Chapter 645: Carnival Daily
The think tank also made an effective judgment on the effect of Washington's rescue. There will inevitably be a rescue effect before the New Year. The White House's rescue efforts have been very strong. It has never stopped transfusions. The US financial market has also tended to fluctuate and decline, rather than the previous cliff-like plunge. This is the biggest result, stabilizing the most important trouble and panic facing the global market.
There has been a decision on Andy's whereabouts of funds, and the battlefield has long since moved from the United States to the United Kingdom. The British, who feel good about themselves and have an inexplicable sense of superiority, finally tasted the bitter fruit. The 314 million pounds loaned to commercial banks by the Bank of England were immediately lifted without even a splash, and the cash thirst in the British market has begun to emerge.
Even now, there has been a serious cash thirst phenomenon in the UK financial market and the flow of capital is shrinking. The Bank of England still believes that there is no need to take liquid aid measures. Bank of England Governor Mo Wenjin believes that all current situations are reasonable and are also a short-term phenomenon...
Andy looked at the Wall Street Journal report and felt that he deserved to be rich. He didn't bite the British hard, which was simply sorry for God. No, it was not God, but these arrogant British John Bulls.
"Huh?" Andy saw a piece of news on the sports page and couldn't help but exclaim. Ivana beside him turned her head and looked at it. While flipping through the newspaper in her hand, she asked, "What news is surprising to you?"
"F1's leader Bernie and Renault team owner Briattoli have successfully acquired the Championship team Queen's Park Rangers." Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, touched his chin, and pondered.
"What's the point of making a fuss about this? Aren't you going to acquire a British football club, too?"
"You don't understand. A few days ago, F1's leader Bernie wanted to acquire Arsenal Club. It seems that he was also scared away by Walmart's son-in-law Kroenke. This Kroenke pushed a club with a market value of less than 600 million pounds to a valuation of 1 billion pounds. He was simply a bastard, and the valuation of the Premier League clubs is inflated." Andy thought that he was also squeezed away by this bastard. Tottenham was also doubled because of the son-in-law's fool. Now Andy has a lot of complaints about this Kroenke.
"So it seems that the British football club is indeed profitable. Stankroenke is a typical businessman. The Walmart family first considers business value and benefits, rather than other hobbies, trophys, etc.." Ivana frowned slightly and expressed her own opinions.
"Well, indeed, if the Premier League clubs do not play gold dollar football like Abu, they will not only be self-sufficient, but also provide profits. I have sent someone to London. I am going to buy Tottenham Hotspur club in North London. But what is annoying is that British teams have always had a routine to try to avoid foreign businessmen from joining the local team, and perhaps fans will make a fuss."
Seeing his man's a little entangled brow, he couldn't help but chuckled and stretched out his hand to help him smooth it out, saying softly: "You don't want to regard football as your main business, it's just an investment. Don't care too much. Try to keep the negotiations as confidential as possible and complete the acquisition quickly. Don't change too much in the personnel of the club after the acquisition. Find a good club chairman and let him make internal adjustments by himself. I think these are not a problem for you."
Andy looked at Ivana with a little surprise and smiled: "I didn't see that you still like football."
Ivana glanced charmingly and said, "My father also has a football team..."
"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot about this. Okay, let's have a meal first. By the way, how are the dinner being prepared?"
After shaking his head and laughing, Andy took Ivana's hand and walked into the restaurant, remembering the dinner the day after tomorrow, and asked.
"Don't worry, everything is going on in an orderly manner. This dinner has received a lot of attention. During this economic crisis, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will attend a dinner. You can imagine what the day will be." Ivana sighed with a confident and excited expression on her face.
"Haha, in addition to talking about business, this dinner is also a platform for everyone to communicate with each other." As he said that, he smiled at Ivana, who also understood his intentions, this dinner held with his own influence at a special time will undoubtedly help enhance Andy's influence and social status.
After dinner, because of the rainy weather outside, the two of them could only stay at home for the time being, each doing their own things. Ivana leaned against the sofa with a book in her arms, while Andy sat at her desk and began to switch to a super god state to write his novels.
The afternoon was as clear as the weather forecast. Ivana happily threw away her book and ran into the cloakroom. She quickly changed her clothes and wore a sky blue chiffon loose round neck shirt. Because of her unique and proud curves, the curve of the upper quilt was really hard to ignore. A pair of silver-gray combined narrow-legged pencil pants outlined her long tui, which was known as the most beautiful in New York, and a pair of light pink strap sandals with five-quarter heels. Her hair was combed meticulously and tied into a high ponytail, filled with a youthful and lively feeling.
"Wow, this kind of outfit is rare for you." Andy couldn't help but sigh. After all, Ivana usually shows off the outfit of a professional strong woman, mature and elegant.
"Hell, okay, go and change your clothes. Let's go. I don't know if the Hudson River gathering will be affected by the rain. My marshmallow..." Ivana looked worried and blinked her long eyelashes like a brush.
Andy picked up a white T-shirt and put it on, but didn't change his shorts. He found a pair of shoes to put on, and said with a smile: "This little rain will not affect Hudson's gathering, let's go."
As he said that, he reached out to hold Ivana's hand, and the two of them put on their sunglasses and walked out of the house.
To celebrate the curtain call of summer, a grand carnival will be held by the Hudson River. To put it bluntly, the American people find a reason to have fun. There will be various games, bands, juggling performances, food, marshmallows and other commodities, which are similar to the temple fair in Rabbit Kingdom.
After the rain, New York became much cooler. The banks of the Hudson River were covered with a large area of connected red and white striped stalls and tents. Although it was not as exaggerated as the crowd, it was also very lively. You can see the Statue of Liberty, the three bridges of "bmw", and the group of tall buildings in New York.
Ivana held two fluffy marshmallows in her hand, and opened her mouth to bite from time to time, with a happy smile on her face. She took Andy's hand and looked around. Some stall owners recognized Ivana and Andy, and excitedly took out their phones to ask for a photo. Some passers-by also recognized them. After all, the six tall and burly bodyguards following in front and behind are still easy to attract attention. From time to time, you can see someone taking photos with your phone, and Andy just smiled calmly.
The Americans were still more conscious. Except for a few brainless fans who screamed and rushed over to sign autographs, few people went up to disturb their date.
The two of them shuttled through the stalls with their fingers tightly, some very interesting handicrafts, unique design iron art, some paintings, and many antique errand stalls. Some exquisite antique music boxes made Ivana liked them very much.
Andy also gained a lot. A rhinoceros horn winegirl of unknown age was bought by Andy from a young man's stall for two hundred dollars. The winegirl was a little dark, but the cloud pattern was carved very exquisitely. The other party naturally didn't know what this thing was. He just felt that the carving was exquisite and he packed it up as a used goods to exchange for money.
To be honest, Andy didn't know whether it was true or not, but after all, he was a native of the Celestial Empire in his previous life. He still knew about ivory rhinoceros horn cups and other pictures, and he had seen pictures, especially the form of Jiujue, which naturally made him look at the texture. It didn't look like plastic. The cloud pattern and carving were indeed exquisite. $200 was worth it to him, so he bought it as a bargain. Later it was proved that he was indeed a big bargain. This is a later story, so I won't go into details here.
Walking around, eating, buying and buying, Andy also had more bags in her hand. At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Ivana dragged Andy to the Electronic Zoo Music Festival. Listening to the explosive electronic music, it infected the fanatical atmosphere of the surrounding demons dancing, and couldn't help but sway to the rhythm.
