After the two-day market break over the weekend, in the new week, international hot money once again launched a larger impact on the pound.

In the face of the turbulent pound selling orders in the foreign exchange market, the British government barely supported the pound for two days on Monday and Tuesday, but had no choice but to give up protecting the pound exchange rate and was forced to announce the devaluation of the pound.

While giving up the protection of the exchange rate, the British government also officially announced its withdrawal from the European monetary system.

Anyone who knows a little about the international financial landscape understands that the reason why the United Kingdom, or the whole of Europe, suffered this disaster is, in the final analysis, the United States on the other side of the Atlantic in order to maintain the global hegemony of the dollar.

With the withdrawal of the pound from the European monetary system, the EC's attempt to use the system against the dollar has officially collapsed.

The media in various European countries have recently criticized the Quantum Fund led by Soros and other international hot money, and Soros has been 'notorious' for this. It's actually the US government.

Soros is just a 'early bird', a 'scapegoat'.

Of course, no matter whether he is a standout or a scapegoat, Soros who is pushed to the stage is not a loss.

After the pound gave up its resistance, the currencies of European countries such as Spanish pesetas and French francs were attacked to varying degrees, and the European monetary system basically existed in name only.

Throughout the confrontation process, the British government invested a total of 27 billion pounds to stabilize the exchange rate, and ultimately still lost. But at the same time, Soros alone has made a profit of US$1 billion in this attack on European currencies, and the total profit of other international hot money is even more incalculable.

Soros became famous in the first battle, and he was in the limelight for a while on Wall Street.

At the same time, the media soon noticed Cersei Capital, which had been silent during this attack on the European monetary system.

From the stock market crash in 1987, the subsequent Japanese stock market bubble, the collapse of the US bond market, etc., have been active in Cersei Capital. However, in this excellent arbitrage opportunity, Cersei Capital seems to be silent, which is obviously abnormal.

In the media's attention, the insider soon broke out.

The Wall Street Journal published a special feature article on September 26, and the title is also quite eye-catching: "Cersei Capital Magic No More".

The article starts with the European currency crisis that has just settled, and first touts the dazzling performance of the Quantum Fund in this crisis. Then the conversation changed and the 'inside story' began to be exposed.

The article describes that just a week ago, three top fund managers of Cersei Fund Management Company under Cersei Capital suddenly resigned, and they also took away a hedge fund team of more than ten people. This group turned down the solicitation of other Wall Street counterparts, quickly formed a new hedge fund, and began to raise funds externally.

As one of the most confidential companies on Wall Street, Cersei Capital has always disclosed very little information.

This time, reporters from The Wall Street Journal were keenly aware of something, and after some twists and turns, they finally got the opportunity to interview three fund managers who have left Cersei Capital.

The reason for the departure of the three managers is the European currency crisis that has just passed.

It turned out that one of the three managers had predicted the possibility of a European currency crisis a year ago, and made a return to the top management of Cersei Capital, hoping to make arrangements in advance.

The highest level of Cersei's capital is naturally the Westeros couple.

However, unlike in the past, this time, the Westeros made a misjudgment, believing that the pound, which has been strong for hundreds of years, cannot be devalued, nor can it be shaken by the strength of one or several hedge funds. the entire European Community. Therefore, sniping at the European currency is completely whimsical.

In the following year, the signs of imbalances in the European monetary system became more and more obvious, especially after other Wall Street hedge funds began to deploy, the three fund managers submitted reports to the Westeros and his wife more than once, in the hope of correcting Layout this.

The results were rejected.

In the end, Cersei Capital can only watch Quantum Fund and other Wall Street capital make a lot of money in the turmoil of the European monetary system, but can't do anything by itself.

Frustrated with the Westeros' growing dominance, the three managers eventually decided to leave to go it alone.

What a sad story.

The rapidly rising Wall Street genius is rapidly declining. Is there anything more "sighing" than this kind of thing?

After the "Wall Street Journal" article was published, numerous media calls to Cersei Capital and even the core of the Westeros system, and the response was a cold "no comment".

This further proves that Cersei Capital is very secretive about this decision-making error.

Although Simon Westeros came out on top with a net worth of $65 billion on the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in the United States released at the beginning of the month, such a low-level mistake is likely to mean that the Westeros system is losing the fortitude of the previous years. Enterprising.

Of course, it is not without media doubts.

Unlike hedge capital such as Quantum Fund, Cersei Capital is behind the entire Westeros system. Within this business empire, the rapidly expanding Melisandre and Nokia companies are based in Europe. Many businesses within the Westeros system also have substantial operations in Europe.

If Cersei Capital attacks the European currency together with the Quantum Fund this time, then the Europeans may not be able to take the pure hedge fund bigwigs such as Soros,

But it's too easy to watch the Westeros system.

So the fact that the Westeros did not agree to take part in this attack on European currencies was probably not a decision blunder.

However, this argument was quickly refuted.

Three years ago, Cersei Capital did not give up its operations in the Japanese market, and Simon Westeros was almost "refused to enter" by the Japanese government. But now, the cooperation between the Westeros system and Japanese companies has not been affected.

If this is the case in Japan, it should be the same in Europe.

If the opportunity can be seen in advance, Simon Westeros has no reason to give up this excellent arbitrage opportunity.

You must know that if it operates properly, Cersei Fund Management can easily double the return equal to the size of the fund this time, with billions of dollars in profit in sight, and it is impossible for anyone to resist this temptation.

After so much discussion, most of the media still tend to believe that this was a major mistake by the Westeros.

Many newspaper and magazine readers also prefer to see stories about the envy and envy of the "miracle" suddenly no longer magical, sad and happy.

