Holding the coffee and taking a sip, Sebrina Rand looked at the young man opposite again carefully, and watching Eric's eyes landing on the book with concentration. Even though most of the time had passed, there was still curiosity in her eyes.[

Half a month ago, Sebrina, who was looking for a part-time job on vacation, received a call from her famous tutor at the college, saying that a big man wanted to find a temporary tutor to explain some basic knowledge of finance. She only needs 3 hours a day to get a $200 USD.

The higher the tuition fee in the United States, the higher the tuition fee. This is actually one of the big reasons why nearly half of the college students in the United States drop out of school. In addition to a few children of rich people, most American college graduates will more or less bear some student loans. In order to alleviate economic pressure, many students will choose to work part-time while they are at school.

The same is true for Sebrina. Before that, she was almost working, and her hourly salary was around $10.

When she heard about the job that could earn $200 per day in three hours, Sebrina couldn't wait to prepare a resume and hand it over to the tutor. However, she did not expect too much. Although her grades in the department were good, she was better than her and she wanted to get a lot of competitors.

But two days later, she received a notice that she had gotten a job.

Then, she met a vice president-level executive of Firefly Group, who seemed to be Alan Fisman. She thought the other party was the person she was going to coach, but the other party turned out to be interviewed. The two talked casually for half an hour, and she was then asked to sign a confidentiality contract worth more than ten pages.

The executives at the vice president level of Firefly Group came forward for such a trivial temporary work, Sebrina probably realized something in the process, but when she finally saw Eric herself, Sebrina was still surprised and almost fell off her chin.

The workplace is in Southampton, more than 100 kilometers from Columbia University in Manhattan. For this temporary job, Sebrina specially stayed at a classmate in Bridges, not far from Southampton. She drove for half an hour early in the morning to this cafe in Southampton.

In the first few days, Sebrina was explaining many basic knowledge points to Eric, mainly the professional terms in "Financial Alchemy" written by financial tycoon George Soros, which are reflexive, participants' preferences, swaps and value preservation, etc. These issues are very basic for most financial students.

Although I dare not express it, occasionally, Sebrina feels a sense of superiority in her heart.

But as the days went by, Eric had fewer and fewer problems every day, but he seemed to be more and more tricky. On several occasions, Sebrina almost fell speechless.

However, more recently, Sebrina feels like a vase. Apart from the first few questions every day, Eric just reads quietly alone, thinks occasionally, or is just a day.

Perhaps, in a few days, this well-paid job will be lost.

At this moment, when thinking about the initial sense of superiority, Sebrina couldn't help but feel that she was so stupid. The young man who had the most personal wealth in the world was only two years older. Sebrina could think that perhaps two years later, at most, she had just obtained a stable job, and was still thousands of miles away from her former life goals. However, the young man in front of her had already broken through the limit of wealth that most people could have.

How much money does he have? $46.5 billion, no, that was from the previous year, and last year it seemed to be 67.7 billion, which is really powerless.

After spending half a month together, Sebrina occasionally had some ideas like Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, etc. For this reason, she always subconsciously paid special attention to her appearance and specially bought a brand new set of cosmetics. But so far, except for the book "Financial Alchemy" in front of her, Eric has never communicated with her too much. She has never even been to his residence. He must have lived nearby. The two can only meet in this cafe every day. Occasionally, if he doesn't come, someone will notify her to leave.

He noticed that Eric's eyes left the book again and began to get distracted. After a pause, Sebrina suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "Ai... Eric, I went to watch "Titanic" with my friends last night."

After saying this, Sebrina noticed Eric's expression paused, raised her head, and seemed to notice that there was still someone sitting opposite him. Then, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a little disgusting, as if he had seen through everything.

Feeling her cheeks were slightly hot, Sebrina was a little regretful, but since she spoke, she still insisted on blurting out the idea that had been brewing for a while, and said: "I, my friends and I, I, have a serious underestimated movie, and its box office should have been higher."

Eric nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, Sebrina, I'm glad you enjoyed this movie."

After Eric finished speaking, he picked up the book in front of him and his eyes fell on the page again.

The raccoon cat's claw-like chat ended in failure, but Sebrina felt much more relaxed and could not feel the courage to speak up again.

It was so unanimous that Sebrina packed her things until twelve o'clock noon. Eric also stood up at this time. The two walked out of the cafe together. Sebrina was about to say goodbye to Eric and went to the nearby road to see if she could stop a taxi or ride back, but Eric reached out to stop her.

"Wait a moment, I'll send you back." Eric said.

Sebrina was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously, but felt a little warmer in her heart. She just casually said in the morning that her car broke down, but she didn't expect him to remember it. Before that, she had always felt that he was a cold-hearted person, and she suddenly felt that she had wronged him.

Eric took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. The two of them were waiting on the side of the road outside the cafe.

Sebrina quietly carried her bag, paused for a while, and made up her mind and said, "Eric, you may no longer need me. Maybe I won't need to come tomorrow, right?"

Eric looked at the girl and asked, "Your vacation should be long. Are there anything else to do?"

Sebrina thought about it, but shook her head honestly.

