The leisurely life of rebirth

"Japan is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It has been fattened. The knife in Uncle Sam's hand can cut it however he wants." Fang Monan described it.

There are always only interests between countries. When their own interests are threatened, they can kill without hesitation.

"What's ridiculous is that Japan still wants to buy the United States, but the Japanese are proud of this sentence. Many companies in Japan are working day and night to buy the United States for Japan." Yang Fan said with a smile.

"Yes! It's like a child holding gold in his hand without any ability to protect it. He can only watch it being snatched away by others." Fang Monan said with emotion.

"It is difficult to grasp the timing. If it is too early, you will lose money; if it is too late, you will not be able to catch up." Cheng Shigui continued: "If we know this time, we can make a specific plan and use a series of techniques to operate, and finally get the maximum profit.

.If we cannot know, then we can only fight an ambush, and the longer this ambush lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to us."[

Fang Monan said: "At the specific time, the U.S. government and other countries will force Japan to formally sign the agreement on September 22. It is estimated that Japan's major chaebols will not be fully prepared. We can use this place to fight a war

A perfect economic war, I hope everyone will work hard."

"That would be much easier to handle." Yang Fan calculated carefully, "Wow... the end of this battle will cost at least ten times. If you do a good job, the profit of twenty times will not be a problem. This can save ten years of struggle.

"

"With so much money, do you still want to continue to enter the real industry?" Yang Fan asked.

"We have now collected information about some companies in Japan, mainly focusing on high-tech, heavy industry groups, banks and real estate companies that own large areas of land in Tokyo. In order to avoid chaos after the acquisition is successful, we have started to train a group of people within us.

A batch of middle-level administrators. After large-scale expansion, they will soon face the problem of insufficient management. Of course, confidentiality work has been done enough, and the news will not be leaked," Cheng Shigui said.

"Without industry, you are just a piece of fat, a piece of shit. Without industry, you are nothing. In the United States, when financiers are kidnapped, no one will say anything, but if you dare to kidnap business owners, you can't think about it anymore.

Because the business owner has hired a large number of workers. If he dies, the workers will be unemployed." Fang Monan nodded, "It is better to enter the real economy. However, pure money is of no use at all.

It’s just numbers. No matter how much money you have, if it depreciates, it will be like waste paper.” She then added: “You can also enter the energy field, iron ore, oil, copper, etc. If you can’t buy mineral deposits, you can also buy stocks.”

"Okay, now that everything is ready, we just have to wait for Uncle Sam's starting gun to sound." Fang Monan stood up and said to the two of them: "If you have some change, you can also play and earn some pocket money." She said to them.

He walked to the kitchen and said, "Then I'm going to cook." It was already dark outside, and the lights of thousands of houses were lit one after another.

"Ah! The boss cooks the food himself. He really misses us." Yang Fan has been completely conquered since eating Fang Monan's food at the farm, especially when it is difficult to eat authentic Chinese food abroad.

"Whatever you order today!" Fang Monan looked at him with a greedy look on his face and continued to serve.

"Wow...I want to eat braised pork, boiled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stuffed prawns, tomato beef brisket, hot and sour potato shreds, Kung Pao chicken. Finally, a bowl of fried noodles."

"It's so much, you're not afraid to hold it." Fang Monan smiled and said: "They are all home-cooked dishes. Do you have all the ingredients here?"

"It's complete, all the materials are in the refrigerator." Yang Fan walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, which was full.

Fang Monan quickly prepared a table of delicious food.

"The taste is very authentic, and some of the seasonings don't seem to be produced in Japan." Cheng Shigui said after tasting it.

"Oh! I brought the seasonings from China. Mobei is not used to Western food, so I cooked it for them." Fang Monan said, in order to ensure that Mobei could eat well during the competition, she had to make enough food and clothing herself. As for the cooking

Leonard provided a place to eat, and now he didn't hide it. The musical family didn't have any real estate in a world-famous city, which saved them money for staying in a hotel.

