American Fortune Life

Chapter 519 Wall Street predators

When Andy came to the verdant green golf course with the caddy who helped him carry the golf equipment in the car, he saw Warren Buffett was talking and laughing with several people, not far away It's some caddies.

"Hehe, here he is. This little Smith is as smart and difficult as his grandfather, but unfortunately he is not interested in politics." Warren Buffett looked at Andy who was walking towards them after getting out of the car, and said yes A few people around laughed.

"He made up for the shortcomings of the Smith family, and we should increase our investment in the future."

"Hehe, you bankers have no stance, especially you Citigroup."

"Who cares, like the Party and the Donkey Party, no matter who comes to power, interests come first..."

Warren Buffett shook his head and looked at everyone with a smile. When Andy passed by, he smiled and said, "Andy, I'll just wait for you. Let me introduce you to a new friend first."

Andy shook hands with Warren Buffett with a smile on his face. Looking at the other three people standing on both sides with kind smiles, he couldn't help but nodded with a smile. He knew all three of them because they were all big men from Wall Street celebrity.

"This is NYSE CEO Dick Grasso, Citibank's Sandy Weil, AIG Morris Greenberg."

"It's an honor to meet you three." Andy shook hands with the three big shots calmly, and said with a smile neither humble nor overbearing.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a young man as outstanding as you. I've read your profile, and it's a business miracle." Already very old, but still energetic, old and strong, he praised Andy with a smile without hesitation.

"Thank you for your compliment. Your experience is a legend." Andy showed humility to Morris's compliment, and he did not lose the opportunity to compliment, not only because of Greenberg's age, but also because of the old man's legend The experience is indeed admirable.

"Hehe, don't rush to compliment each other, come on, let's tee off first." Warren Buffett stretched out his hand and waved, and the caddies quickly stepped forward and handed their guests clubs.

"Thank you." After Andy smiled and thanked the caddy, he took the club, because he remembered what his father Alston said in this life, no matter how good you are in golf, you should treat you A better caddy is the most important thing in golf.

Morris was the first to tee off, followed by Buffett, and Andy was the last to tee off. Due to the fact that he has played a lot recently,

He also got a set of indoor training equipment in the office, and his game has also been greatly improved.

After teeing off, the caddies took over the clubs, and they were far behind them. Warren Buffett walked very vigorously, and he didn't look old at all. "You know why many people like to talk about things on the golf course. ?"

Several other people looked at Andy with smiles on their faces, and Andy laughed lightly, while straightening the gloves on his hands, he said: "In addition to talking about things while exercising, in my opinion, an empty and vast stadium It’s a great place to be without worrying about other people picking up on the conversation.”

Andy's answer made several people laugh, "No wonder everyone says that you are an extremely cautious person. People of your age rarely think of this. The rapid development of modern technology has brought human beings At the same time, it is convenient, and it also makes human beings have no secrets." Morris Greenberg turned his head to look at Andy and smiled, saying that he narrowed his eyes and looked forward with emotion.

Andy just smiled, and stopped talking. He knew that this group of people would not make any circles with him, because there was no need for them, they were already in the same camp.

"From 1999 to 2006, when Pilzer served as New York State Attorney General, he was committed to cracking down on large Wall Street companies. Time magazine also selected him as the "Reform Fighter of the Year". The fear of the New York business community has also aroused the hatred of Wall Street forces.

Because, as long as Pilzer uses judicial tools, whether it is an international giant in various industries such as insurance, pharmaceuticals, energy, and entertainment, the stocks on Wall Street will be greatly affected. This made industry companies and everyone on Wall Street resentful. However, in the public opinion at the time, Pilzer was known as "Mr. Incorruptible" and "Anti-corruption Fighter" because of his efforts to rectify the financial order on Wall Street and crack down on the illegal behavior of business giants. "It was Maurice Greenberg who first broke the silence. He looked a little playful, squinted his eyes slightly and looked towards the distance of the court, and said eloquently.

"In 2006, Spitzer was elected governor of New York State with a high number of votes, and vowed to change New York, the worst government agency in the country, and carry out the fight against corruption to the end. He not only claimed in words, but also took practical actions to further use the greater power in his hands To attack Wall Street. Therefore, the financial capital of the United States must not allow him to continue to break the rules set by everyone.” This time, the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, Dick Grasso, was added.

Andy nodded slightly with a serious expression. He naturally understood that this group of people could no longer tolerate the continued existence of this traitor. After all, Pilzer himself came from a rich real estate family, but now he spared no effort to attack them with his power.

