American Fortune Life

Hearing the little assistant's resentful tone, he almost knew that it was another typical example of the weak family affection that was set up by the 18-year-old DU of the American elite class and self-sufficient.

This set of so-called mainstream values ​​really allows the elite class in the United States to occupy the main social resources for a long time, and I firmly believe in this concept, perhaps because I don’t want more responsible middle- and low-class Americans to completely let their children One generation after another repeats the life of the middle and lower classes.

And those Jing heroes practiced another set of inheritance paths, so that their descendants have always been at the upper level of the social class. This is another kind of class solidification that is more hidden by propagating mainstream values.

What comes with it is the lack of family affection, and even many children who are kicked out of the house at the age of 18 will never contact their parents in their lives, or die outside. The reason why there are so many missing persons in the society is that they don't even care about their own family members, and who cares about the life and death of these people.

"How long has it been since you went back?" Andy raised his head and asked with concern.

"It's been four years. I left Seattle after graduating from high school, and I haven't contacted me again. After all, I have to work and go to school at the same time. How can I have time..." Tory Black saw the soft eyes of the big devil, lowered his head, and Bei Biting the red lip with his teeth, the fork gently poked the steak on the plate.

"What do they all do?" Andy continued to ask, putting a piece of beef into his mouth with a fork.

"My mother is a nurse, my stepfather works for a gas company, and I have a five-year-old brother."

When Andy saw her talking about her younger brother, there was a sweet smile on her face. He sighed softly, put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, took a sip of water from the glass, and said, "I'll leave it for you for a few days tomorrow." Fake, go home and have a look, buy more gifts, I will give you a quota of 100,000..."

"No... I'm leaving, and you have no one to take care of you." Tory Black shook his head and refused, but his expression was a bit tangled.

"Go back and have a look. Family and affection need to be taken care of. You have been with me for a long time. You should also know how ridiculous the so-called independent concept is. Don't blame your family, okay. It's settled like that."

"... Boss, thank you." Tory Black seemed to have opened the closed longing gate at once because of the words of the Great Demon King.

"Hehe, don't be stupid, eat quickly..." Andy smiled, looked at the little assistant who had mist in his eyes, and continued to eat with a knife and fork.

Coming out of the restaurant, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings, the lights are brilliant,

On the street where people come and go, Andy said softly: "Walk with me..."

Andy and Tori walked side by side, and Joseph and the other two bodyguards walked five or six steps apart in a triangle to protect Andy in the middle.

"Boss, you have earned so much money, how do you plan to spend it..." The little assistant, who was silent for a while, couldn't help being excited and asked tentatively when he thought of the current wealth of his big devil.

"Hehe, is there a lot? I don't think it's enough! Really, it's not enough, forget it, tell you that you don't understand, tell me about you, tell me about your childhood."

Tolly Black couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard the words of the Great Demon King. If you don't say it, how do you know that I don't understand!

But the big devil is willing to get to know himself, and he is also very happy. This time, it is because the big devil feels that he has tossed himself miserably, and his conscience realizes that the next time he is so considerate, he doesn't know when he will wait.

"As a kid, I've been eagerly anticipating that one day I'll be in the spotlight..."

Andy listened to Tory Black talking about his childhood and experiences, walking on the streets of Manhattan at night.

On Wall Street, especially in this sensitive period, the negotiation between Andy and Morgan Stanley is no secret. When the negotiating team of Morgan Stanley left and Andy led his subordinates to celebrate wildly, Morgan Stanley and Andy reached a deal The news has spread to all major forces on Wall Street, but the specific transaction amount is kept secret.

Of course, if you really want to inquire, there is no difficulty, but the entire Wall Street, and even the major financial institutions and media in the United States are all focused on the announcement of Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States.

On the same day, it was revealed that the hedge fund Sowood Capital, which manages $3 billion in assets of Harvard University, lost nearly half of its asset value in just one month because of its subprime mortgage business.

The entire market is in panic and confusion. As housing prices fall, more and more foolish mistakes are exposed. No one knows who will be next.

Bear Stearns spokesperson also said that it was an act to protect investors because the actual value of the asset was higher than its current market price.

"We believe that the fund's investment portfolio is good and can survive until the market returns to normal. We believe that stopping redemption will best protect the long-term interests of investors."

Of course, his words turned out to be nothing more than illusory imaginations. Not only did the two funds suffer disaster, but Bear Stearns itself could not survive the crisis.

In Andy's bright and spacious office in Gaia Investment Company, with simple and modern decoration, Andy turned off the TV with the remote control, and saw the people in the think tank and the management of Liberty City Investment Company led by Bardstone They all looked at themselves.

"After the celebration, we should proceed to the next step. You have just seen what the spokesperson of Bear Stearns said. Therefore, the next step is to short its stocks. Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley and others Citibank, Merrill Lynch, and AIG insurance companies that have been severely affected are all under our guns!"

Andy's words made everyone in the room nod in agreement. This was also planned before, but the target hadn't been selected collectively at that time. As time went by, more and more data showed that these large companies, Banks have huge problems.

As the main force for shorting U.S. stocks, Bardstone began to report on the materials they had been collecting on major target companies, as well as the stock price trend. Although the U.S. stock market is now boosted by various good news, the upward trend is significant.

But everyone sitting here who really understands the situation knows that this is nothing more than a deliberate manipulation by someone with a heart. Apart from leaving time to escape, it is also the last dying struggle.

When Bardstone led his team to leave, the main members of the think tank headed by Arvette were left in the office, and Li Xiaoying was naturally on the list.

Because Li Xiaoying has been in charge of the cdo project with the big team during this time, and has no chance to have more contacts, but every time she sees her knowledge and elegance, it makes people's eyes shine.

"Boss, I have already contacted Bank of America, and they will send someone over to discuss the loan in a while." Alvitley reported to Andy Hui.

"What is the price of gold now?"

"$650 an ounce."

"Buy all the gold for 4 billion, and then use the gold settlement order to get a loan from the Bank of America. I think this time the Bank of America will not worry about our repayment ability anymore, and the next step is to make our first acquisition!" Andy I know that the craziest thing in the future is the price of gold. Except for a sudden drop in the middle due to the panic caused by the global subprime mortgage crisis, due to reasons such as hedging and currency issuance, the price of gold has soared all the way to more than 1,900 US dollars an ounce.

This is an opportunity. Although there is a specific price and time of the drop in the middle, there is a perfect reference that can be used as a basis, that is, Lehman Brothers can sell before it goes bankrupt.

This time around is enough to make a lot of money for me, and maybe the money I earn back can directly fill half of the funds I need to spend.

"So, boss, our goal is to..."

Arvette looked at Andy with a serious expression, and the others also looked at the young boss with excitement and curiosity.

With a smile on the corner of Andy's mouth, he took out a book with colorful covers from the side seam of the sofa beside him and threw it on the table in front of him, making a crisp "pop" sound.

"Marvel Comics—Marvel Comics!"
