Chapter 572

Although the projection hall is Victorian, the paintings on the ceiling are the flying apsaras in the Dunhuang murals. They dance in the sky with long ribbons.

In fact, ancient Roman sculptures were also colored in the beginning, but the color looked too vulgar and was artificially washed away, revealing the white marble material, which was placed in the museum as a work of art.

Rich people are like this. They want to wash off the stench of copper on their bodies and are deliberately arty. The bourgeoisie in the Renaissance period are essentially the same as Mr. Wen. Buying, artists also have to eat. If the artist continues to flirt with the vulgar Grandma Liu like Miaoyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber, who will give him money to let him eat?

Sun Yat-sen thought very well at the beginning, as long as the army of the Qing Dynasty was moved by him, then they would fall to him. Later, he knew that no one would follow him if he had no money. From the conspiracy to launch the Guangzhou Chongyang Uprising in 1895 to 1923, Sun Yat-sen had gone through 28 years of hard work in revolutionary activities. During this period, he led anti-Qing, anti-Yuan, protect the law, and the Northern Expedition again and again, and continued to engage in armed struggles, but he never mastered an army armed with his own ideology and political ideas.

After the round of fraud by Kang Youwei, it was not so easy for Sun Yat-sen to find overseas Chinese to raise money for the revolution. The shortage of funds was the primary difficulty Sun Yat-sen encountered, and he could only rely on Zhang Jingjiang, who resold cultural relics.

Although the Zhang family and the Lin family are both overseas Chinese, the relationship between the two families is not close. The Zhang family is a "scholarly family", while the Lin family is a typical businessman.

Quantum Fund is a world-renowned large-scale hedge fund. It is one of the five hedge funds operated by George Soros. Tiger Fund was once the second largest hedge fund company in the world. The founder is Julian Robertson. In the summer, its total assets reached a peak of 23 billion U.S. dollars, making it the largest hedge fund in the United States. But on March 31, 2000, Robertson announced that he would close all the businesses of his six hedge funds when Tiger Fund fell from the peak of 23 billion US dollars to 6.5 billion US dollars as a last resort. This hedge fund used to be a "big banker" who joined forces with Soros and other hedge funds to hit the Hong Kong foreign exchange market. Now it has been liquidated and bankrupt. After the Tiger Fund collapsed, it liquidated 6.5 billion US dollars of assets, 80% of which were returned to investors. Julian · Robertson personally left $1.5 billion to continue investing.

The times have changed, Julian missed the opportunity to catch the high-tech express train, and lost a considerable number of excellent traders with unique vision and potential. Investment is an art of regret. Where there is a winner, there will be an outcast. If there is a profit, there will be a risk. When there is a loss, there will be a profit. When Soros sniped the Thai baht, he sacrificed the profit of the stock market, and then exchanged for the profit of the foreign exchange market. For expenses, the basic principle of hedge funds is this, to make full use of the leverage effect of various financial derivative products.

The organizational structure of hedge funds is generally a partnership system. Fund investors enter the group with funds and provide most of the funds but do not participate in investment activities; fund managers enter the group with funds and skills and are responsible for the investment decisions of the fund. Because hedge funds require a high degree of concealment and flexibility in their operations, the number of partners in a US hedge fund is generally limited to less than 100, and each partner's contribution is more than US$1 million.

Private equity circumvents the strict requirements of U.S. law on information disclosure of public equity funds, but if you are not a member of a circle of friends, hedge fund partners will not find you at all. In addition to the inaccurate vision of Tiger Fund, the scale itself is too large, and too many investors have caused the ship to turn around, which is also one of the reasons for its failure.

The Titanic was very big, a dream ship, but precisely because it was so big, when it encountered an iceberg, even if it turned at full speed, it still hit it under the action of inertia.

A large number of people does not necessarily mean victory. There are many examples in history of winning more with fewer people. In modern times, it is the performance of the Red Army when facing Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression. Interspersed, Chishui alone passed through four times, and finally they escaped from the heavy siege, and later became bigger and stronger and even defeated the Kuomintang, which is already a miracle in itself.

