American Fortune Life

"The American Association of Realtors predicts that in the coming year, property prices will return to the price when they did not start to collapse last year. The data they gave..."

"Hehe, okay, Al, don't talk about these funny news. I have no interest in it at all. Have you collected all the high-quality real estate information I need in the Malibu area? Next year will be a good year, and harvesting will begin The time has come."

Andy leaned back on the boss chair, crossed his feet on the desk, looked relaxed and lazy, and was flipping through a few faxes in his hand. Three video windows are opened on each monitor.

Al in the video quickly flipped to the next one, "Affected by factors such as investors' expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, the New York stock market rose across the board on the 12th, with the Dow Jones index rising.

On the 15th, the Federal Open Market Committee announced that it would lower the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 4.25%, and at the same time lower the window discount rate by 25 basis points to 4.75%. This is the third rate cut by the Federal Reserve since September this year. After three cuts, the federal funds rate has been reduced from the previous 5.25% to the current 4.25%. After the interest rate cut expectations were fulfilled, the global financial market fluctuated sharply again, the U.S. stock market plummeted, and the yen exchange rate rebounded strongly.

The rate cut by the Federal Reserve was small, the HK stock market also fell by more than 700 points following the external market, and the Hang Seng Index once again fell below the 29,000-point mark. We believe that HK shares will not be stimulated by important positive news in the short term. In addition, China's mainland macro-control measures may come one after another. It is expected that G shares will remain weak.

The stock prices of all the Chinese companies that have been concerned about have generally fallen, while China Railway, which we are negotiating, is a semi-new stock, but it is very popular in the market, and its stock price has risen by 10% against the market. "

Andy shrugged indifferently, but looked at Al in the video with a smile: "Everyone who knows a little about economics knows that the continued depreciation of the dollar caused by the Fed's interest rate cuts will make many countries consider adjusting their exchange rate policies.

The Fed's continued interest rate cuts could create a dilemma for other central banks in monetary policy-making as global inflation tends to rise. . . This should be the third interest rate cut this year. Hehe, it’s something that a fool can understand. I didn’t expect Murdoch to be so small-minded, and let the "Wall Street Journal" publish an article to accuse me. "

"...Boss, do we need to fire back?" It was Jon Meacham of Newsweek who spoke this time.

"No, no, let him vent, after all, I took advantage of him on the Dodgers' TV bill, and besides, they're right, I was in the U.S. economy, but this old guy is a bit So petty."

It turned out that when the Dodgers were acquired, Andy had a lot of problems with the TV broadcast rights agreement signed between the Dodgers and Fox Sports Channel. Although the annual broadcast fee of 120 million US dollars seems very delicious, there are too many of them. The Fox Sports Channel even asked the Dodgers to lend them a loan of up to 385 million US dollars, which was required to be used for the Dodgers' operating and working capital.

This is undoubtedly intended to ripen the Dodgers, and then continue to absorb the value of the Dodgers like a vampire for a long time in the future.

So as soon as Andy signed the contract, he turned his face and refused to admit it. He could not continue to tolerate the practice of deliberately putting the Dodgers at financial risk. On the grounds that its franchise rights were damaged, renegotiation was required to remove the additional clauses in the contract.

At the beginning, the Dodgers and Fox Sports Channel belonged to the same media group, and the contract agreement was also signed by the left hand and the right hand. Before that, they wanted to control Frank McCourt, who wanted the Dodgers empty-handed, so the contract signed was inevitably a bit harsh.

Murdoch had a good idea at the beginning. If you change to a young man with good money, you may earn more. What he didn't expect is that after signing the contract, he will turn his face and refuse to accept the account. If you don't agree to the negotiation, I will report it. The attitude of the alliance arbitration.

This obviously damages the sustainable development of the team brand,

The agreement that created the team's financial crisis will definitely be rejected by the league, and even if there is a lawsuit, it will be a mess.

Forced to do nothing, Fox Sports had no choice but to sit down and renegotiate. As a result, the Dodgers sold the broadcasting rights to Fox Sports for $120 million.

This price has undoubtedly created a new high price for the league's broadcast rights. Of course, it is Los Angeles after all. In the United States, no matter which league it is, as long as it is New York and Los Angeles, no team is cheap.

Murdoch, who feels that he has not taken advantage of it, will naturally not bear this tone. The old fox who has been intervening in the report content since the day he acquired the "Wall Street Journal" naturally will not be ignorant of the published article accusing Andy. People who sing empty words about the American economy.

The article pointed out that in view of the degree of influence of the US economy on the world, blindly talking about the US economy can easily lead to global panic. The U.S. economy grew by 4.9% in the third quarter of this year, and even if it decelerates in the fourth quarter, it does not mean that a recession is certain. . .

