American Fortune Life

“ Many people's eyes were red, some were more tearful, and no one answered our questions. All they could see was employees walking out of Lehman's company, carrying boxes and luggage, walking down the street looking for a taxi. ”

Fresh and delicious yellow beef was constantly sent into the entrance, Andy dropped the knife and fork and grabbed a sip of fresh orange juice from the side, watching AMC News Channel reporting live across the restaurant.

Looking to the south of the Lehman building, which now belongs to him, a “wall of shame” was erected with photographs of Fuld and Gregory and marked "Dumb and Agua”!

According to their report at the Lehman headquarters building, the employees were not only shocked but also extremely angry when they learned that Lehman's huge trading hall had previously been filled with a terrible emotion! Because too many of their expectations are on company stock prices!

Andy knew this emotion would last a long time!

Of course, all of this is irrelevant to him as a winner.

But for Fold, for the rest of his life, there will be not only heartache, but endless lawsuits, more angry eyes of his former subordinates and the people.

Even a few days after Lehman's bankruptcy, Andy read in the paper that Fold had been beaten to death by protesters while working out at Lehman's stadium.

“I had to approve the deal because it was the only deal that could be made. The Lehman brothers became a victim. In fact, it is the only real sign under the credit market tsunami. This is the most memorable bankruptcy trial I've ever had. This can only be regarded as a sing-out. I can hardly imagine another similar emergency. ”

On television, Manhattan court bankruptcy Judge James Pike's face sank with a heavy expression surrounding his camera and reporter, as he said.

Andy grinned and picked up the white napkin and wiped his mouth, still on the table, picked up the remote, turned off the TV, walked out of the dining room, came to the mirror, tidied up, said to the maid standing behind him: "Don't bother Ivana, let her rest, I won't be back for lunch. ”

“Yes, sir.” The maid responded respectfully.

Andy walked out the door and walked into the elevator with the bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time. When he arrived on the first floor, the elevator door opened for a moment, Andy had to slightly wrinkle his eyebrows in front of the door of the building where the surrounded water was impenetrable.

“Mr. Smith, say something... ”

“Let's make a point... ”

The bodyguards and building guards are pushing hard to stop the crowded reporters, and Andy is just walking to the roadside car with a cold face. Today's reporters aren't asking questions, they're just yelling at him to say something.

When he walked to the car, Andy didn't rush to bend over and sit in the car, but looked back at a pair of desired eyes and sank, saying in a cool tone: "People's impressions of Wall Street have become the past! ”

After that, there were no journalists who were sitting in the car, leaning in the car seat, keeping their eyes closed, and no longer watching teeth and claws outside the window.

His sentence was enough for the media to cover, because each family would have their own interpretation, and as an influential celebrity, there were things that didn't need to be explained, because there would be a lot of media to help interpret, and all he had to do was make the language simple enough to be 13.

Wall Street, in English, means Wall Street. The ringing name is actually just a small street down in Manhattan, New York.

Originally a Dutch colony, the Dutch colonists erected fences to prevent the escape of black slaves. In 1653, the wooden fence was reinforced into a one-metre high wooden wall.

Two years later, Andy walked on this long street again, at a time when his mood and feelings had changed, and two years earlier he was on his own with wandering excitement, that unreal, careful, ambitious and fearful war, and now he wants to come and make Andy laugh.

Not concerned that he appeared around him, curious to follow around, the passers-by with a photograph of his cell phone, Andy slowly walked to the big copper cow in Bowling Green Park, Wall Street, under the protection of a dozen bodyguards around him.

It's a park, but it's a small green space, and the Americans are also hopeful signs of “cattle market” because of the plastic bull.

Andy watched the front of his face lean down, his tail curled up, his horns pointed upwards, and he strove forwards to the left, very vivid and artistically tense copper bull, but it was also a wonderful irony at this moment.

Turning to the next exchange, instead of stopping, continue to walk towards the building where Gaia is located, not far ahead.

Wall Street has been completely submerged by the financial tsunami, and the financial giants, struggling in the exchange next to the copper bull. All traders are frightened, and no one is certain that when another dawn comes, their company will still exist, that they will still have the mood and the opportunity to continue on this famous street, and that they will continue to look at this famous world of bronze bulls with ambition and hope.

When Andy came to the floor where Gaia was located, he saw an incredibly busy scene, almost everyone was running, in the office lobby, even more unusually noisy, and many people were holding the information with their hands, clamping their necks around the microphones and talking out loud, so busy that nobody was paying attention to his big BOSS.

Andy smiled through the busy lobby and handed over two pieces of information to his subordinates. As he pushed away from Al's office, he saw Al with his shirt on his sleeve, his neck twisted and his phone clamped, his hands turned over, and his mouth kept talking.

Al saw Big BOSS come in, didn't get up to greet him, but pointed to the finger seat and continued to talk about the phone, but the phone ended quickly, smiling at Big BOSS sitting across from him: “Boss, we bought those assets smoothly, but the trouble came, and we didn't have enough people. ”

Andy shrugged his shoulders and took over the coffee that Secretary Al had brought in, laughing: "Take your time, don't worry, there are some things we're going to use to kill people, as long as we keep it running. ”

With $1.3 billion to acquire Lehman's headquarters building, US investment banking and capital market operations, up to 9,000 Lehman brothers' employees will be retained.

The $1 billion Lehman Headquarters Building is valued at $800 million.

The $250 million post-divestment Lehman Brothers North America business, which includes personnel, products, brand names, technology and customers from both data centers, does not include risk deals and debts that put Lehman in desperation before applying for bankruptcy protection.

It also includes all of the Lehman brothers' investment banking and capital market operations, including banking, commodities, swaps and bulk brokerage, in the United States, London and Canada, valued at $250 million.

Cabbage price!

Said it was a deal, but it was a real robbery. When Ford signed the deal last night, it was almost disgusting. He bit his teeth and wanted to eat Andy. Some of the board members present were even more red in the eye. At that time, the atmosphere was so depressing that many people couldn't breathe.

“So, Al, spread the word right now, and we intend to sell all the investment banking and capital market businesses in the United States, London, Canada that we just got from Lehman Brothers, so we can save a lot of money and resources.” Andy put down a few sips of coffee and said in silence.

“Do it now?” Al frowned slightly and went on to say: "This way, the price may be depressed... ”

“Oh, the price? Tell those who call to consult directly that if you want to pick up the cheap, he can go away. Now these are quality assets, don't pay the price that matches them, or let them wash and sleep! Just say what I mean!” Andy said with a grin that although he didn't know who was cheaper on this asset after Lehman went bankrupt in his previous life, he couldn't escape the vultures that took advantage of it, such as Barclays Bank, MG Chase.

But now that he's got it, he can't kill him for trying to pick up the cheap one!

(Andy robbed Lehman's acquired assets, which were in reality annexed by Barclays Bank of England for $1.75 billion - these are the "shortcuts” in Barclays' business. The deal was considered “a lifetime opportunity" by the president of Barclays Bank.
