Chapter 2385 Lehman Brothers

"Hi, Mr. Madoff, what do you think of me?" Lin Feng stepped forward with a smile and gave Madoff a big hug.

"Mr. Lin, this time there is a very good investment. However, due to the huge capital requirements, after much thought, I am afraid that Mr. Lin is the only one in the world who can become its investor, so I came to you specially."

Bernard Madoff said with a smile.

Lin Feng pursed his lips and didn't care. This Madoff was full of lies. How far did he go to defraud money? He even deceived the closest and closest people. He had a 50-year-old friend and a 50-year relationship.

, this is such an eternity, and in the end, he still deceived him. Can you believe what this kind of person says!

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Lin Feng does not believe it.

"Come on, Mr. Lin, let me introduce you to someone first." Madoff led Lin Feng into a club. Lin Feng looked up and saw the Palm Beach Country Club.

This Palm Beach Country Club is an elite club, and only the most elite Jews in the world can join it. Of course, it is also the foundation of Madoff's big scam.

Along the way, Lin Feng saw two young people.

"Mr. Lin, let me introduce to you, this is Carl Lehman, and this is Dia Lehman." Madoff introduced the two to Lin Feng diligently.

Lin Feng frowned. Called Lehman, are these two the heirs of "Lehman Brothers"? But it is rumored that after Robert Lehman passed away in 1969, didn't Lehman fall into a management vacuum? It has been there ever since.

Are outsiders controlling Lehman?

"Mr. Lin, I think you must have guessed that these two are the heirs of Lehman Brothers. I wonder why Lehman Brothers has heirs." Madoff said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, Lin Feng was really surprised at this moment as to what was going on.

"Mr. Lin, these two are both grandsons of the late Robert Lehman. Due to the successive misfortunes of the Lehman family, almost all family members suffered misfortune. Only one daughter of Robert Lehman was left living abroad, and therefore became the

The sole heir to Lehman Brothers. However, she did not care about the inheritance rights of Lehman Brothers, but delegated management rights to outsiders. This is how Lehman Brothers was later controlled by outsiders," Madoff said.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, this was a bit secret. But why did you introduce it to yourself?

"Later, Robert Lehman's daughter married a policeman and gave birth to two sons, namely these two gentlemen, Carl Lehman and Dia Lehman." Madoff said.

Lin Feng had already guessed what Madoff was going to say next. It was nothing more than that Robert Lehman's daughter died, and the Barracuda inheritance fell into the hands of these two brothers. And they have now become Lehman Brothers.

The actual person in power. However, what are you looking for?

"Mr. Lin, the reason why we came to you is because we want to cooperate with you." Karl Lehman said respectfully.

"Cooperation? Lehman Brothers is a world-famous investment bank. What do you want from me?" Lin Feng said quietly.

Carl and Dia looked at each other.

"Mr. Lin, we are in urgent need of cash due to the failure of Si's investment, so we want to complete a transaction with Mr. Lin." Karl said.

"What kind of deal? As long as it's about making money, you can talk about it." Lin Feng's eyes jumped.

Lehman Brothers is well-known in Lin Feng’s memory. Because the economic crisis that began in 2008 was the collapse of the investment bank headed by Lehman Brothers, which triggered a global financial turmoil. Of course, the culprit in this incident was Madoff

.It would not have been the failure of his Ponzi scheme, nor would it have triggered a global financial shock, which would then have caused a break in the capital chain invested by Lehman Brothers, and ultimately triggered a global collapse.

Investing, letting yourself invest, is there any good thing? ——Lin Feng said quietly.

"Mr. Lin, the two of us hold 51% of the shares of Lehman Brothers. Now Lehman Brothers is the world's top investment bank with great prospects. The current stock price is US$32 per share, and the two of us are willing to give us 20% of the shares."

Mortgage the shares and borrow US$12 billion from Mr. Lin and himself," Carr said.

Lin Feng frowned. The current market value of Lehman Brothers is about US$54 billion, and 20% of the shares are discounted to US$12 billion. He will not suffer any loss. Moreover, Lehman Brothers' current prospects are indeed good, but in just two years, there will be huge losses.

Years later, it will be time for its bankruptcy. At this time, did you invest in Lehman Brothers because you were really short of money, or did you want to drag yourself into this quagmire because you saw the crisis of Lehman Brothers?

Lin Feng stared at the two brothers Carl and Dia.

"Mr. Lin, do you have any doubts? Lehman Brothers is the most valuable investment company today! Much better than Goldman Sachs!" Dia was a little annoyed by Lin Feng's stare.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, do you have anything worth worrying about? If so, you can bring it up. I believe I can still help you solve it," said the professor with a smile.

