Chapter 194: Wind and Rain (Part II)
That kind of natural disaster, anyone is powerless in the face of it, even if they know that it will happen, they can only watch the world smile indifferently and welcome its arrival.
It's not that it can't be reminded, but it's unpredictable, and it's useless to remind.
In fact, as early as when Katrina landed in Florida, a report published by the NHC warned of the possibility that it might increase when it entered the Gulf of Mexico, but that report mentioned was only one of the many possibilities. People are like this, always subconsciously with a fluke mentality, blindly optimistic that they will not be unlucky.
That report was not taken seriously, and I'm afraid the analyst who made it didn't take it to heart.
Of course, after seeing the news of it, Ahn Jun-hyuk hurried home not because he had a psychological shadow on his brushing shoulders with the hurricane, nor was it a feeling of compassion for the world. For the citizens of New Orleans, Katrina was despair, for the United States, Katrina was a catastrophe that shocked the whole country, and even for the entire world, the changes in the international market brought about by a Category 5 hurricane were enough to cause a terrible shock.
For some, the hurricane is a significant opportunity!
The neon lights on both sides of the road retreated rapidly as the car sped back, turning into a blurry streamer reflected in the bottom of the eye. Looking at them silently, Ahn Jun-hyuk was thinking about things, and the driver in front of him who was leisurely playing the steering wheel seemed to be very talkative, constantly looking for topics to try to chat with him.
Ahn Joon-hyuk, who is somewhat absent-minded. Most of them respond occasionally, until the other party chats about recent things in the entertainment industry:
“…… I heard that in addition to Kim Jong Kook's "Standing Still", the most popular is Baek Ji-young's "No More Love", have you heard of it?"
As he spoke, the driver started the car player and pressed it a few times, and after a while, Ahn Junhyuk heard the melody many times, echoing in this small compartment.
He tilted his ear and listened to the speakers. He can memorize the song with every symbol. Then he nodded: "Heard!"
"It's said that a lot of people are scolding it now, saying that it's too bad for a MV, and it's actually a gay theme! I haven't seen it, and I don't know very well, if it's true. It's a shame for this song. I wonder what the people who planned the MV in the first place thought it's a waste!"
"Hehe......" smiled perfunctorily. Did you tell him that he was one of the "spoilers"?
No matter how seriously influenced by American ideology is, it is still the East where conservative forces prevail, and people do not feel it in their daily life and work. It may even be that some conservatives themselves do not consider themselves conservative, and that may have become a little instinctive concept left in the depths of the subconscious under the influence of classical culture.
It is hidden so deep that it does not really brew a terrifying opposition until something begins to challenge its existence, begins to want to subvert the very foundations of its existence.
Just like the taxi driver in front of him, in the eyes of others, he may also be a rather trendy person, he likes pop songs, the little decorations hanging in his car are the latest fashion style, he knows how to speak Internet buzzwords, but he is such a person who can be regarded as keeping up with the times, when the word homosexuality touches the concept formed in his heart due to the legacy of conservative culture, he immediately stands up and opposes it without hesitation - even without any detailed understanding, instinctive disgust!
Throughout the ages, there have been many failures in change, and this is one of the reasons!
Carefully experiencing the feeling of this moment, Ahn Junhyuk smiled faintly bitterly.
Fortunately, the real conservatives clamoring on the Internet did not notice this obscure force, otherwise, no one would be able to withstand that kind of pressure!
It is not only the actual benefits and losses that people support or oppose, civilization affects society, society affects people's hearts, when new ideas appear, the corresponding old ideas will fight back with all their might, the great changes in history are like this, and the same is true of small changes, some have succeeded, some have failed, some have a huge and far-reaching impact, and some are just a little dust!
Whether the same-sex concept is recognized or not, most of them are just a little dust, but if it is extended, it also represents the freedom of human rights choice, who is right and who is wrong, Ahn Junhyuk can't say clearly, but the road he walks happens to be related to this, so he becomes a representative!
Thinking about Li Junyi's proposal, if he agrees, I'm afraid that this brewing storm will hit him even harder!
"It's hard to do anything, but ...... High risk is high return...... Oh, it's multiple choice again!"
I rubbed the corners of my forehead with a headache, and behind the light curtain outside the window, which looked like a tassel retreating, the sky was as black as ink.
……
……
After Jisoo found out that his brother came back from outside, his mood was not quite right, and he seemed to be troubled by something, and when he got home, he sat on the sofa in the living room, silent, and frowned.
She didn't know what happened to him, and her thoughts were in such a strange state, but she didn't ask.
She is very familiar with her brother, and it is mostly related to him to make him embarrassed like this, since he didn't say it, it means that he hasn't thought about it yet.
