Chapter 421 Black Monday

New York Manhattan Upper East Side.

Ivana was wearing a white bathrobe, with her slightly wet long golden hair, and a pair of slender white legs sat cross-legged on the soft and wide sofa, holding a stack of newspapers with both hands, and sprinkling the bright sunshine shining on her through the floor-to-ceiling window, making this morning look warm and leisurely.

Andy was wearing a bathrobe and a white towel around her neck. She held her wet hair in her hand and sat down beside her. She looked at the newspaper and found that it was the first issue of her newspaper daily. "Dear, how do you think the content of the newspaper is?"

"Well... it's not bad, but the title of the front page headline is a bit terrifying, especially today, I think many people will feel it is fake news. My dad's interview was good, hehe, he will definitely show off again. After all, he has so many celebrities in the first issue of a daily newspaper with Mr. President."

Ivana showed Andy the newspaper with her father's photo and smiled happily.

Andy shrugged and said, "It was carefully considered that the real estate bubble bursting in the first issue today. Some people may not be convinced, or some may have realized this problem long ago. No matter what the situation is, tomorrow, when everyone wakes up in the morning, they will find that the whole world has changed."

Ivana turned her head slightly confused and looked at her boyfriend's handsome face with a slightly cold look, then looked down at the headlines of the newspaper in her hand, her pupils shrank, she turned her body suddenly, reached out to grab Andy's arm, and asked anxiously: "Is there something big going to happen tomorrow?"

Andy looked down at the front of the bathrobe, and a proud white and round peak came into his eyes. He couldn't help but smash his lower lip, spread his hands and said, "The dominoes that have collapsed will usher in the first critical node, and then..."

Ivana looked at her boyfriend's plain expression of "you imagine it yourself" with a worried face, and smiled bitterly, "Why do I feel like you really hope the real estate collapses... Wait, you didn't buy CDO insurance?"

Andy smiled into crescent eyes, reached out to pinch her pink cheeks, and laughed, "What a smart woman."

"Hmph! No wonder we always look like we are afraid that the world will be in chaos. Our group will suffer huge losses... How much have you bought?" Ivana pouted her red lips, snorted coldly, turned over and straddled Andy's legs, stretched out her jade hand and squeezed Andy's cheeks hard, causing his face to change shape.

"Woo, all... worth, one billion..." Andy received a call from Alvetre when he woke up in the morning. The latest news is that New Century Finance Company has been forced to pay $17.4 billion on Wall Street this morning. If today is not a weekend and the government departments are not working, today will be the day for them to announce their bankruptcy protection. However, this time seems to be delayed until tomorrow.

"What? God..." Ivanami's eyes widened, her mouth widened, and she looked at Andy, whose face was squeezed to deformity by her, as if she was stuck, and it was frozen on the spot.

Gudong.

Ivana swallowed in disbelief, her lips trembled slightly, "Crazy... Dear, are you crazy? Shorting mortgage securities..."

It seemed that I had reacted, the real estate bubble burst and the bonds turned into garbage. Seeing Andy squeezing at him and raising his eyebrows, a scream suddenly rang out in the living room.

"Oh God, bo, god, bo..." Ivana looked ecstatic and kept kissing while shouting God.

"It's so crazy, my dear, it's so crazy! Oh my God, my God..." Ivana lost her complexion, her face flushed and excitedly hugged Andy's face tightly in her arms, almost like she was suffocating Andy to death with her proud surround.

Ivana is not a financial novices. She graduated from Wharton Business School and is very professional in finance. She is also very familiar with it. She knows very well what Andy’s gamble represents. The profits of several times or even dozens of times make her, a rich daughter, unable to calm down. It was a gamble of one billion dollars, and she felt that she was almost high~! Chao.

"Dear, carry me back to bed..."

Andy looked at Ivana, who was filled with water in her eyes, held her up without hesitation, stood up from the sofa, and chuckled, "You little sao..."

The bedroom door was closed again, and Andy's teasing sound could be heard, "Tsk tsk, it's all like this..."

No wonder some people say that power and money are the best burners. Even people like Ivana who are born with a golden spoon in their mouths cannot face billions of dollars in peace.

Andy and Ivana, who had already begun to look forward to the collapse of real estate as soon as possible, began a shameless world of two people.

The outside world does not seem to have caused much trouble because of the report of the new newspaper "World Observer", but some people who know the inside story and detect the real estate crisis have begun to verify some of the data in the report in a purposeful manner.

As for the American real estate developers at the center of the storm, they jumped and cursed and reported alarmist reports while borrowing funds everywhere to alleviate the difficulties.

Of course, it is a new newspaper after all, and its authority and influence are more than a little less.

Until early Monday morning, April 2, as the steel city woke up and people were about to start a busy week, the New York Observer Weekly, which had 4 million subscriptions and the News Weekly, which had 4 million subscription sales, was delivered to thousands of households.

Readers are all attracted by the cold black cover and the judgement-filled title.

On the dining table this morning, everyone frowned in a strange way, and all kinds of worries shrouded people's hearts.

"Dominoes that begin to collapse are in-depth coverage of the U.S. real estate bubble. Newsweek"

"The Broken Bubble, the Dead Struggle Before the Doomsday of Real Estate! "New York Observer"

It seems that the bright sunshine over New York did not bring people a good mood this spring morning, but instead made the deep worries and gratitude on many people's faces more obvious.

The reports of the two weekly magazines are not comparable to those of a new newspaper. A large amount of data, analysis by industry insiders, and the bleak photos of the overgrown grass in various places and empty buildings all convey a message to readers, that is, the real estate output problem in the United States, and it is a big problem.

Readers who have a house in their hands paying off their loans have already felt that the loan interest rate that has been rapidly raised over a year and a half has made them complain.

Real estate speculators have long been unable to sell the squeezed properties. They have already paid the down payments of other properties after the money they made before. The numerous bank letters in their hands make it difficult for them to face.

The dressmaker has moved out of her new house and returned to the stage. All the people in the lower class who were able to buy a house with loans had long since fled to new houses where they could receive payment bills and were left on the streets again. More low-paying people with dreams have their dreams broken and they are homeless.

No picture and no truth!

The empty new housing block is filled with homeless people and stray dogs, and it is a ghost town, full of banks. The wooden signs for sale in this house are green algae swimming pools, even outdoor swimming pools with crocodiles, lawns and gardens...

Everyone is showing everyone a fact that the real estate boom that has lasted for many years has ended!

Of course, there are always people who are unwilling to give in. There is never a shortage of people who don’t want to face reality. Andy watched the real estate experts invited by major TV stations make a big splash on TV, and was still advocating that there has never been a collapse in the US real estate industry, but the market has only been short-term adjustments.

Some people even pointed their finger at two weekly magazines and Andy, and they were alarmist and irresponsible. Some people even took out the fund company under Andy's name to short CDS and attacked Andy for bad intentions.

When the farce became more and more lively and the TV shows became more and more gunpowder, at 10 a.m. New York time, all news and TV programs received breaking news interruptions.

"According to the news just obtained, New Century Finance, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on April 2, 2007 that it filed for bankruptcy protection and decided to cut 54% of its employees..."

It was like a duck who was suddenly strangled to his neck. The previous rattle made him look pale and powerless. Experts looked dull, their expressions were frightened, their faces turned red, and the dead duck opened his mouth stubbornly, but they couldn't say a word.
Chapter completed!
