Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 847 Mona is pregnant, the ending

In addition to the US$475 million in funds given to Michael Burry by Luo An to purchase CDS financial products, there was also US$80 million used by Michael Bray to short the stocks of investment companies such as Morgan Stanley Goldman Sachs.

 At the beginning, Michael Bray said that as long as federal housing prices began to fall, the $450 million in financial products could be exchanged for up to $3 billion.

Roan did not take the number mentioned by Michael Brey to heart. He guessed that the number was 1 billion to 1.5 billion US dollars.

Luo An knows the characteristics of those people on Wall Street very well. Turning off the power and unplugging the network cable are their best methods.

As expected, New World Financial Corporation declared bankruptcy some time ago, which shocked the people of the Federation. House prices in the Federation fell accordingly. When it came time for investment companies to pay for financial products, these companies immediately started the old routine.

Goldman Sachs said that its computer system unexpectedly failed, Morgan Stanley said that the server host suddenly crashed for no apparent reason, and the Commonwealth Bank did the same, saying that their power switch was broken and there was an unexpected power outage.

There were many surprises, and the reasons were weird. Michael Bray was so angry that he cursed loudly. After thinking carefully for a long time, he could see the words between the words, and there were two words written on his mouth: repudiation.

 Michael Bray is extremely angry, but Luo An is not very panic about this, because federal housing prices have fallen, and CDS has become the hardest currency at this stage.

 CDS is a financial product that not only Michael Bray purchased, but also Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Commonwealth Bank, etc. also purchased a lot for themselves.

One hand is bullish on federal house prices, and the other hand is bearish on federal house prices, hedging risks. This is a routine operation of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs.

This means federal home prices fall, and investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are equally profitable.

Investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley used this to first sell all their financial products that were bullish on federal housing prices to downstream companies, and then proactively approached Michael Bray to acquire CDS from him.

 Michael Bray also figured out the thinking of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs at this time.

It is impossible for them to pay billions of dollars in compensation according to the CDS bet. Selling the CDS at a premium is the best option.

 So Michael Bray began tug-of-war negotiations with investment companies such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Commonwealth Bank. While negotiating, he also shorted the stocks of several companies at the same time.

Companies such as Goldman Sachs are not very angry about Michael Brey's behavior because they themselves are also shorting their own company's stocks, making money, don't shudder.

Roan took the folder handed to him by Michael Bray, reached out and slowly opened it, and a long number suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: 1.846 billion US dollars.

"Wow."

Luo An's eyes lit up. This number was indeed beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

 Michael Bray also had a smile on his face, and then handed Luan another check and said with a smile:

“This is the profit from shorting the stocks of companies such as Goldman Sachs.”

 Luo An took the check, and the number on it was slightly lower: $143 million.

 “Sure enough.”

Roan put the check into the folder, looked at Michael Bray with a smile on his face, and said:

“I know that Michael Bray is the best investment expert on Wall Street.”

 Michael Bray grinned and said:

“Team leader Luo An is also the most discerning customer on Wall Street.”

　　Looking at each other, the two of them couldn't help laughing loudly. Michael Buray took out two bottles of champagne, and bang! Bang! Drinks splashed everywhere, and both of them were soaked, but no one cared, and laughed:

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

 Investment of 450 million + 80 million, totaling 540 million US dollars.

 Twelve months later, the revenue was 1.846 billion + 143 million, totaling 1.989 billion US dollars.

 Luo An’s eyes lit up, this was definitely the most successful investment in his life.

 Michael Bray was also very excited. Customers such as Luo An paid him a large commission. He himself also used all his income over the years to buy CDS, and he also gained a lot this time.

 Michael Bray thought for a while, found a gold-plated business card from his desk and handed it to Luo An, smiling:

“Next weekend, I plan to hold a grand party in Hawaii, and Team Leader Luo An must come.”

  In the following two years after this creation and purchase of CDS, the entire Wall Street mocked Michael Brey for having something wrong with his brain.

  The owners of the funds controlled by Michael Bray even yelled at Michael Bray one after another and demanded to withdraw their capital several times.

　　Yesterday, Michael Bray’s negotiation was successful. The owners of these funds immediately switched seamlessly to another face. They all praised Michael Bury for his vision and high level, and then happily took away their gains.

 Michael Bray was so disgusted by these people that he wanted to vomit. Compared to those guys, Roan was definitely his favorite client.

