Chapter 455: Beware of the temptation of propaganda
In recent days, Bernanke has commented that "the credit quality in March and April has improved overall", and CNBC is full of bull market signals.
The mainstream voices on Wall Street have been repeating the hard words of the subprime mortgage market. Bear Stearns and Lehman, the most famous companies later, have performed the most actively! Behind the appearance of stability and sustainable development, is the steady decline of the subprime mortgage price index.
"Boss, in April, Morgan Stanley suddenly closed the floodgates of subprime mortgage CDS short trading, and at the same time increased the bulls' advocacy! We have reason to believe that the senior members of Wall Street are aware of the crisis and tightened their wallets. Their sudden turn is undoubtedly a manipulation of the market, hoping to try to cash in on the chips and reduce losses before the crisis breaks out completely."
Alvetre is ready to leave Las Vegas and fly to San Francisco to meet Andy. Before boarding the plane, he received a call from New York.
The latest news is that the first person to truly develop subprime mortgage CDS, Morgan Stanley's star bond trader Howe Schuber, a big liar who cheated his parent company to death, is bargaining with Morgan Stanley, threatening to resign and seek higher dividends.
It was this person who helped Morgan Stanley sell a total of US$16 billion in this type of CDS product from September 2006 to January 2007! What he left was a huge loss of US$9 billion, which was also the largest single transaction loss in Wall Street's history at that time!
Andy frowned, holding the microphone in his right hand, and tapped his left finger on the boss's chair's armrest. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Ah, if you have any suggestions, you just want to say it. As the chief consultant of the think tank, I don't want you to keep it."
"...Boss, I suggest contacting Morgan Stanley, negotiating and asking them to pay for the betting agreement we have in hand. I'm worried that they will go bankrupt!"...
Andy turned off the phone and fell into deep thought. A bet of 600 million US dollars, a profit of 1,200%, and a profit of 7.2 billion US dollars. Will Morgan Stanley really be happy and fulfill the bet agreement obediently?
A few hours later, Alvetre brought four people from a think tank to Andy's office and gave Andy a detailed report on what he saw and heard on Wall Street, New York and Las Vegas.
"You go back to New York to stare. We are now sure to win. Don't worry, Al, do you believe it? In fact, many people on Wall Street are staring at us, or staring at the chips in our hands! I will handle the chores as soon as possible and rush back to New York to stay in charge. I think it's time to meet those big names on Wall Street!"
Since Andy already had an idea, he would not drag on it. After Alvetle and the others left, he picked up the phone and called his grandfather, Smith.
"Andy, is it really as serious as you said?"
When Andy heard the old man's heavy and skeptical tone, he rolled his eyes helplessly. Even now, the US government and most people still do not believe in the outbreak of the economic crisis brought about by subprime mortgages.
"Grandpa, it will be very serious. First, the real estate collapse will be collapsed, and then the subprime mortgage market will be destroyed. Then the banking industry will be severely damaged by the US economy. Most countries around the world have purchased US bonds or some bond products, which will be affected. A global economic crisis that has spread from the United States is about to come!"
Old Smith's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, his face turned gloomy, his eyes flashed, he picked up the cigar on the ashtray and sucked a few times before speaking: "When you arrive in New York, I will send someone to help you. After all, the interests involved this time are a bit big, and if it is really as serious as you said, I hope you can escape from this feast as soon as possible with your interests. Public opinion under the economic crisis is sometimes unimaginable and controllable. You are too young and have a long way to go, and reputation still needs to be considered."
"Haha, grandpa, I don't care about that much. If the opponents are willing to admit defeat and let me get what I deserve, I will naturally stop when I see you. But how could those greedy guys on Wall Street admit defeat? Even in the face of economic crisis and the verge of bankruptcy, they will kidnap the government and ask the government to pay for them, otherwise the US economy will completely collapse!"
Faced with huge benefits, Andy would not let go easily. Damn, this is billions of dollars, and the fractions he erased during negotiations are enough for him to buy a luxury yacht.
"They think very beautifully, but when it comes to that point, they are not the ones who have the final say, Humph! The government takes over, punitive packaging and low-price mergers, we have some means to deal with this group of vampires. I will start preparing. I think there will be some garbage investment in the family fund, and we have to remove it. By the way, what suggestions do you have to avoid products?"
"gold……"
Tory Black walked into the office with a coffee pushing the door and saw his own devil leaning lazily on the boss's chair, frowning and closing his eyes, leaning his head tilted on the back of the chair, and many documents were spread on the desk.
Tori walked to the desk, put down the coffee cup, walked around behind Andy, stretched out his fingers, and helped the Great Devil gently rub the temples.
