Rebirth of the Financial Overlord - v7 Chapter 22

In the late 1980s, the United States had petroleum, coal mining, oil extraction, tobacco, and sugar production. In industries such as medicine, a full monopoly has emerged in the competition for capital.

The consortium headed by Rockefeller hit the market with low prices, causing SME owners and farmers to lower their sales prices. In the end, they went bankrupt due to continuous losses and had to sell the company or switch businesses.

Relying on this kind of capital competition, we can bring down our opponents, then implement annexation, and then monopolize, and bring excess profits to monopoly capitalists.

It’s like gluttony opened a big mouth. The monopoly consortium has swallowed all industries and has a market share of almost 95%. As a result, various industries have even allowed underwriters to use other companies’ products. Regulations.

In the monopolized market, resource prices began to rise steadily.

Petroleum, coal, edible oil, sugar, cotton, and even medicines are like capitalists who have calculated the average income of each person. After setting aside the necessary expenses for daily life, an ordinary family cannot save more than ten dollars a month.

If you get sick, no one will go to the hospital to buy medicine. It is really impossible to resist and wait for death.

And it is in this context that insurance products and credit card products that are regarded as junk have grown rapidly. Financial giants headed by Morgan have vigorously developed insurance and credit card businesses, and have successfully earned Americans thirty years later. Is a lifetime income.

Without experiencing that era, it is impossible to imagine how crazy that monopoly is.

In what everyone thinks is the American paradise, the peasants and working class are almost precarious, and they can only live in a dark room at the end of the month.

For example, a story in economics.

One very cold winter, the little girl asked her mother why she didn’t burn coal at home. Her mother said that there was very little coal in the house and her father was unemployed again, so coal should be used sparingly.

The little girl asked her father why she was unemployed, and her mother said it was because there was too much coal.

Many people think that this is a story model in the Great Depression.

But in fact, this was not what happened during the Great Depression, but a microcosm of ordinary families when the American economy was booming, and that era was called the age of trust.

An era when bread is moldy and will not sell when thrown away.

The average monthly income of a person is three hundred dollars, but the common cold may cost one hundred dollars, otherwise you will die.

In such an era, even the economic structure of liberal capitalism is unbearable.

Thousands of small and medium-sized business owners and farmers went bankrupt, causing massive unemployment, and ultimately igniting the antitrust movement of the American people.

Violence, criminal incidents and even the use of guns have increased in various places. In order to alleviate social conflicts, the US government finally introduced an antitrust law, which split the monopoly consortium headed by Rockefeller.

It is also based on the Antitrust Act.

In 1989, due to the bankruptcy and liquidation of many emerging Internet companies in Silicon Valley, the US Federal Trade Commission, led by Mrs. Stinger, an expert on antitrust law, began an investigation of Microsoft.

A three-year survey showed that.

Microsoft bundles the operating system with application software, and deliberately sets up measures in the operating system to conceal code and hinder the operation of competitors’ applications.

So in the following year, the Antitrust Federal Trade Commission voted on whether to sue Microsoft.

But in the end, the four executive committee members voted two to two, and the vote was deadlocked.

In view of the U.S. antitrust law sixty years ago, both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice could directly file a lawsuit against a company suspected of a monopoly, and the Federal Trade Commission transferred the case to the Department of Justice.

However, because Internet companies are an emerging industry, the past antitrust laws mainly targeted the resource industry and could not confirm Microsoft’s monopoly.

For this reason, the Department of Justice has so far been unable to define whether Microsoft violated the Trust Act.

After listening to Wang Jianchuan’s words, the major shareholders present were stunned.

If Microsoft is so easy to sue, Apple will not be so bad these years, and the Silicon Valley companies will not go bankrupt.

Stephen King of the Anshui Fund shrugged his shoulders and said, “Ross of the Microsoft lawyers has a very good relationship with the officer Heberman. The previous investigation and prosecution of Microsoft by the Ministry of Justice were rejected by Heberman.”

According to the Antitrust Act, in order to sue Microsoft, you must first go through investigation and evidence collection and win a judgment from the District Court in Washington.

The final trial will go to the District of Columbia.

As a giant in the Internet industry, Microsoft’s influence is almost the same as Rockefeller’s position in the oil field and Morgan’s position in the financial field. Various political relationships are intertwined.

