a share to $0.92 a share in a few days after the event, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stock price began to stabilize and increase.

On the same day on September 22, Smith Capital also raised the name of Apple Inc., holding a 15.9% stake. Because about 10% of the shares were acquired in the primary market, 5.9% of the shares were bought in the secondary market before the official listing was raised.

This is because according to the U.S. stock regulations, if you buy more than 5% of the shares of a single stock in the secondary market, you must raise a board to make an announcement, and you must issue a corresponding announcement in each subsequent increase or decrease until it is below 5%.

On the same day, Smith Capital also listed more than 20 technology, IT, and Internet companies such as Cisco, Qualcomm, and Motorola, with shares ranging from 5% to 12%.

It was announced that the total cost was about $9 billion, and 90% of the bailout funds remained.

This has made many American leeks very dissatisfied.

The reason is that they feel that Abel Smith's behavior of only investing in the stocks of one type of company is not a bailout at all, but a bottom-buying!

But for these companies, it's saving their market value.

At least after Abel's investment, their plummeting market value was finally preserved.

September 23rd.

Smith Capital once again raised its cards frequently.

This time it's a different field.

In the five hours of the day, Smith Capital held up companies such as General Electric, Ford Motor, General Motors, Deere Shares, Cummins, Caterpillar and other companies, each of which was about 5%.

And announced that it would cost $43.5 billion, of which $17.2 billion was spent on 5% of General Electric's shares, and only 41.7% of the bailout funds remained.

Another thing these companies have in common is that they are manufacturing companies that produce machinery, automobiles, and their accessories.

The entry of Smith Capital greatly boosted the stocks in the corresponding sectors, and the stock price was held.

September 24th.

Smith Capital once again raised a number of companies, namely Halliburton, Tidewater, Schlumberger, Djup, ACDC and other oil and gas equipment/service companies, all of which are also 5%, costing about $8 billion.

The remaining 32.8% of the bailout funds were raised.

September 24th.

September 25th.

On September 26, Smith Capital raised a 5% stake in General Mills.

It was announced that the $90 billion bailout fund was exhausted, and at this time, the company held more than 5% of more than 236 companies.

And this week, under the supervision of the White House.

Led by Smith Capital, Berkshire Hathaway, PNC Financial Services Group, and other giants.

There is also the reason for George Bush's tough attitude of tooth for tooth and blood for blood that he has repeatedly shown in his TV speeches.

There is also a rare unity between the two parties, which makes everyone realize that the United States is really coming this time.

The trend of selling leeks in the United States has finally been suppressed.

U.S. stocks fell for a week and finally began to recover in earnest.

By the end of September, the U.S. stock market was slowly recovering.

The white house naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was decided on the first day of October.

In the white house, the financial giants who contributed to the banquet this time were invited.

As a daily charge, for several days, Abel Smith was on the front lines of various newspapers and magazines in the United States.

Naturally, I was invited.

Year 2001.

October 1.

Around noon.

Abel's Boeing 747 landed and docked slowly at Washington National Airport.

When Abel appeared at the plane door, he saw a line of people greeting him under the boarding stairs.

This is directly inside the airport, in the runway to meet him.

His excellent eyesight led him to spot Neil Bush in the crowd and his beautiful and lovely daughter, Laura Bush.

Abel was also behind the father and daughter when he saw a brand-new Cadillac with the Star-Spangled Banner on it.

Stars and Stripes + Cadillac + US Secret Service.

This treatment is only available to one person in the United States.

Abel took a deep breath, he smiled and walked down the plane ladder, and after stepping on the land, he smiled and opened his arms to his father-in-law.

Neil smiled and opened his hands, and the two embraced.

Neil Bush whispered in his ear, "Well done. George has been talking to you all day about you, saying that you have done him a great favor this time. ”

"I'm just investing. Just invest. Able responded with a smile.

"Hahaha~ You're right." Neil let go of him with a smile.

Abel skipped his future father-in-law and looked at little Laura, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month.

The girl is still a month away, and she will only turn seventeen.

Sixteen-year-old little Laura has already bloomed her grace to Abel.

He gently hugged her and took the initiative to kiss her.

Little Laura was stunned, after all, there were many people around, even her father.

The lovely people are already like this, and she has to blush, smile and give a fragrant kiss.

After the kiss, get in the car.

The driver was Marcus, an old acquaintance of Abel, and Neil sat in the passenger seat.

There were only two seats in the back, one for Abel and one for little Laura.

The younger brother of the owner of the white house, through the rearview mirror, saw Abel curiously looking inside the car.

Neil Bush smiled and whispered, "The latest Army One." The prototype changed from Cadillac Fleetwood, to Cadillac DeVille. ”

"I also have a modified DeVille." Abel asked, "Looks like it's longer?" ”

Neil shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "I don't understand the specific data. If you're curious, well, there's a professional here. Marcus, tell Mr. Smith how good this car you drive. ”

Marcus laughed and said, "I'd love to." ”

Abel thought that the road from here to the white house would take a little more than half an hour.

Although there is a beauty in her arms, her father is also there.

And I don't know about this land. Army No. 1, can you raise the partition?

Well, Neil is here.

Even if the partition can be raised, it is not easy to do so in the presence of the father.

Since you can't grind with beautiful people's ears and temples, let's just talk about the topics that men like better.

Chat about cars.

It was mainly Marcus, the team leader of the Secret Service, who introduced it, and Abel and Neil were in charge of listening and questioning.

"Gentlemen. This is no ordinary Cadillac DeVille. This is an elongated model produced by GM especially for the general generation, which is 73 centimeters longer than the regular version, and the roof is also 7.6 centimeters larger. ”

"The whole car is equipped with special bulletproof glass with a thickness of 12 cm. In terms of power, the car is equipped with an 8.0LV12 engine with a top speed of 180Km/h, which has greatly improved safety and comfort. ”

The 8-liter engine with a displacement of 12 cylinders turned out to be only 180 for a top speed

Abel estimates that this car weighs at least a dozen tons or twenty tons!

"As a custom car, it naturally uses a lot of technology. For example, the interior space of the confined vehicle has a chemical protection function, and it has its own independent air circulation system, which can prevent biological and chemical weapons attacks"

Marcus introduced the two of them as he drove.

The two occasionally asked.

Little Laura was next to her, although she felt a little bored when she heard it, but she also smiled and didn't bother.

Just like that, there is an escort of the work vehicles of the Secret Service.

The vehicle soon arrived at the heart of Washington D.C., a white house that had been burned black and dyed white in the back.

"Here we are." Neil Bush laughed and said, "How does it feel to be on Army One?" ”

"Seems to be very good." Abel smiled and said, "And I think it would be too wasteful for Marcus not to be a car salesman." He said I want to buy one! ”

Marcus, who had parked his car, scratched his head, he didn't want to be a car salesman.

He also wanted to retire from the Secret Service and work as a rock security officer.

The treatment and salary, Marcus is very greedy.

Neil looked at Abel smiling like that, and his own daughter next to him was engrossed in Abel's expression.

Neil Bush sighed inwardly, and then whispered:

"Maybe I can help you ask. Of course, it's absolutely impossible to hang the Stars and Stripes on you. Today, this kind of treatment is only this time. ”

Abel's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Of course. Thank you, Neil. ”

Neil Bush whispered angrily, "If only you could buy it." I need your promise that no one else will be allowed to sit in this car except you and Laura. ”

"Amount"

Abel looked at his girlfriend, who smiled sweetly at her.

"Okay."

Abel said with a shrug.
