Chapter 0884 - One Positive and One Strange Sweeps Europe
In addition to representatives of the host country such as King Juan Carlos I of Spain and IOC President Samaranch, there are also heads of state and government dignitaries from more than 20 countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the Olympic reunion is only superficial, and the enthusiasm and motivation to host the Barcelona Olympics are inseparable from money in the final analysis.
Judging from the data just released, the scale of investment in the Barcelona Olympics is as high as 9.7 billion US dollars, exceeding the budget by 266%, which makes Spain, like the last host South Korea, engage in urban construction, and Barcelona can be called a new look.
The benefits are also evident – for example, Barcelona has become the most densely populated metropolis in Europe after London, Paris and Rome, and the unemployment rate in Spain has been falling in the years since the Olympic Games were announced in October 1986, reaching a new all-time low in July.
It is entirely foreseeable that the "Olympic boom" will continue to affect the Spanish economy for some time, so that it can help it avoid the immediate catastrophe to a considerable extent.
Finland, Sweden, Italy, United Kingdom...... These are the lambs to the slaughter.
The richest man sitting in the right place, his eyes were in the crowd of people in front and behind, and every time he passed, he recalled relevant information.
……
The richest man's sons chased the dream team of top NBA stars, and they didn't disappoint them - they won all of them by a big margin after 10 games. Against Angola, the margin was an exaggerated 68 points, with the lowest 117-85 points difference between the United States and Croatia on August 8, but still as many as 32 points.
The Dream Team, which won the championship with ease, was more of a live performance than a game, so much so that head coach Zach Daley easily did not call a timeout, as a beautiful name to show respect for this group of great players.
Tang Huan wants to pass on his feelings of his home country to the next generation while enjoying the game, but although the Chinese team has begun to rebound after the disappointment of the last Seoul Olympic Games, the phenomenon of yin and yang decline in this Olympic Games is too obvious, and the gold medals are mainly concentrated in swimming, diving, and table tennis, which is really difficult to arouse the interest of the sons of the richest people.
Athena was curious to follow her father to watch a women's 10-meter platform diving final, witnessing Fu Mingxia's record 14-year-old becoming the youngest Olympic gold medalist in the history of China and Olympic diving.
In fact, as early as the year before last, at the 2nd Friendship Games in San Francisco, Fu Mingxia won a women's 10-meter platform diving championship and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
However, the real attraction to Athena is tennis - children tend to worship heroes, just as the brothers are happy to talk about the NBA stars of the Dream Team, how cool the ball is, Athena dedicated this sentiment to Steffi Graf, the former queen of tennis, after his comeback this year, won two Grand Slam titles at the French Open and Wimbledon in the United Kingdom, and caught up with the quadrennial Olympics. Annuity slam".
One factor that will be in Steffy Graf's way of defending her Olympic gold medal is that she won the Wimbledon Championships in England last month with relative ease.
This is because Monica Selles, Steffi Graf's main competitor, is more technically suitable for clay and hard courts, while grass is a significant shortcoming, while Steffi Graf is much more well-rounded in terms of adaptation to the playing surface.
What affects the balance of victory and defeat even more is that every opponent of Monica Celes complained to the organizers that its Hedong lion roar was unbearable, especially Steffi Graf's former women's tennis world No. 1 Martina Navratilova, after losing in three sets in the semi-finals, she was angry and publicly commented - "That tone is like a slaughterhouse sow, the moment it is killed, it is screaming!boom!", which finally made the organizers explicitly inform Monica Celes that she must keep "silent mode" during the final. Funny, the current world number one in women's tennis lost to Steffi Graf by a huge margin of 2:6 and 1:6.
As for the Olympics, Monica Seles, who has been training in the United States since 1984 and has lived there for a long time, has not represented Yugoslavia at all, which greatly improves the chances of Steffi Graf, who won the gold medal at Seoul 1988, to defend his title.
It has to be said that professional athletes, who pay more attention to economic income, have limited enthusiasm for Olympic gold medals in order to cope with extremely intense commercial competitions, which further promotes the trend of this Olympic Games to be very optimistic.
In the end, Steffi Graf's opponent in the final was 16-year-old American professional women's tennis player Jennifer Capriati, but there were no dark horses and upsets, and two clean 6:3, successfully defended the title and won the Olympic gold medal.
Athena rushed forward excitedly, holding Steffi Graf's arm and racket, and asked with little stars in her eyes - can she learn from a teacher?
……
After the children had had enough fun during the Olympic Games, Tang Huan gathered them together and said solemnly: "Take your heart back, the special summer camp prepared for you has begun." First of all, we're going to have a serious discussion, and then you're going to get a position to use in the practice of real fighting. ”
The talents of the sons of the richest men are undoubted, and the education they receive from an early age is different from that of ordinary children. More importantly, under their father's attention, they possessed enough minds to control the knowledge that was rapidly accumulating in their minds, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as mature little adults.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Huan is ready to take this opportunity to give his successors a good practical lesson.
Jin Chang and Jinge, who are the oldest and have been studying with Li Fuzhao, the godfather of the Xiangjiang stock market for a period of time, have already guessed the content of this event. They looked at each other excitedly, and then asked in unison, "Dad, how much money can we use?"
Although the sons of the richest men have fine clothes and food on weekdays, their pocket money is still calculated in single-digit dollars. At most, Jinlong, Jinfeng, Jincheng, and Jinna, who are often under the rule of the female ship king Christina, can be regarded as more generous.
The economic policy of the whole family is simply described as that it is not so easy to get something other than the ordinary needs of life, and it is necessary to pay the corresponding labor.
