Chapter 12: Big Opportunity
The northern hemisphere has entered a hot summer, while the southern hemisphere has also ushered in a winter with large temperature differences, but whether it is Africa, Australia or South America. These places are still far from the other extreme of the planet, and they do not extend into the Arctic Circle like Russia, so there are almost no cold places.
The Tropic of Cancer crosses Namibia and is just a few kilometers from Walvis Bay, the second-largest city.
Facing the turbulent Atlantic Ocean and backed by the world's oldest Namib Desert, the average temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius can be said to be quite pleasant.
If you have in your mind scenes of war, barrenness, and plague, you're wrong. This situation is generally found in Central and West Africa, and in North Africa only in the Horn of Africa region of Somalia.
Namibia was originally a colony of Britain, Germany and other countries, and once belonged to the same country as South Africa, and it was only 90 years before declaring independence from South Africa.
The city of Walvis Bay has a population of only 65,000, which may not be as big as a small town in China, but the vast majority of them are white English-speaking, and the probability of seeing blacks is not as high as in Los Angeles.
As in South Africa, 8% of people of white descent make up most of the country's resources, while the indigenous people still live primitive lives or work in lowly occupations.
The whole city is also more like a suburban town in Europe and the United States, the streets are spacious and there are no high-rise buildings, only Western-style garden houses, which are much more authentic than those imported Chinese and Western combinations in China.
Angelina's seaside villa is facing a wetland tidal flat, where thousands of flamingos and pelicans stop to roost here, and it is a beautiful scenery against the backdrop of the sunset, so it's no wonder that she chose to give birth to the crystallization of their love here.
Qingyu's Shiba Inu "Potato" was also brought over by him, and he walked the dog after dinner, and walked on the beach with his wife and children to feel the breeze of the Atlantic.
"007 currently only has a total box office of 170 million, and Sony has lost a lot of money this time." Walking through the soft sand, Angelina still hasn't forgotten to keep an eye on what's going on in Hollywood.
"Who let that woman from Sakurai mess with me? He has made me a lamb to the slaughter. ”
"You're just too good at marketing. will not only take advantage of the Internet, but also perform such a play in Cannes. The entertainment pages of the world can't wait to revolve around you alone, if you want to be an actor, those people must not be crazy? ”
"It's better that I feed these entertainment journalists. I just have a poker face, with no rich facial expressions and no body language, and the occasional cameo is okay. Chen Bo stopped, looked at the vast sea, and sighed, "Rather than achieving myself, I prefer to achieve others, and your success and happiness are my greatest satisfaction." ”
"Haya has been elected president of the International Equestrian Federation."
"Expectedly, she has affinity and leadership, and the chair has always been a traditional aristocratic person anyway. You can't play that kind of high-end game if you don't have a rich person. Her dream came true, but what about you? ”
"What do you think?"
"After taking the film, be a director."
"Would you help, then?"
"I have to drop, how can I show my ability if I don't come out with a movie?" Chen Bo said with a grin.
"Queen, queen!" Wan Yu, who was held by the two of them, raised her little face and imitated his words at this time, although her voice was milky, her words were correct and round.
"Look, she's more anxious than you are." Chen Bo touched her head and said affectionately, the little girl is a standard African gene, it is indeed different from most of the aesthetics, and it is not beautiful, but those big and round eyes reveal a sense of innocence.
"Wanyu is famous now, among the most influential celebrity babies in Forbes, she has ranked second, taller than the children of the Beckham family!"
"Oh, our girl is so good, I haven't even been on the Forbes list!" Chen Bo laughed at himself, "Who is the first, how can our children be the runner-up." ”
Is Forbes really not his name? Yes, but in the top 500 list, because he has hidden too many assets, so that the magazine can't start, a big bull like the old David only shows more than 2 billion US dollars in the list, is this possible?
The little girl became famous in Cannes, and she can be called the best baby in the world, coupled with the repeated topic hype, it's no wonder that she is not popular!
But what do one-year-olds understand? You can criticize Chen Bo for not respecting the film festival, but you can't criticize the child for being ignorant, don't you be afraid to drill into his arms after tearing it up.
