Society owes me a brother

Lehman again?

Lu Chi frowned, always felt that Lehman's appearance rate in the past two days was a bit high!

His slender fingers tapped on the edge of the car window, and Lu Chi squinted his eyes slightly. He couldn't help but think of what he said inadvertently when he met Lei Ting in the morning.

Noticing his friend's murmur, the handsome and sunny blond guy pulled the corners of his mouth, his eight snow-white teeth gleamed under the sunlight, like a great white shark swimming wantonly in the blue water: "What are you thinking, my friend?" friend?"

"I always feel that you are going to make trouble." His slender fingers continued to tap on the edge of the car window, and Lu Chi rested his chin with the other hand, and said thoughtfully.

Matthew Locke raised his eyebrows, and his perfect smile remained unchanged: "Why do you say that, where did you hear about it?"

This kind of answer... is really going to do something?

Never doubting the subjective initiative of capital seeking profit, nor the greedy desire of Wall Street when seeing huge profits, Lu Chi's eyes continued to stay on Matthew Locke's face, his brain was running fast, but his mouth responded very casually. Said: "Intuition."

Matthew Locke: "..."

"The intuition of a financial genius?" Matthew Locke suddenly leaned forward, carefully observing every expression of Lu Chi.A little unbelievable exclamation: "No data analysis? No data induction? Is it pure intuition?"

Lu Chi nodded.

Matthew Locke sighed, shook his head and said, "It's getting more and more excessive. Ordinary people are not allowed to live."

Hearing this, Lu Chi spread his hands innocently: "Don't be emotional about this. Let's talk about what big things you guys want to make?"

"This matter!" Matthew Locke honked the horn a little discouraged, and said, "Let my father tell you personally."

As he said that, Matthew Locke stepped on the accelerator as if venting his anger, and the red supercar roared towards the office building of the Locke Group on Wall Street.

Because the Rock Group was going to host a financial summit, when the supercar arrived at the Rock Group office building, there were already cars parked nearby.There are also well-known financial media from country M and other countries around the world standing in front of the gate to do interviews.

When Matthew Locke's red supercar turned the corner, it had already attracted media reporters who were waiting for a rabbit.When a group of reporters with excellent eyesight saw Lu Chi and Matthew Locke sitting safely on the supercar, they immediately shouted excitedly.In an instant, the red supercar was surrounded by media reporters with long guns and short microphones.Matthew Locke had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately pressed the carport and the window.

Looking at the dense zombie-like crowd around him, Lu Chi had a splitting headache, and instantly felt like he was about to have a dense phobia.

Matthew Locke immediately called the group security department.In less than half a minute, a group of big men in uniform rushed out of the Locke Building, separated from the media reporters who risked their lives to interview Lu Chi, and escorted Lu Chi and Matthew Locke into the building.

Several other Wall Street tycoons still staying in the lobby on the first floor saw this, and couldn't help laughing and teasing: "As expected of us, the most eye-catching genius boss on Wall Street. Looking at the crazy posture of the reporters outside, I seem to see The red carpet at the Oscars."

Lu Chi smiled and waved his hands, and said solemnly to everyone: "Since the Oscar is mentioned, my brother's film is applying for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Don't forget to give your support."

All the bigwigs smiled when they heard the words, and smiled happily: "Don't worry. We will definitely support the movie of the best actor Lu."

"It's called "Rejuvenation", right?" One of the bosses said with a smile: "I've seen it, and it's a very good movie. But I'm curious, is Huaxia's medical skills really as amazing as shown in the movie? ?”

"I can assure you of this. Haven't you heard of the gossip during the filming? The actor who played the leading actor, Lu Actor, used Chinese medical skills to personally save an actor who almost died on the set of Country Y. This news was very popular at the time. sensation."

"That said, I seem to have a little impression..."

Seeing that a group of bigwigs gathered to gossip without any pressure, and they kept the topic farther and farther.The Locke Group employees who were in charge of welcoming the guests could only keep their impeccable smiles and stood beside them without saying a word.These looks are definitely above the aesthetic line. The female staff members with exquisite makeup and good figure are like soldiers who have appeared on the battlefield. While attracting the attention of the guys, without appearing abrupt and rash, the most important thing is to lead the guests to the conference hall on the top floor within the specified time.

However, things backfired. Seeing Lu Chi and a group of Wall Street tycoons standing in the lobby chatting in groups, the guests who came in later paused and walked over.As a result, Lu Chi and others, who were already very eye-catching, directly turned into magnets.In a short while, all the bigwigs who participated in the financial summit were attracted.

And because the bosses were all chatting in the lobby, some invited foreign counterparts, experts and professors met with them, and they all waited outside with smiles, especially when they were surrounded by many bosses. In the middle is Lu Chi, who refuses to be interviewed by the media all the year round, and is also unwilling to attend various social occasions. He is a conservative and outrageous Wall Street boss who rarely appears in public. He is a financial colleague who has long been friends with him. Of course, we all want to take this opportunity to get to know each other.Including some internationally renowned experts and professors who specialize in finance and global economic trends, there are also many people who want to have a face-to-face discussion with Lu Chi.

And for those colleagues whose status and status may not be enough to break through the walls of the big bosses and stand in front of Lu Chi, even if Lu Chi can't let Lu Chi know himself on this occasion, as long as they can take the same elevator, they can prepare for future meetings. Condoms are almost fine too.

There are quite a few people who have this idea.So more and more people gathered in the lobby on the first floor.This made the latecomers who came in afterward not aware of the situation, and it was not easy to go upstairs first.So I waited on the periphery, thinking about acting with everyone.

