Chapter 478

There was a joke in Hollywood that said: since the big sales of spider man and iron man, what kind of movie is the easiest to make money? The grass cutter on Beverly Hill can tell you to adapt a comic hero movie.

Modern industry oppresses people from the vast land to the industrial assembly line, and urban civilization requires everyone to become the appendage of machines just like the workers in modern times or metropolis.

People can no longer despise unreasonable laws and regulations like swordsmen and cowboys, and can no longer experience the mysterious power of primitive myths and legends.

The superheroes who are free from the law give the modern people new spiritual sustenance.

After 9 / 11, Americans who were seriously hurt in their hearts needed the consolation of heroes. In 2002, amazing (later renamed marvel in rabbit country) Spiderman won the North American box office title, and even the second North American film with box office exceeding 400 million dollars in history.

The meeting in Andy's office didn't last long. Although people were surprised at the target that the boss was going to buy, most of them were Americans. They had different feelings about DC and marvel, the two largest comic companies.

Of course, DC is escorted by Warner. As for marvel, which has always been committed to death, we are also watching it go from glory to decline, to listing, bankruptcy protection and reorganization. Now we rely on mortgage copyright to survive and recover.

It's not so easy to acquire a company with a long history and complicated internal forces after many mergers, even bankruptcy and reorganization. The most important thing is that in recent years, Isaac polmut, CEO of marvel, and several important shareholders are different from the jackals on Wall Street, and they have more feelings and expectations for marvel.

It's a big deal. Andy won't be stupid to buy this entertainment group with his own money, especially he can't control the stock price through the stock market for holding acquisition. He also needs a powerful bank to support some debt problems. Of course, the bank is not a fool. Besides the non-negotiable Commission involved in the acquisition, there are also acquisitions The company's debt management is very profitable.

In the current atmosphere of panic and doubt on Wall Street, every bank involved in the subprime mortgage problem is frightened. As the largest commercial bank in the United States by assets, Bank of America will naturally have many commercial investments.

And the subprime mortgage bonds have been packed into various investment portfolios by the herd of livestock on Wall Street. Let alone the commercial banks in the United States. All the other banks that are optimistic about the American economy and have bought American bonds, even the central banks, are trapped. That's why the subprime mortgage crisis of the United States quickly swept the world's financial market Why.

Bank of America's self inspection made them tremble. To be honest, market manipulation can't avoid these large commercial banks at all. They are also in a hurry to throw the pot out. There has never been a lack of arrogant speculators in the world. For example, Lehman Brothers is the biggest wrongdoer in the market to buy such toxic bonds. That's why the U.S. government The reason why it won't be saved is that no one can stop it.

Today is undoubtedly a sunny and lucky day for people of Bank of America. They also know that Andy Smith, a high-quality customer of Bank of America, has just concluded a deal with Morgan Stanley, but they did not expect happiness to come so soon.

Bank of America has made a lot of investment in Andy before. What kind of low interest loans, what kind of green channel for personal credit loans, it seems that everything is worth it.

Andy's old acquaintance has always been Lewis, who is in charge of contacting his bank of America representative. Well, now he's the manager of the Credit Department of the headquarters, and he's also a big figure on Wall Street.

In the conference room, the people of Bank of America are all looking at Andy Smith sitting opposite. The young man who used to borrow $700 million from their bank by means of means before turned $700 million into $4 billion in just a few months. He's crazy. It's like robbing their bank... Ahhh, robbing banks can't be so fast. After all, banks can't have so much cash.

"Gudong..." Lewis's face remained unbelievable, and he felt thirsty. After taking a sip of mineral water from the table, he calmed down. Looking at Andy, who was smiling calmly, he said, "Mr. Smith, are you sure you want to buy all the 4 billion dollars of paper gold? At the current price of $648 an ounce, you can buy about 174 tons of gold

"Wow, that's quite a lot!" Andy was also slightly surprised at Lewis's mental arithmetic talent. He smiled at his side and the members of the group around him, and continued to laugh at Lewis. "I don't have a big and safe warehouse like the Federal Savings. Although the golden gold is charming, I don't need to withdraw physical gold. I will use the gold savings to borrow money from your bank, OK?"

"Of course! We have always been a solid partner and have been very happy with our cooperation. There is no problem at all, because it is gold as collateral, we can give you excess loans if you need. "Lewis has been full of little stars. NIMA, the Commission alone is enough for them to be happy for a while. Besides, the risk of gold reserve mortgage for their bank is almost nil, and there is no problem with over loan. The bank has 10 billion gold reserves in its hands, so they dare to borrow 100 billion outside.

"In terms of interest rate, please rest assured that our bank will give you the lowest interest rate..."

Andy nodded with satisfaction, another bank with strong foundation of cooperation as a partner was one of the most important factors to make the business bigger and stronger.

Of course, the cash flow must be guaranteed. If modern enterprises want to grow up rapidly, there is no doubt that crazy expansion is the most commonly used means. In the world, there is a saying that enterprises can lose money, but they must have enough cash in hand!

The consequence of the crazy expansion of many companies is that once blocked, there will be the risk of cash flow interruption, and then all kinds of troubles will be highlighted, so that the original star enterprises that stir up the storm will become fraud companies that everyone calls for. (for example, if Lang Youqie wants to build a car in the United States, the loan agreement will be completed soon. The 4 billion US dollars of paper gold and 700 million US dollars of Morgan Stanley's preferred stock purchased by Bank of America will be used as collateral, and a total of 5 billion US dollars will be borrowed from Bank of America.
