Chapter 1738: Besiege Wei to Save Zhao
Yang Dongxu came to Xiangjiang again. In this troubled year, it would be more convenient for frontline command to go to the United States. But with the temperament of those conglomerate gangsters in the United States, it is undoubtedly very unsafe now and in the past.
After all, these people who detain people and do all kinds of coercion and inducement have too many criminal records and are not worthy of trust, so it is better to come to Xiangjiang.
The finance here in Xiangjiang happens to be in line with international standards. Although it is not as convenient as sitting here in the United States or the United Kingdom to discuss with Jack, William and others in person, you can also get first-hand international financial news here, so it is quite good to be in Xiangjiang. good.
On the afternoon of the day he arrived in Hong Kong, he met Dean at the Peninsula Hotel.
This time, Picken and others did not come to detonate the big thunder of Lehman Brothers, especially in the financial story. This time Picken and others made great efforts.
Now I am sitting on Wall Street in the United States, always paying attention to every move of the Nasdaq index. I have no time to do it.
William couldn't come to Xiangjiang, so he had to ask Dean to come. As for Little Jack and the Kendi family, they are also very busy this time.
Regardless of whether they can win this time in a fight with the Morgan Alliance, the Lehman Group will definitely not survive. So these two families are watching eagerly and preparing to pounce on the meat.
Although both the California syndicate and the Kennedy family are now in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, the declining California consortium has not been completely strangled by the arms consortium, so it still has the strength to resist.
Therefore, for the core assets of the Lehman Group, Jack is bound to get them, but he will definitely have to tear off a few pieces of meat this time. After all, if he misses this village, he will not have this store.
As for the Kennedy family, no matter how declining it is now, it is still one of the four major political groups in the United States. Although the Boston consortium behind him is not as good as the current California consortium.
But the political resources they hold are still very abundant, so this time they are keeping a close eye on the seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, the seats of some justices, etc. held by Lehman Brothers.
It is said that even the Boston consortium, which was noisy behind the scenes, became quiet this time. After all, when there is no meat to eat in the outside world and they are being pressed every step of the way, these people will naturally make a fuss and want to share more of the three melons and two dates.
Now that there is meat to eat outside, it is natural to pick up the meat and eat it first. The family property and other things at home will be divided when they come back after eating the meat.
"We will suffer a lot from your decision." This was Dean's first words when he met Yang Dongxu.
This is not another complaint, but a statement of facts. Their previous plan was for Morgan and other consortiums to charge in front while they followed behind to take advantage.
Now they are the ones who are picking up the bargains and have turned into charging into the battle to pave the way for the Morgan consortium, among other things. Just to detonate the Lehman Group and force things to happen on the Nasdaq stock market, the funds used are not a small amount.
After all, before an avalanche, you need to release the triggers of the avalanche, right?
And releasing this inducement costs a lot of money, a lot of money. These losses need to be borne by themselves.
It would be okay if we can make profits from the Lehman Group and the subsequent financial crisis caused by the global subprime mortgage crisis. If we cannot make profits, it will really be a pure loss.
"At present, it seems that although the price has been paid, the effect is not bad, right? At least the Lehman consortium has begun to intimidate the US government to rescue the market. But Morgan and other consortiums obviously have no intention of rescuing the market.
Therefore, the core assets of the Lehman Group that we were originally eyeing will soon be mortgaged to the Bank of England. Yang Dongxu said calmly.
"Old Morgan will not give up, nor will he let Lehman Group mortgage its assets to the Bank of England so easily. Some members of the U.S. Department of Commerce have begun to propose proposals to prevent the loss of U.S. assets," Dean said.
When nothing happens, the United States and Europe are as close as each other, and tariffs are reduced or reduced for exchanges with each other. When there are things or interests, the United States is the United States and Europe is Europe.
Even if the UK is an important member of the European Union and has a brotherly relationship with the United States, your bank will not even think of taking a dime from me. Especially the money does not belong to the US government, but to the US consortium.
They would be damned if they watched Lehman Group mortgage its core assets to the Bank of England.
Your own money is absolutely not allowed to go into other people's pockets. It's civilized enough if you don't pay from your pocket. You still want to take my money?
"There is naturally no hope for the local business in the United States. Even if there is hope, it will be done by Jack Jr. and the Kennedy family. They will definitely not let this opportunity go.
The mortgage assets that the Bank of England can obtain can only be the overseas assets of the Lehman Group, and these are not a small amount. Or if it doesn’t work, splitting and packaging will work. "
"Lehman Group is definitely not willing to split up its core assets." Dean frowned.