For this reason, the US Federal Trade Commission, led by the antitrust law expert, Mrs. Stinger, has been investigating and collecting evidence for four years, and it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Listening to the helplessness of the major directors and the Legal Department, Wang Jianchuan just said lightly: “This issue does not need us to worry about. What we have to do now is to contact other companies and file a joint lawsuit against Microsoft with the Ministry of Justice.”

That day.

Apple contacted a number of emerging industry companies and sued the authorities that Microsoft signed exclusive and anti-competitive licensing agreements with manufacturers to prevent computer manufacturers from using Microsoft’s competitors’ operating systems.

Received news from Wang Jianchuan.

Shen Jiannan did not give too many opinions. Jobs, who should have become a legend, left, he did not particularly care about what Apple would develop into.

Whether it is success or failure.

For Jiuding’s strategy, there will only be good effects, not bad effects.

As for suing Microsoft and forcing Microsoft to let go of system enforcement, this must be a protracted process, and the only advantage is that it can slow Microsoft’s expansion in the Internet computer industry around the world.

Day by day passed.

The investment industry around the world has discovered that First International Capital, which has been the most active in the financial market, suddenly seems to have disappeared, and it never engages in other countries.

And Shen Jiannan took Song Xiaodan to stay in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Enjoying the waves and sunlight, lingering day and night, every day is very pleasant.

On a small island 20 kilometers away.

The dense vegetation, fresh air, and the eye-catching blue sky and white clouds make people feel very cheerful when they look at it.

From time to time, there are flocks of birds gliding in the air, the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and the faint sea breeze, everything is as beautiful as heaven.

A small villa on the island that I don’t know when was built.

The whole body is white and there is an open-air swimming pool.

In the depths of the dense forest, everything is as beautiful as heaven.

And this time.

Song Xiaodan was sitting on the edge of the pool, drinking tea, watching Shen Jiannan swimming around in the pool shirtless.

Suddenly, a large handful of water splashed over.

Cold water stains spilled on her body, pressing down Song Xiaodan’s loose white shirt, revealing her extraordinary strength.

Shen Jiannan shouted with a smirk: “Baby, come down and accompany me to the party.”

Song Xiaodan gave Shen Jiannan a big roll of eyes, and the two got along day and night. I don’t know what the smirk on this guy’s face represents.

Seeing Song Xiaodan refused to come down, Shen Jiannan crawled onto the shore of the swimming pool and pushed people into the water.

Then there was another plop, and both fell into the pool.

The pool is not deep.

Only a few meters deep.

The surface is a bit hot when exposed to the huge sun, but the temperature is just right.

Comfortable without making people feel too hot.

After swimming back and forth in the water for a while, Song Xiaodan’s white shirt almost turned into a transparent color, attached to his body dimly, looking like a smart mermaid in the crystal clear water.

Shen Jiannan plunged into the water and swam past.

Song Xiaodan looked at the bad guy who suddenly wanted to attack, haha ​​smiled and quickly swam far away.

One chase, one catch.

But swimming is a personal effort. Song Xiaodan is short, and Shen Jiannan, who can run directly in the water with his head exposed wherever he can run.

soon.

Song Xiaodan was exhausted and was caught by Shen Jiannan in an embrace.

The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

that’s it.

Let Shen Jiannan support himself with the buoyancy of water, staring at each other.

Suddenly, the two heads got together and kissed.

When she was separated again, she was held by Shen Jiannan and rested on the water, and Song Xiaodan had already recovered her strength.

At this time.

Shen Jiannan loosened Song Xiaodan’s waist, and a fierce boy plunged into the water.

Suddenly losing support, Song Xiaodan had to step on the water to avoid sinking into the water.

And underwater.

Shen Jiannan opened his eyes and slid up from Song Xiaodan’s smooth feet. Slowly, his fingers pulled off a thin light green lace cloth and pulled it down bit by bit.

The poor man is too low and can only step on the water to not sink.

Song Xiaodan had no choice but to let the underwater villain take off his defense.

Hula.

Shen Jiannan, sinking under the water, stood up.

He didn’t help Song Xiaodan, but he was doing bad things everywhere.

A bad feeling came from the legs, getting higher and higher, spreading to the chest and then to the bone marrow of the whole body.

