American Fortune Life

Paulson, who was clearly preoccupied but still had a smile on his face, was welcomed into the Haizi Courtyard. After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Paulson wanted to chat with Andy alone.

After Andy led him into his study, Paulson first asked if it was safe with a solemn expression.

After checking in on the first day, Andy, who had been 'cleaned' inside and out, nodded lightly.

Then Paulson, with a look of helplessness on his face, said, "Freddie and Fannie, these two bastards" are simply cheeky and shameless..."

Andy sat down, threw a cigar to Paulson, lighted it leisurely for himself, and then listened attentively to Paulson's narration with a light smile.

It turned out that both companies were struggling to find solutions to the problems in the subprime mortgage crisis. Fannie Mae is more attentive and rewarding. In fact, it has raised $7.4 billion, while Freddie Mac, who has vowed to, has raised nothing in terms of financing.

Just this morning, Fannie Mae executives came to their door to present a PPT presentation to the Treasury Department, clearly admitting for the first time that they have been unable to raise funds in the capital market. Still, their estimated losses were lower than the auditors' estimates. Which means that even now, Fannie Mae is still lying.

Andy listened to Paulson's angry words, and after listening to the other party's so-called full disclosure, Andy was a little stunned, and slightly closed his slightly opened mouth. After being surprised, he couldn't help but burst out laughing .

really. Fannie Mae has a really thick skin. Their PPT presentation to the U.S. Treasury Department essentially had only one meaning: "Unless you guys help us, we're going to be in big trouble.

But since we obviously meet the requirements of the legal capital adequacy ratio, you can't touch us, but you can only do it in accordance with the requirements of the law, that is, inject capital to us according to the conditions we agreed. "

What Andy sneered in his heart was that Fannie Mae even wanted to create the impression that their troubles were all caused by the US government, because it was the bazooka that the US government asked to take over that made everyone feel They've lost confidence—and that's why the U.S. government is obliged to settle the problem on terms that work in their favour.

"FXXK! These bastards, I worry about their situation all the time, and I have to try my best to assure the Chinese people in private and at banquets that everything will be fine... They are still trying to cheat money, I want to muddle through!"

Paulson was already a little out of breath, his whole face was gloomy and terrifying, and he cursed through gritted teeth.

On the other hand, Andy still looked at Paulson's anger with a calm face, watching his acting elements outweighing his inner anger. To be honest, Paulson should have known the virtues of the two rooms a long time ago. The real situation is that the two rooms started to play rogues, preparing to kidnap Washington, and then use the Nashui people's money to rescue them.

And Paulson also has a great interest in taking over the two rooms. Although there is an element of necessity, Paulson has shown great initiative in this matter.

"So...Your Excellency, you told me so much, what do you want?" Andy exhaled a puff of smoke, picked up the coffee cup, took a sip leisurely, and asked with a faint smile.

Paulson looked at the faint smile on Andy's face, and said with a helpless wry smile: "I know Alvetrie and some of your think tanks are in the capital, and I hope to get consulting help from your Gaia company. Hope to get real-time information on all Bloomberg terminals of the two rooms.

After all, you know, I still have a few days left on my Olympic vacation, and one thing that bothers me is that my calls home have to be kept private. My communications here may not be secure, and I don't want any word of the adverse situation with Fannie and Freddie to get out. . . "

"Hehe, of course I will accept business calls, but what kind of consulting help do you need us to provide?" Andy asked with a smile.

"About the planning plan for the two rooms to be directly placed in the reception process!" Paulson said, staring at Andy.

Andy looked at Paulson without giving in, then nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Many people will raise their hands to express their support for this idea, but believe me, even Bernanke will not Get personally involved in planning to help you.

Because even I am somewhat disgusted with this plan. In my opinion, the brazen couples should not receive "special treatment", even if those foreign governments hysterically seek the protection of the US government. "

"Hey——" Paulson also shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "You guessed it right, Bernanke said he supported me 100%, but Geithner said he would find "a moment of peace" for himself, Dale I feel a little guilty about saying no, I understand."

"The stock prices of the two rooms have fallen into a "falling off a cliff" since the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. Fannie Mae's stock price has plummeted since July last year, and it has fallen from $65 to less than $5 by the close of last week. Freddie Mac The stock price also plunged sharply from the middle of last year to last week, falling from around $60 to the level of $1.

In the eyes of the market, the world Fannie lived in was dead. Ordinary shareholders have lost almost everything. If you do this regardless of political costs, only creditor countries such as China and the foot basin will benefit. Well, maybe you still have reservations. Regardless, since it is a business, I have no reason do not accept. "

Andy's words made Paulson's face twitch a few times, showing a bit of embarrassment, but when he heard Andy agreed, he was about to say thank you, but was interrupted by Andy stretching out his hand with a smile on his face, and then he heard this The conditions set out by the cunning young man.

"However, my people will join your war room!"

When Paulson heard this request, he was silent. The reason why he hoped to get help from Gaia was because he knew that Gaia had been ahead of all Wall Street investment banks since the beginning of the subprime mortgage crisis. The layout is to short the two rooms. Today, Gaia has at least brought billions of dollars to Andy by shorting the two rooms. It is almost crazy than stealing money.

If we talk about the market, apart from Erfang itself who understands their plight, the one who knows the real situation of Erfang the most is probably the group of greedy hungry wolves under the hands of the young man in front of him.

Now I am looking for Andy and seeking help from Gaia Corporation, because Andy, who has been unable to squeeze out a little profit from the two rooms in the secondary market, has long been no longer interested in the two rooms, so there is no profit to participate in. Among them, Gaia's advice to him will also be more fair and credible.

It's just that Andy's current request is a bit too much. This is to extend his hand to his financial crisis rescue team. Once he agrees to join Andy's Gaia Company, mastering various policy information is the second and more important thing. According to Andy's will, there may be things that affect the direction of the bailout policy.

Seeing Paulson's face sinking into the water, and eyes full of defense and hesitation, Andy narrowed his eyes slightly, smoked a cigar, and threw the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"You are also aware of the current rift between the two parties in Congress. In your most difficult moment, I can help you once, whether it is O'Hai Niu or McCain..."

Paulson's pupils shrank sharply, and the gaze in his eyes became extremely sharp. Looking at Andy, who was spitting out eye circles and smiling calmly, at this moment, he seemed to feel that he was no longer facing the young It is shameless, a lucky young man who is always unconsciously despised, but an old fox born in Washington who is well versed in the way of trade compromise.

"..." Paulson's brain was running fast. After a moment of silence, he smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Deal!"
