Chapter 968: You Can't Really Mess With

Who's gonna be the second Belleston?

Stocks of large financial companies, including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Woods, Morgan Stanley and others, have experienced a brutal decline last Friday, despite the devastation they have suffered since this year.

Investors were apparently shocked by the rate at which the situation in Belsden had deteriorated, which had also aggravated their nervousness.

“What? Am I listening right...” Paulson, sitting in the living room of the Presidential Suite, looked incredibly at his subordinates with anger and shock.

“Yes, Minister, you're right, the news has spread that MG Chase is buying Bellstein for $2 per share. ”

“How is that possible? ”

“ ”

“Where did the message come from? Well, you don't have to say it. I can tell by the look on your face. Andy Smith again, right? This bastard, how could he have known so quickly? ”

“He's Bloomberg's second largest shareholder, and one of the things he's done since he took office is to integrate Bloomberg's news group, where financial news from all over the world comes together... ”

“Goddamn it, I'm gonna sue him for manipulating the market, disrupting the economic order, jailing him... ”

His men looked at the growling minister, but when Paulson picked up the phone, his face changed dramatically and he hurried ahead to stop Paulson.

“Minister, all this is speculation, there is no proof that once we tear our faces apart, we will not be able to step down and he will consider us enemies... ”

Paulson frowned and looked at himself, the chief clerk, coldly and said, "Are you afraid? ”

The bureaucrat's expression changed slightly, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: “To be honest, I am a little scared. I have studied Andy Smith, perhaps young. He has never left his way against his enemies, and he is very patient. If he doesn't do it, he will surely leave the other side powerless to fight.

All we said was speculation that his think tank, staffed by a 10-man elite team of lawyers, would never leave him with any clue, while we could prosecute him, get him in trouble and keep him out of trouble for a short time.

It must have turned out to be nothing, but according to his character, all of us would be missed by him, and then he would wait, patiently stare at us, crushing us one by one.

I can't guarantee that I'm a saint, minister, and who can guarantee that I'm flawless, that he's built up, that the vast wealth and media power of scalp numbness, and the deep-rooted Smith family... “

The clerk said that he had let go of his hand, and he had seen Paulson's expression change, knowing that he had persuaded the angry financier.

Honestly, the more he studied Andy Smith, the more he felt it was a BUG, full of pricks, he couldn't do it, he didn't even know what the other side dared to do, and he and his two bodyguards set up Freedom Eagle Security Company, young people who couldn't spare the money of war, couldn't even measure where Andy Smith's bottom line was!

He was just eating, not wanting to be destroyed by humanism, or being disgraced...

Thinking of Piltzer, who had just fallen into notoriety, and Tom, the leader of the former Party of Elephants, two political stars who had been overthrown by him and plunged into a state of annihilation, his lethality was frightening!

Paulson slowly dropped his phone, shook his head cold, and sighed, "Tomorrow's meeting with Fed Chairman Bernanke, it's time to propose tighter regulation of bank capital! ”

Again, the clerks didn't tangle with what had happened before, just as they hadn't talked about Andy Smith before, and skipped the subject, and everyone knew that for an irrelevant bankruptcy company, it was definitely idiotic to offend an unbeatable billionaire.

“Okay. Lehman has called, and they have taken more determined action to stabilize their books, and their cash buffer is twice that of Belsden. Lehman also launched a difficult and planned campaign to rebuild the confidence of shakers. ”

Paulson nodded, his body soaking in the couch, shook his head and laughed bitterly: "Finally, good news. What do you think of Andy Smith's next goal? ”

“ My point is simple, whoever his next goal is, it doesn't matter, he's an American, or the world's youngest billionaire, whose family is deeply rooted, and I don't think he's going to crumble the American economy, and he doesn't have that ability. What we really need to pay attention to is this, Wall Street!

Those who keep yelling about deregulation in their mouths, the government itself is a problem, all the capitalists who are automatically regulated by the market, regardless of what they have said before, I'm afraid they will want to come to you in the future to queue up and ask the government to alleviate their difficulties.

As for Andy Smith, all we have to do is figure out what he wants, and maybe we'll need his help in the future, after all, he's no worse influenced and called than Warren Buffett.

Though the gold futures have risen again, he issued a gold selling warning a short time ago. Many people who believe he is buying gold have made a huge fortune. This time, he warned that a large amount of money would have broken into the precious metals market to avoid the crisis in Belleston. Maybe the price of gold futures will be suppressed! ”

Paulson glanced slightly at the staff, “You mean the gold could really fall? ”

“Greed like Andy Smith, his quest for wealth is even a little paranoid, I don't think he'll joke. After all, he closed all the gold in his hand and started shipping every ounce for $998. The Minister, Alvitelli the Fire God, and his think-tanks are a bunch of real industry-leaders that Andy Smith keeps on high pay! ”

Paulson grinned, “I know that. The two data analysts I'd like to invite are in there, and they can't dig. Andy Smith is so generous... ”

The following day, 16 March, on the weekend.

All major media outlets reported on MG Chase's ultra-low offer to acquire Belsden.

* * * * Low quotes mean that nearly a third of Belleston employees who own company assets will lose billions of dollars together.

Their initial shock had translated into anger and pain, and in despair they hoped that other buyers would show up and offer a better offer.

Knowing that the previous week, Belsden's share price was still as high as $70, which had exceeded $170 in January 2007. As a result, this takeover rumor has been strongly opposed by many major Bellstein shareholders and employees.