The autumn wind suddenly picked up outside, bringing with it chills, but inside the house was full of joy and food, and my mouth was full of oil.

Fang Monan and the others had done enough homework before, so they made a huge profit from it this time. Yang Fan was nervous and busy in the company.

On September 22nd, the weather was fine and the autumn air was crisp. Fang Monan and Cheng Shigui were fishing leisurely on a shore in Tokyo Bay. At that time, there was no Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge. The bridge was built in 1987 and was built in 1993.

Completed and opened to traffic.

Fang Monan and Cheng Shigui each got on a pony, sat on it holding fishing rods, and looked at the blue waves of the bay in the distance. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, they came to the quiet seaside, holding their breath and casting hooks to fish, while breathing.

Refreshing fresh air.

While admiring the beautiful scenery of green mountains, green waters, white clouds and blue sky, fish are caught from time to time, which makes people feel very comfortable.[

"Nannan, you are so leisurely and happy, as stable as Mount Tai." Cheng Shigui looked at the calm child beside him. "You do like the things that old people play with."

"Fishing does not discriminate between young and old. Keep your mind calm, cultivate your moral character, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity." It is destined to be a history. If you still can't make money, Fang Monan should just get stuck. "With such beautiful scenery, isn't it good here?" "Whoosh"

"As soon as she lifted the fishing rod, a small fish was swung to the shore. She took it out, weighing about a kilogram, and threw it into the bucket. After setting the bait, she made a beautiful gesture and submerged the hook into the sea.

Fishing is a combination of patience and confidence. When fishing, you should concentrate on catching fish, be calm and serious, and wait calmly for the fish to catch. Fishing can overcome the habit of impatience and frivolity, cultivate a steady and witty character, and develop stability.

Reserved personality. After rebirth, Monan fell in love with this kind of 'entertainment'. For this reason, she built a small reservoir on the farm, which not only solved the problem of irrigation, but also provided a good place to relax. The fish in it were all released from the space.

, like a clever ghost, so far, no outsider has caught it.

Cheng Shigui was very angry. After sitting for a long time, he didn't catch a single fish. Looking at the calm little man next to him, his heart slowly calmed down.

As the breeze blew, the news of the signing of the agreement by the five countries came from the car radio, which opened the prelude to the rapid appreciation of the yen. The sweet voice of the announcer announced the beginning of the nightmare.

On September 22, 1985, the newly appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary James Becker and the finance ministers of West Germany, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom held a secret meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York. The finance ministers of the five countries decided to agree to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar and jointly signed the

The so-called agreement states that it is recommended to further strengthen cooperation with each other so as to reasonably increase the value of non-USD currencies. After signing the agreement, the five governments began to sell US dollars significantly.

After hearing this, Cheng Shigui said, "Nannan, we have opened a full position to long the yen, and the leverage has been adjusted to the maximum. Now it has reached the edge. If the yen has a big reaction, we will lose everything. And we are so

The amount of money raised is 600 billion dollars converted into U.S. dollars."

"Believe me, we will win." Fang Monan said calmly and continued fishing leisurely. "Let's go! Go home and make a delicious meal to reward our heroes." She put away the fishing rod and picked up the small bag.

Bucket and walked to the car.

From Cheng Shigui's perspective, she was chatting and laughing about the upcoming fierce battle, speaking freely, as if she had everything under control, and acted calmly, as if eating was the most important thing.

Fang Monan once again used facts to prove that her prediction was accurate. This time, Cheng Shigui and the others were very speechless, because people could not imagine what words to use to describe her. Maybe 'monster' would be more appropriate to describe her. On the first day of the official signing

On the next day, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen immediately fell by 43%. This was a huge victory for them, because after this day, their funds changed from 3 billion U.S. dollars to more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, which was their net capital.

Earning nearly 20 billion US dollars, for these traders, such a perverted way of making money is really unprecedented.

