American Fortune Life
Chapter 1629: Dangerous real world
Washington is the largest snowfall city in the world, so it is called "Syracuse".
In the early morning the next day, snowflakes flew, and Washington looked like a crystal clear fairytale world. The scent of pine and the scent of white snow give a cold and soothing.
Everything is filtering, everything is sublimating, and people ’s minds are purified and pure and beautiful.
Wearing black tight sportswear, a knitted hat, and gloves, Andy exhaled, jogging on a snow-covered path, four bodyguards also wearing sports equipment were jogging around, his eyes were dead. Stare at the reporters who are running around to take pictures.
The chief executives and chairman of the nine Wall Street financial giants participating in the first US Treasury ’s $ 700 billion rescue plan gathered on Capitol Hill and will be questioned by U.S. lawmakers. This has become the largest event in Washington press and the United States. One of the most important fights.
As the hottest superstar richest man in the United States, Andy Smith's attention can be imagined. I have to say that reporters in Washington really have great power. The news that Andy returned home last night has been reported by reporters. I learned that as soon as I went out this morning, there were a lot of reporters squatting on the street in front of the house, even if it was freezing outside.
Andy ignored the shouting questions of these reporters, listened to music with headphones, breathed the cool cold air, finished jogging, and turned home.
Watching the morning news being broadcast on the TV, he was jogging among snowflakes, listening to the background introduction of the news anchorwoman.
"... The nine eos who will attend the hearing today include Goldman Sachs's Blankfein, mg Chase's Dimon, Bank of America's Lewis, Citibank's Pandit, New York's Mellon Bank, Kelly, and State Street The bank's Roger, mg Stanley's Mc Jinheng, Wells Fargo's Staples and Andy Smith jogging in the picture. Prior to this, his Yingtai Bank and eight other banks received a total of $ 168 billion in federal bailouts. funds."
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and although Andy had become accustomed to appearing frequently in TV reports, the experience of watching his real-time reports was still a bit speechless.
"Well, eat breakfast, 7 hours of hearing, they must be crazy!"
Looking at the news report on the TV, Li Wanqing was not angry, but she could not refuse to participate in the "semi-ritualized" activity of the Congress's investigation and hearing.
"Who told me to reach for the money ..."
Alston, who was already sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, looked up at the mother and son chatting as they walked in, and said with a lip.
Andy shrugged, sat at the table, and said very indifferently: "But at the beginning they forced the money to Yingtai Bank. We wouldn't be short of it. If they want to rely on this matter to make a fuss, I'm afraid I will embarrass them. "
Aston looked at some unscrupulous son, shook his head helplessly and said, "Congressmen are most concerned about how you spent the huge aid funds of the U.S. government and whether you used them for payment. Executive compensation, government lobbying or dividend payouts to shareholders.
Especially for your investment company and bank, the blondes who issued awards last year were too dazzling, which caused many people to question. "
"If they are willing to question, they will question it. The economic crisis was not caused by me, and it has nothing to do with my employees. Not only before, but in the future, I will continue to pay salaries in a" responsible and consistent manner "to attract and Retain top talents. "Andy raised his lips, raised his eyebrows and Auston and sneered.
"you"
"Well, eat! Let's leave our strength and eloquence to the hearing for a while. What are you two doing better at home?"
Li Wanqing blew up her hair directly, and stopped the father and son's daily bar raising. Andy sneered twice, and turned into a baby. She picked up her knife and fork and began to eat breakfast quietly. However, Auston spit blood and was fierce. Glancing at his son, Lengheng began to destroy the food.
Li Wanqing nodded with satisfaction. After sitting down, they gave each of them soup.
"... Eight EOs seem to be well prepared for the situation this year's hearing may be. The Big Eight did not board private jets as in the past, but took private cars or public transport to Washington respectively.
Knowing from insiders, Dimon foresaw that he would face sharp questions about compensation and extra benefits. He arrived in Washington by train and spent the night at the Park Hyatt Hotel. He met Kelly at breakfast.
Blankfein and McKinsey were on a commercial flight, but Blankfein was at the Ritz-Carlton. Pandit spent hours preparing for the hearing.
Only Andy Smith arrived in Washington on his private jet. His private jet was just delivered last year. The Boeing 747-vip series is a replacement for Boeing's replacement for the active Air Force One. The aircraft cost 200 million More dollars ... "
The news broadcast on the TV made Li Wanqing and Auston both frown and looked at the same frown, but with a sneer Andy, Li Wanqing said with some concern: "The public is currently angry at the financial industry. Guiding public opinion, you should pay attention. "
"Well, mom, you can rest assured, it's just some clowns. I earn money by my ability and spend as much as I want, but I won't let go of their leading reports!" Andy First, she calmed down Li Wanqing, then put down the knife and fork, dragged a napkin, wiped her mouth, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and sneered and called.
"It was me, and I immediately sent a lawyer letter to -span TV to sue them. Their report had a clear bias, and the use of guided xing reports caused serious damage to my reputation ..."
Seeing Andy's aggressively making arrangements, Li Wanqing and Auston who were a little worried before looked at each other and shook their heads and laughed. Even Aston, a senior barrister, was almost neglected by his own hedgehog son. I have a toothache when I am engaged in things. You know, this kind of lawsuit is difficult to win, but it can make the original -span TV station even worse. It is a slap in the money.
Since the government injected capital into the nine major banks, the public has become very scared about how banks can use the government's bailout funds, and at first the banks were not asked to announce how they spent the money. Until recently, when the bank's multi-billion-dollar bank bonus program, sponsorships of large rugby sports events, and bank purchases of private jets were exposed by the media, US public criticism of Wall Street bankers has grown.
In particular, Andy Smith, who is already very dazzling, as the youngest super-rich man in the world, his Yingtai Bank has also received financial assistance, which has led many interested people to pay more attention to Yingtai Bank. At the same time, some Negative news has also been exposed, such as triggering compensation agreements, creating homeless people, and issuing bonuses and benefits, which have also attracted many questions and accusations.
Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng!
This sentence is applicable to the whole world. You must know that the rise of Andy Smith is not everyone's attitude of goodwill. Andy also knows how many people hide in the dark to count him and wait for him. Make a mistake, there are no good people in the business world, and the real world is even more dangerous!
