Chapter 75 You are too greedy
Is the information Mike provided about the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate cut accurate?
An Rushong is the one who has the most say on this issue. As a reborn person, he vaguely remembers that in his previous life, also before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out completely, the United States had cut interest rates three times in a year in order to support the economy and save those shaky financial companies.
However, these interest rate cuts did not seem to have much effect in the end, and the subprime mortgage crisis still swept the world in 2008.
Therefore, now An Rushong can tell Han Meiyan with certainty that the information provided by Mike is accurate. At least, as long as the timeline of this world does not change, this information is accurate.
Instead of returning to his seat, An Rushong walked straight to the desk, right in front of Han Meiyan, lightly tiptoed, and sat half of his buttocks on the edge of the desk just right.
The position he was sitting in was very inappropriate, with his crotch facing Han Meiyan's face, and the implication of harassment was too obvious.
"Sister Meiyan, your question really stumps me," An Rusong picked up a pen from the desk, twisted it between his fingers, and said slowly, "Mike is just my friend, not my employee. Can I still ask him if the news is accurate?"
Han Meiyan looked up at him slightly, with a half-smile on her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" An Rusong spread his hands and said innocently, "I'm telling the truth."
"Is your friend named Mike's last name Justin?" Han Meiyan leaned forward slightly, stretched out a small green hand, and placed it on An Rusong's thigh. As she spoke, she used her index finger to pick at the inside seam of An Rusong's trouser leg.
"You are quite well-informed," An Rushong looked down at her.
As the woman leaned forward, the collar of her shirt opened a little, and from An Rushong's position, he could see a nice view.
"Is this what you call being well-informed?" Han Meiyan's fingers moved up along the seam of his pants, but he continued, "I might as well tell you that I also know his full name is Mike J. Justin. Coincidentally, I also know that the current head of financial markets at the Federal Reserve is a man named Mike Z. Justin. It seems that he and your friend are from the same hometown."
An Rusong suddenly realized that the names of British and American people are generally divided into three parts: Christian name + middle name + surname. The "J" in the name Mike J. Justin is the middle name, which is usually omitted. As for the role of this middle name, it can be understood as being used to distinguish two people with the same name in a family.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Mike that An Rusong knows and the "Mike" who is the director of financial markets in the Federal Reserve should be close relatives from the same family, perhaps uncles and brothers. This also explains where Mike's news about the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut came from.
"Since you already know this kind of news, why are you still asking me whether the news is accurate or not?" Seeing the other person's fingers moving to a place she shouldn't touch, An Rusong held her hand down and said.
"I need a definite piece of news," Han Meiyan didn't pull her hand back. She stared at An Rusong and said, "Brother, you know that Meiyan doesn't have any money to gamble with. Do you want to watch your sister lose all her assets and end up with nothing?"
"A confirmed news?" An Rusong said with a smile, "The news Mike gave me is very confirmed. The Fed's interest rate cut is a foregone conclusion. It will be announced in the next two days at the latest."
"So when are you going to sell the stocks you hold?" Han Meiyan asked immediately, "Is this rate cut good or bad for the stock market?"
An Rushong does not know much about finance, but he does know some basic common sense, such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut.
Today, the U.S. federal funds rate is 5.25%. If the Fed really chooses to cut interest rates in the last two days and reduces it by 50 percentage points at one time, then it will first mean a decline in U.S. dollar interest rates. In this process, some funds that do not like high risks and have been earning interest on U.S. dollars will withdraw from U.S. dollar assets and look for projects with higher returns.
Secondly, the Fed’s interest rate cut not only means lower US dollar interest rates, but also lower borrowing costs, which is equivalent to reducing the cost of corporate financing and has a promoting effect on expanding production.
Furthermore, the Fed’s interest rate cut is actually a statement from the US government, which means that the US government has officially intervened in the economy, which will boost market expectations.
