American Fortune Life

It was desperate that, towards the end of the day, neither Bank of America nor Barclays had shown any further interest in the transaction and that the Government had no power to inject funds. Lehman only has the last $2 billion in cash left, and if no response is found this weekend, the rest will be a corpse next Monday.

And all the bosses in the Fed building knew that Bank of America, the chosen acquirer, had never been interested in Lehman, and they were eyebrowing Merrill Forest Securities.

However, everyone found it funny that Merrill Forest, while trying to spark the interest of the Bank of America in mergers and acquisitions, covered up the cover, seemed to really stay in the palace like never before, and all knew that Merrill Forest was essentially a DANG woman. At the bottom, KU didn't know how many he had lost, and he pretended to be pure.

Paulson and Gaithner understood that the only people interested in acquiring Lehman were the British, and for the sake of safety, when Andy, with his lazy belt stretched out in front of the elevator and ready to leave, was stopped by Paulson's chief of staff, Andy looked at the time and frowned and said: “It's 10: 30, I'm not going to sleep, let's talk about something tomorrow. ”

Hamilton grinned, mumbling in Andy's ear, and then Andy turned his white eyes and said to Al around him, "Come on, go check it out. Let's all go back and rest... ”

Andy and Al walked into the conference room, led by Hamilton, and saw the four of you, Paulson, Gaitner, Lehman CEO Fold and Warren Buffett, sitting down after a calm greeting with the four of them.

Listening to Paulson and Gaithner's sincere words, hoping that they could invest in Lehman, the arrogant face of Fold also looked sad, the words touching the heart of his heart, the words urging the plea of NIAO, Buffett and Andy looked at each other with the same glance, all seeing the meaning of JIAN fraud and prevention in each other's eyes.

Both were very obsessed with some of Lehman's business and assets, but nobody wanted to talk first, and for a while, the conference room was quiet.

The first to break the silence was already anxious Ford, but the price he offered made Andy and Buffet lose interest in continuing the conversation.

$42 billion!

Andy wanted to laugh and ridicule him, but now was not the time to be happy, and he needed to open the door to the three people in front of him if he wanted to reap the benefits.

“Twenty-one billion, if you agree, I'll invest, but some of my assets and business will be needed as collateral... ”

Buffett the Stinky Face starts to fall apart. Talking about it, the lions are bragging about him, Nima, what preferred shares, the demands are so harsh, you can see how harsh Buffett the old hooligan is by looking at Fold's blackened face.

Andy had always looked at the old hooligan slaughtering Lehman with a knife, and he hadn't annexed the whole Lehman idea, and naturally wouldn't go out on any harsh terms to annoy him.

“Mr. Smith, what about you?” Gaithner saw that Fold and Buffett were about to break down and asked, reluctantly, in the hope of easing the tension.

Andy shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless expression, "I can't eat, I can't even afford that much money... ”

“We, the Fed, are willing to vouch for you... ”

Andy rolled a white eye and glanced at Gaetner faintly and said: "I'm too indebted to sleep! ”

“Cough... ”

Several people in the conference room were slightly coughed up by Andy's words, then Andy looked like he had nothing to do with hanging tall, stopped talking, and didn't let him wait long, 10 minutes later, he talked completely, Andy shrugged and greeted him, stood up and patted Pigu and took the lead out of the conference room.

And when he took Al downstairs, Andy said to Al, "Get in my car and get out of here in no hurry... ”

Al glanced slightly and nodded, sitting with Andy in a spacious SUV, before waiting long, he saw a tall figure, but seemingly tired Fold showed up at the door of the building.

“Kenny, go get Mr. Fold. Tell him I want to talk to him. ”

When Kenny nodded, he opened the door and walked up, through the window, Andy saw Fold's gaze throw in, lowered the window, Andy smiled and waved, and then Fold walked over and got in.

“Andy, what do you want, just say it! ”

Andy wasn't upset by Fold's direct and hard words, but smiled and said, "I hear you only have $2 billion in cash on your account? I don't know if you guys have any real estate to sell to make things easier for now? ”

Fold laughed at himself and frowned, "Please continue. ”

“Oh, a billion in cash at a time, I bought those 13 buildings in your hands! ”

Ford looked at Andy with an icy smile, almost biting his teeth and saying, "They're worth 4.2 billion! ”

“That was 2006, and now it's '08, Fold, and at this point in time, with this billion dollars, maybe you can stick around for a little while, and maybe it's really going to spin around, and what Lehman needs most now is perseverance, don't you think? ”

“Impossible! You're blackmailing, and even if we mortgage a bank loan, it's more than that... ”

“Oh, yeah? And will the bank loan you, Lehman?” Andy leaned back in the car seat with a slightly curly mouth and grinned, with sharp eyes.

“Ford, don't fool yourself, the whole world is waiting for you to fall, and once Lehman's company is declared bankrupt, Wall Street, Europeans, pedestrian financial companies will be swarming up like vultures to see falling corpses, robbing Lehman's corpse of all the useful" parts and organs "assets at much lower prices than the original bid.

You expect Paulson and the Fed to save you, huh, you think you're Goldman Sachs or MG Stanley? You Lehman, a grassroots family, want to be treated like nobles and descendants, you think too much! ”

Ford's eyes were wide open, his anger made him blush, his fists clenched, his lips slightly trembled, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, but at this moment he appeared vicious and cruel, and he wanted to pounce on him twice.

“Hoo--”

Ford was like a skin ball that had been exasperated, and the god of refinement seemed to have been suddenly pulled away, laughing and saying to himself: “Though cruel, you are the only one who has spoken the truth, and they can't wait for Lehman to go bankrupt. Ridiculously, the board is still trying to save the opponents who wanted to die... ”

Saying, Fold opened the door and walked out of the car in a rickety shape. Andy just had his eyes squint and didn't say again to hold each other, waiting silently.

After taking a step forward, Folder, who lost his soul, showed a complex and elusive look on his unusually pale face under the street lamp, looked back at Andy with a silent look down the car window, and shook: “Tomorrow morning at 8: 30, it's not due... ”

“Drive! ”

Andy's mouth curled, the windows rose, and the smile on his face grew brighter, while Al beside him just took off his glasses and slowly wiped them with his handkerchief, saying faintly: "Boss, isn't it a little too early for us to do this now, maybe it'll be cheaper when they're bankrupt and liquidated? ”

“Forty billion dollars worth of real estate, and I only see these 13 commercial buildings, and the other thing I don't want, the key is that these 13 are centrally located in four cities in London, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, huh, and when the bankruptcy liquidates, do you think the bankruptcy consulting firm will split them up and sell them to me?

Those vultures won't give up the opportunity to earn high commissions, so it's a rare opportunity to do it yourself tomorrow and buy it in Gaia's name! ”Andy looked at Al and said.
