"Britain has suffered a lot of losses now!" Old Man Lin looked at the news of one sentence and said.

There are few financial reports in China, and information is lagging behind and communication is poor. Unlike the 24-hour rolling news in later generations, or the Internet is endless, checking the market anytime and anywhere.

Just like the foreign exchange market, due to the different geographical locations of the world's financial centers, the Asian market, the European market, and the American market are connected into a global foreign exchange market that operates continuously 24 hours a day due to the time difference.

The New York market opens at 8:30 a.m. (New York time), the Chicago market opens at 9:30 a.m., the San Francisco market opens at 10:30 a.m., the Sydney market opens at 6:30 p.m., the Tokyo market opens at 7:30 p.m., Hong Kong and Singapore open at 8:30 a.m., Frankfurt opens at 2:30 a.m., and the London market opens at 3:30 a.m. With such a 24-hour uninterrupted operation, the foreign exchange market becomes a day and night market, and the foreign exchange market will only be closed on Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays in various countries.

This continuous operation provides investors with an ideal investment place without time and space barriers, and investors can find the best time to trade. For example, if an investor buys yen in the New York market in the morning, and the yen rises after the Hong Kong market opens in the evening, and the investor sells in the Hong Kong market, he can participate in any market and buy and sell at any time, no matter where the investor is. Therefore, the forex market can be said to be a market without time and space barriers.

Grandma Lin and Grandma looked at him, why did they sigh so much.

The phone rings, and you don't have to guess who's coming. Old Man Lin picked up the phone, and Lin Chengdong's excited voice came from inside, "Dad...... Daddy......"

"Okay, I know you're excited, and you've finally made up for it." Old Man Lin said with a smile.

"That's right! Dad not only makes up for it, but also makes money! Lin Chengdong said excitedly, he was sitting in the office in disheveled clothes, and his beard was unkempt, although his face was haggard, he was in a happy mood.

"Dad! Next I ......"

Father and son muttered on the phone for an hour. Lin Chengdong nodded frequently on the phone. Nod yes.

Hanging up the phone, Old Man Lin turned around and was startled. "What are you looking at me for?"

"What are you plotting with your son?" Grandma Lin looked at the old man with sharp eyes and said.

Mr. Lin explained to them the storm in the European foreign exchange market these days in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"Listen to my brother say that, how much do we win. The other party loses as much as they want. That is, one's own happiness is based on the suffering of others. Grandma tried to say.

"Make money in the financial investment market. It's a zero-sum game, you lose, others earn. If you make a profit, someone must lose, and its essence is that you live or die. Old Man Lin said. The eldest sister is right, the zero-sum game is that one's own happiness is based on the pain of others, and the two are completely equal in size, so both sides try to achieve 'self-benefit at the expense of others'. The result of a zero-sum game is that one party eats the other, and what one party gains is what the other loses, and the interests of society as a whole do not increase by one point. ”

"If a stock or the entire stock market rises or falls, the value of a certain stock or the stock market as a whole will also rise or fall, for example, the stock price of Nippon Steel falls from 800 yen to 400 yen, and the value of all Nippon Steel shares is reduced by half.

However, in the foreign exchange market, the change in the amount of value represented by the fluctuation of the exchange rate is completely different from the change in the amount of value of the stock, because the exchange rate refers to the exchange rate between the currencies of two countries, and the change in the exchange rate is the decrease in the value of one currency and the increase in the value of the other.

For example, a few years ago, 1 dollar was exchanged for 360 yen, and now, 1 dollar is worth 200 yen, which means that the value of the yen is rising and the value of the dollar is falling. That's why forex trading is known as a 'zero-sum game', or more precisely, the transfer of wealth.

In recent years, more and more funds have been put into the foreign exchange market, and the volatility of the exchange rate has been expanding, which has led to the scale of wealth transfer is getting bigger and faster, and the speed is getting faster and faster, with the daily transaction volume of 1.5 trillion US dollars in global foreign exchange, rising or falling by 1%, that is, 150 billion funds to change the new owner. Although the exchange rate of foreign exchange is very volatile, no currency will become waste paper, even if a currency is constantly falling, however, it will always represent a certain value unless the abolition of the currency is announced. ”

Grandma and the fat man digested it for a while before they squinted, "My good ......" Although the fat man has known it for a long time, his heart still beats faster every time he hears it.

Fang Monan said calmly, "The reason why the zero-sum game has attracted wide attention is mainly because people find that similar situations can be found in all aspects of society, and the glory of the winner often hides the bitterness and bitterness of the loser."

From individuals to countries, from politics to economics, it seems that the world is a huge zero-sum playground.

This theory holds that the world is a closed system, wealth, resources, and opportunities are limited, and that the increase in the wealth of individuals, regions, and countries necessarily means the plundering of other people, regions, and countries.

