Chapter 1170 Whoever Has Cash Is God!

While the Olympic Games in Beijing are in full swing and wonderful performances are being staged, the entire Wall Street is still shrouded in the cloud of financial crisis. The former financial giants are struggling with how to survive this financial crisis.

Although Paulson and Bernanke have repeatedly emphasized that the current credit crisis is the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression, if actions are not taken as soon as possible, the market situation may further deteriorate and the consequences will be very serious. But conservative forces still raised objections to such a large spending plan and extensive intervention in the private market.

During the presidential election, Paulson must keep in touch with the two presidential candidates, O'Hai Niu and McCain, because if any of them were to oppose the measures taken by Congress, it would lead to an extreme crisis in the US economy and the world economy. in great distress.

Ao Hei Niu is very concerned about an issue, often communicates and communicates with Paulson and the Ministry of Finance, and surprisingly supports the measures taken by Paulson. On the contrary, McCain, who is also an elephant party like President Slippers, has exactly the opposite principle, and he feels that these measures are unpopular, so every communication between Paulson and him is very difficult.

Moreover, the conflict between the two parties is becoming more and more fierce. If Paulson wants to introduce a truly decisive rescue plan, then Paulson must convince everyone, and this, he cannot do it alone, and the olive branch thrown by Andy is Undoubtedly, it hit his weakness. Even if the other party wanted to put people into the rescue team of the city government, he had no choice but to agree.

As for whether Andy has the ability to help him, he has no doubts at all, because at the next lunch table, Old Smith gave great affirmation to his rescue work, and Old Smith is undoubtedly the biggest elephant in the party. leader of the conservative forces.

Andy's think tank headed by Vulcan Alvetrie, whom Paulson valued, brought him a huge surprise.

When the lunch was over, he met Alvitlie and expressed his idea of ​​putting the "two rooms" under the receivership procedure. After getting Andy's nod and confirmation, Al gave his suggestion without the slightest hesitation .

"Immediately have FHFA send a letter to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac declaring that the report they had previously filed to demonstrate their capital adequacy is temporarily invalid, and FHFA will re-examine their capital adequacy ratios . . . "

Listening to Alvetrie's calm face, but the cold and murderous suggestion in his tone, Paulson's eyes suddenly lit up. This undoubtedly completely pushes the legal basis of the two parties. Although the method is a bit violent, but for the It's perfect for the cheeky couple who want to kidnap Washington.

"...Complete the semi-annual review report on the two companies in the most severe terms, analyze the capital and management deficiencies of the two companies in detail, and point out all the places where they have not made rectifications as required. Talk to the current management and the board of directors, Force them to agree to the takeover plan, and then, replace the current CEOs of the two companies, conduct a full takeover, reduce their huge investment portfolios, and stipulate that they are no longer allowed to lobby the government... and finally complete nationalization!"

Listening to Alvetrie's overall plan full of murderous intent, Paulson really felt chills on the back of his neck and chills in his heart. This is really ruthless and decisive, and he can be directly crushed by the general trend.

Glancing at Andy Smith, who was somewhat of an old god, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what kind of boss really has what kind of character, and what kind of subordinates.

Paulson knew that this matter still needed some detailed preparations, but the Alvetrie's suggestion in front of him was undoubtedly a more feasible solution than what he, the Ministry of Finance, and his staff could think of at present.

"Mr. Vitley, I formally invite you to join the White House Financial Rescue Task Force."

Looking at Paulson's outstretched hand, Alvitley glanced at Andy who was smiling, and after Andy nodded with a smile, Al showed a slight smile on his face, stretched out his hand to hold the other's hand and said: " It's my honor!"

"All right,

I lent it to you, did you sign the consulting agreement with our Gaia company on behalf of the Ministry of Finance? Andy said with a smile, looking at Paulson with a smile on his face.

Hearing what Andy said, Paulson, who was feeling a little relieved, almost sprayed his old blood on Andy's face, and said to Andy dumbfounded: "You can also like that money?"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Besides, some things are more reliable in black and white, what do you think!" Andy doesn't think that hundreds of thousands is a small number, and more importantly, this agreement can become something to some extent. As a shield, it will not be settled by Qiuhou.

We must know that after the financial crisis passed, almost all the parties who benefited from this crisis have been included in the investigation list, and they will be called by the investigation team formed by Congress to complete the hearing. He profited from this crisis, but was questioned and suspected. Of course, this guy got the amnesty document from Congress and the White House early, so he was only criticized but not investigated. Even so, he participated in many This hearing, to explain some decisions, Andy, how could it be possible not to prepare more shields.

Suddenly, Paulson shook his head and took the folder that Alvetrie handed him with a smile, opened it and looked at it. After confirming that there was no problem, he took the pen from Andy, sighed, and signed on the document. on the name.

. . . . . .

Watching the back of Paulson leaving, Andy stood in front of the big red door of Haizi Academy, and smiled at Al beside him: "In the next few months, you will need to fly back and forth between Washington and New York."

Al smiled indifferently and said: "It is worthwhile to be able to participate in the decision-making, and Paulson has too much power now. If you use it well, boss, you can get more in this bailout." Goldman Sachs cannot enjoy all the benefits.”

"Hehe..." The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, with a smug expression on his face, as he walked into the house, he asked Budstone, who had been silent by his side, "How is Lehman going? "

"We are now preparing for the end, and we will withdraw from the market step by step. This time, Goldman Sachs' shorting of Lehman is too obvious, and it is suspected of manipulating the market. According to the data, Lehman is already in jeopardy, and the difficulties it faces are beyond imagination. , due to the impairment of residential and commercial real estate assets, it is expected that Lehman Brothers will have a loss of US$3-4 billion in the third quarter. What is worse is that they have very little cash flow left. If the government does not take action, it will face It can only be absorbed, spun off, or bankrupted."

"Hehe, wait for the government to rescue?" Andy couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head and asked back, and said leisurely: "If the two houses are taken over and funded for rescue, do you think ordinary people, Congress and the two parties will agree to sacrifice Nashui people? benefit to carry out rescue operations?

Unemployment is high, the economy is clearly deteriorating, hehe, no politician wants to stand against the rising democrats. It's election year! "

Al and Bud looked at each other, and they both saw a gleam in each other's eyes. They followed Andy silently, and walked back to the extremely cool, simple and elegant Chinese-style study.

"What's the profit of shorting Lehman this time?" Andy sat on Huanghuali's armchair and asked with a relaxed smile.

"The current income is 620 million U.S. dollars, which may fluctuate due to the gradual decline in withdrawal."

Hearing the figures given by Bardstone, Andy couldn't help but chuckled: "Sure enough, the financial market is the fastest way to get money. No wonder everyone is unwilling to engage in business, and they all plunged into Wall Street."

The exclamation of the big boss made both Al and Bardstone laugh. They naturally knew that although the young boss in front of him said so, he knew from his layout that he was not very interested in Wall Street. It is the favor of the boss of the industry.

"Prepare more cash. The next few months will be the best time to pick up bargains. Taking advantage of the opportunities brought about by the chaos to maximize profits will be our next most important task. Whoever has cash in hand will be Who is God!" Andy smiled happily, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
