American Fortune Life

Regarding Ivana's proposal, Andy pondered for a while, and nodded slightly. He didn't want to contact News Corporation so early to propose to buy the Dodgers, but his sports investment company did an in-depth investigation.

He found out that McCourt, who had signed an agreement with News Corp. and wanted to run the Dodgers to make money to buy it from News Corp. without spending any of his own money, was quite capable. The team's management methods are very good. The current team's lineup is very good. It will not be difficult to reach the playoffs in the next one or two seasons.

In this way, Andy needs to consider the cost of time. Under the economic crisis, the depreciation of the US dollar is certain, and the value of some high-quality assets will not fall instead. It is better to take advantage of the market panic and the future is unknown, and take it early.

"In the beginning, News Corporation spent a total of 430 million U.S. dollars to buy the Dodgers. You can tell Wendy Murdoch that I am willing to buy the Dodgers for 500 million U.S. dollars. In the current economic environment, News Corporation should pay this price. If you can accept it happily, the rest depends on whether Murdoch wants to sell it."

"Okay, I see. I asked Wendi out for dinner at noon. For Wendi, this matter is actually an opportunity. She has not wanted to join News Corporation for a day or two."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Andy stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of Ivana's nose, and said with a smile: "She is very ambitious and capable, but it's a pity that Murdoch and his two sons will not give her this opportunity ..."

Ivana also nodded approvingly. Everyone knows that Murdoch's shares in News Corporation have been put into the family trust fund by him. Wendy Murdoch didn't get any shares, and the two daughters only got one. Xiaodian can only pay dividends to shares without voting rights. This is also a compromise Murdoch made to his children in order to marry Wendy Murdoch.

Of course, to put it bluntly, Murdoch is just being defensive. After all, the age gap between the two is too big. If one day sees God, he doesn’t have to worry about his family members vying for property, causing the media empire he built throughout his life to fall apart.

Ivana's pretty face had a red cloud at some point, and her breath was also a little disordered. She patted Andy's arm coquettishly, feeling the bubby's constant changes, but seeing Andy's indifferent picture, I liked it Such an appearance is quite helpless. Of course, it is still very sweet for her boyfriend to be so obsessed with her.

In Andy's view, this kind of thing can be played at any time, whether it is the unavailable fantasy of the previous life, or the exclusive rights obtained in this life, these are the benefits that he will never tire of after realizing his dream.

It wasn't until the breakfast was served that Andy let go of Ivana, who was already lying in his arms with silky eyes, bowed his head and kissed her, then helped her tidy up her T-shirt, and pulled her to have breakfast together.

The maid has long been used to the you and me between this enviable couple,

It's not like she hasn't heard of the corner.

After Andy sent Ivana to the company, he went to Liberty City Investment Company. Because of the active response of the U.S. government, under the continuous blood transfusion, the panic in the market went through the initial stage of fierce publicity, and the market also slowed down. Slowly calming down, the real estate market showed signs of bottoming out after a cliff-like plunge.

Some people deeply affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and the rhythmic media feel relieved, thinking that the most terrifying economic crisis has been contained, but for Wall Street, financial elites who understand the subprime mortgage market understand very well that this It's just that the market is digesting the influx of fresh blood.

The calm before the storm!

It just gave them a chance to breathe overnight. Once there is any trouble, the storm will be more terrifying and violent than before.

Andy doesn't care about the temporary calm of the US market, because his eyes have already moved to the UK market, and he came here today to see the layout in the UK and how the preparatory work is going.

"At present, we have completed the short-selling layout of the UK's stock index futures, and the financial system has selected the fifth largest mortgage lender in the UK as the target, mainly relying on inter-bank lending and selling mortgage securities to raise funds; Northam Rock Bank;

After the subprime housing mortgage crisis, all banks have tightened their loan windows, and Sunrock Bank will inevitably encounter a liquidity shortage in the short term.

