Chapter 1519

Two years later.

Songya impatiently loosened her tie, opened her suit, put her hands in her trouser pockets and paced back and forth.

"Aplus, ha!"

Finally, Axelrod, his former public relations consultant, appeared and stretched out his hand all the way. Now he has changed and become a senior adviser to the White House.

Songya squeezed out a smile and greeted him, "David."

"They're waiting for you."

Shaking hands and greeting, Axelrod whispered, "Alicia." Then he hugged song Ya's girlfriend, Diva Alicia case, "I'll let someone show you around here."

"OK."

Alicia case generously agreed.

"Let's go, aplus."

"Yes."

Songya winked at her girlfriend and followed Axelrod, who hurried. They soon entered the Oval Office.

"Aplus! Welcome!"

Michelle and his wife warmly welcomed the old acquaintance with open arms.

"Mr. commander, first lady." Songya hugged them.

"Hey, hey..."

Michelle's husband laughed heartily, "don't see aplus so much, just like in Chicago, please sit down, sit down..."

Songya was pressed on his shoulders and sat on the sofa.

"Now this is ours." Axelrod closed the door and there were four people in the room.

"Met Underwood?"

Michelle sat down opposite and asked.

"Well, before we came, we talked at Chicago's South City Church..."

Songya angrily admitted that she glanced at Michelle's husband, who was behind her on the back of the sofa with her elbows. "You can't do this to him. You can't win this election without Underwood."

Before the election, they promised Underwood the post of secretary of state, but because in the primary election stage of the party, they made a lot of deals with each other in order to persuade the Arkansas Dynasty to retreat, and the great forces such as the Daley Dynasty and the Kennedy Dynasty need to be rewarded on merit.

So... Underwood worked for them for nearly two years before and after running, and finally got nothing. He was still the majority leader of the house of Representatives.

To put it simply, I was fooled by Michelle and his wife.

"We need him to stay in the house of representatives to escort the health care bill. His influence in the house of Representatives can better help us realize our campaign commitments as soon as possible."

Axelrod said, "after all, we have a shallow background and can't do anything."

He did not get the expected chief of staff of the White House. The position of Butler was given to people of the Arkansas Dynasty faction. Of course, he was more trusted by Michelle and his wife.

"Help us placate Underwood aplus." Michelle said.

"I've tried my best to appease." Song Ya answered.

"How do you feel about his mood?" Axelrod asked, "everyone knows his character and is worried..."

"No, he's more concerned about the overall situation."

Songya recalled talking with the Underwood couple at the church door

"I can't believe they shouldn't have done this to you." The palm and back of the hand are politicians who have the closest relationship. Unexpectedly, he can only talk to people and ghost. Of course, he does complain about Michelle and his wife in his heart.

It's more convenient to ask Underwood for help. Underwood is also more straightforward and has no bottom line.

"This is politics, isn't it?"

Underwood looked free and easy as the three stepped down.

His wife Claire naturally scowled, "it's insulting everyone's IQ to use the excuse that we need to stay in the house of representatives during the period of full governance..."

"Don't say that, Claire." Underwood stopped his wife. "Oh, by the way, invitations for the inauguration and dinner." He took out a white envelope from his pocket and gave it to Songya, "the best place."

"Thanks, you always have a way."

Song Ya complimented and comforted, "after the health insurance bill is passed, I believe they will find a way to make up for you."

As a big financier, it is not difficult for Michelle and her husband to get a good position at the inauguration ceremony and the White House dinner. Ms. Sloan tried to run the Bureau of tobacco, alcohol, guns and explosives. After being resolutely spoiled by the anti gun forces in Congress, she became the Secretary of education. Because a + entertainment sold more than 200 million yelemov to control the information agency, Jennifer Connery was there, and Daniel, who had nothing to do, became chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

On merit, many of his men were inserted into various government departments through the revolving door.

"It's all right. I'll ensure that the medical bill is passed. Let the commander don't worry. Just leave it to me." Underwood's sincere assurance.

