Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 810

The lineup of this rostrum is quite luxurious. In addition to representatives of the host side such as King Juan Carlos I of Spain and President Samaranch of the International Olympic Committee, there are also heads of state and government officials from more than 20 countries. member.

Of course, the Olympic reunion is only superficial. The enthusiasm and motivation to host the Barcelona Olympic Games are ultimately inseparable from money.

Judging from the data just released, the investment in the Barcelona Olympic Games is as high as US$97 billion, 266% more than the budget, which makes Spain, like the previous host South Korea, vigorously engage in urban construction, and Barcelona can be called a new look.

The ensuing benefits are also very obvious - for example, Barcelona has become the most densely populated metropolis in Europe after London, Paris, and Rome; from October 1986, when the right to host the Olympic Games was announced to Barcelona, ​​to the present Over the years, the unemployment rate in Spain has been falling all the way, reaching a new historical low in July, the opening month of the Olympic Games.

It is entirely foreseeable that the "Olympic boom" will continue to affect the Spanish economy for a period of time, so that it can help it avoid the immediate catastrophe to a considerable extent.

Finland, Sweden, Italy, England... these are the lambs to be slaughtered.

The richest man, who was sitting upright, looked at the crowds of people in front, back, left and right, recalling relevant information every time he passed by.

……

The sons of the richest man's enthusiastic pursuit of the dream team composed of top NBA stars did not disappoint them - after ten games, all of them won by big scores.The score difference against Angola reached an exaggerated 68 points; that is, when the US team and the Croatian team competed for the gold medal on August 8, the score difference of 8 to 117 was the lowest, but there were still as many as 85 points.

The dream team that easily won the championship is not so much about participating in the game as it is about performing live, so that the head coach Zach Daly did not call a timeout so easily. Respect from the players.

Tang Huan wanted to pass on the feelings of his motherland to the next generation while enjoying the game, but although the performance of the Chinese team began to pick up after the disappointment of the last Seoul Olympics, the phenomenon of yin and yang decline in this Olympics It is too obvious, and the gold medals are mainly concentrated in swimming, diving, and table tennis, so it is really difficult to arouse the interest of the sons of the richest man.

Athena curiously followed her father to watch a women's 10-meter platform diving final, and witnessed Fu Mingxia's process of becoming the youngest Olympic gold medalist in China and Olympic diving history at the age of 14.

In fact, Fu Mingxia won the women's 10-meter platform diving championship as early as the [-]nd San Francisco Friendship Games the year before, and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

However, the event that really attracts Athena is tennis - children are always prone to worship heroes. Just as the brothers happily talk about the NBA stars in the Dream Team and how cool their skills are, Athena dedicated this feeling to Shit Fei Graf, after the former tennis queen came back this year, she won two consecutive Grand Slam championships at the French Open and the British Wimbledon Tennis Open. She also caught up with the Olympic Games held every four years and has a strong rebound momentum. Some media have to exclaim that it may create a "New Year's Eve Golden Slam".

One factor working in Steffi Graf's Olympic gold medal defense is the relative ease with which she won Wimbledon last month compared to the previous French Open.

Because Steffi Graf's main competitor, Monica Seles, is more suitable for clay and hard courts, while grass is an obvious shortcoming. The site adaptation aspect is much more comprehensive.

What further affected the balance of victory was that every opponent of Monica Seles complained to the organizers that her roar was intolerable, especially Steffi Graf’s former world number one in women’s tennis, Mattie Navratilova, after losing in three hard sets in the semi-finals, publicly commented with great dissatisfaction - "The tone was like a sow in a slaughterhouse, the moment she was killed! Ouch! Ouch! ”, which ultimately led to the organizer explicitly informing Monica Seles that she must maintain “silent mode” during the finals.The result was funny. The current world number one in women's tennis was completely defeated by Steffi Graf with a super disparity of 2:6 and 1:6.

