The leisurely life of rebirth

"Britain has suffered heavy losses now!" Mr. Lin said while looking at the news in one sentence.

There are currently very few financial reports in China, with lagging information and poor communication. It is not like the 24-hour rolling live broadcast of news in later generations, or the Internet, where you can check market conditions anytime and anywhere.

Just like the foreign exchange market, due to the different geographical locations of financial centers around the world, the Asian market, the European market, and the American market are connected to form a global foreign exchange market that operates continuously 24 hours a day due to time differences.

The New York market opens at 8:30 a.m. (based on New York time), the Chicago market opens at 9:30 a.m., the San Francisco market opens at 10:30 a.m., the Sydney market opens at 18:30 a.m., the Tokyo market opens at 19:30 a.m., and the Hong Kong market opens at 20:30 a.m.

The market opens in Singapore, Frankfurt opens at 2:30 a.m., and the London market opens at 3:30 a.m. In this way, the foreign exchange market operates 24 hours a day, making the foreign exchange market a day and night market. The foreign exchange market only operates on Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays in various countries.

will close.

This kind of continuous operation provides investors with an ideal investment place without time and space barriers. Investors can find the best time to trade. For example, if an investor buys Japanese yen in the New York market in the morning, the Hong Kong market will open in the evening.

After the yen rises, the investor sells in the Hong Kong market. No matter where the investor is, he can participate in any market and buy and sell at any time. Therefore, the foreign exchange market can be said to be a market without time and space barriers.

Grandma Lin and grandma looked at him, wondering why they were so emotional.

The phone rang, and you didn't have to guess who it was. Mr. Lin picked up the phone and heard Lin Chengdong's excited voice, "Dad...Dad..."

"Okay, I know you are excited, so you finally made up for it." Mr. Lin said with a smile.

"Yes! Dad not only made up for it, but also made money!" Lin Chengdong said excitedly. He was sitting in the office disheveled and unshaven. Although his face was haggard, he was in a happy mood.[

"Dad! Next I..."

The father and son talked on the phone for an hour. Lin Chengdong nodded frequently during the phone call.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Lin turned around and was startled. "Why are you looking at me?"

"What are you plotting with your son?" Grandma Lin looked at the old man with sharp eyes.

Mr. Lin explained to them the storm in the European foreign exchange market these days in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

"Listen to what my brother said, no matter how much we win, the other party will lose. That is to say, our own happiness is based on the pain of others." Grandma tried to say.

"Making money in the financial investment market is a zero-sum game. If you lose, others will make a profit. If you make a profit, someone will lose. The essence is life and death." Mr. Lin said. "The big girl is right, a zero-sum game is

One's own happiness is based on the pain of others, and the two are completely equal in size, so both parties try their best to achieve "benefiting oneself at the expense of others". The result of the zero-sum game is that one party eats the other. The income of one party is exactly

The loss of the other party will not increase the interests of the entire society."

Fang Monan said. “Specifically in the stock market, if a certain stock or the entire stock market rises or falls, then the value of a certain stock or the value of the entire stock market will also rise or fall, such as the stock price of Nippon Steel in Japan.

It dropped from 800 yen to 400 yen, thus reducing the value of all Nippon Steel shares by half.

However, in the foreign exchange market, the change in value represented by the fluctuation of the exchange rate is completely different from the change in the value of the stock. This is because the exchange rate refers to the exchange ratio of the currencies of two countries, and the change in the exchange rate is the decrease in the value of a currency.

An increase in the value of another currency.

For example, a few years ago, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for 360 yen. Currently, 1 U.S. dollar is exchanged for 200 yen. This shows that the value of the yen is rising, while the value of the U.S. dollar is declining. In terms of the total value, changing back and forth will not increase the value.

, will not reduce the value. Therefore, foreign exchange trading is called a 'zero-sum game', or more precisely, a transfer of wealth.

In recent years, more and more funds have been invested in the foreign exchange market, and the exchange rate volatility has been expanding day by day, which has prompted the scale of wealth transfer to become larger and faster, and the speed has become faster and faster. Calculated based on the daily global foreign exchange transaction volume of 15 trillion US dollars,

A rise or fall of 1% means that 150 billion funds have to change to a new owner. Although the foreign exchange rate changes greatly, no currency will become waste paper. Even if a currency continues to fall, it will always

Represents a certain value unless the currency is abolished."

Grandma and Fatty digested it for a long time, and then they glared over, "My dear..." Even though Fatty already knew it, his heartbeat would still speed up every time he heard it.

Fang Monan said calmly, "The reason why zero-sum games have attracted widespread attention is mainly because people have discovered that situations similar to 'zero-sum games' can be found in all aspects of society. The glory of the winner often hides the glory of the loser.

Sour and bitter.

From individuals to countries, from politics to economics, it seems that the world is a huge zero-sum game field.

