Chapter 333 (1/2)
Unlike sunny Los Angeles and drizzly Seattle, New York is still in the coldest season of the year.
The weather is short in winter.
Simon arrived on the east coast, arrived at his Fifth Avenue apartment from Kennedy Airport, and it was already dark.
Janet is not the only one in the apartment. Sophia fishy came from Europe yesterday.
Simon is still working, but Janet and many people around her are busy preparing for the wedding in early March.
The wedding has been confirmed to be held in Melbourne, and the guest list has been initially finalized. Johnston's family has specially prepared several charter flights for this purpose.
Sophia came to New York this time for the wedding dress. Gucci's design team started to design the wedding dress scheme after Simon and Janet's wedding date was confirmed. The housekeeper specially came to discuss some production details with Janet face to face this time.
Last night, Janet dragged him to discuss the wedding dress style. Until early in the morning, Simon still woke up early the next day.
I groped for my watch and looked at it. It's still 6:50 a.m. on the east coast.
The woman in her arms noticed Simon's action, rubbed and rubbed around him more tightly, opened her mouth in her sleep, bit him on the shoulder, and there was no movement again.
Feeling Janet's obsession, Simon gave up the idea of getting up and closed his eyes again.
Winter is really a good time to be lazy.
I woke up again, almost nine o'clock in the morning, and Janet was no longer around.
After Simon dressed and washed, he opened the curtains in his bedroom. The bleak Central Park was full of the season's unique soft sunshine, pale and powerless, and seemed to be struggling.
It's sunny, at least.
Downstairs, Janet and Sophia are just getting ready for breakfast. When they see Simon, Janet comes up and kisses the man and says, ”I'm just saying I'm going to wake you up.”
Simon hugged the woman to say good morning, and then said hello to Sophia. He came to the table and sat down.
Sophia brought breakfast and put some today's newspapers in Simon's hand. Then she sat down and talked about Gucci during the meal. The fashion week in February is coming soon. The housekeeper is not at leisure. She will return to Europe tomorrow.
After breakfast, Sophia rushes to Gucci's headquarters in the United States. Simon and Janet have no work arrangements today. They are as tired as Maodong and enjoy their world in the apartment.
“…… I've already asked people to prepare. On that day, in Yarra Valley Park, a maze will be built around our wedding site with flower walls. All kinds of flowers must be very beautiful... ”
In a living room on the second floor of the duplex apartment, Janet holds a thick folder full of all kinds of wedding planning materials and says to Simon.
Looking at the woman's red face when talking about this, Simon said with a smile: ”don't women have premarital phobia? You don't seem to react at all
Janet sidled to Simon intimately and said, ”only women who doubt whether they have met the right man will have premarital phobia. I don't have it.”
Simon smelled the words and gave a kiss on Janet's smooth face. He still had some ideas and put his hand around the woman.
Janet naturally began to respond.
The two entangled for a moment, and soon turned into a picture that was not suitable for children.
After a whole day in the apartment, Sophia didn't come back to disturb them at night. The next day was Monday, and she had to continue to work.
On Saturday morning, Sheila ward told Simon that Saddam Hussein's speech at the meeting of the member states of the Arab Cooperation Committee was not clear. Therefore, the cersei capital team in New York started to layout the oil futures market in advance according to this news and recent trends in European and American countries.
With the hedge fund industry booming in the past two years, cersei capital is not the only one staring at the oil futures market.
However, for Saddam's statement, many hedge funds believe that international oil prices should start to rise in the next period of time, while cersei capital is betting on the decline of oil prices.
In Simon's memory, because of Saddam Hussein's ”non cooperation” attitude with the West since last year, and the fact that the Bush family is in charge of the United States, which has close ties with various oil giants, the European and American oil groups finally decided to take action against Iraq.
The first step, however, is not war, but against Iraq's increasingly vulnerable domestic economy after a decade of Iran Iraq war.
Iraq's economy is deeply dependent on oil. The best way to hit the country's economy is to drive down international oil prices.
Therefore, countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which have close ties with European and American oil groups, will adopt the form of substantial increase in production to lower international oil prices in the next few months, which is also the most direct reason for Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
In the original time and space, just a few months before the Kuwait war, the international crude oil price plummeted from US $19 at the beginning of 1990 to US $13, a drop of more than 30%.
After the outbreak of the Kuwait war, the international crude oil price jumped directly from the bottom of $13 to a high of $40, with an increase of more than 200%.Then, the Gulf War broke out. When most crude oil speculators thought that the international crude oil price would continue to rise, the war ended quickly with a speed of destruction. The international oil price soon fell to less than $20, which even the European and American countries that launched the war did not expect.
For more than half a year, the continuous rise and fall of international crude oil price has also made countless investors engaged in crude oil futures trading suddenly rich or bankrupt.
It can be said that if Simon didn't have the advantage of the prophet of rebirth, even if he could roughly predict the next situation, he would not dare to lay too heavy a stake in such turbulence.
Otherwise, it may only need a wrong judgment, and the original huge profits may turn into losses.
Just like the quantum fund in the original time and space, Soros was invincible in the Asian market, but because he misjudged the economic situation of Russia, he lost more than $3 billion in the next year.
What's more, cersei capital's acceptance of capital from North America is to minimize the occurrence of human variables, and at the same time, it can obtain some useful inside information through this kind of interest exchange.
Simon stayed in New York until Wednesday.
