The Middle East is in turmoil, but fortunately, both sides have exercised the most basic restraints.

Or in other words, for the time being, failed to fight.

But obviously, no one will think that such friction is a trivial matter, especially in the current situation, when Iran attaches great importance to the uranium enrichment project, and even expects to rely on this project to gain hegemony in the entire Middle East world in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the United States will fight against the enemy, tensions will rise, oil futures prices will rise, and the entire U.S. economy will finally get precious respite.

In the Western University of Technology, Chen Nian looked at the report in front of him helplessly, and said to Chen Guo:

"In the end, let them seize this opportunity, no way, their foundation is too thick, if you want to kill at once, it's really not that easy."

Chen Guo, who was opposite, nodded and replied:

"That's certainly not easy. The thick foundation you said is the biggest reason. ”

"In fact, if you think about it, there are still a lot of breakthrough points for them, such as resource monopoly, technology monopoly, talent monopoly, and military monopoly."

"Even if this time, if they don't play the oil card, they can still play the grain card, the steel card, and even the patent card, anyway, before their hole cards are completely out, it is indeed impossible to defeat them."

"After all, they have a lot of chances, and we have almost no chances."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

For decades, the country's development has been trembling and treading on thin ice.

It is undeniable that we have made some mistakes in the process of development, but most of them have been corrected in a timely manner.

Otherwise, if a mistake had reached the level of the United States, we would have fallen long ago.

Therefore, most of the people who advocate the strong endogenous power of the US economy and the resilience of their country do not realize one thing:

The so-called resilience is nothing more than a manifestation of the behavior of depleting the base in exchange for the longevity of the country.

Looking at the historical experience of the past ten years, the other party's heritage is declining, but our heritage is rising.

When the two curves intersect, that's when we switch from offense to defense.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian opened his mouth and said:

"I really envy them, they have so many opportunities for trial and error."

"And we, not once."

"I can't envy it."

Chen Guo said with a smile.

"The opportunity for trial and error is also gambled and played again and again in the previous decades or even hundreds of years."

"If you think about it, what were we doing more than a hundred years ago?"

"We're still in retreat and closing the country, wishing Lafayette his birthday."

"Even 50 years ago, we were just founding the country and just embarking on a definite path of development."

"It's good to be able to do that to that extent."

"In the future, it will depend on you and your generation."

Chen Nian nodded solemnly, and after a pause for a moment, he continued to ask:

"So what are we going to do next? Although they have recovered, they just won't die violently. ”

"They don't have the energy to get something, so it's time for us, right?"

Chen Guo took out a document from the drawer, handed it to Chen Nian, and said:

"This is a preliminary plan, if you are interested, you can take a look at it first."

"Of course, if you have any suggestions, just mention them to me."

"However, this thing is still far from being finalized, and it is estimated that it is only for reference, so you don't have to spend too much time."

"Understood."

Chen Nian responded.

Then, he looked at the directory of documents in his hand, and after a cursory scan, he saw many familiar terms.

New energy and lithium battery development planning.

New surface ships, new submarines development plan.

Plans for the localization of large aircraft carriers.

Investment plan for rare earths and other rare minerals.

Food Security and Rural Economic Ecological Development Programme.

It can be said that this document covers almost all the directions and outlets that he really saw in his previous life.

It was at this time that he knew that the fields that had achieved results more than ten years later had already begun to be laid out at this time.

"That's good, this report."

Chen Nian sighed and said.

"It's complete, and it's in the form of a combination of punches."

"If we can implement it comprehensively, it is estimated that we will not be far from entering a period of rapid development."

"It's not a high-speed development?"

Chen Guo asked with some amusement.

"What kind of rapid development is now!"

Chen Nian pursed his lips and said:

"Not to mention nuclear fusion, we haven't even figured out large-capacity battery technology."

"Not to mention any artificial intelligence, brain-machines, carriers, and the like."