We have vigorously exploited and utilized coal and oil resources, leaving less and less for future generations.

It is a fact that resources are non-renewable. ”

In later generations, many cities were demolished for reconstruction, which was also a zero-sum game, except for fattening the private pockets of some people, the GDP figures were better, and the overall social benefits did not increase as a result.

************

In the golden autumn of October, 'the autumn into the small city is cool to the bones, and no one is ripe persimmons. The red face is not broken, the saliva is not broken, and the greasy and sweet is not in the world. ’

Persimmons are picked in the snow and frost, and only persimmons are the only fruit in winter. Its fruit is beautiful in color, sweet and juicy in taste, rich in nutrition, it is a popular fruit, known as the good fruit of late autumn.

Fang Monan often comes to Xishan these nights, which is the place where the old man of Guiguzi escapes, but he has never entered the cave again.

The most is to fly to the top of the mountain, and look at the autumn and winter seasons when I finally look forward to the green persimmons changing into delicate red faces. At this time, the persimmons on the tree turned from green to red. The green persimmon tree is full of red persimmons, and the branches as thick as rolling pins are bent over. The drooping branches seem to indicate that people are coming to pick them quickly.

It's a pity that the four sides are steep, and people can't come up, so they have to cheap Fang Monan, and there are many persimmon trees on the top of the mountain.

The color of the fruit is as red as fire, and the luster of the fruit surface is named after the crystal. Because of the soft quality after ripening, the skin is fiery red, and when it matures in late autumn, it is full of branches, like a flame. It is a big color red, crystal bright, thin skin without seeds, the flesh is honey sweet, it tastes cool and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, the taste is excellent, and the peel is very easy to peel off.

If the persimmons are not ripe, you can use a cardboard box with some green apples in it, or put some pears in it, which can promote the ripening of the persimmons.

However, no one here came up to grab Fang Monan, so he continued to let the persimmons hang on the tree. It's a big deal, it's really something to eat frozen persimmons.

In winter, persimmons are generally placed outdoors and frozen into ice at extremely low temperatures, which are called frozen persimmons, which are easy to store. Because frozen persimmons are extremely hard, they are generally put into water before eating, and through heat exchange, the temperature of frozen persimmons rises, softens, and is easy to eat, this process is called thawing persimmons. The taste of frozen persimmons that have been melted is very different from those that have not been melted, and some people eat cold and hard frozen persimmons directly, which has another flavor.

Fang Monan jumped up and down with the basket, watching the red persimmon peel off and sucking it, it was really sweet as honey. It's cool and very refreshing, I ate a few in a row, and when it's almost over, I start to fill it in the basket, and I just give up when it's full!

The persimmons here are extraordinary due to the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array, although they are not as good as the peaches in the cave, but they are also very beneficial.

Filled with two baskets, Fang Monan flashed like the wind in the moonlight and returned to the farm.

"Nannan! You're running away again. Grandma looked at the two baskets of red persimmons in her hand and smiled.

"The persimmons are finally ripe, come and try them at grandma." Fang Monan put the basket on the dining table, "Those who come to see have a share." ”

"Then you're welcome." Chang Jiuchun said, picked it up and peeled it off and sucked it, and the sweet juice slipped into his mouth, "Hmm! It's so sweet. ”

"Delicious!" Vikala said.

"You can't eat too much if it's delicious, it's hard to digest if you eat too much at night, and your stomach is upset." Fang Monan said with a smile, "Ming'er sits on a persimmon dinner." ”

"Yay!" Huang Yilin raised her hand and shouted happily.

is another foodie who was conquered by Fang Monan's cooking skills.

Early the next morning, after Fang Monan practiced in the morning, he went into the kitchen and took out the persimmons picked last night, as well as the cornmeal ground from the new corn this year, which was sent by Sun Youzhen.

"Nannan, you're going to steam your nest!" Grandma seemed to have peeled off the skin of the persimmon, put the pulp into the cornmeal, and used the juice of the persimmon to mix the dough without adding water.

"That's a good guess, it's a steamed nest." Fang Menan said with a smile.

"In the past, I was afraid that the sweetness would not be enough, so I usually put sugar or sugar osmanthus, but that is only done by rich people. The poor people are made of cornmeal and heterozygous noodles, and when they were young, they were afraid of eating, so they left the nest suddenly. Grandma was surprised, "Why do you want to do this, I don't eat it in my life, I don't want to." ”

"Grandma, what you said, don't eat it after steaming!" Fang Menan joked with a smile.

"Who said I won't eat it, I will eat what Nannan does." Grandma said with a smile.

"Hehe......" Fang Monan smiled and said nothing. (To be continued......)
