Chapter 137: A Thousand Dollars Buying Horse Bones and a Thousand Words and Thousands of Gold (I)
"Alright, stop!"
Zhang Shaoping listened to the professional terms that this guy spit out, and immediately had one head and two big, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"I said man, I don't understand what you're saying at all, so you can just say it, so far, has you made a profit or a loss by speculating on U.S. bonds? Is it a big profit, or a small profit? ”
Liu Luanxiong laughed and said: "Actually, I don't understand this, this is to take it out and bluff people!" I don't know what the principle of investment is, anyway, buy when you should buy, sell when you should sell, and you will make a steady profit. Now, you can rest assured, you will earn it. ”
"Look at it, how good it is, it's simple and clear, everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it."
Anyone who is a little white like Zhang Shaoping will have a hard time explaining, Liu Luanxiong's half bucket of water has been done very well.
Yuan Tianfan smiled slightly and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is the United States that has a shortage of money and is in a hurry to borrow money. A few years ago, the world economy was sluggish, and the United States, in order to boost the economy, invested desperately, causing serious inflation, and then ran out of money. The United States saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly implemented a tight monetary policy, raising the benchmark interest rate by a large margin, and at the beginning of last year, it once reached 16, while the repo rate on treasury bonds was maintained at about 20 on average, so that even if the inflation of 12 is subtracted, you can get a yield of 4 by saving money to the bank to eat interest, and buying treasury bonds is even more terrifying to about 8. ”
Zhang Shaoping asked: "In other words, if I buy a one-year treasury bond with $1 million, I can earn $80,000?" ”
"That's true, but you're missing two things."
Yuan Tianfan explained: "The money earned is taxable, but the United States has implemented a tax reduction policy to ensure that investors make a profit. What is even more interesting is that the original intention of the United States is to solve the problem of money shortage through austerity policy, increase exports, and reduce trade and fiscal deficits, but in fact, the influx of hot money has caused the dollar to continue to appreciate, and the economy has boomed while exports have been shrinking. Currency appreciation will cause exchange rate differences, and the US dollar has appreciated by 23 in recent years, which shows how big a windfall profit is. ”
High interest rates and high exchange rates are very profitable, but they are also very risky, and once the US debt defaults or the dollar depreciates and the bond interest rate is lowered, everything will come to naught. Another major source of income for speculating on U.S. bonds is to bet on people's predictions about the future direction of the economy, such as two-year Treasury bonds, and if people think the outlook is not good, they will sell them at low prices, and vice versa.
"Ah Ping, what do you do with so much, as long as you can make money." Saying that, Liu Luanxiong showed a look that all men understand, "Let's eat first, after eating, I invite you to be hi pi hi pi!" ”
On the pretext of celebrating his birthday, Liu Luanxiong poured Zhang Shaoping a lot of wine, and went back to the room drunk and fell asleep.
After sleeping until noon the next day, Zhang Shaoping got up energetically.
"Ah Hu, is something going on, why do I always feel that everyone's gaze at me today is a little wrong?" Zhang Shaoping grabbed Chen Feihu and asked.
Chen Feihu said with a smile: "Zhang Sheng, not long after you went back to your room to sleep last night, Mr. Liu's 'gift' was delivered, but you slept too deeply and didn't open the door, so you didn't 'receive'." ”
"Pick! Isn't it just a gift, you need to care so much? You can leave it to me now. ”
"Hey, the 'gift' is gone."
"Gone?" Zhang Shaoping suspected that he didn't listen to the truth, it should have been taken away, right?
"That's a young mold!" Chen Feihu said in a low voice, "It is said that he is only thirteen and a half years old, but his body is very well developed. ”
Zhang Shaoping's mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff a salted duck egg, and he was really thundered. European and American young models are prevalent, Zhang Shaoping knows it, but he is not interested in this, but who knows that Liu Luanxiong almost let him play.
If you look at the most famous models at this time, you have to talk about Brooke. Xiao Si Can, born in 1965, she took nude photos for magazines at the age of 10, and participated in the movie "Pretty Baby" at the age of 13, playing a child .ji, which caused an uproar around the world. But in the same way, her elegance is peerless, bright and unparalleled, and she has also exploded countless lolicon scandals**, causing the crime rate of molesting young girls to rise all the way.
"Isn't that asking me to make mistakes, damn it?"
Zhang Shaoping gritted his teeth and jumped out of words, fortunately, he was "not strong enough to drink", so he would "have no blessings to enjoy", otherwise, overnight love is likely to be exchanged for the instability of the backyard - the loss of a whole forest.
Liu Luanxiong, this guy, has been put on the gray list by Zhang Shaoping, a bad friend, an absolute bad friend, you must beware of him!
When I went to the magazine again, I met Tina. Brown, Wang Weiwei, and Bai Lan are also there. When Zhang Shaoping arrived, the three girls were arguing about something, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Tina, who was originally at a disadvantage of 1 to 2. Brown, when he saw Zhang Shaoping's figure, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said urgently: "Oh, dear Zhang, you came at the right time, come and support me!" ”
Headless and brainless, Zhang Shaoping felt confused and asked, "But I don't know what to support you?" ”
"That's right." Wang Weiwei said eloquently.
It turns out that the three of them are arguing over who to be the cover girl of the magazine's inaugural issue.
Tina. Brown's preferred person is Brooke. Xiao Si - the world's heavyweight top model, her fashion and influence are everywhere, in New York, Hollywood, Paris, London and other fashion cities, you can see her huge advertising pictorial everywhere. In particular, three years ago, she shot a smash hit for her jeans campaign for the well-known American clothing brand CK, with the famous advertising slogan: "I will not let anything stand between me and Calvinklein jeans." "Shocked the world.
