Chapter 248, the senior who is responsible for welcoming the guests
The morning dew spits the fragrance of green grass, the blue sky is dotted with white clouds, when the beautiful girl looks at the high-rise building at the antique campus gate, this scene will undoubtedly be remembered by many students for life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The above is the literary version.
The real-life version is ......
"Welcome to Eton College, ladies and gentlemen. ”
A handsome senior came up to the Alice Four, dressed in a typical Eton tuxedo, a black suit that looked like a trip back to the Middle Ages, and said politely, "My name is Conrad Grayson, and I am the president of the student council responsible for welcoming this year's new students, please come with me." ”
Ashley stepped forward, and at this moment, no one could see her usual exuberant vitality, only the cheerfulness and beauty of a sunny girl: "Thank you, Grayson, the second batch of girls in the hundreds of years history of Eton College has arrived at the school, this is a historic moment." ”
"Stop, stop," Alice patted Ashley, who was pretending to be a lady, "History will only remember the first place, and the second batch will be pawns in the future, so Senior Grayson, please lead the way." ”
Conrad Grayson was very handsome, and when he saw the four girls come to the school gate together, as a normal seventeen-year-old, he instinctively thought that he might be able to chat with them at the door for a while. But who knows, the four ladies are not ordinary girls can be compared, and when the long-haired Asian girl spoke, the other three looked like they were unconditionally compliant, which really surprised him.
"No problem, allow me to take a look at the list first. ”
The work was to be carried out, of course, and while leading the four of them into the school gate, Conrad beckoned the other student to stay at the door, and he took out a list from the folder he had brought with him.
"What are your names?"
"Alice Wang. ”
"Sissi Lawrence. ”
"Ashley Olaire. ”
"Maimi Akaman. ”
The names of the four girls poured into Conrad's heart, Wang, Lawrence and Akaman, whom he had never heard of, but whose feet in high-end leather shoes could not help but pause when Ashley's last name rang.
"Oriel...... Ashley, you're Lady Ivy Orel's granddaughter?"
Ashley moved a little further away from him, "It seems that Grayson's family has some business dealings with us, ...... is your father?"
Conrad said modestly, "It's not a big deal, it's just a day investment business." It's Ashley, you're ......."
"Grayson & Co. on Wall Street?"
Sissi suddenly interjected: "I remember you, it seems that you were founded just eight years ago, and it happened to be developed by the oil crisis, and your father is John Grayson?"
Conrad was really stunned, the world is so big, even if Eaton is a place where global elites gather, is this kind of chance encounter a little too strong?
"May I ask if your father is ......?"
"I said a few of you,"
Just as Conrad was about to continue asking, Alice interjected boredly: "Now is not the time for small talk, this big brother, if you don't tell us the dormitory number, I should be tempted to grab the list myself." ”
Conrad shook his eyebrows silently, but seeing that the other three girls didn't mean to question, he had to hold back all kinds of curiosity in his heart: "Please come with me......"
Since the four of them belong to three grades, Ashley and Maiya naturally don't live in the same dormitory as Alice and Sissi. Similarly, although Eton's current low number of female students does not give Conrad the right to walk into the women's dormitory at will. Anyway, it was a matter of two or three small buildings, and after receiving the location, he explained the specific distribution of the houses.
Of course, in the process, the handsome senior also chatted with the girls. Due to Alice's lack of interest, Maimi was even more silent, and the conversation was naturally detained on Ashley and Sissi. There's no way, who calls one of them a famous family in Italy, and the other is a peer with this Grayson senior at home?
"Then ladies, it is a pleasure to show you the way. I will speak on behalf of the students at the opening ceremony and I hope we will ...... then."
"Wall Street's Grayson Company, right?"
It was still Alice, who easily interrupted Conrad's rambling: "What kind of investment business are you mainly engaged in?"
Along the way, Conrad is really getting more and more curious about this long-haired Asian girl, and the name Alice Wang obviously does not correspond to any famous family. Although there is no doubt about the net worth of students who can enter Eton, compared to the famous Olaire family and the daughter of Roger Lawrence, who is also a Wall Street investor, an Asian surname on the bad street......