"Those things are our real ticket to the next era."

"You're going to do it?"

Chen Guo immediately became interested, and he looked at Chen Nian with blazing eyes and asked.

Generally speaking, such a question can easily be taken as a rhetorical question, meaning "You said it so easily, you can try it".

But in fact, what is shown in Chen Guo's words now is real expectations.

Because he knew that Chen Nian could really do it.

Looking at Chen Guo's expression, Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and replied:

"I'm going to do it, but it's not the time yet."

"I have just finished learning the content of interfacial materials science, and in many places, the theoretical foundation is not solid enough."

"It's a bit too difficult to switch to near-future technology now"

Chen Nian is not modest when he says this, in fact, he has also made plans on his "task manager", wanting to try to see if he can save a wave of source points, and directly point out a technology that is enough to cause a "revolutionary boost" to the current technical environment, so as to raise the "level" of his system forward through large-scale technological fission.

But unfortunately, the number of source points required by the several directions he selected was too many.

If nothing else, controlled thermonuclear fusion alone requires a staggering 1,200 source points.

Now, in addition to the number of source points brought by active learning, the average daily source point growth is only about 0.3.

How long and when will it take to save enough?

If you are so happy, you can only gain more than you lose.

It's still a matter of taking it one step at a time

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo's emotions in his heart were a little complicated.

Let's talk about disappointment, there must be a little bit - after all, Chen Nian can almost be said to be omnipotent in his heart.

But more than that, it's still gratifying.

Because, he also knows very well that no one is really omnipotent.

Chen Nian can realize his own shortcomings, which means that he has gradually matured.

Thinking of this, Chen Guo gently patted Chen Nian's arm, and then said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, you're still so young, and you have a lot of time."

"It's been a hard time, let's rest and rest."

"You're a junior in college, and you haven't enjoyed much college life."

"Don't push yourself too hard, there's a school dance party next week, why don't you go to it?"

"Don't go!"

Chen Nian rolled his eyes and replied bluntly.

After leaving Chen Guo's office, Chen Nian did not go back to his residence, but stuck in time to go to the cafeteria to eat.

After the start of school, there were more people in the cafeteria, Chen Nian searched for a long time, and finally found an empty seat, but after he sat down, he found that the person sitting opposite him was actually an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhang Rui.

However, when he saw Zhang Rui this time, his mental state seemed to be a little poor.

His beard was unkempt, his hair looked like he hadn't been washed for a long time, and his clothes were crumpled.

There is no such thing as the rich second generation before him.

Chen Nian suddenly recalled that at the end of the soybean battle a long time ago, Zhang Rui and his family were actually doing commodity futures.

Moreover, they are on the side of the four major grain merchants.

However, because he won the soybean war, he should have lost a lot of money.

But no matter how much you lose, it won't end up like this, right?

unless

He is afraid that after losing money at home, he set his sights on foreign countries.

Whether it is doing U.S. stocks, futures, or financial management and foreign exchange, this turmoil is enough to completely whitewash him.

Chen Nian didn't have the habit of beating the water dog, so he didn't bother to take care of him, just eating the food on the plate by himself.

But Zhang Rui noticed Chen Nian, and several times, he seemed to be about to speak, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it along with the food.

The two finished eating almost at the same time, and got up at the same time, in front of the dishwashing table, Zhang Rui finally couldn't help but open his mouth.

He looked at Chen Nian and said in a somewhat low tone:

"Chen Nian, are you particularly happy now?"

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically:

"What do I have to be happy about?"

"I'm glad I failed, I'm glad I proved myself wrong, it's okay if you're victorious, you've won, you're right."

"Laugh at me, I don't have anything right now, anyway."

Chen Nian's brows furrowed slightly, and he was keenly aware that the "old classmate" opposite him was probably really mentally problematic.

So, he asked:

"How long has it been since you slept?"

The corners of Zhang Rui's mouth moved, and then he replied:

"It's been a long time, but it doesn't matter, it's all over anyway."