In Madoff's eyes, it was unreasonable for Lin Feng to give up such a huge opportunity. This shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Lin Feng should be overjoyed and agree to the deal immediately. But look

Lin Feng's expression now showed that he was hesitating, even suspicious. Suspicious about what? Was he suspicious of the sincerity of brothers Carl and Dia?

Madoff frowned slightly. The reason why he introduced him was because the Lehman Brothers promised to deposit 20% of their income into his fund for investment. As for why the brothers Carl and Dia pledged their Lehman Brothers shares to Lin Feng,

Rather than others, it was because others could not come up with so much cash immediately. Yes, immediately. The two brothers failed to invest in a business and lost a total of 3 billion US dollars. But the two brothers did not give up and wanted to make a comeback, so

The capital required is approximately US$5-6 billion.

Therefore, the two brothers approached Madoff, a close friend of Robert Lehman. Madoff considered it before approaching Lin Feng.

"Mr. Madoff, I have two questions. First, why did you find me?" Lin Feng asked.

"Mr. Lin, it's simple, because you have a lot of cash in your hands. Only you have so much cash. And the Lehman brothers want to get all the money immediately and keep it secret for the time being. They don't want to cause a sensation. This is the case with other banks.

Neither the individual nor the individual possesses it," Madoff explained.

"The second point is that Lehman Brothers should be protected by the US government. If you sell me 20% of the shares, I think this should be restricted by the US government! Can the transaction be completed?" Lin Feng asked.

"Haha, this is simple. There are two alternatives." Madoff smiled slightly.

Lin Feng showed an attentive expression.

"First, if you become an American citizen, there will be no problem." Madoff said with a smile, looking at Lin Feng's expression, and smiled slightly, "Of course, Mr. Lin will not become an American citizen. Then there is the second plan.

."

"The second plan is for me to be the middleman, and Mr. Lin to be the manipulator behind the scenes. I will take over the acquisition, but the actual control is in the hands of Mr. Lin, so that will be fine. I believe in my identity, and no one will say anything about it.

Just gossip," Madoff said confidently.

Lin Feng was quite convinced by this second plan. Madoff was the former chairman of Nasdaq. He acquired shares of Lehman Brothers. No one believed it, including the US government. But this old liar

If so, can you believe it?

At this moment, Lin Feng had already calculated. If he wanted to implement Soros's plan to subvert the world, it would not be enough to rely solely on Madoff's chips. It would be best if he added Lehman Brothers' chips. Now.

It was an opportunity, but Lin Feng had to make sure there were no traps in it.

"Then please allow me to think about it." Lin Feng said politely. This must be discussed with Abby Cohen and Soros. His own wisdom and experience in this area cannot cope with this situation.

"Yes. But Mr. Lin doesn't have much time. The Lehman brothers are in urgent need of money, so Mr. Lin, you only have 6 hours at most to consider whether to make this deal." Madoff said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded, turned around and left.

"Mr. Madoff, do you think Mr. Lin will agree? We are really in urgent need of money, otherwise we would not use 20% of Lehman's shares as collateral." Dia-Lehman said urgently.

"Don't worry. If Lin Feng is really as rumored, he will definitely complete the deal. After all, this deal will have no harm to both of you." Madoff said with a smile. Of course, he added in his mind that for him

There is no harm. If this deal is reached, he will obviously receive 20% of the investment money of the two Lehman brothers, and secretly become Lin Feng's Lehman spokesperson, and he will be able to get closer to Lin Feng in the future.

Madoff is well aware of the subtleties of the "Ponzi scheme" he has set up now. Once someone asks for a large amount of cash due to a shortage of funds, and Madoff cannot give it, then his scam will be broken, and his reputation will naturally be ruined.

Lin Feng had a large amount of cash in his hands. As long as he established a relationship with Lin Feng, became friends, and allowed Lin Feng to circulate funds at critical moments, Madoff believed that his scam could continue until his death. As for what will happen after death, he

I didn't think too much about it.

The only question is, does Lin Feng believe in himself enough? Madoff is not very sure about this.

"Abby, Soros, what do you think of this deal?" After Lin Feng left the Palm Beach Country Club, he immediately contacted Abby Cohen and Soros via remote video.

"Lin, according to my analysis, Lehman Brothers holds a large amount of bonds that far exceed its assets. However, the current global market value of bonds has far exceeded their true value. The bubble has not burst yet. Once it bursts,

These 20% shares will be too much for you to bear. At that time, I worry that the U.S. government will force you to bear its losses." Abby Cohen analyzed.

"Yes, boss, Abby's analysis is right. You are so rich. If you really own 20% of Lehman shares, once Lehman goes bankrupt, the U.S. government will definitely force you to pay back the money. So, this is a

A trap." Soros agreed.

"Then should I refuse?" Lin Feng asked.
