Chapter 591
After entertainment comes work. The wealth brought by work and the power brought by wealth are the greatest guarantee that you can continue to have unlimited entertainment and play whatever you want.
Abel always knew this.
After taking a short rest, I was in the office of Neon Tokyo Itamae State Guesthouse.
Abel continued to work more and more day after day - reading the briefings and issuing his own instructions or requirements according to the priority.
When I turned to a briefing provided by Smith Intelligence Group on the latest subprime mortgage and real estate related information in the United States as of June this year, I read the above information.
Abel couldn't help but sigh.
"Why..."
"The scariest thing in the world is not what you don't know, but what you know for sure is wrong."
Now he is more and more certain that the subprime mortgage crisis that would only break out in 2007 in parallel time and space will definitely break out in advance in this time and space.
The butterfly effect brought about by his big butterfly has been too strong on Wall Street, forcing these greedy vampires to urgently seek compensation from the outside world.
Subprime mortgages, something with a delicious taste and endless troubles, became their best choice, causing them to fall into this big pit earlier than in parallel time and space.
It detonated in advance the financial crisis that was supposed to break out that year, but was dragged down by the corpse of the red bear until a few years later.
Capitalist financial crises are very similar to earthquakes and tsunamis, they are unavoidable and unpredictable. Even if a few people predict it, everyone doesn't believe it, and those who believe it don't dare to lie, they can only sit and wait for it to happen.
The cycle goes on and on, prosperity must decline, this is the law of all things. Maybe deep down, everyone is really looking forward to the end of the world.
Abel is now not only the culprit who brought the end of the world to an early stage.
He is even the super villain who is waiting for the financial apocalypse to come early, waiting to exchange a piece of bread for a beautiful college student after the apocalypse.
Gee, isn't General Electric stock worth 55 cents a share? Even if you can't take full control, you can still take advantage of the crisis to make a fortune and become one of the major shareholders.
There are also Ford cars worth two dollars a share, General Dynamics worth three dollars a share, and Boeing airplanes worth eight dollars a share... Tsk tsk, even if they can't be completely snatched away from the hands of those consortiums.
We can also take advantage of the difficulties caused by the crisis to forcefully invade the core assets of these consortiums, thereby creating the truly largest consortium in the United States.
And by then the crisis will affect not just the United States, but all countries in the world.
In addition to eating a lot of high-quality domestic assets in the United States, there is also a lot of fat to eat internationally.
Except for eating them all, no one can do that. As long as 1/10 of it is eaten, the current Smith Alliance can jump to the top and directly compete with the Rockefeller & Morgan Alliance.
Looking at the latest U.S. real estate information on the briefing, I couldn't help but secretly sigh again (swallowing my greedy saliva).
The real estate market is really booming now. With 0-interest loans, unemployed people can also take out loans to buy houses and make money. This is a feast for all.
The game of drumming and passing the flowers is played with such excitement in the American real estate industry, which is both funny and sad.
Who would have thought that this feast that started in 2002 (due to his reasons was brought forward, the original time and space was 2005) would eventually develop into an economic crisis that affected the world. The subsequent impact caused many countries to collapse their finances and even go bankrupt.
Abel knew that there would be an economic crisis in the future, and he had already enjoyed the benefits. He planned to use this opportunity to make massive acquisitions and completely expand Smith's influence in the United States and even the world.
But even though he was fully prepared, he still didn't dare to be careless while drooling. This is a real society, not a fantasy. We cannot rely solely on guesses and predictions. He also needs a lot of information to confirm.
And there is something called a "black swan event" in this world. The outbreak of certain black swan events can change the course of world history.
Like more than ten years ago, who would have thought that the red bear would really collapse like that?
Obviously if it wants to, it can actually survive for at least ten more years.
Maybe after a few more years, the capitalist camp will be unable to hold on and self-destruct, and that may be another situation.
It's a pity that history doesn't have what-ifs. The so-called Wolong and Fengchu can settle down the world together.
The Red Bear got two at once, and the simultaneous appearance of a pair of "crouching dragon and phoenix chicks" like Lao Ge and Lao Qin revealed the declining fate of the empire that once made the world tremble.
Abel knew that he was not a superman and that a bullet could kill him. In this country where the commander-in-chief was killed at the slightest disagreement, no one could be too cautious.
A group of vampires who play capital operations have occupied Wall Street. After a hundred years of accumulation, they have established the status of Wall Street and established the rules of the game. If you don't have the ability to destroy the country, you can only honestly play according to their rules of the game.
Fortunately, after years of development, I am now one of them, and one of the fattest and most powerful ones. This can be considered a kind of guarantee.
After thinking about it, Abel lowered his head and wrote a few lines on the briefing, and threw it to David next to him, "Let Alan and the others follow the above, and the original plan will remain unchanged."
The butler of the Smith family nodded in agreement, smiled and put away the document thrown by the master. Later he would have it handed over to the chief advisor of the Smith Intelligence Group to implement the master's business will.
After reading the subprime mortgage and real estate briefings, the following briefing is from Texas Instruments.
That is, the new company formed after the merger of the original Texas Instruments and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
Compared with the previous briefing that made him feel a little heavy and expectant, as if it was an advance notice of a doomsday crisis, the content of this briefing made him a little happy.