If you go abroad and package up the overseas assets of the Lehman Group, you will still face great pressure from the Morgan Group, but this matter is not without room for maneuver.
After all, the Morgan consortium cannot dominate the world with one hand. The Spencer family also has its own strength, not to mention that there is William next to it. In the United States, there are also Jack and others who are helping to contain the Morgan consortium.
"He couldn't help but disagree. The American consortium has already pulled ashore all the so-called former Lehman brothers who fell into the water.
The drama of saving the younger brothers with less assets and less influence first, and finally grabbing the big brother, the Lehman Group, is coming to an end.
The Kennedy family has received news that Citibank has submitted an application to Congress. If there are no accidents, it will only take about a week at most.
The U.S. Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will jointly inject more than US$40 billion into Citibank.
At the same time, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are negotiating to guarantee $306 billion in debt under Citibank's name, including home mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans.
The Lehman consortium applied for tens of billions of bailout funds but failed to get it. Citibank also injected more than 40 billion US dollars in capital and provided a debt guarantee of 306 billion US dollars. Do you think the Lehman consortium can sit still? "
"Why are they still irritating the Lehman Group so much at this time?" Dean looked confused.
If we say that the insiders who arranged Morgan and other consortiums around Lehman Brothers are brought out one by one, they are giving the Lehman consortium hope that they will stop making trouble and fight back desperately, and then boil the frogs in warm water and eat the Lehman consortium. if.
So discussing capital injection and bailout of Citibank at this time is obviously adding fuel to the fire. It would be strange if the Lehman Group, which is not completely dead, doesn't jump up and fight for its life.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Dean looked at Yang Dongxu in disbelief, "What did you do?"
“It’s not really any tricks, it’s just that I used a little more strength when I did it. In addition to detonating the Lehman Group, I also did some work at Citibank.
The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is only so serious, and it is not just the fault of one consortium, Lehman Financial Group. It's that those consortiums are eating meat with evil intentions, and then they can't make up the shortfall, so they use the Lehman consortium as a scapegoat, and they also want to share this sheep.
We have been arranging this for so long, and I can detonate the mine of Lehman Group. Naturally, it is also capable of detonating the thunder of Citibank. You must know that Citibank's debt in real estate is no less than that of Lehman Group.
The so-called guarantee of more than 300 billion is estimated to be only half of his various debts in real estate. If they don't rescue the market quickly, when I detonate this mine, the assets will plummet rapidly, and it won't be just the Lehman Group.
Both you and I at Citibank know that they are the sons of the big conglomerate families behind them who are trying to get money for them. Naturally, they cannot let their own son be in danger, so now they can no longer control whether it will irritate the Lehman Group. They must protect their son first. "
Yang Dongxu smiled, but his tone remained calm.
But this kind of indifference made the hairs on Dean's back stand up, because he didn't know how many back-ups the man in front of him, who looked much younger than himself, had prepared.
Just when everyone in the outside world thought that Yang Dongxu was threatened by the Morgan consortium because of his power in the Middle East. When he had no choice but to break the jar and flip the table directly to detonate the landmine of Lehman Group.
No one thought that the young man in front of them would try to siege Wei and rescue Zhao, and dare to attack Citibank.
Although he didn't take action, he just pretended to attack. But it also made the Morgan Consortium and others instantly feel cold, because even if Yang Dongxu was allowed to take advantage of the position of the Lehman Consortium, they could not let anything happen to their own son Citibank.
Otherwise, it would be a real financial crisis, a financial crisis beyond their control. After all, the detonation of Lehman Group was just a big thunder. If Citibank was detonated, it would definitely be an atomic bomb.
Therefore, what Yang Dongxu did was not a conspiracy but a conspiracy to attack and save him. Even if they knew Yang Dongxu's purpose, they still had to arrange the capital injection and guarantee from Citibank in advance, and they didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
"What are we going to do next?" Dean quickly calmed down. Although he was still shocked, his expression had returned to calm.
Yang Dongxu glanced at Dean with appreciation. He was indeed the head of the Spencer family. This state of mind was not something ordinary people could have.
"Now that the Lehman consortium has been detonated, the global subprime mortgage crisis will also be triggered by us. I will continue to attack Citibank for involving the energy of Morgan and other consortiums.
What you have to do is to make every effort to harvest before the U.S. government's guarantee of Citibank's debt and capital injection procedures are completed.
How much you will gain from this confrontation depends on how much you can eat in these few days. The Kennedy family and Jack Jr. will do their best to delay the passage of this plan.
But you also know how powerful the consortium behind Citibank is, so you don’t have as much time to enjoy the feast as a week, maybe five days after that, or only three days. "
"Three days?" Dean's eyes flashed.
