Chapter 999 The carnival continues
March 21, an important festival in the Western world, Easter.
Due to Easter, the financial markets in major European and American markets are closed today. Financial institutions and investors who have "lived like a year" due to the subprime mortgage storm can finally calm down and have a worry-free weekend.
However, for policymakers like Fed Chairman Bernanke and ECB President Trichet, the holiday may not be very comfortable.
Just yesterday, facing the once again high money market lending rates, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, etc., took action again, sending a lot of dollars, euros or pounds to the financial markets.
Statistics from think tanks also show that as the Federal Reserve expands the scope of discount window loans this week, various financial institutions are no longer "reserved", but instead have been shameless in borrowing funds from the Federal Reserve to rescue emergency measures.
Andy was very happy about this news because several short-selling target companies received funds from the Fed, so that Andy could hedge them with confidence and not make them messy and cause unpredictable out of control.
Major central banks in Europe and the United States all thought of giving the market "festival red envelopes". The main reason was that they were scared by the sudden death tragedy like Bear Stearns.
However, such a generous rescue of the market cannot prevent the "tragedy". This week, not only did the tragic Bear Stearns, but also many large financial institutions were in a dilemma of fund shortage or disclosed more subprime mortgage-related losses.
Andy looked at the results email sent by the London company, and his already extremely comfortable mood became brighter and brighter.
At 8:30 am the day before yesterday, there were rumors that the largest mortgage lender in the UK, Scotland, had a shortage of funds and had applied for billions of pounds of emergency loans from the Bank of England, and may repeat the mistakes of Northon Rock Bank, which was suffering a run...
Less than an hour after the opening, the stock price plummeted by 18%. By the close, the decline narrowed slightly, but it still reached 7.1%, and the market value evaporated by about 1 billion pounds throughout the day.
Although the Bank of England subsequently issued a statement calling this a rumor, the Bank of England urgently convened a meeting with major British banking institutions. The Bank of England is highly concerned about the huge changes in the market.
Does the method look familiar? And the method is simply terrifying, but this simple method is the most deadly. Andy has been criticized as a political messenger, and a group of bastards in Gaia are typical financial messengers. They are already 13-sided for rewarding generous profits, and they can use any despicable tricks.
If the Bank of England knew that Andy was making trouble, Andy would definitely be the most unpopular American. However, Andy's bastards also knew that they could not blatantly attract the big boss. Anyway, they would send the news and just go to a restaurant where reporters often hang out to chat, or accidentally drop a file or something, and the news would spread.
No matter what, seeing more than 200 million pounds on his books, he naturally couldn't disappoint his bastards. Andy was so happy that he quickly wrote a reward email. After clicking to send, he heard footsteps behind him, turned off his laptop, looked back at a black halter on his upper body, a beach skirt with a blue background and a white pattern on his beach dress. After dressing up, he rolled his eyes and said, "Little Sao, you are going to go out like this..."
Lima heard Andy’s complaints and angrily stretched out her middle finger at Andy, “I’ve stuck it, I can’t tell at all…”
As he said that, he also held her up with both hands and held her upwards, looking as generous as you can see, making Andy cover half of her face with a black line, "You won!"
For safety consultants who want to take the big boss to go out for a particularly important festival in Jamaica, it can be described as if they are facing a great enemy.
The 12 bodyguards are fully armed and stand on standby. Jamaica's social security has been poor for a long time, and the violent death rate ranks among the top in the world. The number of murderers ranks first in the world. There is no need to be surprised to see three murders in a newspaper every day. This is not a special day in Jamaica. The country has more than 1,000 murders every year. In 2007, more than 1,600 murders.
Kingston, as the center, kills and robs and steals are as common as eating and drinking water every day.
The main reason for the high crime rate is that more than 85% of the children in the country are illegitimate children, and more than 50% of children do not have their father's name when they are born.
Someone once wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, asking to issue a license to the guys in Jamaican men. Tsk, black buddy... Alas, they are all Teddy walking upright!
Andy deliberately kept a big beard with a trimmed shit and a pair of sunglasses. The disguise effect was very good. After all, most of his photos were the kind of handsome and uncensored effects that were not as good as those who had never been repaired by friends. There were really no beards. Besides, in Jamaica, there were no people who knew him.
It is the annual Jamaica Carnival, from beach parties to street parades, from weekly camouflage camps to Friday carnival nights, from breakfast garden parties to food feasts…
Putting Kingston in a state of madness, Jamaicans show all visitors the passion of the Caribbean in their unique way.
Lima, wearing a white lady's mask, was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the carnival.
"Although it's not as grand as our Brazilian carnival, I like this atmosphere. Oh my god, I like these feathers, my dear, look, are they beautiful?"
Andy watched Lima put a pair of colorful feather headdresses on his head, and smiled happily and showed it to him.
"Incomparable, mainly because of the beauty of human beings!" Andy reached out to wrap her waist, and the crowded crowd was isolated by Kenny and the others in a circle and a half-way position. His nerves were tight and his eyes were observed around him like a falcon.
Music performances are endless, reggae, Soka, Kalypso... Andy was pulled into the person who moved with the music by Lima who was laughing so happily.
The sun shines on your shoulders and fragrant sweat drips from your forehead. Lima and Andy learn from various unique children in Jamaica, which are not suitable for dance moves like animal courtships, dancing happily on the noisy streets without any worries and being happy.
Andy and Lima were haunted by thousands of songs, staring at each other's eyes, and the passionate passion among the crowd became part of this carnival celebration.
"Great, I love this place..." Lima had already taken off the lady's mask from her face excitedly, and jumped on Andy's back with a brilliant smile, holding her hands high and cheering.
