"Who? Oh, Boris, are you sure you want to know? You know you owe me twice ..."

After a night of strife, Andy was awakened by a phone call in the morning, helped Lima, who was still asleep, covered the blanket, picked up a nightgown from the ground, put it on, yawned, and took it as he walked. Teased the phone.

"Hey, Andy, you know that my campaign is at a critical time, and the answer will be announced in May. I have a dedication to the Mayor of London. As my good friend, you will support me, right?"

Hearing the big mouth of Boris Johnson's suit, Andy showed a sneer in the corner of his mouth, and still smiled and said, "Of course, man, I certainly support you, but Boris, this is the third time ..."

"Damn, dear friend, rest assured. After I take over, I will help you solve the White Hart Lane thing as soon as possible. Oh my god, you are such a bastard!"

"Hey Boris, don't you have a bad tone! How many jobs can a new stadium solve for London? Now there are layoffs in the world and a large number of people are unemployed. I'm helping you!" Andy sat down On the sofa, Erlang's legs were raised, and he took the fresh fruit juice handed over by the maid and laughed while drinking.

"Damn, but what you want is net land, and a guarantee from the City of London, and an interest-free loan for the money to build the stadium. Gosh, you greedy guy, okay, maybe this is how you can rank in Forbes 20. Name reason! "

Andy sneered, "Don't forget Boris, Tottenham is one of the low-income families in London, the highest unemployment and poorest area in London. If your city government does not come forward, I will buy that How much time and money will be spent on a piece of land?

In addition, the new stadium will bring new economic vitality, and let those poor people have a choice of careers. Otherwise, huh, young people who do nothing will use riots and violence to attract your attention! "

"Okay, okay, man, you are always right, and I also hope that the forgotten area is getting better, there is something in the minds of Londoners, and I don't think of a way, this tumor will kill Greater London, I will It ’s my commitment to make it all possible. If it does n’t work out, I agree and help you move the stadium away from Tottenham ... well, damn, now tell me who is who? ”

"Oh, who else, ranked 46th on the world's richest list, the prince's godfather, the richest man in the UK, the Duke of Westminster ..." Andy said with a sinister smile.

"hiss"

Boris's breath-sucking sound came from the phone, followed by a deep breath, "Andy, Andy, my dearest friend, please don't expose ... Damn it, he will make Britain a laughing stock of the world ... "

After Andy spoke a few words, he hung up the phone. He didn't want to listen to Boris' chatter, but from Boris's words, he had learned that the report made the entire British pigu dirty politicians sleepless. They were both worried about themselves and suffered the same bad luck as Spitzer.

"Nima, the British guy just owes a lot of money. Wasn't it a humorous hype before? I'm so sorry for you now!"

At the same time, at 5 am New York time, Paulson, Geithner, Bernanke, Cox of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, etc. opened a conference call and connected to MG Jamson's EO Jamie Dimon.

"The failure of Bear Stearns will be a disaster for the market. The key is to make Bear Stearns survive this period of time ..." Dimon of mg chase emphasized on the phone.

"The problem is that now your bids are unacceptable to the entire Wall Street and shareholders and employees who hold a third of Bear Stearns' shares. I hope you can consider the purchase price again!" Bernanke glanced around Treasury Secretary Paulson said to the phone.

"Well, we need a day to sort out Bear Stearns' books, and before night falls, we will quote again ..."

"Dimon, I spoke to former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker on the phone, and he also said that the current situation is terrible and is likely to get worse. If Bear Stearns falls, it will get the situation out of control. I hope you guys Think carefully! "Said Fed Chairman Bernanke in a heavy voice. ...

After the conference call, Bernanke looked at Treasury Secretary Paulson and said, "What does the president say?"

"The President supports the rescue of Bear Stearns. Later, he will speak at the athletic club in New York, and has deleted the word" who will not help "in the speech." Paulson slightly nodded.

"I am afraid that without the support of the Federal Reserve, mg chase will not take over Bear Stearns ..."

Paulson froze slightly, looking at Bernanke shaking his head with a stunned expression, "What happened again?"

"Almost three-quarters of Bear Stearns' assets are subprime loans. No matter what the price is, he will not want these assets ..."

"Xiete!" Paulson turned black, patted the table with helplessness and anger in his expression, "This bastard! Once the Fed opens its mouth, the risk will be enlarged again!"

"I also understand that no one can predict how many financial institutions will need money, and no one can predict how much they will borrow. Once the lender cannot repay the loan, the Fed will also suffer heavy losses. In the end, in order to avoid the collapse of the financial system, It will still pass the losses on to Nashui, and save Wall Street interests at the expense of the public interest. As a result, the Fed's own credit will be greatly weakened.

But, is there any other way now? Wall Street is now like a sieve full of holes, and there is a group of greedy sharks roaming outside, waiting for the timing to come up ... "

The small conference room fell into silence, leaving only a few helpless sighs, which was the door knocked.

"Gerald, didn't you sleep all night?" Paulson saw the chief staff member walking in, his eyes bloodshot, but he was agitated and frowned and asked.

"Minister, I know who Gaia's next goal is!"

Paulson didn't respond, but looked at the excited expression of the staff member, blinked his eyes, and asked something eagerly: "Andy Smith?"

"Yes, their next target is Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch has suffered losses of up to $ 15 billion due to mortgage investment ..."

Paulson and Bernanke glanced at each other, and both saw anxiety in each other's eyes, listening to the explanations of the staff and displaying various data analysis materials in front of them.

"So, they have almost completed the layout, and I do n’t know when the plan will be started. According to my speculations about the past cases of Andy Smith's character and his think tank, they like to borrow the market trend and are very helpful Good at it, because once the scale is formed, even if good news or rescue is introduced, they can take advantage of the time difference and leave. It took them three months to finish the layout. This time, Merrill Lynch may be more serious than Bear Stearns! "

Both Paulson and Bernanke's faces changed at the same time. For this Andy Smith, who has huge amounts of cash and is running rampant everywhere, they are not only afraid of it!
