The trail leads to the lowest part of the valley, where there is a large reservoir upstream, and the water from the outflow gives a small river in the valley. It is surrounded by dense jungle and rocky rocks, and has a beautiful scenery. Although the temperature outside has exceeded 25 degrees Celsius, in the depths of the valley, the temperature here is at least three degrees lower.

At a zigzag bend in the creek, Zhou You and Felipe, with the help of the guards, removed all the equipment they had prepared for today from the car.

They first laid a piece of felt on the lawn, and then put an inflatable air mattress on top of the felt, and a blanket on top of the air mattress, so that the women and children could play freely on it.

After settling the women and children, they began to set up barbecue grills, set up campfires, and set up chaise longues and dining tables. That's when the preparation of various foods began.

Years of self-reliance and rich party experience, Zhou You has a wealth of experience in outdoor barbecue. And Felipe's royal elite education policy also allowed him to be involved in everything. So neither of them is a waste of grains, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

As soon as Zhong'an and Zhongge came here, they took off their shoes and started playing in the creek. This little river is not so much a river as a stream. Due to the scarcity of soil on the island, the river flows directly above the rocks, so the water is clear.

The stones of the embankment have been weathered and washed over the years, and there are no sharp angles, and they are not afraid of being injured, so Gracia is relieved to let them toss and just watch them from the side.

Leonor was also placed by Gracia on a round stone in the shallow water, and she sat there, with her two little feet in the water, and from time to time she slapped the surface of the water with her hands, very happy.

Zhou You lit the bonfire, and soon the fragrance of burning pine wood came out. Felipe washed the aluminum kettle, then poured a pot of pure water, then took out the prepared coffee cup and the coffee beans that had been crushed at home, and waited for the water to boil.

The two of them lay on the deck chair, enjoying the mountain breeze, and one lit a cigar, obviously very comfortable.

"Evan, last May, your company organized an annual meeting that shocked the world, and the topic of 'changing power dynamics' that you raised was alarmist last year, but this year, it has become an accurate prediction. This year, there are countless people looking forward to your annual meeting and expecting you to come up with new topics, but why didn't you organize an annual meeting this year? ”

"It depends on what the purpose of organizing the annual meeting is, last year's annual meeting was organized because I was imprisoned in the United States, and the development of the whole company needs to give clear development goals and unite people. But this year, I was so busy with the strong crisis of subprime loans in the United States, and the company was developing in an orderly manner, so there was no need to hold an annual meeting. ”

Felipe laughed and asked, "So, you've taken America's problems as a crisis?" ”

Zhou Youlen paused for a moment, and then laughed. Yes, because the fog of history has lifted, I am very sure that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States will affect the whole world. But for others, it remains to be seen whether there will be a crisis.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After years of vigorous development of the subprime loan system in the United States, it has now reached a situation where it cannot be reformed. Those American financiers can get countless funds by throwing out a concept at random, and from this concept they derive countless new concepts that people can't touch, fooling people all over the world to pay for it. This situation is very scary, when the world's economy is out of the realm of the real economy, like stocks rely on speculation to make profits, without the support of the entity, what will become of the future, can be imagined. ”

Felipe immediately changed from friend mode to prince mode and asked: "Do you think this crisis will affect Spain?" ”

Zhou You did not hide anything from him, because he wanted to rely on this matter to reach a closer financial cooperation with Spain. Therefore, he did not hesitate to say: "Of course, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States will become a financial crisis that affects the whole world, and all developed countries in the world, as long as there are countries in the financial field that are out of touch with financial speculation that are out of reality, will be affected." If we want to reduce our losses, we must act now to cut the huge amount of money invested in the new economy, carry out quantitative easing, and keep the major financial institutions on track. ”

Felipe didn't know much about the economic aspect, so he didn't fully understand what Zhou You said, but he also knew that it would certainly not be a trivial matter to make Zhou You pay so much attention to it, even to put aside the affairs of major companies, to abandon the development plans of South America, and to put aside the plans to invest in Africa for the time being.

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I send an observation team to participate?" ”

Of course, Zhou You will not refuse this kind of request, and he also needs a third party to participate in it to prove that he has not made the slightest violation in this operation. Although Zhou You said that he was not afraid of the retaliation of the United States, he had so many industries in the United States, and for the sake of his own industry, he had to succumb to reality. As long as all his actions are in line with normal business operations, even if the United States suffers a lot of losses, they can only see this bitter fruit for now.

Acts like revenge are always so inappropriate when directed against a country.

The kettle whined, and Zhou You wrapped a towel around the handle of the kettle and poured boiling water into the coffee cup. "Of course, but I need your observation team to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that our operations are not disclosed to third parties."

Felipe clipped the cigar in his hand and asked, "......What does this third party mean?"

Zhou You laughed. "Non-Spanish institutions and businesses."

Felipe also laughed, understanding the meaning of the trip. Although it is said to be a restriction, it is the same as no restriction when you travel around it. Because there is no secrecy at all for other institutions, the operations of financial institutions in Spain will be revealed to everyone.

In fact, this is also deliberately done by Zhou You, because the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States cannot be avoided by relying on government adjustments. Zhou You's current plan against the United States is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy, or a normal business method, and he is not afraid of the US government's countermeasures at all.

When the lid on the subprime mortgage crisis was lifted, the domino collapse could not have been avoided by any means. The ills they have accumulated over the years need to be repaid with great effort, and this is a foreign debt that they must repay.