I don't know if CK made Brooke it. Silk's fame is still Brooke. Xiaosi has created the brilliance of CK, anyway, in just 3 years, Brooke. Silk has become synonymous with CK jeans.
Wang Weiwei's fancy person is Elizabeth. Taylor, this is even more amazing, when he was young, he was crowned Hollywood, nicknamed "Yu Girl", and was praised as the first beauty in the United States. Although she is now old, she is still a half-old, and her mature charm is still fascinated by men.
These two women, one is a beautiful girl who is just in her youth, and the other is a beautiful woman who is still glamorous, and they each have quite a lot of fans.
While listening to Wang Weiwei's introduction, Zhang Shaoping flipped through hundreds of photos on the table, including Elizabeth. Taylor, Catherine. Deneuve, Brooke. Xiaosi and other three international goddesses, there is also Karen. Alain, Kate. Capshaw and other up-and-coming actresses, and Sophie. Marceau, Nicole. Kidman and other young models have very easy schedules for the latter two, not very famous, and basically they can be crossed by paying money, but like Elizabeth. Taylor's kind is different, in addition to making an appointment, someone must also have a free slot.
As soon as Wang Weiwei finished speaking, Bai Lan added: "Originally, I was looking for Brooke. It's nothing, but the point is, Brooke. Xiaosi is also shooting the cover of "Vanity Fair" this month. If we also look for Brooke. Xiaosi's words may give people the illusion of being effective. ”
"Brooke. Xiaosi also took a cover photo for "Vanity Fair" this month? Zhang Shaoping, who was also thinking about which one to choose was more suitable, heard Bai Lan's words, his eyes flashed, put down the photo he was looking at, and asked.
Tina. Brown thought that Zhang Shaoping had also given up on Brooke. Xiaosi is the candidate, she still stubbornly said: "Brooke. Xiaosi's topic surname is the strongest, if we also find her to shoot the cover, it will be launched at the same time as "Vanity Fair", which can take the opportunity to hype. ”
Tina. Brown's words are directly said to Zhang Shaoping's heart, the inaugural issue is not hyped, who knows which mountain you came out of? "Vanity Fair" is famous enough, Brooke. Xiaosi is also famous enough, if you can associate the two with "Vogue" magazine, it is difficult not to make a sensation.
Zhang Shaoping's eyes flickered, and he directly clapped the board and said, "You must invite Brooke. Xiaosi shoots the cover, it is best to tailor some fashionable clothes for her and publish a fashion photo book! ”
Suddenly the peak turned, Tina. Brown was immediately happy and said happily: "I'll just say, with Mr. Zhang's vision, how could he give up such a good time for hype." ”
Wang Weiwei said in embarrassment: "But, Zhang Sheng, if our magazine is similar to "Vanity Fair", it will be criticized. Buying "Vanity Fair" is buying, buying "Fashion" is also buying, why should everyone spend double the money to buy homogeneous publications? ”
"Who said I'm going to be a magazine of the same quality as Vanity Fair? Elizabeth. Taylor, Catherine. Deneuve, Brooke. Xiaosi can squeeze out the schedule of all three, right? Then put them all in the inaugural issue of our "Fashion" magazine, and make a special topic of three women competing for glory, representing the three generations of middle, young and young. And isn't Vogue's affiliated magazine, Vogue, also launched at the same time? It just so happens that I know the predecessor of Vanity Fair, but I also merged a US version of Fashion magazine, so we hype up the similarities and the differences to elevate our unique features. ”
In the years when Sophie Marceau was not popular, Catherine? Deneuve is the only national treasure actress in France, and her fame is world-renowned, and she has been praised as the "first lady of European cinema". Of course, her beauty and aristocratic atmosphere are also undoubted, and she is definitely one of the darlings of the fashion industry.
Tina. When Brown, Bai Lan, and Wang Weiwei heard Zhang Shaoping's words, they didn't refute it, but their eyes wandered, and they didn't dare to contact Zhang Shaoping. Zhang Shaoping was very surprised, what do you mean by this? Neither against nor in favor, but silenced.
Under Zhang Shaoping's gaze, Tina. Brown said: "This plan, whether it is good or not, we have also considered it, but to invite the three of them, it will cost a lot of money." ”
Zhang Shaoping smiled heartily and said, "What did I think it was, it turned out to be this reason!" If we want to be an instant hit, the necessary investment is necessary, and if we don't do it, we will succeed as soon as we do it. ”
Wang Weiwei said with a smile: "With Zhang Shengyou's words, I am relieved, and I can finally let go of my hands and feet to do it." ”
Bai Lan also said: "Zhang Sheng's courage and arrogance are really not blown, I knew that you would support us, but Wei Wei and Brown don't believe it." ”
"Hearing you say this, my heart is a little unsteady, are you hiding something from me?"
"What can it be? Zhang Sheng, you think too much. Bai Lan waved her hand in a hurry to deny.
Seeing Zhang Shaoping's thoughtful appearance, Wang Weiwei interjected: "Zhang Sheng, in terms of clothing design, Tan Yanyu will come to help me, and there are several masters in the fashion industry involved, which is much easier." But in terms of photography, I still have to continue to make appointments, and I am in a hurry, so I won't talk to you much now. ”
Before Zhang Shaoping could react, the three girls found an excuse one after another and fled. After a while, Zhang Shaoping said to himself: "There is definitely a problem!" ”
