Chapter 847: Mona is pregnant, the end
In addition to the $4.75 million that Luo An gave to Michael Bray to purchase CDS financial products, Michael Bray also used $8000 million to short the stocks of investment companies such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

At the beginning, Michael Bray said that as long as federal housing prices began to fall, the $4.5 million financial product could be exchanged for a maximum of $30 billion.

Roan did not take the number Michael Bray said seriously, and his guess was between $10 billion and $15 billion.

Luo An knew the characteristics of those people on Wall Street too well. Turning off the power and unplugging the network cable were the methods they were best at.

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

Goldman Sachs said that its computer system had an unexpected malfunction, Morgan Stanley said that the server host suddenly crashed for unknown reasons, and the same was true for the Federal Bank, which said that their circuit breaker was broken and there was an unexpected power outage.

There were many unexpected events and strange reasons. Michael Bray was so angry that he started cursing. After thinking carefully for a long time, he could see the words between the lines. His mouth was full of two words: default.

Michael Bray was extremely angry, but Roan was not very panicked because as federal housing prices fell, CDS became the hardest currency at this stage.

Not only Michael Bray has purchased the CDS financial product, but Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Federal Bank and others have also purchased a lot for themselves.

On one hand, the federal housing price is bullish, and on the other hand, the federal housing price is bearish, hedging risks. This is a common operation for investment companies such as Goldman Sachs.

This means that federal housing prices fall, and investment companies such as Goldman Sachs also make money.

Investment companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley took this opportunity to sell all of their financial products that were bullish on federal housing prices to downstream companies, and then took the initiative to approach Michael Bray to purchase CDS from him.

Michael Bray also understood the ideas of investment companies such as Goldman Sachs at this time.

It is simply impossible to expect them to pay billions of dollars in compensation according to the CDS bet. The best option is to sell the CDS at a premium.

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

Goldman Sachs and other companies were not very angry about Michael Bray's behavior because they were also shorting their own company's stocks. They made money, no doubt.

Luo An took the folder handed to him by Michael Bray, reached out and slowly opened it, and a long number suddenly appeared in front of him: 18.46 billion US dollars.

"Wow."

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

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

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

Roan took the check, and the number on it was slightly lower: $1.43 million.

"really."

Roan put the check into the folder, looked at Michael Bray with a smile on his face, and said:
"I know that you, Michael Burry, are the best investment expert on Wall Street."

Michael Bray grinned and said:
"Team Leader Luo An is also the client with the best vision on this Wall Street."

After looking at each other, they couldn't help laughing. Michael Brey took out two bottles of champagne. Bang! Bang! The wine splashed everywhere. Both of them were soaked, but no one cared. They laughed and said:
"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Investment of 4.5 million + 0.8 million, totaling 5.4 million US dollars.

More than a dozen months later, the company earned 18.46 billion + 1.43 million, totaling 19.89 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 like Luo An paid him a large commission, and he himself used all his income over the years to buy CDS, and he also reaped a lot of benefits this time.

Michael Bray thought for a moment, took out a gold-plated business card from his desk and handed it to Roan, saying with a smile:
"Next weekend, I plan to hold a grand party in Hawaii, and Team Leader Luo An must come."

After the creation and purchase of CDS, the entire Wall Street mocked Michael Bray for having a mental problem for the next two years.

The owners of the funds controlled by Michael Bray cursed at him and repeatedly demanded that they withdraw their investments.

Michael Bray succeeded in the negotiations yesterday, and these fund owners immediately and seamlessly switched to another face, praising Michael Bray 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 and asked with a smile:
"How is Team Leader Luo An going to celebrate next?"

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

Luo An laughed loudly, and then a gleam flashed in his eyes. He patted Michael Bray on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"But before that, I'm going to do something else."

----

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

In addition to the special investigation team, Reid, Augustus, Reid's wife, Verinice, Supervisor Elmer and others from the No. 5 Investigation Team were 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."

"Thank you."

Today is Mona's birthday. Everyone who sees her greets her with a smile. Mona responds with a smile. Lacey follows her and helps her greet and chat.

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

“I feel like my face is going to freeze from smiling.”

"Me too."

Lacey smiled, then looked around, a hint of barely perceptible envy flashed across 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 was so secretive and didn't let me see what the cake looked like. She said she wanted to give me a surprise."

Lacey's eyes moved slightly, and just as she was about to say something, someone else walked over. Mona walked over with a smile and started chatting, so Lacey had to swallow her words and followed.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was ten o'clock in the evening. The guests gathered around, and Mona stood in the middle as the protagonist of the birthday party. Luo An, who had not appeared before, finally came out from the back pushing a food cart.

The dining cart was not very big, but there was a half-person-high insulation container on it, making it impossible to see the specific appearance of the cake inside.

"Happy birthday, Mona."

Luo An pushed the dining cart past the crowd and moved to Mona. Mona smiled and kissed Luo An lightly on the face, whispering:
"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Luo An laughed, turned around and hugged Mona's slender waist, and said with a smile:
"Open it and take a look."

"OK."

Under the gaze of everyone, Mona walked to the dining car and reached out to take away the thermal insulation container. A large layered cake with seven layers, each layer with different fruits and sprinkled with chocolate, candy and flowers on the sides, appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow."

"it's beautiful!"

Lacey, Chenille and others exclaimed with excitement, while Winslow and other gentlemen smiled and clapped.

Mona's face was full of happiness. She hugged Luo An's arm and said:

"Thank you so 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 released her arms from around Roan, closed her eyes, put her hands together in front of her nose, and made a silent wish.

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

"Mona, I have booked the best suite at the Gstaad Palace Hotel in the Alps for a week, and we..."

"Wait a minute, Roan, I have something to tell you."

Before Luo An could finish, 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. The two lived together and took care of the little new life together.

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

With support from others, sufficient qualifications, rich experience and excellent abilities, Luo An was promoted rapidly with these four qualities and became the youngest leader in the history of a department of the Ministry of Justice.

Luo An selectively ignored the praise, envy, jealousy and other emotions from the people outside. He sat in his office at the Ministry of Justice, analyzing which direction he should go next.

After pondering for a long time, Luo An slowly picked up Maximilian's identity information file, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly smiled:

“The deep state, very interesting.”