This theory believes that the world is a closed system, with limited wealth, resources, and opportunities. The increase in the wealth of individual people, individual regions, and individual countries will inevitably mean the plunder of other people, other regions, and countries. This is a

A world of evil evolution based on the law of the jungle.[

We are developing and utilizing coal and oil resources vigorously, leaving less and less for future generations.

It's a fact, resources are non-renewable."

Many urban reconstructions in later generations are also a zero-sum game. In addition to enriching some people's private pockets and making the GP data look better, the overall social benefits have not increased as a result.

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

In the tenth month of the golden autumn, 'autumn enters the small town and is so cold that it penetrates the bones. People don't know how ripe the persimmons are. The beauty is not yet broken and the mouth is full of saliva. The world is greasy and sweet.'

Persimmons are the only fruit that can be picked during the snow and frost. Persimmons are beautiful in color, sweet and juicy, and rich in nutrients. They are a popular fruit and are known as the best fruits in late autumn.

Fang Monan often comes to Xishan at night these days, where old man Guiguzi hides from the world, but he has never entered the cave again.

The most common thing is to fly up to the top of the mountain and look at the green persimmons that I’m looking forward to finally putting on their delicate red faces. It’s autumn and winter again. At this time, when the red is shining brightly, the persimmons all over the tree turn from green to red. On the green persimmon trees, hanging

They were so full of red persimmons that the rolling-pin-thick branches were bent over. The hanging branches seemed to signal people to hurry up and pick them.

Unfortunately, it is steep on all sides, so people cannot climb up, so they have to go south. There are many persimmon trees on the top of the mountain.

The color of the fruit is as red as fire, and the surface gloss of the fruit is crystal. It is named after it is soft and has a fiery red skin. When it matures in late autumn, it hangs all over the branches, as bright as flames. It is large red in color, crystal clear, with a thin skin and a core.

The flesh is honey-sweet, tastes cool and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, has an excellent taste, and the peel is easy to peel off.

If the persimmons are not ripe yet, you can use a cardboard box and put some green apples or pears inside to promote the ripening of the persimmons.

But there was no one here to compete with Fang Monan, so he continued to let the persimmons hang on the tree. At worst, he would actually get something to eat the frozen persimmons.

In winter, persimmons are usually placed outdoors and frozen into ice at extremely low temperatures, which are called frozen persimmons for easy storage. Because frozen persimmons are extremely hard, they are usually placed in water before eating, and the temperature of the frozen persimmons rises through heat exchange.

, softening and making it easier to eat, this process is called thawing persimmons. The taste of frozen persimmons that have been thawed is very different from those that have not been thawed. Some people also eat cold and hard frozen persimmons directly, which has a different flavor.

Fang Monan was jumping up and down with the basket, watching the red persimmons peeling off the skin and sucking them. It was really sweet as honey. It was cool and very refreshing. He ate a few in a row. When they were almost done, he started to put them in the basket.

Don’t give up until it’s full!

The persimmons here are extraordinary due to the existence of the Spirit Gathering Formation. Although they are not as good as the peaches in the cave, they are still of great benefit.

After filling two full baskets, Fang Monan returned to the farm as the moonlight flashed by like the wind.

"Nannan! You've gone to Xishan again." Grandma looked at the two baskets of red persimmons in her hand and smiled.

"The persimmons are finally ripe, come and try them, grandma." Fang Monan put the basket on the dining table, "Everyone who comes to see you will have a share."

"Then you're welcome." Chang Jiuchun and the others said. They picked it up, peeled off the skin, and sucked it. The sweet juice slipped into their mouths, "Oh! It's so sweet."

"Delicious!" said Vikara.

"It's delicious, but don't eat too much. If you eat too much at night, it will be difficult to digest and make your stomach uncomfortable." Fang Monan said with a smile, "We will have a persimmon feast tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Huang Yilin raised her hands and shouted happily.

Another foodie who was conquered by Fang Monan’s cooking skills.

Early the next morning, after Fang Monan's morning exercise, he went into the kitchen and took out the persimmons picked last night and the cornmeal ground from this year's new corn, which Sun Youzhen sent.

"Nan Nan, you are going to steam the steamed cornmeal!" Grandma seemed to have peeled off the persimmon skin, put the pulp into the cornmeal, and used the juice of the persimmon directly to knead the flour without adding water.

"My guess is good, it's steamed steamed buns." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"In the past, we used to add sugar or candied osmanthus because it was not sweet enough, but that was only done by rich people. Poor people used cornmeal and mixed noodles to make their throats irritated. When I was a child, I was afraid of eating them, so I just left the house.

Wotou." Grandma said in surprise, "Why do you want to make this? If I don't eat it in my life, I don't even want to."

"Grandma, you said this, don't eat it after it's been steamed!" Fang Monan joked with a smile.

"Who says I won't eat? I'll eat whatever Nan Nan does." Grandma said with a smile.

"Haha..." Fang Monan smiled but said nothing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at (qn). Your monthly vote and your support are my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to mqn