"That's great..."

"I feel OK." Song Ya recalled, "in fact, you don't need to send messages through me..."

"We want to talk to him when he calms down." Michelle said.

"Alas!"

I didn't come to the White House for this. There's something else important. "You have to mind me, Michelle. The first bank of New Jersey needs more financial support."

In April 2007, the new century financial company applied for bankruptcy protection. In July, Bear Stearns bank suffered huge losses. In August, the residential mortgage investment company applied for bankruptcy protection. In September, Lehman Brothers followed suit. The financial tsunami was completely detonated, and then the giants such as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG insurance were in urgent need.

With the collapse of house prices in the United States, countless ordinary people with housing loans are unable to pay their loans. In some places, houses can't be sold for a meter, and there are sorrows everywhere.

Harley and Mira, who follow the trend of real estate speculation, have suffered a lot, and their ex-wife has also lost a lot, but her ex-wife's financial management has always been relatively stable.

The super financial crisis quickly spread to the world, and its own banks and investment banks were not spared.

Over the years, many of its industries have been financed through the first bank of New Jersey and investment banks, which have a large number of their own health assets. If they are not revived, it will cause a chain reaction.

"Last year, Treasury Secretary Purcell asked chase to inject capital into your bank." Axelrod said, "I heard that Chinese financial capital has also invested money?"

Chase is the only bank that has not been hurt by the financial tsunami.

"Yes, Purcell was nice, but at that time, the Georgians only wanted to keep the two core investment banks of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, which was not enough, far from enough."

George Dynasty, Purcell and other people in power at that time printed money and threw money, but Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers disappeared forever. There were only two major investment banks left on Wall Street. Song Ya could not help but rejoice that Paulson was not in power at the Ministry of finance at that time. Now Morgan Stanley is in a much better position than Goldman Sachs. Purcell certainly gives priority to saving his own people.

Paulson was smart enough to run decisively in early 2007.

"Damn it!"

After more than ten years of mixing with the walkers, song Ya finally needed the help of the state. Song Ya broke a foul word in the Oval Office.

"Your investment bank generally uses a leverage ratio of more than 20 times in the real estate financial derivatives market, and even more than 70 times to the terminal."

Axelrod knows his business very well. "Your bank and investment bank gave you and your executives a lot of dividends and commissions in the face of the financial crisis last year, right?"

“……”

Songya choked and couldn't find anything to refute. It was so dangerous at that time. Of course, he could get back a little. "Wall Street does it! I'm not the only one... If house prices rise, it's not so serious. After deleveraging, it won't be insolvent. Moreover, Anders caused all those disasters. You catch him!"

"Anders?" Michelle's husband doesn't know Anders.

"Anders Eisner, Eisner's youngest son."

Songya now wants to cut Anders alive, although he thought he was a once-in-a-century financial genius, "Er, forget it, just angry words, I promised Eisner to take care of him."

"What do you say?" He found that the other three people in the room stopped talking and pressed questions.

"In the primary last year, you should know how much risk I took to support you."

He also played the emotional card. Last year, when the Arkansas Dynasty refused to admit defeat, they used many tricks against themselves. It's hard to elaborate, but it's really dangerous.

"I know, don't worry, we'll save, aplus."

After consulting his wife and Axelrod, Michelle's husband promised to come down.

That's almost the same. Song Ya took reassurance and his face was a little Ji. "Anyway, it's a big drain..." he muttered in a low voice.

"You should pay more attention to your business aplus. According to your ability, it should not be difficult to prevent in advance, shouldn't it?" Michelle's gentle half coax and half advice.

"I didn't have so much energy. At that time, the housing and bond markets were so hot..."

Song Yaye was somewhat helpless. "You know, I am not always good at avoiding the stock market crash. Every time I eat a full meal, the Internet bubble burst."

After the age of 30, his main energy changed from investing according to the Apocalypse to managing his business empire. He fought with the boards of directors, senior professional managers and shareholders of various companies to achieve his goal by personnel adjustment rather than directly intervening in operation. This transformation also requires a lot of time to learn and is difficult to avoid trial and error.

