American Fortune Life

"... Many people's eyes are red, and some are even crying. No one answers our questions. They can only see employees from Lehman who are constantly walking out of the box holding luggage and dragging their luggage, and heading to the street to find a taxi."

Fresh and delicious yellow beef was constantly being sent into the mouth. Andy put down the knife and fork, and Shutai picked up the fresh orange juice on the side and took a sip, watching the amc news channel on the spot opposite the restaurant.

Looking at the south of Lehman Building, which now belongs to him, a "wall of shame" was erected, which was covered with photos of Fuld and Gregory, and marked "Ada and Agua"!

According to the report of the Lehman headquarters building, the huge trading hall of Lehman headquarters was filled with a terrible emotion. The employees were not only shocked but also extremely angry! Because their too many expectations are pinned on the company's stock price!

Andy knows that this emotion will persist for a long time to come!

Of course, all this is irrelevant to his victor.

However, for Fuld, for the rest of his life, not only the pain of the soul, but also the endless lawsuits, and the angry eyes of former subordinates and the public.

Even a few days after Lehman's bankruptcy, Andy saw in the newspaper that Fuld was exercising in Lehman's gymnasium when the protesters were beaten with bruises and swollen faces.

"I had to approve this deal because it was the only deal that could be done. Lehman Brothers became a victim. In fact, it is the only true sign of the tsunami in the credit market. This is the most impressive thing I have done in my career. Memorable bankruptcy trials. This can only be seen as a swan song. I can hardly imagine a similar emergency. "

On television, James Pike, the bankruptcy judge at the Manhattan court, looked so watery, faced the camera and reporters who surrounded him solemnly.

Andy sneered, took the white napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. He was still on the desktop, picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, walked out of the restaurant, came to the front of the cloak mirror, sorted it out, and said to the maid standing behind: "Don't bother Ivana and give her a good rest. I won't come back for lunch at noon."

"Okay, sir." The maid responded respectfully.

Andy strode out of the house, and took the bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time into the elevator. When he came to the first floor, the elevator door opened. Andy frowned slightly when he saw the front door of the building that was surrounded by water. .

"Mr. Smith, say something ..."

"Say something ..."

The bodyguards and the building security force strongly blocked the continuously crowded journalists, and Andy just walked towards the roadside car with a cold expression. Today's reporter did not ask questions randomly, just kept shouting to let him say What to order.

When walking to the car, Andy didn't rush to sit down in the car, but instead looked back at the expectant eyes, groaned, and said in a cold tone: "The Wall Street pattern in people's impression has passed! "

Having said that, there were no reporters who sat in the car, leaned on the seat, closed their eyes and stopped looking at the scene that had become more chaotic and noisy.

His sentence is enough for these media to report, because each house will have its own explanation. As an influential celebrity, there are some things that do not need to be explained, because there will be a lot of media to help interpret it. As long as he is responsible for letting The language has become concise enough to be 13 enough.

Wall Street, in English, means walled street. Dangdang's name is actually just a small street in Lower Manhattan, New York.

Originally a Dutch colony, Dutch colonists erected fences to prevent black slaves from escaping. In 1653, the wooden fence was reinforced into a one-meter-high wooden wall. In 1685, along the wooden walls, early New York planners delineated a road, which became Wall Street.

After a lapse of two years, Andy strolled this long street again. At this time, his mood and feeling had already changed. Two years ago, he took the excitement of his own, that unreal carefulness, ambitious Fearful, now wanting to come, also makes Andy can not help but smile at this moment.

He didn't care about the appearance of him and was surprised. He curiously followed the passers-by who took pictures with his mobile phone. Under the protection of more than a dozen bodyguards, Andy walked slowly to the big copper bull in Walling Park, Wall Street.

It is a park, but it is just a small green field. The reason why Americans mold copper bulls is that they are a good sign of a "bull market."

Andy looked at the front foot tilted down, his tail rolled up, his horns turned upwards, and he rushed forward to the left. He was very vivid and artistically tensioned, but at this moment it also became a wonderful irony.

Turning his head to the nearby exchange, he didn't stop, but continued to walk towards the building where Gaia's company was located not far ahead.

At this moment, Wall Street has been completely submerged by the financial tsunami. Financial giants are struggling in the exchange next to the copper bull. All traders are in a terrified state, and no one can be sure if their company still exists when another dawn is approaching, and if they still have the mood and opportunity to continue walking on this famous street, can they continue? Ambitious and hopeful looking at this big copper bull that is famous all over the world.

When Andy came to the floor of Gaia's company, he saw an extremely busy scene. Almost everyone used to run. The office hall was even more noisy. Many people held information in both hands. Crooked his neck and clamped the microphone and shouted loudly, so busy that no one bothered him.

With a smile on his face, Andy passed through the busy hall to help his subordinates hand over two documents. When he pushed away from Al's office, he saw the same sleeve of his shirt, the phone crooked around his neck, his hands turned. Information, Al kept talking in his mouth.

Seeing the big boss coming in, Al didn't get up to meet him, but pointed to the seat, and then continued to talk on the phone. However, the call ended quickly, and he smiled bitterly at the big boss who was sitting opposite him with a smile: Although we successfully bought those assets, the troubles came, and our own manpower was not enough ... "

Andy shrugged, took the coffee sent by Secretary Al, and smiled: "Take your time, don't worry, there are some we are going to use to kill people, as long as we maintain normal operation."

Acquired Lehman's headquarters building, US investment banking and capital markets business for $ 1.3 billion, while up to 9,000 Lehman brothers will be retained.

The Lehman headquarters building, valued at $ 1 billion, was valued at $ 800 million.

The $ 250 million spin-off of Lehman Brothers' North American business includes people, products, brand names, technology, and customers in two data centers, but does not include risky transactions and debt that put Lehman in a corner before filing for bankruptcy protection.

It also includes all of Lehman's $ 250 million investment banking and capital markets businesses in the United States, London, and Canada, including banking, commodities, swaps, and prime brokerage.

Price of cabbage!

It was a deal, but it was a real robbery. When Fuld signed the deal last night, he almost looked embarrassed and broke his teeth and couldn't wait to eat Andy. Some members of the board of directors who were present had red eyes. Now, the atmosphere was so depressed that many people couldn't breathe.

"Let ’s go, Al, let ’s spread the news now. We are interested in selling all the investment banking and capital market businesses we have just received from Lehman Brothers in the US, London, and Canada, so we can save a lot of manpower and material resources. "Andy put down a few sips of coffee and groaned.

"Do it now?" Al frowned slightly, then said, "This way, it may be underpriced ..."

"Hehe, lower the price? Tell the callers directly who want to pick up the cheap ones. Now these are high-quality assets, do not pay the price that matches them, let them wash and sleep! Show me what I mean! "Andy said with a sneer, although he didn't know who the cheaper assets were after Lehman's bankruptcy in the previous life, but he couldn't escape the few vultures that took the big advantage, such as Barclays Bank, mg chase.

But now that it is in his hands, how can it be that those who want to pick up the cheap will not be slaughtered by him?

(Andy robbed Lehman assets acquired by the fire and was actually annexed by Barclays Bank of the United States for 1.75 billion US dollars. These are the "short board" in Barclays Bank's business. The transaction was considered by Barclays' president "a lifetime difficult to find Opportunity".)