At this time, most of the summer vacation has passed, and Lin Xiujing has recently returned to her parents' house to live with her parents for a period of time, and Yun'er's next semester is the most critical day - because South Korea's public high schools are also emulating the United States according to the principle of proximity to the area where she lives, Yun'er is not very satisfied with the high school she may be admitted to, and she has been studying hard recently, preparing to take the exam, so that she can be admitted to a better private high school, so she is currently asked Lin's father to help her enroll in a cram school, and she has to study late every day before coming back.
There are two fewer people in the house, which undoubtedly seems much more deserted, but for Jisoo, such days are no different.
It would be nice if Park Young-joon didn't come to be a light bulb.
hurriedly withdrew from his club and rushed to the building of Cheongdam-dong, and when he knocked on the door, Park Young-jun was depressed to see Jisoo rolling his eyes at him, ignoring him, making his bright smile fall into the void, like a basin of cold water poured on his face in the cold winter of Sanjiu.
"Jisoo, what a cousin of twenty years, can you not show me a look every time I come?"
While changing his slippers in the hallway, Park Yingjun shouted aggrievedly, "When you were still wearing open crotch pants, my cousin was so good to you, bought you something to eat, and took you to see the goldfish ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ahn Jun-hyuk poked his head out of the kitchen: "You took Jisoo to see the goldfish?"
“…… Hehe, hehe, just kidding......"
Park Young-joon laughed dryly twice, flatly denied it, and Jisoo next to him gave him a little thumbs up disdainfully.
"Hey, how dare you make such a gesture, be careful I tell your brother!" he threatened in a low voice.
Jisoo responded with the middle finger this time, and he didn't even bother to talk to him.
Of course, this is just a joke made by the cousins and sisters, and they threaten Jisoo a few more words, and seeing that they can't make her give in, Park Young-joon has no choice but to go to the kitchen to find Joon-hyuk in frustration and fight by the way.
Park Young-joon was also a little strange for Joon-hyuk to suddenly call himself over in such a hurry, some time ago, Jun-hyuk instructed him to collect all the funds in the international market and wait for an excellent opportunity. He has always been convinced of Joon-hyuk's predictions, so these days, while helping to preside over the day-to-day administration of J.H. studio, he is also keeping an eye on the international community to see if he can find any news and get a glimpse of how Joon-hyuk analyzes the market.
But at present, there is not much valuable news, in addition to the turmoil of crude oil futures, in recent months, the futures trading price of the crude oil market has been showing an inflated trend, after careful observation, and checked the previous information, found that since the end of last year, a large number of remarks about the tension of the crude oil market are very loud, he judged that this is a group of predators are speculating on crude oil.
Except for this incident, everything else seems to be calm.
But after an in-depth analysis of the current situation of oil speculation, Park Young-joon does not feel that this is a good time to intervene.
Oil prices have been rising for more than a year, after the early panic, the volume of crude oil trading in the futures market has dropped significantly, thanks to the hedging experience that began in 04, Park Young-jun is very familiar with the psychology of these international speculators - they are starting to be anxious, and the oil prices that continue to rise are mostly creating the illusion of a crisis in an attempt to induce people to take over.
It's just that this year, the Federal Reserve has continued to raise interest rates, and has been gradually tightening monetary policy, reducing market liquidity, and alleviating the huge impact of fluctuations in market prices in the virtual economy on the real economy.
Therefore, the behavior of international speculators to raise oil prices has not achieved much effect, and in the last half month, the speeches of some authoritative experts and officials in the field of economy and currency in the West have further confirmed his speculation, and everyone agrees that the Fed's series of measures make sufficient market liquidity very likely to disappear soon, and then crazy speculation, such as crude oil futures, metal futures, housing prices and other virtual asset bubbles may burst at any time.
More importantly, crude oil futures are different from metal futures, it is related to the economic strategy of the United States, and those who can participate in this game are large hedge funds.
There are many risks, even he can find out, he doesn't think Ahn Junhyuk will not see it!
It's not the first time I've come to Ahn to have dinner at Ahn House, Park Young-joon skillfully helped Ahn Joon-hyuk to start, while also thinking about the vocabulary, thinking about how to probe Joon-hyuk's tone, if he is really ready to play the idea of crude oil futures, no matter what......
Just thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had just finished frying a plate of dishes, reached out and took the plate he handed over, and said softly: "I have already booked you a ticket for tonight, and you can rush to Incheon to board the plane after eating!"
"Uh, so urgent?" Park Young-joon was stunned, he was still thinking about how to persuade Joon-hyuk to give up.
As if seeing his concerns, Ahn Junhyuk glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, in a few days, there will be no bothering to pay attention to a small character like us...... Such a big piece of fat, many people want to take a bite!(To be continued......