"Oh, by the way, and aplus, you have to pay back the money you made from the Madoff fund."

Michelle and song yaxu started joking with each other. Axelrod relaxed in the Oval Office and brought the topic back to the subject with Michelle's husband's permission.

"That's none of my business! I'm also a victim!"

Madoff fund was also unable to withstand the financial tsunami. According to the survey, Madoff played a classic Ponzi financial scam. In fact, Madoff has been absorbing new funds to meet the high rate of return expected by old investors. There are many victims of major multinational banks, various trusts and special funds.

The old man Madoff also asked his son to report him on his own initiative, trying to choose his family from the biggest Ponzi scheme in history.

This kind of development surprised song ya, but it was just a coincidence that he made money by taking shit luck and ran away in advance, "no!" Eat into the mouth and spit out? How is that possible?

He grabbed his hand and bullied his neck.

“APLUS……”

Axelrod sat next to him and said seriously, "I don't want you to pay back all, at least return the profits in the retroactive period. The whole world is staring at this case, especially the banks in Europe have suffered heavy losses. We can't help you hide it."

That's hundreds of millions. "Picaul earns more than me. Why should he force me to pay it back if he doesn't spit it out first!"

Songya drags others, and his successor, pikall, is blasted. Over the years, he has made billions in Madoff, and the money has been hidden through various trusts and charitable funds.

"He will return it. There are ways." Axelrod urged: "aplus, your personal reputation has declined sharply after the financial crisis and Madoff scam. According to the survey, now the people have equated you with those Wall Street vampires. In view of your relationship with us, it is also a harm to the image of the commander-in-chief."

Songya shook his head. He recalled a scene in New York.

At that time, he and Amelio's bank executives had a luncheon on Wall Street. People in full dress held wine glasses and smiled at the protesters downstairs. After the financial tsunami, when the gap between the rich and the poor became wider and wider, the American people became more hostile to Wall Street. He saw a cardboard with a big fork on it holding his head in the crowd

"Why are you here?"

He also saw Cassidy's blonde hair. She was like a protest organizer, speaking in front of the crowd with a loudspeaker.

"I joined the tea party movement."

He called Cassidy.

"That's not Sarah Palin's..."

The emerging Tea Party movement is launched at the grass-roots level. They oppose high taxes, high spending and health care reform, and demand to reduce the size of the government. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is one of the leaders.

"Yes, haven't I been her assistant before?" Cassidy looked up. "Are you there?"

"Well, I can see you."

"Wall Street vampire, cold-blooded capitalist!"

They had a good contract in a few words and soon found a place to hug and kiss together in the building

"Aplus, this time the United States has encountered difficulties, great difficulties."

Axelrod is still around to help Michelle and his wife persuade, "you are one of the richest people in the world. You have so many children. If you want your family to have long-term wealth and power like those old money families in the future, you should at least join hands with the country to tide over the difficulties once, even once?"

"No, not yet?"

Song Ya was a little moved by this sentence. He could afford the money himself. The banking crisis did not affect his wealth. In particular, after the rescue strategy joked as "too big to fail" was released last year, no banks and managers were really punished. If the first bank of New Jersey got through this difficulty, his wealth would only be richer.

"Really not." Axelrod replied.

Songya looked at Michelle and his wife. They expressed their attitude in silence.

"All right." Songya nodded.

"That's great." Axelrod was happy.

"Within the retroactive period."

"Of course."

"Picaul first."

"Yes."

"I'll ask someone to make a repayment plan and take it slow."

"Also... OK!"

The atmosphere in the Oval Office finally relaxed again. Michelle's husband patted him on the shoulder and asked Axelrod to pour the wine.

"One more thing." When raising a glass to wish each other well, song Ya proposed again.

"What else?"

"The shooting that year."

He will never forget this deep blood feud. Now is the time when his own people are in power. It's time for the final liquidation.