Under such a rigorous growth background, this unique summer camp activity is naturally regarded as the best job opportunity by the sons of the richest people, and then they hope that the principal in their hands is sufficient.
"It depends on how well you understand and master the exchange at hand. Tang Huan smiled and stretched out his palm and shook it, "Depending on the specific situation, it should be around 50 million US dollars." ”
"Isn't the franchise of Heung Kong Telecom forcibly taken back by 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, how can I make the UK pay a price of 2 billion US dollars this time to help my father sulk. Jinfeng said murderously.
The richest man and the second son of the female ship king, who has spent a lot of time at Eton College, and in his spare time, often goes to Chelsea Club to hang out, so he knows a lot about the feud between No. 10 Downing Street and his father, so much so that he is dissatisfied.
"Your filial piety makes Dad very pleased. But I hope that you can always maintain a calm and peaceful mind, so that you can be invincible. Tang Huan smiled dumbly and said: "You must know that at this stage, the UK's foreign exchange reserves are about 22 billion pounds, totaling about 44 billion US dollars. ”
"Under this premise, the oil and water that can be squeezed out can reach one-tenth of the death. What's more, this piece of fat will be shared by a large number of speculators. ”
Jinfeng scratched her head a little embarrassed, "That's how I heard my mother nag." ”
Tang Huan patiently explained: "In the future, you may become a political ~ political dignitary representing the rules of the country, a prince who runs the family business, or a financial ranger who influences the circulation of capital, or a media tycoon who guides public opinion - of course, as much as that, I am very open as a father, as long as you do not eat and wait to die to become a gentleman, and devote yourself to other fields of interest, there is no problem." ”
"Now, I will only tell you about the European capital market, which has shown a surging trend at the moment, that in this game, including currency, bonds, stocks, etc., there are no more than three types of roles related to each other -- the government representatives such as the governor of the central bank and the finance minister who are responsible for maintaining the country's economic order; hedging funds and other speculators who only want to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits in the chaos of the world; and the real economy operators whose duties can be called neutral. ”
"There is no doubt that financial speculators are the most uninhibited. They silently observe the business leaders who run the social economy to get the most accurate data, and at the same time take the initiative to contact the government ~ government officials who control the country's economy to understand the latest developments, and then combine this information to use the capital in their hands to make a profit. ”
"So, this game is essentially a game between people, and the seemingly objective and real technical reports hint at speculative opportunities while also warning of chaos. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked around at the children and asked with a smile, "What role do you think we can play in this kind of game?"
Jin Chang raised his hand eagerly and said, "We are financial rangers who know everything and act decisively. ”
Jin Ming shook his head proudly and said: "The Tang family has countless physical industries in their hands, which is enough for the government~ government to bend down to listen to our voice, there is no need to be a nasty person who stirs up trouble and rain." ”
Jin Long smiled slightly from the arrogance of the female ship king Christina, "We have surpassed the regular roles, and in the end, they all belong to the servants." For example, this time, in addition to sending a return on investment, I also have a good lesson about No. 10 Downing Street, which I don't know. ”
……
Listening to these answers, Tang Huan laughed loudly, "No one can surpass it so much, but you brothers can take on different roles separately, and then cooperate with each other to achieve such an effect." ”
The children looked at each other, and then replied in unison, "We understand, it's like playing a game." ”
"That's right. Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "With such a consensus, we can devote ourselves to this game." ”
"First of all, you have to understand that the key to the rules of the game is the European exchange rate mechanism, centered on the Deutsche Mark. ”
"The European Community, which began to operate on March 13, 1979, is a system designed to regulate the movement of European currency exchange rates and achieve European monetary stability, requiring the use of the Deutsche Mark as a reference benchmark, and other member states to control their exchange rate fluctuations within a range to reduce the fluctuations of European currencies, so that individual companies do not have to worry about drastic exchange rate fluctuations when investing and trading, which will make their business models fall short. ”
On February 7 this year, the Monetary Union Treaty was formally signed by the 12 Foreign Ministers and Finance Ministers of the European Community, which took another step forward in European monetary unity. ”
"It can be said that for more than a decade, the European exchange rate mechanism has worked well, stabilizing the currency without extreme currency unification. All currencies that join this mechanism are allowed to fluctuate in a small range of exchange rates with each other, and if the flexibility is not enough, a country can also negotiate depreciation with its European partners; ”
"But two major changes in the 1990s, German reunification and the global recession, made the European exchange rate mechanism less perfect. ”
"Carrying the heavy economic burden of East Germany, it directly broke this compromise plan, created inflationary pressures in Germany, and pushed the German Central Bank to raise interest rates, while other European economies are experiencing a recession and urgently need to cut interest rates. ”
"This high and low interest rate has caused other funds to pour into the Deutsche mark, and as a result, other European currencies have weakened, notably the Italian lira and the British pound sterling, which are currently trading close to the lower bound allowed by the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, and are likely to break through the lower limit. ”
"The conflict between political ~ political considerations and economic interests is here, and the governments of various countries ~ do not want to violate the European exchange rate mechanism, and the objective pressure of currency depreciation is increasing day by day, which in turn provides excellent speculation space for international capital. ”
Jin Chang said with some doubts: "The choice in front of the governments ~ of European countries is very clear - Germany can cut interest rates to reduce the inflow of foreign funds, while countries with weak currencies such as Italy and the United Kingdom do the opposite; or, the central ~ central bank intervenes in the currency market, sells the mark, and buys the lira and the pound at the same time." As the core of the European exchange rate mechanism, Germany has an obligation to lower interest rates first to help other countries resist the impact of international capital. ”
Tang Huan laughed and said: "Your concern is very reasonable, but this is the game between people, and it is too difficult to get Germany to lower interest rates!" )
