Chapter 1827 Express Hotel

On the evening of December 30, 1999, Han Xuan's plane landed at New York's JFK International Airport, and then took a helicopter directly to Wall Street.

Tomorrow will be the last day of this entire millennium, in which countless major events have taken place, especially since the 20 th century, when the entire human society has changed dramatically and the number of people has skyrocketed.

In 1804, the world's population was only one billion, in 1927 it grew to two billion, in 1960 it reached three billion, in 1975 it reached four billion, in 1987 it rose to five billion, on October 12, 1999, Han Xuan was still studying at Cambridge University in England, and the world's population reached six billion on that day!

This is only an approximate number, the specific number of people is definitely more than the official statistics, in some countries there is no perfect statistical agency, the population can only be estimated, more than 6 billion people have caused great pressure on the earth, with the change of lifestyle, too many resources are consumed, and even in some countries even the most basic food and clothing problems can not be solved.

Some experts say that human beings will die out in the 21st century, and Han Xuan doesn't know what will happen specifically, but it is indeed very possible, maybe an acute infectious disease will break out one day in the future, which will lead to the extinction of mankind.

Regarding the "theory of evolution", with the development of the scientific community recently, people have begun to question this truth that ordinary people believe, and more and more people oppose its existence, and even Han Xuan has begun to waver in the face of some conclusive evidence.

As early as 1859, the famous biologist Charles Darwin put forward the theory of evolution, which believed that living things were not created by God, but evolved from simple to complex over a long period of time.

Strictly speaking, the theory of evolution is still only a hypothesis, and Darwin hoped to find conclusive evidence in the future, but the evidence that could not stand the test has not been found so far.

Evolution is not an unquestionable truth, it can be revised and improved, and even overturned by more scientific theories in the future, it is worth mentioning that Han Xuan changed his understanding of Darwin's theory after reading a lot of books at Cambridge University, because he had received a wrong education before.

The word evolution is translated from "evolution", which is actually better translated as evolution, and it was originally called "natural evolution", and later became known as evolution.

Don't look at just two words, the difference is very big, "evolution" represents continuous progress from the lower to the higher, which is not in line with Darwin's original intention, and "evolution" has no purpose, evolve or degenerate in any direction, the species suitable for a certain period are fortunately preserved, and the common evolutionary tree in the book is also wrong.

If we talk about evolution, then people can't find where the end of evolution is, evolution is different, evolution has no goal, and finally can adapt to survive, it can't be said that dinosaurs and other species are low-end, they pressed on the heads of mammals for hundreds of millions of years, and then went extinct due to climate change and meteorite disasters.

As for the so-called Archaeopteryx and the like, there is no real evidence of their existence so far, Han Xuan collected a dinosaur fossil that looks like a bird last year, but it was later proved to be fake, and he was not qualified to enter his collection at all......

The New York Times has selected the list of the greatest actors, actresses, companies and so on in all walks of life, and many media have followed suit to carry out the centennial selection of the centennial, which has attracted enough attention, like a carnival celebration, and people are full of anticipation for tomorrow.

It's just an insignificant little bit of time in the long years of the universe, and the universe we live in has passed about 14 million times across the millennium, but for human beings, the short life makes people destined not to see the second time, and tomorrow is an important day that can only be encountered once in more than a dozen generations.

On the 20th, Han Xuan stayed in Los Angeles and did not go to Aomen to watch the return ceremony, mainly because he was too lazy to run around, and it took a long time to go there.

On the other hand, in 1997, Han Xuan's Snow Mountain Real Estate Company went to its next door to acquire a few pieces of land with a very good location at a low price, and Executive Anthony helped preside over the sales ceremony of a super-large building, which could see the view of Victoria Harbour from afar.

Others collect a deposit, and the house has been sold before the construction has begun, but Snow Mountain Real Estate is not short of money, and it is sold out of existing houses, and it is also a renovated kind, more than 3,000 houses were sold out in just two days, with an average transaction price of 3.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and this real estate alone brought him hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

Han Xuan knew that this was the last one before the cold winter came, judging from the local property market, the bubble was about to burst, so he hurried to get rid of it, and it can only be said that there are indeed many rich people, so many houses can be sold quickly, which scared a group of management of Snow Mountain Real Estate.

They had already estimated the size of the market, but later found that the enthusiasm for buying a house was much greater than they imagined, and finally understood why the small boss was so optimistic about the real estate industry in China, which is simply a profiteering industry that is not worried about sales, provided that the economy can develop.

With the agreement to join the International Trade Organization (WTO) becoming clearer, the rise in economic aggregates has become a situation that can be seen by anyone......

The reason why I came to Wall Street today is because Han Xuan wants to hold a meeting with a group of financial tycoons to discuss the economic environment in the next century, and the official also sent people to attend, thinking that he has not seen these people for a long time, so Han Xuan agreed to participate, and the name of the meeting is called "Federal Reserve Interest Rate Meeting", also known as the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the main content is to decide the monetary policy for the next period of time, and regulate and control the world economy through policy.

Don't think that those Wall Street bigwigs are really shrewd, in Han Xuan's opinion, they are occasionally very stupid, such as the recent Internet bubble, which trapped a large group of Wall Street investors, and when it fell, there were constantly people trying to buy the bottom, which can be regarded as helping to fill the hole.

Although Keynes believed that investment was like a beauty pageant, and it was necessary to consider how the majority of people judged, in the turning point of the market, those who have the courage to stand on the opposite side of the market must be a minority, and this part of the people may be shrewd or foolish.

I don't know what to do before, but this time they must have been fools, and on the day of the Christmas close, tens of billions of dollars poured into the Nasdaq in an attempt to buy the bottom, because various professional rating agencies upgraded a large part of the ratings of Internet companies.

And they didn't expect that in fact, as long as they had enough ability, they could actually buy the rating they wanted, this time these people were cheated by interstellar investment, and Han Xuan's subordinates planned this big conspiracy to take off their gloves......
