The clouds are thick, and the electric snake is dancing wildly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The black clouds not only changed the weather, but also caused a once-in-a-century haze over Europe.

And even greater pressure has been exerted in the hearts of the management of several national banks in the United Kingdom, Italy, and other countries where the economy is weak and the currency is seriously overvalued.

After completing the layout of the Finnish mark in mid to late August, Shirley leisurely started a 10-day vacation in several cities such as Helsinki, and when further news came, she just finished visiting the Orthodox church with extremely Nordic characteristics and more than 20 well-known museums, and waited until September 8 when the Finnish government suddenly announced that the Finnish mark and German mark were decoupled and floated freely, Shirley resumed her work again.

successfully completed the Finnish Mark's knife test, which also allowed Shirley's group to taste enough sweetness.

In 10 days, 300 million yuan was invested, and when the results were counted, it reached 36 million US dollars, a full 12% profit, if it was placed in normal times, I am afraid it would be enough to make the whole group cheer and celebrate, but Shirley and the group members continued to work calmly, because a bigger surprise was waiting for them ahead.

As is the normal course of history, Zhao Yan expected no deviations:

The decoupling of the Finnish mark from the Deutsche Mark became the trigger for the currency crisis, and after unsuccessful appeals from Italy and the United Kingdom, Bundesbank President Schlesinger publicly announced on September 11 that Germany would never lower interest rates. Speculators in the currency market, upon receiving this news, recklessly turned the target of their speculation to the ever-strengthening Deutschmark.

On September 12, the Italian lira, which has always been a soft currency in the European monetary system, was in a hurry, and the exchange rate fell all the way to the maximum lower limit of the lira-to-mark exchange rate in the exchange rate mechanism of the European monetary system. In this case, although the Italian government raised the bank discount rate twice on the 7th and 9th, from 12% to 15%, and also sold the mark and franc to the foreign exchange market, it did not ease the situation.

On September 13, the Italian government had to announce the depreciation of the lira, because the market self-regulated, the other 10 currencies of the European monetary system will automatically appreciate, the first adjustment of the European monetary system since January 12, 1987.

If the European monetary system had been more flexible in its regulatory mechanism, and countries had become more economic, commercial, and politically connected, at least to the extent that they could jointly resist large-scale risks, I am afraid that there would have been no such famous historical events.

Germany, which is only now waking up from a dream, was forced to officially announce a reduction in the discount rate by half a percentage point on September 14, and took practical actions to support the pound and the lira, which was the first interest rate cut in Germany in five years.

The day after Germany announced the interest rate cut, the pound exchange rate fell all the way, and the ratio of the pound to the mark broke through three lines of defense to reach 1 pound equal to 2.78 marks.

The sharp fall of the pound caused the British government to be confused, and in the early morning of the 16th, it announced a 2 percentage point increase in the bank rate, and a few hours later announced a 3 percentage point increase, raising the interest rate from 10% to 15%. Raising interest rates twice a day is unique in Britain's recent history. While their intentions are very good, the changes in the market are subtle, and once confidence is shaken and the general trend is established, the trend of exchange rate movements is difficult to stop.

Soon the pound fell sharply, and on September 15 and 16, 1992, central banks injected tens of billions of pounds to support the pound, but to no avail. On the 16th, the value of the pound with the mark fell from 1 pound equal to 2.78 marks on the previous day to 1 pound equal to 2.64 marks, and the value of the pound with the dollar also fell to the lowest level of 1 pound equal to 1.738 US dollars.

On the evening of September 16, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Lamont announced that Britain would withdraw from the European monetary system and reduce the interest rate by 3 percentage points, and on the morning of the 17th, the interest rate was reduced by 2 percentage points to the original level of 10%.

After the depreciation of the Italian lira on the 13th, it was in crisis again in the foreign exchange market after only 3 days, and the value of the mark against the lira once again exceeded the limit of the readjusted exchange rate, and the Italian government spent 40 trillion lira worth of foreign exchange reserves in order to save the lira from falling, but it did not work, so it had to announce that the lira would withdraw from the European monetary system and let it float freely.

So far, in the pound crisis, the speculators who participated in this gluttonous feast, the financiers, the forces behind them, and the large and small private equity funds that heard the wind have jointly won a financial war of great historical significance in the financial history of Europe and even the world.

Soxhlet and his team directly and indirectly benefited up to 3 billion US dollars, and the consortium bank benefited from the boom of various businesses and lending, which was even more amazing, and Zhao Yan's team, because of its clear goal, did not need to follow Soxhlet to do tricks, and directly made effective use of the heavy money, in addition to completing the established goal of 2 billion US dollars, there were many unexpected surprises, which are not enough for outsiders.

