Vol 6 Chapter 379: advent

The issue Paulson wanted to discuss with Feng Yiping was the share price of Bear Stearns being acquired.

This is one of two difficult problems in their solution.

It is certain that whether it is the board of directors of Bear Stearns or the board of directors of the company that acquired Bear Stearns, there will definitely be differences in their opinions on this issue.

Naturally, one thinks more and one thinks less.

In fact, there are also differences between Paulson and Geithner on this issue.

He thinks it should be lower, because it is mainly the disregarding behavior of those guys in Bear Stearns that caused the embarrassing situation like this.

Therefore, he believes that the price should be low, with a punitive nature.

As a CEO, he believes that actions that would bring down his company and make society and the public have to rescue must be punished.

If not, wouldn't it be like China's stock market?

This is a moral issue, and it is more about justice.

Of course, at this point, he was sure that he could stand firm.

During Wall Street, he knew that he was engaged in a high-risk industry. He always worried that one day he would encounter the same problem as ordinary people facing life or death to bankers: all Investors all choose to withdraw their funds, and all debtors come to their door to force debts.

In order to avoid bankruptcy under such extreme circumstances, causing losses to shareholders, and spreading to other peers, he has been preparing for such a situation during Goldman Sachs.

He rented a safe in the Bank of New York, and added it day after day that they would not sell it, let alone lend it, but when needed, it could be cashed out quickly, or it could be a high-quality bond that can be used as cash.

He also recently estimated that regardless of the increase in the share of his successor, Lauder, even those accumulated during his tenure, even if the current bonds inevitably depreciate, their value , Is still above 60 billion US dollars!

Although this is not an amount sufficient to deal with the most extreme situations, he believes that if Wall Street companies including Bear Stearns can have such confidence at this time, then he will not even be so anxious. .

But Geithner’s opinion is that in order to make the deal happen quickly, the opinions of Bear Stearns’ management and shareholders should be taken care of.

That is to take care of their interests.

This is a question that Paulson feels a little difficult to decide, so he wants to ask Feng Yiping for his opinion.

But since he hung up the phone in a fit of anger, it was naturally difficult to call back.

He even began to examine himself at this time, whether it was because of too much pressure, was it because of such unprecedented challenges, and because Feng Yiping’s understanding of the current crisis has a height beyond ordinary people’s reach, and how To cope with the current crisis, there is also a systematic and pragmatic and feasible plan, so that I rely on him in this respect?

Acknowledge that you are not as skilled as others in some aspects, but if you rely on Feng Yiping in solving this crisis that concerns the US economy, this is absolutely not allowed.

This is also something that he who is proud of, cannot accept.

However, he had just begun to examine and introspect, and immediately realized that he did not have such time.

He had just arrived at the office, before he took out the contents of his bag, he saw his deputy Steele hurriedly pushing in.

Just looking at the expression on Steele's face, he knew that what should come is finally here.

But what is strange is that at this time, he actually feels that he can finally get down to it. Maybe it is because he has negotiated a general plan with Feng Yiping, and has formulated an outline of action with Geithner?

"Hank," Steele said hurriedly, "Bear Stearns’ lawyer told me that Bear Stearns is currently facing this severe liquidity problem."

"On Monday, they still had $18 billion in cash, and now they only have less than $200 million left,"

Paulson was not surprised at all when he heard this. He was surprised that why did Feng Yiping call just before this?

It seems that he is also clearer than himself on this matter.

But at this time there is also no time to think about it, "Thank you Steele," he sat down and started calling, naturally calling Geithner of the New York Fed, "Geithner, yes, the expected situation has happened. There is no time to delay, the time has come to act, Jamie Dimon, who is in charge of you,"

, Was selected by him and Geithner, Bear Stearns's most suitable successor, Xiao Mo’s CEO at this time was Dimon.

"I am in charge of Alan Schwartz, the CEO of Bear Stearns,"

Such a division of labor is naturally the result of their discussions. To make Bear Stearns feel pressure from the government, that is, the prerequisite for government assistance is Bear Stearns' control.

Geithner was not as calm as Paulson, "Is it time?"

"By the way, Geithner, when talking to Dimon, you have to remind him of one thing, that is, a debt of more than $2.7 billion between Bear Stearns and a fund. This debt, in the follow-up In the process of processing, it must be placed in priority,"

Who knew Geithner asked, "Is it the fund of the four Silicon Valley?"

Paulson was stunned, but when he thought that the real sponsor of the fund was Feng Yiping, he immediately felt that there was no surprise, "Yes,"

"Okay Hank, I will make sure Dimon recognizes this,"

After finishing the call with Geithner, Paulson was about to call Bear Stearns CEO Allen. He suddenly found out that when things really happened, he didn't feel as anxious as he had imagined.

If I were still the Minister of Finance, then I would definitely let Feng Yiping be my special adviser at any cost. Paulson, who was on the phone, suddenly had such an idea.

…………

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Yiping, who didn't know that he was somewhat depended on by a bald old man, was already relaxing in the indoor swimming pool of Villa Los Gatos.

The eight-hour time difference between London and San Francisco gave him the opportunity to go home for a short break.

The part of Huang Jingping's genes that belonged to the strong woman has gradually been revealed. After leaving the airport, she left for the rest, and went straight to Man Tingfang, who had been away for a few days.

The reason why Feng Yiping chose this was naturally because he wanted to see his two children at the same time.

But before the child arrived, the mother of the child arrived first.

He was resting by the pool and was awakened by the water splashing on his face, "Hi," Ma Ling squatted by the pool, with a smile on his face.

Feng Yiping noticed ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that she didn't even take off the high heels on her feet, and the bag was still slung on her shoulders. Presumably, she also trot in this way.

"Come here," Feng Yiping reached the edge of the pool and waved to her.

"I heard that London houses are very beautiful?" Ma Ling kicked off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and sat down against him, asking when Feng Yiping hugged him.

There is a little meaningless to find words.

It seems that because I haven't seen each other for a few days, I suddenly saw Feng Yiping wearing only swimming trunks, so I was a little bit shy.

When she was in the bedroom, she had the bold style of American women, but in some places, or sometimes, sometimes she was a little embarrassed.

Therefore, every woman is contradictory.

But Feng Yiping likes her in all states and knows how to make her enthusiastic.

Soon, Ma Ling had no chance to speak.

Feng Yiping looked at Ma Ling, who was lying in his arms, panting with eyes closed, with red patches on his face, and said to his heart that my holding of breath is really not for nothing.

"Yes, Jingping also thinks that we can consider letting the children go to school over there."

"But I don't want Vincent to leave my side,"

"Me too, just like I don't want you to leave me,"

"Really," Ma Ling opened his eyes and raised his hand so that Feng Yiping could take off her suit jacket. She soon discovered that today's clothes were a bit mismatched. It shouldn't be a suit. The skirt should be worn below. Better.

But for Feng Yiping, who is considerate, this is not a problem.

It's just that after two people slid into the pool, he encountered an obstacle, "Wait, wait," Ma Ling tried to hold him up, "A colleague told me today, I look like, and Nicole Kidman Something like?"

Suddenly, Feng Yiping was bigger than Paulson at this moment...
