American Fortune Life

Chapter 999 The Carnival Continues

March 21, an important holiday in the western world, Easter.

Due to Easter, financial markets in major European and American markets are closed today. Financial institutions and investors who have "lived like years" because of the subprime mortgage crisis can finally take a break and live a weekend without worries.

However, for policymakers such as Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke and European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, this holiday season may not be very peaceful.

Just yesterday, in the face of another high interest rate in the money market, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, etc. once again took action, sending a lot of dollars, euros or pounds to the financial market.

Statistics from think tanks also show that as the Federal Reserve expanded the scope of discount window loans this week, various financial institutions are no longer "reserved", but have brazenly borrowed funds from the Federal Reserve for emergency relief.

Andy was very happy about this news, because several short-selling target companies have received funds from the Federal Reserve, so that Andy can safely hedge against them, so as not to play badly and cause unpredictable loss of control.

The major central banks in Europe and the United States all thought of sending "holiday red envelopes" to the market. Mainly because of the tragedy of sudden death like Bear Stearns.

However, such a generous bailout is unlikely to prevent the "tragedy" from happening. This week, not only the tragic Bear Stearns, but also a number of large financial institutions have become cash-strapped or disclosed more subprime-related losses.

Andy looked at the result email sent by the London company, and his already extremely comfortable mood became brighter and brighter.

At 8:30 am on Wednesday the day before yesterday, there were rumors that Halifax Bank of Scotland, the largest mortgage lender in the UK, was short of funds and had applied for billions of pounds in emergency loans from the Bank of England, and might repeat the run on the bank. Northam Rock failed. . .

Shares plunged 18% in less than an hour after the market opened. By the close, the decline narrowed slightly, but still reached 7.1%, and the market value evaporated about 1 billion pounds throughout the day.

Although the Bank of England subsequently issued a statement calling this a rumour, the Bank of England urgently convened a meeting of senior officials of major British banking institutions. The Bank of England is highly concerned about the huge changes in the market.

Does the method look familiar? And the method is simply rough and scary, but this simple method is the most deadly. Andy has been criticized as a political crap, and a group of bastards in Gaia are typical financial crap. The reward is that they don't have to be 13 faces anymore, and they can use any dirty tricks.

If the Bank of England knows that Andy's people are making waves, they will definitely list Andy as the least popular American,

But those bastards under Andy also know that they can't blatantly entertain the big boss. Anyway, they want to spread the news, chat with any restaurant that reporters often hang out, or accidentally drop a file or something, and the news will spread. out.

In any case, seeing that there were more than 200 million pounds more in his account, he naturally couldn't let his bastards down. , I heard footsteps behind me, turned off my laptop, looked back at a black halter strap on my upper body, and a long beach dress with a blue background and a white pattern on my upper body. Lima, who was dressed up, rolled his eyes and said, "Little sao , you are ready to go to the streets like this..."

Hearing Andy's complaints, Lima stretched out his middle finger at Andy angrily, "I posted it, and I can't see it at all..."

As she spoke, she lifted up her more and more proud bust with both hands, and made Andy cover half of his face with a black line on his forehead, "You won!"

For the security consultants whose big boss wants to take his lover out for fun during Easter, a particularly important holiday in Jamaica, it can be described as an enemy.

12 bodyguards are fully armed and on standby. Jamaica's social security has been poor for a long time, and the violent death rate ranks among the highest in the world. The number of murderers is the highest in the world. Don't be surprised to read three homicides a day from the same newspaper, which is not a special day in Jamaica. There are more than 1,000 homicides in this country every year. In 2007, there were more than 1,600 murder cases.

As for Kingston as the center, murder, robbery, and theft are as common as eating and drinking water every day.

The main reason for the high crime rate is that more than 85% of children in the country are illegitimate children, and more than 50% of children are born without the father's name when they are registered.

Someone once wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, asking for licenses for Jamaican men's guys, tsk tsk, black buddies. . . Hey, they are all Teddy walking upright!

Andy deliberately kept a pruned beard and a pair of sunglasses. The camouflage effect is very good. After all, most of his photos are the kind of handsome man who has no friends. Really not, besides, in Jamaica, it is impossible for many people to know him.

And it's time for the annual Jamaica Carnival, from beach parties to street parades, from weekly masquerade camps to Friday nights, from garden breakfast parties to gourmet feasts. . .

Driving Kingston into a frenzy, the Jamaicans have their own unique way of showing the enthusiasm of the Caribbean to all tourists.

Lima, wearing a white dame mask, is completely immersed in the carnival atmosphere.

"It's not as big as our carnival in Brazil, but I like the atmosphere, my God, I like these feathers, honey, look, isn't it beautiful?"

Andy watched Lima put a pair of colorful feather headdresses on his head, and showed him with a happy smile.

"Incomparable, mainly because of her beauty!" Andy stretched out his hand to hold her slender waist, and Kenny and the others separated the crowded crowd around the booth by standing in a half circle, and their nerves were a little tense like a falcon. His eyes looked around.

Music performances are endless, reggae, soka, calypso. . . Andy was dragged by Lima, who was laughing very happily, into the people who were moving with the music.

The sun shone on their shoulders, and the sweat dripped from their foreheads. Lima and Andy learned all kinds of dance moves unique to Jamaica that are not suitable for children, like animals courting a mate, dancing happily in the noisy streets, without any worries, happy and carefree .

Andy and Lima were haunted by thousands of songs, looked into each other's eyes, and heard the enthusiasm of the crowd, and they also became part of this carnival celebration.

"It's great, I love this place..." Lima excitedly took off the lady's mask on his face, jumped on Andy's back with a bright smile, and cheered with his hands raised high.
