Back to 1995

Chapter 1057
Alcatel Mobile, Google and other companies will definitely be listed on Nasdaq, everyone knows this, but when they will be listed, it depends on Song Yang's decision.

Harvey Pete is not sure whether he can wait until that time. If he can’t change the current mess of the American stock market, then he can stay in this position for a few days. He promises.

Although Harvey Pete is the confidant of the Little Cowboy, if there is too much opposition and the pressure of public opinion is too great, the Little Cowboy will definitely kick him away in order to get votes and support. It's just a sentence to stay.

"Harvey, Baker Hughes, is going to relaunch the Enron online platform, renamed the American Futures Energy Exchange, and I hope the Federal Securities Commission will support it!"

"America Energy Futures Exchange?!"

Chewing on the name, Harvey Pete inexplicably felt that this might not be another sharp tool for cutting leeks.

Song Yang didn't wait for Harvey Pete's reaction, and said directly, "America Energy Futures Exchange will issue some equity to raise funds for local and overseas investors in America. If you are interested in Harvey, you can let Family overseas foundation, subscribe for a part of the equity!

The Commander's family and Tom Delay and others can also subscribe for some shares in the energy futures exchange! "

Cutting leeks is about a long time. Any exchange, whether it is Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange, or the Chicago Board of Trade, the London Metal Exchange, etc., has a company behind it, such as Nasdaq. The companies on the Nasdaq Exchange have billions of dollars in annual revenue. The key is to ensure their income in droughts and floods. No matter what happens to those listed companies, no matter how bad the market is, Nasdaq companies will not go bankrupt anyway.

If the energy futures exchange wants to open, it must have the support of the Federal Securities Commission. If it wants to launch virtual currency transactions in the future, it also needs the support of the Federal Securities Commission.

After a while, Harvey Pete finally said, "I will let the Federal Securities Commission pass the audit of the American Energy Futures Exchange!"

Harvey Pete doesn't even know how many years he can stay in the position of the old uncle of the Federal Securities Commission, but if he gets the shares of the energy futures exchange, his family will get an industry that can be passed on for many years, and To achieve financial freedom.

Even if Harvey Pete doesn't do it, the commander-in-chief and a group of powerful figures on Capitol Hill will probably agree to Song Yang's request in the end. Who will refuse the tens of millions of dollars a year sent to the door? !
A party is being held at the RICK Club in Washington at the moment. If the reporters of current affairs news can come in, they will find many dissolute characters who are dancing with the dancers at the party at the moment, sitting on the sofa holding models and drinking drinks , It was the powerful figures in the Commander's Office and even Capitol Hill that they had worked so hard during the day to interview after a long appointment.

RICK's nightclubs have been greatly upgraded in the past few years, especially after playing with luxury goods, the taste has been upgraded a lot, and the original vulgar nightclub style is gone forever.

Like the RICK club in Washington, it has been transformed into an invitation-only private club, and strict security measures have been used throughout the club.

Those who want to enter the club will be sent by RICK Club to pick them up with security personnel. When they leave, they will be sent back in the same way. When entering the club, they have to go through multiple security checks. Even mobile phones, voice recorders, etc. are blocked in certain places in the club. Out of service.

But even so, after the opening of this RICK private club in Washington, it is still full of people and has become the most popular place for powerful people in Washington.

The whole RICK club is inconspicuous on the outside, but the inside is not small, with entertainment, hotels, restaurants, etc., of course, correspondingly, the fees are quite expensive.

In today's gathering, the most eye-catching person is Paulson, who is the federal treasurer. Unlike Harvey Pete, who has suffered a lot, Paulson, who came to Washington from Wall Street, still lives a life of The wind is booming, and the power is not worse than before, and even better!
He was originally from Wall Street and entered his official career through the revolving door of Goldman Sachs. Paulson himself represents Wall Street. The general and the people in the White House office are not from the economic industry, which makes Paulson have a faint tendency to monopolize the federal financial power.

As long as the economic bill enacted by Paulson is basically signed and passed by the commander-in-chief, Capitol Hill is also unimpeded. Of course, correspondingly, Paulson has gradually let go of the reins around the necks of Wall Street institutions. more and more unscrupulous...

Now Paulson can be said to have reached a new pinnacle in his life. Not only Wall Street, but even the entire American economy is turning under his baton.

For the choice of entering the revolving door, Paulson is quite proud. His departure is not only the blame for the collapse of the Nasdaq.

Stimulated by the drinks, Paulson's face was even more radiant, and his gestures were full of the demeanor of a big man. Now Paulson is the most powerful person in America, and no one can object to this.

Paulson was chatting and laughing with a girl next to him. Many of the people sitting beside him were big federal figures, and most of them had backgrounds in Goldman Sachs, such as John Thain, the president of the New York Stock Exchange, Guy Gary, the director of the Federal Budget Committee. Rui, Lawrence, director of the Federal Economic Commission, and others are all from Goldman Sachs, and now they are all in high positions. They are also contacts that Goldman Sachs has painstakingly managed over the years.

These people are naturally closely related to Paulson, and they are die-hard supporters of Paulson. Only Paulson is the saddle. As long as Paulson decides, they can basically pass through unimpeded. Paulson's position , if it were someone else, it would have been difficult for him to move forward, and if he was not careful, he would have to take the blame and leave.

While drinking, Paulson's assistant came in, whispered something in Paulson's ear, and handed a mobile phone to Paulson.

"Lloyd?"

Paulson frowned slightly. The caller was Paulson's successor, Lloyd Blankfein, the new president of Goldman Sachs. Before leaving Goldman Sachs, Paulson also made a lot of preparations. To ensure that his confidant Lloyd became the new president of Goldman Sachs, he prepared a way out for himself.

Going in and out of the revolving door is very common for Paulson and the others. If the position of federal treasurer can no longer be maintained, then Paulson can still pat his ass and go back to the Goldman Sachs board of directors to continue to be his own wolf of Wall Street.

And even with a firm foothold, Paulson can't do without the support of Goldman Sachs, just like John Thain, Gary, Lawrence and others, they all use Goldman Sachs as a link to stand with Paulson .

Since taking office, although Paulson has not deliberately provided much convenience and support for Goldman Sachs, everyone knows his relationship with Goldman Sachs, and they all understand that during his tenure as Federal Finance Minister, Goldman Sachs will be promoted to a higher level. Floor, become the undisputed overlord of Wall Street.

Arriving in a new soundproof room, Paulson answered the phone, "Lloyd, you know, I've just settled down in this position, not the time to deal with "private matters"!"

Hearing Paulson's voice, even though the other party was no longer at Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein almost stood up after years of accumulating power.

"I know, Mr. Paulson...but this is important. Goldman Sachs has received word that Baker Hughes, which is owned by Bruno Song, is going to relaunch the Enron online platform. Once it happens, it will be The fourth largest exchange in America, and there may be new big moves, this is an energy futures trading platform with an annual transaction volume of more than 2000 billion US dollars.

You should be aware of Bruno Song's style. With this platform in his hands, there may be even greater changes. Goldman Sachs cannot allow this opportunity to be missed. Futures trading and derivatives are currently the most important revenue business for Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs needs This platform! "

Lloyd Blankfein said to Paulson that he had never dealt with Song Yang, and it was always Paulson who came forward before. He made this call because he hoped to use Paulson's power to let Song Yang Goldman Sachs got more shares in the American Energy Futures Exchange from Song Yang!