"You're a U.S. stockmaker?"

Chen Nian continued to ask.

"I do everything in US stocks, futures, foreign exchange, CDS, that's why I lost so badly now, I have no chance to turn over, our whole family is dead"

Zhang Rui's expression was obviously in a trance, and Chen Nian even suspected that the reason why he was talking to himself was not because he really wanted to "say something", but because he was muttering under some kind of trance and emotional collapse.

This state of affairs is undoubtedly dangerous.

——

But what does that matter to Chen Nian?

So, he just replied with a little mockery:

"Do you still have what it takes to do CDS? It looks like the plate is quite big. ”

Zhang Rui smiled bitterly and replied:

"It was very big at that time, and I looked down on no one, including you."

"Now I know, you're smarter than I am."

"I heard that you have entered Chengfei's project team for an internship, congratulations."

"You are right, you are on the right path"

As he spoke, Zhang Rui staggered away with his head turned away, as if he had forgotten Chen Nian's existence and was just talking to a shadow in his heart.

Chen Nian stood there in confusion, and he didn't even know what was going on just now.

It wasn't until Li Xiang, who happened to walk by, patted him on the shoulder behind his back that he came back to his senses.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Xiang asked curiously.

Chen Nian pouted in the direction of the door and replied:

"Oh, Zhang Rui."

"I happened to be sitting at the same table as him, and he told me a bunch of things that he didn't have, and I didn't know what happened to him. Too big a blow and crazy? ”

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang said with a sigh in his mouth:

"Isn't he crazy, his family's property should have been emptied this time."

"I checked some information, before the financial crisis, their family invested more than $100 million in the financial market in the United States, including private shares, as well as various debts."

"The $100 million was all laundered in about a week, and their family now has nothing."

"That's not going to be the case, is it?"

Chen Nian was a little puzzled.

In his cognition, those who can make their assets hundreds of millions, even if they lose money or even go bankrupt, their small life will not be too bad.

After all, owing 10,000 to the bank is a father, and owing 100 million to you is a father.

No matter how much it declines, there will always be basic decency

"I didn't think it would be -—— at first, but the problem was the source of funding."

"They not only have bank loans, but also private debt."

"In addition, their shares are not clean, and I don't bother to say about the businesses that his father does, in short, the people who make money with them are some people who are on the list, or about to be on the list."

"Now that all the money is gone, do you think those people will let him go?"

"His dad has been seriously injured, and he said that he jumped off the building, but specifically. Anyway, it's still investigating. ”

"He's even more unlucky, he has a cerebral hemorrhage, and he's still in serious condition."

"Anyway, their house is completely ruined, and it's normal for him to not be able to bear it."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although this is just a tragedy of a simple family ruined because of investment failure, combined with Zhang Rui's previous performances and speeches, he feels that it is a matter of time before there is such a day.

After all, whether it is business or investment, it is the most basic requirement to look at the direction and place good chips.

You chose the side that was doomed from the start, even if it took so long to win?

Someday, don't you want to spit out everything you eat?

By this time, there would be no one left to save him.

——

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you have the ability, you will never interfere.

After all, I still remember clearly the fact that their family stood in line with Lao Mei during the soybean war.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask:

"With such a big incident, he didn't even go home?"

Li Xiang shook his head and replied:

"I went back, but soon I was back at school."

"He can't help when he goes home, and at least he can avoid those who want to mess with him at school."

"Ridiculous, right? He used to want to stay away from us, but now, he needs to rely on our protection."

Li Xiang's expression was a little disdainful, Chen Nian sighed slightly, and a thought appeared in his mind.

It was a rather cold-blooded thought, but he had to say it.

He thought for a moment, organized his language, and then spoke:

"If possible, try to arrange for some people to watch over him."

"Don't let him look for short-sightedness."

"I mean, at least don't let him, die in school."
