Chapter 944
Dr. Chen made a straight face, "The most annoying thing is that someone is the second person who enters the palace and says that he must quit sex, but he really can't control his desires." Someone also asked me to prescribe aphrodisiac medicine, which is three parts poison. I'm a doctor, not a charlatan. He sighed and said, "Some people just don't care for their bodies. ”
Fang Monan sat on the rocking chair, shook his head, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "The ancients said: The young man is fighting, the middle-aged is fighting, and the old man is fighting. It's a pity......"
Old Man Lin looked at the young man sitting meaningfully and smiled, "This is what Confucius said, these three precepts are like the three passes of life, and if you can overcome them, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, and the sea and sky are wide; If you can't break through, you will be in a daze and in prison. In fact, true freedom is not to do what you want, but not to do what you want. Those who can control themselves are truly mature people and can achieve true freedom. ”
"When you are young, your blood is undecided, you are easy to be impulsive, you will inevitably fight bravely, and you like to fight and win; When he is in his prime, he has struggled for half his life, his reputation and status are small, and there are many temptations, and it is inevitable that he will indulge in indulgence; When you are old, your blood is weakened, and when you are old, your life's career merits have reached its peak. What is nature at this time? It is in accordance with the natural law of human aging and death, ending calmly and completing the last journey of life. If the heart of gain and loss is still so heavy, the desire for power is still so heavy, and you still want to continue to be the shopkeeper, then it is really 'old and not dead is a thief'. This sentence can really be called a golden saying for the ages, and it speaks to the human feelings and physics of life. The implication is profound. Dr Chan added.
"Aunt Mo did the right thing!" Dr. Chan said.
Grandma pointed at herself and asked wonderingly, "What happened to me?" ”
"Let's put it this way! It's good that you send the child back to the parents! Even though you are very reluctant. Dr. Chan said.
"How do you say this, it is their responsibility, and the children should go to school and grow up, and the parents know the kindness of the children!" Grandma said very easily.
"That's why I said Aunt Mo is a smart person." Dr. Chen paused for a moment and continued, "For example, if a small couple quarrels, the elderly generally can't manage it, so you must learn to let go." When people are old, they are smart people when they are in charge. ”
"In the Book of Changes, there are nine sayings: Kanglong has regrets!" Fang Menan said lightly. "In the words, 'Kanglong has regrets.'" Repentance' and 'miserliness' are considered 'the lesser of the fierce' in the Book of Changes. But there is still a little difference between the two, regret can still be self-reflective, and it is okay; Miserliness is 'no crying if you don't see the coffin', which is relatively bad. "The voice is mellow and pleasant. And the words are striking on people's hearts.
Grandma Lin smashed Old Man Lin. He tilted his head to the side. Grandma Lin whispered in his ear, "I finally know why you like being here." It's time to quit! ”
"Hehe......" The two looked at each other and smiled, this is really a good place to retire. The most important thing is that someone understands them.
"Humph! Easier said than done! Huang Yilin pouted and said, "It's like quitting sex, you see that they can quit, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people to see Chen Lao." ”
"Hey...... But I think you're all pure-hearted. ”
"Ahem......" Everyone coughed awkwardly.
"What do you think?" Fang Monan smiled and shook his head, "It seems that you are still too idle." ”
"Don't, don't! I'm so busy every day, I have time to mess around. Huang Yilin hurriedly waved her hand.
"Don't be snickering, this ring is not only about men, but also about a woman." Fang Monan said casually.
"Poof......" burst out laughing, everyone knows who this is talking about!
"Grab the money, you ......" Huang Yilin's face didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, anyway, her white cheeks were flushed.
"That's it! It's going to get dark. Fang Monan jumped up from the rocking chair, "Old Chen, I won't send Doctor Li." ”
Fang Monan went upstairs and downstairs to check the room first! He slowly paced back to the middle of the mountain.
Those rich nouveau riche don't live on farms, but stay in the best hotels in Yunxian County, which has made Hyatt Regency's turnover rise a lot this month.
**************
Fang Monan sat in front of the sofa and watched the news casually at seven o'clock, the last five minutes were international news, and the female anchor said in Mandarin, "Italy announced the closure of the official foreign exchange market, and the lira implemented free floating, and the floating time was extended indefinitely. ”
Fang Monan looked at the TV screen in surprise, raised his eyes and looked at the calendar, September 15th, two days earlier than his previous life. Gee...... The Italian lira was defeated in this battle, perhaps because more people joined in, and its strength increased greatly, and Italy surrendered ahead of schedule.
Compared with the domestic market, which has dispelled the ideological fog and vigorously engaged in the economy, the international financial market has changed dramatically, and Europe has become a battlefield.
"Nannan, don't look at the weather forecast so distracted!" Before Mr. Lin finished his words while sitting on the sofa, the phone rang, and he picked it up directly from the phone, "Hey! "Old Man Lin hasn't reported himself yet.
