Chapter 498
In the World Trade Center in New York, in this iconic building in New York and even America, negotiations between the stick delegation and the Federal Monetary Fund are being held.
Today's negotiation is a closed-door meeting. Except for those who have been involved in finance, banking and other departments, the rest are representatives of the Federal Monetary Fund, and some consultants, led by Robert Robinson's confidant David Lipton, as well as a number of institutions on Wall Street are included.
The media who were watching the specific content of the negotiation are still unknown, but just watching it lasted for a long time without any movement, you can know how intense the negotiation inside is.
A plane landed at Gimpo Airport in Seoul. Steve Collison and Marcus stepped off the plane. Everywhere they saw it, they could feel an atmosphere of loss and anxiety.
There are very few planes that enter Seoul. Most of them are families with their families.
The car was driving on the streets of Seoul, which is known as one of the most prosperous cities in Asia. Collison and Marcus saw that the doors of shops and supermarkets were closed, and there were protesting crowds on the road. Holding a sign to protest the move of the stick to ask for help from the American Monetary Fund and Wall Street.
In the past few days, what the **** is the American Monetary Fund has been reported by the major TV stations of Bangzi in turn. Even the housewives of Bangzi are pickling pickles while discussing national affairs. Do personnel affairs, make the stick look like this bear...
In media reports, from the American Monetary Fund to the famous Marshall Plan, a Marshall Plan has completely turned Europe into an American horse boy.
America's Federal Monetary Fund is even worse than the original Marshall Plan. Once it receives the support of the Federal Monetary Fund, the stick will never turn around, and the whole stick will become a wage earner in America.
This point, the economists of Bangzi, also see it clearly, and it has caused resistance from many people in Bangzi. They don't want people in the municipal department of Bangzi to sell Bangzi for money. For the stick, it is really hard to accept!
This is how Marcus and Collison came into being. In the scene I saw on the street today, sitting in a bulletproof car, Marcus and Collison consciously closed the windows of the car, and the stick in the vortex No one can guess what they will do when they see these two ghosts.
Even if there are American soldiers stationed in Seoul, it may not be possible to rescue them in time, which is a problem. Both of them are worth a lot of money now, but they are not interested in taking risks.
The car moved forward all the way, watching the growing crowd of protesters, Collison was a little puzzled, the stick had already reached this field, and he refused to admit defeat, even his life was about to die, what was he still holding on to?
When the car turned a corner, there was a sudden confusion in the crowd, and Collison was taken aback. Then he saw several police vehicles running over. After a confrontation, a group of police rushed in and took a person from the Arrested from the bank.
Seeing this scene, Collison was stunned. He didn't expect that Bangzi had come to such a field now. In broad daylight, everyone would go to the bank to die. Looking at the man who was taken away, Collison felt that the man was not Like a recidivist, the man's figure is a bit bloated, but he feels a bit pampered. I don't know how he would do such a thing.
After returning to the hotel, through the translator he brought and watching the reports on TV, Collison knew what the situation of Bangzi is now.
"Many vicious incidents occurred in Bangzi Seoul today, including the robbery of several financial institutions. The suspect was the manager of a bankrupt small and medium-sized company before!"
In front of the camera, when the captured robber faced the reporter and asked him why he did this, the man plausibly said, "Can I not know that there is something wrong with this?"
"But now I have nothing, I have children and a wife, my father's pension is gone now, my house is going to be taken away, my wife is going to divorce me, I can't even afford to buy a bag of bread Money, what should I do if I don't do this?"
The man said angrily, "But what can I do, I don't want to harm anyone, I have never robbed a house or stolen, I only robbed these **** financial institutions, anyway, that's it now!"
Finally, the man said indifferently with an ashamed attitude, closed his eyes and said nothing again.
Seeing this scene, Collison was a little taciturn, and Marcus was also watching TV. In the end, the two looked at each other silently.
Wall Street is not without leeks. After bankruptcy, it is not uncommon to wander the streets and jump from rooftops, but it is the first time they have seen Bangzi so tragic. The whole Bangzi is on the verge of collapse.
The news on Bangzi TV is still going on, and it is still bad news as always. Bangzi has gone bankrupt this month, and more than 3,000 companies have gone bankrupt, and more than a dozen chaebol giants have fallen, not to mention these small companies.
"Now in Seoul, more than 4,200 people lose their jobs every day, and various vicious incidents occur frequently."
