Chapter 556 The Most Beautiful Female Lawyer
Since September, investment companies owned by Barron, including DS Group, have entered the final stage of reducing their holdings of listed company shares.
At the same time, they have also begun to short the stock markets and other securities markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other regions on a larger scale.
Because by the fall of this year, the US stock market will reach its peak before the subprime mortgage crisis.
Not only will the high point of Nvidia's stock price in the next two or three years mentioned by Barron and Catherine Neville appear in October this year.
It can be said that the market value peak of most companies before the subprime mortgage crisis will appear in that period.
Therefore, starting from September, Black Swan Fund will gradually reduce the number of CDO betting agreements and CDS they hold, and prepare to add the funds they have obtained to short all investment products such as the stock market, foreign exchange market, gold, and crude oil futures.
Of course, the rhythm is also different. In the fall, the main focus is on shorting the stock market, and the US dollar exchange rate will continue to fall. Until April next year, the exchange rates of the pound and the euro against the US dollar will reach a high point.

"Ms. Alamuddin, welcome to my team."
"It's my honor, Your Highness, I believe you will not regret your decision today."
The confident woman with Arab-style features in front of Barron is Barron's new personal legal adviser, Amar Alamuddin.
Barron's previous legal adviser was preparing to retire due to health reasons, and the confident and generous beautiful woman in front of him was one of the successors recommended by the other party.
After a background check and interview, Barron finally chose Amar.
Amar Alamuddin, born in 1978, is 29 years old this year.
In the information about her that Barron had read before, Amar Alamuddin was born in Beirut, Lebanon. When she was 2 years old, she moved to England with her family because of the war.
Amar's parents are both intellectuals and have strict requirements for her and her brothers and sisters.
With the support of her parents, Amar Alamuddin has been studying in high-end private schools all the way and won the best award every year.
In 2000, 22-year-old Amal graduated from the Law School of Oxford University. The following year, she moved to New York and enrolled in the Law School of New York University.
In her first semester at New York University, she went to the U.S. Federal Court to work for the Chief Justice.
At the age of 26, Amal Alamuddin obtained the qualifications to practice law in both the United States and Britain, and entered the International Court of Justice in The Hague to participate in legal work.
When Barron first saw Amal Alamuddin's information, he felt a little familiar. After meeting her in person, Barron recognized that the legal advisor he had just hired was the "most beautiful female lawyer in Britain" who was later pursued by Hollywood star George Clooney in his previous life...
In all companies under Barron's name, there are legal departments, but Amal Alamuddin is his personal legal advisor, and this position is very important.
Because of Barron's status, many things require professional lawyers to prevent various legal risks for him, and these things also include many personal affairs - such as confidentiality agreements of people who serve him, and even his contact with some women, various risks that need to be avoided, etc.
In addition to basic business capabilities, the other party must also be trustworthy, and often some things need to be solved by private legal advisers - such as Ivanta's father. Later in the original time and space, his private lawyer needed to go out to help him pay "hush money" for some women to prevent the other party from disclosing their privacy.
However, at this time, Ivanta's father's "status" is still much lower than Barron's. His private lawyer does not only serve him alone, while Barron's private legal adviser will definitely only serve him alone, and most of the time, especially when he goes overseas, he needs to accompany him.
After joining the company, Amar Alamuddin will have a week to hand over with Barron's previous legal adviser and familiarize himself with his various needs. After that, he will be responsible for Barron's private legal affairs independently.

“This is my first time to Kolo. I heard that you have a lot of investments there?”
“In fact, the investment there is not much in my industry. Of course, for such a small African country, it is already a huge investment.”
The person talking to Barron is the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Andrew.
They are on the Devonshire, on their way to Kolo.
As a representative of the British royal family, Prince Andrew will visit several Commonwealth countries in Africa this time, and Kolo, as a new member of the Commonwealth, is also the first stop of his trip.
Barron was also going to Kolo, so Andrew simply took Barron’s private plane and went together.
When the Devonshire entered Kolo’s airspace, two Tornado F3 fighters flew over and escorted the plane on both sides.
“Is this our Tornado F3 fighter?”
"Yes, it is said that Chloe bought some aircraft that our Royal Air Force had just retired, including these Tornado fighters."
Speaking of Prince Andrew, many people know him because of the "Lolita Island List" incident that broke out later. He was very close to Epstein at the time.
But objectively speaking, Prince Andrew is not without his highlights. It can be said that Prince Andrew in his youth has a completely different evaluation from later.
Prince Andrew is the Queen's third child and her second child after Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince - at the same time, he is also the first child born by a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria gave birth to her youngest daughter Princess Beatrice in 1857.
In 1982, Prince Andrew joined the Naval Aviation Formation and served on the "Invincible" aircraft carrier.
At the beginning, the British generally believed that as a prince, Andrew went to the navy for gilding.
Then, the Falklands War broke out between Britain and Argentina. Mrs. Thatcher took a tough attitude and sent ships, including the Invincible aircraft carrier, to fight there.
At that time, Prince Andrew went to the front line to fight, which made the British people look at him with admiration.
Originally, because the prince went to the battlefield in person, he might be in danger of sacrifice at any time, so the British government planned to transfer Andrew back and arrange a civilian job.
However, the Queen insisted on letting her son stay on the "Invincible".
Finally, Prince Andrew went on an expedition with the "Invincible" as a pilot of the "Sea King" helicopter. He flew the aircraft to complete many anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare missions, and even played the role of a "tempting missile" to attract the opponent's tracking missiles.
When the war ended and the "Invincible" returned triumphantly, like other crew members and their families, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip went to Portsmouth Naval Port to welcome their son back safely.
So it is not without reason that the Queen loves Andrew the most among all her children.
Later, after Prince Andrew got married, the media exposed a shocking photo of his wife Sarah on a beach vacation with a wealthy businessman. The public was in an uproar, and Andrew couldn't wait to divorce her... He is still single until now, but his private life is very rich, and some outrageous rumors are exposed from time to time.
Speaking of which, the Queen has done a lot to quell scandals for her youngest son...