The mode of modern warfare is very different from the era of cold weapons. In the era of cold weapons, armor can block bows and swords. In the era of hot weapons, it cannot block bullets, but will become a burden and affect mobility.

During the Ikedaya incident, although the Shinsengumi was also a ronin, they took refuge in Kyoto Sojidai and could wear armor to perform tasks. In order to conceal their whereabouts, the reformers could not wear such conspicuous armor and act grandiosely on the street.

In close combat in such a narrow indoor space, long weapons cannot play its role, but short weapons are more likely to cause damage.

However, when it comes to field battles, melee weapons lose their advantages, and whoever has a longer range has an advantage. During the Falling Curtain War, the United States had ended the Civil War. Just as Hijikata Toshizo said, the militaristic Meiji government ignored the survival of the people and purchased a large amount of Armstrong guns and other armaments. Although they won the war, they owed a lot of money. If they lost in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, they would be devastated. The 200 million taels of silver from the Treaty of Shimonoseki was their life-saving straw. As in a documentary, a woman from a poor mountain village sent her son to work in a shipyard. Tell the general who built the ship with him that if you don't work hard, Japan will be over. Under the huge pressure of survival, Japan grew rapidly after the Manchu Self-strengthening Movement. When the Qing Dynasty was overwhelmed by domestic and foreign problems, Japan replaced China as the exporter of oriental culture.

Japanese women in kimonos can often be seen on the streets of big cities such as Paris and London. The hem of their skirts is very tight, so they can only take small and elegant steps. Many people think this is a manifestation of civilization. 1910 There was once a popular Hobbel skirt, and its design inspiration is said to have come from the kimono.

That kind of skirt is much better than Victorian clothes, at least with a loose waist, women have a kind of obsession with fluffy skirts, in Gone with the Wind, women before the Civil War are wearing typical Victorian styles Yes, in order to make her figure slender and slender, women wear tights like torture instruments, which are even more harmful to the body than footbinding.

After the Civil War, women's skirts were not so gorgeous skirts, as the ladies' long skirts gradually increased and became more and more exaggerated, causing more and more accidents, when people blindly wear skirts with skirts In the 10 years of the 1990s, more than 3,000 people died of skirt fires in the UK alone. A report in 1864 claimed that at least 40,000 women worldwide had died from such conditions in the past fourteen years.

She may really be a weirdo, but in the eyes of others, the beautiful and flowing skirt is a beautifully decorated instrument of torture.

She would rather not be beautiful than lose the right to run freely and ride a horse with her legs spread apart.

Scarlett is actually very much like Fleur. She doesn't hide her beauty and enjoys the attention of others with confidence, which is what Pomona lacks.

She wanted to be like Fleur, dancing with the "Prince" under the eyes of everyone. In fact, she was very happy at the party at Malfoy Manor that day. The dress she wore was her favorite, just like moonlight.

Her dance partner is not handsome, but he is a reformer of Wolfsbane Potion. It took him more than twenty years to turn a poison into a real antidote. He became a nominee for the Prince Award, even if She was just his foil, and she was also very happy.

Alas, women are complex, changeable, and incomprehensible.

If you think this way, a man is actually quite pitiful. What should he do to please a woman?

Anyway, it's not like the kid at the beginning of the movie who thinks it's an honor for Scarlett to get dessert.

"Don't imitate him!" Pomona pointed to the screen and said to Lin Yan, who was sitting next to her watching a movie with her. Lin Yan was looking at his mobile phone, and was completely stunned when he heard Pomona's words.

"What?" he asked inexplicably.

"Have you ever gotten into a fight?" Pomona asked.

"Why should I fight with someone?" Lin Yan was even more puzzled.

"If you fight with someone, if you lose, you have to find a way to return it. Don't sue the teacher. The 'informant' is the most annoying person."

"What?" Lin Yan asked with a distorted expression as if drinking bitter melon juice.

Pomona ignored him.

She can be so popular after watching a movie. Could it be that she has reached menopause?
