Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

In the late 1980s, American petroleum, coal mining, oil extraction, tobacco, and sugar refining. In industries such as medicine, a comprehensive monopoly has emerged in the competition of capital.

The consortium headed by Rockefeller hit the market with low prices, forcing small and medium-sized business owners and farmers to lower their sales prices, and eventually went bankrupt due to continuous losses, and had to sell the company or change careers.

Relying on this kind of capital competition, the rivals are defeated, and then annexation is carried out, and then monopoly, which brings excess profits to monopoly capitalists.

Just like Taotie opened its mouth wide, the monopoly consortium has swallowed up all industries, accounting for almost 95% of the market share. As a result, there are even cases where underwriters are not allowed to use other companies’ products in various industries. Regulation.

In the post-monopoly market, resource prices began to rise steadily.

Petroleum, coal, cooking oil, sugar, cotton, and even medicines are like capitalists who have calculated the average income of each person. After excluding the necessary expenses of daily life, an ordinary family can't even save more than ten dollars a month.

If there is an illness, no one will go to the hospital to buy medicine. They really can't resist it and wait for death.

And it is against this background that insurance products and credit card products, which are regarded as rubbish, have grown rapidly. The financial giants headed by Morgan have vigorously developed insurance business and credit card business, and have successfully earned Americans even 30 years later. It is a lifetime income.

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

In the American paradise that everyone thinks, the farmers and working class are almost at risk, and they can only spend their days curled up in a dark room at the end of each month.

For example, a story in economics.

One very cold winter, the little girl asked her mother why the family didn’t burn coal. The 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 lost her job, 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.

However, in fact, this is not what happened in the Great Depression, but a microcosm of ordinary families when the American economy was booming, and that era was called the Trust era.

An era in which bread will not be sold if it is moldy or thrown away.

An era where the average monthly income was three hundred dollars, but the common cold could cost a hundred dollars or die.

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

Thousands of small and medium-sized business owners and farmers went bankrupt, resulting in mass unemployment, which finally aroused the upsurge of the anti-trust movement among the American people.

Violence, crimes, and even gun-toting anti-government spread everywhere. In order to ease social conflicts, the U.S. government finally issued an antitrust bill to split up 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. Stangel, an antitrust law expert, began to investigate Microsoft.

A three-year survey showed that.

Microsoft bundles the operating system with application software, and deliberately sets up concealed codes in the operating system, hinders the operation of rival applications, and so on.

So 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 provisions of the US antitrust law 60 years ago, both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice can directly file lawsuits against companies suspected of monopoly, and the Federal Trade Commission transferred the case to the Department of Justice.

However, since Internet companies are emerging industries, the past anti-monopoly laws mainly targeted the resource industry, and there was no evidence to confirm Microsoft's monopoly.

As a result, 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 was so easy to sue, Apple wouldn't be so bad these years, and those companies in Silicon Valley wouldn't go bankrupt.

Stephen King of Anshui Fund shrugged his shoulders and said: Ross of Microsoft's legal team has a very good relationship with Justice Silberman. The previous investigation and prosecution of Microsoft by the Ministry of Justice were rejected by Silberman.

According to the antitrust law, if you want to sue Microsoft, you must first go through investigation and evidence collection, and win a judgment from the Washington District Court.

And the final trial will go to the District of Columbia.

As a giant in the Internet industry, Microsoft has almost the same influence as Rockefeller in the oil field and Morgan in the financial field, and various political relationships are intertwined.

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

Hearing the helplessness of the major directors and the legal department, Wang Jianchuan just said lightly: We don't need to worry about this issue. 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 to sue the authorities for Microsoft's exclusive and anti-competitive licensing agreements with manufacturers, preventing computer manufacturers from using Microsoft's competitors' operating systems.

Received a message from Wang Jianchuan.

Shen Jiannan didn't give too much advice. He didn't particularly care about what Apple would become after Jobs, who should have become a legendary figure, left.

Whether it is success or failure.

There will only be good effects on the Jiuding strategy, not bad effects.

As for suing Microsoft and forcing Microsoft to let go of the coercion of the system, this must be a protracted process, and the only advantage is that it can delay 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 has never been involved in other countries.

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

Enjoying the exposure of the waves and the sun, lingering day and night, every day is very happy.

A small island of twenty kilometers.

The vegetation is dense, the air is fresh, and the blue sky and white clouds that catch the eye 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 beating against the rocks, and the faint sea breeze blowing, everything is as beautiful as in heaven.

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

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

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

And at this time.

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

Suddenly, a large handful of water splashed over.

The cold water splashed on her body, suppressing Song Xiaodan's loose white shirt, revealing her extraordinary strength.

Shen Jiannan smirked and shouted: Baby, come down and play with me.

Song Xiaodan gave Shen Jiannan a big roll of his eyes, the two of them got along day and night, and they didn't know what the smirk on this guy's face represented.

