Seeing the performance of several girls in the same dormitory, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The next moment, she tried to remain calm and whispered:

"Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me a little scared."

"Jingjing, I'm sorry I can't travel with you guys during the summer vacation."

As soon as the words fell, the girl named Jingjing immediately smiled and said;

"I know you're going to be my boyfriend's personal secretary during the summer vacation. It's so enviable."

"Some guys will be disappointed if you don't travel with us, but it doesn't matter."

"Compared to my idol, they are as insignificant as weeds on the roadside"

"what!"

Zhou Xiao exclaimed and was about to make an excuse.

However, the girls in her dormitory did not give her this opportunity at all.

They rushed up and surrounded Zhou Xiao, and began to ask about the situation excitedly.

"Don't deny it. We heard it all clearly through the crack in the door. Tell me, when did you and Yao Yuan get together? That's amazing!"

"As far as I know, Yao Yuan has never had a girlfriend in a public relationship. I didn't expect his girlfriend to be you. This is so surprising!"

"Xiaoxiao, after you become Yao Yuan's personal secretary, you must not forget your roommates. From now on, we are your bodyguards and lackeys."

Zhou Xiao's pretty face instantly turned red, and she understood at the same time.

There is no point in quibbling anymore, it is better to admit it generously to save these guys from making wild guesses.

The next moment, she blushed and whispered:

"You've all been curious about who funded me, right? That person is Yao Yuan."

"But our relationship was innocent. He never even held my hand, and we only saw each other a few times a year. We were not boyfriend and girlfriend at all."

"He asked me to intern at the Chairman's Secretariat at Jiuye Investment's Beijing headquarters during the summer vacation. Now I am just studying and I am not his secretary yet."

"You must keep this a secret. Just keep it to yourself. I don't want to have a bad influence on Yao Yuan. He has helped our family so much!"

The other girls looked at each other quickly and laughed in unison.

"We understand. Isn't this the legendary training program? It's really romantic!"

"Hey! Why can't I be the beauty to be raised? I'm totally willing!"

Lingjing Hutong, Siheyuan.

Yao Yuan, who had just put down his phone and was about to go to the living room to drink sobering soup, suddenly felt his left eyelid twitching a few times.

"Hey! It's so late, there's still someone thinking about me, I wonder if it's a beauty or a guy who picks his toes"

He smiled and muttered a few words, then walked out of the study and went to the living room.

After entering the living room, he saw the hangover soup on the coffee table, which had already gone cold.

He walked straight forward, picked up the hangover soup and drank it all.

Then he picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and walked into the bedroom next door.

In the bedroom.

Liu Jingwen was lying on the bed, talking on the phone for a long time, her posture was quite seductive.

Seeing Yao Yuan coming in, she immediately covered the microphone of her phone and whispered:

"Honey, are you done? Have you drunk the hangover soup outside? I'm chatting with Xinran."

Yao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"It's not over yet. S&P and Moody's haven't issued an announcement yet. I guess we'll have to wait a while."

"I have finished the hangover soup. You can continue chatting with Xinran. I am going to the study."

After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom and went to the study.

In the blink of an eye, it was already around eleven o'clock in the evening.

After waiting for a long time, Yao Yuan finally received the good news he expected.

S&P was the first to issue a heavyweight announcement, targeting subprime mortgage bonds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds.

In this announcement, Standard & Poor's downgraded trillions of dollars of Fannie and Freddie Mac bonds directly to junk level, which means they have no investment value at all!

The ratings of an even larger number of subprime mortgage bonds were downgraded again, and are now only two levels away from junk bonds!

As soon as this bond rating report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the international financial market.

The share prices of the two housing companies plummeted in response, and the drop was so large that the circuit breaker was triggered in a blink of an eye. The drop in the bonds of the two housing companies was even more exaggerated, going straight to negative 20%.

None of the other financial institutions holding large amounts of subprime mortgage bonds escaped, and their stock prices began to plummet!

Seeing this scene, Yao Yuan cheered happily.

"Hahahaha, the two houses are completely finished, buddy made a fortune!"

He had anticipated this situation.

This scene had happened in my previous life, but it happened about a month later than this life.

In order to deal with the incident of the two housing bonds becoming junk-level, Jiuye Investment Group, the secret action team, and even many national financial institutions have already made preparations!

The international financial market tonight can definitely be described as being littered with corpses, blood, and wailing everywhere!

