Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth a small hand
The dozens of hours this weekend on Wall Street can be said to be a few twists and turns, and it is thrilling everywhere. When Feng Yiping listened to Li Ruiyuan's retelling, he also felt that it was really wonderful.
In these few dozen hours, the big guys on Wall Street also racked their brains to use all the magic tricks and used all the unscrupulous means, which also allowed people to see the true side of them.
Goldman Sachs is worthy of being Goldman Sachs, and it is really very profound.
Lehman is certainly amazing, but compared with Goldman Sachs, whether it is his own strength, senior connections, or his relationship with his peers, when he really confronts, he realizes that he is no match for Goldman Sachs at all.
The key is that while Goldman Sachs offends a person, it can always earn the favor of others. For example, this time, although they perfectly helped Merrill Lynch intercept Huleman, just like Bear Stearn, when it was struggling, he kicked hard behind his back.
But therefore, the Wall Street bosses who were forcibly summoned by Paulson to the Four Seasons Hotel were satisfied with Goldman Sachs because the money they were forced to pay was finally not required.
Huh, the big guys breathed a sigh of relief and gave Raulder a grateful look one after another - including Mai Jinheng, whom he had never dealt with.
"Now, Lehman is at his will, right?" Feng Yiping looked through the plan that had been improved on the computer many times these days and asked.
"Yes, we are reliable news," - there are so many people participating in this meeting. It is not difficult for insiders to find out about this news. "Barclays in the UK can't actually acquire Lehman. The top officials of the Ministry of Finance and the Fed are shouting, 'The British guys are playing tricks on us,'" Li Ruiyuan replied.
Feng Yiping could hear that he was very excited at the moment.
This is completely understandable.
For any financial practitioner, what happened in these dozens of hours will make you tremble with excitement.
It is completely understandable that Britain chooses to let go. They are now a lawsuit, so how can they care about the United States?
"I heard that Lehman was getting the bankruptcy agreement to be approved by the Lehman Council. I was worried that there would be physical conflicts in the Four Seasons Hotel," he said.
Feng Yiping smiled and shook his head. There was no such possibility.
Although Merrill Lynch pledged Bank of America, to be honest, Merrill Lynch doesn't necessarily acquire Lehman if he doesn't intercept him.
Because according to the accounting team, Lehman's toxic assets are far more than the 30 billion US dollars mentioned at the time, but in fact, at least twice the 30 billion US dollars.
How could Bank of America, which was originally forced to be pulled, take over this hot potato?
Besides, at this time, the old navy Fulder should have recognized his destiny. It seems that from tomorrow on, he will be different from the big guys in the hotel today, and consider his future. At this time, how dare he continue to offend people to death?
After all, his arrogance was all because of Lehman behind him. Now Lehman's skin will no longer exist. How could he dare to compete with others with this hair?
"Okay, it's time for me to show up," said Feng Yiping. "You don't have to worry, just have a good rest and prepare to finish tomorrow's work,"
"Okay boss, we're waiting to enjoy your wonderful performance,"
"So, should I charge you?"
…………
At the Four Seasons Hotel, the Wall Street bosses are about to leave.
Lehman, it seems that he is dead. Although they don't have to pay that amount of money, this does not mean that they will be relaxed.
Paulson is right. All of them have a deal with Lehman. Lehman goes bankrupt and will inevitably have an impact on them. They are anxious about their own exposure to Lehman at this time.
From this perspective, this crisis is fair. Although they can be said to have teamed up to lose a competitor, none of them can stay out of it.
The only difference is that Lehman's bankruptcy affects them.
Therefore, no one looked relaxed at this time.
But if you look closely, Raulder, who should have felt the best, was the one with the worst face.
He is not leaving now, he is waiting to meet Paulson, as well as the heads of the Federal Reserve and the Stock Exchange.
The reason why his face was so bad was that he had received the news just now, and there was a problem with Aig.
For him, this is an extraordinary event.
