American Fortune Life

To be honest, the year-end dividend reward of 100 million US dollars seems a bit shabby ...

Shabby?

Indeed, the subprime loan crisis led to Morgan Stanley, which lost $ 9.4 billion in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, and this year's total bonuses paid to employees increased by 18% from last year to $ 16.6 billion.

Lehman, which just announced its fourth-quarter earnings of $ 870 million, has awarded $ 9.5 billion in bonuses. Of this amount, $ 5.7 billion was dividends. Goldman Sachs Group's total bonus distribution increased by 0% to $ 0.1 billion, which means that its bonuses in addition to infrared are $ 1 billion.

Of course, there is also a problem with the size of the company and the number of employees. If we only talk about the average value of year-end bonuses that ordinary employees can get, Andy's Liberty City Investment Company will exceed the average level of the entire Wall Street, and everyone can get millions of year-end bonuses.

Cheers, excitement, are inevitable. After all, this year, this group of young Wall Street nen has grown up through transactions again and again, and everyone has entered the ranks of millionaires. This has to be said that investment banks in Wall Street China is also the most eye-catching landscape.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive bottle openings of champagne regained the atmosphere of celebration and cheering in the office lobby. Watching the golden bottle of spades a champagne poured into the goblet, Andy smiled a little.

"Boss, this group of little guys will start to make a fool, let's go upstairs." Bardstone's forehead appeared a little black line. He saw that several **** had started calling for women, and it might be There will be some things that shouldn't appear. Although he repels them, this is not a contraband on Wall Street, just like cigarettes. After all, the pressure of this group of people is not similar to that of ordinary people.

With a smile on his face, Andy drank the champagne in his glass, lowered the glass, and said to Bardstone, "Go, it's yours!"

Bardstone was also a little excited, and the smile on his face became brighter. No one would not look forward to the year-end award. This is a tribute to hard work for a year and a manifestation of his own value.

In the bright and modern Andy's office of Gaia Information Investment Company, the little assistant Tori Black who had already rushed over delivered two cups of coffee, and looked back at Andy's eyes full of resentment, but still very sensible twist Leaving the office with a slender waist wrapped in an ol skirt and Alice Pigu.

Andy picked up the coffee, took a sip, nodded in satisfaction, or the little assistant made the coffee to taste, put down the coffee cup, and looked at the expectant face with a smile, smiling: "Bud, remember our first A scene of a meeting? "

"Well, it was like yesterday, thank you for your boss's trust and support!" Bardstone first stagnated for a while, then narrowed his eyes as if in memory, and finally showed gratitude on his face.

"Look, what I'm saying, you won't regret your decision, and I won't regret choosing you!" Andy smiled, took out the checkbook from his suit pocket, and from the pen holder on the table Take out a signature pen and finish writing quickly.

"Stab it"

"Look at it with dissatisfaction." Andy smiled lightly, and handed the torn check with **** to Bardstone.

Bardstone hurriedly put down the coffee cup, took the check with both hands, and looked at the number on the check with anticipation. The first number was 3, followed by a long string of 0s. His heart was beating a bit inexorably. Ten million dollars!

Far more than his basic annual salary of $ 1 million, this figure not only demonstrates his ability to lead the Free City company to ride Wall Street, but also praises for capturing various opportunities in the subprime crisis.

"Hoo ~ Thank you, boss!" A red flush appeared on Bardstone's face, suppressing his inner excitement, exhaling deeply, and thanking Andy.

"This is what you deserve, and I look forward to Freedom City Investment Company making more impressive profits under your leadership. I said that I have never been a shy person."

Andy smiled, nodded to Bardstone, reached down and pressed the answering machine on his desk, and said to the speaker, "Let John come in."

Under Bardstone's gaze, Andy began distributing cash checks of five million dollars each to several executives.

By the time distribution is completed, Andy has cut off the profit on the book by 160 million. The rest ca n’t be cut anymore. After all, he has to pay part of the tax. He does n’t want to leave a stain on this issue. In the United States, murder may be able to find ways to evade legal sanctions, but once tax issues arise, it is more difficult than homicide to get rid of.

The great joy of the year-end bonus was temporarily suppressed by Bardstone. He had already thought about it and wanted to go home and celebrate with his wife. To be honest, the previous Bardstone was cautious and conservative, even if he was very talented. Because of the conservative investment philosophy, ordinary investors are not pleased, and his dividends are gone.

Although it belongs to the wealthy class, it is far worse than those of the former colleagues who lived in the super mansion at the same time and started the super-running. Finally, 30 years Hedong, 30 years Hexi, finally they have to let their family live thousands The days of a millionaire.

"... The price of gold futures for delivery in next month has been suppressed below $ 820 per ounce, which has become a pressure point, and has been oscillating around the price of $ 815 per ounce. According to our observation, there are funds that are oscillating. Laundering. "

When only Bardstone and Andy were left in the office, Bardstone spoke of a recent analysis.

"What is the profit amount of my batch of gold now?" Andy touched his chin with his left hand, and a signing pen between his right fingers quickly rotated.

"One billion two hundred million, and hundreds of thousands of fractions, that is to say, my 172 tons of gold is now worth five billion two hundred million US dollars, but ... you wait." Andy put down the shelf to work in the office Feet on the table, reached down and pressed the transponder.

"Torri, let Arvitt come over."

To be honest, even though Andy now has $ 12 billion in quick settlement cash in hand, he also owes a bank of 6 billion loans. Although most of the loans were passed on to the acquired Marvel, AM Cable TV, and Operating with various capitals, lending his personal money to various teams, even the Rockets now owe him $ 200 million.

His method of passing on his debts to the company is also for reasonable tax avoidance, so that the companies' books can always maintain losses, and then use the company's profit to help him repay bank loans.

In this way, Andy personally got rid of the debt situation, and his personal financial situation became excellent. Except for the few it companies that have not been established for a long time, the mocking bird game company and the copyright company, there is no debt, and all of them are in loss. , Of course, just refers to the book.

By the way, there is also no debt for the Spurs club in the UK, and the profitability is very good. That is the chip that Andy is preparing to implement the British plan.

"Well."

"Come in. Al, just waiting for you, sit, Tori, and make a cup of coffee for Al."

Alvitrie and Bardstone nodded with smiles, and sat across from Andy with Bard. "Boss, I just received a message. I wonder if you are interested?" 8)
