Chapter 1610: The Dangerous Real World

Washington is the largest snow-capped city in the world, hence known as "Snow City”.

The next morning, snowflakes fly, and Washington is like a world of crystal-clear fairy tales. The fresh aroma of pine trees, the ice of white snow, gives a refreshing and refreshing comfort.

Everything is filtered, everything is sublimated, and people's minds are purified, purified and beautiful.

Wearing black tight sportswear, wearing a knitted hat, Andy breathed hot air in his glove mouth, jogging on snowy, snow-covered trails, four bodyguards also wearing sports gear scattered around and stared dead at the journalists who followed him around for photos.

The gathering of the CEOs and chairmen of the first nine Wall Street financial giants to participate in the US Treasury's $700 billion bailout program on Capitol Hill will be questioned by members of the United States Congress, which has become the biggest event in the current Washington press and the most sought-after contest in the United States.

As America's hottest star super-richman, Andy Smith received the attention he deserved, and it has to be said that reporters in Washington are truly knowledgeable. By the time Andy got home last night, reporters had learned that as soon as he left the house this morning, there were a lot of reporters squatting on the street, even if it was freezing outside.

Andy ignored these reporters screaming for questions, listened to the music with his headphones, breathed cool cold air, finished jogging, and turned home.

Watch yourself jogging in the snowflake in the morning news that is being broadcast on TV and listen to the background of the female anchor of the news.

“ The nine CEOs who will be attending the hearing today include Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Diamond of MG Chase, Lewis of Bank of America, Pandit of Citibank, Kelly of Mellon Bank of New York, Logger of Dauphin Bank, McGinnon of MG Stanley, Stamper of Rich Country Bank, and Andy Smith, who is jogging in the picture. Prior to that, his Intake Bank, together with eight other banks, had received $168 billion in federal bailout funds. ”

The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and while Andy had gotten used to being on TV, the experience of watching his own real-time stories was a bit speechless.

“Okay, let's have breakfast. Seven hours of hearings. They must be crazy! ”

Looking at the news reports on the TV, Li Wanqing was nauseated, but there was no way to refuse to participate in such a ‘semi-seritualized’ event in the face of Congressional investigation xing hearing.

“Who let him reach for the money... ”

Already sitting at the dining table, Auston looked up at the newspaper and looked at the two mothers and sons walking in and talking, whispering.

Andy shrugged his shoulders and sat down at the table and said with no concern: "At the time, they forced the money into Intake Bank, which we didn't lack, and I'm afraid I'd embarrass them if they wanted to do an article on it. ”

Auston looked at some naughty son and shook his head helplessly, saying: "There is nothing more important to Congressmen than how you spent the huge aid funds of the United States Government on paying executive salaries, lobbying the government, or paying dividends to shareholders.

Especially your investment firms and banks, which were awarded last year were so daunting that many people questioned them. ”

“If they are willing to question it, I did not create the economic crisis, and it has nothing to do with my employees, not just before, but in the future I will continue to pay salaries in a" responsible and rules-based "manner to attract and retain top talent.” Andy's mouth rose, picking his eyebrows and looking at Auston, grinning.

“You...”

“All right, eat! Leave your strength and your mouth at the hearing for a little while. What are you two doing at home? ”

Li Wanqing was not angry and directly fried his hair. He stopped his father and son from lifting their daily bars. Andy laughed twice. He became a good baby for a second. He picked up the knife and fork and started eating his breakfast quietly. Auston almost threw up blood. He stared at his son harshly and began to destroy food with a cold grunt.

Li Wanqing nodded satisfactorily. After sitting down, he served soup for two people.

“ The eight CEOs seemed to be prepared for what might happen at this year's hearing, and instead of boarding private planes as in the past, the eight giants took private cars or public transportation to Washington, respectively.

From an informant, Diamond predicted that he would face sharp inquiries about remuneration and additional benefits, and took the train to Washington to spend the night at the Park Hyatt Hotel. He met Kelly at breakfast.

Blankfein and McGinnon take commercial flights, but Blankfein stays at the Riga Hotel. Pandit spent several hours preparing for the hearing.

Only Andy Smith arrived in Washington on his private plane, which had just been delivered last year, and the Boeing 747-vip series, a replacement for the active Air Force One prepared by Boeing, cost more than $200 million... ”

The television news broadcast made both Li Wanqing and Auston look at the same frown, but with a grin Andy, Li Wanqing said with some apprehension: “At present, the public is angry with the financial industry, this obviously guiding public opinion, you should pay attention. ”

“Well, Ma, don't worry, it's just clowns. I earn my money from it and spend it as much as I want, but I won't let go of this kind of guided story!” Andy first soothed Li Wanqing, then dropped the knife and fork, dragged the napkin and wiped his mouth, picked up his cell phone at the table and called with a grin.

“It was me, who immediately sent a lawyer letter to c-span television to sue them for their reports with a clear bias towards xing, which caused serious damage to my reputation by guiding xing reports... ”

Watching Andy Ray make arrangements, I was a little worried that Li Wanqing and Auston both looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled. Even Auston, a senior barrister, was nearly costless by his own hedgehog son. I felt a toothache. You know, this litigation is hard to win, but it can make the c-span TV station, which is supposed to be playing poker, worse. It's just a piece of pie with money.

Since the Government invested in the nine major banks, the public has run out of money on how banks use the Government's bailout funds, and banks were not initially asked to disclose how they spent the money. Until recently, American public criticism of Wall Street bankers grew as billions of dollars in bank bonus programs, parties sponsoring big football sports events, banks buying private planes, and more came to light in the media.

Especially Andy Smith, who was already brilliant, as the youngest super-richman in the world, also received financial assistance from Incotech Bank, which led many well-intentioned people to focus more on Incotech Bank, while some negative news continued to be exposed, such as triggering compensation agreements, creating homeless people, and granting bonus benefits.

Ki-soo must be destroyed by the forest wind!

This sentence applies to the whole world, you know, the rise of Andy Smith is not viewed by everyone with good intentions, and Andy knows how many people are hiding in the dark to count him, waiting for him to make a mistake, there are no good people in the business world, and the real world is even more dangerous!