For the Westeros system, it is enough to send a message to the outside world that Cersei Capital is not involved in this currency speculation. As for the media's 'fantasy' about Cersei Capital and even the entire Westeros system declining, it can also alleviate the emotions of all parties towards the Westeros system and Simon personally to a large extent.

The $65 billion net worth announced by Forbes magazine in early September, although many people admired and admired, also attracted many arguments that the expansion of the Westeros system should be limited.

There are only three fund managers who have left. The reason for the other party's departure is indeed that Cersei Capital missed this European currency speculation, but of course, it is not out of disappointment with the Simon and his wife as publicly disclosed.

The three of them are very clear about why the Simon and his wife did this, and also understand that if there is such an opportunity in the future, for the interests of the entire Westeros system, Cersei Capital can still only miss it. People finally chose to leave in order to get rid of this bondage.

Although they resigned, the three managers still have a good relationship with Cersei Capital, and they also actively cooperated to stage a "sorrowful scene" in the media.

In order to avoid being seen through, Cersei Capital did not invest in the new fund established by the three, but through its own network of contacts, it quickly attracted more than $500 million in capital for the other party.

Of course, these insider information must be kept strictly confidential.

On Daenerys Entertainment's side, "Desperate Housewives" has 7.36 million viewers in the first week. Due to its good reputation and high topicality, the second episode's viewership data has climbed again, with an average viewership of 8.39 million. Added 1 million views. The ratings for the core 18- to 49-year-old audience also climbed to 4.6.

The usa team predicts that before the winter break, with the further expansion of the TV network's base audience and the continued rise in popularity of "Desperate Housewives", the show's average viewership is expected to exceed the 10 million mark.

For a cable TV network, if the average viewing awareness of a TV program can reach 5 million, it has already been the pillar of viewership, and it has exceeded 10 million. It can be said to be a viewing miracle.

In the original time and space, many years later, the amc TV network rose rapidly with a "Walking Dead" with an audience of about 10 million.

Today's cable television industry is very different from more than ten years later, but the usa TV network at this time and the amc TV network later have many similarities. The usa TV network is facing the strong pressure of the traditional public TV network, and the amc needs to deal with many competitors in the same industry.

Of course, the difference is that with the rise of streaming media in the cable TV industry more than ten years later, the industry scale has reached the ceiling, and it is impossible to go further.

The cable television industry in the early 1990s was still booming.

Although it is a dedicated women's TV network, as long as it operates carefully and reasonably, the usa TV network still has a lot of room for development.

After the success of "Desperate Housewives", the usa team has begun to consider opening up more refined sub-channels, including plans for young women under the age of 18, or urban elite white-collar workers with strong spending power.

Considering that half of the usa TV network is owned by Paramount Communications, Simon did not agree to the request of usa executives to start further layout.

The original timeline, Viacom Group will launch the acquisition of Paramount Communications next year.

However, this time, after an internal assessment by Daenerys Entertainment, the current Viacom Group does not have enough strength to complete the acquisition of Paramount Communications.

The key is Blockbuster.

Viacom in the original time and space is one of the important shareholders of Blockbuster. As a video tape chain company, like many retail companies, Blockbuster has a huge cash flow of billions of dollars that can be used at any time. Therefore, in order to make up for the shortage of funds for the acquisition of Paramount Communications, Redstone first completely annexed Blockbuster at a nearly doubled premium of US$8 billion in the form of share-swap mergers and acquisitions. With cash backing, using cash plus stock, successfully won Paramount Communications.

However, now in Blockbuster, Daenerys Entertainment is the largest shareholder with 35% of the shares, and Viacom does not have a stake in this company.

Not only that, Blockbuster's current market value has reached 6.3 billion US dollars, even if Viacom still wants to

To acquire, Daenerys Entertainment and other shareholders agreed to acquire it again, lacking the advantages of its own shareholders, and Blockbuster's share price was obviously high, let alone double the premium, even if it was only a 50% premium, Viacom would not pay rise.

Because of this, Redstone's control over Viacom will be shaken after the stock swap.

The economic downturn has not yet passed. In recent years, it has been very difficult to finance mergers and acquisitions. Without the huge cash support of Blockbuster, Viacom wants to acquire Paramount and can only exchange shares. Paramount Communications is bigger than Viacom and can't get any real benefits. It is impossible for Paramount shareholders to give up control and sell the company just to get another stock with an uncertain future.

However, while Paramount Communications is unlikely to be acquired by Viacom again, there is not a lot of capital coveting the company.

Simon can be sure that Paramount Communications will change hands over the next few years.

And the buyer is likely to remain overseas capital.

The US TV industry's restrictions on overseas capital have not been lifted. Once this is the case, Daenerys Entertainment can also acquire all the shares of the usa TV network after the acquisition of Paramount Communications.

Of course, these are all later stories.

September and October is the time when the four major fashion weeks are held every year.

This year's Milan Fashion Week is nine days from September 21 to September 29.

The summer season is still over, and the autumn season has also started smoothly. Just in time for the fashion week, Simon and Janet flew to Europe together. On the one hand, they were on vacation, and on the other hand, there were a lot of things that Simon had to deal with.

Gucci's catwalk is scheduled for September 23.

The couple first flew to Helsinki, Finland.

The trend of gsm digital communication has been fully opened, and countries around the world have begun to deploy the second generation of digital communication technology. Nokia is not only the first to invest in the development of gsm technology, but also the first company among major European manufacturers to launch digital mobile phones in gsm format.

In order to win over countries in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries also opened their markets to these countries, which also laid the foundation for Nokia's rapid expansion in Europe.
