Washington is the city with the most snowfall in the world, so it is called "Syracuse".

In the early morning of the next day, snowflakes were flying, and Washington seemed like a crystal clear fairy tale world. The fragrance of pine trees and the icy fragrance of white snow give people a kind of cool and refreshing comfort.

Everything is being filtered, everything is being sublimated, and people's hearts are also purified, becoming pure and beautiful.

Wearing black tight sportswear, a knitted hat, and gloves, Andy exhaled hot air, jogging on the snow-covered path, four bodyguards also wearing sports equipment scattered around jogging, eyes dead Staring at the reporters running around taking pictures.

The CEOs and chairmen of the first nine Wall Street financial giants to participate in the U.S. Treasury’s $700 billion bailout plan gathered on Capitol Hill and will be questioned by members of the U.S. Congress. The most concerned criticism meeting.

As the hottest star-level super-rich in the United States, Andy Smith has received attention. It has to be said that the reporters in Washington are really powerful. The news that Andy returned home last night has been captured by the reporters. I learned that as soon as I went out this morning, there were a large number of reporters squatting on the street in front of my house, even though it was freezing outside.

Andy ignored the yelling and questioning of these reporters. He listened to music with earphones, breathed in the cool air, finished his jogging, and returned home.

Watching the morning news being played on the TV, I was jogging in the snowflakes, and listening to the background introduction of the female news anchor.

"... the nine CEOs who will testify today include Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Dimon of MG Chase, Lewis of Bank of America, Pandit of Citibank, Kelly of BNY Mellon, Dow Logue of Wells Bank, Jimmy Mak of MG Stanley, Stamp of Wells Fargo and Andy Smith jogging in the picture. Before that, his Yingtai Bank and eight other banks received a total of 168 billion US dollars in federal funds. bailout funds."

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Although Andy was used to his frequent appearance in TV reports, the experience of watching his real-time reports was still a bit speechless.

"Okay, let's have breakfast, 7 hours of hearing, they must be crazy!"

Watching the news reports on the TV, Li Wanqing complained angrily, but facing the "semi-ritual" activities of the investigative hearings in Congress, there was no way to refuse to participate.

"Who asked me to reach out and take the money..."

Oston, who was already sitting at the dining table and reading the newspaper, looked up at the mother and son who walked in and were chatting.

curled his lips and said.

Andy shrugged, sat down at the dining table, and said very indifferently: "At the beginning, they forced the money to Yingtai Bank. We didn't lack that. If they want to use this to make a fuss , I'm afraid I'll embarrass them."

Auston looked at his rebellious son, shook his head helplessly and said: "The question that members of Congress are most concerned about is how you spent the huge amount of aid funds from the US government, and whether you used the money to pay Executive compensation, government lobbying or dividends to shareholders.

Especially your investment company and bank, last year's bonuses were too dazzling, which aroused many people's doubts. "

"If they want to question, they can question it. The economic crisis is not caused by me, and it has nothing to do with my employees. Not only before, but in the future I will continue to pay salaries in a "responsible and compliant" way to attract and Keep the top talent." Andy said with a sneer as he raised his eyebrows and looked at Auston.

"you--"

"Okay, let's eat! Let's save your strength and eloquence for the hearing later, what are you two at home?"

Li Wanqing was so angry that she directly blew her hair, stopped the daily bickering between the father and son, Andy laughed twice, and became a good baby in seconds, picked up the knife and fork and started to eat breakfast quietly, while Auston almost vomited blood, viciously Glaring at his son, he snorted and began to destroy the food.

Li Wanqing nodded in satisfaction, and after sitting down, served soup for the two of them respectively.

"...The eight CEOs seem to have been prepared for the possible situation in this year's hearing. The Big Eight did not board a private jet as in the past, but took private cars or public transportation to Washington.

Anticipating tough questions about compensation and fringe benefits, Dimon took the train to Washington and stayed overnight at the Park Hyatt, people familiar with the matter learned. He met Kelly at breakfast.

Blankfein and Mai Jinheng took a commercial flight, but Blankfein stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Pandit spent hours preparing for the hearing.

Only Andy Smith arrived in Washington in his private jet. His private jet was just delivered last year. The Boeing 747-vip series is the replacement model prepared by Boeing to replace the active Air Force One. The cost of the aircraft is as high as 200 million Many dollars. . . . . . "

The TV news broadcast made both Li Wanqing and Auston frown at Andy who also frowned, but with a sneer on his face. Li Wanqing said with some concern: "Currently the public is angry with the financial industry. Guiding public opinion, you should pay attention to it.”

"Well, mom, don't worry, they're just clowns. I can spend the money I earn by myself, but I won't let their instructive reports go!" Andy First she comforted Li Wanqing, then put down the knife and fork, wiped her mouth with the napkin, picked up the cell phone on the dining table, and made a call with a sneer.

"It's me. Immediately send a lawyer's letter to c-span TV to sue them. Their reports are obviously biased, and their leading reports have caused serious damage to my reputation..."

Seeing Andy making the arrangements swiftly and resolutely, Li Wanqing and Auston, who were a little worried before, looked at each other, shaking their heads and laughing. Even Auston, a senior barrister, was treated by his hedgehog son almost regardless of the cost. You know, this kind of lawsuit is very difficult to win, but it can make the c-span TV station, which is already on the street, worse.

Since the government injected capital into the nine largest banks, there has been little public awareness of how the banks spend the government bailout money, and banks were not initially required to disclose how they spent the money. Until recently, the American public was increasingly critical of Wall Street bankers after the media exposed the bank's multibillion-dollar bank bonus program, sponsorship of a major football game evening, and the bank's purchase of private jets.

Especially Andy Smith, who was already very dazzling, as the youngest super rich man in the world, his Yingtai Bank also received financial assistance, which made many interested people pay more attention to Yingtai Bank. Negative news has also been continuously exposed, such as triggering compensation agreements, creating homeless people, and issuing bonuses and benefits, which have also attracted a lot of doubts and accusations.

Muxiu in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!

This sentence applies to the whole world. You must know that not everyone treats the rise of Andy Smith with kindness. Andy also knows how many people are hiding in the dark to plot against him and wait for him. Make a mistake, there are no good people in the business world, and the real world is full of dangers!
