Chapter 8 News comes

 The next day, this time George did not remove the multiple shadow clones by himself. He just let the shadow clones in the school and in the woods attack each other and disperse by themselves. Because there were still two shadow clones that he had sent out to find the target.

.Fortunately, the shadow clone has the characteristic of dissipating after being damaged. But this time, George discovered something different.

Before, all the multiple shadow clones that were separated were dispersed by George himself. This time, he made the shadow clones attack each other and dispersed by himself. The instant death of eleven shadow clones was transmitted to George.

Heart palpitations are different from conveying knowledge. Sure enough, there is great terror between life and death.

In order to train himself, George decided to cancel all future shadow clones in this way.

It took George a while to recover. I don't think anyone would feel too good about being killed eleven times at once.

Just like that, the time came five days later, at noon that day. George was taking a lunch break when a memory suddenly came. It turned out to be from the shadow clone who went to Wilmington. This was the legendary message delivered by death. George thought silently,

I will remember you.

After amusing himself for a while, George sorted out the memories of this clone. In this life, this shadow clone allowed George to see the difference in the outside world in a special way for the first time.

What he saw was a kind of prosperity. In Memphis and Wilmington, high-rise buildings had appeared in the city, women on the street were wearing heavy makeup, and cars were driving through the streets.

In George's memory, this is the beginning of an economic wave in the United States, and all he has to do is seize the current opportunity.

In the memory of the shadow clone, he was in Wilmington, and finally found it, DuPont Company.

DuPont is a global enterprise based on scientific research, founded in 1802. In later generations, DuPont's business scope covered food, health care, clothing, construction, transportation and other life fields. In the 19th century, DuPont's main business was the production of gunpowder

, by 1811 he had become the largest gunpowder manufacturer in the United States.

Until 1902, when the company's president, Eugene DuPont, passed away, his three great-grandsons later bought DuPont through acquisitions and formulated a new direction development plan for DuPont. They established the Eastern Laboratory, which was

One of the earliest industrial laboratories in the United States.

In 1904, DuPont began producing varnish and other non-explosive products.

In later generations, this company's annual revenue in 2020 was more than 200 billion US dollars, and its net profit was nearly 3 billion per year.

Just when George was thinking about DuPont all afternoon, another shadow clone also sent back a message. This time George focused directly on the final result. The other company he was looking for, the American Westinghouse Company, also

Found.

The Westinghouse Company in the United States actually went bankrupt in later generations, but its former glory is undeniable.

It was founded by George Westinghouse in Pennsylvania, USA on January 8, 1886. Westinghouse Electric Company was once a Fortune 500 company in the world, with an annual turnover of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and is widely active in energy, transportation, communications, and military.

, aerospace, environmental health management fields. Hundreds of millions of households, commercial buildings, and government departments on five continents around the world are using Westinghouse's products and services.

Now George is very lucky to be able to find these two companies at once, but he is also very distressed because he has no money.

It's like the meat is in the pot, but you just don't have the tools to hold it. Of course, it's impossible to say that he will just grab it, which is unrealistic.

Calculating, George still has some money. He has more than 400,000 in the bank. If you want to satisfy your own life, that's no problem. But if you want to join these two companies, there is a big difference.

George's avatar has also inquired about these two companies locally. George's valuation of these two companies is probably hundreds of millions of dollars. Therefore, George's more than 400,000 yuan does not need to be considered at all.

But it is not impossible. Because, according to the historical development of previous lives, this summer, in August, an economic crisis will break out in the United States. This economic crisis did not end until the end of 1921, which took about 2 years. After World War I, I made a fortune.

The subsequent economic adjustment was mainly due to the weakening of "external demand". During the crisis, industrial production fell by 25%, and machine manufacturing, coal, and steel all fell by about 70%; the general agricultural production index fell by 11.4%, of which the prices of major agricultural products

It dropped by up to 70%; the unemployment rate reached a maximum of 23.1%.

This is why George found a lot of excuses to sell the farm in advance. Moreover, after the economic crisis ended, other industries have slowly recovered, but the situation in the agricultural industry has not improved much, and the prices of agricultural products have not rebounded.<

/p>

George just took advantage of this opportunity to invest money in more profitable industries.

George also has two companies, namely Coca-Cola and Best Company. The current valuations of these two companies are around US$3 million.

These four companies are companies that George has always coveted. And they are relatively certain companies. The details will depend on whether the early development goes smoothly.