Over there, Lin Chengdong hurriedly ripped off his tie, unbuttoned the two buttons, and shouted sweaty, "Dad!" I'm sorry I didn't listen to your old words, the investment department has lost a lot in the foreign exchange market! ”
"I have analyzed you so thoroughly you stupid, you can still make investment mistakes." Old Man Lin jumped to his feet angrily. "You bear child, don't you think you are ignorant and backward, then you know the financial market!"
"Dad, how do I know how Italy, as a sovereign country, could be so useless and surrender." Lin Chengdong said cowardly.
"If spaghetti could be guarded, it wouldn't have stabbed its own people in two world wars." Old Man Lin said angrily.
"Puff ......" Fang Monan pursed his lips and snickered, the old man described it really appropriately, Italy is really a pig-like teammate.
"Dad! Don't be humorous. Now what? Lin Chengdong was so anxious that he still had the heart to joke.
Although Lin Chengdong is not by the old man's side. But I often talked to Mr. Lin on the phone, and from time to time I also talked about the current economic situation, of course, in July, Germany raised the discount rate to 8.75%. Such excessively high German interest rates caused a sell-off of the pound in the foreign exchange market, and the lira rushed to buy the mark, causing the lira and the pound to fall sharply.
"What else can I do, make up for it from the pound." Old Man Lin said.
"Dad! Britain is not Italy, but he is sworn to declare that the pound will not be devalued. At the beginning of September, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Lemmon announced that Britain would borrow 7.5 billion pounds worth of foreign exchange from the International Monetary Fund, all of which would be used to stabilize the exchange rate of the pound. ”
"You idiot, how much the pound has fallen today. It has depreciated by 6% from 1 to 2.95 at the beginning of the year. "Old Man Lin couldn't wait to get angry and hit his elm head with a wooden stick." The British government has not yet figured out the real reason for the depreciation of the pound, and simply attributes the depreciation of the pound to the interest rate differential. In fact, the interest rate differential caused by the exchange rate differential is only a superficial phenomenon, and the increase in Germany's economic strength caused by the reunification of Germany has broken the balance of power in Europe, the rigid joint floating exchange rate system, and the European single currency plan threatens the status of the US dollar are the fundamental reasons for the attack on the European monetary mechanism. ”
Old Man Lin woke him up. "Behind international capital stands the United States. Stupid got it. He borrowed 7.5 billion compared to the international hot money that could not afford to be tens of billions of pounds, boy, you are running out of time. ”
"Got it, Dad! I won't talk to you anymore. I hurriedly deployed. Lin Chengdong hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Bear child, don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." Old Man Lin said, "I hope it's still too late." ”
"Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the hearts that can't be finished. Fang Menan joked with a smile.
"Little elf!" Master Lin made her tremble.
"Godgrandpa, the analysis is good!" Fang Menan gave a thumbs up.
"How! Your grandfather's analysis is not bad! Old man Lin said proudly, reading so many financial magazines sent from abroad is not in vain.
Old Man Lin said, "Alas! In the eyes of Westerners, Europe has been the center of the world since Columbus discovered the New World, whether political, economic, military, cultural, or financial. In the hundreds of years from the 15th century to the 20th century, a number of world-class powers and powers rose in the vast land of Europe. First it was Portugal and Spain, then the Netherlands, then England, France, Germany and Russia. Among them, Russia straddled across the Eurasian continent and became a socialist state, the Soviet Union, after the October Revolution. ”
Fang Menan tapped his index finger on the armrest of the sofa and said, "And after World War II, the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union made Europeans feel tremendous pressure. By the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union had surpassed European countries and became the world's two superpowers at that time, shaping the post-war world pattern. The Soviet Union was isolated due to the confrontation in the ideological sphere, and the strength of the United States led to the transfer of the global political, economic, and financial centers from old Europe to the United States; At the same time, at the end of the 80s, Japan was a time when the scenery was unlimited, the Asian Four Tigers and the Four Little Tigers took off economically, and China in the reform and opening up was also full of vigor, gradually increasing Asia's voice in the global competition pattern. ”
Old Man Lin said again, "Standing on the map of old Europe and looking around, there is the powerful polar bear Soviet Union in the north, the United States, the hegemon of the earth in the west, and Asia in the east, and a sense of crisis can't help but hit my heart. It has been on top of the world for hundreds of years, and how can it suddenly become a second-rate country! The old man paused and said, "So unity is strength, but the simpler the truth, the more difficult it is to do." Then a united Europe is a strong Europe, whether it is land area, population, scientific and technological level and economic scale, Europe is enough to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union and become the third pole of the world, but unfortunately it is never a country. ”
"Last December, the Treaty was signed, establishing the European Central Bank by July 1, 98 at the latest, and introducing a single European currency on January 1, 99.
This greatly stimulates the sensitive nerves of Americans. If a single European currency were to be implemented in all EU member states, the dollar would no longer be needed for transactions within the EU member states, and it was entirely possible that the EU's strong power would support a strong currency and cause a serious shock to the dollar in the international market. This is difficult for Americans to accept, and the creation of a unified currency must be prevented as much as possible. Therefore, long before the birth of this unified currency, the United States decided to strangle it in gestation. Fang Menan said calmly, "This hunt is inevitable. (To be continued......)
