Chapter 424: I'm a stupid rich man who has been cheated!
Wearing a black scarlet lace round neck, a white dress with a dark blue symmetrical large flower pattern on the chest and waist, and a proud upper circumference makes the whole flower pattern appear three-dimensional. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A pair of tall long legs were wrapped in a pair of black stockings, blonde hair was coiled high above his head, a camel-colored trench coat was tied in the crook of his arm, and he stepped on three-point heels to go down the steps, and walked quickly towards Andy, who had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.
"Honey, how is it today?" Ivana and Andy kissed each other, and after getting into the car, they took Andy's arm and asked with concern.
Andy shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it's just a dying struggle, you are in the real estate business, you should know very well the current situation in the real estate market, even if they cover it up, it is in vain, the people have not yet felt the pain, after all, the areas of speculation are too scattered, and the problems in one or two areas do not make them feel the seriousness of the problem." ”
Ivana listened to Andy's confident and calm analysis, combined with the information she had collected and the troubles encountered by the CP Group, and understood that her man's analysis was undoubtedly correct.
"Then why is the price of MBS rising instead of falling?" Ivana asked worriedly, frowning.
"Hehe, if it doesn't rise, how can someone take over the garbage in the hands of those predators who are eager to shake off the pot? Beat the drum and pass the flowers, there will always be people who will be blinded by greed, look at the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, don't all stand up and shout that there has never been a history of real estate collapse in the United States? The American people are very optimistic. ”
Andy chuckled and said, but the mockery of the smile on his face was really obvious, but Ivana was still very depressed about some of the media criticism Andy had received in the past few days, but then she found that her man was like watching a group of clowns jumping around, and he didn't care at all, and he didn't even mean to refute.
"Honey, what are we going to eat today?" Ivana asked softly, glancing out the window.
"I have opened a new restaurant, I heard that French food is very good, let's try it tonight, not far ahead. Andy patted her jade hand, to be honest, if she hadn't been with her all this time, she would definitely work harder, Andy had seen her memo before, and almost only left her with 4 hours of rest.
Andy was stunned at the time, knowing that she was a strong woman, and there was no need to be so powerful! In less than ten days, she had flown three times, flying around, attending business meetings, and inspecting the company's projects.
Every time Andy saw her dragging her tired body back home, there was no time to make out at all, and once the two of them soaked in the bathtub and washed, and fell asleep in his arms.
Well, Andy didn't fly to toss her, after all, there is still a lioness there on Long Island, but two days ago, Lima Lima also flew to Miami to shoot a picture album for Victoria's Secret.
Sitting in the restaurant, Andy frowned slightly at Ivana, whose skin was slightly dull, and said distressedly: "I said, you don't have to work so hard, do you, you have to fly the day after tomorrow?"
"There's no way, I can only go to Palm Beach in person, my dad is busy recording the show, and "The Apprentice" will start broadcasting in May... ”
"To be honest, I really regret handing over that variety show to Mr. CP now. Andy is very unhappy about this, and CP Nima is too unreliable.
"My dad wanted me to be a permanent advisor to the show... Ivana spat out her tongue and looked at Andy with a pitiful look.
Andy jerked his hand over his face, looking loveless.
Just as the two were enjoying the world of the two, a middle-aged man who had just sat down with his friend saw Andy and Ivana, and couldn't help but show a tangled face, and finally after thinking about it for a while, he stood up and walked over.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Smith, I'm Goldman Sachs' senior financial advisor Ke Sai, take the liberty of bothering, can I talk to you?"
Andy looked at the middle-aged man who was stopped by the bodyguard, and glanced at the other party with a cold expression, not wanting to deal with such an impolite stranger.
However, when Ivana heard the identity of the other party, she couldn't help but be a little interested, after all, her boyfriend had bet all his worth on this subprime mortgage crisis, and Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, as the three famous investment banks, might be able to get some useful information.
Ivana gestured to her boyfriend, and Andy didn't want the man's rude behavior to attract attention in the restaurant.
