"Lauren, you are so weak, you must not exercise often."

On the golf course, Duka joked while leaning on his club.

I haven’t seen him for a while. Lauren’s body is thicker and her face is a little fatter. She seems to be entering middle age from youth. She doesn’t have much energy when playing ball. The curve ball she hits is low and short. It looks very similar.

Kidney deficiency.

"Haha, okay, I'm a bit weak. I have a lot of social activities during this period and I don't have time to exercise."

Lauren Tynes took back his club and smiled.

"busy at work?"

Duca held the club and hit the ball lightly, then took the ball and sent it into the hole.

"Yes, after becoming the head of the investment department, the business in my hands has doubled. There are endless documents every day. I work both at work and after work. I suddenly miss the days when I was just your manager.

There weren’t many jobs at that time and I didn’t make much money either.”

Lauren Tynes shrugged and laughed.

Duca smiled. In the past two years, Lauren has been working smoothly at Morgan Bank.

The year before last, he was promoted from manager to senior account manager. Last year, he was promoted to deputy director of the account department. This year, he was transferred to the head of the Wall Street investment department. He is a middle- and senior-level cadre within Morgan.

When he was the supervisor, he was still the manager of Duka, because the account that managed Duka paid more dividends and there were very few things to do. It would be a pity to leave it to others.

"Yes, I also miss the past a little bit. At that time, I only had a few million, so I didn't have to think too much. Now that I have more money and I don't want it to depreciate, how to spend it reasonably has become a vexing problem."

"Hahaha, this is a happy trouble."

Lauren Tynes laughed a few times, then calmed down and said, "There is indeed a very good opportunity in the near future, do you know about the Quantum Fund?"

“George Soros’ private equity fund?”

"Yes, I have received some news that since February, Soros and his Quantum Fund have been systematically shorting the euro system.

It is said that for this operation, Quantum Fund has absorbed a large amount of loose capital in the capital market, estimated to be tens of billions of dollars. The movement is very big. Morgan Investment Bank has also been affected. Due to the extremely high risk, many people are on the sidelines.

Attitude, some people are ready to follow suit."

"Do you think there's a chance?"

Duca asked softly.

He also knew something about the pound crisis in 1992, and he thought about following it, but he was not familiar with the specific operations. He didn't know when to buy and when to sell. In this situation, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Now Lauren has taken the initiative and he wants to try it too.

"have!"

Lauren slowly talked about the reason.

On February 7 this year, the foreign ministers and finance ministers of twelve European Community countries signed the Maastricht Treaty, marking another step forward for the euro.

The Eurosystem is a huge challenge to the US dollar.

After World War II, the Americans established the Bretton Woods system, the oil settlement system, etc. Since then, they have established the hegemony of the U.S. dollar and continued to use the U.S. dollar to extract profits from other countries. The collapse of the Soviet Union was largely due to its failure in the oil settlement system.

The establishment and consolidation of the Euro system is undoubtedly challenging the hegemony of the US dollar, so both the Federal Reserve and American capital want to touch the euro and cause some damage.

The problems existing in the Eurozone itself have given international hot money great opportunities, such as the instability of the exchange rate linkage rules of European countries, the overestimation of the value of the pound, etc.

These problems are like cracks in an egg. The more unstable the economy becomes, the bigger these cracks will become.

This also gives the international hot money an opportunity to take action. Their purpose is to make the cracks wider so that they can eat meat and drink wine. It is best to disintegrate the Euro system, so as to ensure that the US dollar in everyone's hands will not depreciate.

Now this matter is not a big secret in the capital circle. With the hostile status of the US dollar and the Euro, it is only a matter of time before the two sides confront each other.

The only uncertainty is who wins and who loses this battle.

International hot capital, mainly quantum funds, only exceeds 10 billion, and the total amount of surrounding speculative capital does not exceed 100 billion US dollars.

The Euro monetary system is worth several trillions, and the major European national banks, led by the Bank of England, have extremely rich market experience and strong strength, and can withstand the challenge of international hot money.

