When Xu Fei, Xiaobu, and Wall Street financial tycoons sang and danced in Houston to celebrate the success of the first phase of cooperation.

Boston, Beibu Gulf.

The large-scale invasion of microbial armies has prompted many wealthy North Americans to move here, and the wilderness of what was once only an abandoned steel plant is now surpassed by Daze in terms of scale and construction under the help of massive capital.

Industrial area, storage area, business district, residential area, commercial street, arsenal, sports center, top villa complex......

And on the easternmost side of the Beibu Gulf, near the bay, there is an isolated island floating by the mountains and rivers.

Beyond the island, warships cruise.

Inside the island, the guards are heavy.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see rows of phased array radars, anti-aircraft artillery, and anti-aircraft rocket launchers.

At this moment, in a luxury villa in the heart of the island.

The third-generation heir of the Rockefeller family, that is, David Rockefeller, who has changed six hearts, is chatting with Strauss, the founder of TEP, and James, the chairman of TEP.

After three years, Rockefeller has long since lost his doubts about TEP.

Because in the past three years, the Rockefeller consortium and TEP have completed a 'capital swap'.

For example, ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil and gas company, took out 11% of the shares and handed them to Strauss, who in turn handed over 23% of the shares of TEP Motors to Rockefeller.

For example, Chevron, the world's largest energy company, took out 17% of the shares and handed them to Strauss, who in turn handed over 8% of the shares of the North American Tower Company to Rockefeller.

For example, North American defense contractors - Martin, Grumman, Lockheed, Douglas, House Electric, etc., respectively took out 5%~30% of the shares and handed them over to Strauss, and Strauss handed over 30% of the shares of United Defense to Rockefeller.

For example, Citibank offered 5% of its shares in exchange for 2% of the shares of the international supply and marketing system controlled by TEP.

Another example is that Rockefeller took shares in United Airlines, North American Airlines, Trans World Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and other companies in exchange for shares in United Express.

The remaining share swaps also include mining, metallurgy, chemicals, rubber, food, and telecommunications.

It can be said that I have you, you have me, and the two sides are as close as brothers.

But the world of capital advocates the law of the forest and plays with 'big fish eat small fish'.

Rockefeller's real goal was to swallow the TEP within five years, make it a family asset, and then sink Strauss into the sea to feed the fish.

It's just that the 'oil tyrant' that suddenly came out disrupted all plans.

20ml of crude oil base + 1L of crude oil + 10L or 20L of purified water can get 10L or 20L of crude oil.

As the saying goes, to look at the problem, we must look at the essence.

This does not mean a 10-fold or 20-fold increase in world crude oil production.

Rather, it means that science and technology have replaced crude oil in the energy sequence.

Because technology will evolve, crude oil will not.

Just like integrated circuits, from 80mm process technology, to 500nm, to 380nm, to 120nm, and then to 90nm this year, it has been improving.

Replaced to a crude oil base, no one can guarantee that after three or five years, 20ml of crude oil base + 1L crude oil can create more crude oil, and even whether tons of crude oil can be cultivated.

In this way, Mobil, Chevron, and TEP, which hold a large amount of crude oil but do not follow the automakers to sell crude oil, will have their total assets shrink significantly.

For example, in the past, 1 barrel of crude oil was 286 US dollars, and Mobil had assets of 286 US dollars.

Even if the stock plummets, the market demand remains the same, the value of the crude oil spot will not change, and the stock of Mobil will always be stable.

However, after the emergence of the 'oil tyrant', the market will soon usher in oversupply, and the value of crude oil spot will naturally collapse.

At that time, 1 barrel of crude oil costs 20 US dollars, and Mobil's assets plummeted from 286 to 20 US dollars in an instant.

That's the equivalent of throwing away 266 US dollars at a time.

This amount of money does not seem to be much, but enlarged the base, multiplied by 1 billion, multiplied by 10 billion, plus the evaporation of the company's shares, Mobil, Chevron, TEP Energy, in the end, there is only one choice, to file for bankruptcy.

Three nearly trillion-level enterprises, just say that they are gone.

Rockefeller was certainly not reconciled, so Strauss and James were summoned to discuss the countermeasures of the oil faction.

In fact, the relationship between the oil faction and the Morgan faction is quite ambiguous, otherwise he would not have supported Xiaobu to come to power.

However, in the past two years, North America has been fighting Ilahkrypton, Afghanistan, and Libya, but they have never been able to steal oil, which has made Rockefeller gradually lose patience.

In other words, supporting Xiaobu to come to power is equivalent to an investment, I can't recover the cost, why should I support you?

So the oil faction began to plot a plan for Klin's return to the White House.

However, in the world of capital, family relationships are a very complex product.

It stands to reason that the Rothschild family, which has always been at odds with Morgan and belongs to the same people of Judah, should support Kling together with Rockefeller and squeeze out Xiaobu.

However, Kling first threatened Goldman Sachs to ask the other party to hand over the shares of Oriental Enterprises, and then threatened Blackstone to make the other party also hand over the shares of Oriental Enterprises, which was equivalent to offending the Rothschilds.

