"Hansen, you don't have any money now?" As the four of them were having dinner, Edward asked, "Still, that's fine, those guys' money better not touched, it's hot." ”

Hansen knew him very well and talked about everything.

"Damn, you're right, at first, I didn't think it would be anything to get some money, and I didn't ask for anything for the other party anyway. By the way, I also slept with the girl they sent to contact me, not to mention it tasted good......"

"Ahem" the other three glared at him!

"What are you doing! What's wrong with Master Hansen sleeping with a girl, maybe it's a swallow too! It was a rare experience. ”

"What about later," Chris asked

"Later? That girl often comes to me, and she asks me for leaves...... It feels great to be able to hear Lenin's call after the flight......"

"I'm not asking this!" Chris's face darkened, and he put down his chopsticks and drew a cross on his chest.

"Later, the bunch started to turn their faces and asked me to take the lead in throwing Molotov cocktails at the White House. Or a bomb dropped on the estate of a senator's grandfather......"

"You didn't agree, did you?" Edward said nervously.

"Of course!" Hansen was proud: "They think of me as someone, it doesn't matter if I take the money, it's not a matter of going to the senator's house to throw a bomb, but if the two are combined, something will definitely happen." So I simply refused. ”

"They just let you go?" Edward was curious.

"Of course not! The other party took out the video of me sleeping with that girl, and said that if I didn't follow it, I would go out publicly...... I'm so excited, let them make a copy of it for me first, I'll have to keep it, the brothers and sisters in the 'liberated areas' want to see it......"

"Eddie Warhol, that bastard, said well, everyone will be famous in fifteen minutes in the future, but only fifteen minutes, if that copy of the tape leaks out, I will definitely be famous for more than that. I'm going to be a legend! Got it! Legend! ”

"Find that guy on your head, and when you get back, you should be sent to Siberia to dig coal......" Edward sighed.

"These guys are really not a thing, and I later said I was willing to spend money...... They immediately rejoiced, and said I know shame and seriousness...... "Hansen hung his head.

"You're going to give them money? Buy back the tapes? Edward asked

"Yes, I said at the time, I'll give you a sum of money, you keep the original, just give me a copy, I only have one request, I can't cut off the part of my face that shows my face......"

"If I'm kgb, I'll find a way to cut that thing of yours next time!" Edward sighed.

"No, they don't dare, although the United States is chaotic, it is still very trustworthy in ensuring the safety of the people in the country, Miss Mary is not a waste after all, is it?"

"Hey, I don't have any money, it's really troublesome, although I have a lot of remittances from all over the country, but I can't support it for long......" Hansen looked uncomfortable.

Now he has a bit of a professional revolutionary, and when he mentions him Hansen in New York and Connecticut, he is also a big celebrity.

The leader of the civil rights movement, the core of the student movement, can pull hundreds of people in the field with a single move.

Whites liked him, blacks liked him, he himself was heterosexual, but he got along well with, and all kinds of religious figures could talk.

The relationship with the leaders of the women's equality movement is even more harmonious.

"You're going to be killed by the FBI sooner or later," Chris whispered, "and no one will sympathize with you!" ”

"Hey, hey, don't do that, big man, if you dare to say this in public, I bet your dark-skinned compatriots will scold you to death. I'm one of their idols. Hey, it's really troublesome to make money, look at those idiots on Wall Street, they have made so much, but they are not satisfied...... It's a pity that we can't go anywhere to start a revolution, and it's useless to go to Wall Street to march. ”

"And you know, those vampires have been selling theaters across the U.S. lately." Carl Wright spoke in a rare way.

"What?" Edward and Chris were upset.

The American Cinema Line is a cinema company born at the beginning of the century, when the eight major Hollywood film companies dominated the world.

Each company produces and distributes its own films, and also has its own theater chain.

With the introduction of antitrust regulations in the thirties, cinemas were spun off from film companies.

The bosses of theater chains across the United States smelled business opportunities, intervened in a big way, and finally achieved a hegemony.

When Edward was a child, he almost always watched movies in movie theaters under the National Cinema Chain, and the theater service was considerate, often with various promotional discounts, and sometimes free popcorn and Coke, going to the cinema to watch cartoons was their greatest fun as children.

But over the years, new media giants have been born, the national cinema chain has declined, the stock price is half-dead, and the market share has begun to be gradually eroded.

Edward had even begun to forget about the company that had brought joy to him.

"To be specific, you're learning this......"

Carl Wright and Hansen both had bachelor's degrees in finance and Ph.D. in law at Yale.

