Since January, from the financial heart of the United States to Wall Street, to major European stock markets, to emerging markets in Asia, global investors and economic practitioners have carefully considered every piece of economic data released by the United States.

Gaia Corporation, Wall Street, New York.

"... It is undeniable that the US economy has begun to enter a recession. Citibank Group announced its financial report that the company lost $ 98.3 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, the highest single-quarter loss in the company's 196-year history.

Merrill Lynch released a financial report saying that due to the subprime mortgage crisis, the company suffered a net loss of US $ 99.1 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, setting the company's highest single-quarter loss record in history. Earlier, Merrill Lynch had written down $ 14.6 billion in losses caused by the subprime crisis.

The statistics of housing starts released by the US Department of Commerce show that the number of housing and apartment starts in the United States last year was 13.53 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 248%, which is the second largest drop on record, after the 26% drop in 1980 ... "

Andy leaned lazily on the boss chair, listening to his think tank's systematic analysis and report on the recent state of the US economy, as well as the economic trends and predictions he made.

"The Fed may then announce the third rate cut since September last year, with a rate cut of 05 percentage points, and lowering the federal funds rate, which is the interbank overnight lending rate, from 425% to 375%."

"At the same time, I think the White House's tax cuts will be rolled out faster to stop the U.S. economy from continuing its downturn."

Andy nodded, tossed his pen to the table, and laughed, "The White House has already decided, and within two days, it will announce a tax cut of $ 145 billion to maintain the economy. Grow and create jobs. The economic stimulus package is about one percent of US gross domestic product. "

Everyone glanced at each other and was naturally convinced of the boss's news. Alvitre took a smile and said: "It seems that the guys on Wall Street are almost ready to start detonating the bomb. . "

"Hehe, otherwise, the core of the United States, the value of the United States, and even the secrets of the United States are on Wall Street. At that time, the idiots in the pedicure would buy Rockefeller Center and the movie company. Tianchao was much smarter. I heard that they had just turned 50 Billion dollars in shares in Morgen "

Al Witt replied with a bit of helplessness: "Yes, they did a pretty good job this time, including our president. They are a bit helpless. This time they may become the biggest winners. Although this time the scale is a bit smaller, but I think it's just a tentative test. They may try every means and method to enter Wall Street. Compared with hundreds of Wall Street banks, they are seeking capital injection. "

"Everyone, do you think I should pick a few banks to play in this storm?" Andy with a playful smile on his face, looking around at the expressions of everyone in the conference room ...

"If you are serious about the boss, it's not impossible, but you need to cut in and seize the opportunity. This time, several predators on Wall Street are going to reshuffle. We do n’t have many opportunities to get good through commercial means. Bargaining chips, however, can use the power of the government to start from some of the bankruptcy-protected local banks they took over, or a bank, as the bank for the settlement of the funds of the boss. "

Al groaned for a moment and expressed support for Andy's proposal, but some good assets may not be theirs.

This subprime turmoil is actually an organized, planned, and step-by-step "Wall Street conspiracy." As usual, the Fed, who stands in front of the stage, has made successive shots. Since August 2007, the interest rate has dropped 3 times.

The overnight lending rate of banks borrowed by the Federal Reserve is 3%, which is almost the same as the interest rate after the two previous bubble bursts. This is a repeat of the old trick, and the interest rate cut will continue until it reaches about 1%. Excluding technical factors, this is almost a zero interest rate policy. The purpose is to cover the consequences of this bubble burst with a new round of bubble colors. The means is to issue a large amount of banknotes, causing the dollar to depreciate further, expand US exports, and pass the crisis on. To others, internally stimulate the service industry, especially the core of the service industry, the transfer and growth of the financial service industry.

"By the way, Al, how's our rocket maniac?" Andy terminated the topic of the bank in real time. The matter of the bank can't be anxious, and it takes patience to pick a job.

"The conditions have been told to him, even if he is a little unwilling, I believe that other shareholders will make the right choice."

"Ha ha, Al, don't you be so confident, maybe the rocket madman will throw all his assets into the company and support it." Andy honestly admires the willpower of people with dreams No matter how good Elon Musk can be, but his willpower is indeed beyond ordinary people.

"... Okay, maybe it's really possible. Then, boss, just give him a fire. When the boss leaves, I hope you can answer the paparazzi questions."

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help lowering their heads and chuckling, knowing that their boss would use the information of the bear hug malicious acquisition to let all the shareholders of Tesla know the news, so that Elon Musk would not conceal someone's willingness The news of the bid for the company left shareholders in the dark.

"Why isn't China Railway's negotiations over yet?" Andy nodded, agreeing, but frowned as he saw the next topic on the table.

"This time it's not our problem." Aaer's face cried and laughed, rather helplessly explained: "This time we are innocent, a group of donkey parties in Washington are instituting a trade sanction against the rabbit country, and the China Railway negotiation team suddenly Asking for an extension before signing the contract, and hinting at our concerns, that once such a bill that disrupts trade between the two countries is passed, cooperation will ... "

"Ahem ..." The expression on Andy's face was so wonderful that he was spit directly into his mouth. Well, he also enjoyed this method of the rabbit country, and said with a bit of anxiety: "Where is the lobby outside the hospital? He meows of!"

"Boss, this time is different. This time, the new generation of the Donkey Party will exert more political pressure to take action. Many first-time Donkey Party members believe that their own victory in the 2006 election is due to their election campaign. China insists on an anti-trade stance. Before the first re-election test this fall, they are eager to promote legislation and punish the rabbit nation. "

"Damn election year, the White House will not agree. Forget it, it seems that lobbying is not possible. You tell the people at China Railway that since the conditions are settled, the contract will be signed as soon as possible. As for their concerns, , You tell them, I know, there will be no unpleasant things in the trade between the two countries ... "

After the meeting, Andy returned to the office, picked up his cell phone, and called Petkaplan of The Observer.

"Pitt, let people dig deep into the Donkey Party Rep. Tim Ryan and Sand Levine, and the three members like the Party Rep. Duncan Hunt, the news is also considered ..."

Andy gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to pull the ballot?" Nima, blocking his way of getting rich, and voting for it.

Hanging up the phone, Andy is also a little bit crying, he can also be regarded as a means of heavenly pressure, card neck, this Nima is speechless, but from another perspective, his Andy Smith is also hanging there The number has become a card in their hands. I really don't know if I should be happy or if I should spit.

When walking out of the main entrance of the Gaia company's building, the group of paparazzi who had been chasing Andy did not forget to hold the camera and press the shutter.

"Mr. Smith, I heard that you are interested in Tesla's electric car on the verge of bankruptcy, and want to buy it?"

Just like paparazzi ask questions every day, everyone is accustomed to hearing this Andy Smith who has never given them a good look and just ignore it.

"Huh?" Andy slowed his steps, frowning and looking at the direction of the sound. With a soft hum, he replied: "Your news is well informed!"

Immediately, the paparazzi were very excited. Nima, this dead ice cube finally responded.

"So the news is true, Mr. Smith, many people have questioned Tesla as a Ponzi scheme company ..."

"Elon Musk will only brag ..."

Andy rolled his eyes and didn't like the attitude of these guys who stepped on the nose.

"The reason why I have the intention to take over the Tesla that is going to bankruptcy, energy, environmental protection, in fact, life is an adventure, I think it is most important to focus on building a big pattern for future development.

There is no precedent for what Tesla is trying to do or a roadmap for future development. I have the will and the funds to try to create a realistic myth that looks like night, and I am willing to bring some substantial changes to human life ... "