"Samsung, LG and other companies have announced that they will stop establishing new companies. The number of new employees recruited this year may not exceed 3,000, compared to 35,000 last year..."
When the interpreter was translated to Collison and the others, Collison obviously felt that the translator's voice was trembling.
Bangzi's 30 major groups and chaebols are the Optimus Prime existence of Bangzi. The three things that Bangzi can't do without in his life, life, death and Samsung, explain everything.
Many people in Bangzi also criticize Samsung, LG, Daewoo and other groups, but in Bangzi, they can either be admitted to the inspection agency and go ashore, and become a master from then on, or enter a large group as a social animal. There are many, and the way to live a middle-class life is what most people desperately want to get in.
But now, the big groups that countless people are desperately trying to join have basically stopped recruiting this year. The three thousand people are divided into dozens of large companies, each with only a hundred people. There is no difference with not recruiting.
On the news on the TV station behind, there are many reports that the briquette business of the stick has suddenly skyrocketed. It is the briquette in "Please Answer 1988" that often chokes Deshan to death!
Honeycomb coal suddenly caught fire in Bangzi, and the briquette factory that had been shut down by Bangzi was suddenly revived. Compared with natural gas, electricity and other fuels, the price of honeycomb coal is much cheaper.
"Seoul Subway Company announced today that it will adjust subway prices and appeals to passengers to buy tickets. It will severely punish fare evasion. It is reported that the number of fare evasion passengers in Seoul has exceeded 20,000 this month..."
Hearing the news, Collison frowned, and after letting the translator leave, he complained in a low voice to Marcus, who was sorting out the materials, "Just like Robert Robinson said, this is a company that is about to go bankrupt. , I don't know Song, why did you focus on this place?"
Collison feels that the stick is about to collapse, throwing money here is purely for naught, but Song Yang still wants to buy the company that invests here, which makes Collison very puzzled.
In the process of sorting out, this time the North American Global Investment Foundation, the list of companies to be invested by Marcus, listened to Collison's complaints, and just glanced at him, "This is Song's decision. If you have any opinions, you can Go back to America to find Song!"
Hearing this, Collison scratched his head, as if he didn't hear it, just kidding, he is cutting leeks here now, don't cut it too comfortably, go back to America to find Song Yang, and argue about Song Yang's investment vision?
Even a person with a wattless mind would probably not do such a mind-drenched thing.
Flipping through the information in his hand, Marcus felt that there are indeed a lot of good things on the Bangzi side. It's no wonder that Wall Street is staring at the Bangzi, and insists on beating the Bangzi to get cramp. , to eat clean.
In Southeast Asia, Japanese benzene is the largest, but it is also the most difficult to chew. Soros and Wall Street are at most fighting against each other, just to take advantage of it. No cramps.
In addition to Japan, Siam, Cochin, Malaysia and other places, although they are fat, but valuable, they are only banks, real estate and other companies, while Bangzi and Singapore have many heavy industries, such as chemicals, machinery, Electronic technology and other companies, especially Japan's Samsung, LG, Kia, SK Telecom, etc., have a lot of good things.
Marcus picked up a pen and drew circles on the information of several Bangzi companies. These are all requested by Song Yang. If he can invest in Bangzi Bank, he can invest in a few of them.
Song Yang asked Marcus to focus on the semiconductor and memory card business in Samsung's hands. This is for PA Semiconductor, SK Telecom, Appeal Telecom, etc. It is for American Telecom. As for LG and Bangzi's major Bank, Marcus also wants to cut some meat off...
Not only him here, but Marcus feels that those companies in America and Europe are probably just around the corner, ready to join this gluttonous feast, and they must start quickly, otherwise the fat will be snatched away .
Putting away these materials, Marcus said to Collison, "Now, let's see what benefits Wall Street can get from Bangzi!"
If you want to cut the meat, you have to let the stick lie down completely, so that you can start cutting the meat. Now I don't know how many people are waiting for the stick to negotiate with the Federal Monetary Fund.
In several office buildings in Seoul, compared to other companies that are in panic, the three game companies Nexon, NCsoft, and Actoz can only feel lucky. Last year, they embraced a big thick leg and became A game company owned by Xuele Mountain.
I didn't feel it last year, but now, looking at the crowd outside the office building, and the chaotic sounds from time to time, the founder of Nexon, Kim Jong-joo, can't help but feel a little lucky. At least he and Nexon don't have to be like the street Like those people, although Xue Leshan also took the opportunity to ask for more shares of Nexon company again...
