Vol 6 Chapter 517: Empower

Feng Yiping immediately said, "Didn't I say it, it's not time yet,"

"I know, I remember, but Feng, will it really be harder?" Lauder asked.

Feng Yiping said heartily, could it be that it is an elderly person who is so wordy, regardless of whether it is male or female at home or abroad?

But thinking about the calm of the period since Bear Stearns was acquired, he smiled, "Why, do you think the recent days are too peaceful?"

"The reason you see it is because you want to see it," he repeated the words of a reporter from Le Monde when he was in France, and that of Sartre.

"Oh, really," Lauder sounded, still preoccupied, feeling that his heart hadn't let go.

Feng Yiping is a little strange. With Goldman Sachs, this is not the case.

Because even if the hardest days are here, their lives will not be too sad, especially considering their special relationship with the White House.

Then Feng Yiping stopped, "I said Lauder, you are not shorting Merrill Lynch or Lehman Brothers, are you? Are you shorting even Morgan Stanley?"

There was silence over there.

Lauder was surprised at first, and then very vigilant, and then a thought came out involuntarily, "This person shouldn't exist in this world,"

I just asked a question and then answered a few words briefly. You can actually guess what I am worried about?

This is too scary and too difficult to make people feel at ease!

Of course, he immediately realized that his idea was too terrifying.

As long as they can make more profits, they can even promote a change in effect or a war-of course they will hide behind the scenes, but for individuals, especially those who are strong in both political and business circles in the United States like Feng Yiping. Take extreme measures, that has never happened.

Because that is equivalent to opening a Pandora's Box, the final result must be one's own safety, and it must not be guaranteed.

When he was thinking about it, Feng Yiping said again, "Louuld, you will have no friends if you do this... well, of course you don’t care about this,"

"But, if you do this, you don't worry about Congress investigating in the future?"

"Oh, you guys shouldn't care about this either,"

Although Feng Yiping said this, he seemed to be extremely confident about his own inference, but Lauder felt a lot more comfortable, because he could at least hear the concerns and worries from these words.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Since everyone is sensible, he casually perfunctory. "Since you think it's not the time to start, it's not too late to wait until you say it."

"It's just Feng, when do you think this timing will happen?"

They did short Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, but they did not expect that Wall Street had been quiet for such a long time since Bear Stearns fell, which made them somewhat uneasy.

In an environment like this year, if such a short-selling fails, even if it is based on the accumulation of Goldman Sachs for many years, it will definitely hurt its vitality.

Feng Yiping said heartily, I can be sure that the high probability will be in the third quarter, but I can't tell you naturally.

"It depends on the state of market liquidity, but the liquidity of the entire market seems to be as regular as the tide, but it is totally impossible to predict accurately."

"But I believe you can also see that the general trend is that liquidity is tightening, so we can say that in the current seemingly peaceful situation, that day is actually getting closer and closer."

Strictly speaking, Feng Yiping's remark did not answer Lauder's question, but Lauder was very relieved after listening.

Because even though Feng Yiping didn't say when the harder time will come, he once again emphasized that the harder time must still be behind. That's good!

"Then we continue to prepare. Besides," Lauder once again expressed his sympathy for what happened in the country.

Feng Yiping would like to say something, can you be practical?

But he knows that for investment banks like Wall Street that are eager to hide behind the scenes to make money, they don’t need to expand their visibility in the minds of ordinary people, so they will never come up with money when they are really nervous. To express condolences.

After listening to Feng Yiping's call quietly, the old horse asked, "Is it all right,"

"We're all right, but they are coming soon," he said, pointing to the phone. "Even people like Lauder are panicking now."

Otherwise, Lauder naturally does not need to solicit Feng Yiping's views and seek Feng Yiping's affirmation.

Lao Ma actually doesn’t know much about financial issues. For example, Feng Yiping mentioned liquidity. He can only roughly interpret it as lack of money, but this does not prevent him from having his own judgment on some issues. Panicked, the problem will certainly not be small,"

This is probably equivalent to a person who was undecided about whether to liquidate the stock when the stock market entered a bear market, so he deliberately asked Buffett's opinion on the stock market, and then heard Buffett hurriedly said, "I am also very panicked..."

That naturally means that the situation is terrible, worse than you expected.

Jin Ling is concerned about another matter. "Just now you said that Goldman Sachs might be questioned by the US Congress. How about you, won't you?"

"Goldman Sachs will definitely," Feng Yiping said, "but we, even if we do, are going to be a cutscene, just let an individual go there."

The reason why he concluded that Goldman Sachs would be questioned by the US Congress before the US government's rescue plan, that is, the plan to inject capital into financial institutions including Goldman Sachs, was because he knew that Goldman Sachs also purchased CDS.

Feng Yiping's fund purchase of CDS is based on his prediction that housing loan securities will fall. Therefore, it can be regarded as a normal market investment behavior, but it is bolder. It is similar to predicting that one is now popular and is still in Stars in the rising period will soon disappear in the future.

But the nature of Goldman Sachs' purchase of CDS is fundamentally different from Feng Yiping's.

On the one hand, Goldman Sachs is selling CDOs, including subprime loans, to investors, boasting to investors how much returns these bonds will bring.

On the other hand, Goldman Sachs also determined that these CDOs will not only bring benefits, but will also depreciate, so they have purchased CDS contracts.

It's like he said to investors that Jiasheng's stock will rise in the future, so you can buy with confidence and boldly, so you will be charged a large amount of handling fees.

In fact, he feels that Jiasheng’s stock will definitely lose money next, so he is already shorting Jiasheng’s stock...

Such a company that does not take the interests of investors as a matter of importance is doing such tricks at such a time. How can it escape the question of the US Congress in the future?

Besides, if it is revealed in the future that Goldman Sachs is shorting the stocks of their peers such as Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, some people will certainly wonder if the situation is not that bad in the first place. Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers would not go bankrupt, and the subprime mortgage crisis. The impact will not be expanded originally, but Goldman Sachs is working hard behind you for your own short-selling gains?

Think about it again ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wait, the reason Bear Stearns was so incapable in the end, isn't it precisely because of the "just right" "unintentional" leaked email from Goldman Sachs?

So this guy has such a precedent...

In order to calm the public anger, the US Congress naturally had to ask Goldman Sachs to understand.

"On the one hand, the financial market is in a mess, and on the other hand, gold is soaring. This is really a chaotic world, financial chaos," Lao Ma said with emotion.

"Fortunately, we have you, so don't worry about money now." He shook his head. "The days of many companies in China are also tightening. On the one hand, orders are decreasing, and on the other hand, bank loans are getting more and more. Tighter,"

Yes, although our country’s financial system has greatly withstood the impact of subprime mortgages on our financial system, in this globalized today, the negative impact of subprime mortgages on the economy is inevitably passed on to our manufacturing country. .

"Speaking of this, I have an idea," Feng Yiping said. "Look, we have sufficient funds this year, so can this be done? Relying on the data collected by our e-commerce platform, we have good credit. Has a rough credit system been roughly established, based on that data, and then selected some of them that are also competitive, but it is difficult to provide financing support from e-commerce companies with bank loans?"

"Will the regulator allow it?" Jin Ling asked immediately.

Lao Ma immediately brightened his eyes, "Provide financing support for small businesses on our platform? This is good, this is good!"

"Your proposal inspired me. I think we can do more."

“Mr. Jin’s concerns are also very reasonable. It is impossible to get the regulatory agency to agree at least in the short term. However, with our starting point, as long as we keep working hard, we will surely succeed.”
