Saturday, 13 September.
When Andy and his assistants and bodyguards walked into the lobby of the Federal Reserve building around 9 a.m., alvette, who was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, came up with six or seven people.
Andy, with a happy smile on his face, asked Al, "have you finished receiving it?"
"Yes, boss, Berlin has already called and informed us that the British side will complete the re signing of the lease contract in the morning tomorrow, and our people will rush to Berlin as soon as possible..."
In the elevator, alverte quickly introduced the situation to Andy. In the morning, alverte took people to the headquarters of Lehman. He almost robbed 13 commercial buildings of great value from each other. Now, I believe, the news has spread all over Wall Street.
Sure enough, when Andy stepped into the meeting room, the CEOs and the big guys of the banks looked at him with complex and envious eyes. Several people's faces were very ugly, including Paulson. After all, Andy's behavior was very undesirable for some people.
"You look so ugly. Didn't you sleep well? Tut Tut, when you are old, don't work so hard. Pay more attention to your body. " Andy, with a bright smile, sat on the boss's chair and joked to some ugly old foxes. He didn't care about each other's eyes.
Paulson had a deep look at Andy for a while. He almost saw people coming. He coughed softly and said in a hoarse voice: "the latest news is that Merrill Lynch is negotiating a deal with Bank of America. Bank of America formally withdrew from the acquisition of Lehman, and now only Barclays of England has a choice.
Everybody, I hope I can see the result of assets accounting for Lehman today. Anyway, give me a number! "
The meeting soon broke up, and the big guys, including Andy, had to go to town and make their accountants and data analysts work hard.
At about 12 noon, the first data finally came out. Lloyd of Goldman Sachs and Andy, as well as the CEOs of three other banks and investment banks, went to the conference room to submit reports, where Paulson and Geithner were responsible for collection.
Paulson and Geithner looked at the blue write down table data and frowned slightly. At this time, several other groups of data were sent one after another. Looking at the data, the brows of the two main leaders of Paulson and Geithner frowned more tightly.
The data shows that people have different opinions on the real value of Lehman, especially the most notorious real estate assets. There are almost no different figures in every data, and they are lower than each other.
"Do you really have $41 billion in cash assets? Or 24 billion? Or less? " Paulson's eyes were cold as he sat on the boss's chair, and some frustrated CEO Fuld asked in a cold voice.
And Fuld also seems to see through Paulson's hypocrisy, with cold eyes and no answer. Before that, he just received a phone call from Harvey, the bankruptcy lawyer of Lehman. The other side was very angry on the phone. He was not satisfied with the representatives of the talks with the Federal Reserve. The other side had no sincerity to help them with Lehman, and he had been talking nonsense.
Forrest looked at Andy Smith, who had been smiling and indifferent, and thought of what he had said last night, he couldn't help lamenting.
"What will happen to Merrill if we are finished?"
Hearing Fuld's cold questions, and sitting not far from him was John Thain, CEO of Merrill Lynch, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly fell into embarrassment.
"Take care of yourself first! I'm sure I can handle AIG and Merrill Lynch. " Paulson's face changed a little. He looked at Fuld coldly. Then he looked around for a week and said, "John is here. Talking about Merrill Lynch makes me feel a little uncomfortable..."
The smile on Andy's face converged, his expression became indifferent, and Paulson's eyes were full of ridicule. However, at one glance, he cast a sympathetic look at Fuld, whose face was red and his fists were trembling. This guy, who was famous for his arrogance, was almost spurted by the finance minister in a humiliating way.
。。。。。。
The meeting ended in an extremely strange and awkward atmosphere. Andy almost didn't want to see Lehman for Paulson. To be honest, he was disgusted, so he took people out of the Federal Reserve building at the first time after the meeting.
"Al, what do you think of Paulson?" In the car, Andy saw the view outside the window and asked abruptly.
Al pushed down his glasses and said after a moment of meditation, "boss, do you feel that he is not urgent and attached importance to the rescue of Lehman?"
Andy didn't speak, just nodded.
"In fact, this is not understandable. From three aspects, we can understand Paulson's idea.
First, most of the bonds issued by Lehman were bought by Asia, and some of them are in Europe. Only a few of them are in the United States. The bankruptcy of Lehman allowed Asian countries and other countries to bear the losses of the U.S. economic recession together, and could partially pass on the losses of the U.S. financial crisis, so as to avoid the burden of the U.S. government's shoulder to shoulder on the liabilities of the financial crisis.
The second is to get rid of the pressure of public opinion and public pressure that the U.S. government paid for all the failed companies, so as to stop the donkey party people who "saved the market with the money of Shui people" from all walks of life in the United States at that time.The third is... Objectively, for Goldman Sachs and Mg in the future competition in the capital market, clear a strong opponent. "
Speaking of the third point, Al hesitated and finally came to his inner conclusion.
Andy's eyes are deep, and he sneers at the corner of his mouth. He says lightly: "it seems that there are many inner feelings in it. Do you believe it, Al? When Lehman falls, the storm will be out of control. "
"Of course, then we have a chance. Boss, Lehman must fall, deducting the 1 billion spent this morning. This time, we have harvested 13 commercial buildings and 4.2 billion dollars from Lehman. Your cash assets have reached 34 billion dollars. We have the ability to compete for the most delicious part!"
Andy nodded, no longer tangled with those unhappiness. Nothing made him happier than his own wealth growth. He couldn't help chuckling and said: "this is just to save the second room, it can't save brother!"
Alvertriel shook his head and laughed, shrugged his shoulders.
Back home, Ivana, wearing a black halter dress, gently went up and kissed Andy Wen, helped him hang up his suit, then took the tie pulled down by Andy, reached out to stop Andy's waist, and asked softly, "how are you today?"
Andy hugged Ivana, walked into the living room and smiled: "yes, the 13 buildings have been handed over smoothly. To be honest, it's lucky to take this part of the assets. You don't know. When I first entered the meeting room this morning, those old people would like to kill me with their eyes. Hehe, especially those two buildings adjacent to 52nd street and 53rd Street on Fifth Avenue, Absolutely worth it! "
"Ah --"
Ivana turns around and circles Andy's neck with a happy smile. She jumps up and hangs on Andy. Andy can only reach for her hand and hold her to the sofa in the living room.
"Bo ~ cluck, I know you are the best!" Ivana smiles and kisses Andy's mouth, full of adoration.
"I will set up a property company to manage and operate these 13 buildings, and then they will be included in the asset list of Smith Foundation..." Andy laughs and sits on the sofa, watching and hearing his decision. Ivana, with her eyes shining, reaches out her finger and points it at the tip of her nose.
Ivana will be very happy. As a family foundation, she and Andy's children will be beneficiaries. In the future, she and Andy's children will also inherit the foundation, that is to say, her children will truly become billions of babies born with golden spoon!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
