Chapter 444

No one will believe that the holocaust about the ruble was an unforeseen accident. Since Gorbachev reformed the Soviet Union economy, the layout has quietly begun. [ads: This site has a new URL, shorthand method:,.]

At the end of the 1980s, Soviet Union opened the financial market to the West without any precautions. Almost instantly, a large number of foreign banks, investment companies and even insurance institutions swarmed into the Soviet Union cities and adopted high-interest deposits. Ways to absorb more rubles from Soviet Union people and businesses than Soviet Union local banks.

At the same time, Soviet Union began the privatization reform of state-owned enterprises, and a large number of state-owned enterprises were distributed to Soviet Union nationals in the form of shares and bonds. Compared with invisible shares and bonds, ordinary people undoubtedly want to see real money, so Western investment institutions began to buy shares of state-owned enterprises in the hands of rubles absorbed from Soviet Union people.

When a large number of Soviet Union state-owned enterprises are in the hands of Westerners, the final blow will come.

From the second half of 1991, North America and Europe countries began to vigorously decline the Soviet Union economy. For a time, newspaper and the media were full of 'Soviet Union reform will inevitably go to destruction', 'Soviet Union economy is about to collapse', 'Ruble market value is seriously high The negative news such as "estimate", "Ruble needs to be revalued", etc., is in response to the saying that three people become tigers. When everyone says so, even the most determined people will be shaken, so the Soviet Union economic collapse and The panic of the ruble's sharp depreciation spread rapidly in all classes of Soviet Union.

Sell, run, hoard, snap up ...

Under the control of Western countries, this series of irrational blind follow-ups in Soviet Union domestically dragged the crumbling ruble into The Abyss.

In just a few months, the exchange rate of the ruble to USD slipped from the highest ratio of 1 to 2 like an avalanche to 112000 to 1USD. In the history of mankind, even during the most tragic period of war, there has never been such an amazing inflation, and the ruble in the hands of the Soviet Union people has almost become a pile of worthless waste paper.

As we all know, a country ’s currency is usually supported by its own gold reserves. In the case of a ruble, the Soviet Union government began to use its own gold reserves in an attempt to solve the urgent need of the domestic economy by selling gold directly. . At this time, the most serious international gold price crash in 20th century also happened ‘in time’.

After the gold price collapsed, Soviet Union wanted to export gold to cash out, but could not find any buyer to take over.

This plunge in gold prices became the last straw that overwhelmed Soviet Union. On December 25, 1991, Soviet Union President Gorbachev admitted that the economic reforms had failed completely, and successively signed a number of President orders to declare the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Republics. The world ’s only superpower that could compete with United States was wiped out at this moment.

Chris's eloquence is good. The thrilling description of this world-class game, Emily sitting next to him involuntarily put down the tableware, looked at his boyfriend with admiration, and Connelly even glared.

"So, the wealth of the entire country of Soviet Union has been snatched by us?" After Chris finished, Connelly asked curiously.

Chris shook his head: "Of course not, this is not a zero-sum game of winning and losing, but a evaporation of wealth. Soviet Union has accumulated more than half a century of wealth like a pot of boiling water heated by fire. The water was evaporated and the speculators got it. It was just some 'dewdrops' that had condensed on the lid. "

Connelly imagined the picture drawn by Chris, and said with a tongue: "That is really wasteful."

Emily around Chris also said at this time: "I think Soviet Union is disintegrated, at least everyone does not have to face the threat of nuclear war."

Eric also nodded and said: "Yeah, the big Ivan that blew up the entire Arctic Circle but scared the whole world. If a nuclear war breaks out, Soviet Union only needs to throw a few at the east and west coasts." Great Ivan's nuclear bomb, then it's all over. "

"Eric, what is" Great Ivan "?" Connelly asked curiously.

All four people were born around the 1970s. Except for Eric, the other three all showed doubts.

Eric is just related news that previous life accidentally browsed the Internet. Said: "In 1961, Soviet Union threw a 58 million tnt-equivalent nuclear bomb into the Arctic Circle. At that time, we were not born yet, you may not be very clear."

Seeing that all three had no idea about the 58 million-ton nuclear bomb, Eric thought about it. Dao: "I know how terrible the 'Great Ivan' is when you compare it. When the nuclear bomb was dropped, the bombed aircraft flew out 250 kilometers before the nuclear bomb exploded at a subsonic speed, but it was still there. The shock wave after the nuclear bomb exploded and almost killed the aircraft. In terms of conversion, the impact area of ​​this nuclear bomb reached 200,000 square kilometers. It was almost equal to the size of the two New York states. On the other hand, the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima in 1945 The equivalent of 'little boy' is only 3,000 tons of 10,000, but the ultra-high temperature at the moment of the explosion directly evaporates the bones of 70,000 people, and the subsequent death toll exceeds 200,000. It is said that the Soviet Union successfully developed a nuclear bomb of 100 million tons tnt equivalent, but because it could not find a sufficiently wide nuclear explosion test site, it did not detonate. "

When the three Chris heard Eric say this, they all showed a faint look of fear.

Eric lowered his head and gently picked up a piece of sausage and chewed in his mouth, said softly: "So, I even think that anyone who makes a nuclear bomb should be directly convicted of crimes against humanity."

Emily smiled and said: "Eric, in fact, Ein Stan himself also regretted indirectly inventing the nuclear bomb."

"But he is still guilty," Eric said.

Chris also laughed: "Eric, the tone of your speech is really like an extreme anti-war."

"I was originally, compared to war, I prefer those who are in power to fight each other to resolve disputes, bare hands, cold weapons, or revolvers, as long as you don't wage war."

At this time, the other three laughed, and Eric smiled.

Oh, this was originally a joke.