"North Fork Bank of New York believed that Pierce's multiple transfers were suspicious in March and reported them to the U.S. Treasury Department. In May, HSBC reported suspicious transactions of two shadow companies, believing that they had a large amount of transactions, but the business was unknown. This The two shadowy firms handled the accounts of a company called the Monarch Club, which was established in 2004. Investigators accidentally discovered that Spitzer’s money was wired to these two companies.” Citibank’s Sandywell turned to look Looking at Andy, he said with a playful smile.

"Hehe, it seems that our governor is going to fall under the strict financial scrutiny regulations of the United States!" Andy teased with a chuckle, and expressed his position.

"Yes, the FBI has been investigating for a long time, and Pilzer often claims to use Theodore Roosevelt as a role model, but

Huge financial power is precisely the core of our country's politics and economy. "New York Stock Exchange CEO Dick nodded and admitted that everyone has no defense against Andy Smith. The first is that he has almost touched the core content, and the second is that they think Andy Smith is a natural ally.

"Theodore Roosevelt...hehe." Warren Buffett shook his head and chuckled, and read softly.

Andy had a slight smile on his face, but his heart was indescribable. Wall Street spared no effort to spend huge sums of money, racking their brains to come up with a long-term and careful plan to get rid of him. During this process, the power agencies of the U.S. government and the major media that will inevitably appear in the future guide public opinion, and under the influence of financial forces, they highly cooperate with this plan.

Several old foxes looked at Andy Smith who was in deep thought, and couldn't help smiling at each other. They were proud of the tacit understanding between everyone in this project, but they heard it before they were happy.

"Hehe, this Emperor's Club is really powerful. Not only did it cheat so many British politicians, but it even found some great people on the list. For example, I am very optimistic about Mr. Senator who may become the first black president." With a faint smile on Andy's face, what he said seemed to be really teasing, but just after he finished speaking, the pupils of several big brothers shrank involuntarily, and their eyes focused on the young guy in front of him body.

"It seems that this Emperor's Club is indeed very powerful..." Morris's eyes showed a cold light, he looked at the crowd pointedly, and finally looked at Andy with a smile.

"I've studied your information. You seem to be planning the entertainment industry. After acquiring Marvel, do you still want to acquire theaters?"

Andy nodded, and said without concealment: "I have this consideration, but it will not be implemented in the near future. Why, does Mr. Morris have any good suggestions?"

Morris shook his head, looked at Andy deeply and said: "You are confused by the depth of huge wealth, and we at AIG can't resist the high returns of subprime mortgages, insurance products and other products. Hey, in order to better resist the coming In the cold winter, we are selling some assets in exchange for cash, I wonder if you are interested in the shares of the cable TV station?"

Andy's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Which company's shares are too expensive, I can't afford it..."

"You, you are so cunning at a young age, just like your grandfather, hehe, we calculate the 10% stake in AMC Cable TV based on the total assets of 2.2 billion, I don't think you will refuse?" Morris He joked with a dumbfounding expression.

"I don't know about this, and I need my think tank to investigate." Andy will not draw conclusions lightly, and even thinks that the old man in front of him will really take advantage of him. I believe that they will be kind, and they will not be far from bad luck.

"However, the shares are a bit small, the strategic layout, and the most important thing is that the strategic thinking is fully implemented."

Just after Andy's words fell, Sandy from Citibank said with a smile: "We at Citigroup are very willing to help you complete the privatization acquisition of AMC Cable TV."

Morris couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Sandy, you really don't let go of any opportunity to gain benefits." After speaking, he looked at Andy and continued: "I can only help you understand the wishes of the shareholders, Rainbow Media Holdings Group It is not so easy to be kicked out, but they only have 38% of the shares, and it is not difficult to surpass their shares, the key is to be quick and finish before they have a reaction."

"Then please trouble Mr. Morris, whether it works or not, I will remember your help." Andy almost smiled and narrowed his eyes, AMC Cable TV is not a small TV station, "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad" "He had followed up in his previous life.

Before Andy came, he had figured out the ultimate purpose of this group of people. The lieutenant governor of New York State is a blind black politician who may eventually succeed the unlucky governor. Black people will be elected president in the future. Black people hold these two positions. For the first time in American history. Andy believes that this is because Wall Street financial forces believe that black politicians are easier to manipulate. I thought that I would be wooed by profit, but I didn't expect it to be this way.

Of course, Andy won't take advantage of it, but this kind of opportunity is very rare.
