San Francisco 7:30 a.m.

"There was a lot of talk here last year about the rising costs. People are not sure how much they should pay, and valuations always keep rising. I'm really not surprised that so many stadiums are closed...

In recent years, this has happened to hundreds of courses across the United States, including golfing meccas like Florida, Arizona and California. The main reasons for this are the economic crisis and changes in family lifestyles.

Indeed, between the $45,000 initial membership fee for a private club and the $5 increase in fees for a round of public courses, which one would you choose? ”

IN THE BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS CONFERENCE ROOM, ALL THE PROFESSIONALS IN SUITS AND LEATHER SHOES LOOKED AT IVANA SITTING AT THE HEAD OF THE CONFERENCE TABLE WITH SERIOUS FACES AND LISTENED CAREFULLY TO HER SPEECH.

She wore a blond hair and a black and white black-and-white wool OL suit with a scoop neck and pink satin trim, and the placket was hung up just enough to cover the pair of round Ayonan girth under the matching black V-neck undershirt.

Ivana knows better than anyone how good her figure is, and when facing daily work, she will choose quite decent OL suits for her clothing matching, so that her hot body is not so prominent, making her more authoritative and leading.

The moist powder chu opened lightly, and the corners of her mouth pulled slightly to the side when she spoke, this can't be helped, this is a genetic problem, only her sweet and crisp voice echoed in the entire conference room, and Ivana is also familiar with the group of JING heroes who control the company.

According to the National Golf Foundation, 140 of the 16,000 clubs in the U.S. will close in the next two years, compared to 50 new ones. We have to think about how to survive this economic winter in the face of economic crisis... ”

Pedal –

Stepping on three-point heels, she walked to her office with flying steps, and the female secretary behind her ran a few steps to help her push open the door.

As soon as Ivana entered the office, she kicked off the high heels on her feet with great skill, and said to the secretary standing at the door: "Quick, get me something to eat first." ”

"Prepared long ago, it's your breakfast - Fisherman's Wharf hot dogs. ”

The female secretary hurriedly walked to the side of the rest area, opened a box, took out a hot dog and a cup of coffee from Starbucks and brought it to Ivana, who was sitting in the boss's chair.

"Oh my God, Jenny, you're taking these high-calorie foods again... Okay, okay, fill your stomach first, let's talk about it, look for the Ellen show, I didn't see Andy's interview last night... Whining. ”

With a hint of a smile on the corner of the female secretary's mouth, she turned on the TV with her remote control and turned her back to Ivana, looking for CBS, "Found it, ah... ”

The female secretary smiled and turned to her boss and said, but the scenery was so beautiful, not that she was not right-minded, but that it was too evil.

Ivana's white little hand was in her hand, holding the hot dog of the red roasted Chang, which had already bitten off the head of the hot dog, and then chewed with an intoxicated face, the white salad dressing stuck to the red chun, and she rolled it into her mouth with her head, and there were some at the corners of her mouth...

Oh my God, this scene is so beautiful that I can't bear to look at it! Could it be that eating too much of Mr. Smith has become instinctive? It's really skillful...

"Jenny, what's wrong with you, why are you looking at me like that?" Ivana asked with some curiosity as she looked at the stunned secretary who was swallowing her saliva.

"Oh, no, nothing... The show has been found, I'll give you that tissue. The female secretary, who was already completely evil, diverted the topic in a little panic and was a little nervous.

Somewhat unexplained, Ivana continues to eat her delicious fish-man dock hot dog from top to bottom, and if she knows what her secretary is doing inside now, she will definitely be.

However, from the shape of the hand to the point of opening the mouth, and the salad dressing being rolled, everything is so natural, basically a subconscious reaction, and it is all so familiar, it shows that someone's teaching is simply outrageous.

Looking at her boyfriend who was still calm and confident on TV, smiling and indifferent, Ivana couldn't help but smile and squint her crescent eyes, she started to deal with work so early today, just because she was going to fly to Los Angeles in the afternoon to meet her hooligan boyfriend, she knew better than anyone that she was glued by her boyfriend, and in the first period of time, she basically didn't have much free time.

Either it was reclaimed fiercely, or it was on the way to be cultivated hard. Damn, why is there a feeling of impatience?

"Ahh

Andy was wearing a bathrobe, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, facing the bright sunshine, stretching his body greatly, it was another pleasant morning, and he was in a good mood, but he was ruined by the paparazzi holding a camera on a few trees outside the villa wall.

