Chapter 2482 Good Intentions

One of the privileges of being a big shot is that you can jump in the queue, even on an impromptu basis, completely ignoring the reservation process.

This, especially for government agencies, whether Chinese or foreign, is really as common as eating and drinking.

Therefore, when representatives from several Wall Street companies saw Pelosi, who was nominally going to attend this meeting, but in fact usually did not attend, she walked into the meeting room energetically with her bag in hand, and was familiar with other congressmen. When they said hello, they immediately knew that the difficulty of today's meeting would be slightly higher.

However, the media who had already set up their machines were a little excited. With the speaker attending the meeting, the level of attention would naturally be higher.

Then maybe, today's trip may yield some results, such as a news anchor's voice broadcast, or maybe it can become a short message in a newspaper?

Although everyone is worried about subprime mortgages, most of these meetings are still clichés, "... Facts have proved that the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts have been very effective. Both housing prices and the economic situation are currently showing a positive trend..."

The culprits identified by everyone naturally emphasize the optimism of the situation as always.

Look, this year is almost over, and a lot of the data is actually very good, so don’t listen to those words.

The main thing is that congressmen don't really understand these issues.

To be honest, except for Wall Street professionals, there are people who can understand MBS, CDO, and CDS these days, but there are really not many on Capitol Hill.

If they understood this, who would still be jabbering on Capitol Hill? Wouldn't it be better to go to Wall Street and get a million-dollar annual salary?

"...Similar to what we have experienced before, this is actually a market cycle, just a market cycle... The products may be changed and the market may need to be improved, but the final result must be clear: the United States still needs banks, and it still needs Financial sector……"

Seeing that even the Speaker did not speak, the Wall Street representatives finished their presentations and exchanged knowing glances easily, knowing that none of you actually had anything to say.

But at this moment, Pelosi spoke, "That is, do you think the most effective way to deal with the crisis at present is to cut interest rates?"

“Can all the financial problems we encounter be solved by raising or lowering interest rates?”

Tch, childish!

If you don’t understand relevant professional knowledge, you can’t be a leader?

"We all know that it is almost the end of the year. I believe that by this time next month, everyone here will definitely be able to get a salary that is much higher than what ordinary people can get after working for decades,"

"If all the thorny problems we face can be solved by simply raising or lowering interest rates, then please tell me, what is the point of your high salary?" the Speaker said sternly.

In the camera lens of the photographer, her eyes were shining as brightly as the diamond necklace around her neck.

"We noticed that in Silicon Valley, at noon today, a startup company called Android held a press conference. At the meeting, they clearly proposed a concept,"

The Wall Street representatives were stunned, and the media were even more stunned.

These guys on Wall Street may not care about the Android launch conference, but of course the media does. The question is, they look at Pelosi, why do you still care about this?

"I very much agree with the concept they proposed. With the development of smart phones and the advent of excellent mobile operating systems that are free and open to the market," - when saying this, the old lady still lowered her head. After all, these are some professional terms that are a bit difficult to speak.

"We are indeed about to enter a new era, an era that can be called mobile Internet,"

The media present were a little dazed at this time.

The Android launch conference has indeed ended, but the relevant news has not been published in newspapers and has only been introduced on some websites.

So even for professionals like them, the mobile Internet era is still a very new term and concept, but you actually know it so quickly and still quote it here?

There are hundreds of congressmen on Capitol Hill. Why is it that you, an almost 70-year-old grandmother, are so concerned about this situation?

How come you, an almost 70-year-old grandmother, are so outstanding?

Pelosi: Do you think I do? It’s not forced!

Those people on Wall Street once again looked around to ask for their peers' opinions. Why would they bring this up at this time?

Even if he accepts lobbying from some lobbyist, it would be inappropriate to bring up such an irrelevant topic at a meeting like this.

Finally the one sitting in the middle said, "Sorry, we don't quite understand..."

"So, why in such a new era, our financial industry is still relying on the old methods from decades ago to solve the problems we face?"

"Is this something we should think deeply about?"

“If we could innovate like Silicon Valley, wouldn’t this crisis be possible?”

Pelosi opened the mineral water and took a sip.

She said so much in one breath, switching from subprime mortgages to Android, and her throat felt so dry.

But she is happy at this time, haha, you should be satisfied with my good intentions!

Those on Wall Street felt that what the old lady said was so high-level that it seemed to make sense.

But Mr. Speaker, did you know that we are also innovating? We are always innovating.

We first came up with MBS, and then we came up with CDO... We can even say that the current subprime mortgage crisis is the result of our continuous innovation.

So, what should we say?

Because from the current results, our innovations seem to be courting death.

So can we still say at this time: We haven't innovated enough?

…………

After the participants dispersed, the media were still discussing, "I didn't expect that the first person in the political circle to affirm and quote this concept was her!"

Yes, how come in the past few years, everyone didn't see that this old lady was so highly concerned about some trends in Silicon Valley?

Still, someone quietly expressed his suspicion, "Do you think that just now it was a bit like advertising for Android?"

The only answer to him was "Hehehe".

Everyone is not stupid, and some things can be seen naturally.

But for these people on Capitol Hill, isn't this a common thing?

However, since Android is so quick, it seems that reports related to today's meeting should also be more careful.

Page and Brin couldn't hide their surprise this time.

It was the first time he saw Feng Yiping like this.

They repeatedly used their eyes to confirm that Feng really picked his ears just now, right!

Although they saw it with their own eyes, they still didn't quite believe their eyes.

This guy who was rude and a bit rogue, was he really Feng Yiping?

Brin looked up and looked around. Why were there no cameras? Where was the camera just now? Why wasn't it pointed here? ——If the camera was still pointed here, Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson wouldn't have come here.

What a pity!

We must learn from this experience and lessons. If we encounter similar situations in the future, we must make relevant preparations first.

Look at this time, such a wonderful scene can't even be left behind. It's such a pity.

While they felt that they had learned another trick, they still had some small regrets.

Such a move, it's acceptable for a young person like Feng Yiping to do it, but it would be a bit ugly for old guys like them to do such a move.

But for Fink and Johnson, how could such a move be accepted?

They also couldn't believe their eyes.

Because such actions and words can only be seen in some brainless movies and TV dramas. They could never imagine that such a scene would actually happen to them.

For them, this is definitely the most unforgettable series of their lifetime.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, as well as Abigail and Robert, all lost the ability to control their expressions at this time.

After a long pause, Lawrence Fink lowered his voice, "Although it can be said that it is a very normal business behavior, we are willing to admit that we did something wrong,"

"So, just say it, what else do you want?"

At this time, Miles, who was standing quietly by the side in Pelosi's office, finally received the call, and his face immediately showed joy...