"Go back tonight to prepare, we will go back to Los Angeles tomorrow..."
"Okay, boss."
Tori looked at the Great Demon King's brows and still did not relax. This was something that rarely happened. It seemed that the Great Demon King had encountered some problems, and a hint of inexplicable distress in his heart.
"Or why I'll relax for you?" As he said that, he squatted down and stretched out his jade hand to untie Andy's belt.
Andy opened her eyes, smiled bitterly, reached out to grab Tori's little hand, to stop the belt that had been pulled out, looked at Tori's covetous pretty face, and shook her worried expression, "Okay, I'm fine, save the energy to go back to the hotel..."
Andy, who returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco, started to preheat and promote his singles who made money. It was related to Meidao. Andy, who was already in a state of money shortage, would not care about the cold character he had been cultivating. As long as he could increase sales and make fans pay for it, he would be able to do so.
Taylor, who also likes exaggerated expressions and is crazy, swept the screen. Taylor even exaggerated Andy's "privacy" in the show. Of course, these are all designed, but there is really nothing, but it can't help fans wanting to know more about Andy's situation. After all, Andy's privacy protection is too strict.
Especially on "The Allen Show", they danced with Taylor who was also not good at dancing, but only knew how to hold up his swan hands and shook his hair wildly. The stiff limbs and serious expressions of the two made Allen and the fans on the scene laugh crazy.
"Hahaha... Well, everyone in the United States will know what kind of dance the awkward dance performed by you and Taylor is like, haha." Allen stood aside and almost laughed, especially when he saw Andy and Taylor leaving seriously with cold faces.
"Of course it's a scene where people with poor dance postures twist their bodies randomly and make the scene awkward." Andy explained shamelessly.
Taylor pushed Andy with a serious expression and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we are dancers, excellent dancers, and we are promoting singles, professionally, don't tell the truth..."
Ha ha……
The audience burst into laughter again. For Taylor Swift, a newly emerged country music singer, even if the album is sold well, and his fame is driven by Andy, he can only be regarded as a new star who has appeared in many shows. He is not a hit. You should know that Taylor's character is a pure and energetic Y-woman image, pure and retro dress, and all vulgar makeup.
This pure girl and Andy, a cold man, are very funny, and the effect is very good.
The show ended with a passionate interpretation of Andy and Taylor holding a guitar.
After the show ended, Allen and Andy hugged each other with smiles. Allen looked at Taylor, who was wearing a high-waisted floral dress standing beside him, showing his invincible long legs, patted Andy on the back and smiled: "You really have a doting attitude towards Taylor."
"Haha, my little Taylor has the potential to become a superstar, right, Taylor, you won't let me down, right?"
"Of course!" Taylor's charming eyes narrowed into slits, but his tone was very firm.
Allen and Taylor, who bent down slightly, hugged, "Come on, welcome to join my show next time."
"Thanks."
Late at night in Los Angeles, although the lights are dim and neon lights are flashing, some streets look a little cold under the street lights.
In this entertainment city, when night falls, it will become different. Some streets are very dangerous, especially the economic downturn, and more and more homeless people are.
Andy looked at some drunken men and women on the street outside the car window and some homeless men in the corner, and couldn't help but sigh.
A Taylor, who was secretly looking at Andy's side face, had a hint of blush on his face, didn't know what he was thinking.
"Does it look good?"
Andy didn't look back at Taylor, but just asked suddenly, causing Taylor's heart to beat faster, and he looked shy. He quickly turned his face to look out the window.
"hehe……"
Andy turned his face and looked at the street lights that made the car light and dark. Taylor's fair pretty face was covered with two rosy touches. He reached out and grabbed her white and tender jade hand, gently kneaded it, and finally put it to his mouth and kissed it lightly.
"ah"
The little girl Taylor looked shocked and stretched out her hand to cover her big cherry mouth. Her charming eyes widened and looked at Andy in disbelief.
But Andy's eyes became very, very soft, without any heat or evil thoughts that made Taylor feel scared, but also bright and clear, admiring and caring.
Taylor's surprise slowly disappeared, and he lowered his head shyly, and the blush on his face became more obvious. His white teeth bit his red lips lightly, allowing Andy to knead her tenderness.
"Have you taken the kiss?"
“Ah~?”
"Ah what, like a little fool, I ask you have ever received a kiss?" Andy asked in a magnetic voice like a devil seducing the lost lamb.
"...No...No." She was not very popular in school, and her secret love failed. How could she take the kiss? She lowered her head in shame and felt so embarrassed.
"Do you want to try it? And me..."
Andy's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the little girl Taylor's beating heart hard. The deer began to bump into her, making Taylor's fair and pretty face turn hot and red like a cooked lobster.