As for the current Olympic Games, Monica Seles, who has been training in the United States since 1984 and has lived there for a long time, did not represent Yugoslavia at all. Fu, the chances of defending the title are greatly improved.

It has to be said that professional athletes who pay more attention to economic income have limited enthusiasm for Olympic gold medals in order to cope with extremely high-intensity commercial competitions, which further promotes the very optimistic trend of this Olympic Games.

In the end, Steffi Graf's opponent in the final was the 16-year-old American professional female tennis player Jennifer Capriati. In the end, there were no dark horses or upsets. Two clean 6s : 3, defended successfully and won the Olympic gold medal.

Athena rushed forward excitedly, holding Steffi Graf's arm and racket, and asked with starry eyes——Can I learn from a teacher?

……

After the children had had enough fun during the Olympic Games, Tang Huan gathered them together and said solemnly: "Take your heart back, the special summer camp prepared for you has begun. First, we have to seriously discuss Just a moment; then, you'll get a position to use in real-life practice."

The talents of the sons of the richest man are beyond doubt, and the education they have received since childhood is different from that of ordinary children.More importantly, under the attention of their father, they have enough intelligence to control the knowledge quickly accumulated in their minds, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as mature little adults.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Huan is ready to take this opportunity to teach his successors a practical lesson.

Jin Chang and Jin Ge, who are the oldest and have been studying with Li Fuzhao, the godfather of the Xiangjiang stock market for a period of time, have already guessed the content of this event.They looked at each other excitedly, and then asked in unison: "Dad, how much money can we use?"

Although the sons of the richest man are well-clothed and well-fed on weekdays, their pocket money is still calculated in single-digit dollars.At most, Jinlong, Jinfeng, Jincheng, and Jinna, who are often under the rule of the ship queen Christina, can be considered more generous.

A simple description of the entire family economic policy is that it is not that easy to get something beyond ordinary living needs, and you must put in corresponding work.

With such a rigorous growth background, this unique summer camp activity is naturally regarded by the sons of the richest man as the best job opportunity, and they hope that they have more capital in their hands.

"That depends on how well you understand and master the exchange in front of you." Tang Huan stretched out his palm and shook it with a smile. "Depending on the specific situation, it should be around 5000 million US dollars."

"Heung Kong Telecom's franchise rights were forcibly withdrawn by 150 billion Hong Kong dollars. This time, the UK will have to pay 20 billion U.S. dollars to help Dad out." Jinfeng said murderously.

The second son of the richest man and the ship queen has spent a lot of time at Eton College, and even in his spare time, he often goes to the Chelsea Club to hang out, so he is very concerned about the dirty relationship between No. 10 Downing Street and his father. I understand so much that I feel dissatisfied.

"Your filial piety makes Dad very pleased. But I hope that you can always maintain a calm and peaceful mind, so that you can be invincible." Tang Huan laughed dumbly: "You know, at this stage, the British foreign exchange The reserves, which are like £220 billion, add up to about $440 billion."

"Under this major premise, one tenth of the oil and water that can be squeezed out is exhausted. What's more, this piece of fat will be shared by a large number of speculators."

Jinfeng scratched her head in embarrassment, "That's what I heard from my mother."

Tang Huan explained patiently: "In the future, you may become political figures who represent the rules of the country, you may become a prince running a family business, or you may become a financial ranger who affects the circulation of capital; or you may become a media tycoon who guides public opinion. ——Of course, it’s more than that. As a father, I’m very open-minded. As long as you don’t just wait to die and become a dandy, and devote yourself to other areas of interest, there’s no problem.”

"Now, I'm only going to tell you about the European capital market, which has already shown a surging trend. In this game including currencies, bonds, stocks, etc., there are no more than three types of roles that are related to each other—— Government representatives such as the governor of the central bank and the minister of finance who are responsible for maintaining the country's economic order; speculators such as hedging funds who only want to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits in chaos; and operators of the real economy who can be called neutral in their duties. "

"There is no doubt that financial speculators are the most unrestrained. They silently observe the business leaders who run the social economy to obtain the most authentic data; at the same time, they actively contact government officials who control the country's economy to learn about the latest developments; and then use these The intelligence is combined, and the capital in hand is used to make a profit from it."

