Into Unscientific

Friends who are familiar with Newton should know.

In addition to the academics of physics and mathematics, Mr. Niu also has an extraordinary obsession with money.

For example, his original intention to become a professor of mathematics was because the salary of a mathematics professor was relatively high-he wrote this matter in his correspondence, and he did not feel embarrassed at all.

Another example is that he later served as the director of the mint, also in order to get money frequently.

In addition, Newton is actually a senior investor.

And it is also a huge leek in the history of world stocks.

That was the first snow in 1720 AD, which came later than in 1719.

The snow-covered UK seems to be depressed, but the stock market suddenly exploded, and there was a call for "running into the market" in the society. Many people even borrowed money to increase leverage to speculate in stocks.

Mr. Niu, who was in the laboratory at that time, couldn't sit still anymore. For the first time, he took out 7,000 pounds of capital and bought a stock tremblingly.

As a result, the old bull Ouhuang was possessed, and the stock price quickly doubled to 14,000 pounds.

Lao Niu was still sensible at that time, so he accepted it as soon as it was good, sold the stock, and secured 14,000 pounds, which was safe.

However, it didn't take long, watching the stock market getting hotter and hotter, Mr. Niu committed the problem of being greedy for money again.

So in April 1720, Lao Niu raised a large sum of money to re-enter the market and bought one of the hottest and most rising stocks at that time:

Stocks of the British South Sea Company.

However, this time, Mr. Niu was very sad to be a non-chief, and bad luck followed.

Not long after Newton's position was full, in June 1720, the British Parliament passed the "Anti-Bubble Company Act", which imposed policy restrictions on companies such as the South Sea Company.

As soon as the bill came out, the stock market was suddenly negative, and a catastrophic stock market crash broke out in the UK:

The stock price of Nanhai Company, whose original stock price was above 1,200 pounds, suddenly plummeted to below 500 pounds, and continued to paddle.

Throughout the British stock market, stockholders were in mourning, and the people were in dire straits.

Does this scene look familiar?

So why do we say that history is actually a reincarnation?

all in all.

The stocks in Newton's hands were also cut in half, so he had to leave the market with a 20,000 pound cut, and then said such a classic quote to the world:

"I can calculate the motions of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." (I can calculate the motions of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people)

Then the 20,000 pounds at that time was converted through some price conversions, and when it came to the mouth of the marketing account, it became the bizarre title of Newton's sudden loss ranging from 30 to 60 million.

In fact, the value of this money is about 5 million, because a considerable part of it was paid by Mr. Niu with manuscripts, not all in cash.

The line of sight returns to reality.

At this time, although Newton had not yet grown into a strong leek, and the old cow was still just a calf, his pursuit of money was more persistent. According to the normal historical track, after the calf quarreled with his mother, In three months, he would move to Freddy's house.

During the period, I cut down on food and clothing, and even robbed a few elementary school students. Living expenses are indeed a problem.

If you can get a reward for raising Xu Yun for a few days, then this is a very cost-effective business.

Anyway, there is no more than a pair of chopsticks, or a fork, and Xu Yun will come back after doing some work for this part of the ration—if it doesn’t work, he will use his clothes to pay off the debt.

According to Maverick's visual inspection, the clothes on "Fat Fish" probably won't be much lower than the boots.

Of course.

This is an extreme situation, and the students Mavericks are not so thick and black right now.

Then Maverick thought about it and said:

"Fat Yu, it's fine to keep you for a while, but there is one thing I need to make clear to you first:

The manor you see is my family property, but due to some more personal reasons, I am currently living with my uncle.

This house was originally a forest garden house, and the area is only so big, so if you want to live here."

Xu Yun looked at Maverick's gaze on the floor, and vaguely understood something, and then said:

"I have to make the floor, right?"

"Bingo!"

Maverick snapped his fingers, then thought about it, and added:

"I can lend you a quilt for the floor. The quilt is stuffed with rush grass, and it is very comfortable to sleep on.

I can also take care of the food problem, twice a day, but you have to pay a penny a day for board and lodging.

This fee can be withheld from the pair of shoes until it reaches a guinea, but any more than that puts your clothes as collateral—until you join the family and get the money. "

After Xu Yun listened quietly, he made some calculations in his heart, and then sighed secretly:

Fortunately, it is the youth version of the patriarch, black enough!

At this time, it was 1665, and the most prestigious pound sterling did not appear until 1694.

Currently in circulation in the UK is a metal currency called the guinea coin, which has been issued since 1633.

According to the exchange rate, one guinea is equal to 21 shillings, or 252 pence.

Of course.

In the next few years, as the price of gold soars, the purchasing power of Guinea Coin will also increase, and it will be meaningless to convert it at that time.

And in this day and age, what is the annual income of an average British family?

0.65 guineas!

Even a teacher earns about 1.8 guineas a year.

Priests need to be higher, and can reach four guineas or higher.

According to the price given by Xiao Niu, assuming Xu Yun lived with him for a year, he would have to pay 360 pennies.

That is about 1.5 guineas for 'food expenses'.

Really kill pigs.

But the price is expensive, but Xu Yun couldn't refuse the price, or Newton's proposal.

After all, the Black Death is currently raging in London, and there are not too many refugees and tyrants who take advantage of the opportunity.

Going outside to wander alone, not to mention whether there will be a chance to develop a relationship with Mavericks in the future, if he can live normally for three days, he will be considered the Emperor of Europe.

Don't think that the thing of Yi Zixiang cannibalism and selling children and daughters only happened in ancient China, and it was even worse in ancient Europe during the period of war.

Therefore, no matter whether it is emotional or reasonable, Xu Yun can only choose to be stabbed by his own patriarch:

"No problem, I accept your proposal."

Only then did Xiao Niu nodded in satisfaction, and then said:

"Very well, I'll give you a knife later, and you can make a wooden dinner plate yourself.

Also remember to engrave your name on the corner, and you will use it to serve your meals in the future—it’s not that I don’t give you a plate, but that there are only a few wooden plates at home, and outsiders can only make tableware by themselves. "