However, there is also an element of miscalculation on their part, that is, the U.S. dollar has depreciated around the world. However, as soon as they withdrew the funds, the market reacted immediately. A large number of funds followed and were cashed out. It is said that many Japanese banks do not store so many U.S. dollars.

Of course, in the end, Fang Monan only exchanged three billion US dollars to supplement the funds borrowed by the original company, and the large sum of funds was all converted into Japanese yen and remained unchanged.

Fang Monan and the three of them were sitting at the dinner table. She put down her bowls and chopsticks and said: "We already have the money, follow your plan, and have fun this time."

Of the three billion U.S. dollars converted into U.S. dollars and the eight billion U.S. dollars still remaining in the foreign exchange market, the total funds converted into Japanese yen now totaled three trillion yen. This time, before everyone could react, the large amount of money was consolidated.

Zero, enter the Japanese real estate market and stock market. You must know that there was a major financial crisis in Japan in the early 1990s, and Japan's real estate market and stock market must be very prosperous recently.

"Well! Look! Our targets this time are a medium-sized bank and some real estate companies. We have already obtained the statements of these companies before. We believe that Japanese real estate will definitely become popular." Cheng Shigui said.

Fang Monan nodded, "I don't care about the specific matters, you can figure it out. Calculate the time and the Mobei competition is over. It's time for me to return to China."

"You can't leave us, there are still many things left to do!" Yang Fan shouted. In fact, he was reluctant to part with Chinese food.

"I'm still a kid, going home to school." Fang Monan shrugged innocently.

"As far as I know, school should have started in mainland China now," Cheng Shigui said.

"So I asked for leave and now I have to go home."

Cheng Shigui and Yang Fan looked at her in silence and disappeared around the corner of the stairs. They cursed, "Are there any children as evil as you?"

Fang Monan was sitting on the plane. His trip to Japan was very successful, more than twenty times more crazy. The happiest thing was that Mo Bei finally won the first place. "Why are you not happy? I won the first place." She looked at it.

You should not look at Mobei's dejected look!

"Ludwig Olivier didn't participate. This ranking makes me feel a little unsatisfied." Fang Mobei said with a small mouth.

"No matter what, this is our first No. 1 in Mobei, so be happy." Fang Monan said. "It's worth remembering."[

Mobei's depression went away as quickly as it came, and he recovered quickly. Fang Monan saw that she was fine and continued to look at the things in his hands.

psychology.

******************

When I got home, I always felt that something was missing? By the way, "Mom, where's dad! He won't come for lunch, won't he come for dinner?" Fang Monan said as he put the food on the table.

"Your dad! He eats with the visiting groups every day. He eats at home less and less." My mother frowned and said, "Fortunately, he remembered not to drink. The slogan about allergies has been shouted out, but who is it?"

You can’t force it. The food outside is not as delicious as the one at home. In short, he can’t hide even if he wants to.”

My mother continued nagging: "Tell me, what is there to see about these greenhouse vegetables and livestock breeding? Now they are coming in batches, and the county has to entertain them with good wine and food. I really don't know what they are trying to do.

?”

"Fortunately, our farm is branded as a Hong Kong company, so no one dares to offend us." Grandma said, "Otherwise, we will be ruined."

"This is a big restaurant!" Fang Monan said. Once the Chinese set an example, a large number of people will come to visit and study. Like, the No. 1 village in the world, the No. 1 village in the world, must have received many such visiting groups.

.It’s hard to say whether there are any economic benefits, but the food and drinks must be provided by the local government. “It’s difficult to block public funds for food and drinks.”

Eating and drinking with public funds has been a problem since ancient times. It has always been a "chronic disease" that has not been cured for a long time in ancient official circles. Without corruption and bribery, officials can eat and drink. In later generations, it will be easy to eat 300 billion a year.

loose.

"Now they don't want to eat big money." Dad was talking as he entered the house, washed his face and hands behind the door, and sat down. "Eat and drink with public funds, this word sounds appropriate."