So can the Quantum Fund pull chestnuts from the fire this time?

The key to this problem lies in the Euro system itself. If the economic development of European countries is stable in the next period of time and the currency exchange rates of various countries are normal, there will be no chance for international hot money to talk.

If there is a problem with the Eurozone exchange rate system in the future, the bigger the problem, the bigger the cracks in the eggshell, and the greater the chance of Quantum Fund winning.

And this problem becomes very simple when it comes to Duka.

He only needs to determine one thing, whether to win by betting on the stronger euro or the weaker Quantum Fund.

This problem is like betting big and small in gambling. If the bet is right, the winner will eat meat together, but if the bet is wrong, the loser will fall.

If he didn't know about the pound crisis, it would be difficult for him to make a decision, and he happened to know that the Quantum Fund won, the pound exited the Euro system, and Soros became a financial giant in the international exchange rate market, and he saw everyone unlucky.

"Lauren, if I hand over the funds to you, are you sure you can keep up with the pace of Quantum Fund?"

"Duka, this time the risk is very high, there is very little news, and the risk is greater than the oil speculation the year before. Are you sure you want to end it?"

Lauren Tynes asked with a solemn expression.

"Yes, if you win, the profit will be greater, right? So why not seize the opportunity and take a gamble."

Duca smiled and swung the club vigorously.

The small white ball was hit high into the air, flew more than ten meters and landed on the ground. It rolled forward for more than three meters and then, poof~, fell into the hole.

"Wow, eagle, Duca, this is a good omen, I feel like we can win."

Lauren Tynes smiled excitedly.

"Haha, I hope so."

After playing a game, the two initially finalized their cooperation.

Duca spent 60 million to participate in this plan to short the euro, and Lauren was responsible for the specific operations, relying on existing channels and connections to collect information and strive to maximize benefits.

If money is made, Lauren will receive 10% of the proceeds.

A few days after finalizing the speculation, Duca collected a lot of information on the exchange rate between pounds and marks and gave it to Lauren. In the Euro system, pounds and marks were the biggest and fattest, so it was best to keep an eye on these two battlefields.

Lauren agreed.

After handing over the capital account to Lauren, Duca temporarily put it aside.

Shorting the euro is not something that happens overnight. You need to wait for the opportunity and then pounce on it when the opportunity arises. Sometimes you have to wait for months or even years. You must be patient during this process.

"Honey, you finally have time to pet the cat."

In the afternoon, Monica drove back from outside and saw him playing with his cat on the grass, so she stopped the car and teased him with a smile.

"Yes, I'm done with my work for the time being. I can rest for a while."

Duca hugged the cat and smiled.

"I really don't know why you want to make so much money? We have enough money."

“Wouldn’t it be better to have more money?”

Duca smiled.

"No, if you have too much money, you won't have time to spend with me."

Monica sat down on the grass nearby and leaned on his shoulder.

Duka laughed, "No, making more money is to spend more time with you. Just now Gloria called and said that the new yacht has been shipped. How about we go to Hawaii for vacation before the yacht arrives?

"

"Okay, wait a minute, I can't do it these days. I haven't finished the movie work yet. How about going on vacation after I finish the work?"

Monica smiled.

"Humph, just now you said that I was too busy to spend time with you, and now it seems that you don't have time to spend with me."

"Haha~ Is there any?"

Monica blinked her thick eyelashes and smiled, "Okay, okay, I'm just busy lately. How about you help me deal with the company's affairs, and we can finish it early and go out to play early."

"Emm, if I do something for you, is there any reward?"

Duca smiled.

"have!"

Monica hugged his neck and kissed him on the face.

"How about it?"

"Okay, because of your sincerity, I will work for you temporarily."

Duka smiled, hugged her and fell to the grass.

——

In the next few days, he and Monica were busy at the film company.

Starting from the new year, two movies invested by the company, "Immoral Deal" and "The Age of Innocence", have been approved.

