Chapter two hundred and forty-eight, the senior who is responsible for welcoming guests
The morning dew reveals the fragrance of green grass, and the blue sky is dotted with white clouds. When the 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. He was wearing a typical Eton tuxedo, the black suit that seemed to return to the medieval era. He said politely: "My name is Conrad Grayson, and I am the president of the Student Union who is responsible for welcoming this year's freshmen. Please come with me."
Ashley took a step forward. At this moment, no one could see the extremely vigorous vitality she usually had, only the cheerfulness and beauty of the sunny girl: "I'm thankful for you, Grayson, the second group of girls in Eton's hundreds of years of history, came to school. This is a historic moment."
"Stop," Alice patted Ashley, who was pretending to be a ladylike style: "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 the four girls coming to the school gate together, as a normal seventeen-year-old boy, he would instinctively think that he might be able to chat with them for a moment at the door. But who knew that the four ladies were not comparable to ordinary girls. When the Asian girl with long hair spoke, the other three looked unconditionally obeyed, which really surprised him twice.
"No problem, please allow me to look at the list first."
Of course, the work must be carried out. While leading the four people into the school gate, Conrad waved to let another classmate continue to guard the door, and he took out a list from the folder he carried with him.
"What are your names?"
"Alice-King."
"Sisi Lawrence."
"Ashley O'Leyle."
"Maiya-Akaman."
The names of four girls poured into Conrad's heart, Wang, Lawrence and Akaman, who had never heard of it, but when Ashley's last name sounded, his feet wearing high-end leather shoes could not help but pause.
"Orell...Ashley, are you the granddaughter of Ms. Ivy Orell?"
Ashley moved a little further away from him: "It seems that Grayson's family has some business dealings with us. Is your father...?"
Conrad said modestly: "It's nothing great, it's just doing some investment business. But Ashley, you..."
"Greyson Company of Wall Street?"
Xixi suddenly interrupted: "I remember you, it seems that they were just founded eight years ago. They happened to be developed through the oil crisis. Is your father John Grayson?"
Conrad was really stunned. The world was so big. Even if Eaton was a place where global elites gathered, wasn’t this degree of encounter a bit too powerful?
"Is your father..."
"I'll say you guys,"
Just as Conrad was about to continue asking, Alice interrupted boredly: "Now is not the time to chat, right? This brother, if you don't tell us the dormitory door number, 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 to calmly suppress all kinds of curiosity in his heart: "Please come with me..."
Since the four people are divided into three grades, Ashley and Maiya naturally would not live in the same dormitory as Alice and Sissi. Similarly, although Eton currently has few girls, it does not give Conrad the right to walk into the girls' dormitory at will. Anyway, it is just two or three small buildings. After receiving the position, he explained the specific distribution of the houses.
Of course, during this process, the handsome senior also chatted with the girls a lot. Due to Alice's lack of interest, Wuya said nothing, and her airs were naturally tied to Ashley and Sissi. There was no way, who told them that one of them was a famous family in Italy, and the other was traveling with this senior Grayson at home?
"So ladies, I'm very happy to be able to lead you. I will speak on behalf of the students at the opening ceremony, and I hope we will be there..."
"Greyson on Wall Street, right?"
It was still Alice, she easily interrupted Conrad's gushing: "What kind of investment business are you mainly engaged in?"
Along the way, Conrad was becoming more and more curious about this long-haired Asian girl. The name Alice Wang obviously would not correspond to any prominent family. Although there is no doubt about the wealth of students who can study in Eton, compared to the famous O'Leary family and Roger Lawrence, who is also the daughter of Wall Street investment circle, an Asian surname Wang is a rampant...
"Hey, I'm asking you about it!"
"In terms of oil, just as Miss Lawrence said."
Although I don’t know why, the four girls obviously use Alice as their backbone. If Conrad couldn’t even see this, he, the president of the student union, could really take a shower and go home to sleep.
Alice continued, "So, what do you think about the recent international oil market?"
Conrad felt more and more strange. It seemed that he needed to check the freshman carefully when he turned around: "Of course it was stable. As early as three years ago, OPEC reached an agreement on oil prices and output in London, and investors were very enthusiastic."
Alice nodded: "So what do you think about the current political situation of oil-producing countries?"
Curiosity made Conrad become very interested in talking with Alice, and the topic was the oil issue he was good at. He immediately started to talk: "The Middle East has always been a place of constant disputes, so for oil investors, every action of these countries is crucial. Let's talk about the current Iraq-Iraq War. Their war has lasted from 80 years to the present. As long as it lasts for a day, the oil prices in the relevant regions will definitely not be able to drop, but once the fire is ceased, the prices will definitely fall temporarily. This is a great opportunity for us to make profits."
As he said that, he looked at Sissi excitedly again: "Miss Lawrence, I wonder if your father is interested in investing in oil. My father will be very interested in introducing you to a few bull stocks, such as BP..."
"Give you some advice, man."
Alice interjected happily again and said, "The Iraq-Iraq War is getting more and more intense now, and Kuwait will be affected by the fish. It is estimated that the United Nations will intervene in the future. By that time, there will be no certain changes in the oil market. You are so excited that you are talking now, don't fall back and fall."
Conrad couldn't help but twitched in the corners of his eyes: "It seems that Ms. Wang is also very knowledgeable about investment."
That's of course.
Alice smiled silently.
With a lot of spare money on hand, she has certainly thrown some of her money into the oil market.
The long Iran-Iran-Iran War began in 1980 and lasted for eight years. In 1986, the war situation became more intense, and in the so-called third period, Iran reversed the past policy of fighting attrition and strived to make a quick decision.
In early February 1986, Iran dispatched more than 90,000 troops to launch a large offensive code-named "Dawn 8" to conquer the important port city of Fao, an important port city in southern Iraq. Echoing the ground battlefield, an extremely fierce ship attack war between the two Iranian and Iran also launched an extremely fierce ship attack war. By the end of the year, there were 106 ships attacked, of which 28 ships entering and leaving the Kuwait port were attacked.
As a result, as the ship attack war affected the interests of non-believer countries, Kuwait proposed chartering 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 Kuwait tankers and continuously dispatched warships to the Gulf on this ground, 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 passed Resolution 598 on July 20, 1987, demanding that both sides of Iran immediately cease fire. However, after the resolution was passed, due to the long-standing grudge between Iran and Iran, the positions and differences on the issue of ceasefire were different, so no one was willing to take the initiative to make concessions. As a result, this resolution was delayed and it was not improved until 1988.
So it is conceivable that at such a time when the situation is getting worse, the relevant oil prices will continue to soar, and continue until the ceasefire. For oil maker, this is undoubtedly a heavenly period, and the only thing that affects personal achievements is probably only purely unpredictable for the future.
"So Miss Wang, since you think Kuwait will ask the United Nations for help, can you guess the situation after that?"
At this moment, not only Conrad, Sissi and the other three were also looking at Alice with great enthusiasm.
Say, or not?
What should I say, how should I say?
Alice fell into hesitation.
If you are honest, when the prophecy comes true, you can show off yourself.
If you tell a lie and Conrad's father believed him - not to mention whether it is possible, then you can successfully trick an investor into a sense of accomplishment. But the price is that you may be hated by some people and form a small hatred.
Say, or not?
This is a problem.
However, just as Alice was still hesitating, a man who suddenly walked out of the woods interrupted the rhythm.
Evan Drov had been following his female students for a long time, and he knew it was time for him to show up.
