American Fortune Life

To be honest, the $100 million year-end dividend bonus seems a little sour...

Cold acid?

Indeed, the subprime mortgage crisis led to a loss of $9.4 billion in Morgan Stanley in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, and the total bonuses paid to employees this year increased by 18 per cent over last year to $16.6 billion.

Lehman Corporation, which has just announced revenue of $870 million in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, has awarded $9.5 billion. Of this amount, $5.7 billion represents dividends. The total bonuses distributed by Goldman Sachs increased by 20 per cent to $201 billion, which means that its bonuses, in addition to dividends, amounted to $12 billion.

Of course, there is also a problem with the size of the company, the difference in the number of employees. Andy's Free City Investment Company will exceed the Wall Street average and receive millions of year-end bonuses per person if the average value of end-of-year bonuses that ordinary employees can earn is monographed.

Cheers, excitement, are inevitable. After all, this group of young Wall Street NENs has grown through a single deal since this year, and everyone has entered the ranks of millionaires, which has to be said to be one of the most remarkable landscapes in Wall Street.

“Boom! Boom! Bang!”

Three consecutive bottles of champagne restored the celebratory cheer in the office hall, watching the gold bottle of Spades A being poured into a tall cup, Andy couldn't help but smile.

“Boss, these little guys are gonna start messing around. Let's go upstairs.” There's a little black line on Budstone's forehead, and he sees that some assholes have started calling women, and there may be things that shouldn't have happened, and while he's a little bit of an exclusion, it's not a contraband on Wall Street, like a cigarette, after all, they're not under the same pressure as the average person.

Andy smiled on his face, looked up and drank all the champagne in the glass, put the glass down and said to Budderstone, "Come on, it's your turn! ”

Budstone was also a little excited, and the smile on his face became brighter. No one would not expect the year-end award, which is a compliment to the hard work of the year and a reflection of his own value.

In Gaia Information Investment's bright, modern Andy's office, Tory Blake, the assistant who had already rushed in, delivered two cups of coffee, looking back at Andy with a grudge in his eyes, but still very knowledgeable twisting his slim waist wrapped in an OL skirt and pigu left the office.

Andy picked up the coffee, took a sip, nodded satisfactorily, still the coffee mix made by the assistant, put the cup down, smiled and looked a little anticipating, smiling, “Bud, remember the first time we met? ”

“Well, like yesterday, thanks to the boss for his trust and support!” Badstone first stagnated slightly, then seemed to recall slightly squinting his eyes and eventually showing gratitude on his face.

“Look, what I said, you won't regret your decision, and I won't regret choosing you!” Andy laughed and took the checkbook out of his suit pocket, a pen out of the pen holder on the table, and brushed it down quickly.

“Spike...”

“See if you're satisfied.” Andy had a smile on his face, two fingers clamped and a ripped check handed to Budstone.

Budstone hastily put down the coffee cup, took the check with both hands, some looked forward to the number on the check, the number at the top was 3, followed by a long string of 0, his heart beating a little uncontroversial acceleration, 30 million dollars!

Far exceeding his base annual salary of $1 million, this figure not only demonstrates his ability to lead the Free City company on Wall Street, but also rewards him for capturing opportunities in this subprime loan crisis.

“Huh ~ Thank you, boss!” Budderstone's face turned red, pressed down on his inner excitement, and took a deep breath, thanking Andy.

“You deserve it, and I look forward to more proud profits from Free City Investment, led by you, and I said I was never a stingy person. ”

Andy smiled and nodded at Budstone, pushing his hand down the answering machine on the desk and saying to the speaker: "Let John in. ”

Under Budstone's watchful eye, Andy began distributing $5 million each in cash cheques to several executives.

By the time the distribution was complete, Andy had cut off 160 million in profits from the books, and the rest could not be cut anymore, eventually paying part of the tax. He didn't want to leave a stain on the issue. You know, in the United States, killers might be able to escape the law, but once the tax went wrong, it was harder to get out of trouble than killing people.

The tremendous joy of the year-end bonus was temporarily suppressed by Badstone. He had just thought about it. He wanted to go home and celebrate with his wife. To be honest, Badstone's former character was discreet and conservative, even if talented, and because of conservative investment philosophy, he was disappointed by ordinary investors, and his earnings dividend was lost.

Though also a wealthy class, it's far worse than those who lived in super mansions at the same time and drove overrun. Finally, 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi, they're finally going to let their families live tens of millionaires.

“ The price of gold futures delivered next February has been kept under $820 per ounce, which has become a pressure point and has been shaking around the $815 per ounce price, and according to our observation there is funding to do the shaking. ”

When Budstone and Andy were the only ones left in the office, Budstone told a story he had recently analyzed.

“What are my gold profits now?” Andy's left hand touched his chin and a pen swirled quickly between his right fingers.

“One hundred and twenty million, and hundreds of thousands of pieces, that is, my 172 tons of gold is now worth five billion dollars, but... You wait." Andy dropped his leg on the desk, reached down and pressed the transponder.

“Tory, get Alvitra over here. ”

To be honest, while Andy now holds $12 billion in speedily settleable cash, he also owes the bank $6 billion in loans, although most of the loans were passed on to Marvel, which he acquired, AMC Cable TV, which operates with all kinds of capital, lending his own personal money to various teams, even the Rocket Squad now owes him $200 million.

His means of transferring his own liabilities to the company were also used to justify tax avoidance, to keep the books of the companies at a loss and then to repay his bank loans using the profits of the company.

As a result, Andy got rid of his personal liabilities and his personal finances turned out to be superior, with the exception of a few soon-to-be-established IT and Mockingjay games companies and copyright companies, which were all at a loss, of course, just on the books.

And by the way, there's the British Hot Spurs Club, which is also non-indebted and profitable, and that's the chip that Andy's going to use to implement the UK plan.

“Psst. ”

“Come in. Al, just wait for you. Sit down, Tory, make Al a cup of coffee. ”

Alvitelli and Budstone smiled and nodded, and sat across from Andy with Bud, "Boss, I just got a message, don't know if you're interested? ”