"The shortcomings of the system have led to the formation of a deformed relationship between superiors and subordinates. Who wants to drink and eat meat every day, drinking bad party style and bad stomach. But if the superiors don't receive them when they come, and if they don't receive them well, their future is in doubt.

, Not to mention for your own sake, if you don’t serve your superiors well, even if you want to apply for some money for the people, you won’t be approved.” Mr. Lin said helplessly. “Why does Secretary Wang have a way?”

"Secretary Wang said that in the future, all groups that come to visit will pay 2 yuan per person, and you will have to pay for the excess. Otherwise, don't come, because I won't be able to serve you anymore." Dad said with a smile. Now there is no need to drink and eat.

He saw the visiting groups passing by like locusts at the dinner table, and he felt really sorry for the wasted money, which was raised by farmers with every drop of sweat.

"Yeah! This is a good idea." Mr. Lin said, this boy from the Wang family is quite tough.

"This is not new. The United States has always been like this. Their reception with public funds is very simple. The authority is only 10 US dollars per person. If it exceeds this standard, it must be approved, or the receptionist must pay out of his own pocket. The official or department receiving the reception does not have the funds for reception.

, there is no "small treasury", it is the real "Qingshui Yamen"." Fang Monan said.

Fang Monan continued to say in an old tone: "Actually, it's not that Americans are doing well, but that we are doing too poorly. Even if we were poor a few years ago, our leaders would eat and drink a lot. Not to mention that they are a little richer now, and it is reflected in the food and drink.

Laws and regulations are the bottom line for social operation, but they are not the root cause of the problem. The reason why the United Nations has been corrupted for 30 years is not that these officials do not want it, but that the system restricts it, so start from the beginning; in Europe, government officials make a clear distinction between public and private matters when it comes to eating and drinking.

The government has strict supervision on this, and the media also keeps a close eye on public funds; in Japan, people voluntarily established the 'National Civil Rights Spokesperson Liaison Conference' to supervise government actions and check how taxpayers' money is used."

She then sarcastically said: "So, eating and drinking with public funds is only such a serious problem here. It's not that capitalists are too harsh on employees, but that the welfare of the "bourgeoisie" is too good, haha..."

"Secretary Wang is not afraid of retaliation from his superiors," my mother asked.

"You shouldn't be afraid! We didn't do anything wrong." Dad said hesitantly but firmly.

‘Alas!’ Fang Monan sighed inwardly. Dad is indeed too young. He is a new recruit in the officialdom. He has nothing to rely on. How dare he do this!

Sure enough, Mr. Lin said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

The secretary withstood the pressure on this matter, and no one dared to have any objections. If you had any objections, you could pay for them yourself, and shut everyone's mouths with one sentence. The number of people visiting gradually decreased, and the secretary was still in front of him.

Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials.

*********************************

After staying home for more than two months, Fang Mobei embarked on a journey to the United States again, this time to participate in the American Thomas Cooper Cup International Youth Violin Competition (thethomsnevonoopernterntonlvolnompetton), which is the largest in the world and has the highest prize money.

Youth International Competition: The competition includes a first prize bonus of US$10,000, a second prize bonus of US$6,000, a third prize bonus of US$3,000, and fourth to sixth prizes of US$1,000 each. The top six players who enter the US finals will all receive Oberlin awards.

A 4-year full scholarship of more than $200,000 to the Conservatory of Music. This is the largest prize awarded to young winners in the world.

The competition location is Cleveland, the largest city in Ohio, USA. It has become a modern big city in the 1930s. Heavy industry is the basis of the economy, among which the steel industry is the most developed. It is a transportation thoroughfare and a famous industrial city. However, there are many green spaces and parks in the urban area.

It covers an area of ​​about 7,500 hectares, accounting for about one-third of the city's area. The geographical environment here is called the "Forest City".

