Tuesday, June 27th.

It’s still not raining in New York, and the continued dry weather and high temperatures have made people living in this city a little listless.

For people on Wall Street, the heat is not a big deal. There is air conditioning anyway, not to mention offices. They even have central air conditioning to control the temperature in the company corridors.

However, Lei Hao found the walk from the parking lot to the company quite unbearable. The office building where Forest was located only had an underground parking lot, and the air was extremely hot and humid. When he got out of the car in the summer, he would speed up his pace, not wanting to Stay here for half a minute.

"Click!" The sound of a shutter click sounded.

"Raise your hands!" Liu Hui and others around Lei Hao had been surrounding him. According to the division of labor, white bodyguard Paul stood in the front and started negotiations directly.

"Hello, I am..." A middle-aged man holding a camera seemed to have expected this. He raised his hand and puffed out his chest to make the ID hanging in front of him more visible.

"It's a reporter again." Lei Hao waved his hand with a bit of laughter, ignored the other party, and went directly to the elevator dedicated to the building.

"Our boss does not accept interviews and does not allow any photos to be leaked. Bring your camera." Paul shrugged his shoulders and watched Lei Hao leave before speaking to the reporter in front of him.

"We have……"

“I don’t care what you have, we’re not public figures, man, listen, if you don’t cooperate, we’re going to go straight to your boss, and if you publish anything that violates our privacy, expect a court subpoena. "Paul didn't mean to talk nonsense and said again what he had repeated several times these days.

The financial industry is not the entertainment industry, and there is no so-called paparazzi, because... the target person not only dares to beat you, but can also make you lose your job, and it is easy to even find a team of lawyers to "play" with you for a while.

So far, the only photo authorized by Lei Hao is the one from "Forbes Chinese Edition", and he has sent a letter asking the other party not to sub-authorize it anymore. Therefore, the circle has focused a lot of attention on ATE's short selling incident, but has not received any support from senior figures. Image data.

Lei Hao has encountered this kind of thing three or four times during this period. Someone will always come over to try his luck. Maybe when he bumps into a big shot and is in a good mood, he can ask a few words without taking a photo.

Of course, you have to risk being beaten. If Lei Hao is in a bad mood and lets the bodyguards beat you up, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky.

"You should submit your application through normal channels. As a friendly reminder, in Forest, people like Mr. Fox, Mr. Jarman, and Mr. Leo will occasionally be interviewed. Our boss will not accept it. Do you understand?" Paul enjoyed this very much. The feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

In the United States, a country where speech is very free, reprimanding a reporter is a rare experience. Journalists are also very good at communicating with strangers. As long as Paul opened his mouth, he would unknowingly get a few sentences, even though the other party would not use it for publication. , but the information gained is better than nothing.

After entering the company, Lei Hao had already forgotten about this matter. Li Yingfeng would handle the negotiation with the building management. When the other party appeared, Liu Hui and others were fully prepared. , there is no danger at all, this is enough, his job is financial investment.

But from this incident, Lei Hao also felt that after the SEC decided to investigate ATE and LEI, a lot of attention was focused on them.

The SEC issued an announcement before going to work. Within half an hour, people rushed over to get first-hand information, and financial reporters were also eager to do their best.

The employees of Forest are even more struggling. According to the information received last night, Lei Hao went back to sleep leisurely. Fox, Arman, and Leo were so busy that they only had time for three or four to sleep. Hour.

When Lei Hao saw the three pairs of panda eyes, he felt a little satisfied and a little embarrassed.

"Lei, I've communicated everything. For insurance companies, the SEC's deterrence is not enough. They guarantee that their defenses will not be breached in the short term." Fox and others waited in Lei Hao's office for almost ten minutes, watching. When the boss arrived, there was some resentment in everyone's eyes.

The subordinates are so busy working, boss, you go home and have a relaxing sleep. This is a bit intolerable.

"How short is the short term?" Lei Hao sat down in his seat, picked up the tea cup that Li Yingfeng had placed before leaving, and asked, "One day? Two days? One week?"

"Not sure." Fox said with some embarrassment: "Ley, you know, it's difficult to guarantee this kind of thing."

"As long as there are enough profits, they will dare to cooperate with the SEC people in the next second." Leo curled his lips, "Including insurance companies, financial institutions only pursue profits."

"Fortunately, the cost of breaking through the insurance company's defense line is too high, so the SEC people can only adopt roundabout tactics." Arman smiled happily and handed the document in his hand to Lei Hao, looking quite energetic. , said: "Lei, our research and analysis department has confirmed that you are right, the problem with ATE lies with the partnership company!"

Speaking of this, Fox and Leo also lifted their spirits, and their faces shone with excitement.

Whether it was Huang Shuhe or Yaman, the direction Lei Hao pointed out was to investigate the financial problems of ATE's partnership.

ATE is a listed company, so it is difficult to falsify its financial statements. However, it is strange that the financial status of unlisted partnerships and subsidiaries that did not originally hold a controlling stake but subsequently increased significantly has no problem with their financial status.

You know, if a company is burdened with debt, what will happen after it is reorganized? For example, with a valuation of 100 million and liabilities of 50 million, it can be split into two companies, one with assets of 50 million and no liabilities, and the other with assets of 50 million and liabilities of 50 million.

Then the two companies merged and became an independent but not independent enterprise. Suddenly you will find that some debts cannot be seen. This is the way the famous South Beauty operates.

Of course, the operation method will not be so simple and crude, and there are many things linked, but one thing is very important: the debt will not disappear, and the real financial situation exists objectively.

What Yalman needs to do is to deduce the variables through public information one by one. When the probability of something happening to each ATE partnership is 10%, ten can be described as 100% probability. What about fifteen? What about twenty?

"There is definitely something wrong with ATE, I am sure and sure! We will make a book profit! We will make a lot of expected profits! Our contracts will be very popular!" Yaman said with certainty.

"Lei, promise Bernard and the others." Fox suddenly said.

Lei Hao was stunned for a moment.
