Chapter 64 Economic Crisis and Devil’s City (Part 1)

"With the approval of Congress, the first batch of military equipment to support Israel arrived in the Israeli capital yesterday..."

————————

"Stark Industries must be making a lot of money this time." Ranger said to Howard while eating a hot dog.

Howard curled his lips: "To be honest, I am disgusted with the decisions made by the gentlemen in this Congress."

You Qi spread his hands: "However, you can't resist, and you also know the reason why those gentlemen did what they did."

Howard pursed his lips and stopped talking.

You Qi pushed another hot dog on the side in the direction of Howard: "Let's eat something first, but we won't have a chance to eat later."

Howard rolled his eyes: "Actually, I still don't understand why you have to pull me."

You Qi chuckled: "If I said at the press conference that my company is very rich, the reporters and the audience watching the press conference would definitely not believe it.

But if you attend with me, you don’t need to answer questions, you just need to sit next to me, and those people will naturally believe it.”

Howard was even more surprised: "Didn't you tell me before that you are very confident about the financial future of this emerging industry of gaming?"

You Qi took it for granted: "Yes, I'm very confident."

"Then why do you insist on dragging me along? If your prospects are really good, there will definitely be no shortage of people to throw money at you."

Hearing this, You Qi stretched out his finger and shook it: "Tsk, tsk, no, no, no, Mr. Howard, this is the point, this is the point!

My company, my, my! Got it? I don’t allow anyone else to get involved in my company!

Therefore, my company will not be listed because I know that once it is listed, those Wall Street bugs will rush in like sharks that smell blood, and by then, I will be in a lot of trouble.

Mr. Howard, I can't guarantee what I will do at that time."

You Qi looked at Howard seriously.

Howard opened his mouth and finally sighed.

"Okay, I understand, I will support you."

"Hey, that's right. Believe me, Mr. Howard, I won't let you down."

At this moment, Izzy opened the door and saluted the two of them respectfully: "Sir Yuki, all the reporters from the press conference are here."

You Qi nodded, straightened his collar, and then looked at Howard aside: "You really don't want to eat something? The press conference will be long."

Howard straightened his collar and shook his head: "No, I'll go eat some cheeseburgers after attending the press conference with you."

Yuqi's facial features suddenly wrinkled together.

Cheeseburger, okay, that thing actually tastes good, but Yugi really doesn't like this kind of thing.

The two of them tidied up their instruments one last time, and then opened the door...

On this day, at a press conference, Yugi's company was officially established and officially made public to the world. The theme of the press conference was Yugi's first-generation game console.

A square box and two handles are all the console, and the games are installed in the cartridge.

At this press conference, the game called "Space War" on the cartridge attracted the attention of countless people as soon as it was released.

————————

When Howard came home, little Tony was holding the controller and playing the game "Space War" in front of the TV.

It is said to be a space war, but it is actually a horizontal pixel game.

An aircraft composed of dozens of pixels is controlled by the player, and then destroys the pixel aircraft flying from the other side.

To be honest, [Plane War] is more suitable for this game, but the name is too low-key. It happened that the beautiful country and the Sulian were engaged in aerospace competition recently, so they chose such a name.

Maria came over and took the suit from Howard, and asked with some worry: "Are those people in Congress giving you a hard time?"

Howard shook his head: "I am only doing scientific research now. Those gentlemen will not come to me unless necessary."

Maria frowned: "The war in the Middle East..."

Howard sighed: "We can't influence the minds of the gentlemen on Capitol Hill. We can only take it one step at a time."

When the two of them sighed, little Tony on the side started yelling.

Howard walked over and took a look, my dear, the TV screen was full of all kinds of codes. Then he looked down and saw that the handle in Little Tony's hand was only a circuit board with parts welded on...

Howard held his forehead, if that guy from Rangers was here, he would definitely slap Tony's butt swollen without saying anything.

This little guy actually dismantled the entire game published by Qi...

etc……

Dismantled...

Howard looked at the TV which was full of codes, and then looked at Tony who was lowering his head and removing the circuit board inside the handle in his hand...

Gradually, Howard smiled.

Then, he walked over and hugged little Tony, murmuring in a low voice: "Maybe you are the best person to deal with Ranger..."

————————

After the ugly country publicly announced that it would send weapons to a certain Jewish country, many countries in the Middle East, a place where war has been going on, passed a common resolution to increase oil prices.

Well, maybe this is the painstaking efforts of Chou Country. In order for so many countries in the Middle East to unite to deal with itself, Chou Country has really paid too much. He really makes me cry to death...

Well, in short, the Middle East has turned into a mess because of Ugly Country's operations.

With the rapid rise in international oil prices, the whole world has been severely affected by this wave.

Petroleum is not only used for refueling vehicles.

Petrochemical industry is a broad category.

Even rubber, lubricants, and some pesticides used in agriculture, not to mention the military, are used in daily life.

In short, this wave of oil prices in the Middle East has risen across the board due to the influence of ugly countries, and the whole world has been unlucky along with it.

After all, the Middle East is arguably the world's largest oil exporting region.

In the past, the price of oil was stable because if one company wanted to increase the price, its neighbors would sell better oil, so they would not choose to suddenly increase the price.

However, this time, due to Ugly State's operations, major countries in the Middle East directly united and collectively raised prices.

In the end, it is the whole world that is unlucky.

And when it comes to ordinary people in Ugly Country, the impact is even more obvious.

Devil City, Mayor’s Office:

John rubbed his eyebrows with a sad look on his face.

"Dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.

John stood up quickly: "Come in, come in."

The door opened, and sure enough it was Frank.

"Why did you call me here in such a hurry?" Frank was puzzled.

"Look at this." John handed a stack of documents to Frank.

Frank took it and looked at it for a while, with veins popping out slightly on his forehead: "These beasts from the military region are really good for nothing except making messes!"

What John gave Frank was a price list.

Due to geographical factors, there is definitely no shortage of seafood in Devil City, but correspondingly, there are many things that they do not have local production factories here.

So many things have to be imported.

Looking at the purchase price, which had almost increased by 50%, Frank knew why John was so frowning.

After a long silence, Frank said harshly: "We have also raised prices, and all seafood exports have increased by 50%."

Finally, Frank whispered to John: "The prices of those washing powders have all increased by 200%. If they have any objections, let them come to Devil City to find me."