The panic that has been backlogged will also be detonated because of this. Selling under panic is irrational. The FTSE 100 index will inevitably plummet. Our estimated return this time will be around 40%. "

"Can I make 2 billion pounds after closing the position?" Andy squinted his eyes slightly, crossed his legs, leaned on the boss's chair, touched his chin, and looked at the various data charts on the projector, as if talking to himself Talking to himself, and muttering as if asking.

"The error of up and down fluctuations will not be too large. The leverage we choose is not too large. Even if we can foresee the market prospects, there is no need to gamble, and now that the dollar is depreciating, the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar is at the highest value in the past 20 years. However, The 1:2 exchange rate will not last for a long time, and the next depreciation of the pound is foreseeable. We have also made a good foreign exchange layout.”

Regarding Bardstone's supplement, Andy nodded in satisfaction. To put it bluntly, his own funds are still too small. Even if he uses leverage, he still has a part of the principal as a deposit, so this is the only way to go.

Seeing that the boss still seemed a little dissatisfied, Bardstone explained again: "Boss, the Northern Rock Bank we chose this time with a very aggressive financing strategy will not have much time to short.

Three days, this is the time for us to get out of the whole body based on our deduction and analysis. We will let the media push it. The news ferments, the people panic, seek help, the government responds, and finally rescue the market. It will be completed within five days at the latest.

The third day will be the safest and most profitable prime time, and the fourth day may still make profits, but we don’t need to take this risk. Once the British government intervenes in the rescue, it will inevitably rebound due to the sharp drop, and the gain outweighs the gain. "

Andy nodded. What he really grasped was the general trend. He knew the time when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out and ended, and the severity of the subprime mortgage crisis, but he didn't know every detail of what happened. There are not so many opportunities for him to profit from the subprime mortgage crisis.

Relying on this crisis, he has already obtained very rich profits. It is true that he should not continue the gambler-style investment behavior. Be careful to sail for thousands of years and return to rationality, which will not make him less money. Anyway, there are still many opportunities in the next two years, and he doesn't need to seize every one, it is enough for him to earn a lot of money.

Near noon, Ivana kicked off the flat shoes on her feet, walked into the inner lounge of the office barefoot, opened the closet, and took out a high-waisted, slim-fitting fluffy dress from Chanel with black bottom and white polka dots. Full of classic and elegant charm.

Throwing it aside, he took out a pair of strappy black high-heeled sandals from underneath, closed the closet, looked at himself in the cloakroom mirror, his skin became more and more hydrated, he couldn't help smiling sweetly, and put his white shirt and The black OL skirt was taken off, and Xia Fengni's fiery body was shown back and forth in the mirror.

After changing into a dress, the originally 180cm slender figure is matched with a high waist, tutu skirt, and high heels, which instantly elongates the proportion of the body, achieving the trompe l'oeil effect of more slender legs.

Satisfied, he picked up a black Chanel handbag, smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his chin slightly, put on a pair of white-framed sunglasses and left the office.

The paparazzi outside the cp building naturally followed the pictures all the way, and the restaurant where Wendi Murdoch made an appointment to eat was not far away, just a few steps away.

Beautiful ladies, bodyguards and paparazzi surrounded by reporters formed a lively scene on the streets of Manhattan. Some passers-by recognized Ivana and took out their mobile phones to take pictures non-stop. Ivana kept wearing her iconic sweet smile , she was in a good mood and answered a few familiar paparazzi questions without saying a word.

When approaching the entrance of the restaurant, a paparazzi asked, "Ivana, can you tell me which baseball team Andy is going to buy?"

"Guess? Heck, okay, I'm here, see you all." Ivana said in an elegant and soft voice, nodded slightly at the paparazzi, and stepped directly into the restaurant that had been opened long ago Glass door.

A reporter who was lying on the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street and took pictures with a camera saw the woman hugging Ivana close to her face, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Wendy Murdoch..."
