The first year of the galaxy.

June 2nd.

As soon as the North American stock market opened, it was red.

However, this kind of redness is definitely not what Wall Street financial groups and a group of North American investors want to see.

Because the European and American stock markets are green and red down.

The Dow Jones fell 7.3% at the open and triggered the circuit breaker in an instant.

Even Warren Buffett, who is known as the god of stocks, has suffered heavy losses at this time, with medical and pharmaceutical stocks, insurance stocks, education stocks, sports stocks, and cosmetics stocks leading the decline, followed by daily chemical stocks, electrical appliances, automobile stocks, and real estate stocks.

Except for military stocks and a few companies involved in biochips and space exploration, the stocks of companies in other industries are bright red.

In fact, it is not only the North American stock market that has plummeted, but the stock markets of the world's major economies have plummeted, and the continuous plunge during the economic crisis of the previous two years seems to have come back again.

And this time, even another plastic crisis will not spur a rapid recovery of the global economy.

The town of Omaha.

The headquarters of Berkshire is located.

Buffett was in his chairman's office, listening to the reports of five analysts, and his face showed a trace of exhaustion and unwillingness.

On one side, De Salo, who was in charge of Berkshire's insurance business, reported with a solemn face: "Mr. Chairman, our company's insurance business may be greatly impacted. ”

In fact, there is no need for Desaro to say, Buffett is also clear about the current situation.

However, Buffett didn't pay much attention to this, even if his wealth fell a lot in the past two years because of high taxes and the economic crisis, he is still worth more than $42.7 billion.

Now his main concern is not how much money he can make, but how to survive.

Buffett, who was born in 1930, was 94 years old at this time, and he had prostate cancer, although it was cured with money, but it must have damaged part of his body functions.

In the past few years, he has felt more and more powerless, his body is getting worse day by day, and the feeling that it may be extinguished at any time makes him very uncomfortable.

And at yesterday's founding celebration of Homo sapiens, the kind of technology that Li Qingye said to extend the life of 42% made Buffett very eager.

However, he was desperate to find that what was easily available to ordinary employees of Homo sapiens was difficult to obtain by himself.

Unless he is willing to give up Berkshire and his fortune of 42.7 billion US dollars, and then go to Homo sapiens, he will not be able to buy the kind of symbiotic microbes that prolong his life.

In life, it is difficult to escape the words fame, fortune, power, and sex.

For Warren Buffett, these things have been enjoyed for most of his life, and now let him give up everything and go to Homo sapiens as a retired old employee, he can't do it.

He looked at Vice President Robert: "Robert, what is the status of the investigation of the genetic biology company I asked you to investigate?" ”

"Mr. President, there are three genetic biology companies that are indeed developing drugs that can rejuvenate people." Robert pulls out an investigative report from his briefcase.

Warren Buffett took it and looked at it carefully.

The three biotech companies are Aurora Genomics in California, Tiga Biotech in Florida, and Windsor Pharmaceuticals in Britain.

"Windsor?" Warren Buffett took a look at the company's shareholding structure and immediately understood whose property it was.

In fact, Aurora Gene and Tiga Biotech are also large pharmaceutical groups such as Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer.

After all, life-prolonging drugs or technologies are definitely a weapon for harvesting the rich, and how can major pharmaceutical companies give up this field.

Warren Buffett looked at the product development situation above, but his face showed a trace of disappointment.

The three companies have researched several life-extending drugs or technologies, but none of them are of high value.

Either the life extension effect is not obvious, or the side effects are serious, and even directly affect the human body, or the cost is extremely high, but the efficacy is touchingly low.

He thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed the chairman of Johnson & Johnson.

Doodle......

"Hey, Mr. Buffett, it's a pleasure to talk to you."

Buffett did not greet him, but got straight to the point: "Anthony! That Tiga Biotech is controlled by your company, right? ”

"Tiga creatures? ......" seemed to confirm something on the other side of the phone, and after a while: "Mr. Buffett is also interested in life extension technology?" ”

"Who isn't interested?"

"To tell Mr. Buffett the truth, the research results of Tiga Biotech are very average, and they cannot reach 42% of the life extension effect of Homo sapiens." Anthony explained with some reluctance.

If it were other investors, Anthony would definitely fool the other party, but Buffett is different, his network is too strong, and Anthony doesn't want to offend this old fox because of this.

Hearing about Homo sapiens' life extension technology, Buffett asked, "Anthony, do you know how that symbiotic microorganism prolongs life?" ”

"According to our researchers' guess, it is most likely some kind of artificial microorganism that can bind to organelles, and as for what it is, no one knows now, because we have not obtained any samples."

"I guess your company should be doing some research, right?" Warren Buffett, who is a well-established person, asked with great certainty.

“…… Our company has actually received a lot of special funding today, all of which require us to research life extension technology. ”

"Is the investment of 5 billion enough?"

Anthony, who was on the other side of the phone, was also very shocked by Buffett's generosity: "Mr. Buffett, I dare not guarantee that it will produce results within 10 years." ”

The implication is that if you hang up before the life extension technology is successful, they Johnson & Johnson will not be responsible.

"Don't worry, I know."

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Warren Buffett hung up the phone, although he did not join the Council of the City on a Hill, but he still knew Thomas Morgan.

He knows that the major families of the council will definitely not be reconciled, and will inevitably increase investment in the research of biochips and life extension technologies.

As for giving in to Homo sapiens, this is not the first choice of these big tycoons, unless they are forced to do so in the end.

Ordinary people can go to work in Homo sapiens, but they, the wealthy families and big families, obviously will not give up everything easily.

Can't be a dragon man, it's more painful than killing them.

For the collapse of the global stock market, although the Wall Street financial group hurts, it is not enough to break their muscles and bones.

After all, financial games such as stocks and futures, no matter how you play, the dealer will make sure that you will not lose money, but in the future, ordinary people's leeks will become more and more difficult to cut.

At present, the global pharmaceutical stocks are basically polarized.

Some pharmaceutical companies that produce ordinary drugs and medical equipment are basically falling and falling.

However, a small number of pharmaceutical companies that are involved in life extension technology have risen against the market.

At this time, after a night of discussion, the Council of the City on the Top of the Mountain finally came up with a complete set of plans to deal with Homo sapiens.

This includes completely banning Homo sapiens from entering the market of the Free Association, establishing an internal market exclusive to the Free Association, and cutting off the vast majority of private external optical cables.

In other words, from now on, the civil Internet within the Free Commonwealth will not be connected to other places.

Clearly, the Council of the City on a Hill has made a choice of necessity.

In order to avoid being poached by the Homo sapiens company, they finally came up with the housekeeping skill - pulling out the network cable.
