In fact, Arthur did not guess wrong, a few days later, Monet called Tang Yibo, a high-achieving Harvard student sponsored by him, to his home and asked him: "Yibo, I asked you to intern at the securities exchange during this time, how did you study?" ”

"I've learned everything, but I can't figure out which stock can go up." Tang Yibo replied a little embarrassed.

"It's normal that you can't grasp it, in fact, what I need you to do is to trade on the stock exchange according to my instructions, since you have learned everything, then from next week you will short the two stocks of American Steel and DuPont Gunpowder, and the period will be set at three months!"

"Boss, although I don't know much about stocks, but American Steel and DuPont Gunpowder are star stocks, and they will never fall without a very special reason, you short them, is this ......" In the latter words, Tang Yibo was embarrassed to say.

Monet replied mysteriously: "Because within three months, that is, before August 1914, there will be a very special event, and at that time these two stocks will definitely fall!" ”

That's right, in fact, what Monet is talking about is the First World War, and some friends may be puzzled, since there is a world war, stocks like steel and gunpowder should rise sharply, especially in a non-war zone like the United States, how can it fall?

This is because before World War I, European capital was the main force in the U.S. stock market, and after World War I, Europeans had to withdraw from the U.S. and invest money in local production, otherwise they could not meet the needs of the war.

Because of the large-scale withdrawal of capital from European countries, which caused a great panic in the stock market, the United States was not a beacon of the world at that time, and Americans were not so confident, feeling that they could not live without European capital, so Wall Street at that time could be said to be as gloomy as the end of the world.

But those big conglomerates are still very forward-looking, but instead of boosting the stock market at this time, they have added fuel to the fire, until they hit the bottom, so that the US stock market has nothing to do with European capital......

What Monet wants to do is actually similar to these big conglomerates, first short and then wait for the bottom to fall to the bottom and then go long backhanded, so that the profits will be terrifying, but he naturally has no need to tell Tang Yibo, the trader, and even if he says it, he may not believe it.

Just when Monet was giving instructions to Tang Yibo, Catherine suddenly knocked on the door and came in and frowned and reported: "The editor-in-chief is in trouble, the people from the Women's Federation are looking for you!" ”

As soon as he heard the five words "Women's Federation", Monet felt a headache inexplicably, because he didn't need to ask, he could guess what they were looking for him, it must be for "Playboy", after all, how much men like this magazine, so how disgusted women are, especially these women's rights, but in the United States, women's rights are very powerful, and even the strange prohibition of alcohol for more than ten years has been promoted by them.

But no matter how annoying it was, he could still see it, so he waved his hand and said, "Please let them in!" ”

Originally, Monet thought that women's rights should be a bunch of ugly women who don't attract men, but he didn't expect that the leader was actually a beautiful woman who was nearly thirty years old but had good looks and a tall figure, but her cold eyes and temperament showed that she should not like men......

I saw this woman introduce herself: "Hello Monsieur Monet, I am Taylor Marceau of the Women's Federation!" ”

"Hello, Madame Marceau......"

But before Monet could finish speaking, Marceau interrupted: "Please call me Miss Marceau!" ”

Monet hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, I'm sorry Miss Marceau, may I ask what you are here for today?" ”

"There is indeed one thing that bothers Mr. Monet, and that is that I want you to stop the release of Playboy!" Marceau replied in a light tone.

"Well, can I ask why I was asked to stop publishing?" Monet asked knowingly.

"Isn't the answer obvious, because Playboy magazine has obvious elements of slandering and vilifying women, and as the vice president of the Women's Federation, I have the obligation to persuade Mr. Monet to stop publishing this kind of magazine!" Marceau replied with a look of course.

Monet spread his hands and said: "But this is not against the law, and I have not slandered and scandalized women!" On the contrary, I think this is beautifying and promoting female beauty, why should the young, beautiful, and proud body be hidden? I even think that every girl should take a set of photos that can show her beauty to the best when she is youngest and most beautiful, so that when she is old, she can also have a memory.

After all, there will always be a day when we will grow old, our hair will slowly turn gray, our skin will slowly become less tight and dull, and there will be more and more wrinkles, so we should save all this when we are young, and I think not only women, but also us men should take a set, otherwise when I have a big belly or a hunched shoulder, I can use this set of photos to brag to my grandson! ”

At this time, there was a burst of applause from outside, Monet turned his head to look, it turned out to be his photographer Scarlett walked in and applauded: "Boss, your idea is really great, I have decided that I want to open such a photo studio to help everyone retain the memory of youth!" ”

Listening to Monet's words, Marceau thought for a moment, and then replied: "I admit that Mr. Monet's idea of youth just now is good, and even if there is such a photo studio, I will go to shoot a set, but it is obvious that this is completely different from the nature of "Playboy", one is to keep it for himself to appreciate and commemorate, and the other is to be forced to show it to others!" ”

Without waiting for Monet to speak, Scarlett preemptively retorted: "Who said that the girls in Playboy are forced? I am the photographer of Playboy, and I can testify that every girl is voluntary, because there are women in this world like Miss Marceau who are reluctant to show themselves, and naturally there are women who like to show their beauty to others, isn't this the freedom of women? ”

Then Hedy Lamarr pointed to Scarlett's beautiful legs in transparent stockings and said, "To give you an example that may not be appropriate, Miss Scarlett, why do you wear such transparent stockings, isn't it because you think you can show the world your beautiful legs after wearing them?" But if according to your theory, can a woman wear such transparent stockings? Definitely not, because it's currying favor with men! ”
