Chapter 993 Talking about the color change, fear like a tiger (seven more)
"Who is it? Haha, Boris, are you sure you want to know? You must know that you owe me twice..."
After a night of fierce battle, Andy was woken up by the phone in the early morning and covered the blanket for Lima, who was tired and still asleep. He picked up a nightgown from the ground and put it on, yawned, and joked while walking with the phone.
"Hi Andy, you know my campaign is at a critical moment, and the answer will be revealed in May. I am determined to win the mayor of London. As my good friend, you will support me, right?"
Hearing the big mouth Boris Johnson approaching him, Andy sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he still said with a smile: "Of course, man, of course I support you, but Boris, this is the third time..."
"Damn it, my dear friend, don't worry, after I take over, I will help you solve the problem of White Hart Lane Stadium as soon as possible. Oh my God, you are such a bastard!"
"Hi, Boris, don't you feel like you're at a loss, okay? How many jobs can a new stadium solve for London? Now there are layoffs around the world, and a large number of people are unemployed. I'm helping you!" Andy sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, took the fresh juice handed over by the maid, and smiled while drinking.
"Damn it, but what you want is clean land, and the city government guarantees that the money for building the stadium will have an interest-free loan. Oh my God, you greedy guy, okay, maybe that's why you can rank 20 for Forbes!"
Andy sneered, "Boris, don't forget that Tottenham is one of the low-income families in London, the highest and most unemployment rate in London. If your city government doesn't come forward, how much time and money will it take to buy that land?
Also, the new stadium will bring new economic vitality and will give those poor people a career choice to make a living. Otherwise, haha, those young people who do nothing will use riots and violence to attract your attention!”
"Okay, okay, man, you're always right. I hope that the forgotten area will be better. There is already a lot of trouble in London. If I don't think of a solution, this cancer will poison Greater London. I will do my best to make this happen. This is my promise. If it doesn't work, I agree and help you move the stadium out of Tottenham... Okay, damn it, can you tell me who is now?"
"Haha, who else can it be? It ranks 46th on the global rich list. The prince's godfather, the richest man in the UK, and the Duke of Westminster..." Andy said with a sinister smile.
"hiss"
Boris's gasp sound came from the phone, followed by a deep breath, "Andy, Andy, my dearest friend, please be sure not to expose it... Damn, he will make Britain a laughing stock in the world..."
Andy hung up the phone after making a few perfunctory words. He didn't want to listen to Boris' chatter, but he had learned from Boris's words that the reports made the politicians in the whole of England unable to sleep or eat, and they were worried about themselves and encountered the same bad luck as Spitzer.
"Damn, the British are just owing a draw. Didn't they gloat about the hype before? Now I'm so happy!"
Meanwhile, at 5 a.m. New York time, Paulson, Geithner, Bernanke, and Cox of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission held a conference call and connected to MG Chase's EO Jamie Dimon.
"Bear Stearn's failure will be a market disaster. The key is to let Bear Stearn survive this period..." MG Chase's Dimon emphasized on the phone.
"The problem is that now, your bids are unacceptable to the entire Wall Street and the shareholders and employees who hold one-third of Bear Stearns' shares. I hope you can consider the acquisition price again!" Bernanke glanced at the Treasury Secretary Paulson beside him and said to the phone.
"Well, we need a day to sort out Bear Stearn's books, and before nightfall we will quote again..."
"Dimon, I had a phone call with former Fed Chairman Paul Volker, and he also said that the current situation is very terrible and is likely to get worse. If Bear Stearn falls, the situation will be out of control. I hope you can think carefully!" Fed Chairman Bernanke said in a heavy tone. ...
After the call, Bernanke looked at the Treasury Secretary Paulson beside him and said, "What do you say about the president?"
"The president expressed support for the rescue of Bear Stearn. Later, he would speak at the New York Athletic Club. The speech "will not help anyone" in the speech." Paulson nodded slightly and said.
"I'm afraid, without the support of the Fed, mg Chase will not take over Bear Stearn..."
Paulson was slightly stunned, looking at Bernanke with a look of surprise, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "What happened again?"
"Nearly three-quarters of Bear Stearns' assets are subprime loans. No matter what the price, he will not want this part of the assets..."
"Shet!" Paulson's face turned dark, and he slapped the table with helplessness and anger in his expression, "This group of bastards! Once the Fed opens its opening, the risk will be expanded again!"
"I also understand that no one can predict how many financial institutions will need money, and no one can predict the amount of their borrowing. Once the borrower cannot repay the loan, the Fed will suffer heavy losses. In the end, in order to avoid the collapse of the financial system, the losses will still be transferred to the shui people and save Wall Street's interests at the expense of public interests. In this way, the Fed's own credit will be greatly weakened.
But, is there any other way now? Wall Street is now like a sieve full of holes, and there is a group of greedy sharks swimming outside, waiting for the opportunity to pounce on it... "
The small conference room was in silence, with only a few helpless sighs left, the door was knocked.
"Gerard, have you not slept all night?" Paulson saw the chief staff member walking in, his eyes were covered in blood, but he was a little excited and asked with a frown.
"Minister, I know who Gaia's next target is!"
Paulson didn't react, but looked at the excited expression of the staff, blinked his eyes, and then asked anxiously, "Andy Smith?"
"Yes, their next target is Merrill Lynch, which suffered as much as $15 billion in losses due to mortgage investments..."
Paulson and Bernanke looked at each other and saw concerns in each other's eyes, listening to the explanations of their staff and the various data analysis materials displayed in front of them.
"So, they have almost completed the layout, and I don't know when the plan will be launched. According to my speculation about Andy Smith's personality and his past cases in his think tank, they like to borrow the general trend of the market and are very good at fueling the fire, because once the scale is formed, even if good news or rescue is issued, they can use the time difference and leave. It took them three months to barely complete the layout. This time, perhaps Merrill Lynch will be more serious than Bear Stearns!"
