American Fortune Life
Chapter 907: Flicker then flicker
In a small venue where the Davos Summit is located, the center is composed of two people sitting on the sofa talking face to face on a round platform in the middle, filled with audiences including media reporters and elites from all walks of life, and some financial experts. There were about four or five hundred people at the scene, crowding the entire small conference hall.
"Although there are still differences on whether the U.S. economy will go into recession, there is basically consensus on the possible slowdown of the U.S. economy, and at the same time, the global economy is affected by the U.S. economy, and its growth rate will also slow down ..."
Andy leaned calmly and comfortably on the sofa, his hands and elbows rested on the sofa armrests, crossed his fingers in front of him, facing the British BBC ’s strongest news interview show "News Night" with "torture" Jeremy Parksman, the famous guest, spoke calmly.
"You said yesterday that the Federal Reserve ’s emergency rate cut was driven by the market, and the results are likely to be even worse. Do you agree with Mr. Soros that the Federal Reserve ’s rate cut is a seemingly panic move?"
With a smile on his face, Andy shook his head and said, "On the contrary, when the economic outlook of the United States is unknown, the government of the little flying shoes, which has always advocated no intervention in the economy, and the Fed, which has always emphasized the risk of inflation, have changed their minds. To curb panic.
Panic is a "poison" to the market. It is precisely because of the market's panic about the prospects of the US economy that it has caused a rare major decline in financial markets for many years. This worry is currently the dominant force in global markets.
January 21st coincided with Martin Luther King Day in the United States, and the stock market closed. The opening of the US stock market on the 22nd will follow the decline of major global stock markets. It is a general pessimistic expectation of everyone.
The Fed unexpectedly cut interest rates ahead of time in order to prevent this expectation from becoming a reality and further aggravate the panic. From a practical perspective, cutting interest rates one week in advance has no substantial significance.
However, from a psychological point of view, this action has played a role in restoring market confidence, avoiding the spread of panic and stabilizing consumer sentiment. Since then, the US stock market has stumbled, and the major global stock markets have rebounded in succession, indicating that the Fed's amazing move has reached the world to show that the US central bank is in action. "
Jeremy Parksman could not help but brighten his eyes, and smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, "Since the purpose of the interest rate reduction has been achieved, why do you think that the interest rate reduction will make the situation worse? Isn't this contradictory?"
"Oh, no contradiction. The Fed ’s move appears to be market-friendly and injects a lot of liquidity into the financial system, but this may promote another bubble economy. I am worried that the Fed ’s emergency interest rate cuts will only remove us from One bubble brings another. "
"What about Europe? What do you think of the wait-and-see attitude of the European Central Bank and the Bank of England? Do you think that Europe will really be affected by the subprime crisis in the future and will the economy begin to decline?"
"Europe is unlikely to be immune to the impact of the global economic slowdown. The European Central Bank is expected to follow the Fed's path and take interest rate cuts in the near future after keeping interest rates unchanged for several months. In a world of economic globalization, this and panic For the game to succeed, the Fed's move should be responded to by the central banks of other industrialized countries.
And I want to correct it, I never said that the US and European economies will decline!
To be honest, when the U.S. economy is at the crossroads of recession or slowdown, I choose to be optimistic. The outlook for the U.S. economy is still promising, but it will slow down ... "
"But we all know that you are shorting the US and Europe, how do you explain?"
"Of course in order to make money, the general trend, I am just a drop in the ocean, can only go with the trend, can't help but reverse the trend, right?"
Andy chose to shrug his shoulders and wink with innocent big eyes and shout at the audience, and the host laughed, and then applauded for Andy's frankness.
Indeed, is it wrong to make money?
"Well, Mr. Smith's frankness makes me a bit speechless, so can you predict when this subprime crisis will end?"
Andy directly gave the other a blank look and teased: "God told me that it would be a fairly painful and relatively long time ..."
Hahaha ...
The audience laughed again, but although many people laughed, their expressions became more dignified.
"Mr. Smith, your answer will not be satisfied either by the audience on the spot or in front of the TV. We all want to hear your inference. I believe that many people around the world want to know your opinion."
