America's Road to Fame

Chapter 139 True Surprise

When William Chen was exercising in the gym at home in the morning, the door of the room was suddenly opened. When he turned his head to look, he saw Paris in...a dress, really a dress, not only wearing a dress, wearing a hat, but also He even wears gloves of the same color.

Behind her were two videographers, carrying cameras, facing William Chen who was only wearing a pair of sports shorts.

"I said I couldn't find anyone. It turns out that you are exercising, William, look at you, you are covered in sweat..."

Paris said with a look of disgust.

William Chen quickly recovered from his stunned state, and said to Paris:

"Why didn't you notify me in advance and just come here?"

"Haha, this is a surprise, how about it, it's not a surprise."

I'm surprised you eggplant, if it wasn't for the camera, William Chen might have said this, but at this moment, under the filming, he could only say to Paris helplessly:
"Uh, Paris, this is really a surprise, just wait for me, I'll go take a shower."

After William Chen got out of the shower, he saw Paris and the photographer waiting for him in the living room. After William Chen appeared, the photographer turned on the camera and pointed at him. William Chen said to Paris with a smile :

"Let's cut out those just now, let's start over, shall we? Let's start with you entering the door, and then I open the door."

"That and that are conditional, William, I heard from Ivanta that your Chinese food is very good, I want you to cook me a delicious Chinese meal at noon today, if I am satisfied, then I will Considering your offer."

Paris said with a bit of arrogance.

"But I don't have any materials at home now."

William Chen knew that what Paris was talking about was in the episode she filmed with Ivanta before. Ivanta once told her with a bit of bragging that she tasted it when she was in Huaguo, and William Chen The craftsmanship of Chinese food is very good.

At that moment the camera caught Paris almost rolling her eyes.

What's interesting is that from the comments on the Internet, it can be known that in the first episode that Ivanta participated in, countless viewers were looking forward to the plots of their show.

Some people even deliberately recorded this program, looking for such a plot from the dialogue and expressions of the two people, so as soon as this scene appeared, it became popular on Twitter, and some people even took screenshots of this scene on the Internet, which was very popular .

Of course, this situation also fell into Paris's arms. The reason why she chose to invite Ivanta in the first episode of this reality show was for this effect.

The two of them are naturally tacit about this kind of thing. Through this kind of appearance and the popularity of the topic, the traffic of both of them has increased, which also helps the sales of their respective products.

"It's okay if you don't have materials. It's still early, William, we can go to the supermarket to buy them. Well, we should go to the supermarket in Chinatown."

In fact, the general content of today's filming, Paris also communicated with him last night, but Paris said that he would come in the afternoon, and this morning was really a surprise attack. Of course, the effect of the program was also there.

I have to say that Paris is quite experienced in filming this kind of reality show.

So at this time, William Chen made a helpless expression and said: "Okay, I promise you, then let's start by shooting again."

So Paris took the photographer out and knocked on William Chen's door. William Chen opened the door and said in surprise, "Paris, who are you?"

"Look, William is really at home."

After Paris finished speaking to the camera, she turned around and gave William Chen a hug, saying, "William, I'm filming a reality show about my friend today. You've seen the previous show, right? The main character today is you."

At that moment, when Paris warmly hugged her, to be honest, William Chen was really worried that she would habitually jump on him, so the scene was a bit embarrassing.

"Okay, we're done filming, now let's go to the supermarket to buy ingredients, William."

Uh, Paris immediately changed her face, and said to William Chen with a cold and arrogant expression.

But when William Chen and Paris walked out of their yard and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but look like they had seen a ghost, and said to Paris in disbelief:
"This...you actually..."

"Haha~" Paris looked at him proudly, and asked excitedly, "How about it, William, isn't it beautiful, this is the second surprise today~"

I should have guessed it!

In front of William Chen, the extended Bentley Elegant that he gave to Paris before has completely changed its appearance. The whole car was painted pink, and the bodyguard Nancy standing beside the car at this time also Wearing a pink suit, he was looking at William Chen helplessly.

"I just refitted it, doesn't it suit me well? I believe that after this program is broadcast, the manufacturer of Bentley will thank me for providing inspiration and is willing to launch a pink car..."

Of course they have to thank you, thank you eight generations of ancestors...William Chen watched Paris open the car door, and the interior inside was also changed into a pink one. For a moment, he really didn't see this scene.

"Uh...what a surprise, Paris, very...chic."

What could William Chen do at this time, he gritted his teeth and wanted to boast.

……

The shooting of the reality show this time was not complicated. After Paris accompanied William Chen to Chinatown to buy ingredients, and then with her help, William Chen finished a Chinese meal in a smooth manner.

After the two of them were arranged by Paris's team, filled with balloons and various specially-made tableware with their names on them, in that luxurious and pretentious environment, they chatted while eating in that luxurious and pretentious environment, and it was basically completed After shooting, a lot of interspersed introductions will be added later.

The next day, after William Chen came to Meta Investment Company, he learned that Goldman Sachs was very efficient and $16 billion had already arrived.

Yes, at the end of William Chen’s meeting with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein that day, he still made a partial concession to Goldman Sachs, allowing them to repurchase their guaranteed amount at the current price of 6 million US dollars CDS bonds with a total value of about US$10 billion.

As compensation for William Chen's concession, Goldman Sachs will give Meta Investment Company a long-term low-interest loan of US$10 billion.

Through such an operation, Lloyd Blankfein successfully recovered a loss of US$4 million for Goldman Sachs, and for a while, he was able to claim credit for the board of directors.

As for the low-interest loan of US$10 billion, it is different. This can be said to be a one-time loan business, and its nature is completely different.

In addition, the CDO bond short contract that will cause Meta Investment Company to earn more than 10 billion US dollars is much less important to him, because most of the counterparties of this contract are buyers of Goldman Sachs CDO bonds, although Therefore, they will be accused by these people of fraudulent behavior when they sold CDO bonds, but even without this part of the short contract, the number of CDO bonds they sold is still huge, and there is no substantial change.

For Chen William, he earned less than $4 million from Goldman Sachs, but it was not a big loss to get a loan of $10 billion with almost negligible interest. After all, with these funds, he could earn more The money received is much higher than the 4 million US dollars that was not earned.

Therefore, after knowing that the US$16 billion had been transferred to the account of Meta Investment Company, William Chen notified John Paulson to add these funds to short the four investment banks that were destined to suffer heavy losses in the subprime mortgage crisis. stock.

Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers, these four are the stocks Chen William chose to short this time, no more, no less, each with 4 million US dollars for shorting, anyway, their plate is also big, enough A short order with so much funds plus a certain amount of leverage can be accommodated.

William Chen even suspected that Goldman Sachs would follow him to short these usual competitors this time. Anyway, they had already recovered most of their losses, and there was really no need for any hesitation to switch camps now.

The capital market is like this. When there is a prey, all the wolves will rush to grab it; and when you make a mistake, you will also become the prey that is eaten.

ally?Only when you are strong enough, you are worthy of having allies. This truth has been vividly demonstrated by the Italians in the two wars.