As a result, more and more people gathered in the hall, and it became more and more noisy.The general atmosphere of the vegetable market really tarnished the lofty image of the Locke Group.Seeing this, the female staff responsible for guiding the guests saw that, although they still kept impeccable smiles on their faces, no matter how they looked at them, they were a little helpless and pitiful.

Seeing this, Matthew Locke, who was by Lu Chi's side, smiled at the female staff responsible for guiding the guests very pitifully.Then, he reached out and patted the Wall Street tycoon who was addicted to selling his brother Amway, and said with a smile: "How about, let's go upstairs first."

When Lu Chi came back to his senses, he noticed more and more people gathered in the hall.He stopped Amway a little bit, nodded and said, "Let's go."

So a group of bigwigs surrounded Lu Chi and clattered into the elevator.Seeing that the source of the magnet had left, the female staff responsible for leading the guests finally breathed a sigh of relief, and arranged for other guests to go upstairs in an orderly manner.

As the chairman of the Locke Group, Mr. Old Locke was already in the company early in the morning.After seeing Lu Chi, this old man who is always a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes opened his arms and gave Lu Chi a warm hug. He didn't forget to pat Lu Chi on the back, and said with a smile: "Listen to your brother's movie It has already been screened in Hollywood. The response is very good. I think there should be no problem in being shortlisted for Oscars. Moreover, Lingdi’s crew also hired Wayne & Co. for public relations. Wayne & Co. has great power in Hollywood. With their help, plus Based on the quality of this film, I believe it should be no problem to win an Oscar."

"Then I will accept your good words." Lu Chi smiled and thanked: "If my brother really wins the Oscar, I will treat everyone to dinner later."

The social insulator is throwing a party to celebrate?A group of bigwigs looked at each other and smiled unconsciously.The newly minted Mr. Billionaire really cares about his younger brother.Some colleagues who can also talk in Hollywood blinked their eyes thoughtfully, and couldn't help guessing that if they could help influence the selection of some judges in the process of "Rejuvenation" competing for the Oscars.Is it possible to use this incident to maintain a relationship with Lu?

However, it has not waited for these people to figure out how to do it.It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the financial summit officially started.

This kind of global industry discussion sounds very high-end and atmospheric, but many of the conversations are also commonplace.Many people are aware of the dangers of subprime loans, but everyone is still immersed in the huge benefits brought about by the inflated housing price index triggered by it.In order to stimulate this growth trend to the greatest extent and grab more profits, some rating agencies have even joined forces with banking and financial institutions to forcibly evaluate bonds that do not meet the safety level as high-quality bonds.

It is like a castle in the air without a foundation. No matter how colorful the roof garden is, once it encounters a risk, it will be like a building without a foundation in an earthquake and tsunami. It will only collapse sooner or later.

Lu Chi has seen clearly the crisis of country M's real estate industry under the fire of flowers and brocades, so he decided to short the country's real estate market.However, the Leap Group’s funds are limited after all. Even with the addition of financial leverage, it is still a little bit reluctant to leverage Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as well as those behemoths that are crazy about issuing subordinated bonds.So Lu Chi wants to persuade the Locke Group to short the M country's real estate market with him.

"In the past month, several high-level top-secret meetings have been held within the Locke Group."

In the chairman's office of Locke Group, old Mr. Locke sat in front of the big table, folded his hands, and said solemnly: "After a long period of investigation and verification, we have made a forecast for the economic trend of country M in the next few years."

When Mr. Locke said this, he stared at Lu Chi who was sitting across the desk with piercing eyes, and said seriously: "As you said, the issuance of subordinated bonds will stimulate the housing market in country M in the near future. However, after a short period of economic boom, as housing prices fall, there will be more and more people who are unable to repay their mortgages. Like a snowball, the economic pressure of country M will increase. Until the day when it can't hold on, country M will definitely have another economic crisis. And with this economic crisis... at least one large financial institution will go bankrupt."

There was a flash of astonishment and understanding in the dark eyes. Lu Chi thought of Wall Street's recent behavior of actively spreading subprime bonds to countries around the world, and couldn't help asking: "So you want to pass on the crisis?"

Old Mr. Locke shook his head, and said in a gentle voice, "It's more than that. Don't you think that the economic power of country M is too stable. The five major investment banks on Wall Street...too many."

Lu Chi was slightly taken aback.

A gleam flashed in Old Mr. Locke's eyes. He looked at Lu Chi with a very gratified and kind expression: "Lu, you are a genius. Your financial talent and trading ability are unparalleled. I think our goals are the same."

There was a vague realization in his heart, and Lu Chi suddenly said: "You have already planned it, right? But how can you be sure that things will definitely develop in the direction you expect."

In Lu Chi's view, Wall Street's continuous speculation of subprime bonds is igniting the fire, and a little carelessness may not be heating, but igniting the fire.

Hearing Lu Chi's question, Old Mr. Locke showed a sly smile and said slowly: "I heard that a Xiangcheng company approached Lehman Investment Bank and wanted to issue mini-bonds in Xiangcheng. Is that right?"

Thinking of Lei Ting that he encountered on the plane, Lu Chi was terrified.He looked at Old Locke in disbelief.I can't believe that even these things were arranged by Old Locke.

Noticing Lu Chi's emotions, Old Mr. Locke smiled slowly, like a shark that had been hiding in the depths of the sea, and finally showed a ferocious face: "There is nothing impossible in this world. You have to believe that the capital Patience and energy."
