Oh, Boris, are you sure you wanna know? You know, you owe me twice... ”

After an overnight battle, in the early morning, Andy was woken up by the telephone, helped the tired and still sleeping Lima to put on a blanket, picked up a nightgown from the floor and put it on, hitting the arrears, and walked along with the telephone to twist the lane.

“Hey, Andy, you know my campaign is at stake, and May is going to reveal the answer, and I'm a must-have for the Mayor of London, and as a good friend of mine, you're going to support me, right? ”

Hearing Big Mouth Boris Johnson's setup approaching, Andy's corner smiled and said, "Of course, man, I certainly support you, but, Boris, this is the third time... ”

“Damn, my dear friend, don't worry, I'll fix the White Deer Alley thing as soon as I take over, for God's sake, you're such an asshole! ”

“Hey, Boris, don't be a loser, okay? How many jobs can a new stadium solve for London? Now there are layoffs all over the world, a lot of people are unemployed, and I'm helping you!” Andy sat on the couch, waving up Erlang's legs, taking over the fresh juice handed over by the maid and laughing as she drank.

“Damn, but what you want is pure land, guaranteed by the City of London, interest-free loans for money to build the stadium, for Christ's sake, you greedy bastard, okay, maybe that's why you rank 20 in Forbes! “

Andy sneered, "Boris, don't forget, Tottenham is one of the lowincome households in London, the highest unemployment rate in London and the poorest part of the country, and if you don't show up, how much time and money will it take for me to buy that land?

Also, the new stadium will bring new economic dynamism and give the poor a lively career choice. Otherwise, hey, young people who do nothing will use riots and violence to get your attention! ”

“Well, all right, man, you're always right, and I also hope that the forgotten area is well, where the Londoners have relatives, and I don't know how, this poison will poison Greater London, and I'll do everything I can to make this happen, which is my promise, and if it doesn't work, I'll agree and help you move the stadium out of Tottenham... Okay, goddamn it. Now can you tell me who it is? ”

“Oh, who else, ranked 46 on the global list of millionaires, the prince's godfather, the richest man in England, the Duke of Westminster Temple...” Andy's a little insidious. Hey, smile.

“Hiss--”

Boris' backstroke of cool air came from the phone, and then he took a deep breath, "Andy, Andy, my dearest friend, please don't expose... Goddamn it, he's gonna make England the laughingstock of the world... ”

Andy hung up after a few words, and he didn't want to hear Boris' chatter, but from Boris, he had learned that the story had left unclean politicians throughout the UK, worried about themselves, having the same bad luck as Spitzer.

“Nimah, the Brits are not smoking. Weren't they the most unmistakable spells of happiness? Now I'm so happy for you! ”

Meanwhile, at 5 a.m. New York time, Paulson, Gaitner, Bernanke, Cox, etc. held a conference call and connected to Jamie Diamond, CEO of MG Chase.

“Belsden's failure will be a market catastrophe, and the key is for Belsden to survive...” Diamond of MG Chase stressed on the phone.

“The problem is that your bid is now unacceptable to the entire Wall Street and the shareholders and employees holding one-third of Belsten's shares, and I hope you will reconsider the acquisition price!” Bernanke glanced at Paulson, the treasurer around him, and said to the phone.

“Well, we need a day to sort out Belleston's books, and we'll quote again before nightfall... ”

“Diamond, I spoke to former Fed President Paul Volcker on the phone earlier, and he also said that the current situation is terrible and likely to get worse. If Belleston falls, it'll get out of control. I want you to think carefully!” Fed Chairman Bernanke said in a heavy tone.

After the conference call, Bernanke looked at Paulson, the finance minister next to him, and said, "What did the president say? ”

“With regard to the rescue of Belsden, the President expressed support for his speech to be delivered at the Competition Club in New York at a later date, and the phrase" who will not be assisted ”had been deleted from the speech.” Paulson nodded slightly.

“I'm afraid MG Chase won't take over from Belleston without the Fed's support... ”

Paulson was slightly stunned and looked at Bernanke, who shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What happened now? ”

“Nearly three quarters of Belsdom's assets are subprime loans, which he would not want regardless of the price... ”

“Shet!” Paulson turned black and shot the table with helplessness and anger in his expression, "you bastards! Once the Fed opens its mouth, the risk will expand again! ”

“I also understand that no one can predict how many financial institutions will need money, nor can anyone predict how much they will borrow. Once the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the Fed's losses will also be severe, eventually to avoid a collapse of the financial system, or to pass the losses on to the Nashui to save Wall Street profits at the expense of the public. In this way, the Fed's own credibility will be greatly diminished.

It's just, is there another way? Wall Street is now like a sieve full of caves, and there's a bunch of greedy sharks out there, waiting for the moment to jump... “

There was silence in the small room and only a few helpless sighs left, which was the door knocked.

“Gerard, have you been up all night?” Paulson saw the chief clerk walking in, and his eyes were full of blood, but he was a little overwhelmed and frowned to ask.

“Minister, I know who Gaia's next target is! ”

Paulson sort of didn't react, but looking at the excitement of the staff, he blinked his eyes, and then he thought about what he was anxiously asking: "Andy Smith? ”

“Yes, their next goal is Merrill Forest Securities, which has suffered losses of up to $15 billion from mortgage investments... ”

Paulson and Bernanke looked at each other with concern, listening to the staff's explanations and presenting various data analysis materials in front of them.

“So, they've almost finished the layout, and I don't know when to start the plan. Based on my assumptions about Andy Smith's personality and his think tank's past cases, they love borrowing market power and are very good at pushing BO, because once the scale is formed, even if it's good news or rescue, they can take advantage of the time lag and get out of here. It took them three months to get the layout done. Perhaps Merrill is worse than Bellstein this time! ”

Paulson and Bernanke changed their faces at the same time, and with this huge amount of cash, Andy Smith ran across the street, they're not just being reckless anymore!