Immediately afterwards, TEP Chairman James married the third granddaughter of the late Marcus family head and joined the Eastern Goldman Sachs Group, which is equivalent to competing for power and profit with the Rothschild family.

In this way, it has become normal for the Rothschild family to guard against the oil faction and collude with Xiaobu, who is engaged in military industry and industry.

Therefore, the capital situation in North America has inexplicably become: Morgan + Rothschild + Deutsche Capital VS Rockefeller.

The consequence is naturally that the dog dealers signed a cooperation agreement with Wall Street, the former for foreign trade, the latter for finance, and the two sides are mutually beneficial, and they will become bigger and stronger together.

As for the life and death of the oil faction......

The world of capital admires the law of the forest, so they don't pay attention to it.

Rockefeller said in a deep voice: "He happens to be in North America, we must keep him this time, whether he lives or dies." ”

TEP James nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "What I was waiting for was your words, last time he put me in the hospital and lay in bed for more than half a year, this time I have to lock him up first, play cage bucket for a few days to vent, and then dispose of it." ”

Strauss nodded in return.

Rockefeller was very relieved and looked at James, "How sure are you?" ”

"This time I will dispatch the most elite biochemical warriors, and it will be 100% successful."

"We don't have many opportunities."

"Don't worry."

After James finished speaking, he took out the encrypted communicator and began to deploy.

When the work was over, the three of them stopped chatting and sat in the hall and waited quietly.

Two hours later.

Rockefeller's most trusted old butler hurried in.

"The head of the family, Richard's private jet, crashed on the campus of the State University of New York, killing all 6 crew members, and it was confirmed at the scene that the pilot was Richard,."

"What?!" Rockefeller jerked to his feet.

Richard is his favorite son and the fourth generation of the Rockefeller heir.

Rockefeller was stunned for a long time, covered his chest suddenly, and looked at the old butler who came to summon the message, "Medicine!" ”

However, the old butler, who had followed him for more than forty years, stood at the door in a daze as if he had been immobilized.

Strauss and James, sitting in the hall, are in a position of holding up their coffee cups and of putting away their communicators.

At this moment, time seems to stand still.

But the clock on the wall is still moving.

Tick, tick, tick......

Rockefeller covered his seventh heart, looked at everything in front of him with a distorted face, and opened his mouth to say something, but found that the medical monitoring equipment he was wearing had lost its effect at some point, and he only had air out, no air intake.

Soon, he sat back down in the Rockefeller family, where only the head of the house could sit, and then lay on his back and closed his eyes.

Five minutes later.

The old butler woke up from a big dream, and Strauss and James also came back to their senses in an instant.

The three of them made a mess, one contacted the private medical team, one contacted the rest of the Rockefeller family, and the other provided emergency relief to the Rockefeller.

Half an hour later.

Rockefeller, one of the richest people in the world and one of the three giants who dominate the capital of the home star, is known as the oil king, and is so grieved by the death of his son that he died of a massive cardiovascular burst that underwent six surgeries.

Soon, the official websites of the oil factions, the TEP group, and many Boston businesses lost their color.

……

Houston, Leifei Tech Sports Center.

After two days, the Rockets are back on the court against the Lakers who came from afar.

The Lakers in 02 have completed three consecutive championships and are so strong that they are lawless, not only with the OK combination of Black Mamba and Big Sharks, but also with Fox, who makes more money than he plays, Walker, the rebounding maniac of the 96 golden generation, and a large group of carefully selected rookies.

It can be said that the rocket has no chance of winning.

Xu Fei didn't drag O'Neill into a small alley and beat him up because of the 'Kirov Big Shark Paint' problem as before, so that the other party couldn't play, but asked the enhanced version of the big tall man to give O'Neill at least ten hot pots, otherwise he would take him to experience the hot pot in person tonight.

Even if Da Yao didn't participate in Lao Bu's family banquet, he knew the reputation of the adults, and from the beginning of the game, he stared at O'Neill tightly, like a stray dog preparing to bite, which can be called preoccupied.

In the second quarter of the game, O'Neal couldn't bear it and stopped picking a pick.

With his status as a top star, he secretly asked the referee to give him some privileges, but the president of the NBA league is in the VIP box, and Wall Street Capital also intends to give Dagao more opportunities to facilitate American companies to explore the Eastern market.

So near the end of the second quarter, O'Neal left the court with six fouls, aggrieved like a child.

Just when the capital lords in the VIP box were laughing, the news of the death of the oil king came, shocking the audience.

More news came soon.

Grief-stricken, Strauss suffered a heart attack, was admitted to Boston Hospital, and made a will designating TEP Chairman James as the sole legal heir.

Strauss was once just a bum, with no family, no children, and it was no surprise that James was taken seriously.

The problem is that James is both absolutely ruthless and ruthless, not only the big financier of North American overseas bases, but also the head of North American light weapons research and development.

Now that the oil king has died suddenly, and the fourth-generation heir of the Rockefeller family has been in a plane crash, it is equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, and the future is bound to rely on the TEP group of 'you have me, I have you'.

The TEP Group is in the hands of James, and there is also James' shadow behind the Boston New Consortium, United Express, the North American Rifle Association, and many northern universities.