"This is for you," After lunch, two women packed up the tableware in the kitchen. Eric brought Chris to the study room and handed an Applepowerb00k140 notebook to Chris.

"This thing isn't easy to use at all, it's better to write by hand." Chris took over and fiddled.

Eric said: "I didn't let you use it for office work, I just wanted you to study it carefully. Did you know that at the beginning of the year, IBM and several other computer software and hardware companies established sn. This will It is the key direction for our next development. United States's local traditional industries have been divided up by various forces. Firefly investment is basically impossible to intervene, but the computer-related high-tech industry is still a virgin land. Think about it, throughout the 1980s. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Larry Ellison have all become billionaires. I'm sure that the development of computer technology is more than this, and there will be more opportunities in the future. "

Chris finally awkwardly opened the laptop in his hand. When he heard Eric, Chris did not refute. Eric had brought him too many surprises, which made him have a somewhat blind confidence in Eric.

"Then I will go back and take time to study, what's your next plan?"

Eric remembers that the Internet came after Clinton took office. Because the policy support of the United States government is developing rapidly, saying: "Not yet, it is still too early, at least you have to wait until next year. However, you can take the time to pay attention to the candidate for the Democratic Party of this year's election Bill Clinton. The highway plan, which is why I just mentioned sn. This network is likely to become the main carrier of the information highway. You can find some relevant information and give it to the management of Cisco, let them study the relevant technology of sn, sure Will be useful. "

The original time and space. sn is the predecessor of the Internet.

Chris silently wrote down the keywords of Bill Clinton and the information superhighway, saying: "If there is nothing else, then I will go back to New York. Also, you better find some deputies for me Papa. After all, he He is a bit older, and he is not like the energetic old man of Redstone and Murdoch. "

Eric laughed: "Of course, you do n’t have to worry about this, but he certainly does n’t want to hear you say that."

Chris shrugged: "No old man would like to hear these, but this is the truth."

Chris and Emily will return to New York by plane at four o'clock in the afternoon. Eric chatted with Chris for a while, then sent the two to leave Cliff Peak Manor.

"I have made an appointment with Jeffrey Katzenberg. I want to go to the Disney's production base to see. Do you want to go with me?" After sending the two away, Eric said to Jennifer Connelly.

Connelly shook his head: "I still can't. I just finished filming, and I'm too lazy to move around. I'll rest in the villa, you come back early at night."

Although last year ’s summer season Fox ’s “Hot Shots! Part Deux” failed, but because of its relationship with Eric, Connelly as Heroine will certainly not be greatly affected, and it will soon receive another comedy, which is expected to be resurrected this year. Released during the festival. Of course, this movie Eric did not bother to ask, his own affairs are still too busy, of course, too lazy to earn that 'extra fast'.

Eric touched the exquisite pretty face of Connelly and said: "Then stay at home. Drew and small girl recently bought two more cars, both of which are very suitable for women. If you want to go shopping, you can go Drive one in the garage. "

"Okay," Connelly heard Eric casually mention Drew, and had a bit of a snack in his heart, but did not show it.

Eric certainly found this little detail, but he did n’t care too much. He had very low demands on his women. He never imagined that he would live in harmony. As long as the women can live together, it ’s good. thing.

After Michael Eisner took over Disney, after more than seven years of development, Disney has completely broken through the original profit model of animation movies. Now Disney has not only Disney studios that produce films and animations of all ages, but also an audition. Room Film Industry. In addition, Disney has its own children's TV program, but the scale is not large, and the performance has not been very good.

Compared with the Firefly photography base of Playa Vista, the Disney's production base is smaller, but the location is still in the more prosperous Burbank.

"The story of" Aladdin "is adapted from a story about the magic lamp that can realize people's wishes in the Middle East. However, we have adapted the localization of the characters in the story, which will be more suitable for the taste of United States local audiences. In the office building of Disney Animation Production Center, Katzenberg accompanied Eric to watch the production clip of "Aladdin". Eric knew that this was one of the most famous animations of Disney in the 1990s.

After watching, Eric and Katzenberg came to the office where Katzenberg used to be. After the secretary served coffee for the two and left, Eric asked: "Apart from" Aladdin ", does the studio have any other animation plans? "

"Of course, there are many. In the past, when I met every week, I would ask the supervisors to provide five animation ideas, which were accumulated. Five or six have been determined to enter the project preparation period."

Eric asked: "Do you remember all of this, tell me?"

Katzenberg thinks the response of Eric is a bit strange, and still says: "Otherwise, I will let the planner show you for yourself, everyone knows you have a good vision?"

"This is best."

Soon, the studio secretary sent a stack of project planning books.

Eric patiently looked at each of them, and soon found the gaze he wanted. An African savannah story imitating Hamlet is the prototype of "The Lion King".

In the original time and space, "The Lion King" is not only the last glory of Disney 2D Hand-Drawn Animation, but also the most successful 2D movie of Disney. The film is just Box Office income in global is close to 1billion USD.

Withdrawing the script of "The Lion King" handlessly and handing it to Katzenberg: "Have you discussed this?"

Katzenberg took a look at it and said, "This story was proposed by Brenda.Chapman, imitating" Hamlet ", I also felt a bit old-fashioned at first, but after they made some character designs, I I agreed to it, and it has not been started yet. If you like it, you can rank it after "Aladdin" is completed. "

Eric is not too eager to express, anyway, it ’s all meat in the pot, and you ca n’t eat it early or late: "I think this story is good, you let them take the time to make a detailed planning book for me, if If it ’s good, it will raise this project to the highest priority. "

Katzenberg nodded and called his secretary a few words before saying to Eric: "So, let's go to the TV production department to see it. They recently came up with a new program idea called The Mickey Mouse Club. "(To be continued.)