"Hey, I'm asking you, boy!"
"Oil, as Miss Lawrence said. ”
I don't know why, but the four girls obviously have this Alice as the backbone, and if Conrad can't even see this, he, the president of the student council, can really wash up and go home to sleep.
Alice continued: "So, what do you think of the recent international oil market?"
Conrad's heart became more and more strange, and it seemed that it was necessary for him to look back on this new student: "Of course it is stable, as early as three years ago, OPEC reached an agreement on oil prices and production in London, and the enthusiasm of investors is very high." ”
Alice nodded: "So what do you think about the current political situation in the oil-producing countries?"
Curiosity intrigued Conrad to talk to Alice, not to mention the topic of oil, which he was good at, and when he gushed out: "The Middle East has always been a place of strife, so for oil investors, every action of these countries is crucial." Let's talk about the current Iran-Iraq war, their war has lasted from 80 years to the present, as long as it does not stop for a day, the price of oil in the relevant areas will definitely not fall, but once there is a ceasefire, the price will definitely fall temporarily, which is a good time for us to make profits. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Sissi with great interest: "Miss Lawrence, I don't know if your father is interested in investing in oil, my father will be very interested in introducing you to a few bull stocks, such as the ...... of BP."
"A suggestion for you, man. ”
Alice interjected happily again: "The Iran-Iraq war is getting more and more fierce now, Kuwait has long been affected by the pond fish, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the United Nations will intervene." By that time, it's impossible to say what will happen to the oil market, but don't look back. ”
Conrad couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes: "It seems that Miss Wang is also very good at investing." ”
That's of course.
Alice smiled silently.
She has a lot of spare money, of course, she has already thrown some of her funds into the oil market.
The long Iran-Iraq war began in 1980 and lasted for eight years. In 1986, however, the war became more intense, and Iran entered the so-called Third Period, in which Iran reversed its previous policy of fighting a war of attrition and sought a quick victory.
In early February 1986, the Iranian side dispatched more than 90,000 troops to launch a large-scale offensive codenamed "Dawn 8" to capture the important port city of Faw in southern Iraq. Echoing the battlefield on the ground, there was also an unusually fierce ship attack between Iran and Iraq, with 106 ships attacked by the end of the year, including 28 ships entering and leaving Kuwaiti ports.
As a result, in November and December 1986, Kuwait requested chartering and escort ships to the five permanent members of the United Nations, as the attacks affected the interests of non-belligerents. The Soviet Union and the United States successively agreed to escort Kuwaiti oil tankers and continued to send warships to the Gulf on this pretext, thus adding even greater danger to the already tense situation in the Gulf.
Therefore, in order to avoid further escalation of the war, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 598 on July 20, 1987, calling for an immediate ceasefire between the two sides. However, after the adoption of the resolution, because the two countries had long-standing grievances and different positions on the cease-fire issue, and there were big differences, neither of them was willing to take the initiative to make concessions, and as a result, the implementation of the resolution was delayed for a long time, and it was not improved until 1988.
So it is conceivable that at such a time when the situation is becoming more and more intense, the relevant oil prices will continue to skyrocket, and it will continue until the ceasefire. For oil copyists, this is undoubtedly a heavenly period, and the only thing that affects personal performance is probably only the unpredictability of the future.
"Then Miss Wang, since you think Kuwait will ask the United Nations for help, can you also guess the situation after that?"
At this moment, not only Conrad, but also Sissi and the other three also looked at Alice with great interest.
To say, or not to say?
If so, how to say it?
Alice hesitated.
If you tell the truth, when the prophecy comes true, you can pretend to succeed.
If it is a lie, and Conrad's father listens to him, not to mention whether it is possible, then he can successfully pit an investor, and he is full of fulfillment. But the price is that you may be hated to death by some people and form a small feud.
To say, or not to say?
This is a problem.
However, just as Alice was still hesitating, a man who suddenly came out of the grove interrupted this rhythm.
Evan Delov had been running his schoolgirls for a long time, and he knew it was time for him to show up. (To be continued.) )
