The Goddess Shines on America

The morning dew reveals the fragrance of green grass, and the blue sky is dotted with white clouds. When a beautiful girl looks at the tall buildings at the gate of the quaint campus, this scene will undoubtedly be remembered by many students for life.

The above is the literary version.

The real version is...

"Welcome to Eton College, ladies."

A handsome senior came to Alice's foursome, wearing a typical Eton tuxedo, that is, a black suit that seemed to return to the middle ages, and said politely: "My name is Conrad Grayson, and I am in charge of The president of the student council who welcomes this year's freshmen, please come with me."

Ashley took a step forward. At this moment, no one could see her exuberant vitality, but only the cheerful and beautiful sunshine girl: "Thank you, Grayson, Eton College has hundreds of years of history. It is a historic moment for the second batch of girls from the school to arrive at the school."

"Stop, stop," Alice patted Ashley, who was pretending to be a lady, "History will only remember the first place, and the second batch will be pawns in the future. Then Senior Grayson, please lead the way."

Conrad Grayson was very handsome. When he saw four girls coming to the school gate together, as a perfectly normal seventeen-year-old boy, he would instinctively think that he might be able to stand with them for a while at the gate. Chat for a while. But who knows, the four ladies are not comparable to ordinary girls. When the long-haired Asian girl spoke, the other three seemed to obey unconditionally, which really surprised him.

"No problem, please allow me to look at the list first."

Of course, the work must be carried out. While leading the four of them into the school gate, Conrad beckoned another student to continue guarding the gate, and he took out a list from the folder he carried with him.

"What are your names, please?"

"Alice-King."

"Sissy Lawrence."

"Ashlee O'Reil."

"Maiya-Akaman."

The names of the four girls flooded into Conrad's mind one after another, Wang, Lawrence and Akaman, he had never heard of it, but when Ashley's surname was heard, his feet wearing high-end leather shoes couldn't help but feel one pause.

"Oriel... Ashley, are you the granddaughter of Ms. Ivy-Oriel?"

Ashley moved a step away from him: "It seems that Grayson's family has some business dealings with us, your father is...?"

Conrad said very modestly: "It's nothing special, it's just a few days of investment business. But Ashley, you..."

"Wall Street's Grayson Company?"

Sissy suddenly interrupted: "I remember you guys, it seems that you were just established eight years ago, right? It just happened to develop due to the oil crisis. Your father is John Grayson?"

Conrad was really stunned. The world is so big, even if Eaton is a place where global elites gather, isn't the degree of this chance encounter a bit too powerful?

"Excuse me, is your father..."

"I said you guys,"

Just when Conrad was about to continue asking, Alice interrupted out of boredom: "Now is not the time for small talk, brother, if you don't tell us the house number of the dormitory, I can't help but grab the list myself. "

Conrad shook his eyebrows silently, but seeing that the other three girls had no intention of questioning, he had no choice but to hold back all kinds of curiosity in his heart: "Please follow me..."

Since the four belonged to three grades, Ashley and Maiya would naturally not live in the same dormitory as Alice and Sissy. Similarly, although the number of girls in Eaton is currently scarce, it does not give Conrad the right to walk into the girls' dormitory at will. Anyway, it was just a matter of two or three small buildings. After getting the location, he explained the specific distribution of the houses.

Of course, during this process, the handsome senior also chatted with the girls. Due to Alice's lack of interest, Maiya was even more silent, and the airs were naturally put on Ashley and Sissy. No way, who told them that one of them is from a famous Italian family, and the other's family is with this senior Grayson?

"So ladies, it's a pleasure to lead the way. I'll be speaking on behalf of the students at Commencement, and hopefully when we do..."

"Grayson \u0026 Co. of Wall Street, right?"

Still Alice, she easily interrupted Conrad's endless chatter: "What kind of investment business are you mainly engaged in?"

Along the way, Conrad really became more and more curious about this long-haired Asian girl. The name Alice Wang obviously does not correspond to any famous family. Although there is no need to doubt the wealth of students who can enter Eton, but compared to the famous Olaer family, and the daughter of Roger Lawrence, who is also a Wall Street investor, a rotten Asian with the surname Wang...

