American Fortune Life

In the study room, Andy adjusted his sitting posture, resting his elbows on the armrest of the boss chair and resting his chin on his hands. While listening to the think tank's data analysis on the recent global financial situation and the speculation on future market changes, his brain It was running quickly, making its own judgment based on the content of international financial news that was not much in his previous life.

From the very beginning, the gold finger who crossed the line couldn't get him much help with specific goals in the financial field. What he had was just a big picture. If he really wanted to make money from the financial market, he would ultimately have to rely on the help he had in his hands. The financial elite.

To be honest, if he didn't have something to rely on, Andy would never plunge into this treacherous financial market. He would just buy some gold honestly, buy Apple stocks heavily, and then When Bitcoin appears, prepare a hundred or ten computers as mining machines, buy in large quantities at the lowest price, and wait to make a fortune.

But once anyone has tasted the huge profits brought by the capital game, it is difficult to look at other means of profit.

However, Andy is also self-aware. For him, the capital game is only a means of collecting money. It is acceptable as a sideline in his asset allocation, but as the main business, Andy has never thought about it. In the end, Still have to return to industry.

When it comes to Bitcoin, Andy has been paying attention to various secret cryptography forums, waiting for the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto to appear. Andy is not interested in knowing who the other party is, but for the success of Bitcoin, no one compares him More clearly, although he had never touched Bitcoin in his previous life and only heard about it, the high price before time travel left a deep memory in his memory.

As for replacing Satoshi Nakamoto's proposed concept of regional chain, new idea currency, etc., Andy has no interest. Even if Bitcoin really appears, Andy will not use wealth to make money. For an emerging game, the most important thing is the player's The number of people, only the more people play, the greater the promotion of this kind of game, and the more market it will have.

It's never too late for Andy to harvest when the market grows!

But it’s still a little early to think about this, after all, that Satoshi Nakamoto hasn’t appeared yet, and Andy pulled back his thoughts, and saw in the video window, a subordinate was bending over Al’s ear and saying something, and Al’s His face also became a little serious.

Andy thought Al would tell him what happened soon, but wait until after the meeting.

"What makes you so cautious and serious?" Andy asked Al in the video curiously.

"Robert Peyton, the financial news editor of "Du Libao", disclosed the secret talks of British financial institutions in his reports several times in a row, which caused violent fluctuations in stock prices and was regarded by many people as a "market threat."

Now that he has attracted the attention of the British government, MPs have called for an investigation into Robert's sources. "

"Hehe, since you are a member of my newspaper, how could you be easily bullied?" Andy narrowed his eyes, and soon understood that this is a pawn of the London financial team, and panic is pervasive in this global financial market During this period, any disturbance may cause a chain reaction. Stimulating the market by disclosing inside information is undoubtedly the easiest way to manipulate the market.

It turns out that Robert Payton posted a message in his report on the morning of the 13th and on the website of "DU Newspaper": CEOs of many large British banks are in talks with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and Governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King , I hope the government can inject capital into the banks to help them tide over the current difficulties.

Although the Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays subsequently issued a statement to refute the rumors, saying that they did not seek government help, but it was too late. Shares in Britain's major banks tumbled at the open on Monday. Among them, the Royal Bank of Scotland fell the most, reaching 20.46%, and the market value of billions of pounds evaporated in one day.

This result made the British Treasury and the major banks furious, and the two sides began to blame each other, thinking that the other party had leaked the news.

And this is not the first time Payton has thrown a "blockbuster".

And Robert Payton is not only the ace financial reporter of "Du Li Bao", but also because he has had a very close relationship with the big names in the British political and financial circles for a long time. Press secretary to Chancellor Gordon Brown.

Andy would never choose to sacrifice such an easy-to-use sniper rifle. I believe that this time the Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays Bank plummeted, and the London group must have gained a lot. After receiving a high proportion of bonuses, these groups under him became completely crazy.

"British Monetary Authority? Haha, let's fight!" Andy said with a sneer, squinting his eyes slightly, rubbing his chin.

