American Fortune Life

Night falls, the sun covers every street in Manhattan, Andy sees the side of the tree-lined skyscraper in the sun through the windows, the convoy slowly crosses downtown Manhattan, Times Square, the neon flashes, the car is tidal and full of life, while Wall Street is still immersed in the agony of intense turmoil.

In a Samsung Michelin restaurant, Andy smiled and wore a bright silver fabric camisole skirt, showing the proud line of business of Ivana Fiber Waist, kissed Wen and was pulled against Andy to sit Ivana.

“Sit with me, Warren. The guy will be here soon. Sorry, I've turned him down, I just didn't think of him... ”

“Andy, the man behind this is not a gentleman...” With a smile on his face, Warren with black framed glasses appeared at the table, interrupting Andy's spit and showing a gentle smile and an Ivana patch greeting.

“Ivana, you're getting more and more attractive. Congratulations. ”

“Thank you, Mr. Buffett. Have a seat.” Ivana had a charming sweet smile on her face, stretched out her hand and said gracefully.

Instead of being caught in the current embarrassment, Andy glanced at Warren and said, "You're disturbing our world. ”

“Well, Ivana, I'm sorry, I hope you understand, extraordinary times.” Buffett said to Ivana with an apology.

Ivana Sweet shook her head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Buffett, I understand. It's a pleasure to invite you to dinner. ”

“Oh, thank you, what an elegant and charming girl!” Buffett smiled happily and said, of course, that he wasn't angry at Andy for his performance, and that he and Andy were having a bit of an oblivion, and the joke wasn't once or twice.

The three of us ordered a meal chat, but the scene where Andy Smith and Warren Buffett sat together for dinner still aroused curiosity among many of the guests in the restaurant, and from time to time someone would look at them surprised.

After all, by this time, the financial storm had converged into a financial tsunami that swept Wall Street and even the world, and the shadow of panic had swept over the world, and Andy and Warren undoubtedly had a huge influence in the American people, who, taken together, were called ghosts without attracting attention.

“Andy, this is the most panic moment I've ever seen on Wall Street.” Warren took a sip of the pre-meal sweet wine, his face was thick, his eyes were dark, and his voice was a little low, he said.

No one will doubt that this may be the most alarming moment in Wall Street history. Neither Andy nor Ivana, nor the American public, would doubt that.

Andy nodded slightly and said softly: "This is a bloodless war and an international transformation that has left countless people in a state of slump and even displacement! For us, an unprecedented game has also begun. For example, between giant and unhealed companies, we can fight the corners, and we can drop the rocks... ”

Said here, thinking of the bankrupt Lehman, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Oh, it's tragic and helpless, but it's also exciting. No more lies, no more tickets! ”

Warren Buffett smiled faintly and did not comment on it. He knew what Andy was feeling, but he watched too much of it. Besides, he would not be confused by the sad and merciful mask of the son of a bitch in front of him, who was more ruthless and greedy than anyone else.

“Andy, I'm not going in circles with you. Let's get this straight. Are you interested in AIG? If you had the chance to annex it, would you do it?” Warren lowered his voice, leaned forward, his sharp eyes and Andy looked at him.

Ivana's pupils shrink slightly, laughing and listening, and her hand holding the glass is a very unnatural little tremor.

“Oh?” Andy's eyes squinted, his brain spinning fast, looking at Buffett and asking, “Did Willenstender contact you again? ”

Warren's eyes glistened and he couldn't help but admire the young man's responsiveness, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice and said: "Before he left work, he called to ask me if I wanted a" pot of tea ”? He is referring to all property and accident insurance departments under AIG and he is offering $25 billion! ”

Andy couldn't help but squint his eyes, twinkle his eyes, and without opening his mouth, he took a sip of sweet wine and put it down and said, "Why? ”

Warren Buffett naturally understands what Andy means and has no hidden intentions: “This deal is too big, and if it involves, Burkhill will borrow a lot of money that could jeopardize its valuable AAA credit rating... ”

When Andy heard this, his mouth curled, revealing a very obvious smile, his arms flat on the table, his eyes sharply looking at Buffett faintly said: “As far as I know, AIG's financial difficulties are too serious and complicated, don't say I can't get $25 billion out of it, even if I can get it out and buy AIG, I will pull its financial cave to hell! ”

“Andy, don't get me wrong, listen to me. I mean, we're all gonna buy AIG together!” Warren Buffett said with a slightly changed face, slightly wrinkled brows and a slightly tense expression.

“ ”Andy looked at Warren's expression, frowned at him and asked curiously,“ Warren, why are you so nervous? ”

Buffett, who had always been able to defend himself, suddenly became silent and said in a low voice a moment later: “Seriously, I wasn't so worried before Lehman went bankrupt, and I was at the Omaha Country Club HappyHollowClub last night for dinner with Boolean, one of Google's founders, and his wife. But when Lehman went bankrupt unexpectedly, right after AIG had exposed $60 billion in hollows, or more! Andy, I'm really scared that the whole financial system could collapse and make me chill.

The stock prices of MG Stanley and Goldman Sachs have been falling steadily because of fears that they will be the next companies to fail. The commercial paper market, which helps national enterprises to finance their day-to-day operations, is at a standstill... “

And here, Buffett took a glass of wine, drank all the wine in it, looked down at Andy, and said, “Do you know what that means? ”

Andy didn't answer, just looked at Warren indifferently and waited for him.

“If the commercial paper market were completely frozen, more major financial institutions, and even thousands of brands like General Electric, would be dumped because their cheques would not be settled.

If that were the case, there would be panic among US money market funds with assets of about $3.5 trillion, some of which held commercial papers. The resulting turmoil could collapse global financial markets, thereby endangering Birkhill and going to hell with everyone! ”

Buffett's expression shook his head bitterly and sighed, "I feel like this is something I've never seen before, and neither the American public nor Congress fully understood the seriousness of the problem, and I think we're really in the middle of something! ”

Ivana, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but turn slightly pale and look worried about Andy, who patted Ivana's little hand lightly, and then looked at Buffett, full of pessimism, and said, "When God doesn't come to save us, the U.S. government will intervene! Perhaps, at this point in time, Paulson and Gaithner are already working on an action plan, and I am sure they both know best what catastrophe will happen in the event of the collapse of the United States International Group, rising borrowing costs, shrinking household wealth and further shrinking economic activity, causing the most lethal harm to already fragile financial markets and economies. Do you think they'd dare treat AIG the same way they did Lehman? ”

Indeed, the United States Government's assistance to financial institutions has not stopped, except in the face of the Lehman Brotherhood. Paulson has been in touch with Gaithner about saving AIG. Aware of the seriousness of the AIG problem, Paulson met with Little Flying Shoes and told him that the Fed might have to come out to save AIG and hope to get his support. After weighing the shoes, they say, do what you have to do.

Paulson has even been looking for a new CEO for AIG...