"Unethical Deal" is produced exclusively by LV Pictures with a budget of 28 million. The director chose British director Adrian Lane, whose representative works include "9 and a Half Weeks to Love You", "Fatal Attraction", etc., and has won the Oscar for the most.

Nominated for Best Film Director Award.

Adrian Lane is good at romance and ethics films, and "Immoral Deal" is also about this genre, so the production department accepted his recommendation.

There are three protagonists in this movie, the young couple David and Diana, and the elderly millionaire Gage.

After selection by the casting team, the elderly Gage chose veteran actor Robert Redford. He is 56 years old and is very famous in the industry. He has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor and also won the Oscar for Best Director.

His representative works include "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "The Liar" and "Ordinary People".

The reason for choosing him is that he looks elegant, not greasy, and unlike Jack Nicholson, who looks like an old bad guy at first glance.

The male lead David chose Brad Pitt, a newcomer who rose to prominence in "Thelma and Louise" last year. He is 29 years old, young and handsome, has good acting skills, and is cheap.

The original candidate for this role was Keanu Reeves, but the guy refused, saying he didn't like the plot of unethical dealings.

LV Pictures did not force it.

It took a lot of effort to choose the final heroine. Winona wanted to play the role at first. After playing several innocent roles, she wanted to change her acting style and play a sexy and mature role. The heroine of "Immoral Deal"

very suitable.

It was just that Martin Scorsese found her with "The Age of Innocence" and said that she was very suitable for the setting of the innocent rich girl Mei in the play, saying that this role was tailor-made for her.

Winona hesitated again and again, but could not withstand the deception of director Martin Scorsese, so she chose "The Age of Innocence". Since the two dramas started shooting almost at the same time, she could not play two roles at the same time, which was unprofessional.

Therefore, the heroine of "Unethical Deal" needed to be re-selected. In the end, Demi Moore was chosen after much selection. The reason is that she is famous enough. After "The Last Days" became a hit in 1990, she also

Her popularity exploded and she became one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry.

Last year, she published a nude photo of herself pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, which sparked controversy in the media for several months, making her even more famous than before.

In addition, she looks sexy and beautiful, is good at literary and romantic movies, and she is a controversial woman herself, which makes her the perfect choice to play this role.

Also because of her joining, the crew's budget increased from 18 million to 28 million US dollars.

After the director and starring roles were confirmed and the crew's funds were secured, the crew started filming in Las Vegas in early March.

Another movie, "The Age of Innocence," started project planning in March and cast the film in April.

This film is produced by Columbia TriStar Pictures with an investment of 20 million, and is jointly produced by LV Pictures with an investment of 14 million.

The male lead is played by Oscar winner Daniel Lewis. This man has superb acting skills and is from Ireland. He fits the role of the male protagonist in the play, so director Martin Scorsese chose him.

Winona plays one of the two heroines.

The other heroine is a mature, charming and sexy divorced young woman. She and the heroine Mei are like two opposite characters, one is innocent, the other is sexy and open.

LV Films recommends Sharon Stone, she is famous, sexy and has good acting skills.

Director Martin Scorsese agreed at first, but later he fell in love with Michelle Pfeiffer, one of the most popular actresses at the moment.

As an apology, director Martin Scorsese promised to give Sharon Stone the leading role in his next film.

Sharon Stone had no shortage of roles at the moment, so she agreed.

Casting is over and "The Age of Innocence" will start shooting in New York at the end of April.

The remaining two movies, "Escape from Las Vegas" and "Black and White," are also currently in preparation.

The male lead in both movies is Nicolas Cage, Sharon Stone got the female lead in "Escape from Las Vegas", and Samuel L. Jackson got the other male lead in "The Black Panther."

The two movies have a total budget of 45 million, but they are not shot at the same time, so LV Pictures is not under much pressure.

After finishing the movie, Dukara took Monica on the newly acquired three-story luxury yacht and visited the scenic spots along the Pacific coast. Finally, they docked in Hawaii, took a vacation on the island, and bought a vacation villa.

In mid-May, the two returned to Los Angeles after having fun.
