Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York.
Ivana wore a white bathrobe with slightly wet long blond hair, a pair of slender fair-skinned legs sitting cross-legged on a soft and wide sofa, holding a stack of newspapers spread out on both sides, shining on her through the floor-to-ceiling window. The bright sunshine on my body makes this morning warm and relaxing.
Andy was wearing a bathrobe and a white towel around his neck. He wiped his wet hair while holding it in his hand, went to her and sat down. He glanced at the newspaper and found that it was the first issue of his daily newspaper, "Dear, What do you think of the content of the newspaper? "
"Well ... not bad, the headline headline is a bit scary, especially today, I think a lot of people will feel it is fake news. My dad's interview was good, giggle, he will definitely show off, after all, it is with the president Sir, there are so many celebrities appearing on the first issue of a daily newspaper. "
Ivana showed Andy the newspaper with a picture of her dad and laughed happily.
Andy shrugged and said, "The choice to publish the news about the bursting of the real estate bubble in the inaugural issue today is thoughtful. Some may disagree, or someone may have been aware of this problem. No matter what the situation is, tomorrow, everyone will wake up in the morning, You will find that the whole world has changed. "
Ivana looked at her boyfriend's handsome, slightly indifferent face slightly, and looked down at the newspaper headline in her hand, her pupils flinched, her body turned sharply, and she reached for Andy's arm, Anxiously asked, "Are there any major events tomorrow?"
Andy glanced down at the front of the bathrobe, and a proud white and round mountain peak came into view. He smashed his lips and spread his hands. "Dominoes that have already collapsed will usher in the first key. Node, after ... "
Ivana looked worriedly at the flat expression of her boyfriend's "your own imagination" and smiled bitterly, "How do I feel that you particularly like the collapse of real estate ... wait, you won't buy cdo insurance, right? ? "
Andy smiled into a crescent moon, reached out and pinched her pink cheek, and he smiled, "What a clever woman."
"Huh! No wonder it always looks like the world is not chaotic. The real estate crashes, but our group will suffer huge losses ... How much did you buy?" Ivana grumbled red lips, snorted coldly, and rolled over and sat across. On Andy's leg, he stretched out his hand to squeeze Andy's cheeks hard, making his face shape.
"Woo, all ... worth, one billion ..." Andy received a call from Arvitelle when he woke up in the morning. The latest news, New Century Financial Corporation has been forced by Wall Street's $ 17.4 billion debt this morning, If today is not a weekend and government departments are not at work, today will be the day they announce their application for bankruptcy protection. However, this time seems to be delayed until tomorrow.
"What? God ..." Ivana opened her eyes, opened her mouth wide, and stared at Andy, who was squeezed by her own face, in horror, and seemed to be stuck, frozen in the spot.
Gollum.
Ivana swallowed incredulously, and her lips trembled slightly: "Crazy ... dear, are you crazy? Make a mortgage loan ..."
It seemed to be a reaction, the real estate bubble burst, and the bonds became garbage. Seeing Andy squeezing his eyes and raising his eyebrows, a loud scream sounded in the living room.
"God, oh, oh, oh ..." Ivana exulted, and shouting at God while holding Andy's face.
"It's crazy, dear, it's really crazy! Oh my gosh ..." Ivana's face turned pale, her face flushed with excitement, and she squeezed Andy's face tightly in her arms, almost using pride. People's perimeter strangled Andy.
Ivana is not a financial idiot. She graduated from Wharton Business School. She is not very professional in finance and is very familiar with it. She is very clear about what Andy ’s gambling represents, several times, even a dozen times. The profit made her a wealthy man unable to calm down, but it was a billion-dollar gambling, and she felt that she was almost high ~! Chao.
"Dear, hug me back to bed ..."
Andy looked at Ivana overflowing with **** in her eyes, held up her Feng Tun without hesitation, stood up from the sofa, and chuckled, "You little sao goods ..."
The bedroom door was closed again, and Andy's teasing voice was heard, "Well, it's like this ..."
No wonder some people say that power and money are the best burners. Even people like Ivana who were born with a golden spoon can't face the wealth of billions of dollars lightly.
Andy and Ivana, who has begun to look forward to the collapse of the real estate as soon as possible, start a whole day of unshameless you and me, and I have your two-person world.
The outside world does not seem to have caused much disturbance because of the report of the new newspaper "World Observer", but some people who know the inside story and realize the real estate crisis have started purposeful verification of some data in the report.
As for the American real estate agents who are at the center of the storm, they are scolding reports and alarming while they borrow money to ease the predicament.
Of course, after all, it is a new newspaper, and its authority and influence are no less than a little bit.
Until the early morning of Monday, April 2nd, with the wake of the steel city, when people get up early to start a new week's busy work, New York and some surrounding cities subscribe to the New York Observer weekly and the News with 4 million subscription sales. "Weekly" was delivered to millions of households.
Readers are attracted by the black forest cold cover and trial-like headlines.
At the dining table this morning, everyone frowned, all kinds of worries, and haze covered people's hearts.
"Dominoes that have begun to fall in-depth report on the U.S. real estate bubble. Newsweek"
"Broken bubble, dying before real estate doom! The New York Observer"
It seems that the bright sunshine over New York did not bring people a good mood this spring morning, but made the deep worry and rejoicing of many people more obvious.
The reports of the two weekly magazines are not comparable to the new newspapers. A large amount of data, analysis of people in the industry, photos of Xiao Suo who are overgrown with grass everywhere, and people who go to the sky have sent a message to readers, that is, the United States There was a problem with real estate, and it was a big problem.
Readers who have a house in their hands are already repaying, and they have felt that the sharp increase in loan interest rates in a year and a half has made them endless.
Real estate speculators have long been unable to sell the squeezed real estate. The money previously earned by speculation has long paid the down payment of other real estate, and the numerous bank dunning letters in their hands make it difficult to face.
The clothes dancers have long moved out of the new house and returned to the stage. Various people who were able to borrow to buy a house have fled the new house that has been continuously receiving collection bills. The salaried people have broken their dreams and become homeless.
No picture, no truth!
In the empty new housing district, there are only homeless people, stray dogs haunting, called ghost towns, everywhere are filled with banks, wooden signs for sale of this house. Green algae pools, even crocodile-infested outdoor pools, grassy lawns and gardens ...
Everyone is showing everyone the fact that the real estate boom that has lasted for many years is over!
Of course, there are always people who are not convinced, and people who don't want to face reality are never lacking. Andy watched with a smile while watching the real estate experts invited by major TV stations swearing on TV, and still advocating that American real estate has never been No crashes have occurred, just the short-term adjustment of the market.
What's more, they pointed the two weekly magazines at Andy. They were alarmist and irresponsible. Some people even took out the fund company under Andy's name to short cds to talk about things and attack Andy with bad intentions. .
When the farce became more lively and the TV show was more and more full of gunpowder, at 10:00 am New York time, all news and television programs received breaking news interruptions.
"According to the news just received, New Century Financial, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced that it would apply for bankruptcy protection on April 2, 2007 because it was unable to repay US $ 17.4 billion of debt on schedule, and decided to cut 54% of its employees ..."
It's like a duck that was slammed into its neck. The previous squawking was paler and weaker. Experts faced the camera with a dull look, a frightened expression, a flushed face, and a dead duck's mouth closed tightly. Can't say a word.