"The stock price of theaters in the United States has been around $1 for a long time, which is already very bad, but the guys on Wall Street still don't let it go, and openly say in various channels that the stock will fall to five cents sooner or later...... You know, they collude with the media to fill the world with their voices. One-sided voices. ”

"How do you know that clearly?" Edward was curious.

"You don't know yet." Hansen's eyes immediately lit up: "Karl is the most determined revolutionary among us, because he betrayed the family he was born into, in other words, his participation in the march is tantamount to a complete cut with the class he once belonged to!" ”

"Huh?" Edward and Chris's eyes widened.

The two don't discriminate against, but as straight men, they inevitably have some psychological obstacles to, for fear that "I treat you as a brother, but you want to sleep with me" will happen to you. Friendship between men usually comes from admiration for each other's personality and thoughts, but the thought that the other person may covet their rectum makes everyone retreat.

It's one thing to not discriminate, but you really have to experience each other's valley and hot sausages yourself......

Carl Wright himself is not a lively character, usually described as elegant and very ladylike.

It was only after Hansen's introduction that they realized that Carl Wright was a native of Maine, and Maine was also a New England region.

He came from an ancient family, and as usual, the history of this family is longer than the history of the United States.

The family's ancestors were somewhat Jewish, and soon after arriving in the New World, they made a name for themselves in investment, and suffered a slump in the 29-year slump.

But the dividends of the Second World War, brought them back to life.

By Carl Wright's father's generation, he was already well-known on Wall Street, and his family branch controlled several small investment banks and small brokerages, of course, the scale could not be compared with the booming Salomon Brothers and Merrill Lynch, but in this era, there were investment banks in their hands, and it was an out-and-out high society.

Carl Wright studied finance as an undergraduate, which is what the family meant, counting on him to inherit the family business.

He's also interested in numbers.

Originally, it was a traditional story.

Not only did he learn a lot of solid financial knowledge in college, but he also found that he seemed to prefer men.

For the ancient families of New England, are absolutely dishonorable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have corrupted the family's style.

He won't be sent to an insane asylum, but he will definitely be looked down upon differently in his hometown, and he won't even be qualified to be the leader of a scout camp.

I was admitted to Yale to study for a doctorate, but also to leave my hometown far away.

Then in New Haven he met Hansen, knew about the vigorous development of the civil rights movement, and also knew that orientation was his own business, others had no right to interfere, and there was no shame in men liking men!

Thankfully, he didn't feel proud...... It seems that the development of the United States society is not fast enough......" someone muttered to himself.

Carl Wright didn't dare to come out publicly, so he could enjoy the pleasure of being 0 in New Haven, and back in Maine, he was still the introverted and quiet and somewhat shy kid of a big family.

At the family gathering, he sat quietly and listened to the talk of his elders.

"The National Cinema Line is short-sold by your family?" Edward frowned, he just had some ideas, he wanted to do a vote in this matter, if the opponent was the elder of his best classmate, it seemed that he couldn't do it?

"No, our family is more cautious in doing things, and rarely gets involved in the 'devil's deal'."

Short selling, because it is bloody and cruel, and has an inherently immoral factor compared to long, so it is called.

However, then again, there are more ghosts than people on Wall Street, and short selling is commonplace.

"They're not involved in the deal, but they're always watching."

"Well...... Edward pondered, touching his chin, "Grandpa still has that pile of Bethlehem steel in his hand, and it seems like a good opportunity right now." ”

"Hey, Hansen, are you interested, do a big vote! Let's get some money to spend! ”

"How so? You're going to donate money to me for the revolution! Don't worry, we will not spend indiscriminately, and I will pay for the leaves myself. ”

"Get out! I mean, since the vampires on Wall Street are going to empty theaters across the United States, this seems like a good opportunity for us. Edward smiled sinisterly.

"Ed, I have to warn you, if you are against Wall Street, you can't just rely on your head......" Chris put down his chopsticks and looked at him seriously, "Those guys have a big background. We can't afford to mess with ...... If you're short on money, we can think of something else. ”

Chris looked at him with sincerity in his eyes.

Edward was very moved, the big black guy is this is particularly valuable, he can be calm and think about his friends at critical times.

However, he is not an ordinary person now, he already has a preliminary plan in his mind just now, which looks pretty good, and all aspects have been taken into account, including this hellish background problem, and he also has countermeasures.

"Hey Chris, my good buddy! Feel relieved! When will I challenge those predators without any preparation? Believe me! This time, we can do something about it. ”

"Okay...... Count me in when the time comes......"

