Hollywood New Century

Chapter 224: style

With the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch was acquired, leaving only Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the top five investment banks.

The chain reaction of the bankruptcy filing by the 158-year-old Lehman Brothers sent credit markets into chaos.

What's more, this accelerated the fall of the insurance giant American International Group (AIG) into the abyss, and also caused losses to almost everyone. The chaos caused by this also caused Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, the last mainstays of Wall Street investment banks, to fall into deep pockets. in.

Deterred U.S. officials hastily rolled out a more systematic solution to the crisis, agreeing with congressional leaders on a $700 billion financial-market rescue package over the weekend of May 17.

As the financial crisis worsens, time is life in the face of the crisis, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the last two remaining fruitful investment banks, immediately requested the Federal Reserve Board to turn into a bank holding company, and the latter soon Approval of the two investment banks' requests was announced on the evening of September 21.

Since then, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have become like Citi, which can generally set up commercial bank branches to absorb deposits, and can also permanently enjoy the right to obtain emergency loans from the Federal Reserve together with other commercial banks. Difficulties.

The transformation of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, thus, the era of the dominance of investment banks in the United States, has ended this fall.

Simmons also met with the Salvation Trio of U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman and Great Depression economist Ben Bernanke, and New York Reserve Bank President Timothy Geithner.

After all, these waves of Simon's Nine-Headed Bird Fund are too eye-catching and more attractive than Paulson Fund, another Wall Street hedge fund.

Of course Simon is too lazy to say anything, just some official words. After all, many people have seen this kind of crisis, but they are only blinded by greed.

And I just kept calm enough, and I was very bold. After all, even if I lost, there are still many ways to go.

"By the way, the government didn't guarantee the ****'s acquisition of Bear Stearns before, so why not save Lehman Brothers this time? If there is a guarantee from the US government, whether it is Bank of America or Barclays in the UK will buy Lehman. Brothers won't go bankrupt," Simon asked Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, after all, the media now has a lot of opinions on the Treasury's "death without help".

"The cancer of Lehman Brothers is too big, they invested too much in subprime bonds, and the Treasury Department has invested a lot in saving Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Bear Stearns, etc. We can't always use Taxpayers' money comes to take over the business risks of Wall Street investment banks, and they can't impose risks on the U.S. government in times of crisis," Hank Paulson responded to Simon very seriously.

"What I can do now is to increase the scale of investment. You know, there are too many unemployed people, and the market credit is collapsing. We still have to rely on the government. Just like we are in Hollywood, it is very difficult at the moment!" Simon explained. In this case, do you have a way to fart?

Hank Paulson also sighed helplessly, this time is really a once-in-a-century Great Depression!

Jessica Alba's Honest e-commerce company works in a floor office near the Central Library on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York.

At this time, in the office of Jessica Alba, who is the head of the company, she is having an in-depth communication with Simon on the desk.

Jessica Alba, who was sitting on the table, squeezed Simon's waist tightly with her legs, and screamed from time to time.

As Simon Parker took the girl off the table in the final sprint and pressed the girl's shoulder, Jessica Alba quickly knelt in front of Simon.

With the body shaking a few times, Simon took a breath and sat directly on the chair behind the desk. After a sound of swallowing, the blushing Jessica Alba stood up and patted her knees.

After taking out a few tissues to wipe his mouth and cleaning up for Simon, he panted and said, "There are a total of 8 employees in Honest Company, and I'm still thinking about whether to move the company to Los Angeles!"

Simon smiled, took the disheveled Jessica Albar into his arms, and said casually: "It's not bad to move to Los Angeles, after all, you are still an actor, and your identity as an actor also promotes the company's products. Very helpful."

At this time, Jessica Alba's white shirt was half unbuttoned, and her bra was on the table. Her **** were half exposed.

"This year, I didn't take part in the drama, I went to participate in a business training course, I plan to build the company's overall shelf first, and I also listened to your e-commerce-based, I am also actively looking for suitable infant product lines, "Jessica Alba, who has just been nourished, looks more and more **** and glamorous.

"That's right, you had 5 movies released last year, and it didn't make much splash. This year, you also released 2 movies. If you don't have a movie, you can take a break and learn company management," Jessica Alba is good as a vase , but it's a vase.

"Well, but it seems that the financial crisis is getting worse now, the situation is very bad, and the company doesn't have any business yet," Jessica Alba said despite her intention to run her business, but the current environment is so bad, she is helpless!

"Well, don't worry, take your time, it will get better. As for moving to Los Angeles, do you have any ideas?" Simon said and patted the **** the shoulder.

"Santa Monica, I'm going to put the headquarters of Honest Company in Santa Monica, and then I'll go to the field," Jessica Alba said seriously, and she can continue to do better there in the future My own acting career, after all, acting is currently my main business.

"Well, don't take too many meaningless little roles in the future. It's okay to show off your sexiness properly. If the whole movie is only based on your sexiness, it's not enough. Now that Xinghai Pictures has a distribution network, in the future I'll let you know when you have a role that suits you." Simon really doesn't have much thought about Jessica Alba's acting skills. Sexy is her label.

"Yeah!" Jessica Alba nodded hurriedly, looked at her watch, it was almost time for work, and then quickly stood up and sorted her clothes.

"By the way, the Nets sent Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson away, and transferred a few rookies and Chauncey Billups. Will it be no longer competitive?" As a basketball Jessica Alba, a fan, is still following Simon's team, the New Jersey Nets. She used to appear at the Staples Center to watch games!

"Those newcomers are good and worth cultivating, and the club is also looking for suitable superstars to join." Simon was just busy during this time, and his mind was less.
