Zhu Momo picked up the communicator in the flower hall and asked the maids to bring some tea and snacks. Listening to the surrounding discussions, she smiled and said: "You guys chat, someone will bring tea later, I will go say hello to my aunt .”
Although the girls wanted to continue to follow and take a look at the two-story study building in the inner courtyard separated by the flower hall, seeing what Zhu Momo said, they had to stay here.
Zhu Momo left the flower hall and walked to the study building not far away. After entering the door, he looked around and saw that there was no one, so he went straight to the stairs.
When I came to the second floor, I saw my aunt Mo Wuling sitting at the large desk by the window. The desk was covered with a pile of materials, and she was reading with her head down.
Zhu Momo just walked over to give his aunt a 'surprise' with light steps, but Mo Wuling didn't raise his head, and said, "Bring so many girls here, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Momo felt a tone similar to her mother's when she spoke. She stuck out her tongue a little guiltyly, walked over carefully, and looked at the materials on the desk, a little surprised.This time it was not a variety of film and television professional books, but materials about finance and economics, and some newspaper clippings.
Zhu Momo picked up one of them and glanced at the traditional title above: The Thai government announced that it would abandon the Thai baht, and the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar fell by 19% in a single day.
this……
Well, what's the situation?
Thinking in her heart, Zhu Momo asked, "Auntie, what do you do with these?"
Seeing his niece asking, Mo Wuling, who was somewhat dissatisfied with the girl bringing a group of classmates back just now, turned his gaze to the document in front of him again, concealed some flickering in his eyes, still maintained a certain momentum, and said confidently: "Today's Thai baht It's broken, you didn't pay attention to such a big thing?"
Zhu Momo can only shrink his neck again.
This is all messed up. If you want to talk about attention, it should be a man far away in the United States who pays attention. She is just a woman he raises in the deep courtyard. Pay attention to what clothes you wear today, or what you eat at night. That's right.
Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Momo said it directly.
But I don't know, these words made Mo Wuling next to me inexplicably more embarrassed, so he could only chase away: "Okay, go and accompany your classmate. Don't bother me here."
Seeing my aunt talking about 'serious business', Mo Wuling hugged her again with a smile: "Auntie, why don't you go down and say hello to everyone?"
"I'm not familiar with what I'm going to do."
"Then, when I eat later, I'll call you again?"
"I'll go next door and eat by myself."
Zhu Momo didn't understand why her aunt had an inexplicable bad temper, but, thinking about it again, women probably have such a few days every month, so they didn't investigate further, so they could only go downstairs again.
Then, even though it was not my turn to worry about a woman, I still couldn't help but think of the news headlines I just read.
The Thai government abandons the baht exchange rate guard.
Ok……
This seems to be related to short selling, hedging, quantum funds, etc. After all, she has read some newspapers on weekdays, and this incident has been quite lively recently.
It's just that I didn't think about it deeper.
I don't even know if this matter will be related to the man who is far away in the United States.
Forget it.
It's better to have fun tonight.
When Zhu Momo regarded the abandonment of the baht as an episode in his life, he didn't know that today, the financial markets in Southeast Asia were in turmoil.
Even though Soros's attacks on the British pound and the Mexican peso were successful in the previous years, this time, it is obviously different.
At the beginning, the British government only made some concessions to the exchange rate of the British pound, which was far from giving up. As for the Mexican peso, because it is close to North America, even the US government does not want its neighbors to fall into turmoil due to the collapse of the currency, so it also has reservations. .
This time, it was completely relentless.
Since May, international currency speculators headed by Soros have launched successive rounds of attacks on the Thai baht. In the face of the continuous selling pressure of the Thai baht currency in the international currency market, it was finally unable to use foreign exchange to undertake it.
Finally, at noon today, the Thai government held a press conference, announcing that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system of the Thai baht pegged to the US dollar, and allow the Thai baht to float freely.
Apparently due to the influence of a super butterfly with increasing influence, compared with the previous July 7, this time, the time for the Thai baht to abandon defense was 2 days earlier.On the other hand, the choice of June 5 to give up the guard of the fixed exchange rate probably has some careful considerations from Thailand.
Today is Friday.
On the following Saturday and Sunday, most financial markets will stop trading, which can be regarded as a buffer for the Thai government to save itself.
Chapter 1141 Bypassing Hong Kong?
It feels like a dream, a group of classmates turned into rich ladies in the Grand View Garden, the kind who don’t have to be bound by etiquette, and enjoy life to the fullest under the service of a group of servants.
Dreams will eventually pass.
Saturday morning.
Last night, Zeng Damei, who was relatively restrained, opened her eyes. The first thing she felt was the soft jade around her. She was next to two classmates on the left and right, and she had one leg on Mu Xiaowei's waist next to her. She was very unimpressive. kind of.
I moved my body and lay flat, stared at the ceiling for a while, my thoughts turned and turned, and finally only one thought came to me.
Going on a diet these days.
Last night's dinner, food and wine like flowing water, whether it is the two-foot long lobster that is still memorable when I think about it now, or the cabbage tofu with simple ingredients but different flavors, and even the expensive red wine that they have only heard the name before, even the girls in class 96 The family background is the best in China, and I haven't tasted a few since I grew up.
I don't even dare to count how much I ate for a meal.
Even if she felt that Zhu Momo had other purposes in inviting everyone to the dinner this time, she still couldn't refuse, so eat first and then talk.
It is inevitable to eat too much.
After the meal, Zhu Momo suggested that everyone swim to digest food, and took everyone to the other courtyard on the east side of the garden. Unexpectedly, this side also belonged to the owner of the mansion. Compared with the main house on the west side, the four-entry courtyard was just a For recreation and rest, a basement floor was opened up, and an exaggerated swimming pool the size of a basketball court was dug out.
Even if the girls don't have much experience, the moment they see the underground swimming pool, they can feel quite deeply what it means to be extremely rich.
Swimming is the most enjoyable in summer night.
Unknowingly frolicking until late at night, then ran to the private screening room on the basement floor, watched a movie until after midnight, and as a matter of course, went to sleep here.
If it is a dormitory, let alone three people squeeze a big bed, it will be very hot if there is a little distance between people.And last night was definitely the most comfortable night for the girls in class 96 to sleep after the summer.
Not just because of the air conditioner.
Even if it's just the guest room in the east courtyard, the big soft bed, the comfortable bedding, and even the air in the room are much fresher than the outside. It's not an illusion, but an obvious sense of freshness.
For more than a moment, not to mention the other girls, even Zeng Dameiren, who is recognized as the most tempered in the class, will inevitably have some thoughts about how wonderful it would be to live here forever.
It's getting late.
Feeling Zeng Damei's movements, the two women next to her also woke up quickly, but their movements were uniformly switched to lying on their backs, and they looked at the ceiling together, with ambition, confusion, expectations in their eyes, and even... a little fear .
Fear can no longer touch such a life.
Fear of the price you might pay if you want this kind of life.
