American Fortune Life

Wall Street in late autumn is chilly. Bankruptcies, layoffs, and successive bad news have chilled Wall Street.

No one wants to lose their jobs in an economic crisis, but it is not easy to live in fear all day long. Winter on Wall Street will be extraordinarily cold this year.

"Have you heard, that short-seller king is still buying a lot of gold, he's crazy. He's already bought more than 30 billion in the past few days..."

A trader in blue overalls who was looking at the trend of the stock index looked away, looked at the colleague who was talking to him in a low voice, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know, since he mobilized a large amount of funds, everyone has been paying attention. Waiting to see his next move, boy, who would have thought that he was all in the gold market, it's crazy.

I heard that the same is true in London. The British pound was affected by the surge in gold, and its exchange rate against the US dollar fell to its lowest level in six years. "

Another trader couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Why didn't he buy bottoms with the stock god! Damn it, so that people's panic will be minimized, but he started to hit the gold market, and many people chose to follow him. In five days, gold soared from $710 to $800, but oil plummeted all the way, and even production cuts could not stop the decline..."

"Stop complaining, don't say you didn't follow him to buy gold!" The previous trader pinched his chin with his sleeves rolled up, his strong arm full of hairs, and retracted his attention from watching the changes in the market's stock index. He glanced at the colleague who complained before with disdain.

"Ahem..." The man coughed twice in embarrassment.

"He can make no secret of his actions, which is already very good. He just wants to make money for those who are willing to believe in him. As for the stock god, he has suffered heavy losses during this period..."

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times, one of America's premier news organizations, is being slowly destroyed by a dodgy new owner, whose relationship with Tribune Inc. become increasingly tense.

And now the parent company is going to file for bankruptcy protection, which makes the Times even more complaining. Until two days ago, there was news that Andy Smith, a super rich man, intends to acquire the "Los Angeles Times" and let the newspaper regain its status. Back in the hands of the 'locals', it was like a whirlwind, and immediately spread throughout Los Angeles, and even the newspapers saw the hope of regaining glory.

The newspaper office has long been fed up with the incompetent parent company's "big purge" management, and has continued to slash expenses to maintain profits. Layoffs seem to be the only way the parent company can think of to "survive".

I heard that the parent company recently plans to lay off 75 employees, accounting for 10% of the number of employees in the news department. This is already the second round of layoffs in the news department of the Los Angeles Times since July this year.

When the "Los Angeles Times" newspaper confirmed Andy Smith's acquisition intention, it directly published a soft article by Andy Smith in the newspaper the next day, and it was almost a public kneel down. The arrival of the rich.

While the Los Angeles Times was secretly looking forward to the arrival of 'Liberation Day', Forum CEO Samuel Zell frowned and had difficulty making a decision when facing Andy Smith's acquisition letter from Gaia Investment Company.

Now the news that Andy Smith is going to acquire both the Los Angeles Times and the Miami Herald has long been raging, and the Miami Herald, which was originally intended to be sold, is even more joyful. Invite the other party to start acquisition negotiations.

Now, almost everyone in the outside world is waiting for their forum company, which is about to file for bankruptcy protection, to make a decision, agree or disagree!

Samuel really wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, this matter had to be decided by the board of directors, and, at this time, a large amount of cash was definitely the board members' favorite to see, after all, whether it was Barclays or MG Chase, both I hope the forum company can come up with money to repay the debt.

Boom——

"Come in."

"Boss, Andy Smith's Instagram has updated with a new photo and message..."

Samuel frowned and looked at the secretary who was talking and talking, and said lightly: "Say."

"Boss, this is his Instagram, please take a look." The secretary said and handed Samuel his iCrazy phone.

Samuel took the phone and saw a photo of several newspapers scattered randomly on a dining table. Looking carefully, the top two were "Los Angeles Times" and "Miami Herald", and the bottom one was " Newsweek, The New York Observer, The Observer Of The World, The Independent and The Evening Standard, and corners of various magazines.

The photo was captioned 'No reason, don't make money off of them, just buy them if you like them. '

Anyone who reads this passage will be shocked by the thick 13 characters of indifference, Nima, buy it if you like it, rich people are so self-willed. . .

The corners of Samuel's mouth twitched a few times. As a billionaire, he had the urge to look up to the sky and lament. He originally played a very beautiful capital game and wanted to make a lot of money. Who would have thought that the financial crisis would break out. Totally messed up.

Forget it, let's hear what the directors decide. . .

When the outside world was making a fuss because of him, Andy, the client, did not care at all after posting on Instagram. After pretending to be 13, he stopped hearing things outside the window and continued to indulge in the gentleness of the snail girl.

"Go away, you bastard, don't touch me!" Gal Gadot, who was wearing a green woolen dress, angrily pushed away and squeezed to the side of her sofa, and Andy, who was beating her up and down, glared at him With a glance, he continued to browse the news on the Internet.

"Ahem, honey, watching the news is so boring, let's go, let's go to the bedroom to play games..."

The corners of Gadot's mouth twitched unnaturally, Yin Fang clenched his head and turned his head suddenly, his eyes were almost on fire and stared at Andy with a smirk on his face, "You'd better play with yourself!"

Thinking that since he recovered, he has been tossed by the bastard in front of him without any restraint. Even if he knows the taste, Gadot has been tossed miserably by Andy, who has discovered the New World and enjoys it.

"Hey——" Andy sighed in disappointment, and lay down on the sofa, pretending to be unloved.

Seeing Andy's rogue appearance, Gadot's mouth turned slightly, ignored him, and continued to surf the Internet, watching the news reports about Andy.

"Did you really buy more than 40 billion US dollars of gold in London and New York?" Gadot was still very shocked and unbelievable at the moment. Although Andy had already answered, she still felt cautious after reading these reports. There was a flutter.

"1"

Gadot looked curiously at Andy, who was upside down, with his eyes closed, and instead of answering the question, he opened his mouth to count the seconds, which made Gadot a little confused.

"2"

"Okay, the money for a Maserati has come out, and this new car is for you!"

Gadot's expression froze, the corners of her mouth twitched and looked at Andy, who was flirting with her eyebrows, swallowed, opened her mouth, and smiled wryly. She naturally knew what Andy meant, more than 400 Hundreds of millions of gold can make him make money every second, and even make a Maserati every two seconds, or more. At this moment, Gal Gadot finally believes that for some people , money is already a numbers game.

"This report says that this is a conspiracy. You entered the gold market so unabashedly in order to attract the attention of some followers, and then sell them at a high price for others to take over..."

"laugh--"

Andy sneered disdainfully, then crossed his hands, put them on the back of his head, put his feet on Gadot's big legs, and said lightly: "In the current American financial market, there are only two good people, one It's old scoundrel Warren Buffett, and the other is Baby Ben. Believe in me and live forever!"
