American Fortune Life

Chapter 1198: Nice Guys and Heroes

“I wish this catastrophe would go away soon... ”

Back in the car, Ivana was lying in Andy's arms, whispering softly.

Andy caressed Ivana's golden hair and kissed comfort on her forehead: "Don't worry, everything will be fine. ”

“Honey, do you think Warren Buffett's worried about... ”

“Oh, don't worry, I told you Washington wouldn't let things get any worse, but tonight's exchange surprised me slightly, Warren, a determined patriot.” Andy said with a smile, then his eyes squinted slightly and his heart sighed deeply.

“Mr. Buffett is niceguy.” Ivana softly echoed the Way of Peace.

Andy was slightly stunned, ‘niceguy' heard the term and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, which was the most important point in American culture.

To survive and be mainstream in America, everyone from birth to the moment of death, the American culture to follow throughout their lives, including the corporate culture of the United States, is niceguy.

Of course, that's not what good people mean. Well, Buffett's set is really very much in line with the mainstream values of white American society, understated, simple, kind, friendly...

“He has two wives...” Andy whispered maliciously.

“Pfft -”

Ivana smiled without anger. She glanced at him and punched him in the face a few times. "After Mrs. Buffett's death, he married his current wife. ”

“But after all, he kept two women at home, waiting for him... Damn, this old hoodlum, really... Cough, I didn't mean anything.” Andy was very jealous of the jealous spit, but his waist was threatened by Ivana's smiling expression and his tiny hand, which was strangled between his waists, and he coughed twice in a hurry to shut up.

“Huh!”

The next day, on the 16th, AIG was still in the heat of the water, and the old-fashioned insurance company, involved in life insurance, life insurance, financial insurance and car insurance, held retirement accounts for millions of American families, provided insurance to 180,000 businesses, covered two thirds of the workforce in the United States and held a $2.7 trillion derivative contract.

Everyone knows that AIG can be different from Lehman, who has only $5 billion of business in the United States, and that once AIG falls, Americans are really screwed.

In the morning, New York Governor David Patterson announced approval for the United States International Group, the largest insurer in distress, to use its subsidiary's $20 billion assets for self-help.

Immediately afternoon in Washington, D.C., when the price of AIG shares fell to $2, Gaithner offered some terms to the AIG Board of Directors to rescue it, provide $85 billion in capital to AIG through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, get 79.9% of the stake in AIG, the government took three-quarters of the stake in AIG shareholders, and, of course, AIG was paying "high interest loans," and the CEO was replaced, and a group of executives were fired!

“That's vicious!” Andy looked at the fax in his hand and said with a grin, looking at the message displayed,

“The crisis has begun to affect American politics. Poor financial regulation in the United States has been the focus of external criticism, and the public, as well as the media, are questioning the apparent misconduct of these institutions and, more importantly, their disregard for the crisis and the collapse of Lehman have further widened the crisis.” Al said seriously.

“The worst of all, Mr. President, had to back Paulson up, abandoning the decision to rescue the Lehman brothers became the focus of a questionable little flying shoe government, which became a disaster that not only caused a stock market crash, but also triggered a political upheaval, the presidential campaign shifted the focus from a" lipstick for pigs "saliva battle, the Wall Street financial disaster, and suddenly became a test for the two presidential candidates, O'Blackbull and McCain. ”

Alvitelli said, making Andy laugh again, "The two of them have been arguing over the past year over who can best handle the crisis when they get an emergency call at 3: 00 in the morning, and can now try the financial crisis first. ”

Hearing the big BOSS laugh of some misfortune and joy, Al shook his head and laughed: “What good can those two do but brag is make a wish.

But, boss, the panic in the market is a bit beyond imagination. Last night, at a friend's birthday party, several guests asked me if their money market fund was safe. To be honest, I was starting to worry, too. It has long been regarded as indestructible money market fund, and its security xing has caused widespread concern. ”

Andy looked at Al in the face, and he couldn't help but sigh, and don't look at Al, Budstone, his own people, who were helping him make crazy empty money, were still very worried about the real collapse of the American financial system, after all, so that what they had always thought was the greatest confidence in the United States would be shattered, which was no doubt unacceptable to these American elites.

“Panic inevitably takes time and confidence to calm down, and at the right time, not only will Warren help to boost confidence, but I will.” Andy's eyes sparkled with bright light, bluntly speaking.

Al was also slightly blinking, looking at his big boss and saying, "You're going to be a hero! ”

Andy smiled slightly and shook his head as if he didn't care. In fact, this was the perfect strategy for his double-sculpture arrow, which would not only take a footprint in the stock market, but also become a hero in the eyes of Americans, a patriot.

Tsk, niceguy! Andy Smith is a good man!

As long as he has an example of the mainstream values of American society, BUFF, in case of any kind of private life disruption that is really exposed one day, harmony such as bastards will be easily forgiven and accepted by the people. After all, who can have no shortcomings? Otherwise, Warren Buffett's old gangster monogamy will not be ignored by the American society as a whole.

“By the way, what's the price of gold now?” Wake up from YY, Andy looks at Al and asks.

“$775 ounces, driven by sharp falls in global stock markets and rising hedging sentiment, gold prices have risen dramatically, boss you plan to... ”

As soon as he heard the price, Andy shook his head gently and smiled, "Not yet. ”

Alvitelli's gaze was slightly invisible, and to be honest, he felt a little strange about some of the big BOSS judgments at first, but now he knows that some of his big BOSS judgments are amazing.

Though most of it is the result of data analysis by think tanks, it still doesn't mask the flash point of the Big BOSS, and perhaps the owner is God's favorite pet.

“Investment banking and capital market business, after the news got out, did anyone ask for a quote?” Andy naturally didn't know what was in Al's mind, and even if he did, he wouldn't be nervous at first. After all, crossing this kind of thing was really lame, and they'd rather believe it was God's favorite.

“Yes, Barclays, Zhongtou and Mitsubishi are all here. They're all trying to get some benefit from the Wall Street rotters. After all, the skinny dead camels are still huge! However, apart from Barclays Bank, which was very sincere, the other two were trying to pick up the cheap.

Lehman Commercial Bank at its peak and ranked seventh in the global stock underwriting business, and Barclays didn't even crowd in the top 25, they had an early ambition to open the North American market, and this time they also looked at Lehman's business to make up for their shortcuts.

But their takeover was stopped by the British government's unwillingness to wait for Lehman's bankruptcy for the first time to take the fat, and, heh, I heard that when Barclays' CEO learned that we had acquired Lehman's core business, Qi directly smashed a TV. ”

“Ha ha...” When he heard Al's report, Andy laughed with a big smile and was able to feed the bad guys. He was really happy with his heart. After his laughter had subsided, he laughed with a cold smile. “I just wanted them to regret it and get killed! I didn't expect 800 million dollars. They weren't scared off. Tsk. ”

“ ”The corner of Al's mouth pulled slightly, a black thread in his head, and for his own boss, he didn't know what to say.
