Legendary FBI Detective

In addition to the $475 million that Roan gave to Michael Bray to buy CDS financial products, there was also $80 million that Michael Bray used to short the stocks of investment companies such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

At the beginning, Michael Bray said that as long as the federal housing prices began to fall, the $450 million financial products could be exchanged for up to $3 billion.

Roan did not take the number Michael Bray said to heart, and he guessed that the number was $1 billion to $1.5 billion.

Roan knew the characteristics of those people in Wall Street too well. Turning off the power and unplugging the network cable were their best methods.

As expected, some time ago, New World Financial Company declared bankruptcy, and the federal people were extremely shocked. The federal housing prices fell accordingly. When it came time for the investment companies to pay for the financial products, these companies immediately started the old routine.

Goldman Sachs said that its computer system had an unexpected failure, Morgan Stanley said that the server host suddenly crashed for unknown reasons, and the Federal Bank was the same, saying that their switch was broken and there was an unexpected power outage.

There were many surprises and strange reasons. Michael Bray was so angry that he cursed loudly. After thinking carefully for a long time, he could see the words between the words. His mouth was full of two words: default.

Michael Bray was extremely angry, but Luo An was not very panicked about it, because the federal housing price fell, and CDS became the hardest currency at this stage.

CDS is a financial product that not only Michael Bray has purchased, but Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Federal Bank, etc. have also purchased a lot for themselves.

One hand is bullish on federal housing prices, and the other hand is bearish on federal housing prices, hedging risks, which is a routine operation of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs.

This means that when federal housing prices fall, investment companies such as Goldman Sachs are also profitable.

Investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley first sold all their financial products that are bullish on federal housing prices to downstream, and then took the initiative to find Michael Bray, wanting to buy CDS from him.

Michael Bray also understood the ideas of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs at this time.

It was impossible to get them to pay billions of dollars in compensation according to the CDS bet. The best option was to sell the CDS at a premium.

So Michael Bray began to negotiate with investment companies such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Federal Bank. While negotiating, he also shorted the stocks of several companies at the same time.

Goldman Sachs and other companies were not very angry about Michael Bray's behavior, because they were also shorting their own company's stocks. They made money, right? They were trembling.

Luo An took the folder handed to him by Michael Bray, stretched out his hand and slowly opened it, and a long number suddenly appeared in front of him: 1.846 billion US dollars.

"Wow."

Luo An's eyes lit up. This number was indeed beyond his expectations, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Michael Bray also smiled, and then handed Luo An another check, smiling:

"This is the profit from shorting the stocks of Goldman Sachs and other companies."

Luo An took the check, and the number on it was slightly less: 143 million US dollars.

"Sure enough."

Roan put the check into the folder, looked at Michael Bray with a smile on his face, and said:

"I knew that Michael Bray was the best investment expert on Wall Street."

Michael Bray grinned and said:

"Team Leader Roan is also the best client on Wall Street."

Looking at each other, they couldn't help laughing. Michael Bray took out two bottles of champagne, bang! bang! Two sounds of wine splashed, and both of them were soaked but no one cared, laughing:

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Invested 450 million + 80 million, a total of 540 million US dollars.

After more than ten months, the harvest was 1.846 billion + 143 million, a total of 1.989 billion US dollars.

Roan's eyes were shining, this was definitely the most successful investment in his life.

Michael Bray was also very excited. Roan's customers all paid him a large commission, and he himself used all his income over the years to buy CDS, and this time he also reaped a lot of rewards.

Michael Bray thought for a moment, took out a gold-plated business card from his desk and handed it to Roan, saying with a smile:

"Next weekend, I plan to hold a grand party in Hawaii, and Team Leader Roan must come."

After creating and purchasing CDS, the entire Wall Street mocked Michael Bray for having a problem with his brain in the next two years.

The owners of the funds controlled by Michael Bray cursed at Michael Bray and repeatedly asked to withdraw their funds.

Yesterday, Michael Bray successfully negotiated, and these fund owners immediately switched to another face seamlessly, praising Michael Bray for his vision and high level, and then happily took away their gains.