After finding his goal, George stopped paying attention there for the time being. His first priority now was to finish writing and make arrangements for going to college. When there were about ten days left before the exam, George informed Ms. Ally,

They were leaving here. George gave Ellie an extra month's salary and dismissed her.

George and Ryan started packing. Because they would not come back after leaving. The houses had been sold along with the farm. There were not many things to take away. Ryan only packed a suitcase. George packed it.

There are two suitcases, one large and one small. One small one contains George's clothes, and the other large one contains some of his parents' things, including his mother's violin, several firearms collected by his father, and the whole family's belongings.

Photos and other items. There were too many items, so George told Ryan to put them in the school for the time being. After they were confirmed by the university, he would entrust the school teacher to help send them over. In fact, George put the items into Chaos Space after arriving at school.

I also made a special trip to the cemetery to say goodbye to my parents in this life.

The next day, after the two of them finished packing, they handed the keys to the person who came to collect the house. They picked up their suitcases and walked out of the door.

When he reached the door, George looked back at the place where he had lived for more than ten years. Ryan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "There is a home where there are people. You have to go out after all."<

/p>

George nodded and said: "I understand, Uncle Ryan, I promise, I will buy it back in the future."

If it weren't for the fact that the economy was really bad later, it would be too much pressure for him to bear the burden of a losing farm and ranch. In fact, George didn't want to sell it. After all, this was where he had lived for more than ten years.

place.

After getting into the rented car, George looked at the slowly receding scenery and secretly told himself that everything was just beginning and he would definitely succeed!

Ryan looked at George and said nothing.

As for the school graduation party, what does that have to do with him, George? He was not familiar with those classmates to begin with, and he only participated in various activities at school to get activity points. Now that he has got what he needs, he and the school

He said he needed to go to the test center to prepare, so he left school early.

The bus took more than three hours to arrive in Memphis. Because I knew in advance where the SAT test center was located, I directly found a hotel in that community, checked in, paid the bus, and left.<

/p>

After completing the formalities, the two of them had lunch at the hotel and went back to their rooms to rest. Because in this era, taking a car for more than three hours is really not a comfortable experience.

The next day, early in the morning, George and Ryan had breakfast at the hotel, and George asked the hotel to arrange a car. He planned to take a tour of the city today and deepen his understanding of this era.

The car door was opened by a white driver. After George got in the car, he looked inside the car. There was also a truck on the farm before, but it was the treasure of the farm and it was impossible for him to drive it for fun. It was later sold directly.

So it was his first time to ride in a car. The cars of this era looked pretty good on the outside and were decorated with wood inside. Moreover, what was new to George was seeing the driver's hand-cranked ignition, like a tractor. There was a kind of hand-cranked ignition.

Inexplicable joy.

Then I recalled the development of keys in later generations. In 1927, rechargeable vehicle batteries were used in cars for the first time. Cars suddenly evolved from the "rocker era" to the "one-button start era" - yes, you

You read that right, it was indeed "one-button start", because at that time the car key hung on the car owner's waist was only responsible for opening the door lock and did not have the ignition function. This invention not only facilitated the car owner, but also facilitated various car thefts.

Thief - after all, with the "one-button start", even the physical strength of the joystick is saved.

At this time, the rigorous Germans decided to add a lock to the ignition system for anti-theft encryption - this is the prototype of the now common key ignition. However, after all, the two keys are still a burden for the car owner, and losing either one will

Unable to drive. Therefore, the technical department of Mercedes-Benz proposed a technical improvement proposal to design two keys into one - this is actually the complete concept of modern car keys.

The most critical point that can be seen here is that rechargeable car batteries are used in cars. George remembered that rechargeable batteries had been invented in this era. This kind of battery is made of nickel, iron and alkaline solution

Made.

Keeping this matter in mind, George continued to observe the inside of the car and found another problem. That is, the car seats did not have small pillows, and the seat backs were as high as the person's shoulders, so there was no support for the head. George

He couldn't help but feel happy, this could earn him a lot of money. Then there was nothing to see in the car. Although he was very interested in cars, George felt that he would never be able to use a car that had to be cranked by hand before driving.

It’s impossible to open.

After walking around for a day, they bought a few newspapers outside, and the two returned to the hotel after dinner. After returning to nine o'clock, George did not let Ryan leave, but called Ryan to his room. He first asked Ryan to go

Collect all current car brands, business scales and production scales in the United States. Secondly, by the way, find out who owns the patent for rechargeable batteries. Thirdly, find out which newspapers can be found across the United States.<