"Hey, I'm asking you something, kid!"

"Oil, as Miss Lawrence said just now."

Although I don't know why, the four girls obviously have this Alice as their backbone. If Conrad can't even see this, he, the student union president, can really wash up and go home to sleep.

Alice continued to ask: "So, what is your opinion on the recent international oil market?"

Conrad became more and more strange, and it seemed that he needed to check this new student carefully when he looked back: "Of course it is stable. As early as three years ago, OPEC reached an agreement on oil prices and production in London, and the enthusiasm of investors is overwhelming." Very high."

Alice nodded: "Then what do you think of the current political situation in the oil-producing countries?"

Curiosity made Conrad very interested in talking with Alice, not to mention the topic of oil issues, which he is good at, Dang Lie started talking endlessly: "The Middle East has always been a place full of disputes, so for oil investors Let’s say that every action of these countries is crucial. Let’s talk about the current Iran-Iraq War. Their wars have lasted from 80 years to the present. It won’t come down, but once the fire ceases, the price will definitely fall back temporarily, which is a great opportunity for us to make profits.”

As he said that, he looked at Sissy with great interest: "Miss Lawrence, I wonder if your father is interested in investing in oil. My father would be very interested in introducing you to some bullish stocks, such as BP's..."

"Here's some advice for you, buddy."

Alice chimed in again cheerfully: "The Iran-Iraq war is getting more and more intense now, and Kuwait has already been affected by it. It is estimated that the United Nations will intervene in a short time. By that time, it is uncertain what will happen to the oil market. You You are talking with great interest now, so don’t turn around and stumble.”

Conrad couldn't help the twitching of the corners of his eyes: "It seems that Ms. Wang is also very good at investing."

Of course.

Alice smiled silently.

She has a lot of spare money, of course, she has already thrown part of the funds into the oil market.

The long Iran-Iraq War began in 1980 and lasted for eight years. In 1986, the war situation became more intense and entered the so-called third period. Iran reversed its previous policy of fighting a war of attrition and strived for a quick victory.

In early February 1986, the Iranian side mobilized more than 90,000 troops and launched a large-scale offensive code-named "Dawn 8" to capture Fao, an important port city in southern Iraq. Echoing the battlefield on the ground, there was also an extremely fierce attack on ships between Iran and Iraq. By the end of the year, 106 ships had been attacked, including 28 ships entering and leaving Kuwait ports.

As a result, since the attack on ships affected the interests of non-belligerent countries, Kuwait successively proposed charter and escort requests to the five permanent members of the United Nations in November and December 1986. The Soviet Union and the United States successively agreed to escort the Kuwaiti oil tankers and continued to send warships to the Gulf for this reason, thus adding greater danger to the already tense situation in the Gulf.

Therefore, in order to avoid further escalation of the war, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 598 on July 20, 1987, demanding an immediate ceasefire between the two sides. However, after the resolution was passed, due to the long-standing grievances between Iran and Iran, they had different positions on the ceasefire issue, and the differences were large, so no one was willing to take the initiative to make concessions. As a result, this resolution was delayed in implementation and has been Ink blots didn't improve until 1988.

So it is conceivable that at such a moment when the situation is intensifying, the relevant oil prices will continue to soar, and it will continue until the ceasefire. For Petroleum Chaoshou, this is undoubtedly a heavenly period, and the only thing that affects personal performance is probably the pure unpredictability of the future.

"Then Miss Wang, since you think Kuwait will ask the United Nations for help, can you also guess what will happen afterwards?"

At this moment, not only Conrad, Sissy and the other three also looked at Alice with great interest.

To say, or not to say?

What should I say?

Alice hesitated.

If the truth is told, when the prophecy comes true, he can pretend to be successful.

If he told a lie, and Conrad's father believed him—not to mention whether it was possible, then he could successfully lure an investor, and he would feel a sense of accomplishment. But the price is that I may be hated to death by some people, and I will form a moderate hatred.

To say, or not to say?

this is a problem.

However, while Alice was still hesitating, a man who suddenly walked out of the woods interrupted the rhythm.

Evan DeLove had been stalking his schoolgirls for a long time, and he knew it was time for him to show up.
