Chapter 2528 Wall Street’s Tactics

Monday, March 10th, New York.

After a morning run, Feng Yiping, who had just taken a shower, was drying his hair when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, "Come in," he shouted loudly.

Then I heard hurried footsteps. Was there more than one person?

He looked over and saw that not only Wu Qian was there, but Cummins, who had just arrived yesterday, Javier Weber, the newly appointed financial director of NEXTDOOR, and Ms. Jennifer Robinson, the chief information officer, were also there.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yiping," "Feng," several people rushed to speak, and Jennifer also turned on the TV.

"Wait a minute," Feng Yiping looked at their faces with shock and excitement. Seeing that Owen didn't come in, he was sure that the sky was not falling, or it was due to some reasons or things. Development has deviated from its original trajectory. For example, New York suffered another terrorist attack.

"I'll change my clothes first,"

Wu Qian and the others immediately turned their faces.

Two minutes later, Feng Yiping came out while buttoning his sleeves, "Tell me, what's the big deal,"

At this time, everyone stopped talking and just pointed at the TV.

Feng Yiping took a look and said, "Spitzer?"

Several photos on TV show that he had just met New York State Governor Elliott Spitzer at the Gridiron Club dinner at the Renaissance Washington Hotel on the night of the 8th.

However, Feng Yiping couldn't help but open his mouth as he watched.

In the words of the host, the governor of New York State, "the Sheriff of Wall Street" and "Mr. Clean" now has a newer and more concise title, "Guest No. 9".

And his new title comes from a well-known escort club in the industry, the "Emperor Club".

To put it simply, when the New York State Attorney General was in office, he had no tolerance for the sex industry and even increased the prison terms of those unlucky gentlemen who were caught taking care of the business of women in special industries from three months to a full year. "Mr. Clean", privately, takes special care of women in special industries.

Before that, Spitzer had another label, which was "frugal." "For the attorney general's election, he had to buy his own house." "He wore the same pair of leather shoes for many years, and even wore them until the soles were worn out. Even if the hole gets wet, I won’t change a pair..."

At present, according to the information obtained by the TV station, this frugal governor has spent as much as US$80,000 on some ladies at the Emperor Club! ——That is, it is more than the combined income of two middle-class American families in a year.

The reason why there are such accurate figures is that the reason why Spitzer's scandal was exposed was because his account bank, Northfolk Bank of New York, reported to the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service that their The client, Mr. Spitzer, had suspicious fund movements from his personal account.

Specifically, its large transfers may be broken into parts to avoid supervision.

The bank where he opened his account did this because they modelly complied with U.S. regulations: when a customer transfers more than $10,000, the bank is obliged to notify the regulatory authorities so that the latter can promptly understand illegal activities such as money laundering and drug trading.

Relevant units in the United States are said to have been eyeing the Emperor's Club. After that, Spitzer's latest search for a young lady was monitored by personnel from the Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service and the FBI.

In the middle of last month, Spitzer contacted the Emperor's Club in advance and asked the other party to send a young lady to Washington from 9 to 10 pm on February 13, the day before the romantic Valentine's Day.

To this end, he also sent a sum of cash in advance.

Afterwards, the customer service staff of the Emperor Club assigned this business to a young lady who was interested in a music career.

Spitzer was quite satisfied when he learned that the person who provided him with services was Kristen, whom he had had several pleasant contacts with. He commented, "Very good!" and happily expressed his willingness to pay this young lady an additional sum. cash.

The next question is how to let the young lady he likes enter his room unobtrusively when he is not in the room - after all, he is a well-known political figure.

Spitzer, who was full of expectations, and the enthusiastic customer service quickly came up with a solution: Spitzer opened the door before going out, so that the young lady could enter without going through the front desk...

This should be regarded as the American version, an inverted version of "the door opens for you".

Feng Yiping really didn't know what to say.

But to be fair, it can only be said that the governor is too unlucky, because he believes that Spitzer's colleagues, whether they are gentlemen or ladies, are probably no better than him.

He changed the channel, and a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion was also announcing the news excitedly. Then he changed the channel, and there was a photo of Spitzer waving to the crowd, and then he changed the channel... This morning, Spitzer was Ce became the screen tyrant.

He flipped through the newspapers they brought in, "How many media outlets are reporting this news?"

"North America, as well as Europe, seems to be broadcast simultaneously," chief news officer Jennifer said.

North America and Europe in sync? Bank report?

In front of Feng Yiping's eyes, the events at the dinner party on the 8th couldn't help flashing back.

Goldman Sachs's Lord somewhat rudely avoided meeting with New York Mayor Bloomberg and New York Governor Spitzer.

Spitzer looked particularly relaxed, just like President Bush, who sang for the first and last time at the dinner because he knew that he had not much time left in his term.

But at the same time, he did not hide his contempt for Wall Street.

New York Mayor Bloomberg looked at Wall Street giants such as Lauder, with anger visible in his eyes.

Bear Stearns, one of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, fell from nearly $80 to nearly $60 from last Monday to last Friday, making the entire Wall Street uneasy...

Suddenly, the things that were originally unclear became clear.

The reason why Spitzer acted as carefree as Bush at the time was probably because he also knew when his term as governor would end, that is, he knew that his scandal would be exposed by the media on Monday morning.

Bloomberg should have known about it, so he was a little angry at the time.

The reason why Lauder avoided Spitzer showed that he also knew it - and even more than that!

Putting the whole thing together, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: Wall Street, which is in a panic, urgently needs a sensational news to divert public attention, so as to prevent Bear Stearns from continuing to fall after the market opens this week.

And Spitzer, who has always been at odds with them, is heavy enough and the topic is very attractive. It is really appropriate to be introduced at this time.

Ruthless, ruthless, leaving no room for maneuver... So, this is Wall Street!

"Let's all go," Feng Yiping turned off the TV and stood up, "Focus on Hilton and Blackstone,"

"At the same time, pay close attention to the changes in Bear Stearns' stock price after the market opens,"

He actually didn't know the specific progress of the subprime mortgage, so he didn't know what kind of reversals there would be.

But he knew that Bear Stearns would eventually cease to exist, so even if there were any reversals, it didn't matter. Under the current situation, Wall Street could only avoid it for a while with such means.

So, at most, the Hilton project would be launched after a while.

However, the impact of this incident would definitely be multifaceted.

Feng Yiping felt sorry for Hillary at this time.

I believe that Hillary, who was competing with Comrade Obama for the Democratic Party's formal nomination this morning, must be very unhappy.

Feng Yiping is very clear about the nature of the American media. He believes that by noon, the photos of former President Clinton and the famous White House female intern Lewinsky will soon appear on many screens again.

At such a time, being dragged into such a thing, some people really feel that the disaster will come from the sky while sitting at home.

And the luckiest one should be Obama, which is really equivalent to God helping him.

So the question is, is it possible that Obama's campaign team also played a role in this matter?

Feng Yiping remembered the economic policy designator of Obama's campaign team, former Treasury Secretary Summers, who is now closely related to Wall Street and has a strong utilitarianism.

He sent a text message to Buchanan, who was also with Obama.

An hour later, Spitzer's press conference was broadcast live on TV. He brought his wife with him, admitted that he had made a mistake, and apologized to the public.

The last image of him on TV was him lowering his head, gritting his teeth and pursing his lips.

At this time on Wall Street, there were many people like him, gritting their teeth and pursing their lips. The US stock market had already opened, and the stock price of Bear Stearns still fell at the opening...