But for Jiuye Investment Group, the secret action team, and several state-owned financial institutions, it was a feast for reaping wealth!

Yao Yuan quickly glanced at the tragic situation of the U.S. stock market, then picked up his cell phone and prepared to call Uncle Qiu to report the good news!

After reporting to Uncle Qiu, he also had to call Director Li of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Zhou Chaoyang, Uncle Chen of the secret operations team and others to make some arrangements.

At this moment, perhaps they feel that S&P's bond rating report is not important enough, or perhaps they are unwilling to let their competitors take the lead!

Moody's and Fitch, two top rating agencies, actually released bond rating reports at the same time.

In their bond rating reports, the two housing bonds with a total value of trillions of dollars were also labeled as junk.

The credit ratings of some subprime mortgage bonds are even lower than those assigned by S&P, and are only one step away from junk level!

The release of these two bond rating reports immediately made the entire international financial market even more turbulent!

Faced with this situation, Yao Yuan smiled even more brightly and happily.

The next moment, he casually pressed the button on his cell phone and started calling Uncle Qiu.

What he was going to say this time did not need to be kept strictly confidential, so there was no need to use a military satellite phone.

It won’t be too late to get the military satellite phone later when I call Uncle Chen and adjust the investment strategy of the secret action team.

The call was quickly connected, and after actively identifying himself, Yao Yuan said excitedly:

"Uncle Qiu, the two housing agencies are finished! Now the only option left is to be fully taken over by the U.S. Treasury Department, otherwise they will have to go bankrupt!"

"Next, it depends on what the U.S. Treasury Department does. We must always pay attention to every move of the U.S. Treasury Department and then decide on the next course of action..."

Following his introduction, Uncle Qiu on the other end of the phone suddenly chuckled.

Although his laughter was not loud, it was hearty and hearty!

Across the ocean, Washington.

Ministry of Finance, Office of the Minister.

Paulson sat in his office chair with a grim face, his eyes wide open, staring at the computer screen.

What is displayed on the computer screen is the latest bond rating report just released by Standard & Poor's.

For Paulson, the junk ratings that the two housing agencies' bonds had just received were too glaring and made him extremely angry!

But he had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.

After a long silence, his emotions finally calmed down a little.

Then he reached out and picked up the phone on his desk and started calling Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

The call was connected quickly, and after saying hello, Paulson got straight to the point.

"Ben, I believe you have also seen the three bond rating reports just released by S&P, Moody's, and Fitch. What is coming has finally come!"

"In these three bond rating reports, trillions of dollars of Fannie and Freddie Mac bonds were downgraded to junk level, and the entire international financial market was shaken!"

"We cannot allow the two housing agencies to go bankrupt. We must put them under the receivership procedure of the Ministry of Finance. What do you think about this?"

Bernanke on the other end of the phone fell silent for a long time.

After a full minute of silence, Bernanke gave a helpless response.

"Henry, the Federal Reserve supports you 100% and supports the Treasury Department's full takeover of the two housing agencies."

"call!"

Paulson breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat relaxed.

The next moment, he continued:

"Thank you, Ben. With the full support of the Federal Reserve, there will be no problem for the Treasury Department to take over the two housing agencies!"

"I will call Geithner later and ask him to come to Washington, and then we will discuss the takeover plan together!"

"Okay, Henry, just give me a call when you've set a time."

Bernanke responded.

After a few more discussions, Paulson took the initiative to hang up the phone.

The next moment, he started calling New York Fed Chairman Geithner, trying to invite him to Washington over the weekend to discuss plans to take over the two housing agencies.

But Geithner refused him, saying that he wanted to take advantage of the weekend to spend time with his family and children, and prepare to go on an outing as a family to enjoy a moment of peace!

Paulson, who was rejected, just sat on the sofa in a daze.

After a moment, he finally figured out the reason.

Geithner's personal attitude has never changed, and he has always opposed the Treasury Department's rescue of the shameless two housing agencies.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he could not oppose it openly.

Because of this, he agreed over the phone to the Treasury Department's full takeover of the two housing agencies, but rejected Paulson's invitation and was unwilling to participate in the formulation of the takeover plan!

After realizing this, Paulson gave a helpless smile and secretly felt fortunate!

Fortunately, the election has not been held yet. If this matter is delayed until January next year, the two housing agencies will most likely go bankrupt instead of being taken over by the Ministry of Finance!

The US Treasury Secretary in January next year will most likely be Geithner!
