It is hopeless that at the end of the day, neither Bank of America nor Barclays showed further interest in the transaction, nor the government had the right to inject capital. Lehman had only the last $2 billion in cash, and if there was no solution on the weekend, the rest of next Monday would be a body.

All the bigwigs in the Fed know that Bank of America, the selected acquirer, has never had any interest in Lehman from beginning to end, and they are flirting with Merrill Lynch.

However, what makes everyone laugh is that although Merrill Lynch tried hard to arouse interest in M&A Bank, she also concealed it. It seemed that she was really waiting for the word "大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大�

Paulson and Geithner understood that only the British were interested in acquiring Lehman. To be on the safe side, Andy, who was standing in front of the elevator with a stretched belt, was stopped by Paulson's chief of staff, and looked at the time and frowned and said, "It's 10:30, I won't sleep anymore. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Hamilton stepped forward with a wry smile. After muttering a few times in Andy's ear, Andy rolled her eyes and said to Al beside her: "Let's go, go over and take a look. Let's go back and rest first..."

Under Hamilton's guidance, Andy and Al walked into the conference room and saw the four people present, Paulson, Geithner, Lehman Ceo Ford and Warren Buffett. After greeting the four people with a calm expression, they sat down.

Listening to Paulson and Geithner's sincere words, I hope they can invest in Lehman. The arrogant Fade also looked sad. Every word is touching and every sentence is urging to people's begging. Buffett and Andy looked at each other at the same time, and both saw the meaning of fraud and defense in each other's eyes.

Both of them were very coveted by some of Lehman's businesses and assets, but no one wanted to speak first. For a moment, the conference room fell into silence.

The first to break the silence was Foulder, who had been extremely anxious, but the price he offered made Andy and Buffett lose interest in continuing to talk.

$42 billion! Lehman takes home...

Andy wanted to sneer and sarcastically at him, but now is not the time to enjoy it for a while. If you want to get benefits, you still need the three people in front of you to open the door of convenience.

"21 billion, if I agree, I will inject capital, but I need to use some assets and business as collateral..."

The shameless Buffett started to speak Balabara. The lion spoke loudly and praised him. Damn, what preferred stocks are? The requirements made are so harsh. Just look at Fold's dark face and you can understand the ruthlessness of the old hooligan Buffett.

Andy always looked calmly and calmly as he watched the old gangster kill Lehman with a knife. He had no idea of ​​annexing the entire Lehman, so he naturally would not give up any harsh conditions to make people bored.

"Mr. Smith, where are you?" Geithner asked involuntarily when he saw that Ford and Buffett were about to break down, hoping to ease the tension.

Andy shrugged and said helplessly: "I can't eat it, I can't afford that much money..."

"We the Federal Reserve is willing to guarantee you..."

Andy rolled her eyes and looked at Geithner with a squint, saying lightly: "I can't sleep if I have too much debt!"

"Ahem..."

Several people in the conference room were criticized by Andy's words and coughed slightly. Then Andy looked like he was not attentive to himself, and he stopped talking, and did not ask him to wait for long. After 10 minutes, the talk was completely broken. Andy shrugged and greeted him, stood up and patted Pigu and walked out of the conference room first.

After taking Al downstairs, Andy said to Al: "Get into my car, don't rush to leave..."

Al narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded, and sat in the spacious SUV with Andy. Without waiting for a long time, he saw the tall but exhausted Ford appear at the entrance of the building with his people.

"Kenny, go and invite Mr. Ford over and say I have something to talk to him."

Kenny nodded, then opened the car door and walked up quickly. Through the window, Andy saw Ford's gaze coming and lowered the window. Andy smiled and waved, and then Ford walked over quickly and got into the car.

"Andy, tell me what you want!"

Andy was not upset by Fold's direct and stiff words, but said with a smile: "I heard that there is only $2 billion in cash on your account? I wonder if you have any idea of ​​selling some real estate to get through the difficulties for the time being?"

Ford smiled self-deprecatingly, then frowned and said, "Please continue."

"Haha, 1 billion cash is paid in one lump sum, I will buy the 13 buildings you have!"

Ford's face turned pale and his eyes were cold to look at Andy with a faint smile, and almost gritted his teeth and said, "They have a market value of 4.2 billion!"

"That was 2006, now it's 2008, Ford, one time and another, with this one billion, maybe you can hold on for a while, maybe it will really turn around. What Lehman needs most now is the time to persevere, what do you think?"

"Impossible! You are blackmailing. Even if we mortgage loans to the bank, there is more than that little money..."

"Haha, is that right? Will there be a bank that will lend you Lehman?" Andy leaned against the seat of the car, his lips slightly raised, and he said with a sneer, his eyes emitting sharp gazes.

"Fold, don't deceive yourself. The whole world is waiting for the moment when you fall. Once Lehmann announces bankruptcy, Wall Street, Europeans, and footbaths financial companies will swarm like vultures when they see the fallen corpse, snatching the assets of various useful "parts and organs" on Lehmann's corpse at a much lower price than the original price.

You are counting on Paulson and the Federal Reserve to save you, haha, do you think you are Goldman Sachs or MG Stanley? You Lehman, a grassroots nouveau riche, want to be treated as a descendant of aristocratic descendants, you are overthinking!"

Ford's eyes were wide open, and his anger made his face turn red, his fists clenched, and his lips trembled slightly. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him who seemed cruel and cruel at this moment, he wanted to pounce on him and punch him twice.

"call--"

Folder was like a deflated ball, his spirit seemed to be pulled away all of a sudden. He smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Although it is cruel, you are the only one who told the truth. They wish Lehman would go bankrupt immediately... Ridiculously, the board of directors was still trying to save the opponents who were already trying to kill him..."

As he said that, Ford opened the car door and walked out of the car with a hunched over. Andy just narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not call him again, waiting silently.

After taking a step, Ford, his face looked extremely pale under the street lights with complex expressions that appeared to be extremely pale under the street lights. He looked back at Andy who was lowering the car window and silently staring at him, and said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow is 8:30 tomorrow morning, it will expire..."

"drive!"

Andy's lips curled up, and as the car window rose, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. Al, who was beside him, just took off his glasses, slowly wiped it with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "Boss, is it a bit too early for us to take action now? When they go bankrupt and liquidate, it may be cheaper."

"I only like these 13 commercial buildings worth 40 billion yuan, and I don't want the others. The key is that these 13 buildings are concentrated in four cities, London, Berlin, New York, and San Francisco. Haha, when the bankruptcy liquidation is over, do you think the bankruptcy consulting company will be divided into separate sales to me?

Those vultures will not give up the opportunity to earn high commissions, so the opportunity is rare. Tomorrow you will do this in person and buy it in the name of Gaia!" Andy looked at Al and ordered.