It turns out that in the briefing, Texas Chaowei Instruments announced that their 95-nanometer chip process lithography machine prototype X1 has been successfully developed, which is only one month slower than the prototype immersion lithography machine TAT1150i jointly manufactured by ASML and Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and is in the process It's slightly behind at 5 nanometers. Theirs is 90 nanometers, which is a little more advanced than Texas Instruments.
Although the original Texas Instruments Company had the ability to develop and design semiconductor chip architecture, it did not have semiconductor manufacturing technology due to corporate direction issues.
Even if it existed, it would have been more than ten years ago.
On the contrary, although AMD has always been poor, in order to compete with Intel, it has always had its own semiconductor chip manufacturing capabilities, which was later its "girlfriend", namely GF Corporation, Global Foundries Semiconductor.
However, in parallel time and space, GF will not be independent from AMD until 2008, accept investment from external funds, and change from AMD's daughter to AMD's girlfriend...
In this time and space, AMD was forcibly acquired by Abel, and then merged with Texas Instruments, gaining superpowers on krypton gold.
Its own semiconductor production capabilities have therefore been greatly enhanced. Coupled with the semiconductor capabilities of Texas Instruments, a lot of buffs have been added to research and development.
Finally, it is slightly slower than ASML and Bay Semiconductor, and much earlier than Intel. It has developed a 95-nanometer semiconductor chip lithography machine prototype in advance.
At this time, the CPUs sold by AMD and Intel on the market are still 130-nanometer Sempron 64 2300 and Pentium 4 chips.
This feeling of advancing human technological progress under his own influence is one of the most fulfilling things for Abel.
He personally likes this feeling of changing the world, and believes that this way the meaning of his rebirth will be more positive.
Instead of doing bad things all day long to pick up girls and have children, although that would make him feel equally comfortable.
However, because it was a little behind ASML and Bay Semiconductor and a little later in time, Texas Chaowei Instruments felt that it could not hype it up in the media, so it kept a low profile and just informed the boss first.
Unlike the first two, after the prototype was released, global technology media reported various reports and various honors were given to them for free, which made their market value rise a lot.
Looking at this briefing that pleased him, Abel pondered for a moment, copied it, then modified a number in it, and then sent it to Rick, the president of Texas Ultraviolet Instruments.
He also made a note in the email: [It's 85 nanometers, not 95 nanometers, remember that. Go to Michael Lavin and he'll teach you how to do it. ]
Click to send.
Seeing the reminder that the email had been received, Abel nodded with satisfaction.
Presumably soon, the global technology media will report the news that Texas Advanced Instruments has launched an X1 lithography machine that is more advanced than the 1150i jointly developed by ASML and Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
What? You said Texas Chaowei Instruments' lithography machine is only 95 nanometers? Not as advanced as their 90nm?
Who said that Texas Instruments' products are 95 nanometers? It's obviously 85 nanometers!
What is the difference between 95 nanometers and 90 nanometers? There is a little bit, but you can hardly feel it when using it. You can only notice it if you put it under professional equipment and let professionals see it!
The difference in performance will never exceed 2%, which is what was stated in the briefing. But just such a 5-nanometer gap will make the party with a smaller amount very passive and become a weakling in terms of publicity.
How could Abel, who had stronger propaganda tools, allow this to happen?
Of course it means turning one's hands to make clouds and turning one's hands to make rain.
Shameless? A little bit, but Abel's approach is actually imitating the approach of the Li family of the future Han Kingdom...
In parallel time and space, it is obviously the same 7nm or 5nm process, but Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has better performance, lower power consumption and lower heat, and the average chip area has more light barriers and transistors.
Qualcomm has the same SOC architecture design. What Xingxing Semiconductor produces is Fire Dragon, but what Bay Semiconductor produces is much better. Tsk tsk... I can only say that Hanguo people are really shameless.
The people of Han could do it, and Abel thought he could do it too. And now the 2% performance gap is not noticeable at all!
90nm and 95nm, although the difference is 5nm. It's not as big as the difference between 10 nanometers and 5 nanometers. At most, it's like the difference between the first-generation 7nm process (N7) and the second-generation 7nm process in Bay Semiconductor's 7nm process.
There is a difference, but it's subtle.
Since the feelings are not obvious, what's wrong with cheating? At worst, if we invest more in R&D to catch up later, we can become a real leader!
The most important thing is that the propaganda tools at his disposal are much more powerful than those of the Han people! Europeans and Wanwan can't play with him at all. They are just two mutes. Abel is not afraid at all!
Who said that during this period, ASML had not yet unified the world, and there were still a large number of photolithography machine R&D companies in the world.
Abel, who didn't feel shameless at all, watched the briefing for more than two hours before finishing his work for the day.
When it was time to rest, he did not go to Mitsui Fuyuko and the others to rest.
Instead, they went to the State Guesthouse and stayed in the same room as the Hearst sisters.
Although new toys and new genetic materials are fun to give birth to, you cannot ignore the feelings of the "old people" around you. They will be your secretaries for a long time. Of course, you must pay a little attention to their mood.
What is combat effectiveness? This is called combat effectiveness!