Jeremy Parksman's perseverance made Andy a bit helpless. First, he shook his head with tears and laughter. After the applause rang out at the scene, his expression slowly slumped, and his voice was a little low. The impact continues to spread to credit card, car loan, and corporate credit. The economic depression facing the United States is likely to continue for about three quarters ... "......
"Oh my God, I almost believe that you are a good person who is worried about the country and the people. Are you also part of the Wall Street conspiracy?"
At the end of the interview, Andy left the venue with applause and siege and sat in the car. Li Xiaoying watched Andy's eyes flashing with radiance, but she uttered mercilessly.
"Is it true that it's important? Besides, everything I say is sincere, and I don't want the market panic to be too serious ... Ahem, well, encouragement is not encouraged. How can these governments throw money into financial institutions? , Really want to tighten the money bag, whose money do we go to make?
Direct government intervention is in our favor. Banks or financial institutions applying for bankruptcy will not be able to use cabbage prices until the government takes over! "
Andy's words made Li Xiaoying slightly hesitate, "Do you really want to buy a bank?"
"Why not? My Wattsapp app will add mobile payment in the future. Without my own bank as a transfer station and fund settlement bank, is it like payingpal, it will take a few days to refund the money?"
When Li Xiaoying heard about mobile payment, her eyes brightened, but she soon frowned and shook her head to persuade her: "The idea of mobile payment is very advanced, but the payment port is required. The most important point is that The habit of using credit cards in the United States has been cultivated and popularized over the years, and switching to mobile payment methods requires time and market education. "
"Wow, Emily, I like you more and more. You are just my maggot. I just said a name, and you can understand and see the difficulties. Should we give a hug to our hearts? ... "
"Go! Who is your maggot, it's disgusting!" Li Xiaoying's face turned red, gritted his teeth and looked at Andy who was in front of him, and opened his arm with anger.
While the two were playing in the moving car, Andy's cell phone rang. He took the cell phone out of his coat pocket and looked at it. He connected it directly. After a few words, he hung up quickly.
Reaching out and pressing the speaker on the armrest of the seat, he said to the front row of Kenny, "Go to a traditional house restaurant!"
A playful Li Xiaoying reached out and stroked the hair on both sides of her cheek. Her face was flushed with red glow, and Andy asked, "Whose private lunch party?"
"Rupert Murdoch!"
"What?" Li Xiaoying confirmed with a little surprise, with a very surprised expression on his face, and looked at Andy with a frown on his face. "Why is he so anxious? Unless the threat of this eavesdropping incident is very large, it may even be possible Let News Corp. suffer heavy losses and shaken its position. It seems that they must have touched a lot of taboos while using the eavesdropping to get the news, so they want to quickly solve your big trouble! "
Andy looked at Li Xiaoying's analysis of Ning Mei's eyebrows, that soft face, the more she looked, the more she liked, and the genius Xueba really didn't cover it.
"Emily, you are just a female Zhuge! Be my woman, I will be good to you all my life ..."
"roll!"
Andy is naturally very clear that if he publishes the contents of all the eavesdropping scandals he has mastered, News Corps will face the joint hang of the British and American governments. After all, for so many years, the people who have been offended by News Corps have not been a little bit. Grasp the handle, many people can only bite their teeth and hate News Corp. and Murdoch. If Andy hands them the knife, this group of people will definitely tear up News Corp.
In order to deal with the eavesdropping scandal, Murdoch not only lost a century-old newspaper but also a $ 12.5 billion business. He was sneered by the public and besieged by various inquiries. Andy didn't know what price he finally paid. A British and American investigation was conducted, but it is conceivable that the price is definitely high.
And Li Xiaoying doesn't know much about it, and he can be inferred from Murdoch inviting him to dinner. Although this is not how genius it is, the speed of this quick thinking is definitely much faster than ordinary people, let alone, Since childhood, he has been recognized as a genius to learn hegemony. He did not pass through the golden fingers, and he absolutely crushed Andy into slag.
Unfortunately, if not, the current situation is that Andy has long remembered the genius beauty Xueba very early on, and he has long been determined to ride this unruly rouge horse!
