When Andy walked out of the conference room, a large number of Wall Street executives rushed to know the latest news. One of Lehman's teams was huddled near the door. Rodkin, Lehman's adviser, jostled Andy.

"Mr. Smith, what happened?"

Andy told them the bad news deadpan. "We found a bank willing to do business, but the British didn't approve it."

Rodkin grabs Andy's arm and says, shaking, "no, it's terrible!"

Andy watched Lehman's men rush into the conference room and surround Paulson and Geithner, pleading for something else.

The heart can't help sighing, but it's over. When seeing the people around him finally understand the cold reality, Andy can see the despair on their faces. All the people in the room were fighting all weekend. Andy even felt a little sad because of the atmosphere.

Gaia's conference room was packed with people, and Andy stood in the lead position and said to all his members of the think tank and the people of Freetown Investment: "everyone, the feast is beginning!"

Pa pa pa -

the whole conference room was filled with excited applause and cheers, and the moment that everyone was looking forward to finally arrived.

Andy raised his hands and pressed them for a few times, calmed down the meeting room, and continued: "luxury car, luxury house, Xing sense beauty, a lot of beauty knife, do you want it?"

Andy looks around for a week, looks at the excited faces, raises his arm and points out of the window, and says in a youhoo like tone: "Wall Street has opened its door, go grab it..."

Hum - Wow -

in the whole conference room, he was occupied by the excited expression, excited cheers and thunderous applause again. Looking at the fanatical expression one by one, Andy at the moment, his heart is hard to keep calm.

Out of the conference room in a frenzied atmosphere, Andy came back to his office with a bright smile and alvette and bardstone. He took off his suit, untied the Cufflinks of his white shirt, pulled his sleeves together, and said with a smile, "a thousand words can never catch up with money, and a beautiful woman can boost morale!"

"Ha ha..."

Al and bud shook their heads and laughed at the same time, not to mention the young people in their twenties, even the middle-aged people, were all affected by the previous frenzy, and their hearts were burning.

"Get down to business." Andy sat on the boss's chair and looked at his right arm with keen eyes. "In the next three months, we must complete the acquisition of Starbucks and AMC cinema. If you don't have enough people to recruit, the most important thing on Wall Street is business and financial talents. Is that ok? "

"No problem!"

Said Al and bardstone, with serious faces.

"That's good. In three months, I will start to implement the biggest M & A in the financial crisis!"

Andy's eyes became very bright. Al and bud couldn't help but look at each other. They were all a little surprised. They looked at the young boss with solemn expression and waited quietly.

Take out a folder from the drawer. Andy hands it to al. Al takes over the folder, opens it curiously and looks at the title of the document.

"Qualcomm?!"

。。。。。。

Close down! Lehman filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday!

"Mr. President, we are going through a financial crisis."

The worrisome words come from Ben Bernanke. He is the chairman of the Federal Reserve. He has a peaceful personality, facing the president of the little flying shoes sitting in the Roosevelt Hall of the White House. In the oil painting above their seats was Theodore Roosevelt training horses on horseback. Everyone present knew that the United States was facing the most severe economic challenge in decades.

"Can you explain why Lehman's situation is different from Bear Stearns's?" he said, leaning forward and facing the handsfree phone

The question of Xiaofei shoes changed the faces of all the people in the Roosevelt hall. Several people looked at each other, while Paulson, the Treasury Secretary at the other end of the phone, passed a brief silence.

"Yes! Mr. President, "Paulson replied," there is really no way to save Lehman. Even with the help of other private companies, we still can't find a buyer. We can only try our best to control the situation.

。。。 Mr. President, I need to apply to Congress for more power to deal with this crisis. "

"Oh, really? Is this the most serious crisis since the great depression? "Xiaofei shoes have some strange tone and questions, which makes the atmosphere in the conference room more strange.

"Yes," Mr. Bernanke said first, "as far as the financial system is concerned, we haven't seen such a situation since the 1930s, and it could get worse.

If we do not act, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is unfair to use the money of the American people to stop this disaster, which is not caused by them. What is more unfair is to do nothing and let the American people bear the consequences. "The stern expression of Bernanke's answer made the choice of Xiaofei shoes clear, and also made his heart full of anger and helplessness: as president, do I want to see the economic disaster that may be worse than the Great Depression happen? "

Xiaofei's upper sink into the water, and after a while, he said coldly:" take action. We need to solve this problem. "

After that, xiaofeixie hung up the phone, stood up and left Roosevelt hall, walked into the Oval Office through the corridor.

The expressionless old Smith, the president's senior adviser ed and the talented and efficient Press Secretary Dana followed into the office when Dana closed the office door.

"Bang!"

"These bastards Xiao Fei's shoes were so angry that he slapped them on the table and said, "ha ha... Facing another great depression! You see, they forced me to choose whether to be Roosevelt or Hoover! "

Old Smith's eyes were half narrowed, and he looked like Bo Lan was not surprised. He totally ignored the anger and complaints of Xiaofei shoes. He could imagine what the anger of President Xiaofei shoes was coming from at the moment. The relationship between Xiaofei shoes family and Lehman Brothers was not so close. This time, Gao Sheng Department used the rules to kill them. It was only strange that they could be calm and peaceful.

Thinking of Goldman Sachs department, Mr. Smith's eyes also turned cold. Over the years, the preference of the U.S. government for Goldman Sachs and the penetration of Goldman Sachs into the White House have made Goldman Sachs not only the leading brother of Wall Street, but also a powerful tool for the U.S. to beat competitors and even bring down small and medium-sized economies.

In a sense, Goldman Sachs is a microcosm of the unparalleled financial power in the United States. It is one of the top companies that can't go bankrupt in the most difficult period of the financial industry in the United States. Even if you can scold the shamelessness of Wall Street and launch the most severe financial reform bill, no matter who is in the White House, you should also be afraid of Goldman Sachs.

"Since Paulson has a comprehensive plan, let him deal with it. Once Lehman declared bankruptcy on Monday, I believe that the stock market around the world will plummet. In order to avoid the collapse of the U.S. stock market, the White House can't do nothing but urgently formulate and promulgate the short selling restriction mechanism. Ed, can we promulgate it before the opening of the market tomorrow?"

The old Smith suddenly opened his mouth, which made the three people in the Oval Office, including the president of xiaofeixie, stunned a little. The senior consultant ed his eyes. After a look at the president, he said: "there should be no problem to add another class tonight!"

At the moment, Xiaofei shoes also calmed down the anger in his heart. Hearing old Smith's words, he also sneered and said, "let people go to my home to work overtime. I want to sign it as soon as possible!"

"The moral immunity Paulson wants..." Finally, I felt that I could teach those vampires a little lesson. I asked old Smith with a burning look.

"When he took over as Treasury Secretary at that time, didn't he claim to hold a higher moral standard than his predecessor, not only to sell all his shares in Goldman Sachs, but also to avoid close contact with the management of Goldman Sachs during his tenure?"

Old Smith just looked at the president of Xiaofei shoe and asked him a question, which made the mouth of Xiaofei shoe slightly cocked up, while the senior adviser of the president on the side lowered his head, sent a text message on the BlackBerry with quick fingers, contacted his subordinates, and the corner of the mouth was constantly twitching and changing, with a smile.