"Then keep reading with me," Eric smiled and said, "I like that when I read, I have someone to accompany me, and the smell on you is also very good."

Sebrina's face turned red and she said, "Eric, there should be many... girls who are willing to read books with you, right?"

"Yes," Eric nodded: "But they won't explain to me what reflexive theory is."

Then, Sebrina asked carefully again, "Eric, can I ask, why are you interested in Mr. Soros' book?"

Eric replied ambiguously: "Something is about to be born, so find out in advance."

Seeing that Eric did not explain in detail to her, Sebrina tactfully did not ask questions. It was not until half a year later, when the economic crisis that shocked the world swept across Southeast Asia that Sebrina understood what Eric said at this time.

The driver drove over, and Eric ordered the other party to send Sebrina back to Bridges, and then he returned to the manor.

Surprisingly, Chris and Emily had arrived at some point. They returned to Maryland to accompany Jeffrey during Christmas, but they didn't expect to come back so soon.

Eric hugged the two of them one by one and exchanged casual greetings. Chris noticed the book "Financial Alchemy" in Eric's hand and said with a smile: "You have hired a little girl recently to read this book with you?"

Eric nodded, not forgetting to joke: "Has this been spread to Maryland?"

"I heard about it when Emily and Joan were on the phone," Chris explained.

Emily smiled and teased, "Who knows what he is paying attention to?"

Eric ignored Emily's teasing and asked, "Why did you come back so early? Don't you stay for a few more days?"

"It's not you, I'm pushing so much work to Chris, but I'm so leisurely."

Eric looked up and down at Emily, looking at her furiously, and then said, "If you marry Chris now, I will take half of his work immediately."

When Emily heard this, she was immediately pulled Vikinia beside her and walked towards the villa, not forgetting to defend herself: "We're going to prepare lunch, let's talk to you two."

Everyone chuckled.

After the women left, Chris returned to the "Financial Alchemy" just now and said, "You have also noticed Soros' actions in recent times?"

""How could I not notice whether Soros's remarks about the Southeast Asian economy are kept confidential?

The Southeast Asian economic crisis broke out in 1997 in general, but in fact, as early as the beginning of this year, Soros had already begun to frequently look down on the Southeast Asian economy. However, just like the British thought that the British pound, which had been firm for hundreds of years, would never depreciate, at this time, Southeast Asian countries that had experienced more than ten years of false prosperity, also felt that their financial systems would not be compromised by just international hot money, so they did not take any effective measures to prevent them.

At this time, some impatient international currency searches may have begun to establish short positions in Southeast Asian currencies. In February next year, the international foreign exchange speculators represented by Soros began to tentatively attack the Thai baht.

Chris couldn't help but think of the incident in 1990s and asked, "What do you think this time?"

Eric shrugged and said, "Southeast Asian countries will definitely be in great trouble this time, and they can't hold on."

Chris' eyes flashed and he said: Then this time?

"I have been thinking about this issue recently," Eric said: "We will definitely not be able to replicate the futures profit miracle during the Kuwait War. That time it was a sudden black swan event. Almost everyone did not think that Saddam dared to invade Kuwait, but he did that. This time, it was different. Once Soros took the lead in attacking the Southeast Asian currency market, it would be at least a long tug-of-war for half a year or even a year. At that time, the scale of international hot money involved in it will be more than 100 billion. Whoever we enter the market will have no advantages, and the risks we will bear will not be lower than others."

"What are you going to do?" Chris asked again.

"Just play around, those hundreds of millions of dollars go in and have a small fight. Although we can't play too big, we can't do nothing, which is not in line with my style."

These days, Eric has been considering various issues in the upcoming Southeast Asian economic crisis. Of course, he had thought about doing something big like he had been five years ago, but then it turned out that this simply didn't work.

It's very simple. With the current foundation of Firefly Group, Eric can easily raise $200 million in a short period of time. If necessary, Firefly Group can also lend more than $1 billion in funds from major U.S. banks.

Then, according to the ideal state, with US$200 million in funds and five times the security leverage, the overall short position will reach US$100 million.

As I remember, after experiencing the financial crisis, the currencies of Southeast Asian countries basically depreciated by about 50%. Then, Eric will be able to obtain about 500 million US dollars in this short position of 100 million US dollars.

$500 million is already a very generous profit figure. After all, the top giants in the United States have only this number of profits in a year.

But the fact is, in Eric's memory, the four Asian tigers that suffered the worst financial crisis in Southeast Asia, the foreign exchange reserves of several countries were only more than 100 billion US dollars. Currency speculation is different from international futures. The buyers are mainly the main banks of various countries that were attacked, and the source of funds is also the foreign exchange reserves of various countries.

Then, without mentioning the later search of stock markets, bonds and even real economy industries in various countries, just in terms of currency speculation, a total of more than $100 billion in fat meat was seen by wolves, Eric would never be able to establish a short position of $100 million in size.

If you use the principal of $200 million, you want to swallow one tenth of it, and when others' international hot money of over $100 billion does not exist.

During the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the original time and space, Soros was undermining all his wealth at that time and finally made more than 200 million US dollars.
