November is a very difficult month for many small capitalists and small companies.

The role of economic turmoil is intensifying and spreading to all walks of life.

Some very strange economic weird phenomena have appeared. In some places, prices are extremely high but no one has done production, and in some places, prices are extremely high but no one has bought anything.

Professors of Economics at Liberty City University: I live at such an old age, what have I never seen before? Well, I really haven’t seen this before!

Now people are very vigilant to spend money, and only the money is at ease in their hands and minds. They only buy essential goods for daily life.

Consumption levels have been falling repeatedly, and many bills and loans have been defaulted, resulting in more people leaving the streets.

This situation is inevitable that the decline in public security will be reduced.

In the past, it was at least safe on the streets of Liberty City at night. Only those alleys occasionally had freelancers who asked you to "borrow some money to spend money".

Now even the streets are not safe. Even in some neighborhoods, those wanderers gather in the streets to spend the night. Carton boxes and gasoline barrels have become markers. Hemp has become a necessity beyond food. Without this thing, they have probably gone to themselves.

It’s just like December, and colleges and universities have to take exams at the end of the year.

From December 11 to 18, Zhao Hao finally completed all the exams. With his high intelligence attributes, he didn't have much effort. It was just very complicated, such as if he had to do some mechanical skills in his place.

Of course, the worst thing is that those who study economics are already irritating. Many of them have begun to seek career change.

And just during Zhao Hao's examination, to be precise, on the 16th, five OPEC member states raised oil prices again.

Liby self-destructs Truck Ya, announcing that it will increase oil prices from $4 per barrel to $30!

He just increased by more than 7 times!

If the previous six months were more than a knife that kept bleeding in the body, then this was a fatal blow.

According to Zhao Hao's understanding, the financial collapse caused by the oil crisis has spread from Amei to the whole world.

In the middle of the month, the price of gold once exceeded US$700 per ounce, which even caused turbulence in the world's currency prices.

The world has no demand for oil at all, but there is still demand for gold, gems, rare metals. If the economic fluctuations are too huge, the world will not be able to survive alone.

This also indirectly illustrates the dependence of the inner world to the surface world.

Zhao Hao won again this time. A year ago, he had already asked Gou Quan to hoard gold.

At the beginning, there were only selling royal uncles and cultural shirts, and the amount of funds was not large. When Pipixia Company got on track in the future, the capital flow would be huge.

Even because Gou Quan often exchanges half of the company's monthly turnover for gold to save, international trade is settled in gold, which has caused slight fluctuations in gold throughout the East Coast.

Now it's time to harvest.

Zhao Hao: No wonder everyone hates capitalists, and everyone wants to become capitalists. This feeling of large-scale harvesting is really good!

But in terms of harvesting, he is all a little bit of it.

Isn’t it just that I used financial leverage to hoard tens of millions of gold?

How much benefit can you have? I will die of two or three times.

Look at those big capitalists and consortiums!

Others Zhao Hao didn't know, but he knew Elland Duke.

How did the Duke family play? They have mastered everything from banks to financial companies to physical companies, from raw materials to upstream and downstream products, and terminal consumption.

Taking advantage of this special time, I don’t know how many factories and companies are on the verge of bankruptcy have been acquired.

After this wave, there are countless monopolies in the subtle areas that are in my hands.

The benefits of your tens of millions of dollars are so beautiful, but for me, the money is already a number. What I want is to take control of some authority in this country!

The Duke family controlled part of the arms, mainly the manufacturing of gunpowder. It was the ancestral industry that the Duke family came to this country more than a hundred years ago.

Later, there were also some large-scale mechanical equipment manufacturing and chemical industry. They also invested in many high-end laboratories and had many high-tech patents in their hands, such as nylon!

The patents and production of this thing are all in the hands of the Duke family. Let’s put it this way, one-quarter of the nylon stockings in the world are made by their family. Amei’s market share exceeds 75%.

Other big families are not giving in too much, including oil, steel, communications, transportation, automobiles, etc.

At this time, Amei looked up at the sky and could vaguely see the well-dressed old gentlemen, sitting upright in the clouds, looking down at all...

At this time, Zhao Hao was different from that time when he had just traveled. He had made some money to make a meal with a book, and I don’t know how happy he was.

Now that I can't do it, I get tens of millions of knives, and I feel very happy.

However, all of them are all available. This money will soon be exchanged for a large number of mid-to-high-end extraordinary materials, intelligence, magic materials, etc.

After all, power is eternal, money is not. With Zhao Hao's even a waste of experiments and research methods, it is simply spending money like flowing water!

After the exam, the school became more relaxed and the holiday was officially launched on December 19.

