American Fortune Life

\u003c"readability-styled"style=":inline;"\u003eUpper East Side, Manhattan, New York.

Ivana was wearing a white bathrobe, slightly wet long blond hair hanging loose, a pair of slender fair legs sitting cross-legged on a soft and spacious sofa, holding a stack of 4-fold newspapers in both hands, and shining light on her through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The bright sunshine on the body makes this morning full of warmth and leisure.

Andy was wearing a bathrobe and a white towel around his neck. He was wiping his wet hair with a towel in his hand. He walked up to her and sat down. He glanced at the newspaper and found that it was the first issue of his newspaper's daily. "My dear, What do you think of the contents of the newspaper?"

"Hmm...not bad, but the headlines on the front page are a bit scary, especially today, I think many people will think it's fake news. My dad's interview is good, hehe, he will definitely show off again, after all, he is with Mr. President and so many famous people appearing in the first issue of a daily newspaper."

Ivana showed Andy the newspaper with her father's photo, and smiled happily.

Andy shrugged and said: "I chose to publish the news of the real estate bubble burst in the first issue today after careful consideration. Maybe some people don't think so, or some people may have realized this problem long ago. No matter what the situation is, tomorrow, everyone wakes up in the morning You will find that the whole world has changed.”

Ivana looked sideways at her boyfriend's handsome, indifferent face with a little doubt, and then looked down at the headline of the newspaper in her hand. Her pupils shrank involuntarily, she turned her body abruptly, and stretched out her hand to grab Andy's arm. He asked eagerly, "Is there something big going to happen tomorrow?"

Andy lowered his head and glanced at the open front of the bathrobe, a white and round proud peak came into view, he couldn't help but smacked his lower lip, spread his hands and said: "The dominoes that have already collapsed will usher in the first key node, after that..."

Ivana looked worriedly at her boyfriend's plain expression of "you imagine yourself", and smiled wryly, "Why do I feel like you really want the real estate to collapse... Wait, you didn't buy CDO insurance Bar?"

Andy's eyes turned into crescents, he stretched out his hands to pinch her pink cheeks, and said with a smile, "What a smart woman."

"Hmph! No wonder you always look like you're afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Our group will suffer huge losses if the real estate collapses... How much did you buy?" Ivana pouted her red lips and snorted coldly, turning over and sitting astride On Andy's lap, outstretched jade hands squeezed Andy's cheeks hard, causing his face to change shape.

"Woo, all... Worth, one billion..." Andy received a call from Alvetrie when he just woke up in the morning. The latest news is that New Century Financial Corporation has been forced by Wall Street for $17.4 billion this morning. Debt, if today is not the weekend and the government departments do not go to work, today will be the day they announce to file for bankruptcy protection. However, this time seems to be delayed until tomorrow.

"What? God..." Ivana's beautiful eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and she looked at Andy, whose face was deformed by being squeezed by her, in horror, as if she was stuck and frozen on the spot.

Gudong.

Ivana swallowed in disbelief, and whispered with trembling lips: "Crazy... My dear, are you crazy? Short mortgage securities..."

It seemed that he had reacted, the real estate bubble burst, and the bonds became garbage. Seeing Andy winking at himself and raising his eyebrows, there was a scream in the living room.

"God, boo, god, boo..." Ivana was ecstatic, shouting to God, while holding Andy's face and kissing constantly.

"It's crazy, my dear, it's really crazy! My God, my God..." Ivana's face turned pale, her face was flushed, and she hugged Andy's face tightly in her arms, almost about to use it The proud bust suffocates Andy to death.

Ivana is not a financial novice, she graduated from the Wharton School of Business, not to mention very professional in finance,

It can be considered very familiar, she is very clear about what Andy's gamble represents, several times, even ten times the profit makes her, a rich daughter, unable to calm down, it is a billion dollar gamble, she feels that she is about to get high ~! Chaos.

"Honey, take me back to bed..."

