American Fortune Life

Chapter 1213: Currency war of survival or death

"puff"

"Ahhhhhhh ..."

At midnight, Edmonton, Canada, just returned to the hotel after attending a charity concert. Buffett watched the live report on the TV and sprayed the ice water out of his mouth. The coughing scared his little wife in a hurry. Patted his back.

Buffett's eyes widened, his trembling fingers pointed at the compassionate Andy Smith on the TV for a long time before he stopped coughing and squeezed a word out of his teeth, "Shameless!"

However, what made Buffett almost spit blood was that one day after 10 months, Buffett suddenly found a small icon on his BlackBerry. He asked his daughter Susan: "What is this?" Susan studied carefully After some telling him, it was the day Lehman went bankrupt, and Chad Fold gave him a voice message. In the message, Chad Fuld agreed to all of Buffett's demanding requirements as long as he could pay ...

A transaction that affects the world, can make Buffett make a lot of transactions, and thus ruined this messy phone message!

"boom!"

"Fxxk! This sonofabith!"

Bareo's eo, who is always watching Lehman's bankruptcy, smashed the coffee cup in the LCD TV with an expression of horror and hysterical curse.

After that, their Barclays bank's inevitable assets were cut off!

Uncontrollable anger, grabbed the phone and dialed out ...

"噗嗤"

"Haha ..."

Little flying shoes in pajamas are sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a coffee cup, watching the live report on TV, and spraying with a bad smile, while standing around the living room are working overtime to set up a mechanism to restrict short sales. And the staff are all looking at each other, one by one, gloating with gloating smiles.

"This **** boy ... haha, laugh at me, it really is the bad boy of the Smith family, he's so bad ..."

The surrounding people immediately looked up to the ceiling. It looked like I didn't hear anything. Mr. President was a little too self-relieving.

Bang bang bang ...

At this moment, Paulson's eyes were raging with anger, and the whole man looked at Andy's disgusting face on the TV like a furious lion. He couldn't wait to pounce on him and bite him. Landed on the ground.

"Dirty, despicable, disgusting shit! Stupid to go to **** ..."

Looking at Paulson, who was cursed with various vicious swear words in the fury, Hamilton, the chief of staff, turned blue, leaving his office quietly, and now the office could not stay any longer.

He can understand Paulson's anger, but some things and words should not be heard. This is just a job. He doesn't want to offend a monster because of the job.

Ten minutes later, angry Paulson yanked open the office, rushing into the other office aggressively, picking up the phone and snarling: "Let the **** bastards, immediately, immediately, enter Bankruptcy procedure! "

At this moment, Paulson has made up his mind that he would rather sacrifice Lehman than establish "Iron Discipline" on Wall Street.

Andy, who was in extreme excitement at this time, held a bottle of champagne in his car and poured it. He stepped directly on the seat, pulled out his upper body from the sunroof, and cheered on the neon flashing streets of Manhattan. Vent the excitement of the heart at this moment.

This is the "survival or death" currency war, which is cruel, **** and far-reaching.

In this war, Andy is undoubtedly one of the few victors. Of course, it wasn't him alone who robbed Lehman of the fire, and he was fiercer and more brutal than Andy. He also said that it was against goodwill and Implicit contract principle of fair trade, as the mg chase of Lehman "settlement bank".

However, those are not important anymore. At this moment, Andy is not only happy because of making money, but more importantly, the sense of accomplishment after success. Everyone is juggled by applause. What he wants most now Just celebrate, celebrate it well.

So when I saw the door open to myself, I was excited, and looked at Ivana with admiration. Andy directly closed the door, turned Ivana over, and said, "Stand up and help."

Andy Tu, who has a small belly, and Ivana, who has a Jiao who manages the abdomen, began to give people whatever they wanted ...

"Don't visit later, the Three Bridges are unimpeded, and you will come and go between the Flower Commission and the Tibetan Buddhism.

At the same time, Paulson, who was completely impatient, yelled again at SEC Chairman Cox, urging him to pick up the phone and let Lehman Brothers execute bankruptcy proceedings.

In the end, Cox's and Geithner's lawyers had to call Lehman Brothers' board again to declare Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.

At 1:45 in the morning, Lehman Brothers finally had funds on the books, and while branches around the world continued to make payments to the headquarters, the Lehman Brothers desperately announced to Manhattan Court that they sought bankruptcy protection. This is also the history of the United States. Largest bankruptcy case.

On the early morning of Monday, September 15, 2008, Paulson reported to the President of Xiaofei Shoes on Lehman's bankruptcy. He received a meaningful response from the President of Xiaofei Shoes. "

Paulson, who was in New York, was finally relieved after receiving the president ’s reply. He called his wife in a good mood and sought comfort. When he saw on TV, the White House spokesman issued a restriction on short selling. The bill was dumbfounded, and he stood on the spot aggressively.

As the Treasury Secretary, the White House didn't even mention this to him. This shows that it is self-evident that the good mood suddenly disappeared, his face was a little pale, and the hand holding the microphone shook slightly.

The short-selling mechanism is a short-sale ban. Although this mechanism is considered to do more harm than good, it is not good or bad, and it is even considered to disrupt the market. Xing, but under the urgent situation, preventing the market from suffering a disaster A good way, at least to allow the panicking public to eat peace of mind, has played a soothing role, of course, this will also destroy some people's confidence.

While the short-selling ban has increased market transaction costs, it is undoubtedly also a wallowing sap for all parties and predators on Wall Street who are gearing up for a big fight and shorting the market to obtain profits to make up for the subprime crisis losses .

Lehman's bankruptcy kicked off the Wall Street financial tsunami!

The Dow Jones index plunged at the opening, falling nearly 5%, and S & P financial stocks also experienced the worst day in history. The commercial paper market and the interbank overnight market were immediately paralyzed.

But the bad news doesn't stop there. The British authorities have frozen the accounts of some Lehman customers, and overseas hedge funds have withdrawn funds from Goldman Sachs and mg Stanley.

At this point, Paulson, who had felt the White House's dissatisfaction with himself, had to co-operate with Bernanke to fly to Washington, personally went to the President's Financial Market Working Group meeting, and explained the Lehman bankruptcy.

The sleepy-eyed Andy removed the claws of Lushan, who was deeply trapped in the gentle village, and reached back to the wound-making cabinet behind him. He took the constantly buzzing mobile phone and connected it directly.

"Say"

Andy closed his eyes and said with a dry voice. Last night, he was too happy, too excited, and played a little too hilarious. Not only did Ivana torment melancholy for mercy, but also to himself. Rarely tired.

"Well, I know. Let Lehman's people have some time to move. Now that our people are in place, let a few companies and all departments work as usual. I will send an internal letter in a while. E-mail, to stabilize the people's hearts, um, just like that, you should keep your eyes on the fuse mechanism, huh, haven't we prepared for it? Just according to the discussion, the sparrow fights, the accumulation is less ...

Hanging up the phone, Andy threw the phone away and yawned. Some tired and want to sleep, he was interrupted again by the ringing phone, helplessly opened the silk carpet, grabbed the phone and went to the bathroom I don't want to wake up Ivana who was almost destroyed by herself.
