American Fortune Life

In the futuristic, minimalist, modern office of Gaia Building, Andy's smile never dissipated, whistling happily as he lay on the boss's chair, feet on the desk, yum, drinking coffee and looking at the documents on his hands.

Oh...

Andy laughed happily again, and to be honest, he really couldn't hold back his inner joy, really!

Well, he thinks he's got tens of billions of dollars, and more than 10 billion doesn't make him silly, but numbers and cash, and the pleasure and visual impact of seeing and touching 'Golden Mountain’ are two different things, really!

This can't be blamed for Andy's lack of calm, because it's a thing that no one can calm down!

Knock, knock, knock.

After knocking on the door, a small assistant pushed in with a black skinny pencil pants and a white, vertical front tied bow shirt, and a slender, straight TUI was longer supported by a black stiletto heel.

“Boss, Mr. Carmel is back, outside. ”

Let him in. ”

Andy glanced and said as he put his foot down on the desk and sat upright, putting the coffee cup aside, some looking forward to the door of the office.

Soon, the assistant walked in with a well-dressed elite man in his 30s, carrying a black suitcase in his hand, wrists and handles of the suitcase handcuffed together by a metallic glossy handcuff.

“Good morning, boss. ”

“Good morning, Carmel. Thank you. Is everything in there?” Andy smiled and asked after reaching out and shaking his subordinates' hands.

“Yes, boss.” Carmel did not hesitate to put the black leather case on the desk, when one of the two bodyguards walked in behind him took out the key to open the cuffs and the other bodyguard took out the other key to open the suitcase and dialed the code a few times.

“Click! ”

That's when Carmel opened the suitcase and took a black velvet bag out of it and carefully handed it to Andy.

Andy smiled and took the bag, then pulled open his pocket, opened his left palm, and poured the bag into his left palm with his right hand.

“Vitelsbach Blue Diamond! ”

The blue diamond, 6, 7 cm tall and about 4 cm wide, landed in Andy's palm, dropped the velvet bag, and Andy pinched it with two fingers in his right hand and placed it in front of his own eyes.

Deep and blue as the sea!

After spending $24.3 million on this 35.56-carat blue diamond, he finally got it. With a history of at least 350 years, it was once a jewel on the crown of Austria and the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was bright, pure and flawless and truly unmatched.

“Boss, under ultraviolet light, it emits orange phosphorescence.” Carmel passed a UV miniature flashlight, "he said.

Andy nodded his head, placing the blue diamond on a velvet bag, illuminated the blue diamond with UV light for a dozen seconds, then picked up the blue diamond again, and it did emit a brighter orange red.

Holding the blue diamond in his hand, Andy smiled and said to Carmel, "Thank you very much. Just get off the plane and come and rest. ”

“No hard work, then, boss, I'm leaving first. ”

“Well, why don't you guys go back and get some rest, and jet lag.” Andy said to the two bodyguards standing by.

“Good boss. ”

When the three of them left, Andy just opened his hand and the office door was pushed open, a little assistant with an excited expression stepped on his heels and walked over, “Let me see, let me see... Oh, my God! It's beautiful! Boss, can I touch it? ”

Seeing her excited face red, her eyes stared at the blue diamond in her hand, almost staring at the small star, she could not help but greedy drool. She shook her head and smiled, squeezing the blue diamond directly into the little assistant's slightly trembling hand.

“Just keep watching here!” Looking at the excited look on his face, the dazzling assistant, Andy, picked up the folder on the table, took a sip of coffee, and stood up and walked out.

As for the little assistant, who had already smiled with the Vitelsbach blue diamond, he nodded instinctively, ignoring the king of the devil who had left, pinched the blue diamond excitedly, facing the sunshine of the floor window, and watched it shine in the sun.

In the conference room, Andy stretched his hand down twice, indicating that as he walked in, he stood up to greet his men, walked to the first seat of the oval table of the General Assembly, and again extended his hand and said, “Sit down. ”

“Yesterday there was a bit of a personal delay, what was the attitude of several banks towards our acquisition financing? ”

Alvitelli replied: "Totally supportive, Bank of America, Rich Country Bank and Goldman Sachs would like to raise funds directly from the three of them and see no need for external bond issuance. ”

“Oh, they want beauty, financing 70%, issuing 30% bonds to the outside world, can't let them take everything, I don't want to concentrate on debt too much, prevent it from happening. ”

Don't look at the three banks now, all kinds of kneeling tian, because he Andy Smith has strong gold capital as collateral, and they can also get a lot of commissions from this acquisition.

If Andy Smith had a shortage of money chains, they would definitely be the first to turn around and rip off his hungry wolf.

“The news has spread, and since yesterday afternoon, a number of banks have called to seek cooperation, expressing their willingness to lend money to their bosses at low interest rates, and MG Stanley has directly expressed his willingness to help their bosses arrange bridge loans, which are indeed very low.” Alvitelli said, taking a file out of the folder and handing it to Andy.

“Huh.” Andy looked at the bank name on the file and couldn't help but smile: “These are the unprofitable early guys, Citibank also want to join together, they're all in trouble, don't forget to grab food! ”

“According to the information we have, the United States Treasury Department, the Fed and the Federal Savings Insurance Corporation will issue a joint statement in the next two days, and the Treasury Department and the Federal Savings Insurance Corporation will guarantee a total of $306 billion in liabilities for Citigroup, including mortgages on housing and commercial real estate loans.

At the same time, the United States Government will allocate $20 billion from the latest $700 billion financial rescue programme for the purchase of shares in Citi. ”

Alvitelli explained, looking at the boss frowned and thought, after a slight pause, continued.

“Citigroup is the second-largest commercial bank in the United States with $2 trillion in assets after MG Chase, based on book assets.

Citigroup has approximately 200 million customers in 106 countries and regions worldwide, with a total of over 350,000 employees. Citigroup is a super "giant" for the United States and even the international financial system, so the United States Government will not and must not let it go bankrupt. ”

“Oh, it's big again!” Andy smiled and mocked.

“Indeed, Lehman's bankruptcy left the government and Wall Street, which they thought would do little harm, bitter enough and afraid to take any more risks, because it might really crumble the American financial system, and they are now like frightened babies! ”

“Ha ha... ”

There was a laugh in the conference room and Andy shook his head and waved his hand with a smile: “Since we all want to grab food and have money, then naturally we have to choose a good party to work with.

This way, get them all together in the afternoon and then we'll talk about the terms individually and choose the most appropriate partnership! “

“Ha ha... ”

The people in the conference room will laugh again, and their big BOSS really likes to sneak out of these banks, and this is the world, and when it benefits them, it's God, the Lord. They'll be on their knees and shoving money in your arms.

“Inform the General Electric Negotiations team that we are sending teams to NBC and Universal Film for full asset and account review! The transaction will only continue if the asset is confirmed and there is no discrepancy! ”

When the crowd finished laughing, Andy smiled and said seriously.

“Yes, I will personally lead the team this time!” Alvitelli similarly expressed seriousness and responded very solemnly that any omission or omission involving $17 billion in transactions could cost the boss hundreds of millions of dollars, something that could never be so-so.

“Well, thank you very much, so I can rest assured!” When he heard Al's decision, Andy nodded and was careful not to make a big mistake. After all, the transaction was too large and involved too many assets and accounts, and it did take Al to do it himself to make him feel more comfortable.
