In May, the U.S. stock market continued to fluctuate and then fell sharply.

At this time, when everyone was mourning, Catherine was smiling - she had made a lot of money.

So far, Catherine's original funds, if the Ministry of Finance allocates them now, will be about 3.1 billion US dollars. At such a price now, it can be considered a large amount of funds - if it is put into the market in the 21st century

, which is almost more than 10 billion in funds.

However, Soros can no longer make more money. He wisely chose to leave the stock market, and the 50% return promised to Catherine has been achieved.

Of course, Soros himself also made a lot of money.

Although the stock market continues to fall, it is not that simple to make money again.

Short selling requires someone to take over. At this time, people are already afraid, and there are naturally fewer people who dare to take over. Short selling cannot be done in this way.

At this time, rumors had begun to appear that the crisis of 1929 was about to happen again... In the 1920s, a speculative frenzy arose in the U.S. securities market. "Whoever wants to get rich, buy stocks" became a mantra, and people were obsessed with it.

He bought stocks obsessively, dreaming of becoming a millionaire overnight. Crazy stock speculation finally led to an economic catastrophe.

In just one day, more than 16 million shares were sold, and the average price of 50 major stocks fell by nearly 40%.

The "prosperity" scene disappeared overnight, and the previous financial crisis came one after another: a large number of banks failed, companies went bankrupt, the market collapsed, and production dropped sharply: the number of unemployed people increased sharply, people's living standards plummeted, and the prices of agricultural products fell.

Many people were on the verge of bankruptcy and ushered in the "Great Depression" period.

It can be said that if it were not for Roosevelt, a strong man who could turn the tide, the revival of the American economy would probably have to take another ten to twenty years to be realized.

Compared to the panicked Americans, Catherine was extremely calm. Let’s not mention that history does not develop like this. Looking at the current situation in the United States, we know that this is impossible.

The Great Depression of the 1960s was caused by oversupply and overproduction of American goods. At that time, many unsold goods were dumped or destroyed, but this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen in the United States today.

.

As one of the two poles of the world, the United States has very strong purchasing power.

According to Catherine, this incident was caused by the U.S. financial system. It was officially because of problems in the U.S. financial system that this crisis was caused.

The first oil crisis and the second oil crisis after 11 increased the burden on the U.S. economy, but it was not as bad as the 1930s, and that was no longer a problem.

3.1 billion is a lot less money. Once this kind of capital is invested in your own business, it can immediately elevate your business to a higher level.

But 3.1 billion in funding is not much - it is not even enough to cover IBM's research and development expenses on the 360 ​​mainframe.

Although IBM is preparing to phase out the 360 ​​mainframe, Catherine still asked someone to do statistics. According to the company's sales consultant, they have made at least more than 6.5 billion US dollars on the 360 ​​mainframe, and this is still conservative.

around, such as

If we are more optimistic, the funds earned by the other party are likely to reach more than 7 billion! It is not easy to make so much money from Catherine's company alone, and Catherine's money must be invested in research and development, so if you want to be like IBM,

…That’s a little bit difficult.

This quotes 100 million dollars, Catherine does not intend to use one by one, so it must be used until the petroleum crisis before it can be used.

After that, the US dollar will enter a period of rapid depreciation. Without the money, it will depreciate without falling those money.

What? You say that you can buy gold for money, and that is impossible, because the profits you earn that do not make Catherine directly earn your funds directly ... At this time, the world has entered the US -Soviet power.

The second stage. At this time, the Soviet national strength is rising, and the US dollar just announced that the national strength of the United States linked to gold is declining.

Although history has changed, what has not changed is that the United States is temporarily disadvantaged in the Soviet struggle. At this time, the economic contradictions in the United States are increasing. When the fourth Middle East War and the first oil crisis are, because

At the same time, the country's oil -producing country has increased oil prices in a large scale. The United States will fall into economic stagnation and decline. This will also spread to other capitalist countries, which will cause a large -scale economic crisis.

