Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Fourth I am a foolish rich man who has been tricked!

Wearing a white dress with a black lace round neckline and a dark blue symmetrical large flower pattern on the chest and waist, the proud upper circumference makes the entire flower pattern look three-dimensional.

A pair of tall long legs were wrapped in a pair of black stockings, her golden hair was tied high above her head, and a camel-colored windbreaker in her arms. She stepped down the steps with her seven-quarter high heels, and walked quickly towards Andy who had been waiting on the roadside for a long time.

"Dear, how are you doing today?" Ivana and Andy kissed each other in person. After getting in the car, they held Andy's arm and asked with concern.

Andy shook his head and laughed, and said relaxedly: "Don't worry, you're just struggling. You are a land business. You should be very clear about the current situation of the real estate market. Even if they cover it up, it will be futile. The people have not had any pain yet. After all, the areas of housing speculation are too scattered, and the problems in one or two areas still make them feel the seriousness of the problem."

Ivana listened to Andy's confident and calm analysis, combined with the information she collected and the troubles encountered by the CP group, and understood that her husband's analysis was undoubtedly correct.

"Then why does the price of mbs rise instead of falling?" Ivana frowned and asked worriedly.

"Haha, if it doesn't rise, why do anyone take over the garbage in the hands of those bigwigs who are eager to blame? Are there always people blinded by greed? Look at the Fed Chairman Bernanke who stood up and shouted that there has never been a history of collapse in US real estate? The American people are very optimistic."

Andy chuckled, but the sarcastic meaning of the smile on her face was really obvious. However, Ivana was still very depressed about some of the media criticisms Andy had received over the past few days, but she found that her own man was just like watching a group of clowns jumping around, and she didn't care at all, and she didn't even mean to refute.

"Dear, what are we eating today?" Ivana looked at the scene outside the car window and asked softly.

"I have opened a new restaurant. I heard that the French cuisine is good. Let's try it tonight, not far ahead." Andy patted her jade hand. To be honest, if she hadn't been with her for the past period of time, she would have worked harder. Andy had seen her memo, which almost only gave her four hours of rest.

Andy was confused at the time and knew that she was a strong woman, so there was no need to be so strong! In less than ten days, she had already flew three times, flew around, attended business meetings, and inspected company projects.

Every time Andy saw her dragging her tired body back home, she had no time to make out. Once, while the two were in the bathtub, they fell asleep in his arms.

Well, Andy didn't fly and she couldn't do anything. After all, there was a lioness on Long Island. However, two days ago, Lima, the lioness, also flew to Miami to shoot picture albums for Victoria's Secret.

Sitting in the restaurant, Andy frowned slightly at Ivana, whose skin was slightly dim, and said with distress: "I said, you don't have to work so hard, you still have to fly the day after tomorrow?"

"There's no choice, I can only go to Palm Beach in person. My dad is busy recording the show, and "Apprentice" will be aired in May..."

"To be honest, I really regret handing over that variety show to Mr. CP now." Andy was very upset about this, and P Damn is too unreliable.

"My dad wants me to be the permanent consultant of the show..." Ivana stuck out her tongue and looked at Andy with a pitiful look.

Andy suddenly reached out to cover her face, looking desperate.

Just as the two were enjoying the world of two, a middle-aged man who had just sat down with his friend was not long after seeing Andy and Ivana, and he couldn't help but show his confusion. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked over.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, Mr. Smith, I am Ke Sai, senior financial consultant at Goldman Sachs. I'm taking the liberty to bother you. Can you talk to you?"

Andy looked at the middle-aged man who was stopped by the bodyguard and looked at the other person with a cold expression, not wanting to pay attention to such an irresponsible stranger.

However, when Ivana heard the other party's identity, she couldn't help but become interested. After all, her boyfriend bets all his value on this subprime mortgage crisis. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, as three famous investment banks, may be able to get some useful information.

Ivana signaled her boyfriend, and Andy didn't want this man's impolite behavior to attract attention in the restaurant.

Waving his hand, the bodyguard sat at his seat, quietly waiting for the big meal, and always alerted that Ke Sai, a middle-aged man with a big back and a suit and tie, was sorry again and again. He also knew that his behavior was very annoying. However, out of professional instinct and curiosity, and also alert to the kind of CDO risks developed by their company, he really wanted to talk to Andy, a billionaire who also chose to short subprime mortgage bonds.

But the fact that he had an unfavorable identity from other people, Andy had met with the gray twice in a row. If it weren't for the elegant and beautiful Miss Ivana, he would probably not be able to get close to the other party at all.

Ke Sai's correct attitude, praise and thanks to Ivana, made Andy no longer look cold. Fortunately, the big meal had not started yet, otherwise Andy wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.

Although Ke Sai is also a person who does not think that real estate will collapse, whether it is the supply cut-off problem in several regions or the practice of shorting the housing market and subprime loan bonds, it aroused his vigilance.

Andy also knew why this person met him, but wanted to know what basis for his short selling, so as to weigh whether there were huge risks in the betting agreement with Michael Bry.

Andy didn't mean to him at all. Ke Sai was embarrassed to ask directly, and Andy chose to play the puzzle, pretending to be stupid and wanted to run away.

However, the other party is indeed thick-skinned. When he saw that he would continue to be like this, he would leave even if he was shameless when the dishes came up, so he had to showdown: "Our Goldman Sachs and many other customers have the opposite view of you, believing that the US housing market has only experienced a brief decline and there is no possibility of a collapse. As for New Century Company, it is also a bankruptcy protection application caused by its own debt problems."

After hearing this, Andy immediately clapped his hands gently and praised, "I'm so right!" Then he said with regret, "You don't know, I regret it now, my investment team is still too trash. How can I catch up with a professional investment bank like you, especially Goldman Sachs, who is as awesome as you..."

Then Andy didn't give Ke Sai a chance to interrupt, looking like a fool and rich man cheated by the investment team, and started to complain, hoping that Ke Sai would help him pay attention. It was not until the waiter started serving the dishes that Ke Sai was embarrassed and sorry to leave again.

Ivana's lips twitched a few times, and saw her boyfriend's faint sarcastic face, then she saw him take out the phone, nuggeted at her, and started dialing.

"Hey, it's me, how much more liquidity I need now... I'm less, so I'll notify the Bank of America tomorrow that I'll use a personal credit loan of $100 million. Yes, all of it are used to buy Goldman Sachs' cdo gambling insurance. Yes, you heard it right, these idiots are still selling now, haha, okay, I'll bother you to have dinner..."

Ivana held a knife and fork in her hand, her red lips widened, and she looked at herself in a daze, raising her eyebrows, as if everything was silent.

Andy knew that before the three major rating agencies lowered the ratings of subprime mortgage bonds, before the stock market's high pullback caused investors' panic, there was still at least two months of recovery period. Perhaps it was the market's slow and numb reaction or the final madness. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone did it on purpose. During this period, the stock market will continue to rise, mbs bonds will not fall, and most people will still believe that US real estate will not collapse.

However, these are not what Andy cares about. The next morning, Andy showed up at Bank of America with someone and quickly took away a check of 100 million US dollars. Before he could catch up, he turned a corner and went to Goldman Sachs Investment Company. With the surprise and secret joy of the investment manager, he bought a $100 million CDO gambling insurance.

When Goldman Sachs' senior financial adviser Ke Sai learned the news, he almost fainted from anger and vomited blood. Without saying a word, he hurried to meet his boss. However, Goldman Sachs' internal struggle was a big Qing palace drama, and all parties were hindered. It was not until June that it finally terminated its sales of CDO insurance business, but it was too late at that time.