Andy looked at Ivana whose eyes were overflowing with spring water, held up her plump tun without hesitation, stood up from the sofa, and said with a light smile, "You little bastard..."

The bedroom door closed again, and Andy's teasing voice could still be heard, "Tsk tsk, it's all like this..."

No wonder some people say that power and money are the best fuels. Even a person like Ivana who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth cannot calmly face the wealth of billions of dollars.

Andy and Ivana, who had begun to look forward to the collapse of the real estate as soon as possible, started a shameless two-person world of you and me all day long.

The outside world did not seem to cause much disturbance due to the report of the new newspaper "World Observer", but some people who knew the inside story and noticed the real estate crisis began to verify some of the data in the report purposefully.

As for the U.S. real estate developers in the center of the storm, they are hopping around and cursing the alarmist reports, while borrowing funds everywhere to ease their difficulties.

Of course, it is a new newspaper after all, and its authority and influence are less than a little bit.

Until the early morning of Monday, April 2nd, when the Iron City woke up and people got up early to start a new week of busy work, New York and some surrounding cities subscribed to the "New York Observer" weekly magazine and "News" with a sales volume of 4 million subscriptions. "Weekly" was delivered to thousands of households.

Readers are all attracted by the black and cold cover and the judgment-like title.

At the dinner table this morning, the weirdness made everyone frown, and all kinds of worries and haze enveloped people's hearts.

"The Dominoes Beginning to Fall – In-Depth Coverage on the US Housing Bubble. - Newsweek"

"Cracking bubble, dying throes before housing apocalypse! - New York Observer"

It seems that the bright sunshine over New York did not bring people a good mood this spring morning, but instead made the deep worry and joy on the faces of many people more obvious.

The reports of the two weekly magazines are not comparable to any new newspapers. The large amount of data, the analysis of industry insiders, and the desolate photos of overgrown grass and empty buildings all convey a message to readers, that is, the United States. Something is wrong with real estate, and a big one.

Readers who have a house in their hands and are repaying their loans have already felt that the rapid increase in loan interest rates in a year and a half has made them complain.

The real estate speculators have long been unable to sell the squeezed real estate in their hands. The money earned from speculation before has already paid the down payment of other real estate, and the numerous bank reminder letters in their hands make it difficult for them to face.

The dancer in clothes has long since moved out of her new house and returned to the stage. All kinds of low-level people who were able to borrow money to buy a house have long since escaped from the new house where they can constantly receive reminders, and live on the streets again, and more low-level people with dreams The salaried people have had their dreams shattered and become homeless.

No picture no truth!

Empty new housing blocks, only homeless people, stray dogs haunt, can be called a ghost town, full of bank-owned, this house is for sale wooden signs everywhere. Algae-grown pools, even outdoor pools with crocodiles, grassy lawns and gardens. . .

Everything is showing everyone the fact that the real estate boom that has lasted for many years has come to an end!

Of course, there are always people who refuse to admit defeat, and there is never a shortage of people who don’t want to face reality. Andy watched with a smile on the real estate experts invited by major TV stations to speak loudly on TV, still advocating that American real estate has never been a reality. There has never been a crash, it's just a short-term adjustment of the market and so on.

What's more, they pointed the finger at the two weekly magazines, targeting Andy, alarmist, irresponsible, etc. Some people even took out the fund company under Andy's name to short CDS, attacking Andy with bad intentions .

When the farce became more and more lively and the programs on the TV stations became more and more explosive, at 10:00 a.m. New York time, all the news TV programs received breaking news breakouts.

"According to the news just received, New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced to file for bankruptcy protection on April 2, 2007, and decided to lay off 54% of its employees because it could not repay its $17.4 billion debt on schedule. . . ”

Like a duck that has been slammed by its neck, the previous quacking is even more pale. The experts face the camera with dull eyes, terrified expressions, and flushed faces. The dead ducks opened and closed their mouths stiffly. Can't say a word.