It was also very cold here in December, but the violin competition was in full swing. Behind the competition, Ludwig Olivier also participated this time. When Möbei saw him, he greeted him enthusiastically and said: "This is

Let me show you my progress this time."

"Oh! I'm waiting! Don't let me down!" Ludwig raised his eyebrows and said scornfully. After saying that, the two of them got ready. Mobei was the fifteenth to take the stage. This time she played a classic piece

Violin version of Mozart's Turkish March.

"Turkish March" adopts the rondo form, so it is also called "Turkish Rondo". The tune is light and lively, and the rhythm is full of sex. The middle part of the music is a bright and majestic march full of oriental colors. The theme tone is sonorous and powerful, and the rhythm is powerful.

It is majestic and makes people suddenly enlightened, as if a team is running rapidly.

Mobei played in one go and walked down happily.

Ludwig, clenched her fists. We haven’t seen each other for a few months. The little one has made a lot of progress in fingering and skills. At her age, she can play the march magnificently and magnificently. It’s rare to see her not soft and soft. Haha... myself

Not bad, so I let her listen to my performance. Coincidentally, he also played "Turkish March".

Fang Mobei listened carefully, biting his lips, with a hint of annoyance, but his momentum was still a little worse. Hum...

In the final result of the competition, Mobei still ranked second.

"Don't be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future." Ludwig comforted her as she walked off the stage.

"Huh! I won't lose to you next time." Mo Bei said with a grimace, unwilling to do so.

"Haha... you are really full of energy." The person who came here was in her forties, with blue eyes, long chestnut-colored wavy hair, a red knee-length skirt, and a well-shaped figure. She looked at her juniors with comfort.

of them, "Hello! I'm Mary Stacey"

Fang Monan has read the judges' information. This person is the current director of the Orchestral Department of the Curtis Institute of Music. It seems that she is not a judge this time. What is she doing here? Wait Curtis, wow...she didn't dare to guess.

.

"I remembered who you were. You were a judge in the last Moscow competition. I also served as a judge in several competitions and met you." After Fang Mobei remembered who she was, he said respectfully. It seems that she is not a judge this time.

I don't know what's going on here.

"You play the violin very well, I like it very much." Mobei looked at her with admiration. He had her cassettes at home, and Mobei also listed some of the tracks on the cassettes. "I can ask you for advice on playing.

Something about that?”

At this time, Stacey narrowed her eyes with laughter, "That's it! Then let's go to the cafe opposite." She smiled at the handsome boy as a farewell, pulled Fang Mobei and walked out of the hall.

He also didn't forget to signal Leonard and the two of them to go together.

After the four people sat down, the two adults ordered coffee and the younger one ordered juice. It's better than that, so let's make do with it!

"You are very talented. Considering your current age, your skills are very good." Stacey said with a smile.

Fang Monan and Leonard sat aside, drinking their own things, without interrupting, and letting Mo Bei solve the problem by himself. It was obvious that he was here for her. The two of them looked at each other, thinking the same thing.

Fang Mobei is now young and well-known, with such impressive achievements at such a young age, so it's not surprising that someone is looking for her.

Fang Mobei blinked, wondering why she praised her like this. "Thank you for the compliment, I will work harder."

Her smile became even brighter after hearing this, "I have no doubt about this. Judging from your progress, you have worked very hard. There is no shortage of geniuses in this industry, but geniuses who work hard and persevere."

"I know this! After these competitions, I know that there are many geniuses." Fang Mobei continued innocently: "Before learning the violin, Grandpa Lin and Teacher Lei both asked me if I was afraid of hardship and tiredness? If I was afraid, don't do it.

Learn, and once you learn, stick to it.”

Stacey was stunned after hearing this, "Your teacher didn't say which music school he wants you to attend in the future."

Leonard heard it now and said loudly: "Miss Stacey, you are very lucky. Originally, I wanted this girl to go to the Royal Academy of Music, but she wants to go to the Curtis Institute of Music."
