The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 785 Save Moody (3)

   "What do you think of this document?"

After another appointment, Al Fran finally did not shut the door to Zhong Shi and others again, but welcomed everyone with a smile on his face. The enthusiastic face made everyone feel flattered, as if he had been coldly greeted a few days ago. Theirs is not the same person.

  Now Al Fran is almost certain of winning, so naturally he won't put on this little show to show everyone's face.

  After a few polite greetings, Zhong Shi gently placed a document as thick as a knuckle in front of Al Fran.

Al Fran didn't open it right away. Instead, he stroked the plastic cover lightly. After a while, he asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Zhong is a world-renowned financier. What do you think about the subprime mortgage crisis?" ?”

   "What do you think?"

Zhong Shi took out a cigarette case and shook it at the other party. After the other party refused, he took out a cigarette and lit it, took a long puff, and then said, "They are all liars, a group of people who are too greedy. "

   "..."

  Al Fran seemed quite surprised by Zhong Shi's answer. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

  He originally thought that Chung-shik was just like them, if not a typical Wall Streeter. But Zhong Shi expressed his position so clearly, which made him a little at a loss.

  Not only him, but even Lisa and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Zhong Shi in disbelief.

  However, Al Fran is not an easy role to be a member of Congress. After turning his cloudy eyeballs around a few times, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhong, you didn't say these things just to please me, to make me happy, did you?"

   After he finished speaking, he shook his head, pointed at the bell stone with his finger, and said with a smile, "It's such a surprise."

   "Dare I lie to the Constitution?"

  Zhong Shi immediately sat up straight, and said with a serious expression, "I don't have any need to lie in front of a congressman from the United States of America."

  Because Congress is the place where the United States is responsible for enacting and revising laws, Zhong Shi here uses the U.S. Constitution to represent the other party, which not only praises the other party, but also expresses his solemn heart.

  After all, for anyone present, the Constitution of the United States has an unparalleled sacred status in their hearts.

   "You really confuse me when you say that!"

  The smile on Al Fran's face immediately retracted, replaced by a dignified look, "Mr. Zhong, can you explain to me why they are liars and greedy guys?"

"this is very simple!"

Zhong Shi shrugged, spread his hands, and patiently explained, "In fact, the entire subprime housing loan bond is based on the fact that housing prices in the United States have been rising. But everyone knows that housing prices have been rising No way. You know it, I know it, and even the guys on Wall Street know it.”

  "But since we know that there will be a crash sooner or later, then Wall Street continues to squeeze into this market one after another. What is it if it is not greed?"

With a mocking smile, Zhong Shi continued, "It's like a Ponzi scheme. The people involved knew what was going on, but they didn't think they were the last ones to take over. On the contrary, they encouraged Others also come in. A person who can do this kind of deceiving and deceiving himself is not a liar, what is it?"

   "Wonderful!"

  Al Fran clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "I never thought that those high-ranking figures on Wall Street would be so unbearable in the eyes of Mr. Zhong. After all, they are just a group of greedy liars. It's so interesting."

   "However, what I still want to know is, Mr. Zhong, how do you think you are different from them?"

The next moment, Al Fran changed the subject, pointed the finger at Zhongshi, and asked meaningfully, "Or deep down in your heart, do you position yourself as a less greedy liar, or do you have a relationship with them?" Fundamentally different people?"

  When Zhongshi and Wall Street separated, Al Fran became more vigilant. After all, if Zhongshi looked down on Wall Street like this, there was absolutely no reason to work for them.

   And now that Zhong Shi came to the door by himself, it must be because of Moody's matter, and Al Fran has a clear understanding of this from beginning to end.

   "I am the savior!"

  Zhong Shi once again made a shocking statement, which directly made everyone so excited that no one said a word for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the speechless people on the left and right, Zhong Shi smiled slightly, and then explained, "For me, it is the defender of the normal financial order in this world. Uh...that's how I position myself. Since Wall Street is so greedy, I naturally want to Make a move, and it is my duty to eliminate their insatiable greed."

   "So, Mr. Zhong is against Wall Street?"

Al Fran was keenly aware of the meaning of Zhong Shi's words, and asked quickly, then looked at the staff who were consulted by Bellan beside Zhong Shi, and added meaningfully, "Or , ever against Wall Street?"

"you can say it this way!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Shi readily admitted, "During the subprime mortgage crisis, I once shorted Lehman Brothers, Bear Stone, Merrill Lynch, Stanley, and Goodman. Of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, I have It didn't fall."

"what?"

  Although he is a member of Congress, Al Fran still gasped when he heard the news. Although he is not a professional, he also knows what it means to be short. Seeing Zhong Shi say these things so frankly, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration in his heart.

   It was the first time for Lisa and the others to hear the news that Zhongshi shorted the five major investment banks. At this moment, their eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement just like Al Fran's. However, due to the occasion and status, they can only bury these questions deep in their hearts forever.

  “Rather than saying that I am against Wall Street, it is better to say that I am against human nature!”

Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhong Shi continued, "The Bible says that people have seven deadly sins, and greed is one of them. I am fighting against the greed of the market. It is because of this that I can get to where I am today. Wall Street Those guys also know, so we didn't form a hatred, but an alliance of interests."

   "That's fun!"

After listening to Zhong Shi's explanation, Al Fran lowered his head slowly, and his eyes fell on the document Zhong Shi delivered to him earlier, "You can take advantage of other people's greed, but you don't know Mr. Zhong, you can Can't get over your greed?"

   "About this document?"

Following the gaze of the other party, Zhong Shi also looked at this document, and after looking at it meaningfully for a while, he said with a chuckle, "Mr. Fran, you might as well read the contents of this document before making a judgment." Not too late!"

   "Good! Good! Good!"

  Al Fran also laughed, and looked back at Zhongshi meaningfully, then opened the folder and began to read the document seriously.

  Although these documents are quite thick, there is a general article on the first few pages, which roughly introduces the contents of these documents. After Al Fran finished reading these things, his face turned red.

  “I am not only good at using greed to make money, but also good at using greed to solve troubles.”

Zhong Shi took the last puff of his cigarette, buried the cigarette **** deeply in the ashtray, and twisted it vigorously a few times before he said with a smile, "Well, this plan can still help Mr. Fran's troubles ?"

"Humph!"

Al Fran's expression changed immediately, he stood up abruptly, narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhongshi for a while, and then said in a bad tone, "There may be another explanation. That is, I am your trouble , so you want to solve my troubles through this document. Is that right, Mr. Zhong? I think this explanation is more reasonable!"

   "Reasonable, very reasonable!"

This time it was Zhong Shi's turn to applaud the other party. He laughed while clapping his hands, and laughed so hard, "Mr. Fran, I admire your imagination very much, and attribute everything we have done to a conspiracy. But You are completely wrong, we are not using you, but for business and profit considerations. Of course, we agree that if Minnesota can be under your control, this transaction will make more sense. "

   "It seems that you all know everything!"

   Al Fran gave Zhongshi a complicated look, and asked again, "But what if Minnesota is not under my control?"

   "We didn't think about that possibility!"

Zhong Shi said bluntly, "I think if Mr. Congressman really wants to run for election, this bill will be of great help to you. After all, it can help Minnesota provide so many labor jobs. I believe voters will not reject this bill. planned."

"Also, don't think that we are making a deal with you. As I have already said, this is considered from the perspective of business and interests. In fact, according to the data we monitor, real estate across the United States, including Minnesota, has shown signs of recovery. After serious consideration, we decided to intervene in the real estate market again, and Minnesota is one of our pilots.”

   "So it seems that I can't refuse this document?"

  Al Fran sat down slowly, stroked his smooth chin, and said leisurely after a while, "Don't take me for a fool, tell me, what do you want from us?"

  In the choice between suppressing Wall Street and ascending to the governor's throne, he finally chose the latter.

   I have to say that this is a wise choice, and smart people will choose this way.

   "Let Moody die!"

  The people who were consulted by Belan immediately showed joy, and glanced at each other, knowing that this strategy finally worked. But even at the end, the rhythm of the entire conversation was still controlled by Zhong Shi.

"I believe Mr. Congressman, you are also very clear that according to the standards of the SEC's 'National Recognized Statistical Rating Organization', whether it is Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch, there are no shakes. Without these three organizations, the entire rating agency Even if the cornerstone is collapsed. In addition, in the SEC's law, the "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" can be exempted from being prosecuted for transmitting misleading information or deceiving investors. Even institutions such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's There is deliberate deception of investors, and they will not be prosecuted."

   "The most important point is the First Amendment to the Constitution. Citizens of the United States of America have the right to freedom of speech. Mr. Fran, you don't think you can challenge the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by biting Moody?"

   These few words of Zhong Shi directly shattered Al Fran's last fantasy.

  Challenging the amendments to the U.S. Constitution is basically a matter of subverting the U.S. national system. As a member of the Congress, Al Furlan has the deepest understanding of the sanctity and unshakability of the U.S. Constitution and Constitutional Amendments. He didn't think he was capable of challenging even a constitutional amendment.

  In fact, Al Fran is also very clear that even if he can catch Moody's handle and really want to take them to court, in addition to protracted time, there is still the possibility of losing the lawsuit. He couldn't swallow this breath before, but now the other party not only sent a ladder to get down the wall, but also added a huge gift. Under this situation, he couldn't help but make other choices.

   "This matter has become too big!"

After pondering for a long time, Al Fran said leisurely, "It's definitely impossible to stop the drums all at once, and it's hard to explain all aspects. But what I can guarantee is that after communicating with the SEC, I will give Give them a satisfactory answer."

"Can!"

  Zhong Shi stood up without hesitation, and stretched out his hand towards the other party, "Have a nice cooperation, Mr. Congressman. No, it will be Mr. Governor soon!"

   "Happy cooperation!"

   After staring at Zhong Shi with a complicated expression for a while, Al Fran showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said the same thing to Zhong Shi.