Therefore, as the news of the Fed's interest rate cut began to spread around the world, in the past two days, not only the US stock market, but also the stock market of major global financial markets have been bullish. In other words, even if An Rusong did not buy Apple stocks, but bought other stocks, as long as his luck was not too bad, he should be able to make money.
But then again, will the Fed’s interest rate cut necessarily lead to a rise in the stock market?
This is not necessarily the case. It depends on many situations. As for what the specific situation is, An Rushong doesn’t understand, so he attaches great importance to Mike’s advice.
Mike had told him before that this round of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve might boost market confidence in a short period of time and bring about a wave of stock market rises. However, the reality of the current US economy is already there. The deterioration of the financial situation caused by the subprime mortgage crisis is inevitable. Limited by the poor reality of its own economic structure and financial market stability, the good market sentiment brought about by the interest rate cut will be quickly exhausted in the short term. In other words, Mike is optimistic about the stock market in the short term, but he is pessimistic about the market trend in the longer term.
Mike's suggestion is that they should sell all their stocks before October. What's more, if there is any operating problem in a US bank in the near future, they should also sell all their stocks quickly.
Han Meiyan certainly knows more about stock trading than An Rusong, so she is more aware of the risks involved in stock investment. Most importantly, her purpose in entering the market is different from An Rusong's. The latter is mainly to get closer to Mike, and making money is secondary. He cares about how much money he makes and whether he will lose money, but it is not the only thing he cares about.
But Han Meiyan is different, she came here just to make a fortune, so she attaches more importance to the result and naturally has higher expectations for the so-called "inside information".
"Sister Mei Yan, you are a little greedy," An Rushong said with a grin.
"Sister Meiyan is not greedy," Han Meiyan said with some strength in her hands, "Sister Meiyan just puts all her trust in you."
Haha, if I believe you, there will be something wrong!
An Rushong smiled but said nothing.
In fact, he didn't mind revealing more information to the woman in front of him. After all, Mike had never asked him to keep any secrets. Moreover, whether Han Meiyan entered the market, in what form, and how much it invested had no impact on An Rushong.
The reason why he teased the other person was just out of...well, no need to explain so much, he just coveted her beauty.
This woman might really be a psychopath, but so what? He only coveted her body, not her spirit. Could it be possible that spirits could be contagious?
Han Meiyan obviously understood what the other party meant. She bit her lip, pulled her hand back in embarrassment, slapped An Rushong's thigh hard, then shook her head and winked in the direction of the blinds.
An Rusong understood what he meant. He jumped off the table, walked to the large French window, and closed the blinds in a few strokes. Then, he walked in front of Han Meiyan again, looking down at her with a smile.
About half an hour later, the sound of high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away from outside the office door.
In the office, An Rushong straightened his trousers, picked up the small piece of black cloth on the desk, put it in his pocket, then took out a few tissues and carefully wiped the suspicious water stains on the table.
After finishing all these, he returned to his desk, sat down on the soft chair, and let out a long sigh.
For a man, there are many kinds of sense of accomplishment, such as in career, family, interpersonal relationships, etc., and sleeping with a woman he has long coveted is obviously also a kind of sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, An Rushong felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Holding the mouse in one hand, he moved it casually to activate the dormant computer.
When the monitor came on again, he opened my computer, found the disk where the office surveillance was saved, and played a video that he had just shot.
After a moment, listening to the woman's voice on the speakers, he felt vaguely embarrassed. He was so engrossed just now that he didn't notice the problem with the sound, but let the Russians outside hear a show.
But it can also be seen from here that Han Meiyan is a really open-minded woman. She obviously no longer cares about anything other than money, including her own body and reputation. She is a woman who is extremely realistic.
An Rushong counted and found that there were three collaborators around him: Erjianzi who was dominated by hatred, a fool who only knew how to use violence, and the last one, a wanton woman who cared about nothing but money.
Ha, this combination is really interesting. Even though it sounds lame, An Rushong still likes it quite a bit.