"By the way, Jon, the special report on the 70th anniversary of the Jinling Massacre in the Rabbit Country has been very successful, especially those two telegrams found in the US diplomatic relations archives, which are very serious diplomatic telegrams involving national interests. Its authenticity cannot be doubted, and it is undeniable evidence of the atrocities committed by the foot basin people by the third party and the perpetrator!"

Andy is very satisfied with the report that "Newsweek" used the cover headline to report these evidences, slapped the Japanese scumbags in the face, and let the whole world see the brutal, shameless, and innocent faces of the foot basin people. He also saw that the Rabbit Media, which was preparing for the commemoration of Jinling, also reprinted and quoted a lot of reports from "Newsweek".

In order to make this special report, Jon Meacham discovered while looking through the US diplomatic relations archives that on December 14, 1937, the US ambassador to Germany Dodd disclosed in a secret message to President Roosevelt that the ambassador to Germany Togo Maudou personally told him It is said that Dongyang Ruzi had killed 500,000 civilians before the fall of Jinling.

Another telegram sent to Secretary of State Hull on January 25, 1938 by the US Consul General in Modu, Goss reported the massacres of devils witnessed by many American missionaries in Modu, Paradise and other places. The stated timing of the massacre of 500,000 civilians partially coincides.

After careful research, Jon Meacham believed that the two telegrams confirmed the same fact through the statements of the perpetrator and third-party witnesses from different locations and channels.

The disgust and hatred for Dongyang scorpions are unforgettable for every Chinese, especially this group of Dongyang scorpions who want to deny this history shamelessly. The evidence presented by "Newsweek" this time is undoubtedly swollen. The faces of the group of politicians who jumped up and down in the country desperately denying this period of history.

Speaking of this matter, Jon Meacham also smiled slightly and said: "Boss, what you don't know is that the foot basin embassy also sent a protest to the newspaper, saying that we will lose their friendship ..."

"FXXK! A bunch of sons of bitches, threatening me, all bow-legged shorts..."

Hearing the big boss's obviously racially discriminatory words, the three subordinates went straight to the sky, acting as if I hadn't heard anything. It wasn't until the big boss finished scolding that Andy said: "Nimma, is it still friendship? Except Sending money to the newspaper Black Rabbit Country, what else did they do, it’s really disgusting, look at how many advertising contracts the companies in the Rabbit Country have brought us..."

Jon and the others on the monitor looked up at the sky speechlessly. Everyone knew that you had Chinese ancestry and had a very obvious hostility towards the foot basin country. . . As for the matter of the Rabbit Country Enterprise, these subordinates did not refute it. They are all in contact with the Rabbit Country Enterprise, and have even cooperated with it. They are really not short of money.

"Boss, I have some good news for you. The New York Rabbit Country Consulate General in the United States sent you an invitation letter for the Spring Festival celebration..."

"Well, I see, Al, please come forward to reply, and I will go to the appointment at that time, we have once again released goodwill, believe me, Chinese people are very friendly to friends, we need to take the economic express train of China, although we go It’s a bit late, but it’s a good time. In Rabbit Country, the most important thing is to deal with their government well, so that our investment can easily enter some fields, such as the issue of China Railway. Al, I believe it is very There will be progress in negotiations soon."

Hearing what the big boss said, Al nodded noncommittally and said: "I'll wait and see, but, boss, it has been fully confirmed that the third largest bank in the United States——**** company has escaped the subprime mortgage losses suffered by most other banks."

Andy twitched his mouth, shook his head and said with a smile: "A monster is a monster. It seems that this time they can have a good meal. We can only follow behind and eat some bones."

Al, Jon and the others couldn't help but rolled their eyes again. I really don't know how to complain about the greed of the big boss. For more than a year, I don't know how many people have envied this young big boss for making money from the subprime mortgage crisis. Oh, how many people are jealous, they thought he only made one million after hearing him say so unwillingly, it's obviously ten billion, okay? That's ten billion dollars. . .

"Simon, how is it going with you?" Andy asked Simon Garner, the editor-in-chief of the British "Du Li" who had been waiting silently.

"I have made an invitation according to your instructions, boss. Tomorrow, we will report on this matter. I have already communicated with Mullins."

Hearing Simon's words, Andy also set his sights on Mullins, the general manager who has now changed his name to "London Evening Standard".

"We will accompany Miss Ivana to dinner tonight, and we will arrange someone to wait at the door of the restaurant..."

"Well, good, I'll give Senator Boris Johnson another call to get his big mouth involved, I think that's enough, well, that's it for today, I'm going back to the US tomorrow..."

"Goodbye, boss."

"Good night, boss."

After turning off the video, Andy took out his phone and called Ivana who was rushing to London.
