Chapter 172: Doing yoga and continuing to maintain the persona(1/4)
Around eleven o'clock in the morning.
In a hotel in Los Angeles, Abel and Annie were doing yoga together.
Abel suddenly discovered that yoga is a good exercise.
Good for body and mind.
When I saw Anne's graceful figure, performing various difficult yoga movements that revealed her curves and were very tempting.
Albert immediately fell in love with the sport and decided to do yoga with her.
While Abel and Annie were concentrating on learning to do yoga.
The mobile phone placed by the bedside kept vibrating.
It seriously interfered with his yoga studies.
"My dear, why don't you... check your phone, in case... there is something important?"
Annie bit her lip and said.
There was sweat on her forehead, and practicing yoga was very tiring.
You also have to maintain a fixed posture for a long time, which consumes a lot of energy.
"Don't worry about it, just concentrate on teaching, you know?"
Abel held Annie's slender waist and helped her fix her posture.
"Yeah!" Anne hummed lightly and ignored the phone call.
After more than an hour of yoga, Annie was covered in sweat, and Abel was also sweating a little.
He found that some yoga movements were really difficult.
After doing a set of yoga movements, you will feel refreshed and relaxed physically and mentally.
Abel carried the exhausted Annie to the bathroom for a comfortable bath.
After taking a bath, he carried her back to the hotel suite bedroom and got into bed.
Anne half-closed her eyes and lay lazily in Abel's arms, looking particularly charming.
Abel hugged her, picked up his phone, and started browsing.
In daily life, he has three mobile phones.
One is mobile number 1.
This mobile phone number is only known to his woman, family, and relatives.
It's what he uses for close communication.
Usually when he is with another woman.
He won't take this phone.
This phone will be placed with David Jones.
This is the case now.
There are two other mobile phones, one is used for business calls.
When contacting people within the company and business friends.
This is the phone I used.
The last one is a satellite phone, which is basically only used when a mobile phone is not convenient to use.
The cell phone that rang at this time was cell phone No. 2.
He didn't check first to see who was calling.
Instead, he first read the text messages on his phone.
There are seven or eight unread text messages, mostly from those investment banking giants and Wall Street oligarchs last night.
Philip Purcell: [Hey, dear Mr. Smith. I’d like to treat you to a meal. I wonder if you’d like to honor me?”]
Paulson: [I heard that there is a very good Chinese restaurant in lower Manhattan. Mr. Smith, are you interested? 】
Richard Fuld: [Mr. Smith, Lehman Brothers would like to talk to you]
【.】
The contents of the text messages sent by these investment bank executives are all similar.
They all wanted to treat Abel to dinner or have a chat with him.
Even last night.
Because of Abel's operations, these investment banks basically suffered small losses.
Most of them lost some money.
But now, they don't seem to have any concerns about it.
Everyone wanted to get in touch with Abel.
Even with a valuation as high as 500 billion US dollars, they all shouted that they were cheating.
But later on, I still want to talk about what I should want to talk about.
"It's the benefits that really move people's hearts!" Abel shook his head lightly.
He looked at the unconnected call record again and found that it was marked [Fuguo, Richard Kovacevich].
Richard Co
Vasiwicz is the current CEO of Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo is the largest mortgage originator in the United States, and its performance has been mediocre due to its prudent, pragmatic business strategy.
But among ordinary banks, it also has the most stable rate of return among major U.S. banks.
This makes it very popular among more conservative American investors.
This is the only bank in the United States to receive an AAA rating.
It is also one of the banks with the highest market capitalization in the world.
Its total assets under management have reached US$800 billion this year.
This is true for the big banks in the United States that generally like the investment banking style.
It's an outlier.
Based on the practice that eggs cannot be placed in a cage.
Smith Capital has cooperated with the other party many times before.
It is an ordinary financial cooperation like letting the other party act as a middleman and a guarantor.
About four days ago, Abel had the idea to make a short profit and make a lot of money.
At the same time, Wall Street was made aware that Abel Smith was not without conflicts with Wall Street.
It's not necessary, but once he has such an idea.
He can make Wall Street suffer.
So in four days, he passed Smith Capital and David Mellon.
He secretly sent his own think tank to contact Wells Fargo and Citibank.
By mortgaging his assets in Los Angeles and his personal credit loan.
Obtained US$3 billion in loan funds and then used these funds to enter the international foreign exchange market.
Through the guarantees of these two banks, we seek financial leverage from many other banks.
Compared to before, he did not conceal the flow of funds at all.
This time, his cooperation with these two banks was very secretive.
Those short-selling Wall Street giants are used to his previous openness and relaxation.
There was no vigilance against his operations in this area.
Let him finally succeed in stealing the chicken, and Xiaoxiao let them suffer a loss.
After that, if you want to do this again, it will be more difficult to hide it from them.
Unless it takes longer and uses more complicated techniques.
That way you can't go through other banks and have to let Smith Capital do it yourself.
And must also have at least one of its own banks.
A bank of its own.
Abel marked this incident in his mind.
This will be his next greatest effort in the financial field.
