Chapter 363: Wall Street Under Shadow

Since 9/11, commercial establishments, municipalities and banking insurance companies have chosen to move out of the 500-metre building surrounding Wall Street.

23 Wall Street, formerly * * * * Building, 37 Wall Street, formerly United States Trust, 45, formerly Bank of Toronto Ming Road, 63, formerly Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Building, etc., and a number of other buildings have changed their functions and become residential apartment buildings for rent.

Now Wall Street, while some of the biggest financial institutions and banks are still standing here, doesn't look like the shadow of 9/11 has been covering this 500-meter street.

Andy stood in front of the office's floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the shady sky, knowing that a storm sweeping the globe had begun to build up here, and when it erupted, the world would be overshadowed by the shadows of fear.

And he, in this storm, will complete the biggest capital accumulation since his passage, without any emotional fluctuations, a cold expression on his face, his hands in his trousers pockets, looking down at the river on the street, tiny, rushing to the action board.

“Boss, Bank of America people are here...” Tory Blake was wearing a large white lapel shirt with an open collar that could see the purple hollow lace BRA and the squeezed trench inside, and it seemed that sometimes because of her upcoming guests, she had been able to converge, her collar had been closed, and she was wearing a small black suit with a tight waist, just a short skirt wrapped around her hips and black camisoles with black sling buckles and lace sides, which was still hard to imagine.

Andy frowned, well, although he was happy with the little assistant's outfit, it inevitably left a bad impression on the others.

“Go change your skirt and don't dress like CHUN all day long.” Andy taught a serious opening lesson.

“Oh...” Turning around, Tory whispered a ghost face and couldn't help but throw up, so you weren't very happy in the car this morning! It's hard to dislike me now!

In the conference room, after a few words of courtesy with the Bank of America, the subject came to the fore, and all the procedures for the loan had been completed, with only Andy's signature missing.

Brush...

After signing his name on three documents, Andy took a check for $600 million from Lewis, the representative of the Bank of America, and handed it to Alvitelli, who held Lewis' hand and said, "Thank you, it was a pleasure working with you. ”

“Enjoy your cooperation!” Lewis was in a good mood, although the loan did not take up much of the cheap price, but the profit was still guaranteed, and the board was satisfied that a number of subordinated loans from their bank's credit department had shown up in recent times, and they were the favorite for loans from wealthy people like Andy, with quality assets as collateral, drought and flood protection, and the risk was minimal.

“Mr. Smith, although your personal credit loan ceiling cannot be raised for the time being, we can simplify the process and lend you the money you need at the fastest possible speed, if you need it.” Lewis thinks of the message coming out of the board that he's likely to get promoted again, and he's still going to have to maintain it for a big, high-quality client like Andy.

“Thank you, Lewis. Aren't we friends? Call me Andy. This loan I said at the beginning of the negotiations was just the beginning. There was a big plan. It wasn't a joke. I thought you'd be proud of your decision to squeeze out your other opponents!” Andy looked deeply at each other and looked very seriously at his face.

Lewis saw Andy's serious expression, knew he was not joking, and said with the same seriousness: “I'll see! Anytime for you! ”

Sending away a bank in the United States, the treasurer quickly entered the amount of the check into the account of Free City Investment Corporation. In order to buy the CDS bank to exchange this credit derivative for default, the buyer must be qualified, not everyone can buy it. The threshold is high. Although Gaia is also an investment trust company, it is not eligible to buy it.

Soon, Budstone, CEO of Free City Investment Company downstairs, arrived in the conference room with long-established CDS team members.

“Boss, the money has arrived, this is the latest CDS quote and price change, some of the institutions that originally purchased the CDS, because the real estate market, although on a downward trend, is not big enough, worried about rebound warehouses, they choose to look for new institutions to take over, if we buy at a low price, the basket CDS will be priced again, so that all participants, both opponents and banks, will be priced again, and we can buy these bloody positions in large quantities. ”

Andy looked at the information Badderstone had given himself and listened to his murderous analysis, his eyes flickering and his eyes glaring at Alvitre.

“Al, what do you think? ”

“We take over these positions, although we also have to face the risk of price changes again, but I think the price is almost there, now the players who stay will not be able to move again easily. After all, CDS wants to make a profit, only real estate disks can be broken, not collapsed or scrap paper, can only wait, and those who persist to this day are definitely not people who have a firm belief, these positions can be taken down completely, although CDS in the basket has to be re-priced, some people will explode, but this is irrelevant to us, offenders and interests maximized, I believe the boss will choose profit maximization! ”

“That's it, get into the market now, pay the security deposit, sweep the goods, take all the positions on the market for a low price transfer!” Andy stood up, his hands on the conference table, his mouth curled, his mouth open with a mouthful of white teeth, and his tone made a firm final decision.

“Got it, boss!” By taking over the authorization from Andy to sign, Baddess left the conference room with the finance of the panellists and think tanks, and the legal staff quickly and coldly.

“How's Apple stock these days?” Andy stood in front of the landing window, pressing down a few blinds with no purpose to look across the skyscraper.

“It's going up slightly, but then it's going to be possible to sort out the shock. After all, Crazy Cell phones are set to go on the market in July, and the shark gangs will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make money.” Al sat on the chair and turned to explain to Andy.

“Let's not wait, let's start selling, go back to the cage funds to prepare for the CDS market, that's the top priority, Apple stock will not change, but until the second half of '08, let's not touch it again!” Andy turned around and looked at Al, smiling softly.

“Okay, boss, I'll set it up in a minute! By the way boss, cds number one advocate Jared West, would you be interested to meet, I think he has a lot of CDS insurance without bond, he won't care about the profit or loss of the parent company for commission.” Al stood up, sorted out his suit, and before turning around, he remembered what he was reporting to Andy.

“Yes, you can arrange for CDS teams and think tanks to be present, and we'll see what Jared has to offer. Oh, I'd really like to see how Deutsche Bank will treat this employee, who is now regarded by them as a talented person, when the dust settles... ”

Andy laughed, and there was no appreciation or disgust for anyone who wanted Jared to chase money by whatever means he wanted, or even ignore him, because the whole of Wall Street was this virtue, including himself now.

Sitting in the office boss's chair with a small sip of caramelized Macchiato coffee, tasting the bitterness, Andy doesn't care about the consequences and effects of a real estate crash, even if tens of thousands of people will be displaced, triggering a global economic crisis, massive unemployment, government bankruptcy, bank failure...

Instead of paying attention, the second immediate accumulation of funds in this foreseeable catastrophe is needed to reach a worry-free level in this world.

This is Wall Street, private, a commonly accepted synonym that values its own interests. Andy doesn't like it here because of the cold blood, the greed, the numbness, the rigid... Wait for a lot of negative thoughts, but he can't leave here because this is heaven for him, and he's the angel who stands in heaven and sees the future!
