American Fortune Life

Desperately, at the end of the day, neither Bank of America nor Barclays showed any further interest in the transaction, nor did the government have the authority to inject capital. Lehman has only the last $ 2 billion in cash left. If no solution is found on the weekend, the next Monday is a corpse.

And all the big guys in the Fed building know that Bank of America, the selected acquirer, has no interest in Lehman from beginning to end, and they are frowning with Merrill Lynch.

However, what makes everyone feel funny is that although Merrill Lynch tried to arouse the Bank of America's interest in mergers and acquisitions, it was secretive. It seems that it really treats the characters and has never been out of the court, but merged with everyone. There is a dang woman on the bottom. He does n’t know how many he lost, and he also pretends to be pure.

Paulson and Geithner understood that only the British were interested in acquiring Lehman. As a precaution, when Andy stretched out and stood in front of the elevator to leave, stopped by Paulson's chief of staff, Andy looked at the time and frowned. "It's half past ten, and I'm not going to sleep. Let me talk about something tomorrow."

Hamilton stepped forward with a wry smile, and after whispering in Andy's ears, Andy rolled his eyes and said to Al around him, "Let's go and see. Everyone go back to rest ..."

Under the guidance of Hamilton, Andy and Al walked into the meeting room and saw the four people present, Paulson, Geithner, Lehman Ceo Fold and Warren Buffett. After saying hello, I sat down.

Listening to the true words of Paulson and Geithner, I hope that the two can invest in Lehman, and the arrogant face of Fold is also sad. The words are touching, and the appeal of Niao is inspiring, and Buffett and Andy agree. Glancing at each other, they all saw the meaning of Jian Jian and precautions from the other party's eyes.

Both were very embarrassed by some of Lehman's businesses and assets, but no one wanted to speak first. For a moment, the conference room fell into silence.

The first to break the silence was the anxious Fuld, but the price he offered made both Andy and Buffett immediately lose the interest to continue talking.

$ 42 billion! Lehman took home. . .

Andy would like to sneer at his sneer, but now is not the time to be happy. He wants to make a profit, but also needs the three people in front of him to open the door to convenience.

"21 billion, if I agree, I will inject capital, but I need to use some assets and business as collateral ..."

The shameless Buffett started Barbara's speech. The lions spoke in praise of him, Nima, what preferred stocks, and the requirements made were very harsh. You can understand the old hooligan by looking at Fold's blackened face. How hot Buffett is.

Andy has been calmly watching the old hooligan killing Lehman with a knife. He didn't annex the whole Lehman idea originally, and naturally he would not open any harsh conditions to make people annoying.

"Mr. Smith, how about you?" Geithner asked when he saw Fuld and Buffett about to collapse and asked, hoping to ease the tension.

Andy shrugged, and said helplessly: "I can't eat it, I can't afford that much money ..."

"We at the Federal Reserve are willing to guarantee you ..."

Andy rolled his eyes and squinted at Geithner and said lightly, "I have too much debt and I can't sleep!"

"Ahem ..."

A few people in the conference room were coughed up by Andy's words, and then Andy did not care about his high-hanging appearance, stopped talking, and did not let him wait long, 10 minutes. Later, after a thorough talk, Andy shrugged and greeted him, and stood up and patted Pigu out of the conference room.

After taking Al downstairs, Andy said to Al: "Get on my car and don't rush to leave ..."

Al blinked slightly, nodded, and followed Andy into the spacious suv. Without waiting long, he saw the tall, but exhausted, Fuld appeared at the door of the building.

"Kenny, ask Mr. Fuld to come and say that I have something to talk to him."

After Kenny nodded, he opened the door and hurriedly ushered in. Through the window, Andy saw Fuld's gaze cast over, lowered the window, Andy waved with a smile, and then Fuld Hurry up and get in the car.

"Andy, what do you want, let's talk!"

Andy was not upset by Fold's direct and blunt words, but said with a smile: "I heard that you only have $ 2 billion in cash on your account? I wonder if you have sold some real estate. Surviving thoughts? "

Fold smiled at himself, then frowned, "Please continue."

"Oh, 1 billion cash was paid in one go. I bought the 13 buildings in your hands!"

Fuld looked stern and looked coldly at Andy with a smirk, almost gritted his teeth and said, "They have a market value of 4.2 billion!"

"It was 2006, but now in 2008, Fuld, at this moment, with this one billion, maybe you can stick to it for a while, maybe it will really turn around, Lehman needs most now Time, what do you think? "

"Impossible! You're extortion. Even if we mortgage a bank loan, it's more than that ..."

"Oh, is it? Will there be a bank loan to you Lehman?" Andy leaned on the seat of the car, his mouth slightly tilted, said with a sneer, his eyes exuding sharp eyes.

"Fold, don't deceive yourself. The world is waiting for the moment you fall. Once Lehman Corporation announces its failure, Wall Street, Europeans, and financial companies of the pedestal will see the newly fallen as vultures. The dead bodies swarmed up, robbing Lehman's corpses of useful "component organs" at much lower prices than the original bid.

You expect Paulson and the Federal Reserve to save you, haha, do you think you are Goldman Sachs or mg Stanley? You, a grassroots upstart in Lehman, also want to be treated as a nobleman, and you want more! "

Fuld's eyes were wide open, his anger made him look red, his fists clenched, his lips trembling slightly, and he looked at the handsome young man who was cruel and cruel at the moment, and could not wait to throw him two punches. .

"call--"

Fuld was like a discouraged ball. The spirit of spirit seemed to be taken away at once, and he smiled and said to himself: "Although cruel, you are the only one who tells the truth. They Waiting for Lehman to go bankrupt immediately ... ridiculously, the board of directors is still trying to save opponents who had wanted to die ... "

As he said, Fuld opened the door and walked out of the car with his body in shape. Andy just narrowed his eyes and didn't speak to the other side again, waiting silently.

After taking a step away from the frustrated Fuld, a complex and inexplicable expression appeared on his unusually pale face under the street light. He looked down at the window and looked at him Andy silently. "Tomorrow at eight thirty, Not expired ... "

"Drive!"

The corner of Andy's mouth turned up. As the window rose, the smile on his face became brighter, while Al just took off his glasses and slowly wiped it with a handkerchief. He said lightly, "Boss, what we are doing now is It's not too early, and maybe even cheaper when they go bankrupt. "

"I'm only interested in these 13 commercial buildings worth 40 billion real estate. I don't want the others. The key is that these 13 buildings are concentrated in the four cities of London, Berlin, New York, and San Francisco. At that time, do you think the bankruptcy consulting company will be split up and sold to me?

Those vultures will not give up the opportunity to earn high commissions, so the opportunity is rare. Tomorrow you will do it in person and buy it in the name of Gaia! Andy looked at Al commanded.
