Chapter 91: The Planned Economic Crisis
No matter how HERO made to appease the media, the news of the 1868.4.1 bombing finally caused a sensation in the United States.
The news quickly spread all over Europe and the United States, and no one cared about how many people died, everyone was concerned about whether HERO could resume work on time.
The value of "HERO USD" has also begun to fluctuate, and no one knows if these currencies will continue to buy HERO goods.
In general, the news released by the hero company is still relatively positive, at least in the financial markets of countries around the world, the "hero dollar" is still a relatively stable foreign exchange.
The content of the memorial service speech on April 2 and the news of the normal operation of HERO's new Smith factory area also made most investors feel reassured.
Everyone in the outside world thinks that the bombing is nothing more than a coincidence,
In an abandoned area of an old chemical plant, the remnants of chemical materials exploded because they were left unsupervised.
It really looks like an "accident"
April 3, 1868
A large number of companies that have cooperated with HERO will find HERO to claim for compensation at the first time.
In order to reflect the company's heritage, HERO paid compensation according to the amount of deferred compensation in the contract without exception, and promised to postpone and pay again.
In terms of purchasing grain, HERO still uses the latest 10,000 US dollar bills to "collect all the food".
April 4, 1868,
The state government of Texas suddenly announced that HERO could not repay its debts due to huge debts and was forced to go bankrupt!
The state government of Texas intervened in the HERO bankruptcy case and began seizing HERO's property.
Why did Tom force the company he founded to bankrupt?
Didn't he know that this would lead to a rapid decline in the company's credibility?
Of course, Tom knows, but Tom has to completely destroy the original American market in order to truly control the American market.
Otherwise, by selling goods that were ahead of his time, Tom would become a member of the U.S. Senate at best, and at best a puppet president.
Tom is the one who wants to be the Emperor of America.
What's more, who can guarantee that their goods will always be ahead of the times?
As early as more than a year ago, Tom had already discovered from the letters of the secret agents that people in this era had cracked the products of the HERO company.
It's not something that Tom can influence, the Yankees and the Europeans have long gone crazy, and these madmen buy all the raw materials imported by the hero company in large quantities,
Let the most advanced chemical scientists of this era go to the cost of experiments, with a large number of experiments to speculate how to produce HERO series products.
Even the most difficult drug products to break down are recruited to participate in human experiments as soon as they are imitated.
In the efficacy test of some drugs, Yankee will even take the initiative to create "sick volunteers" with corresponding diseases.
Several chemical products extracted directly from plants were the first to be cracked by the Yankees, and the Europeans were not to be outdone, and they have cracked the production methods of some HERO products.
Tom is not completely without gains, with the help of these "indigenous" ideas,
Tom has improved many of the processes in the Smith factory area, making some of the HERO production lines more suitable for the backward industrial level of this era.
But in any case, HERO's "unique technology" began to be cracked by the outside world, and HERO's leading position in chemical technology was also in jeopardy.
Chemical fertilizers, cement, steelmaking and other chemical technologies in this timeline have all begun to develop rapidly under the "fan" of Tom's little butterfly.
A "hero" who was far ahead began to drag the "natives" behind him and continued to climb up on the "towering giant tree" of chemistry.
Tom knows that as long as the "unique technology" of HERO is not popularized in all countries around the world, this brute-force cracking will not end, and no interest group is willing to be "squeezed" by HERO company all the time relying on technology.
Especially when it comes to medicine and munitions!
So how to gain maximum control of the American market before the technology is cracked is Tom's top priority.
There is an old saying in the earth dynasty - if it is not broken, it will not stand.
As long as the American market is still running smoothly, Tom's hero company cannot really monopolize the American market, and Tom must use the economic crisis to completely destroy the American market.
Only the American market, rebuilt from the ruins, is the American market that Tom the builder can control.
Tom's original plan was that there was only one economic crisis, that is, the first economic crisis caused by Tom and Yankey's over-issuance of currency.
And this time the bankruptcy of the hero company, in Tom's plan, will lead to a second economic crisis,
The second economic crisis was the economic crisis in Tom's follow-up plan.
Tom's original intention was to take advantage of the fact that the hero company still had the advantage of production technology, and use an economic crisis to make his "hero dollar" become the standard dollar of the United States.
Let Texas State Bank, aka HERO Bank, become the Federal Reserve and control the American currency.
Tom relied on controlling the American currency to control the American market.
In the original plan, Tom did not intend to affect the world, but just wanted to engage in the Yankee currency market.
It was just Tom's "carelessness" that eventually led to the starvation of millions of people around the world and the loss of tens of millions of jobs.
Tom said that he was really caused by an accidental operation error, and Tom himself is a conscientious entrepreneur full of kindness, how could he deliberately let tens of millions of people lose their jobs?
"I let the world economy crisis just to defeat the opponent, and you are not unemployed because you are not competitive enough?"
"If you are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, eighteen kinds of martial arts, will you still be unemployed?"
"Unemployment is your problem, not the economic crisis caused by my Tom."
Tom is just a "time travel trainee" who has traveled for two and a half years, and he is still an "internship" capitalist, so I think those dead people should not blame Tom.
Of course, the first economic crisis can be used as an excuse to prevaricate the past, but what about the second economic crisis?
Isn't it just to blame Tom for knowingly committing it?
Tom said, even if you blame me, I can only eat Texas steak, drink Texas red wine, and play Texas Hold'em and say "I was wrong, but I just won't change."
This second financial crisis was deliberately caused by Tom after he tasted the sweetness of over-development and economic crisis, but felt that the "sweetness" was not big enough.
Tom is no longer satisfied with using currency to indirectly control the American market, Tom wants to completely control the American market.
Tom wants to use two economic crises to make the American market completely and become Tom Smith's plaything.
In other words, Tom was simply for his own interests, and "unintentionally" caused these two "financial storms" that swept the world.
