Chapter 1837 and Greenspan
Human society is like a pyramid. The smaller the level, the larger the circle, the larger the circle. Han Xuan knew most of the people present. Some people came up and some went down, and the number of elites was generally maintained at a very small level.
If it were elsewhere, the guests on the scene were all in their industry, with bigwigs with the right to speak, and their social status was higher than that of ordinary people. Today, they could have more contact with similar people, and they gathered in many groups.
When Han Xuan heard people around him talk about Mr. Bernard Madoff’s recent experience, he felt a little uncomfortable, because this guy was living an enviable good life, but he was finally in prison because of himself. After the scam was revealed, he fell into a situation where everyone shouted and beat him.
Han Xuan is not a sentimental person, and he also knows that Mr. Madoff actually made a self-inflicted self-inflicted. If he was not revealed, more people would suffer. Don’t look at the many rich people who were deceived. In fact, many funds’ assets are placed with them by ordinary people. In other words, Madoff is essentially using other people’s money to live a good life.
After all, I met him very early and planned to talk to Madoff, but there were acquaintances around me who were busy saying hello and couldn't leave. When Han Xuan looked at the window again, Madoff had already left. Perhaps because no one paid attention to him, there were only ridicule. When the Ponzi scheme was revealed, it meant that he was removed from this circle. The billionaire "Wolf of Wall Street" suddenly turned into a fraudster.
This Fed interest rate meeting is the topic that is most discussed on the dinner. It is closely related to Wall Street's next business situation. Some meeting contents, such as economic data from previous surveys, recent economic conditions, future policy discussions, etc. Through the Fed interest rate meeting, we can know the US policy measures and the possible impact on the US dollar in the next period of time, and then we can understand the impact on the financial market.
Han Xuan was busy with socializing and rarely saw his existence on such occasions. Many people came to be familiar with each other, trying to leave an impression on Han Xuan's mind. Maybe there would be a possibility of cooperation that day in the future.
Fat Ding was the only animal on the scene tonight. No matter where it went, someone would laugh and shout its name. Secretary Dawson followed from behind. When he saw Fat Ding looking up at the huge cake on the table, his eyes couldn't help feeling helpless. Sure enough, this guy had no other hobbies except eating.
He walked over and carried Fat Ding to the table, and helped him get some for him whenever he wanted to eat. Secretary Dawson unexpectedly saw a fat man with an over-standard figure in the crowd. He remembered that his name was Orlando and he had a good relationship with the little boss.
Orlando is naturally the rich second generation of Tyson Foods. The last time I saw it on the beach in Australia, it has been a long time since he was still standing beside him. He was stunned when he saw Fat Ding. Then he saw Dawson and said in confusion: "Han is here?"
This is not asking Secretary Dawson, an old man in front of Orlando replied, "Yes, I just heard that it seems to be there."
"Sorry, I'll say hello..."
The body is too bloated. When Orlando walks through the crowd, he often asks the people in front of him to let him go. Han Xuan is chatting with the current Federal Reserve Chairman Mr. Greenspan and chatting about the Pebble Beach Golf Course. When he laughs, he saw Orlando and said hello and said, "Didn't you take my company's weight loss pills?
I didn’t give you some in advance last time, why are you still so fat?”
"I was angry when I mentioned this. The bottle of medicine I asked you for last time was confiscated by my father. He didn't believe it would have no side effects on his body, so he confiscated it directly."
Orlando stared at Han Xuan with a look of astonishment and continued, "I left some at that time and had lost more than 40 pounds. Didn't you see that?
I am afraid that too much weight loss at one time will be bad for my health. I haven’t dared to continue eating recently, so I asked the family coach to take me to exercise."
Han Xuan looked up and down and said uncertainly: "Anyway, my face is not thin, and it is still over the standard now. Obesity is not good for your health. You are not short of money, so buy more and continue eating."
"..." Orlando said with displeasure and said, "Brave businessman! You must have seen it, but you want to trick me into buying weight loss pills.
My dad’s business is so pitiful compared to yours. Those weight loss pills are so profitable, thousands of times the profit!”
After laughing and not speaking, Han Xuan changed the topic and introduced to Chairman Greenspan: "It's good to treat this sentence as if you didn't hear it. The tax rate is already high enough, and it's not OK to increase the tax."
Greenspan was also quite humorous and replied to him: "Others don't need to increase taxes, just compete for you. Such a high profit is terrible. My daughter is also buying this product. The housekeeper told me quietly that she thought my daughter was hiding in the room and taking banned drugs."
"Hahaha!" Han Xuan continued: "Then I really should thank you very much, they are all customers of my company's products.
Mr. Greenspan, will the austerity policy continue to be implemented tomorrow? I think interest rates should be cut, right? The influence of the Internet bubble is no longer great. It is expected that it will decline in the past one or two years. If the interest rate hike is another, it will affect the normal operation of other industries."
"It's almost what you think
The effect of hikes and interest rate cuts is far less than before, and it cannot attract much money to flow back, because those money can make far more profits than local ones, so why should you focus on deposit interest?
The most effective way is to reduce taxes, but even the tax reductions cannot be too good. The fiscal gap is too big. The White House does not have such courage and the deficit is expanding.
Our president has been much more idle lately and can clearly feel that he is no longer focused on matters, perhaps because he is going to retire."
After saying that, Chairman Greenspan drank a sip of red wine. These words seemed a bit rude to others. However, he was not controlled by the president. On the contrary, the official also counted on the Federal Reserve. He is one of the few politicians who have the strength to wrestle the president and has a unique status.
Orlando doesn't like to hear these troubles. He likes to make money, but he is not smart enough to earn money from Wall Street. He greets Isabelle and says, "Long time no see, I've become beautiful again.
I remember you were a little dark when you were a kid. I mean when I was studying at Brown University. I saw you a few times before. You should remember me, right? I did the Big Eater Games!
I really can't believe that such a big change has happened now. I'll take the liberty to ask, are you an adult?"
“…stay away from me.”
Isabelle was completely unpolite. She probably had guessed what the fat man was thinking in his head. He had no interest in him and was too lazy to say anything...
Chatting, bragging, talking about business, time flies quite quickly. Seeing that Anya is dozing off, Han Xuan whispered to her: "What do you think about finding a room to rest for a night in the hotel in this building? "