Michael Bray was disgusted by these people and wanted to vomit. Compared with those guys, Roan was definitely his favorite customer.

"Hold a party in Hawaii?"

Roan raised his eyebrows, took the business card and agreed. Michael Bray drank the champagne, then asked with a smile:

"How do you plan to celebrate next, Team Leader Roan?"

"Party, travel, eat, drink and have fun, whatever makes you happy."

Roan laughed, and then a gleam flashed in his eyes. He patted Michael Bray on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"But before that, I'm going to do something else first."

On Sunday, at 8:30 p.m., the special investigation team gathered in a restaurant in New York.

In addition to the special investigation team, Ryder, Augustus, Ryder's wife, Verines, and Elmer from the fifth investigation team were also there.

Mr. Clement didn't have time, so he sent his secretary over, and the secretary walked into the restaurant with Trick Kennedy.

"Happy birthday, Mona."

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Today is Mona's birthday. Everyone who sees her greets her with a smile. Mona responds with a smile, and Lacey follows her to greet and chat with her.

Finding some free time to walk aside, Mona took a sip of red wine and whispered to Lacey:

"I feel like my face is almost frozen from laughing."

"Me too."

Lacey smiled, then looked around, a hint of barely perceptible envy flashed in her eyes, and asked:

"Where's Luo An?"

"He went to the back to make the cake."

Mona put down the wine glass and complained:

"He's so secretive, he never let me see the cake, he said he wanted to give me a surprise."

Lacey's eyes moved slightly, and just as she was about to say something, someone else came over. Mona smiled and went over to chat, and Lacey had to swallow her words and followed.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was ten o'clock in the evening. The guests surrounded them, and Mona stood in the middle as the protagonist of the birthday party. Luo An, who had not appeared, finally came out from the back pushing a dining cart.

The dining cart was not very big, but there was a half-person-high insulation device on it, making it impossible to see the specific appearance of the cake inside.

"Happy birthday, Mona."

Roan pushed the dining cart from the crowd to Mona. Mona smiled and kissed Roan on the face gently, whispering:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Roan laughed, turned around and hugged Mona's slender waist, and said with a smile:

"Open it and take a look."

"OK."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Mona walked to the dining cart and reached out to take away the insulation. A seven-layered cake with different fruits on each layer and chocolate, candy, and flowers on the side appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow."

"So beautiful!"

Lacey, Chenier and others exclaimed with excitement, while Winslow and other men smiled and applauded.

Mona's face was full of happiness. She hugged Luo An's arm and said:

"Thank you very much. This is the best cake I have ever seen."

"As long as you like it."

Luo An smiled, then lit the candles on both sides of the cake one by one, and said:

"Next step, make a wish."

"Listen to you."

Mona let go of Luo An's arm, closed her eyes, put her hands together in front of her nose, and made a silent wish.

A few seconds later, Mona opened her eyes, and everyone began to cheer and distribute cakes and taste food. Luo An walked to Mona's side, looked at the lively scene in the restaurant with a smile, and whispered:

"Mona, I booked the best suite in the Gstaad Palace Hotel in the Alps for a week, we..."

"Wait a minute, Luo An, I have something to tell you."

Before Luo An finished speaking, Mona interrupted him, then she raised her head and stared at Luo An's eyes, whispering:

"I'm pregnant."

"?!"

————

Nine months later, Mona gave birth to a girl, and the father of the child was Luo An.

Because the shadow left by her mother was too great, Mona always refused to marry Luo An, and the two lived together and took care of the little new life together.

Luo An continued to lead the special investigation team to handle cases, and was promoted again two years later and entered the management level.

With someone behind him, sufficient qualifications, rich experience, and excellent ability, Luo An rose all the way with these four terms and became the youngest leader in the history of a department of the Ministry of Justice.

Luo An selectively ignored the praise, envy, jealousy and other emotions of those outside. He sat in the office of the Ministry of Justice and was analyzing which direction he should go next.

After thinking for a long time, Luo An slowly picked up Maximilian's identity information file, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly laughed:

"The deep government is very interesting."
