Who will be the second Bear Stearns?

The stocks of large financial companies, including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, have suffered brutal declines on Friday, despite being devastated this year.

Investors are clearly shocked by the speed of the situation at Bear Stearns, which has exacerbated their nervousness.

"What? I heard you right ..." Paulson, sitting in the living room of the presidential suite, looked at his subordinates in disbelief, looking angry and shocked.

"Yes, minister, you heard that right. The news that mg Chase is buying Bear Stearns for $ 2 per share has spread."

"how is this possible?"

"..."

"Where did the news come from? Well, you don't need to say it, I know it by looking at your expression, is it Andy Smith again? This bastard, how could he know so quickly?"

"He is the second largest shareholder of Bloomberg News. One of the things he did after he took office was to integrate Bloomberg News Corporation. Financial news around the world will be gathered in his News Corporation ..."

"Damn, I'll sue him for manipulating the market, disrupting the economic order, and putting him in jail ..."

The men looked at the roaring Minister, and it was not serious at first, but when Paulson took out the phone, his face changed drastically, and he hurried forward and stopped Paulson a little bit.

"Secretary, all this is speculation. Without any evidence, once we tear our faces, we will not be able to step down, and he will treat us as enemies ..."

Paulson frowned, looking grimly at his chief aide, saying coldly, "Are you scared?"

The staff member's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head with a grinning smile and said, "To be honest, I was a bit scared. I studied Andy Smith, maybe young and vigorous. He never left the back, and was very patient with his opponents. If you do n’t do it, one shot will inevitably make the other party's powerless.

What we said is all speculation. His think tank is equipped with a team of 10 elite lawyers, and will never leave any handles. But we can sue him, get him into trouble, and make him unable to make it in the short term. trouble.

The result must be nothing, but according to his personality, all of us will be remembered by him, and then he will wait and stare patiently at us, crushing us one by one.

I cannot guarantee that I am a saint, a minister, and who can guarantee that he is flawless. He has become so powerful that one can think of the great wealth and media power of the scalp, and the entrenched Smith family ... "

The aide said, letting go of his phone-holding hand, he had seen Paulson's expression change, knowing that he had persuaded the finance minister in anger.

To be honest, the more he researched Andy Smith, the more he felt that this was a bug, and it was full of thorns, and he couldn't get started. He didn't know what the other party did not dare to do. I thought of the security of the free eagle that he and his two bodyguards established Companies, young people who don't even let the war money pass, really can't estimate where Andy Smith's bottom line is!

He just eats food, doesn't want to be destroyed humanely, or is ruined ...

Thinking of Piltzer, who had just fallen into disgrace, and former Elephant Party leader Tom, two political stars have been overthrown by him, and they have fallen into a state of utter danger, but his lethality is daunting!

Paulson slowly put down his mobile phone, shook his head with a cold face, and sighed, "Tomorrow, I would like to meet with Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke. It is time to propose stricter supervision of bank capital!"

The staff did not bother about what happened before, just as they hadn't talked about Andy Smith before. The topic skipped directly. Everyone knows that for an unrelated bankruptcy company, offending one ca n’t be beaten. The billionaire is undoubtedly an idiot.

"Okay. Lehman has called over. They have taken more determined action to stabilize their books. Its cash buffer is double that of Bear Stearns. Lehman also launched a difficult and planned Movement, so that shakers rebuild confidence. "

Paulson nodded, his body nestled on the sofa, shaking his head and grinning: "Finally, there is good news. What do you think of Andy Smith's next goal?"

"... My opinion is simple. It doesn't matter who his next goal is. He is an American or the youngest billionaire in the world. His family is deeply entrenched. I don't think he will ruin the American economy. He I do n’t have that ability, what I really want to pay attention to is Wall Street!

Those who keep talking about deregulation constantly, the government itself is a problem, and all capitalists who are automatically regulated by the market, regardless of what they have said before, I am afraid that in the future they will want to come to you to line up to ask the government to rescue them.

As for Andy Smith, we only need to figure out what he wants. Maybe we need his help in the future. After all, his current influence and appeal are not worse than Warren Buffett.

Although the gold futures surged again, he issued a gold sell-off warning not long ago. Many people who believed in his purchase of gold followed the big profit. This time, as soon as he warned, a large-scale sell-off occurred. Crisis, a large amount of funds rushed into the precious metals market in order to hedge, maybe the price of gold futures will be suppressed! "

Paulson froze slightly, looking at his aides, "Do you mean, is gold really likely to fall?"

"Greedy is like Andy Smith. His pursuit of wealth is even a little paranoid. I don't think he will be kidding. After all, he closed all the gold in his hand and began to ship it at $ 998 per ounce. Minister, Vulcan Alvitre and the think tanks under him are a group of true industry leaders who Andy Smith raises with a high salary! "

Paulson smiled bitterly: "I know this, the two data analysis experts I want to invite are inside, and they can't dig, and Andy Smith is too generous ..." ......

The next day, March 16, weekend.

Major media have reported on the ultra-low offer of mg Chase intending to acquire Bear Stearns.

The low quotation means that Bear Stearns employees who own nearly one-third of the company's assets will also lose billions of dollars.

Their shock in the beginning has turned into anger and pain, and they hope in despair that other buyers will show up and come up with better offers.

You should know that Bear Stearns' stock price was as high as $ 70 the previous week, and its stock price had exceeded $ 170 in January 2007. As a result, the acquisition rumor was strongly opposed by many Bear Stearns shareholders and employees.
