Giant of the times

This time the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis will be Li Zetian’s last chance to make a fortune by relying on his past life memories, so this opportunity is extremely precious!

As long as you get rich, don't worry about floods~

At this time, U.S. banks, securities, risk companies, and investors were all dazzled by the U.S. real estate bubble. When the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, they themselves suffered the consequences. No one else can blame them.

If there is no greed, there will be no harm.

Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin made intensive arrangements. By the end of October, they had prepared US$750 billion, and there will be more in the future. In addition to purchasing CDS products, mortgage credit default swaps, from insurance companies, the money is also intended to short the stock market and buy companies at low prices. In addition, Li Zetian's own company is used to deal with the crisis.

…

This morning, Li Zetian came to Dongfang Yuqin's room. She was about to go out to do something, but she was stopped by Li Zetian.

"Give yourself a day off today, my dear!"

"The signs of the subprime mortgage crisis are becoming more and more obvious, and I still have a lot on my hands."

"It's not like you're in a rush for the day. You're tired these days and you're already haggard." Li Zetian stretched out his right hand and gently touched Dongfang Yuqin's face. She is a woman in her forties, and her skin is well maintained. Mom, the charm is still there.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled. Under her long eyelashes, her beautiful eyes were as gentle as water. She was very beautiful. She shook her head and said, "My dear, I'm not tired~"

"You should rest even if you are not tired!" Li Zetian said in a tough tone, but Dongfang Yuqin really felt Li Zetian's concern.

"Okay." She nodded and immediately kissed Li Zetian on the forehead.

Li Zetian smiled at this time and said: "I remember that the epic movie "StarCraft: Uprising" co-operated by Blizzard and Disney was about to be released. I, you, and our daughter Yue'er went to watch the movie together, and then we took Yue'er with us. Go to Disneyland.”

Dongfang Yuqin was moved when she heard this.

"Well, you have the final say, and I will listen to you!" Dongfang Yuqin rested her head on Li Zetian's shoulder like a bird clinging to a human. Because this family is different from ordinary families (Li Zetian has two wives), she does not spend much time with Li Zetian and their daughters.

At this time, Yu Jingqiu, as the chairman and charity ambassador of L.Y Charity Foundation, was doing charity activities in Africa.

Speaking of which, if I don’t do charity, I really don’t know how many people will starve to death on the earth in one year, how many people will die of disease, and how many children will not be able to go to school. This ridiculous world, this fuck~ The world is so chilling just thinking about it.

"Star Wars" is a Blizzard classic with tens of millions of fans. The movie hasn't even been released yet, but the tickets for the first three days have already been sold out.

On the evening of November 1st, Li Zetian, Dongfang Yuqin and their youngest daughter Li Yuer had dinner at home and then went to a nearby cinema.

Of course, Li Zetian also has a theater at home, but going to the theater to watch it will give you the atmosphere of watching a movie. At the same time, you can also learn from the side whether the movie is accepted and liked by the audience.

Wearing sunglasses, no one discovered Li Zetian's identity.

When he walked into the cinema, it was completely dark inside, and no one knew his identity.

Xiao Yue'er sat between her parents, holding popcorn in her hands, with excitement and joy on her face. This was her first time to watch a movie in a cinema, and there were many people around.

"Dad, is the movie about to start?"

"Well, it's about to start." Li Zetian reached out and touched her little head, smiling and nodding.

The screen suddenly lit up, and after a while, the movie was officially broadcast.

"In the Koprulu star region, which is far away from the earth, the human colony Mar Sara is in crisis. A group of alien bugs controlled by the Brood Will and trying to devour all life have invaded the planet..."

At the beginning of the movie, a deep narration sounded, a distant human colony planet was ravaged by Zerg, and an unprecedented war broke out between the two sides!

This amazing special effects and this magnificent scene are simply an audio-visual feast.

The audience was immediately hooked.

Next, the human colony planet was invaded, and the Zerg began to devour all life. In order to survive, human beings fought back and launched an uprising. A magnificent uprising story unfolded, touching the heartstrings of countless people every moment...

At the end of the movie, there is no doubt that humans finally defeated the Zerg and won.

"Oh, it's so beautiful! Wonderful!"

"The special effects are stunning, the story is touching, and it's a classic!"

"Better than Star Wars!"

"Blizzard is really great!"

"..."

The audience applauded and were very satisfied with the movie.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Zetian felt that he had done the right thing when he proposed that Blizzard and Disney cooperate in filming a movie. The success of "StarCraft: Uprising" has allowed Blizzard to embark on a new path, which is of great significance. Creating and operating IP will be Blizzard's key development direction in the future!

There is no empire on which the sun never sets.

For a game company, if it cannot continue to produce excellent games, it will eventually decline.

Games developed by Blizzard cannot always be popular.

In the previous life, at least in Li Zetian's view, Blizzard was really in decline. Compared with the popularity of Blizzard's development of games, "StarCraft 2" and "Overwatch" can only be classified as not popular. .

At this time, a smile slowly appeared on Li Zetian's face. He took Xiao Yue'er's little hand, and he and Dongfang Yuqin quietly left the cinema with the crowd...

…

"StarCraft: Uprising" has received huge reviews, with critics and media praising it.

A week later, the North American box office reached 210 million US dollars, which shocked everyone, and then set off a craze for game adaptation movies. Investors and film companies are very optimistic about this.

This week, the market value of almost all gaming companies has surged.

In mid-November, taking advantage of the popularity of "StarCraft: Uprising", Blizzard released a new game "StarCraft Online". This is the second online game released by Blizzard after "World of Warcraft".

This game became extremely popular as soon as it was released. It was an instant hit!

Overnight, the number of game downloads on the Battle.net platform reached 5 million, which is astonishing!

"StarCraft Online" can carry out various activities in the game's sandbox universe, including mining, industrial manufacturing, scientific research, financial trade, exploration and archeology, etc. The types of activities that players can engage in increase with the learning of related skills. Even if the player is not online, the learning of skills in the game is carried out at any time.

It is worth mentioning that this game is a collaboration between Blizzard and Chronos Industrial Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The game has a large number of NPCs (non-player controlled characters). These NPCs all have super high artificial intelligence and are competing with other players. When communicating, trading, or even developing wars, it is impossible to tell whether the other party is an NPC or a player.

This is the characteristic of "StarCraft Online" and attracts a large number of players.

The number of NPCs in "StarCraft Online" is much greater than the number of players, but these NPCs can be bribed or even conquered. If you are very good, you can even conquer many NPCs as your own army and dominate the game, such as being a bandit and robbing merchant ships or even armies, or occupying NPC planets...

The map of "StarCraft Online" is very large, with countless planets, as well as Zerg and Protoss, so players will never get bored of it.

Li Zetian has been investing in the development of virtual helmets that are often written about in novels. It would be great to apply virtual helmets to "StarCraft Online" in the future. Players drive spaceships, lead armies to launch wars in space, or drive mechas to fight. Oh~~this feeling is really unimaginable!

Of course, the virtual helmet seems impossible, but Li Zetian has money and wants to make the impossible possible! In Li Zetian’s view, every human stimulus or reaction will generate brain waves, including taste, hearing, vision, touch, etc.… I think the core technology of the virtual helmet should be brain wave technology!

Regarding the research on brain waves, Kronos Hospital and Gene Technology Company have been studying and have achieved good results. For example, wearing a brain wave device on the head can control the flight of an airplane by issuing brain wave commands.
