Chapter 935: Paulson wants to stand up

   Henry also laughed when Yang Jing said about this John Paulson.

   Henry is almost 70 years old this year, but his body is the same as old Mike, and he deserves to be described as "old and strong".

   And for people like them, it is really the more demon the older you are, especially the analysis of market trends, which is even more amazing. If it weren't for Yang Jing from the future, he would definitely devote himself to the five-body admiration of this old monster-level investment master now.

"Yes, with this little Paulson in front of him, old Paulson's eyes will not pay more attention to us, and we can relax a lot. Boss, I think after this wave of market is over, you can give this Little Paulson awarded a medal..."

   Several people burst into laughter.

   The little Paulson that Henry said was naturally the younger John Paulson. John Paulson, born in 1955, was nearly twenty years younger than Henry, so Henry could naturally call him the little Paulson.

   As for the old Paulson, he is naturally Henry Paulson, who has just served as the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Henry Paulson was also ten years younger than Henry, but he was nine years older than John Paulson, so he was called the old Paulson by Henry.

These two Paulsons are now well-known in the U.S. real estate market. One is the former Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO. He just served as U.S. Treasury secretary last year and is now struggling with the subprime mortgage crisis. The other is taking advantage of the situation. Little Paulson, who was struggling to make a fortune due to the subprime mortgage crisis, is actually at an antagonistic level between the two.

During his tenure as chairman of Goldman Sachs, the elder Paulson made Goldman Sachs a success. It can be described as a well-deserved man on Wall Street in the early twentieth century. But when he became the U.S. Treasury Secretary, he was suddenly surprised by this. The subprime mortgage crisis has caused a lot of trouble, but he has nothing to do with this mortgage crisis. Why does this make him feel so embarrassed?

   Therefore, old Paulson naturally wanted to kill the monkeys. It's just that although this little Paulson is making a fortune, but there is no illegal operation. This is the legitimate gain of others, even the old Paulson can't help it.

David also smiled and said: "I heard that Henry Paulson invited John Paulson over to talk a few days ago, but there was no result at all. Obviously, our Treasurer has nothing to do with John Paulson. ."

Henry nodded and said: "So, our Lord Treasurer is obviously looking for another chicken to kill. This subprime mortgage crisis is actually caused by the insatiable group of Wall Street guys, and there is also the old Paulson’s credit. Before he became the treasurer, their Goldman Sachs was making trouble in the real estate market. Now he is the treasurer, but he doesn't recognize the account anymore. He wants to buckle the **** on someone else's head. It's not authentic anymore."

   Cesar said coldly from the side, "Is there anyone else in the federation who has a face?"

   "Haha, this is called shameless and shameless, let's see who can win the final victory!"

   Yang Jing shook his head and said: "This subprime mortgage crisis will not have a winner. If there is, then we still have that John Paulson."

   A few people all raised up their thumbs at Yang Jing, this is too encouraging!

   David asked a little worried: "Boss, now Henry Paulson is like a mad dog. He wants to find Liwei's object. Would you say he will find us?"

The subprime mortgage crisis was triggered by the real estate market, not speculative behavior in the stock market, so sec has no power to investigate these investment institutions, but the US Treasury Department can investigate them, especially when the new Treasury secretary just took office. In such a situation, if old Paulson didn't find a target to stand up for, he would not be able to hold on to his face. Maybe the treasurer’s throne has not been firmly seated, and Bush Jr. will kick it away.

Of course Bush Jr. has a reason for his anger. I asked you old Paulson to serve as my treasurer, just because you were able to make trouble on Wall Street, but you are fine, and become my treasurer. What is the result? No, it also brought me a subprime mortgage crisis. If you can't figure this out, you should get rid of it!

   In fact, Paulson did not take a firm seat in the position of treasurer. As soon as Ohetan came up, he immediately fired him. Among them, the subprime mortgage crisis was the main reason for his dismissal.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Old Paulson can't find out what we have. Not to mention that our funds are scattered all over the world. There is no way for old Paulson to find out. Just a little Paulson can do it. Attracted half of Paulson’s attention. In addition, Paulson knew that the main reason for the subprime mortgage crisis was the greedy investment institutions on Wall Street. Therefore, even if he wanted to stand up, I think he will also use a large investment bank on Wall Street to stand up."

  Henry and the three of them thought for a while when they heard the words, Cesar asked, "Boss, would the old Paulson be a pitcher of Bear Stearns or Merrill Lynch?"