"It's Suri, Tom Cruise and Katie's daughter, who was born just last month." Angelina said expectantly, "Do you think we will be a daughter or a son?" ”
"Of course it's a daughter, if I give birth to a son who is as naughty as me, I will be angry." Chen Bo loves his daughter very much, and he is not interested in his son, and as far as the family members are concerned, Jiayan's status is far inferior to Jinyu and Qingyu. "We have a good saying, the daughter is the intimate little padded jacket of the parents, and the boy grows up to be a little wild cat, not at home."
"A child should grow up to live alone, just like a bird leaving its nest, and he will never grow up if he lives with his family." This is when the differences between the traditional family ethics of the East and the West are revealed.
"After all, it's my own children, and there will always be times when I can't bear to watch them grow up."
"Isn't that what it means to multiply?"
"Your realm is not ordinarily high, it has risen to the meaning of the continuation of the race."
Chen Bo couldn't help but laugh and said, there is a routine prenatal check-up every month, and it is not possible to say whether a boy is a girl in China, but the right of parents abroad. However, for the sake of that mysterious sense of expectation, neither of them deliberately asked.
The town has everything you need to live comfortably and securely, with a port that provides all the essentials and local fishermen who breed delicious oysters for sashimi. When you have nothing to do, rent a dinghy and head out into the surrounding waters to meet herds of seals on the beach, and they will be very cooperative with you in friendly gestures and posing for poses.
The Skeleton Coast to the north is much more terrifying, with wrecked shipwrecks and stranded whale skeletons, and a staggered water, turbulent undercurrents, and sometimes violent winds and waves that terrify passing merchant ships, and the coast is only suitable for visiting when the wind and waves are calm.
Otherwise, take a small plane to the easternmost part of the country, the Hanas Animal Sanctuary, a privately initiated public welfare project for the rescue of wild animals, where Angelina is one of the main patrons, ostriches, giraffes, lions, hyenas, cheetahs and other African animals are everywhere and enclosed in the open wilderness.
The living conditions are certainly much worse than those of Walvis Bay Harbor, but there are still many self-driving tourists who come here, and they can also make some money to make up for it in the reserve.
Although Chen Bo is free in his spare time, he has not actually cut off contact with the outside world, but always pays attention to the latest progress.
Assange, a hero who has been blacklisted by various countries, regularly publishes documents on WikiLeaks every month, of which as many as 100,000 are related to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and most of the others are about the involvement of European and American forces in African violence. Correspondence and other information of the government.
Although the White House spokesman repeatedly stressed that those were secondary classified documents that had expired a few months ago and had no impact on the war ahead, they set off a wave of anti-war movement. Wherever military action is involved, there will inevitably be inhumane acts, and war is so cruel.
The European and American elites who are far away from the battlefield all have their own virgin attributes, which naturally makes those heads and brains break out in a cold sweat and be anxious.
Who knows what more important documents he will reveal next time?
It would be nice if it was only obtained through technical channels, and strengthening technical detection and blockade would always reduce the probability of being decrypted.
But this deeply hidden organization is mainly obtained through legal means through a network of secret weaves, which is much more terrifying. Perhaps the right and left hand of the little Bu Shi are members of this organization, and what he just said will be known to Assange.
Relying only on his illusory ideas, he was able to gather so many people around him to provide a steady stream of internal documents, and it should be fortunate that he is not a terrorist or a cult leader, otherwise it would be much more terrifying.
The Federal Reserve's repeated interest rate hikes have raised the lending rate from 1% two years ago to 5.25% now, and the tightening monetary policy has begun to bring a hint of panic to financial markets. The arrival of these hot money has created the illusion of pre-madness, and the stock market, bonds, and futures are all in a state of red.
The world is a thriving scene, coupled with the frequent good news of the BRIC countries, the bright mid-year data swing to that swing for hesitant investors to give a shot in the arm, the first half of the financial market was still stumbling, suddenly exploded.
If you look closely at the transaction data, you will find that the volume is increasing every day.
Batch after batch of new shares were listed on the exchange, and batch after batch of new bonds were sold around the world through Wall Street.
It is no longer an investment in wealth management products, but a charm for harvesting wealth, and it has been flowed to every financial market.
The Chinese market is really a special existence, the conservative financial system has not accepted many subordinated bonds, and it will basically not be directly impacted, in front of the managers is the challenge of international foreign trade, any form of financial crisis under the consumer industry will bear the brunt of the impact.
This is a great crisis in the world, but it is a great opportunity for the rise of China.
Chen Bo knows very well what he wants to do, and he won't do it if he harms his compatriots, this is the moral bottom line in his heart.