This is equivalent to the birth of a 'new capital giant', which is no less important to North America than the heads of Morgan and Rothschild.

Xiaobu and the Wall Street financial tycoons brushed their faces together, and they no longer had the smile they had before.

The crowd even suspected that the death of the oil magnate and his son, as well as Strauss's hospitalization, were all set up by James.

But no one dared to express their suspicions, because they would really die, including Xiaobu.

Xu Fei was also very worried.

After all, his feud with James is known all over the world.

From the promotion of James, to James' reciprocation, to the fact that both sides are their masters, to the two sides turning against each other, to the two sides hurting each other, there are all traces to follow.

Now that James is in danger, Director Xu is in danger.

Xu Fei immediately got up and motioned to the fourth secretary who came to deal with the contract, "Let the T-type business plane fly over, and I'll leave tonight." ”

Xiaobu wanted to keep and say something about the scene, but in the face of characters at the level of Morgan and Rothschild, he could only ...... in the end Get up and contact Air Force One.

What for?

Go to the Bai Pier.

Fortunately, I helped James promote the HDMI interface before, and the two sides ate and drank nonsense, and played in Las Vegas for a few days, so they have a certain emotional foundation.

……

The death of the oil tycoon, the shock caused by the North American capital circle, is tantamount to a super tsunami.

July 11th.

TEP Group publishes financial statements, announcing a stake in Mobil, a stake in Chevron, and a stake in Martin.

July 12th.

The New Boston consortium announced its stake in Citibank, Grumman, Lockheed, Douglas, and House......

July 13th.

United Express announced that it has reached a comprehensive cooperation with United Airlines, North American Airlines, Global Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, etc., to establish an 'International United Express Company' to provide paid express delivery services for any customer anywhere in the world.

July 14th.

Harsco Steel Grating, a subsidiary of United Defense, acquired 16 steel companies, 12 coal companies, and 7 rare metal companies in North America.

FMC Food Chemical Machinery Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of United Defense, acquired 21 agricultural machinery plants, 17 fertilizer plants, 5 chemical institutions, and 3 medium-sized ordnance companies in North America.

July 15th.

Affected by the 'oil tyrant', the stocks of Mobil and Chevron continued to fall, and James announced that TEP Laboratories has developed a 'graphite X lubricant' that can effectively repair worn metal components and extend mechanical life.

At the same time, it was announced that it would reverse the main business of Mobil and Chevron and vigorously develop the new lubricant industry.

In less than a week, although Mobil and Chevron suffered heavy losses in crude oil stocks, they changed their lives against the sky due to the newly launched lubricants and kept their total market value unchanged.

Of course, Mr. James, who was so angry, did not forget his own commander, and through the TEP website, he blatantly offered a reward of 1 billion US dollars and hired killers to launch crazy revenge on Director Xu.

And Director Xu, who has returned to Daze......

Municipal Hospital, Psychological Counseling Department.

"Director, I've been dreaming and laughing until I wake up lately."

"Mr. Xu, our country is very safe, don't be too stressed."

"There's no pressure, it's just that I fell asleep and suddenly woke up laughing."

"I understand."

"You don't understand."

“……”

……

The summer of '02 was extremely hot.

Compared with previous years, the temperature has risen by at least 3~5 °C, and has exceeded 41 °C several times.

Walking on the central street with 24 lanes in both directions, you can see the heat wave that distorts your vision all around.

Xu Fei led the mechanical vicious dog, bought two old popsicles, and ate one person and one dog while stepping into the underground passage.

In an instant, a trace of coolness swept through the whole body, and the originally sleepy spiritual head immediately stood up.

And when you take the rail car to the West District, you will see rows of game companies.

These companies used to be the gamers' guild of legendary games, and then the guilds made money, hired technicians, and became game distributors, or game developers.

Some companies have the ability to act as an independent agent, some companies have the ability to develop games independently, and some companies can only take charge of a certain area and then join forces with other companies to launch new games.

These games, no matter how big the map, no matter how good the plot, no matter how wonderful the operation, have one thing in common: eat the graphics card.

The game launched in May can be played with mainstream graphics cards on the market.

The game launched in June has a lag on the mainstream graphics cards on the market.

The games launched in July, including the old games after the update, are no longer available with mainstream graphics cards on the market.

But if you buy Octopus's X-series discrete graphics card, the above problems can be solved.

At the same time, in order to help 'small screen' players get a better experience, Razor Technology has put on the shelves a cheap blind version of the LED display.

This is a strategy to defeat competitors.

In other words, the promotion of LED screens is harmful to the eyes, and the number of people who buy LEDs will definitely decrease in the future, and they will buy XLED instead, and their own sales will not go up?

In addition, Razor Technology also launched a projector + projection screen, but for commercialization, the resolution of related products is too low, and further development is needed to form a player market.

And the emergence of X-series graphics cards, the most uncomfortable is not computer manufacturers, but home game console manufacturers.

For example, Nintendo angrily scolded Director Xu, saying that he polluted the entire game industry with light effects.

"It's clear that you don't understand the happiness of light effects!"
