Chapter 1518 After the tsunami(1/2)
Two years later.
Song Ya unhurriedly loosened her tie, opened her suit, put her hands in her pockets, and paced back and forth.
"AP, ha!"
Finally, his former public relations consultant Axelrod appeared and stretched out his hand from afar. He has now transformed himself into a senior White House adviser.
Song Ya squeezed out a smile and greeted her, "David."
"They are waiting for you."
After shaking hands and greetings for a few words, Axelrod whispered, "Alicia." Then he hugged Song Ya's girlfriend, DIVA Alicia Case, "I'll let someone take you to visit here."
"OK."
Alicia Case generously agreed.
"Let's go AP's S."
"Um."
Song Ya gave her a wink to her girlfriend and followed Axelrod, who was walking in a hurry. The two soon entered the Oval Office.
"AP Reveal! Welcome!"
Michelle and his wife warmly opened their arms to welcome the old acquaintance.
"Mr. Commander, First Lady." Song Ya hugged them.
"Hehehe..."
Michelle's husband laughed heartily, "Don't have to see her like this, just like in Chicago. Please sit down, sit..."
Song Ya was pressed on his shoulders and sat on the sofa.
"Now it's ours." Axelrod closed the door, and there were only four people in the room.
"Have you met Underwood?"
Michelle sat down opposite him and asked.
"Well, before we came, we talked at the South City Church in Chicago..."
Song Ya admitted in anger, turned her head and glanced at Michelle's husband who was standing behind her with her elbows on the back of the sofa, "You can't treat him like this. Without Underwood, you can't win this election."
They promised the position of Underwood's German Secretary before the election, but because in order to persuade the Arkansas to withdraw from the Arkansas dynasty in the primary election period, they made a lot of transactions with the other party, as well as the Daly dynasty, the Kennedy dynasty and other powerful forces that had been made, they all needed to be rewarded on merit.
So... Underwood ran around and worked for them for nearly two years, but in the end he got nothing, and he was still the leader of the House Majority Party.
To put it simply, it was fooled by Michelle and his wife.
"We need him to stay in the House to protect the Medicare Act, and his influence in the House can better help us realize our campaign commitments as soon as possible."
Axelrod said: "After all, we have a shallow foundation, and there is nothing we can do about it."
He also did not get the expected White House chief of staff, and the position of steward was given to the Arkansas faction, and of course, he was more trusted by the Michelle and his wife.
"Help us soothe Underwood AP Loos." Michelle said.
"I have tried my best to comfort me," Song Ya replied.
"How do you feel about him?" Axelrod asked: "Everyone knows his personality and is a little worried..."
"Not to do it, he takes the overall situation into consideration."
Song Ya recalls the scene when she chatted with Underwood and his wife at the entrance of the church...
"It's really unbelievable that they shouldn't treat you like this." The palms and backs of hands are all politicians who have been in contact with each other recently. Unexpectedly, he could only talk to people and talk to ghosts. Of course, he really complained more about the Michelle and his wife in his heart.
It is more convenient to ask Underwood for help with work, and Underwood is more refreshing and has no bottom line.
"Is this politics not?"
The three of them climbed down the stairs, and Underwood seemed very free and easy.
His wife Claire naturally had a stern face, "When he was in full rule, he was simply insulting everyone's IQ using the excuse that we needed to stay in the House of Representatives..."
"Don't say that Claire." Underwood stopped his wife, "Oh by the way, invitation letters for the inauguration and dinner." He took out a white envelope from his pocket and gave it to Song Ya, "the best place."
"Thank you, you always have a way."
Song Ya compliments and comforts her, "After the health insurance bill is passed, I believe they will find a way to make up for you."
As a big money owner, it is not difficult to get a good position at the inauguration ceremony and the White House dinner. Michelle and his wife are still good to them. Ms. Sloan tried to take charge of the anti-gun, guns and explosives Administration, and was resolutely disrupted by the anti-gun ban force. After Congress firmly disrupted the collapse, she turned to the Secretary of Education. Yelemov, whose net worth has exceeded 200 million, was controlled by the News Agency because of A+ Entertainment, and Jennifer Connery was there, and Daniel, who was idle, became the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
In terms of merit and performance, many of his subordinates were inserted into various government departments through revolving doors.
"It's okay, I will pass the Medical Insurance Act, so that the commander doesn't have to worry, just leave it to me." Underwood sincerely promised.
"That's great..."
"I feel okay." Song Ya took back her memories, "You don't actually need to pass the message through me..."
"We want to wait until he calms down before talking to him," Michelle said.
"well!"
I'm not here to come to the White House for this, there's something else, "You have to pay attention to me, Michelle, the First Bank of New Jersey needs more financial support."
In April 2007, New Century Financial Company filed for bankruptcy protection, in July, Bear Stearns Bank suffered huge losses, in August, residential mortgage investment companies filed for bankruptcy protection, in September, Lehman Brothers Bank followed suit, the financial tsunami was completely detonated, and then giants such as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mac, AIG Insurance were in a hurry.