"These damn bastards, they're getting more and more presumptuous. ”

Andy muttered and closed the white curtain and walked into the restaurant, the little assistant Torrey Black was putting him a sumptuous morning, and saw the big demon king walk in, while putting the chopsticks away, he said: "Boss, today's briefing needs to be replied to as soon as possible, the stock market seems to be in danger of a crash, the Celestial Empire is beginning to fall sharply, especially the stock market through train that HK has been looking forward to was vetoed by their prime minister, and the Hang Seng Index may also collapse today... ”

Andy, who had just picked up the chopsticks after sitting down, was a little confused by Tori's swift speech, looked up at Tori, who was wearing a small white tight shirt on his upper body, and was tightly wrapped in a lilac tight OL skirt, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, and he straightened up while starting to read the briefing in his hand.

"Can you let me have breakfast first? The sky won't fall... Besides, there are still three hours to go to work in New York, has Merrill Lynch's third-quarter loss come out?" Andy rolled his eyes, continued to pick up a bun with his chopsticks, took a bite, and enjoyed his morning with pickles and tofu brain.

"Not yet, but soon, there will be news at six o'clock... As Tori spoke, the BlackBerry phone on the table creaked, and Tori picked up the phone quickly and opened the email, "There is news, Merrill Lynch announced its largest quarterly loss of $8.4 billion in history, and blamed it on the write-down of subordinated loan-related assets... ”

"Uh-huh~" Andy pursed his mouth, raised his eyebrows a little gloatingly, and said, "I'm having fun today!"

The key reason why it is said that it is only fun to watch today is that after all, the US stock market has just passed the peak of the big bull market. But in the initial period after the bull market ended, nothing particularly noteworthy happened in the stock market, and although the stock market began to fall, the decline was slow and gradual.

It wasn't until a year later that the effects of the stock market decline began to become apparent, and banks had to sell illiquid securities at their book value at ultra-low prices.

In addition, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury are still sitting on the dream of surviving the subprime mortgage crisis, and have not given a systematic and effective response, thus exacerbating the bear market crisis and the stock market panic.

“。。。 This time, we want to carry out a long-term layout of U.S. stocks, and we are still short U.S. stock indexes, but from November, I believe that you have also taken advantage of this bull market to make a lot of profits, and our two private equity funds can also pay dividends, so that our customers can be happy, hehe... ”

Andy sipped his coffee with a relaxed face, chuckling at the video window on the monitor in front of him.

"Boss, today's opportunity for a big fall, we can operate it... ”

"No, no, Abil, we've been too high-profile, it's not good, short-term windfall profits are not good for us now, although we are not afraid, but being hated by the Ministry of Finance is not a good thing after all, we can't be labeled as a trouble.

Moreover, this is the general trend, the third quarter economic growth in the United States is solid, the tightening of the financial market has also eased, today is affected by Merrill Lynch's earnings report will fall sharply, but in the next few months, although the stock market will continue to fluctuate downward, but the speed will be very slow, this is the opportunity for us to slowly layout. ”

Andy smiled at the executives of Liberty City Investment Company and shook his head in rejection, he has eaten too much from the financial markets to pull everything into his bowl, he is already enough to attract attention, maybe Wall Street is silently watching the flow of funds belonging to him.

He can stir up trouble in foreign countries regardless of it, and even make a head bird, but at home, unless he doesn't want to mix, he will create market panic for a little short-term benefit, Nima, he doesn't want to be approached by the annoying U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to prove that there are no violations.

That's right, the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States is one of the few departments that implements the presumption of guilt, and then asks the department to prove its innocence by himself, but he is so unreasonable that there is no way to prove it? Okay, confiscate all your illegal gains, and then pay two to three times the fine, and have no money? Congratulations, I can open a single room for you to live in.

Of course, Andy doesn't need to worry about this thing falling on him, but being labeled as troublesome by these departments is really not a pleasant thing, and it is said that the United States is a rich man's world, that is because it has not touched the bottom line of the government, once touched, if the US government really decides to be unreasonable, it will be enough to drink a pot of toss a few times casually.

"Autumn is harvest season!"

Before turning off the video, Andy sighed with a smile on his face, and all the financial JINGs were slightly stunned at first, and then quickly reacted and understood the meaning of the big boss's words.

This year's autumn is coming to an end, so it's natural to say next fall.