"So, this game is essentially a game between people. The technical reports that look objective and true, while suggesting speculative opportunities, are also warning of chaos."

Having said this, Tang Huan looked around the crowd and asked with a smile: "What role do you think we can play in this kind of game?"

Jin Chang raised his hand eagerly and said: "We are financial knights who understand everything and act decisively."

Jin Ming shook his head proudly and said: "The Tang family controls countless real industries, which is enough for the government to bend down and listen to our voices. There is no need to be a nasty person who stirs up trouble."

Jinlong smiled with the arrogance of the female ship king Christina from the bottom of his heart, "We have gone beyond the regular role, and in the end, they are all servers. For example, this time, in addition to giving a return on investment, we also teach a lesson." The sensible No. 10 Downing Street."

……

Listening to these answers, Tang Huan laughed loudly, "No one can surpass you like this, but you brothers can take on different roles and cooperate with each other to achieve this effect."

The kids looked at each other, and then replied in unison: "We understand, it's just like playing a ball game."

"That's right." Tang Huan nodded happily and said, "With such a consensus, we can fully devote ourselves to this game."

"First of all, you need to understand that the key to the rules of the game is the European exchange rate mechanism centered on the German mark."

"The European Community began to operate on March 1979, 3. It is a system aimed at constraining the fluctuations of the European currency exchange rate and achieving European currency stability. It requires the use of the German mark as a reference benchmark, and other member states control their own exchange rate fluctuations within a certain range. Within the range, the currency fluctuations in Europe are alleviated, so that companies do not have to worry about sharp exchange rate fluctuations when investing and trading, which will make their business models fall short.”

"And on February 2 this year, the "Currency Union Treaty" officially signed by the 7 foreign ministers and finance ministers of the European Community took the European monetary unification a step forward."

"It can be said that for more than ten years, the European exchange rate mechanism has worked well. While stabilizing the currency, there is no extreme unification of the currency. All currencies participating in this mechanism are allowed to fluctuate within a small range of exchange rates. If Insufficient flexibility, a country can also negotiate depreciation issues with its European partners; this then provides some governments with the possibility to use interest rates to manage the economic cycle, and finally achieves the goal of balancing exchange rate stability and interest rate flexibility.”

"However, two major changes in the 1990s - German reunification and the global recession - made the ERM less than perfect."

"Carrying the heavy economic burden of East Germany directly broke this compromise plan, created inflationary pressures in Germany, and pushed the German Central Bank to raise interest rates; at the same time, other European economies were experiencing economic recession. There is an urgent need for rate cuts."

"This one-up and one-low in interest rates has caused other funds to rush into the Deutschemark, and the result has been a weakening of other European currencies, notably the Italian lira and the British pound - which are currently trading close to the lower limit allowed by the ERM. Levels are traded and there is a strong possibility that the lower limit will be breached.”

"The conflict between political considerations and economic interests is here. The governments of various countries do not want to violate the European exchange rate mechanism, and the objective pressure of currency devaluation is increasing day by day, which in turn provides an excellent space for international capital to speculate."

Jin Chang said with some doubts: "The choice before the European governments is very clear-Germany can cut interest rates to reduce the inflow of foreign funds, while countries with weak currencies such as Italy and the United Kingdom can do the opposite; or , The central bank intervenes in the currency market, sells the mark, and buys the lira and the pound at the same time. As the core of the European exchange rate mechanism, Germany is obliged to lower interest rates first to help other countries resist the impact of international capital."

Tang Huan laughed and said: "Your concern is very reasonable, but this is the game between people. It is really difficult to get Germany to lower interest rates!"