Song Xiaodan suddenly felt soft and unable to lift his strength, so he took a breath and sank into the water.

Shen Jiannan also sank to the bottom, worried that Song Xiaodan would suffocate because of holding his breath, and took a breath of oxygen to the two red lips.

a long time.

Shen Jiannan stopped Song Xiaodan’s waist, and the two of them showed their heads from underwater again.

The buoyancy of water makes it very easy to lift a person underwater.

Grasping Song Xiaodan’s two smooth thighs, Shen Jiannan put his hands behind her chubby waist and carried the person on her body…

Holding Shen Jiannan’s neck tightly, Song Xiaodan’s face flushed, allowing him to run around in the water holding himself.

About to be separated, how shy and cowardly and self-esteem can be worth the deep affection in my heart.

Gradually, the two reached the pool.

In the crystal clear water, you can see the pebbles laid under the water, white, red, and yellow. It is very comfortable to step on.

The calm water surface is rippling with microwaves, and the wave is rolling around the transparent pool water. With the two people in the center, with a slow beat, gradually drifting towards the surrounding layer by layer.

There are more and more ripples, and the rolling frequency is getting higher and higher.

Like a violent storm on the sea beating the waves, the water in the pool rushed crazily around, layer after layer.

I don’t know how long it took.

Song Xiaodan asked: “When will you return to China.”

Shen Jiannan kissed her on the forehead and said, “It may be the New Year.”

Song Xiaodan quietly lay on Shen Jiannan’s shoulder and said, “What do I want you to do?”

Shen Jiannan smiled and said, “Which time will I be full?”

Song Xiaodan angrily took a bite of the meat on Shen Jiannan’s shoulder: “You can’t be more serious.”

Shen Jiannan smiled and said nothing: ‘Call me if I think, I’ll go back to you when I have time. ’

One night passed.

Song Xiaodan boarded the flight home.

Standing at the airport, Shen Jiannan watched the plane get farther and farther, and slowly closed his eyes on board the Jiannan.

The Silicon Valley Science and Technology News published a piece of news yesterday: The University of Illinois ncsa organization yesterday released a browser that can display pictures and named it-mosaic.

The creators of this browser are Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who completed the work together in six weeks during their work-study program at the National Supercomputing Center.

Ninety years of the Internet was only used for academic purposes. Although the information resources were very rich, it was very complicated to use. The World Wide Web appeared in 1990, but the World Wide Web has only text, no images, sounds, colors and windows-like interfaces.

Therefore, when the ncsa organization disclosed the success of mosaic in the Silicon Valley Science and Technology News, Shen Jiannan knew that the opportunity to decide one of the core of Jiuding had arrived.

California.

A private jet over 100 landed at the Oakland International Airport~www.mtlnovel.com~. Soon, Shen Jiannan got in a long-awaited car and drove towards the San Francisco Bay Area.

About half an hour.

The car arrived in Santa Clara County in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area.

A large orchard surrounds the newly established high-rise buildings, and from a distance, there is a lot of vitality.

A hundred years ago.

This is the research and development base of the US Navy.

The first radio station in the United States with a fixed program time was born here.

Now, this is the largest high-tech base in California. In addition to the research and production of silicon-based semiconductor chip companies, it is also the headquarters of major electronics industry and computer companies.

For this reason, venture capital in the region is favored by major investment banks.

quickly.

It’s off work time.

You can see the people working in major nearby companies, gradually stepping out of the company and walking through the nearby streets.

Take young people in their 20s and 30s as the mainstay.

Men and women, either alone or alone.

However, Shen Jiannan discovered that in this area that only talks about technological innovation, there are only three kinds of people.

White people, Indians, yellow people.

But Chinese faces account for more than a quarter.

Li Qijun said before: “There would be no Silicon Valley without Chinese.”

Shen Jiannan didn’t believe this in the past, but looking at the people coming and going, the faces of the Chinese accounted for almost a quarter, but he had to believe it.

Inevitably, I felt a little emotional.

Yahoo and YouTube were both founded by Chinese, but in the end they all made wedding dresses for them.

The car stopped in front of a Face Valley technology company.

The head of the venture capital department of Nanbo Bank had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Shen Jiannan’s car approaching, he immediately opened the door.

“boss!”