 “Party in Hawaii?”

Luo An raised his eyebrows, took the business card and agreed. Michael Bray drank the champagne in one gulp, and then asked with a smile:

 “How does Team Leader Luo An plan to celebrate next?”

 “Party, travel, eat, drink and have fun, whatever makes you happy.”

Luo An laughed loudly, and then a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He patted Michael Bray on the shoulder and said with a smile:

 “But before that, I’m going to do another thing first.”

　　——

  Sunday, at 8:30 pm, the special investigation team gathered together in a restaurant in New York.

In addition to the special investigation team, Ryder, Augustus, Ryder's wife, Veranith, Director Elmer and others from the No. 5 investigation team are also there.

Mr. Clement had no time, so he sent his secretary over, who walked into the restaurant with Trick Kennedy. “Happy birthday, Mona.”

"Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

Today is Mona’s birthday. Everyone who meets her smiles and takes the initiative to say hello to her. Mona responds with a smile, and Lacey is beside her to help her say hello and chat.

Finding some free time to walk aside, Mona picked up the red wine, took a sip, and whispered to Lacey:

 “I feel like my face is almost frozen with laughter.”

"Me too."

 Lacie smiled, then looked around, with a hint of imperceptible envy flashing in her eyes, and asked:

 “Where’s Luo An?”

 “He went to the back to get the cake.”

Mona put down her glass and complained:

 “She’s so mysterious that she never lets me see what the cake looks like. She says she wants to give me a surprise.”

  Lacey’s eyes moved slightly, and just as she was about to say something, someone else came over next to her. Mona smiled and went to chat, and Lacey had to swallow her words and followed.

Time moved forward minute by minute, and soon it was ten o'clock in the evening. The guests were surrounding, Mona stood in the middle as the protagonist of the birthday party, and Luo An, who had never appeared, finally pushed a dining cart from behind. out.

The dining car is not very big, but there is a half-person-high heat preservation device attached to it, making it impossible to see the exact appearance of the cake inside.

 “Happy birthday, Mona.”

 Luo An pushed the dining cart and moved from the crowd to Mona. Mona, with a smile on her face, kissed Luo An gently on the face and whispered:

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Luo An chuckled, turned around and hugged Mona's slender waist, and said with a smile:

 “Open it and take a look.”

 “OK.”

Under the eyes of everyone, Mona walked to the dining car and reached out to take out the heat preservation appliance. A large layered cake with seven layers, each layer filled with different fruits, and sprinkled with chocolate, candies, and flowers appeared on the side. in front of everyone.

"Wow."

"it's beautiful!"

Lacey and Chenelle exclaimed with excitement, while Winslow and other men laughed and clapped.

Mona’s face was full of happiness, she hugged Luo An’s arm and said:

 “Thank you very much, this is the best cake I have ever seen.”

 “As long as you like it.”

Luo An smiled, then lit the candles on both sides of the cake one by one, and said:

 “The next step is to make a wish.”

"Listen to you."

Mona loosened her arm around Luo An, closed her eyes, put her hands together in front of her nose, and silently made a wish.

A few seconds later, Mona opened her eyes, and everyone began to cheer and distribute cakes to taste the delicious food. Luo An walked up to Mona, looking at the lively scene in the restaurant with a smile, and whispered:

“Mona, I’ve booked the best suite in the Gstaad Palace Hotel in the Alps for a week, and we…”

 “Wait a minute, Luo An, I have something to tell you.”

Before Luo An could finish speaking, Mona interrupted him. Then she raised her head and stared into Luo An's eyes, whispering:

"I am pregnant."

  “?!”

　　——

 Nine months later, Mona gave birth to a girl, and the father of the child was Luo An.

 Because the shadow left by her mother was too great, Mona always refused to marry Luo An, so the two lived together and took care of their little new life together.

Luo An continued to lead the special investigation team to handle the case. Two years later, he was promoted again and entered management work.

 There are people behind him who have sufficient qualifications, rich experience and excellent abilities. With these four entries, Luo An has risen through the ranks and has become the youngest leader in the history of a certain department of the Ministry of Justice.

Luo An selectively ignored the praise, envy, jealousy and other emotions of those outside. He was sitting in the office of the Ministry of Justice, analyzing which direction he should take next.

After thinking for a long time, Luo An slowly picked up Maximilian’s identity information file, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slowly:

 “Deep state, very interesting.”
