They are all reborn, and the grandson is still a spare tire

He gave it to us directly without any concealment. How come this little bastard is even more like a robber than us!

Paulson complained to himself, feeling so depressed.

Then he exchanged a quick glance with Geithner, and then explained his purpose.

"That's right, Mr. Yao Yuan. The current international financial market is getting worse and worse. The subprime mortgage crisis is even showing signs of developing into a financial crisis!"

"You were the first person to point out the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis. Jiuye Investment Group is a super short seller in the international financial market. I believe you are very clear about this."

"So let's not beat around the bush. We need to unite all forces to jointly resolve the crisis at hand and prevent the outbreak of a financial crisis as much as possible."

"Jiuye Investment Group is an important member of the international financial market and is very powerful. Naturally, we cannot stay out of it."

"I hope you can play an active role and work with us and Wall Street to jointly respond to this major crisis and get the international financial market back on track!"

Yao Yuan was somewhat surprised after hearing what Paulson said.

When did these damn foreign devils change their nature? They actually learned to tell the truth instead of using all kinds of nonsense to fool me, or even intimidate and force me to rescue the market!

Not only him, but most people, including Vice President Wang and others, were somewhat stunned by the US's attitude!

Such a scene has rarely been seen!

In the past, didn’t the American representatives who appeared at the negotiation table always act arrogant and act like they were the boss and he was second only to them?

How come he has completely changed today? His eyes are much clearer.

Could it be that the sun rises from the west?

Little did anyone know that just now, Paulson and his team had decided to change their negotiation strategy!

They understood that applying extreme pressure on Yao Yuan might not only have no effect, but might even backfire!

That's why we lowered our stance and treated Yao Yuan and Jiuye Investment as opponents with sufficient weight and conducted normal negotiations!

The reason for this change is closely related to Yao Yuan's consistent tough stance and the list of commercial spies he just took out!

Yao Yuan nodded and said with a smile:

"Mr. Minister, you are right. We are well aware of how bad the current international financial market environment is!"

"But there is one thing I don't quite agree with you. In my opinion, a global financial crisis is inevitable and will break out sooner or later. It is not subject to anyone's will!"

"As a member of the international financial market, Jiuye Investment certainly hopes that the financial market order can return to normal, and is willing to work hard for it and will never stand aside!"

"As for jointly responding to this crisis with you, I don't think it's necessary. If everyone does their own thing well and moves in the same direction, we can naturally play the role of jointly responding to the crisis."

"In this regard, if you have any requirements or good ideas, you can definitely bring them up and we can discuss together to see if there is any possibility of cooperation!"

Paulson and the others all paused, feeling their teeth itching, but there was nothing they could do!

This damn little fox is so damn cunning, I won’t fall for it at all!

Vice President Wang and Director Li, who were attending the meeting, were all smiling and nodded in appreciation!

Perhaps there are people in this world who are born with knowledge, and this cunning little fox in front of us is obviously one of the best!

Otherwise, some things are hard to explain!

For example, how could he, who was so young and hadn’t even graduated from college, see through the trap set by Paulson at a glance and not fall into it at all?

Thinking of this, the admiration in Vice President Wang's eyes suddenly became even stronger!

The next moment, Paulson finally responded.

"We can each have different opinions on whether this financial crisis will break out and when it will break out!"

"But we do have some requirements and ideas on how to deal with this crisis and even eliminate it, and we would like to discuss them with you!"

At this point, he suddenly turned around and looked at the CEO of Lehman Brothers Bank with a very sharp look, even revealing a bit of contempt!

Then he turned back and said:

"As far as I know, the financial situation of Jiuye Investment Group is very healthy. It has no bad debts, and it can even be said that it has no debts. It has a huge amount of funds!"

"As the subprime mortgage crisis has developed to this point, Jiuye Investment has made staggering profits by shorting the international financial market and is the biggest winner in the subprime mortgage crisis."

"Now that the international financial market is on the brink of a financial crisis, shouldn't Jiuye Investment Group make some contribution? Instead of just focusing on making money!"

"We hope that Jiuye Investment can limit its short selling and not push the international financial market into the abyss of financial crisis, and become a constructive institutional investor."

"In addition, we hope that Jiuye Investment can use the massive amount of funds at its disposal to inject vitality into the international financial market, especially inject more funds into the financial market of the United States."

"For example, you can buy more U.S. Treasuries and other bonds, including Fannie and Freddie bonds, to provide support to many Wall Street financial institutions."

"We can even go a step further and invest in mergers and acquisitions of some large financial institutions on Wall Street, such as Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch."

"If you are willing to acquire some of the troubled large Wall Street financial institutions, the U.S. Treasury Department, the SEC Committee, and the Federal Reserve will do their best to facilitate the relevant transactions..."

Upon hearing this, there was an immediate burst of exclamations from the audience.

Although we knew Paulson would bring up these things, we were still shocked when we actually heard him say them!

What was particularly surprising was that Paulson came to Hong Kong Island this time not only to sell Lehman Brothers Bank, but also to sell Merrill Lynch Securities.

That’s the third largest investment bank on Wall Street and one of the largest financial management consulting firms in the world!

As of now, Merrill Lynch manages assets worth one to two trillion US dollars, has tens of thousands of employees, and has branches all over the world!

Such a world-class investment bank with a long history and great reputation has actually reached the brink of bankruptcy and was being sold around the world by Paulson!

This shows how bad the situation of Merrill Lynch is!

While everyone was feeling sad for Merrill Lynch, they couldn't help but feel proud of it!

This pride stems from the strength of Jiuye Investment Group, so strong that Paulson even believed that Jiuye Investment could swallow up the astonishingly large Merrill Lynch in one gulp!

If Jiuye Investment really swallows up Merrill Lynch, this merger will surely cause a sensation in the entire international financial market and become one of the largest financial mergers and acquisitions in history!

After completing the merger and acquisition, Jiuye Investment Group is likely to soar into the sky and become a super entity that can compete with Goldman Sachs for the throne of the world's number one investment bank!

But is there really such a good thing in the world? Will pie really fall from the sky?

Could this be a poison that looks delicious but is actually deadly?

While everyone was excited, they were secretly murmuring.

When Yao Yuan heard that Paulson also put Merrill Lynch Securities on the table for sale, he was also a little surprised and did not respond immediately!

This was a little unexpected for him, but not very surprising!

In the previous life, Merrill Lynch almost went bankrupt, and it was not until the last moment that it was acquired by the Bank of America at a low price!

The financial merger and acquisition transaction was brokered by the US Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and other financial market management agencies!

But in this life, Paulson has set his sights on the Jiuye Investment Group, which has a huge amount of funds!