Seeing that Song Xiaodan refused to come down, Shen Jiannan climbed onto the bank of the swimming pool and pushed him into the water.

Then there was another splash, and both of them fell into the pool.

The pool is not deep.

Only a few meters deep.

Being basked in the huge sun, the surface is a little hot, but the temperature is actually just right.

Comfortable without being too hot.

After swimming back and forth in the water for a while, the white shirt on Song Xiaodan's body turned almost transparent, sticking to his body hazyly, looking like a lively mermaid in the crystal clear water.

Shen Jiannan plunged into the bottom of the water and swam over.

Song Xiaodan looked at the villain who suddenly wanted to attack, laughed and hurried to swim far away.

One after another, one after another.

But swimming is a physical activity, Song Xiaodan is short, how can he run better than Shen Jiannan who can run directly in the water with his head exposed.

soon.

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

The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

that's all.

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

Suddenly, the two heads moved together and kissed.

When they separated again, and were held by Shen Jiannan to rest on the water for a while, Song Xiaodan had recovered his strength.

At this time.

Shen Jiannan let go of Song Xiaodan's waist, and plunged into the water.

Suddenly losing his support, Song Xiaodan had to step on the water to prevent himself from sinking into the water.

And underwater.

Shen Jiannan opened his eyes and slid up Song Xiaodan's clean feet little by little. Slowly, his fingers tore apart a piece of light green thin cloth with lace, and pulled it down little by little.

The poor man is too short and can only tread water to keep from sinking.

Song Xiaodan had no choice but to let the villains in the water take off their defenses.

Hula.

Shen Jiannan, who was sinking under the water, stood up.

He didn't help Song Xiaodan either, but he did bad things everywhere.

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

Song Xiaodan's whole body was limp and he couldn't lift his strength, so he took a deep breath and sank into the water.

Shen Jiannan also sank to the bottom of the water, worried that Song Xiaodan would suffocate due to holding his breath, so he took a breath of oxygen to those two red lips.

a long time.

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

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

Grasping Song Xiaodan's smooth thighs, Shen Jiannan put his hands on the back of her round waist, and lifted her onto her body.

Holding Shen Jiannan's neck tightly, Song Xiaodan blushed and let him run around in the water with her in his arms.

About to part, what shyness, cowardice and self-esteem can't match the deep affection in my heart.

Gradually, the two reached the pool.

The water surface is crystal clear, and you can see the pebbles under the water, white, red, and yellow, and it is very comfortable to step on it.

The calm water surface was rippling, and the waves rolled up the transparent pool water, with the two in the center, gradually drifting towards the surrounding layer by layer.

I don't know how long it has been.

Song Xiaodan asked, When will you return to China?

Shen Jiannan kissed her forehead and said, Maybe it will be Chinese 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 did you eat enough?

Song Xiaodan took a bite of Shen Jiannan's shoulder angrily: You can't be serious.

Shen Jiannan smiled and said nothing: 'Call me if you miss me, I'll go back to you right away when I have time. '

Overnight.

Song Xiaodan got on the flight back home.

Shen Jiannan stood at the airport, watched the plane getting farther and farther away, and slowly closed his eyes after boarding the Jiannan.

The Silicon Valley Science and Technology News released a piece of news yesterday: The NCSA organization of the University of Illinois released a browser that can display pictures yesterday, and named it MOSAIC.

The browser was made by Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, who completed the work together in six weeks during their work-study program at the National Supercomputing Center.

The Internet in the 1990s 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 had only text, no images, sounds, colors, and an interface similar to Windows.

Therefore, when he noticed the success of MOSAIC publicized by the NCSA organization in the Silicon Valley Science and Technology News, Shen Jiannan knew that the opportunity to decide one of the cores of Jiuding had arrived.

California.

A super 100 private jet landed at Auckland International Airport.

Soon, Shen Jiannan got into a car that had been waiting for a long time, and drove towards the San Francisco Bay Area.

About half an hour.

The car arrived in Santa Clara County, south of the San Francisco Bay Area.

A large orchard is surrounded by newly built high-rise buildings, which look full of vitality from a distance.

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, here 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 and computer companies.

As a result, venture capital in this region is well-received and favored by major investment banks.

soon.

It's off-duty time.

You can see the people who go to work in the major companies in the vicinity, leaving the company one after another, busy walking through the nearby streets.

Young people in their twenties and thirties are the mainstay.

Men and women, or alone, or alone.

But Shen Jiannan found that in this area where technological innovation is only discussed, there are only three kinds of people.

White, Indian, yellow.

But Chinese faces accounted for more than a quarter.

Li Qijun once said: Without Chinese, there would be no Silicon Valley.

Shen Jiannan didn't believe this in the past, but seeing that Chinese faces accounted for almost a quarter of the crowd coming and going, he had to believe it.

Inevitably, I felt a little emotional.

Yahoo and Youtube were all 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 director of the venture capital department of Nanbo Bank had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shen Jiannan's car approaching, he immediately went over and opened the door.

boss!