Zhou You also poured a few cups of coffee for a few guards, and shouted, "Honey, do you and Letizia need a cup of coffee?" ”

"Of course...... You know my tastes. Gracia took Leonor in his arms and threw her into the stream as well. The water here flows over the stones, and the temperature of the water is not low after the sun scorching, and the little ones have a great time playing in the water.

Zhong'an is a person who is crazy, she saw that Leonor also went into the water, and immediately became excited, and had a water fight with Gracia, but accidentally the whole person fell into the water, causing everyone to laugh.

Zhou You brought two cups of coffee and placed them on the big stone beside Letizia, holding the little princess Sophia in her arms, sleeping soundly in the warm sun.

Felipe suddenly said loudly behind his back: "Evan, can you be an investment advisor to the royal family?" ”

Zhou You turned around and asked, "What's the reward?" ”

"A Count Title Without a Fief ......"

Zhou You pondered for a while, the Spanish royal family is relatively strict with the management of the honors of nobles, and now there is no fief to seal at all, and Zhou You, as a foreigner, was directly named an earl, which caused a little too much of a sensation. "Personally, I think that if Gracia is made a countess, it will be easier to operate than if I were to be made a count."

Felipe nodded and said, "A title of count, whether it's you or Gracia, I'll do my best to mediate." ”

Zhou You smiled and said to Gracia: "Congratulations, dear, maybe in the near future, I will call you Countess." ”

For the title of nobility, Zhou You is actually not so important, although having this title will be of great help in Western countries, but the current Zhou You is not the fledgling unknown person before. Now, even if he doesn't have this title, everyone in the world knows about it.

To exaggerate, a title of nobility is not only not helpful to travel around now, but rather a restriction. As the richest man in the world, he doesn't need anything to prove his greatness.

The reason why he now attaches importance to this title is for the sake of Zhongge and the future Queen of Spain. As long as he thought that his grandson might become king of Spain in the future, Zhou You was willing to pay any price.

Gracia is now a countess, and this title can be passed on to Zhongge in the future, and Zhongge has this identity, and if he wants to marry Leonor in the future, there will be no identity obstacles.

Therefore, now Zhou You deliberately pretended to be impressed by a noble title.

As for helping the Spanish royal family invest, it is easy to travel around the country. Aside from the immovable property owned by the royal family that cannot be mortgaged, the Spanish royal family is arguably the poorest of the royal families in Europe.

The king's annual salary is only about 200,000 euros, and Felipe is only half of his. As for Letizia, there is not a penny of annual salary at all, and they only have some position subsidies for these royal family members, and the position allowance for the entire royal family is less than three million euros.

The money covers all the expenses for their visits abroad, hosting receptions, travel, and educating their children. For ordinary people, this is a lot of money, but for a royal family, this money is pitiful. The British royal family has more than 30 million subsidies a year, but they are still calling poor.

The Queen of Spain, Felipe's mother, was going to visit Felipe's uncle in London, England, and because it was a private trip, the queen even took a red-eye flight on a low-cost airline, and the ticket cost was less than 20 euros.

And the funds that the entire Spanish royal family can use, relying on the estimation of Zhou You, should not exceed 30 million euros, which is the accumulation of the royal family in the past and some investment income. This money is not a burden at all for Zhou You, and any investment he makes can earn the investment income of these money for decades.

Even if Zhou You is to help them subsidize this fund, it is only a small problem for Zhou You, so it is not a problem to help them invest.

Felipe is also quite excited, and he is known for his accurate investment vision around the world. But because his own funds are already a huge number, he does not accept outside funds at all.

There are many institutions that have also followed the footsteps of Zhou You's investment, such as Singapore's equity fund Temasek, who have made countless funds by following the pace of Zhou You's investment, but many more institutions have not been able to keep up with Zhou You's footsteps.

Now Zhouyou's share of equity investment has been reduced a lot, and most of the funds have been invested in the development plan in South America, but most institutions cannot participate in this plan, because these pots are monopolized by Zhouyou.

Seeing that Zhou You simply agreed, Felipe was also more excited, and he began to discuss with Zhou You that the royal family's funds should be mainly invested in those areas.

The royal family has a little more money at their disposal than Zhou You thought, but not much, and when you add up their investments all over the world, it is less than 40 million euros, which is all the money they can use. In addition, such as the royal palaces where they live now, the holiday villas in Europe, and some royal collections and jewels, these are not to be used.

In terms of returns, equity investment has the highest return, but there are few channels suitable for royal investment now, and only one Facebook is currently in the development stage. But this profit is too lucrative, and Zhou You doesn't want to give it to them.

The second is stock investment, Zhou You carefully analyzed the stocks of Google, Tencent, and Apple in his hands, and suggested that Felipe put all his funds into these three stocks.

At present, the stock market value of these three companies has not exceeded the 10 million level, and the highest Tencent is only 80 billion, Apple is 76 billion, and Google is also nearly 70 billion.

Zhou You also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to pull the Spanish royal family into his carriage, so that even if he offends the United States fiercely, he doesn't have to worry too much.

I didn't use any conspiracy, it was all a conspiracy, that is, a legitimate business method, and no matter how big the loss the United States suffered, it was also suffering. However, it is still necessary to guard against some of their low-level methods, because the symmetry of power between him and the United States is unequal, and the Yankees are not so honest.

With more allies, especially those who have good relations with the U.S. government, the Yankees will be more cautious even if they want to retaliate.