"Definitely! We're partners! Edward punched him.

"By the way, when I came back from Chinatown just now, I saw a kind of slender, long, slightly wide leaves, dark green vegetable, which tasted quite strong, and the owner said that this thing scrambled eggs were delicious. I bought two handfuls and put them in the fridge, or I'll eat this tomorrow......"

"You ......" someone's face darkened.

This Tmd is too unlucky!

Even if you buy a bear's paw and come back, it's better than a leek!

Fortunately, atheists have strong nerves, and soon this evil omen is forgotten......

After all, rice country beef is cheap......

After a while, while the supermarket was not closed, I quickly got a ten-pound beef tendon meat back and marinated it, and ate it separately when the time came, which was also a mouthful.

But what he didn't expect was that he would eat up the great bull market on Wall Street that lasted for more than 20 years after World War II......

……

After sending everyone away, he lay on the bed, pondered for a long time, got up, rummaged in the cabinet, found the silver business card that had been a little dark, and dialed the phone number on it.

"I'm Solomon Blomheim, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Edward Young, remember me?"

The voice on the phone was a little more enthusiastic, and there was a little deliberate doubt, "Ed? Why are you in trouble? Or did you finally make the right decision to join me? ”

"Uh...... Thank you for your kindness. I'll talk about this after I graduate. By the way, I've got a good deal here, are you interested? ”

The other end of the line laughed, "Ed." To be honest, you are a talent, but your social connections and experience have led to your current business ,...... Maybe yes, but ...... And, you should know, I'm not short of money......"

Edward shrugged, this is not surprising, the confidence of the children of the family is like this, although I don't know the background of this product, but look at the location and the way to deal with people, "You are right." However, I would say that if you put in 10w dollars, then in 3 months it will multiply tenfold, or even more...... Are you interested? That's right, absolutely legal! We are all faithful servants of the Goddess of Justice, and although she is blindfolded, she can see through all the lawlessness of the world. ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

The country in 1969, although the economy looked good, was an illusion for people of Solomon's level.

They are already seeing the consequences of the false prosperity and are trying to find ways to reallocate their family assets.

The Federal Reserve has begun to increase currency issuance, but due to the existence of the Bretton Woods system, the United States still has to maintain the face of the leading big brother.

In the early stage of the establishment and development of the system, relying on the strong payment and purchase status of the US dollar, while helping the younger brothers to take off economically, the United States also received a huge "aid dividend".

Now, as the European Economic Community countries began to exert their strength, West Germany, France and other old capitalist countries gradually got out of the trauma of the war, and even Italy's economy began to enter a period of development, the consequence is that the yen, West German marks and various francs began to gradually strengthen, the purchasing power of the currency has risen, and it has become a new class from the previous bankruptcy, and the central banks of many countries have also begun to replace a single dollar as a foreign exchange reserve with a basket of currencies.

Currencies such as the Swiss franc and the Swedish krona have even become regular safe-haven varieties and anchor base currencies in international trade.

Coupled with the fact that the GDP of this little brother is rising steadily, the dollar at this moment is no longer able to take the lead in the big brother.

Well-informed sources are speculating about when the Bretton Woods system will be dissolved, the consequences and responses.

The smart money on Wall Street is also feeling the limelight, especially since the Fed stepped into the rate hike channel from the 50s, and the risk-free rate in the market has been climbing as the federal funds rate has risen.

The federal funds rate has more than doubled in five years from a 10-year low of -4% in 1964, and is now above 8%, and it is only a matter of time before it crosses 9.

However, the normal return on investment in the capital market is only around 14%.

Looks good, but it's not normal.

Inflation has crept in, and a hedge must be found.

The simplest, premium postal package tariff has risen from 5 cents to 6 cents per ounce, a penny does not seem like much, but it is converted to a 20% increase, and this is the ounce to make the basic unit of weight, in fact, the resulting overall price rise in society is very powerful, very small, but after the level is enlarged, it will make people feel pressure.

Solomon himself and his family also faced this problem.

But hedging is not easy, the wings of the younger brothers have hardened, the capitalist construction is in full swing, and relying on the exchange rate, in turn, the bald eagle is wantonly ...... Eagle feather ......

Solomon knew this very well, and his heart was moved at this moment!

In fact, in the face of such a geometric explosion of gains in a short period of time, no one will refuse.

"I remember you're Jewish, so you can't do Pounds' rough and untechnical stuff, right?" He was joking.
