American Fortune Life

Chapter 1205: Being beaten and crashed by oneself

When Paulson saved the struggling housing market and the U.S. economy from crisis, and made these two troublesome but powerful financial giants who had troubled reformers for many years completed a huge change, he still paid close attention to Lehman's self. The process of redemption!

However, as Andy knows, Leoman Brothers' current eo-Fold is a very annoying and arrogant guy.

Among the many acquirers who are interested in Lehman, the China Development Bank or some of the acquisition negotiations are the focus.

In the negotiations, on the question of whether to use 1.25 times the net assets or 1.5 times, Lehman boss Fuld seemed quite careless, full of "humming" tone of value investment!

'We talk to you because we look down on you, and you should listen to me.' Of course, the ending is, of course, that the sticks have been **** off, and the so-called "Lehman is trying to seek an unlimited credit support, just want to use the stick Development Bank assets to rescue Lehman from the water! "

So, the sticks waved their hands without taking a piece of paper!

Paulson left with a disappointed expression. Andy didn't give him much favor because the Lord Treasurer personally came to the door. Regarding the issue of interest, let alone the Treasurer, the President came in for nothing.

Now in this environment, including Andy and other monsters on Wall Street: Damo, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, etc., are peeping in the corner! All they want is predation or **** appearance in the wind!

Wall Street and even Washington, really can't save Lehman Brothers?

how is this possible!

It's just that in addition to hating Fuld, the more important thing is the assets of Lehman Company. As a large, prey to be slaughtered, all predators are waiting for the last drop of xue from this hunting logistics, and then to It is divided up, after all, the poisonous part does not want anyone, they want to eat the most delicious one.

Especially when Lehman falls, the seat of the board of directors of the New York Fed will be vacated, and there will be a large number of people staring at this position.

"Boss, the current crisis is actually a liquidity crisis. Almost all financial institutions will use large or large leverage to participate in financial games. Lehman 10 will announce the third quarter financial report. A huge loss is inevitable Yes, they will even announce an asset split plan in an attempt to evade the write-down of garbage toxic assets to manipulate and boost the company's stock price! We should be prepared again. "

Sitting at the opposite side of Andy, Arvitelli held coffee and relaxedly leaned on the back of the chair. After all, the big boss has been playing a little bit recently. The leverage is greater, and the more you earn, it also means that the risk is greater. Hedging by multiple parties is likely to bring losses.

Feet overlapped on the desk, lying on the boss chair, Andy holding his mobile phone while playing "Super Monkey Ball" did not raise his head, said indifferently: "Struggling to death, this does not prevent more The self-judgment and self-direction of both sides go forward!

By the way, keep an eye on Lehman's benchmark index business and own index business. At that time, we will eat it and merge with Gaia to launch our own US bond index, emerging market index, global market index, municipal Indexes such as bond indexes ... "

Alvitale shook his hand holding the coffee cup slightly, his eyes exuded a sharp light, put down the cup, his face was serious, and he said cautiously, "Boss ..."

Andy couldn't help but look up at Al, and frowned slightly, put his phone down, sat down and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Alvitelli nodded solemnly and said, "It is not a good idea for us to establish the Gaia Index. You should give up your dream of making Gaia a big investment bank similar to the US mg Stanley and Goldman Sachs. You invest a lot of money to achieve this, but with little effect, any superficial progress will be fleeting ... "

"Speak straight!"

The corner of Al ’s mouth twitched, and he pondered before he said, “Boss, you do n’t have enough information. The Gaia index has n’t been more than a decade or even decades. We ca n’t convince the capital market and eventually become the guiding data. In the face of too many behemoth competitions and ambitious British investment banks, money will not be spent less, but the results will be difficult! "

Andy's face opened with a slightly ugly face, his face was torn, and his heart was a little bit aggrieved. Nima, he was so proud of it. Now it sounds that the money for selling information is really hard to make.

Even with his thick skin, he felt a little hot. Nima, he was beaten by his own ...

"However, boss, you are optimistic about Lehman's benchmark index business and own index business. These two pieces of vision are unique, and can even be said to be spicy. This is definitely a piece of fatty meat that predators may ignore. We can win this. Two businesses, and then sold them, whether British or French, including Tianchao people, foot basin people will be very interested, it is certainly no problem to make a profit of 3 or 4 times ... "

Seeing the ugly expression of the big boss on the opposite side, he finally looked better because he was almost flattering. Alxin wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. He was helpless to stop the boss from taking some for granted decisions, but as the chief Think tank, he had to stop the boss's unreliable ambitions.

Lehman plays the index business. That's because Lehman index has decades of accumulation. The boss wants to take over Lehman's business and replace it with Gaia's name. He thinks that it can carry forward the index business. How could this be so simple? .

"Okay, I take it for granted. Come on. It's also good to be a second-hand trafficker. It's easier to make money by turning your hands down." Andy shook his head with a bitter smile, but it was always the right direction.

Although he was beaten by his own person, it was better than being beaten by other opponents who looked at the joke. Andy did not continue to struggle with this matter. Since he did not try to please, he would not do it. He is not crazy. , Have to compete with yourself, holding a billion dollars to fetch.

On Wednesday, September 10, 2008, Lehman announced its largest quarterly loss in 158 years and a historical loss of 3.9 billion U.S. dollars. His face was bitter and bitter, his brows frowned, and Fald, who did not change his arrogant expression at a press conference. Announced the asset split plan.

In the Gaia's conference room, Andy, sitting in the chief position, watched the screen of the conference on TV, listening to Fuld's interpretation, and frowned, looking at Al on the left-hand side and asked, "'The company He will still do his best to find all strategic alternatives to maximize shareholders' interest, 'What does he mean?'

"Fold, including Lehman's board has collapsed! Lehman is ready to accept all possible offers!" Al was shocked at the moment, which undoubtedly told the world that Lehman would accept the price of cabbage to be acquired, if anyone would Take it over.

Pound

"Boss, just now came from Bloomberg. Barclays Bank announced that it intends to acquire Lehman, and Lehman's stock price began to rebound ..."

Andy looked at the man who pushed in the door and listened to the other person's report. He couldn't help twitching a few times. Nima, this was a joke. The reaction of his meow was too fast. Before it's over, there's ... lying down, they are really manipulating the stock price!

Andy glanced at Al, and Al nodded slightly, then said, "Like your boss, you are indeed struggling. I believe you will soon receive a call from Paulson or Geithner ... "

Buzz

All the eyes of the conference room were looking at the iphone which was constantly buzzing and shaking on the conference table. Andy smiled and said to Al: "You are almost a prophet!"

There was a light laugh in the quiet conference room. As for the rising Lehman stock price, no one took it to heart. According to the rules of Wall Street, during the press conference, certain specific data and public questions about the implementation of Xing were You ca n’t delve into it, because that ’s not the place for showdowns. Do n’t worry, you will see the real chapter one to two hours after the conference. Shit will still be shit, even if there is a temporary spray of nai oil!

"Geithner's ..." Andy glanced at him, smiled and said to everyone, then took the phone leisurely ...

After hanging up the phone, Andy said with a smile: "You all heard, okay, it seems that everyone needs to work overtime this weekend, so Stephen Nubi took the bank accountants to charter flights to New York to join us, haha, this It will be a crazy weekend! "
