Age of Dreams

"Quite little, the Maldives can't stand it anymore!"

After the news from the United States came out, the Asian stock market was in turmoil. Qu Liang, the president and general manager of Citibank Chengdu Branch, called with joy.

In April, Xiao Qi discussed with Qu Liang and asked Citibank to help negotiate the sale of undeveloped islands in the Maldives.

Under Xiao Qi's instruction, Qu Liang found a lot of super-rich people and twisted them into a rope to negotiate with the Maldivian government.

They don't buy mature islands, but only those uninhabited and undeveloped islands. The price is still good, but the Maldivian government refused.

The Maldives know that these islands are their lifeblood. If they are sold to others, they will gradually lose the basis of survival. Only by continuously developing these islands and vigorously developing tourism can the people of Maldives be happy. Source.

But they are still too clever. There is nothing wrong with managing travel, but participating in financial transactions is completely at the mercy of others.

I thought that the U.S. bonds of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the most value-preserving, but they bought billions of dollars in U.S. bonds, but now they are in danger of not being able to get them back. This suddenly made these Maldives panic. I don’t know. What can I do.

Since last night, they have contacted several banks including Citibank to see if there is any way to redeem it, even if it loses some money.

But Citibank told them very seriously that early redemption is impossible.

Because at this stage, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can no longer withstand the toss. Tens of billions of bonds cannot be redeemed, and billions of dollars of bonds cannot be redeemed. Otherwise, the dominoes will collapse, which is as high as 100,000. The assets of billions of dollars collapsed. Nothing can be found anymore.

Moreover, the sudden collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is extremely detrimental to the U.S. government and the American people. Even if they are to go bankrupt, they have to slowly go bankrupt and delist after the government takes over. The progress. It must not go bankrupt suddenly, otherwise the United States will be hit hard.

So, at this point, the U.S. government is obviously playing tricks, but what can you do with them?

Just like after World War II, I lied to everyone to store gold in the New York vault. The President of the United States vowed to say that the price will remain the same and you can exchange it at any time... As a result, I didn’t recognize people, and I didn’t recognize the fixed exchange rate of gold at all. . You bought thousands of tons of gold with the same dollars as waste paper. What can you do with him?

Even the United Kingdom and France can't take the United States Zheng Mingyu, let alone the Maldives, a super small country like a flea. Their early redemption demands are bound to be unsatisfied.

But the Maldives cannot do without this US bond as inventory. If people know that the Maldives has no money, then the situation is terrible!

So, Citibank kindly reminded them that some time ago, didn't so many super-rich people want to buy your undeveloped islands? Just sell it to them. In this way, at least hundreds of millions of dollars can be recovered, which can not be said to make up for the shortfall. That can at least make the hands a little more generous.

Anyway, there are so many islands available for development in the Maldives. More than 1,000 islands have sold thirty or forty, and there is no harm at all!

Don't tell me, a group of people in the Maldives government are really tempted.

However, the conditions they offered were unbelievable.

The first one, the island to be sold is up to them. They are usually very remote places with very bad terrain conditions.

The second is the price. In the circle they allocated, the smallest one cost 8 million U.S. dollars and the largest one cost 20 million U.S. dollars.

The third is. Even if these islands are bought by private individuals, they will still have management authority in the future, which means they can still manage other people's things.

At that time, Qu Liang wanted to express condolences to them: Go to your uncle!

This is not called giving them charcoal in the snow, but instead it seems that they are taking advantage of the fire.

Just buying an island, is it so demanding?

As a result, the negotiation was temporarily suspended, and Citigroup decided to ignore the people in Maldives for the time being, and it would continue to create a tense atmosphere for them.

To say that the people at Citi are really bad. Seeing that the negotiation was unsuccessful, they turned around and spread the news. In a blink of an eye, everyone in Male knew it.

To explain here, there are really very few people in the Maldives, and 60% of them live on the slightly larger island in the capital Male’, so as long as the people in Male know about it, the rest are Everyone on the island knows it.

I heard that the money I earned from traveling so hard was ruined by the government so that I couldn't get a penny back. Everyone was furious.