WITH A WAVE OF HIS HAND, THE BODYGUARD SAT DOWN AT HIS SEAT, QUIETLY WAITING FOR THE BIG MEAL, AND AT THE SAME TIME ALWAYS ALERT, KESAI, A MIDDLE-AGED MAN DRESSED AS A WALL STREET JINGYING WITH A BIG BACK AND A SUIT AND LEATHER SHOES, REPEATEDLY APOLOGIZED, HE ALSO KNEW THAT HIS BEHAVIOR WAS VERY ANNOYING, BUT OUT OF PROFESSIONAL INSTINCT AND CURIOSITY, AND ALSO ALERT TO THE KIND OF CDO RISKS DEVELOPED BY THEIR COMPANY, HE REALLY WANTED TO TALK TO ANDY, A BILLIONAIRE WHO ALSO CHOSE TO SHORT SUBPRIME BONDS.
It's just that there is no disadvantage in other people's identity, and Andy has touched the gray twice in a row, if it weren't for the elegant and beautiful Miss Ivana, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get close to each other at all.
Kesai's upright attitude, and his praise and thanks to Ivana, also made Andy no longer look at each other with a cold face, fortunately, the meal hadn't started yet, otherwise, Andy didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Although Kesai is also a person who does not think that real estate will collapse, whether it is the problem of supply interruptions in several areas, or the practice of shorting the housing market and subprime loan bonds in a few large amounts, he is alarmed.
Andy also knows what this person is looking for himself, but he wants to know what the basis for his short selling is, and weigh whether there is a huge risk in the VAM agreement with Michael Bury.
Andy didn't take him seriously at all, Ke Sai was embarrassed to ask directly, and Andy chose to play dumb riddles, pretending to be stupid and trying to squeeze the other party away.
However, the other party is really thick-skinned, and when he saw that he continued to rub like this and waited for the food to come up, he was just going to leave no matter how cheeky he was, so he had to say in a showdown: "We Goldman Sachs and many other clients have the opposite view of you, believing that the housing market in the United States has only fallen for a short time, and there is no possibility of collapse, and as for the bankruptcy protection application of New Century Company because of its own debt problems." ”
Hearing this, Andy immediately clapped his hands lightly and praised: "That's right!" and then said with a look of regret: "You don't know, I regret dying now, my investment team is still too rubbish, how can I catch up with a professional investment bank like you, especially Goldman Sachs like you... ”
Then Andy just didn't give Ke Sai a chance to interject, looking like I was a stupid rich man who had been cheated by the investment team, and began to pour bitter water, hoping that Ke Sai would help him pay attention, until the waiter began to serve food, Ke Sai was embarrassed and apologized again and left.
The corners of Ivana's mouth twitched a few times, seeing her boyfriend's faint mocking face, and then she saw him take out the phone, yell herself Nunu, and start dialing.
"Hey, it's me, how much liquidity do I need now... Less, in this way, tomorrow inform the people at the Bank of America, I want to use personal credit to take out a loan of 100 million dollars, yes, all of it will be used to buy Goldman Sachs' CDO gambling insurance, yes, you heard it right, this group of idiots is still selling, hehe, okay, excuse me for your dinner... ”
Ivana held a knife and fork in her hand, her red lips were wide open, and she looked at herself in a daze, gesturing a shush gesture, raising her eyebrows, and looking like everything was in her words.
Andy knows that before the three major rating agencies downgrade the subprime mortgage bond ratings, before the stock market pulls back at a high level and causes investors to panic, there is still at least a two-month recovery period, perhaps the market's sluggish and numb reaction, or the final madness, of course, it is not excluded that someone is deliberate, during this period of time, the stock market will still rise, MBS bonds will still not fall, and there will still be most people who firmly believe that the US real estate will not collapse.
But these are not Andy's concerns, the next morning, Andy took someone to the Bank of America, and then very quickly took away the check of 100 million US dollars, before it was hot, turned a corner to Goldman Sachs Investment Company, and under the stunned and secretly happy hospitality of the investment manager, bought 100 million US dollars of CDO gambling insurance.
When Goldman Sachs' senior financial adviser Ke Sai learned the news, he almost fainted with anger vomiting blood, and hurried to meet his boss without saying a word, but Goldman Sachs's internal struggle was a big drama in Nima's palace, and all parties were constrained, and it was not until close to June that the sales of CDO insurance business were finally terminated, but by then it was too late.
