Vol 6 Chapter 573: Red line

? Peanut Tun, District of Columbia.

The dispute in South Ossetia, which was smashed by Russia with a hum, has been smashed to an end.

In this process, although the American destroyer Arleigh Burke arrived in the Black Sea a long time ago, it was restricted by the red line drawn by Russia's hegemony and could only throw a pile of mineral water and medicines at Saakashvili, who was full of expectations. , And left dingy.

But it was not easy to completely leave the Black Sea, so he wandered further away, condemning and calling on both parties in the conflict to be polite and calm. It is estimated that while he is still afraid, this bear, he really dares to kill. !

In short, although the bottom line of Mao Xiong has been tried out, in the international arena, among allies, in front of the younger brother, they lose even more. It can be said that they have lost face and lost li...

As a last resort, the politicians had no choice but to put their energy back to the economic realm. As a result, Paulson, who had less and less hair and a dull voice, became the central figure again.

At this time, in the meeting room of the Ministry of Finance, the senior management team of Fannie Mae, who was called in, was presenting a beautifully-made PPT to Paulson and the heads of the Federal Housing Finance Bureau.

It's just that the content of this PPT is not beautiful at all. To sum it up, we have tried our best, but we have no way to get a penny from the market.

In other words, we are no longer the boss.

During the demonstration, Daniel Madd, who has served as the president of Fannie Mae since 2004, and several vice presidents have been paying attention to Paulson who is sitting opposite.

It looks like things are going well?

Because they are always picky, they have interrupted their presentations and even their speeches many times before, and repeatedly asked some questions until he got a satisfactory answer. Paulson was very quiet this time. Although his face was serious, he nodded from time to time. .

This makes Mad and the others a little relieved, it seems that he understands our difficulties.

So it seems that the situation is still more optimistic.

After the presentation, Ma De began to speak. Of course, he used the rhetoric they most hoped to use. "Everyone, in the past month or so, we have been working **** financing. It should be said that our The results are also good,"

"After trying our best, we finally got this figure close to $8 billion,"

The Minister of Finance, who could still see a small scar on his forehead, immediately recalled that this figure should be 7.4 billion US dollars, not close to 8 billion US dollars.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any more ways to raise funds now," Ma De said with a pained expression, "and you must be very clear about the difficulties we are currently facing."

Of course, we are aware of the difficulties you are facing. That is a big problem that cannot be solved even with US$74 billion.

"We have repeatedly reviewed the current situation and found that the most important point is that our capital adequacy ratio still meets the legal requirements."

What this means is that their debt ratios, their capital and risk capital ratios all meet the statutory requirements, and regulators cannot take measures against them.

"The reason why we are facing the current dilemma is mainly because of the market and the general environment."

Isn't this terrible market and environment formed by you?

"We have to say that the reason why Fannie Mae is facing the current predicament is closely related to the requirements of the federal government."

"For the long time, for the purpose of allowing more people to own houses, many governments have repeatedly asked us to make more efforts for this and let us buy more mortgages."

Paulson couldn't help but think of some of his international colleagues, especially those in China.

They have been criticizing their Chinese counterparts for excessively intervening in economic activities, which in fact caused unfair and unfair competition.

But now it seems that at least Chinese colleagues also have their own difficulties.

And Ma De's next speech made Paulson even more sympathetic to his Chinese counterparts.

"In view of the current market conditions and the difficulties we are encountering, we hope that the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Reserve can provide emergency funding assistance to us. On behalf of the management team, I assure you that we will make good use of these funds and will lead Fannie Mae as soon as possible. Out of the woods,"

Paulson subconsciously touched the place where his forehead was smashed. When I wanted to come to my colleagues in China, I would definitely hear such funding requests from state-owned enterprises.

We can't do it, unless you can coordinate the loan.

He believes that his Chinese counterparts, in the face of such a situation, will most likely compromise when considering employment and considering the impact.

But we would not do that.

If there is a problem in operation, it is all our responsibility? Nonsense!

We must inject capital into you. Can't we interfere with your business? dream!

You may not have figured out one thing. I am different from my Chinese colleagues. My term of office only has more than one quarter left. I will not be scared by you.

"Come here," he stood up.

Except for him, everyone in the conference room looked at each other. What do you mean by this?

Fannie Mae's group is even more at a loss. What should you do? You still don't have a word.

"Hank," Madd shouted, standing up.

But he only saw the shining back of Paulson's head, going further and further.

…………

Paulson, who was calm on the surface and angrily in his heart, soon returned to the office and called Bush Jr.

"I suddenly understood the difficulties of Chinese colleagues," he said.

Fannie Mae, in essence, is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise. Like the person in charge of a Chinese state-owned enterprise, Fannie Mae’s many former presidents later also held important positions in the government, and they have many prominent politicians.

However, since there are friends, there are naturally enemies, and there are many people within the government who have trouble with them.

In the second year after George W. Bush took office, in 2002, dissatisfaction with the two houses became the mainstream in the Bush administration.

At that time, the former director of Clinton’s Office of Government Management and Budget, Daniel Madd’s predecessor, Franklin Delano Rains, then president of Freddie Mac, even sent a message to Bush’s Chief of Staff Card. An unusually intense letter.

After that letter was disclosed, it has since then been given a resounding and exclusive title: "f--kyou" letter.

Now, this Madder has tasted bitter fruit for his predecessor.

Bush asked, "Hank, what are you going to do?"

"Mr. President, I think the first thing these guys need to hear is the sound of their head hitting the wall," Paulson said.

"Yes Hank, of course you can do that," the president said.

Paulson knew that he could start planning related actions, but at this time, he couldn't help but think of Feng Yiping.

After he took action, how much could he gain by shorting the two rooms?

Most of them will be beyond their expectations.

That's such a lucky guy!

…………

At this time, Feng Yiping was not the only one who thought of him.

In Silicon Valley, Meyer was listening to a report from a team under her in the office. As always, she was more critical than Paulson. During the report of the team leader, she unceremoniously interrupted his speech. Wait, about this..."

When everyone was waiting for her to follow, her mouth suddenly pursed tightly. She pressed the phone on the table, and immediately, her assistant hurried in with a glass of water and a folder, "Meyer Well, this matter needs you to deal with it immediately,"

She looked at the report of the three-person team, "We need 5 minutes,"

Meyer nodded at them, and the three immediately said, "We will come back in 5 minutes."

As soon as the door closed, Mayer kicked out of the trash can, clutching his chest, suppressing his voice and retching.

Two minutes later, she took the glass of water and took a sip~www.wuxiaspot.com~Feng Yiping, you bastard! "

At this time, the assistant was swiftly tying the garbage bags, replacing them with new ones, and spraying perfume.

Five minutes later, the reporting person entered her office again and found that Meyer was still so powerfully waiting for them to answer her questions, and the office seemed to be more fragrant.

In fact, they have heard about Mayer’s recent work that needs to be dealt with immediately.

At Google, some people also vaguely know the reason. The most brilliant senior woman in Silicon Valley should be pregnant.

In fact, in Silicon Valley, the topic of "The goddess is pregnant, who did it?" There has been a flying posture, and multiple versions have been derived.

However, not to mention the mainstream media, even those gossip blogs that dare to explode in any material, and they did not disclose the news. It seems that someone has drawn them a bar, so that they dare not step beyond the thunder pool.