Historically, the "golden age" of the economic development of the capitalist world for more than 20 years ended in this era.

But now, the situation in the United States does not seem to be as bad as history.

The emergence and development of the mercenary system has changed some economic composition in the United States, and even affects the world.

In the Soviet Union, the economic efficiency of the Soviet Union was beyond Catherine's expected history. It was a lot higher in history.

It's just a little higher than the original world.

In general, the gap between the United States and the Soviet Union is not as big as historically.

However, Catherine dare not guarantee what will happen next ... For Catherine himself, although the current international situation has a lot to do with Catherine, it has not changed much for Catherine's own industry.

And the decline of the real economy means the prosperity of the virtual economy. If Catherine can develop a model similar to "World of Warcraft" at this time ... No, or even online games such as "Legend", it can immediately cause the United States, even the whole all the whole.

The sensation of the world. The company that operates this game alone may be able to use this game to enter the top 500 in the world ... But now, the only thing Catherine can get the shot, only this game xing.

"World". Although this game has attracted enough players, compared with those online games in the future, it is still very unsatisfactory.

Of course, Catherine can also develop malls similar to Taobao, Easy Fun, but ... there is no picture of the mall, Catherine does not think it is so attractive.

In the future, a webpage will consume more than ten trillion or even tens of mega, hundreds of megamies, but now it is placed in a webpage that accounts for 526kb memory, which is very luxurious.

Although the development of memory does not stagnate as in history, this does not mean that the current machine can be compared with future machines ... Strategic speaking, Catherine to get the greatest benefit is constantly developing.

Develop your own technology.

The knowledge I possess can no longer help the industry. At this time, what I need is money.

Although Edson's Law of semiconductors - Moore's Law - is there, if there is enough investment and a large enough number of researchers, it may be possible to speed up the pace of research and development... Human power is sometimes very small.

But sometimes, it is a key that opens the door to another world...

Although Bill Gates was doing homework at this time, his mind was wandering in "The Wizarding World".

For adults, the first year of the 1970s seems not to be an easy one, but for a middle school student, this year is just like any other.

Of course, for Gates himself, his life is getting better and better. Because of the hot sales of "Metal Slug", he and Jobs suddenly became celebrities, and Gates had more money at his disposal.

Of course, Gates is not interested in money at all now... he likes to play games.

For Gates, Blizzard is his pursuit. Gates even feels that he is likely to work at Blizzard in the future... The employees at Blizzard all have a passion for what they are doing at work.

At that time, he was so focused and so charming

For Gates, this unprecedented sight shocked him - maybe a person can be so devoted to study or work, but a group of people are working hard day and night, fighting for their dreams.

Holding...this feeling is something I have never experienced before.

Everyone in Blizzard is extremely passionate about games. This vibrant corporate culture that even Catherine herself had not expected would have a huge impact on Gates.

As a result, Gates began to like every game produced by Blizzard.

They have a large number of products, but they are by no means shoddy. There may be many games in there that are not hot sellers, but if you taste them carefully, you can find the hard work of the staff.

This is a concept that implements the concept of "Blizzard products must be high-quality".

Since the original "Super Mario", Gates has loved analyzing and dissecting the concepts of every game produced by Blizzard and the ideas they want to express.

...Of course, I don’t do that every time, such as now.

Gates has been completely fascinated by this game called "Magic World".

Such a game that allows everyone to interact with each other is absolutely unprecedented. Such a game can bring people from all over the country together to play the game. Maybe they don’t know each other, but in the game,

But everyone is a companion who kills monsters together, plays games together, and talks about the mountains together.

This unprecedented feeling is fascinating.

Looking at the time, it's almost eight o'clock in the evening.

"It's time to start..."

Gates put down his homework and turned on the computer.

At eight o'clock every day, he and his comrades made an appointment to attack the boss together.