Ten thousand people took to the streets in the first time on Male Island, started protests and demonstrations, blocked in front of the Presidential Palace, and asked the President to come out on his knees and explain.

Then the people on the other big islands, despite the fact that it was getting late, ran over by boat one by one, blocking the main roads of Male’.

The president and the officials were going to come out and explain, but seeing such a scene, for fear that they would be trampled on, they quickly ordered the guards to guard the door tightly so that the door could not be seen.

They did not expect that this news was released by Citi, because they not only asked for help from Citi, but also other banks, etc., and thought it was an official who disclosed it.

At this point, Qu Liang was silent for a while.

He no longer actively contacted the Maldivian government, but instead treated it as if he hadn't mentioned the purchase of islands before.

However, when the Maldives is driven to the limit, they will surely think of Qu Liang.

At that time, the primary-secondary relationship will be reversed, and the initiative of negotiation will be in Qu Liang's hands.

That is, Qu Liang called this call after the layout was completed.

Xiao Qi was like him, not arrogant or impetuous, praised Qu Liang a few words, and hung up on his mobile phone.

If you want to buy good things, you must not be impatient or impatient, otherwise you will not get the best, or the price will not be the most suitable.

After entering the financial crisis mode, there are too many things to buy and want to buy. This small island in the Maldives is just an appetizer, and it is not worth the excitement.

Well, maybe the wives will be more excited.

At present, Xiao Qi's greatest energy is still on the American side.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have reached this point, and they are obviously hard to return.

Xiao Qi remembers very clearly that the US government will take over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at the beginning of next month, and then Wall Street will demand that the US government also accept the two messes of Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers.

The problem is that the U.S. government is not a fool. I am in charge of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. At any rate, I also serve tens of millions of mortgage buyers and tens of millions of people who invest in U.S. bonds. But I accept the notorious Merrill Lynch. What are you doing with Lehman Brothers? Is it to clean up the mess for you after making Wall Street fatten up?

Stop dreaming!

The final decision of the U.S. government is to abandon Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers cleanly and step on the wounds of Wall Street.

Bush is very happy to do this.

Anyway, Obama will be the president next year. Why should I clear the obstacles for him and add more chaos to him!

When they were on stage, they suppressed Wall Street vigorously, and they colluded with Wall Street, constantly exerting pressure on Obama, and the whole thing was a **** stick.

The topic returned.

No matter how the Americans are fighting, it has nothing to do with Xiao Qi.

What he cares about is that the subordinated debt financial derivatives he bought in the United States will definitely have more income in the next six months than in the previous year.

Xiao Qi had already made tens of billions of dollars in profits before, and most of them had already invested in gold futures.

As a result, he did not expect that under Tong Wencong's operation, the profit of this debt crisis was ridiculously high, and at least another 10 billion US dollars could be credited in the next six months, which is much faster than his hard work in the industry.

It's no wonder that so many people like to make money on financial products. This kind of unprofitable business is easier than grabbing money.

In addition, there are some stocks in the hands of Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, which Xiao Qi aims to acquire.

For example, although the giant Texas Instruments is controlled by Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers also have a lot of shares. UU reading www.uukanshu. cm

There are also the stocks of Qualcomm, the world's most powerful chip giant, in the hands of several major investment banks.

There are also stocks that Xiao Qi wants most, and these investment banks still hold some. Although not many, it is also a kind of advance preparation to take advantage of the fire.

The only thing that makes Xiao Qi regret is that the United States has severe restrictions when it comes to high-tech technology. Many companies Xiao Qi cannot directly transfer back to China and can only put it in the North American laboratory of Mingxiang Holdings.

Of course, it’s not impossible. The current era is already in the Internet era, and Mingxiang Holding North America Labs often hold online video conferences with Fairy Labs. There are many technical exchanges. Although the process is a bit tortuous, it can be slow anyway. Slow learning, what we Chinese are best at is learning.

Technologists are the same as those who do business. They are not afraid of hard work, but are afraid that hard work is worthless.

And Xiao Qi directly linked their technical learning and innovation with money and honor awards. Everyone's positive efforts will naturally be enough! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
