Rebirth starts from e-commerce

Chapter 500 I Can Calculate the Trajectories of Celestial Objects

In 1711, the British South Sea Company was officially established with the approval of Congress, and obtained the trade monopoly between Britain and South America and some islands in the Pacific Ocean.

South America was considered to be a huge business opportunity at the time.

The South Sea Company once made a lot of money through the slave trade, and now they claim to have discovered huge gold reserves in South America.

In order to develop this gold mine, the South Sea Company submitted a proposal called the "South Sea Plan" to the government in 1719.

According to this plan, the South Sea Company will use its own stock to replace national bonds worth 3160 million pounds, and a series of other conditions.

At this time, the British government was worrying about paying high interest on the national debt, so the South China Sea plan was quickly supported by the then chancellor of the exchequer.

Everyone agrees that this is a perfect solution.

The South Sea Company received a large amount of funds to develop gold mines.

State finances are eased.

Treasury bondholders could exchange their bonds for shares in the South Sea Company and share in the company's future earnings.

However, the South Sea Company did not discover a huge amount of gold mines. This was just a woven lie.

In order to get the plan passed by the parliament, the South Sea Company used the company's stock to bribe the congressmen.

In 1720, the proposal was overwhelmingly passed by Parliament.

After Nanhai Company obtained the national credit endorsement, its stock price soared.

In less than three months, the stock price rose from 120 pounds to 1050 pounds.

At that time, the whole people were frantically chasing the shares of the South Sea Company.

Make politicians forget about politics.

Doctors discard patients.

The shopkeeper closed the shop.

Workers left their posts.

Even Newton, a scientist who was then director of the National Mint, became a shareholder of the South Sea Company.

In order to meet the needs of the public for stock exchange, the company issued more than 8 new shares three times.

Shareholders are getting rich.

Seeing the huge profits of Nanhai Company, other joint-stock companies imitated its methods one after another.

Edit the concept of issuing stocks.

Absorbed a huge amount of wealth from ordinary people.

Then the bubble burst, shareholders chased to South America, and found out that everything was a hoax.

There were no gold mines or other profitable businesses.

The news spread back to China, and the stock price quickly fell back to the original point.

Newton also lost just over £2, his total earnings over the past ten years.

At that time, he could only utter a sigh of emotion:
"I can calculate the trajectories of celestial bodies, but I can't calculate the madness in people's hearts."

Newton was not only a scientist, but also the best economist of his time.

He founded the "gold standard" system, which had a huge impact on international finance and even the world economy.

He was deceived, not because he was not as smart as the liar, let alone because he didn't understand economics.

……

……

Now, in front of Luo Xiu, there is an opportunity to use the stock market to make a fortune.

Although his current cash flow is not much, he can sell Uber's equity at any time, exchange it for a huge amount of cash, and then enter the stock market to make a fortune.

Assuming that everything goes according to the original historical trend, he finally enters the market at a low point, adds multiple leverages, and then leaves at a high point, which is enough to earn terrifying profits.

However, this money will not come out of thin air, it just flows into his pocket from the hands of countless scattered people and Xiaobai.

In the process, countless stockholders went bankrupt and lined up to go to the rooftop.

He can also turn a blind eye to these and enjoy his wealth with peace of mind.

But in the eyes of the government and the state, if you, a person who doesn't play stocks very much, suddenly put all your wealth into the stock market and then leave at a high point, it is hard not to suspect that you have received inside information or other financial crimes.

You are very likely to help the trader behind the scenes to take a big blame.

What's more, such a large amount of cash entering the market will inevitably affect the original historical trend.

If you think you can escape at a high point, you are likely to be played to death by the real behind-the-scenes people.

Luo Xiu always kept one sentence in his heart:

"People can't make money beyond what they know"

The money in the stock market is beyond his cognition.

He didn't do this game. He wanted to fish in troubled waters, and he might become a big fish being fished by others.

If you want to go in and make a fortune, it is very likely that you will lose everything.

……

In fact, Luo Xiu has many opportunities to make quick money.

For example, when he was reborn in 08, the concept of Bitcoin was just proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto.

At that time, bitcoin was worthless, the price was less than 1 cent, and one dollar could be exchanged for more than 1000 bitcoins.

He can buy a bunch of bitcoins, and then lie down and wait for the appreciation, and his life will be worry-free from then on.

But is such a life really meaningful?

Take the money to buy a big house, and you will get tired of living in it for a few days.

No matter how delicious the food is, you can only eat three meals a day.

No matter how many beauties there are, it will be dull after a few shivering.

The rest of my life is just waiting to die.

It's like playing a game, opening a plug-in that locks blood and shoots headshots.

After enjoying the thrill for a short time, I also lost the fun of this game.

What's more, after buying a lot of bitcoins.

The trader behind it is likely to change to another currency for speculation, and it may be another currency that will appreciate in the future.

Bitcoin is not the only digital currency.

Anyone with a little technical knowledge can easily create a virtual currency.

Whether it is worth money depends on whether there is any hype.

People who bought a bunch of Monkey Tickets after rebirth probably couldn't wait for the Monkey Tickets to appreciate in value.

People switched to another stock to play.

And the monkey ticket in your hand is just a pile of useless waste paper.

You think you are holding billions of dollars of wealth in your hands, and then lie down and die, but the bitcoin that you have placed high hopes on has not appreciated in value.

After lying flat for several years, you lost all your skills and became a complete waste.

Luo Xiu didn't buy Bitcoin because he didn't want to give himself this way.

I don’t want to see that my opponent is very strong and business is difficult, and I remember that I still have a bunch of bitcoins in my account, so I give up the competition.

……

Before being reborn, Luo Xiu actually had a very difficult time for a while.

The family owed huge debts, and he was afraid to pursue the girl he liked because of poverty.

At that time, he would pass by a lottery store every day.

At that time, there was always a voice in his heart: Spend 2 yuan and give yourself a chance to change your life.

But Luo Xiu never stopped at the door of the store.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the welfare lottery, but that he doesn't want to give up his life.

If he walks into this shop one day, buy a lottery ticket.

It means that he has given up his efforts, his life, and handed himself over to luck.

Even if he had such ambition before rebirth, he couldn't let himself lose his ambition after rebirth.

In the game of life.

Directly transferred to level 999, covered in divine attire, and killed the big boss with one blow at the beginning.

What's next?
If you want to play this game well, you still have to start from the novice village, build a guild, form a group to push one copy after another, and finally face the big boss, stand at the top and look back on this life.

This is the correct way to play the game.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu suppressed the greed in his heart and forgot about the ups and downs of the stock.

He hopes he will be at the top one day, but not this way.