The United States has collapsed, and countless ordinary people who are carrying mortgage loans are unable to repay their loans. Houses in some places cannot be sold for one meter of yuan, and the miserable misery is everywhere.
Halle and Mira, who followed the trend of speculating in real estate, both suffered heavy losses, and their ex-wife also suffered a lot, but their ex-wife has always been relatively stable in financial management.
The super financial crisis has spread rapidly to the world, and its own banks and investment banks are not spared.
Over the years, many of its industries have been financed through the First Bank of New Jersey and the Investment Bank, which has a large number of health assets in it. If not rescued, it will cause a chain reaction.
"Last year, Finance Minister Perseille had already asked Chase to inject capital into your bank." Axelrod said: "I heard that China's financial capital also invested money?"
Chase is the only bank that has not been slandered by the financial tsunami.
"Yes, the Percels are good, but at that time, the George Dynasty only wanted to keep the two core investment banks, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, which was not enough, and far from enough."
The George Dynasty and Perseille, the then powerhouses were stamped and spent money, but Bear Stearn and Lehman brothers disappeared forever, with only two major investment banks left on Wall Street. Song Ya couldn't help but be glad that Paulson was not in power at the time. Now Morgan Stanley is in a much better situation than Goldman Sachs, so Perseille of course prioritizes saving his own people.
Paulson was really clever in running away decisively in the early 2007.
"That's fucking!"
The time traveler has been in trouble for more than ten years and finally needs the country to rescue him. Song Ya swears in the Oval Office.
"Your investment bank generally uses leverage ratios of more than 20 times in the real estate financial derivatives market, and it can be transmitted to the terminal even more than 70 times."
Axelrod knows his business very well. "Last year, your bank and investment bank gave you and your executives a lot of dividends due to the financial crisis. Is the commission right?"
“…”
Song Ya was choked and couldn't find any words to refute. It was so dangerous at that time, of course it was a little bit of it. "Wall Street did this! It's not me... If housing prices rebounded, it wasn't that serious. After deleveraging, it wouldn't be insolvent. And those disasters were caused by Anders. You can catch him and get them to check!"
"Anders?" Michelle's husband didn't know Anders.
"Anders Eisner, Eisner's youngest son."
Song Ya now wants to cut Anders alive, although she thought he was a financial genius that had never been seen in a century at that time, "Well, forget it, I just said angry just now, I promised Eisner to take care of him."
"What do you say!" He found that the other three people in the room stopped talking and asked.
"In the primary election last year, you should be clear about how much risk I took to support you."
He played the emotional card again. Last year, when the Arkansas Dynasty refused to admit defeat, they used many tricks to deal with themselves, which was hard to explain in detail, but it was indeed quite dangerous.
"I know, don't worry, we will save it, AP Lu S."
After Michelle's husband consulted his wife and Axelrod, he agreed.
That was almost the same. Song Ya took a calm pill and her face cleared a little, "It's just a big release..." he murmured in a low voice.
"You should care more about your business. According to your ability, it should not be difficult to prevent it in advance, right?" Michelle gently coaxed and half-suggested.
"I didn't have that much energy, and the housing and bond markets were so hot at that time..."
Song Ya was also a little helpless, "You know that I have always been not good at avoiding stock market crashes. Every time I eat a lot, it's like this when the Internet bubble bursts."
After the age of 30, his main energy changed from investing in the Apocalypse to managing its business empire, and he fought wits and courage with professional managers and shareholders such as the board of directors, senior management and shareholders, using personnel adjustments instead of directly interfering in the operation to achieve his goals. This transformation also requires a lot of time to learn, and trial and error is inevitable.
"Oh by the way, and AP LuS, you have to return the money you earned from Madoff Fund."
Michelle and her husband began to smuggle with Song Ya and joked. Axelrod took advantage of the atmosphere in the Oval Office and brought the topic back to the point after getting Michelle's husband's permission.
"That's what's up to me! I'm also a victim!"
Madoff Fund also couldn't stand the financial tsunami. According to the survey, Madoff played a classic Pontes financial scam, but in fact it has been absorbing new funds to meet the high yield expectations of old investors. There are many victims of major multinational banks, various trusts and special funds.
The old man Madoff even asked his son to report him on his own initiative, trying to select his family from the biggest Ponzi scheme in history.
This kind of development surprised Song Ya, but by chance, he made money by luck, and ran away early, "Don't pay it back!" He even vomited out the food that was eaten? How could it be possible!
He picked up his hand and the big golden sword stubbornly stubbornly tricked his neck.
“AP reveals S…”
Axelrod sat next to him and said seriously: "It's not that you ask you to pay back everything, at least return the profits in the retrospective period. The whole world is watching this case, especially European banks have suffered heavy losses, so we can't help you cover it up."
To be continued...