The night is blurry.

The yellow light that shines through the small window sways in the drizzle of early autumn.

Five-year-old Feng Xiaomei sat in the parent reception room of Hongxing Kindergarten, reading the textbook softly, which was the memorization homework left by the teacher today.

From time to time, I looked up at the drizzle outside, and the little guy's mind was no longer in the textbook.

I don't know why, the little guy who is usually a little outrageously smart, but today he seems extremely absent-minded, and the texts that can be successfully recited in ten minutes are usually out of school for nearly half an hour today, and he is still in the stage of familiarization.

It seems that Mom's late arrival again today has a great impact on the children.

Speaking of her mother Feng Chenlai, she has been exhausted for a while, and her time has been spent on the company's business, so she naturally owes something to herself, a single and only daughter.

Han Lu hurriedly parked the car, held the Kun bag, held up an umbrella, and walked quickly into the reception room.

The extremely patient teacher seemed to be very familiar with her, nodded to Han Lu with a smile, and began to pack up her things, after all, it was a while before she got off work, and her baby was waiting for her to go home.

"Xiaomei, your Aunt Han is here to pick you up!" Teacher Li said to Xiaomei very kindly.

Xiaomei raised her head, and a smile appeared on Zhou Zheng's little face, but it was difficult to hide the sense of loss in her eyes that seemed to be difficult to hide.

"Well, goodbye Mr. Li!" After packing up his things, he picked up his small schoolbag and went out with Han Lu.

This is the third time since September that Han Lu has come to help Sister Feng pick up the child.

After entering the sales season, the business volume in all aspects has increased a lot, whether it is marketing, sales, or HR departments, overtime is a common thing, as the vice president who is in charge of both human resources and administrative affairs across the country, Feng Chen is too busy to pick up the children.

Originally, as the income level of a foreign company like her, after-school care, and full-time nanny services were naturally affordable, but after two accidents in pick-up and nursing, her daughter only trusted Han Lu alone except for her mother, which made it even more difficult for Feng Chen, a single mother, to trust anyone, which is why Han Lu was a little helpless.

Feng Chen was working overtime with several department managers in the company, and had no choice but to ask Han Lu, who had just finished a meeting, to help again, although he also knew that Han Lu had already blown a boyfriend for this reason, but Feng Chen didn't think that it was Han Lu's fault.

A boyfriend, if he can't be accommodating and tolerant, is together, who can guarantee understanding and tolerance between each other in the future?

Seeing that Aunt Han Lu came to pick him up again, the little guy knew that his mother must be the same today: he was working overtime again, so he turned his back and sighed softly, and opened the door of Han Lu's Santana and got into the car.

Han Lulu saw this detail in her eyes, but she could only smile helplessly, for such a situation, I am afraid that I am a single girl, I am also powerless.

I wanted to use my own car to carry Mr. Li for a while, but I was politely refused, because Mr. Li didn't live far away, and I was grateful to go to the night market to buy some vegetables, so I broke up.

On the way, Han Lu enlightened the child, while thinking about the things she had been exposed to recently, and soon arrived at Feng Chen's residence, and when she just stopped the car, suddenly the "tick-tock" mobile phone rang, at this time there was no caller ID business in the mainland, so it was not possible to know who was calling at the first time.

"Hey, hello, who?"

"Hello Han Lu, I am..."Zhao Yan was thinking for a while about how to explain that he had changed his name, when he suddenly heard Han Lu say in a very businesslike tone:

"It's you, Mr. Zhao, I can still hear your voice, why haven't you seen me for a long time, what are you looking for me today?"

"Hehe, long time no see, tomorrow I will go back to Beijing, I don't know if it is convenient to have a drink together?"

"No problem, I happen to have a case at hand, I want to ask you for advice in person, you can set the time and place, and notify me."

Han Lu always remembered that Zhao Yili had been in the company for a few months, and the total time in the company had not exceeded two weeks, but the results of the implementation of several nationwide cases deployed by him, whether it was a marketing case or a strategic adjustment case, were surprisingly good, which really surprised all the people who had doubted him.

This amazingly talented turtle highly educated manager, who does not receive a salary, does not sit on duty, and rarely shows up at Siemens China, is really an alternative.

However, according to Sister Feng's inadvertent mention, the vice president's special task should be about to end, so receiving this call, Han Lu couldn't help but think of it, this young and messy Mr. Zhao, who once hinted to himself about some of his own blueprints, wanted to help him in the past.

Although the time we have worked together is very short, it is not impossible to talk about this matter......
