American Fortune Life

Although the major banks on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and even the U.S. government do not believe, do not want, and even use various means to prevent the mortgage securities market from falling. 【】But the market is a market after all, independent of human will.

For those Wall Street companies who open their eyes and tell lies, and even still think about fooling others to take over, they are also doing their last desperate struggle.

The deadly stabbing of Bardstone when he was leaving woke up the executives of Bear Stearns who were still dreaming. No one would save them. Instead, their former friends might have prepared knives and forks, and sat down in well-dressed clothes. At the table, waiting for their last breath, fighting for the tastiest portion.

The U.S. stock market does not rest at noon, and when the market closes in the afternoon, the news has spread all over Wall Street under the spread of interested people.

Watching the stock price of Bear Stearns plummeting in the final stage, in the CEO's office of Liberty City Investment Company, Bardstone leaned back on the boss's chair expressionlessly, resting his arms and elbows on the armrests, playing with his hands. only pens.

"I really like what the boss said. In fact, deep down in everyone's heart, everyone is looking forward to the end of the world! Today, Bear Stearns is waiting for the judgment day, which may be what Wall Street is waiting for One day." With a smile on the corner of Alvetrie's mouth, he lowered his head and turned his fingers back and forth along the rim of the coffee cup.

"The lake is too quiet, even though the water has already turned into a vortex, and I just dropped a stone, then the game will start, and all the sharks hidden around will surface. The boss has been working since last year. We started to make plans, and until today, we have realized them one by one. The boss is too capable, and the value of us people cannot be reflected. Now, the boss has given us a chance. If we want to succeed, we must show our true skills, and the opportunities are there. " Bardstone glanced at Al, said lightly.

Alvitelli and his status and functions are different. He needs achievements to let Andy know his value. Even if his investment philosophy is still conservative, if he dare not play this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then he can really Pack up and leave.

"We'll wait and see. You are the person in charge, and I'm just an assistant. As long as you don't touch the red line of danger, you can choose your target at will." Al shrugged and smiled.

Los Angeles.

With a smile, Andy looked at Ivana who was showing the new clothes in front of him, picked up the mobile phone that sounded the notification sound beside him, opened the text message and took a look, the smile on his face was even brighter.

"How is it? I like this high-waisted design..." Ivana looked in the mirror, turned her body back and forth, let the skirt fly, and asked happily.

"It's not bad, but it's a bit see-through. Remember to put a sticker on it when you wear it." Andy locked the phone screen,

Looking up, Ivana's pair of proud tops were clearly highlighted again, and reminded.

Ivana rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at herself in the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, unzipped the zipper from the side seam, took off the dress, picked up another one from the side and put it on without hesitation.

"Come here and help me... I will return to New York the day after tomorrow. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the 17th time. The federal funds rate has been raised to 5.25%. The interest rate has risen sharply. The relatively high-quality customers who repay their loans on time, the impact on the middle class you once said, I am afraid it is unavoidable, and the construction market has completely slumped, affecting the entire real estate chain... I hate it, don't make trouble!"

Ivana coquettishly patted her boyfriend's dishonest big hand away, turned her delicate body left and right, and looked at the effect of her clothes in the mirror.

"It's useless for you to go back..." Andy put his arms around Ivana's waist from behind, looked at the images of the two in the mirror, and buried his face in her slender pink jingle, "It's better to stay here Me, let me love you well..."

"Huh~" Ivana's fair and pretty face was reddish, she raised her neck, her eyes were blurred, she let her boyfriend do whatever she wanted, she turned around and put her hands around his neck, raised her pretty face and murmured: "Every day I stay with you, I will The more you can't bear to leave. Don't you want to go to San Francisco, you can't always be obsessed with that kind of thing. And you have more and more tricks, which makes me very distressed..."

"Our cooperation has always been tacit, and the quality is so high, you should be happy..."

Opening the box and touching the equipment, the little expert Andy made three times, five times and two divisions, so that both of them disarmed the equipment, and went together with Ivana...

In the evening, Liu Yan in the kitchen shook her head helplessly. The young couple hadn't been able to show up in the restaurant on time in the past few days. The coming noise really left her speechless, foreigners are really open enough.

It's really hard to imagine that the usually elegant and noble young lady would be tossed incoherently.

Liu Yan, who was about to keep the food warm, heard the sound of slippers coming down the stairs, wiped her hands with her apron, walked out of the kitchen, saw Andy coming down in a T-shirt and shorts, and asked, "Andy, the food is ready Yes, do you want to eat now?"

"Well, thank you Aunt Liu, Ivana will be down soon." Andy walked into the dining room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and drank it.

Tread...

Ivana held her arms high and twisted her long blond hair into a bun, and fixed it with a hair tie. She looked down at the steps and went downstairs quickly. There was an unresolved thick eyebrows on her pretty ruddy face. With a heavy hun, the two-piece silk pajamas on her body fluttered as she walked.

"Excuse me, miss Liu." Ivana thanked Liu Yan for taking the juice that Liu Yan handed her.

Liu Yan smiled, and began to bring food to the table for the two of them. Chinese cuisine, Ivana has fallen in love with Liu Yan's craftsmanship these days, and has completely lost resistance to the greasy Chinese cuisine. .

"Honey, we should really go to Rabbit Country to taste all kinds of food there, to see the emperor's house, and the Great Wall..."

Hearing Ivana's words, Andy smiled and said, "Next year, let's take a good look around during the Olympics."

"Welcome to be our guests! Historical sites, beautiful rivers and mountains, unique culture, you will like it, oops, I almost forgot, Andy is a Chinese expert, ha ha."

Liu Yan said happily, but as she talked, she thought of the thick Chinese books in Andy's study, and some classical Chinese books such as "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and "Cai Gen Tan" that she herself was not interested in reading. The genius writer is a true China hand.

Andy shook his head and laughed, "It's just that other people are not interested and know more about it. It doesn't count as a pass."

"By the way, speaking of Rabbit Country, how is Emily doing recently? Has the investment company opened up?" Ivana asked casually.

"It's not bad. Several companies in the Rabbit Country have already invested. Emily's talent is beyond doubt." Andy smiled while eating. "I'm going to Thailand to participate in the Universiade this time. I will stop by and see Ali's Jack Ma. As a shareholder, I will always go and see."

"Then when you leave, bring me some gifts for Emily. She likes Chanel, so bring her some items."

Originally, Andy wanted to say that Rabbit Country can sell it anywhere, but when he heard that it was a fashion item, he shut up obediently and nodded to show that he knew.

After the New Century Financial Corporation, it became another large mortgage lender in the United States to file for bankruptcy.

The U.S. stock market once again fell after hearing the news, and the global stock market was once again affected by the cascading reaction.

Global bank stocks generally fell.

The nightmare of the subprime mortgage crisis is rapidly spreading from the United States to the whole world, and the whole world has to face the financial tsunami that has already begun to ferment.

Ivana stood at the door of the plane with some reluctance, and waved goodbye to her boyfriend under the gangway.

Standing on the far side of the private apron, watching the Boeing plane taxiing quickly into the sky, Andy put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the empty airstrip, squinted his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the phone in his pocket rang that he was brought back to reality. .