October is the late autumn in London, and the autumn sunshine here is undoubtedly the most extravagant for Londoners. Leaving aside the London neighborhoods where armed conflicts took place in anti-bailout demonstrations, you can see police cars parked on the side of the road and policemen standing in front of them from time to time.

Robert Payton walked towards the building where the newspaper office of "DU Libao" was located amidst many colleagues' questioning and taking pictures.

"Guys, stop pestering me, I can't give out sources. I never do that and never will. Please let this be over. Thank you."

Robert Payton was surrounded in front of the newspaper building, said helplessly, stretched out his hand to push aside the crowd, walked into the newspaper office quickly, and ignored the noisy questioning behind him, along the way, colleagues in the newspaper office greeted him with concern , everyone knows that Robert Payton may face investigations by financial regulators. This is undoubtedly the last thing a reporter likes to encounter.

In the editor-in-chief's office, Simon Garner saw Robert Peyton knocking on the door and walking in, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said to Robert Peyton, who had a somewhat dignified expression: "Robert, take it easy, I have good news for you, coffee, Or black tea?"

Although Robert was a little curious about the good news that caused the editor-in-chief who had a headache yesterday, he relaxed today, suppressed his curiosity first, squeezed out a smile and said, "Black tea is fine."

Simon Garner took a teacup, picked up the black tea pot until it was full, handed it to Robert, watched the other party take a sip, and then smiled: "I received a call from the big boss last night, he already knows about you , he respects your choice, and said that the newspaper society fully supports you and defends your rights and the rights of journalists."

"call--"

Robert Payton breathed a sigh of relief, and his frowning and stiff expression dissipated with the good news. To be honest, what he was most worried about was that the newspaper would not be able to withstand the pressure from the government to let him reveal his source. At that time, the only way out for me may be to change jobs.

But it is entirely conceivable that he, who offended many bankers, was deliberately targeted and excluded. But it’s different now. If he has the support of the newspaper, then he has enough confidence. Even if it’s a lawsuit, the newspaper will send out lawyers to help him deal with it. Fighting alone and standing behind the newspaper are two completely different concepts, let alone , This is the decision of the young Niu 13 boss who is far away in the United States, so that he doesn't have to worry.

The support of the big boss, who is richer than Murdoch of News Corporation, swept away the anxiety in his heart, and chatted with the editor-in-chief Simon Garner while drinking black tea.

"Boom——"

"Come in."

"Editor-in-Chief, a group of guests came, and they said it was the boss, Mr. Smith..."

When Simon Garner heard the secretary's words, he stood up hurriedly, interrupted the secretary's introduction with a wave of his hand, and said, "Robert, come with me, the person sent by our boss has arrived."

With a curious expression on his face, Robert Payton followed Simon Garner out of the office quickly.

In the office hall of the newspaper office, a group of straight black suits and leather shoes, the corners of their mouths slightly turned up, and gentlemen who were always smiling stood there waiting in step by step. Even though he was straight, he chose a white-collared blue body and a dark blue tie for the middle-aged man with a warm smile on his face, looking very casual.

When Simon Garner saw the person coming, he was slightly startled, and hurried forward, stretched out his hands to shake hands with the person, and bowed slightly, respectfully said: "Good morning, Mr. Ross, it's a great honor to meet you."

"Hehe, hello, Editor-in-Chief Garner, this is Mr. Robert Peyton, right? I'm Robert Rhodes. I'm entrusted by Mr. Andy Smith to act as your litigator." Rhodes smiled warmly.

Robert Peyton naturally knew this Mr. Rhodes. In the upper class of London, there are probably very few people who do not know this Queen's Counsel, and they also shook hands with him very respectfully.

"Let me introduce you to the members of the legal team. This is Amar Alamuddin, Senior Counsel, specializing in international law, criminal law and human rights law."

"Hello, I'm Amal Alamuddin, responsible for the human rights protection of Mr. Peyton..." With charming curly hair, wearing a gray tailor-made exquisite suit and a camel-colored windbreaker, tall The beautiful woman with a slender figure and a delicate face with obvious exotic blood smiled sweetly and reached out to shake hands with Simon Garner and Robert Payton.

"What a Legally Blonde!" This was the heartfelt exclamation of Simon and Robert after they were amazed.