Lehman's bankruptcy, Goldman Sachs' possible losses are not big, but if something happens to Aig, it will definitely lead to Goldman Sachs in a place of irreversible consequences.
Because, he didn't just watch Feng Yiping and the others make money through CDs, and of course he didn't miss such an opportunity - Feng Yiping also knew this.
However, Feng Yiping was not sure about Goldman Sachs' work.
Goldman Sachs purchased a total of $24 billion in CDS contracts from Aig. Raulder and others have estimated the settlement price of these contracts, which is as high as $60 billion.
This profit is also the confidence that he always shows calmness.
But if there is a problem with AIG, not only will the profit of more than 30 billion US dollars be ruined, but their investment of 24 billion US dollars will also be a problem.
No matter how many valuable assets they can grab Aig, they cannot be cashed out immediately, and what they lack now is cash.
Therefore, Aig can't have problems. Not only Aig can't have problems, but he also hopes that he can get guaranteed by Paulson's Federal Reserve's Bernanke Securities Exchange Commissioner Cox. Aig must pay in full the profit of more than 60 billion US dollars, and no point can be lost.
Judging from the current situation, Aig, which has little money on the account and liquidity problems is about to occur, naturally cannot afford to spend more than 60 billion yuan. Then, only if the US government injects capital, its requirements can be realized.
If the person in charge of Aig knew that Raulder of Goldman Sachs always stabs you or kicks you in the back, he was as worried about the fate of his company as he did and was ready to convince Paulson and others to inject capital into his company, he would first doubt his ears and then feel sincere gratitude.
And from this, I have a firm understanding. Sure enough, the one who owes money is the master!
And the more you owe this money, the better the treatment.
He believed that if Aig owed Goldman Sachs only $6 billion at this time, Raulder's foot must have been kicked...
…………
Rauld sat anxiously in the conference room, not seeing any of the three he wanted to meet.
Because, not long ago, he was just righteous and resolutely refused to help Lehman and the others, and at this time he also learned about Aig.
And this news suddenly forced them to the corner.
This is not Lehman, this is a fucking aig!
Not to mention Aig, it can be said that it is the last takeover of all kinds of hedging insurance in all financial institutions, nor does it talk about Aig's other businesses, just about Aig's life insurance, regardless of its insurance customers in more than 100 other countries in the world, or just about the tens of millions of insurance customers in the United States.
If there is a problem with AIG, what will the tens of millions of Americans who are insured in AIG, or more serious, tens of millions of American families do?
They were all afraid to think about it.
What should I do?
Paulson and the others are another bag.
…………
In the conference room, Rauld, who was so anxious that he could get up and take two steps, was upset when he saw the caller ID, and had an unknown premonition. What did he call me at this time?
"Hello, Feng," he said in front of Feng Yiping, "What you said is indeed right. Now is the most difficult time."
"I also know that now is the best time for us to acquire Hilton, and it is also the best time for us to start other acquisition plans. You can rest assured that I have just talked to Mai Jinheng about this issue. Our team will be able to act tomorrow."
He hoped that Feng Yiping would say at this time, "Oh, that's so good,"
But he actually knew that Feng Yiping could not follow his script.
"Haha, Raulder, can I speak?" Feng Yiping asked.
Raulder's feeling of uneasiness became stronger, "of course,"
"It should be said that now is the beginning of a difficult time. I think after the news of Lehman's bankruptcy spread, no financial institution in the market can be relaxed because investors will completely lose confidence in Wall Street, and you and I know how important confidence, especially for financial institutions, is,"
"No, Von, Lehmann will not have much impact on us," Raulder just wanted to speak at this time.
"Come on, Raulder, isn't your Goldman Sachs leverage as high as dozens of times?"
Raulder had nothing to say.
"In view of this, I wonder if I can buy Lehman so as not to, haha, to dampen investors' confidence and avoid affecting you all," Feng Yiping was standing on the balcony at this time, and the wind from the Arabian Sea was blowing towards him.
On the other side, Raulder stood up "instantly", "No!"