Yang Jing smiled, "Who can say this accurately? Anyway, if I were old Paulson, I would definitely use a large investment bank with enough weight to stand up. Li Wei, the other one is also for Mr. Bush. The subprime mortgage crisis is unavoidable, and the global financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis is also unavoidable. No matter who it is, it can no longer save the current situation. No, old Paulson can’t do the same. However, he can take one of the instigators of the subprime mortgage crisis to Liwei. Look, the subprime mortgage crisis was caused by these guys, and I will punish them well!"

   David asked curiously: "Boss, what do you think old Paulson would do?"

   "What will it do? It's not easy! One is the merger, the other is the direct bankruptcy! Failure to do this will not be enough for Liwei and the common people." Yang Jing said blankly.

  "Boss, who do you think Paulson will do? Goldman Sachs? Citi? **** or Morgan Stanley?" David asked curiously.

Yang Jing shook his head and said: "Goldman Sachs should be impossible. After all, Paulson came from Goldman Sachs. Although Goldman Sachs contributed a lot to this subprime mortgage crisis, I don't think Paulson will take action against Goldman Sachs. "

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "As for Citi and Morgan, even if old Paulson wanted to do something with them, he didn't have the guts. Whether it was Citi or Morgan, old Paulson could not move. , He doesn't have that energy yet."

   This is not what Yang Jing said, whether it is Citi or Morgan, let alone old Paulson, even if Bush Jr and Bush are piled up, they dare not move! Are you really playing around when you are the ten largest consortium in the United States? In particular, Morgan and Citigroup have deep-rooted veteran consortia, not to mention you a small treasurer, even the president of the United States, they can easily replace it!

  Who would dare to do something with Citigroup and Morgan, that is simply a mouse escorting a cat!

  Henry nodded and said, "Boss is very reasonable. Boss, then old Paulson can only deal with those who have no foundation?"

   "It should be! I think Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers may be the old Paulson's target."

   Cesar asked puzzled: "Boss, can't a new century financial company still satisfy old Paulson? After all, it is the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States."

   Yang Jing shook his head and said: "A new century financial company is not enough. Old Paulson will definitely take an investment bank with enough weight."

   After listening, several people were a little silent.

"This is actually reflected in Bear Stearns." Yang Jing looked at a few silent subordinates and continued to explain, "Bear Stearns itself is the fifth largest investment bank in the United States. An investment bank with more than 100 billion U.S. dollars was actually acquired at a price of 236 million U.S. dollars. This is not without the result of the old Paulson Liwei!"

  Henry and they were shocked.

   Although the New Century Financial Corporation that closed down last year is not small, it still has a huge gap compared with Bear Stearns. But Bear Stearns, an investment bank with a scale of 100 billion U.S. dollars, was actually acquired by **** at a price of 2 U.S. dollars per share, a total of 236 million U.S. dollars. If this were put aside before, it would have been unimaginable. You know, one month before Bear Stearns was acquired, Bear Stearns' stock price was still more than $90 per share!

   By the way, such a weird thing happened like this, and the Ministry of Finance didn't even ask about it. There was no instruction from Paulson ~ www.readwn.com~ Whose letter from his sister?

Henry nodded and said: "What the boss said makes sense. Now there are Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers. It depends on which investment bank is faster. But I am more optimistic about Merrill Lynch. As for Lehman Brothers... "Henry shook his head and said nothing.

Cesar also nodded and said: "Now that Merrill Lynch and Bank of America are fighting fiercely, I think Merrill Lynch is very likely to sell itself to Bank of America, thus avoiding the tragic fate of Bear Stearns. As for Lehman Brothers, I am afraid it is true. There are no more orders."

   Cesar's guess is actually very accurate. Others don't know these things, but Yang Jing, who shuttles back from the future, is very clear about what happened at this key node.

   When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out to a climax, Merrill Lynch took the initiative to attack it decisively.

   If nothing else, Merrill Lynch will reach an agreement with Bank of America a month later to sell itself to Bank of America at a price of one-third of Merrill Lynch’s market value a year ago, or $44 billion.

   At that time, Lehman Brothers, the world's number one investment bank, eventually went bankrupt because there was no one to take over.

  Between Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, it was Merrill Lynch who had the last laugh, while Lehman Brothers, with a century-old history, eventually ended in bankruptcy.

   Lehman Brothers is really the most unlucky investment bank that was taken to Li Wei by the old Paulson.

   Although Merrill Lynch has not yet been acquired by Bank of America, and Lehman Brothers has not gone bankrupt, Yang Jing knows all this.
