Chapter 324 It's Hard to Make Money, But...
My investment team has previously studied the 10 natural years in which the U.S. stock market rose by more than 35% in the last century, and concluded that there are two common causes of these 10 bull markets or strengths.
The first is the collapse of the stock market in the previous year, and the second is the easing of monetary policy and abundant liquidity this year. Looking at the stock market in the past 2009, both domestic and foreign, there is no other. β
The corners of Arthur's mouth were slightly raised, and he sat in a comfortable posture on the white court armchair, holding a beautiful black teacup, and continued to speak his financial opinions, while his eyes were unintentionally looking at the distant green and yellow lawn and the various century-old trees dotted in the distance behind Dian, feeling the romantic and lonely winter wind in the ruggedness of this manor.
Put the black teacup in his hand on the table, look at the exquisite tea set on the table and the three-tiered birdcage rack containing all kinds of exquisite delicacies, look at the old man and the two dukes opposite, and say: "As for next year 2010, it will be the most complicated year for the global economy. β
"What do you mean?" asked the old dian, who had found some of the financial content Arthur to be very interesting, much more attractive than the data-stacked reports of his financial advisors.
"Meaning that we face too many uncertainties. When it comes to the stock market, the two positive or negative, positive or negative forces acting on the U.S. stock market and the London stock market, are both between certainty and uncertainty.
Everything must also depend on the "face" of the US economy and even the global economy, and no one dares to assert that the US economy can rule out a double dip.
Moreover, in 2010, the flow of the stock market will definitely cramp, and a bull market of capital movement is unlikely to occur, which means that the negative and negative effects of the tightening of capital flow are certain.
However, the uncertainty is first of all the timing and degree of tightening, and secondly, assuming that the economic recovery in the second half of 2010 may face a "double dip" or obvious recurrence, the flow of xing may be released more than expected.
Between the economic upturn, which is not much better, and the tight flow and tightening of the "rat trap", the financial market is acting with certainty and certainty. It's hard to make money in 2010!"
Arthur is not these three big men in front of the alarmist fool, the other party is not a fool, and there is no shortage of economic elites under his subordinates, and they will not have consulted the views of their subordinates, and they still have some understanding of finance.
And the reason why Arthur still said this is just to deepen the understanding of the economic environment of the three people in front of them in 2010, let them know how difficult it is to help them make money, and make the value of this favor more weighty.
"Especially the debt crisis in Greece... β
Arthur smiled and stretched out his hands as a fireworks gesture, "BOMB!"
OLD DIAN AND THE TWO DUKES GLANCED AT EACH OTHER, AND THE EXPRESSIONS ON THEIR FACES BECAME VERY SOLEMN, TO BE HONEST, WHAT ARTHUR SAID, ALTHOUGH A LITTLE PESSIMISTIC, WAS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEIR RESPECTIVE ADVISORY TEAMS REPORTED.
Of course, they also learned from this passage that the young earl in front of them was not just lucky, unlearned, and vain, they also knew that Arthur must have had a lot of reservations and did not say it.
Otherwise, he would not have finally accepted their investment funds, after all, the funds led by Lao DIAN are really not so easy to use, everything is easy to say about making money, once there is a huge loss, I am afraid it will not be so easy to speak.
AS FOR WHY THIS LITTLE EARL IS WILLING TO ACCEPT IT, IN ADDITION TO HAVING A CERTAIN DEGREE OF CERTAINTY, WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT THE CONNECTIONS OF THEIR GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE WHAT THIS LITTLE EARL NEEDS, AND AT THIS POINT, BOTH THE OLD DIAN AND THE TWO DUKES KNOW IT.
Everyone takes what they need, not to mention that they belong to a camp and have the basis and advantages of cooperation in nature.
Arthur couldn't help but chuckle out loud as he saw the two dukes making eye contact with each other, and the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.
"HEHE, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT MADE YOU SO HAPPY?" SEEING ARTHUR'S SMILE, THE OLD DIAN SMILED AND ASKED DIRECTLY.
"Hehe, back to Dian, the reason why I am a little rude is because I think that in fact, the economic crisis is not without any benefits to the UK, at least people have reverted to the traditional habit of drinking afternoon tea instead of going to cafes to drink coffee... Arthur explained with a smile.
JUST WHEN THE OLD DIAN WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED AND WANTED TO ASK WHY HE SAID THIS, A DUKE ON THE SIDE ALSO SUDDENLY ECHOED AND SAID: "I SEE, REALLY, NOW THE AFTERNOON TEA AT THE RITZ HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DINING EXPERIENCES TO BOOK.
I don't know when it started, but afternoon tea has returned to people's vision in a grand way. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the tea rooms of hotels in the UK are full of people, and the tables are piled with cakes and sconesγγγγγγ β
In fact, when it comes to afternoon tea, although it is a major feature of the United Kingdom, the real situation is that as early as the twentieth century, most British people have empathized with each other and fell in love with cafes, and afternoon tea has become a forgotten British tradition, which can only be swayed in front of tourists, and the only ones who still retain this tradition are the wang room and the aristocracy.
That's just because the old lady who has a long standby likes to drink afternoon tea, and it affects some people to retain the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
And Arthur laughed and joked, mainly because ironically, this grand comeback was really thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, the recession of the British economy. When people's wallets are generally shrinking, a return to more traditional values and simple pursuits seems to be a welcome thing to do.
After listening to the explanation, Lao Dian also shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion: "In some cases, there are few things in life that are more pleasant than spending time on a ceremony called afternoon tea. It's a good thing that tradition is returning.
By the way, Earl Arthur, if I'm not mistaken, the Boleyn family is also a family of junders, right?"
When Arthur heard this, he knew that the main dish he wanted was coming, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, from Colonel Thomas Boleyn to Colonel Baldwin, and later generations, have regarded Sam Jun as a tradition of our Boleyn family that has continued to this day.
However, after the death of my uncle and grandfather in World War II, the side branch declined, and the previous generation, because my father, Count Francis, had no other brothers, for the sake of the family's inheritance and continuity, he did not choose to join the army.
But, to celebrate, in our generation, my younger brother, Edmund Boleyn, regained the traditions of the Boleyn family and embarked on a career as a jung, and he performed very well, and in only a year, he is now a sergeant. β
βγγγ Let him perform well, and I will send him to participate in the selection of next year's honor guard cavalry regiment, hoping that he can pass the selection and become a member of the Huang family guard. β
The old man first sang a high tune for a while, praising the fine tradition of the nobles, thanking the ancestors of the Boleyn family who gave their lives for Britain, and saying that joining the army as his own duty is the best way to show the courage, responsibility and other values of the British high society, and finally said the words that Arthur wanted to hear the most.
"Thank you!" Arthur smiled happily and thanked him very respectfully, he knew that if Edmund was able to enter the honor guard cavalry regiment of which His Majesty was the head of the regiment and honored, the road to promotion would undoubtedly become very easy and smooth.
However, the premise is that he Arthur Bolin can really make this old Dain taste the sweetness and maintain this hard-won network.
Of course, Arthur's real purpose in establishing this network is naturally not only to help his cheap brother be promoted in the Jun team, but more importantly, to implement his energy kingdom plan.
You must know that many energy companies, if they want to complete the acquisition, not only need to have money, but also need a lot of contacts to publicize, and this is the main reason why he is willing to give this group of old foxes a little soup to drink!