The winter vacation is quite long, more than a month.

This holiday is like the winter vacation of the Celestial Empire, and it is very important.

Because Christmas is in it, it is just like the Chinese New Year in the Celestial Empire.

On Christmas Eve on December 24, Zhao Hao signed in and rewarded a prop card.

【Thick silk bandage*5】

Black Iron 5 Star Props Card

Use: Stop bleeding and stabilize the injury and restore a lot of vitality within an hour.

Note: Where can I survive and be talented? I just spent all the time others fight on bandages.

This thing is not very useful to Zhao Hao. If you have the opportunity to wear bandages, Zhao Hao himself will reply almost. However, he never has too many recovery props.

If this thing is taken into the inner world, it is possible to replace it with one or two pieces of Black Iron 5-star extraordinary props.

After all, life is only once, who is not afraid of death?

On Christmas Eve, Zhao Hao spent the day at Elena's house. The whole family was having a happy time.

Due to economic turmoil, Mr. Adams' antique auction work was a bit bumpy, but with Zhao Hao's secret help, it quickly recovered.

Ms. Sara even joined the Pipixia Clothing Department and became the design director of the women's clothing brand "Good Man".

I don’t have the ability to help the world, but I can still take care of the people around me.

Zhao Hao also "popularized" the "traditional customs" of eating apples on Christmas Eve for them with great interest.

What? Not traditional at all, and has no homophones?

You care! I just like to eat!

Besides, the custom of eating apples has spread in just one day, and it was first introduced from Pipi Shrimp Future Company.

Everyone knows that Pipixia is treated very well, and she has bought a local newspaper and TV stations often have programs. According to Zhao Hao's idea, she is already a celebrity company.

It has to be said that the power of money is indeed terrible. With the transfer of interests, the rain and dew are equally affected, and Pipi Shrimp has gained a foothold in a metropolis like Liberty City and even created its own world.

Now Pipi shrimp has a great influence. Pipi shrimp just sent apples to employees of Yi Qianlai in the morning and expressed their blessings. In the afternoon, this "traditional custom" spread in Liberty City, and the price of apples increased in the evening.

Zhao Hao was secretly observing the reactions of the area near the Psychiae Sea to this Ping'an Fruit incident.

Now Zhao Hao has set his sights on the long run and has broadened his horizons.

He has expanded to the point where he has begun to study the relationship between the psionic sea and the inside and outside world.

The black iron-level extraordinary people are basically still at the state of seeking themselves, but once they reach the bronze level, they must start to study the unity of man and nature...

Zhao Hao even used money to support the dwarf Walli, and established a psychic gun laboratory and a psychic body laboratory in the Li World.

He also sponsored the witch Carrie to set up a potion research laboratory and also formed a Witch Academy Liberty City branch.

Brother Wali attracted four or five tribes, and seven or eight acquaintances who are both technical occupants in the world, and are busy making irons, making guns, and making psychic robots. They have a lot of fun playing. Even Winston has joined in, specializing in psychic semiconductors and integrated board systems.

The witch Carrie recruited several young witches to cultivate herbs. She also used Zhao Hao's influence to establish a witch school in Liberty City.

Before, the witches had no status in Liberty City. Although some witches would be obliged to bring one or two novice witches, they still couldn't stand the establishment of a school.

Now Zhao Hao is mediating in it, the Hongmen and the Gospel Society have already agreed to the witch school, the Night Watch has always been neutral, and other small forces are not worth mentioning.

Zhao Hao's current connections have also begun to develop.

The next day, many tabloids in Liberty City reported on the "apple price increase" by Pipi Shrimp "director". It was said that Pipi Shrimp's shareholders created a "traditional custom".

But this kind of discussion was suppressed by another big news until noon.

On December 24, Big Brother Red sent 5,000 soldiers to send troops to Afghanistan!

More than one overlord was buried in that imperial cemetery.

It can only be said that the wheels of history have rolled.

News, newspapers, talk shows... All Ami's propaganda is criticizing the invasion of the Red Empire. It's just that it's just a few years since the Annan War, and I think it's a bit funny.

In the words of the fat man, that is: the crow fell on the black pig - you can't see yourself black when you see others.

This incident is already a very big deal for the world, and it is related to the international situation.

All forces do not want to see the Red Big Brother occupying the linkage point of Eurasia. Especially Europa, it is already a frightened bird.

And for the inner world, this is even more of a huge bad news.

The Red Big Brother sends troops to fight, which does not matter to the extraordinary people in the inner world. But why it sends troops has become the reason why all the extraordinary people feel uneasy.
To be continued...
