The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

While everyone was still discussing it.

Shenlan Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute issued another announcement.

[After months of research, our institute has successfully converted brain waves into body language. Deep Blue Hospital will begin providing neuron-assisted mechanical prosthetic surgery on December 12. ]

The announcement was accompanied by a video of a veteran getting a prosthetic limb and returning to daily life.

This video is played simultaneously on TikTok.

The video shows a veteran who lost both legs after having mechanical legs installed.

He achieved a time of 11 seconds in the -meter dash.

"Fuck, are you sure this is really a prosthetic? He can run 11 meters in seconds, which is something a normal person like me can't do. And you noticed that he didn't even break a sweat."

"Is it possible that Deep Blue has set some limits for him? Otherwise, 11 meters in seconds is not his limit. After all, his legs are mechanical."

"What the above poster said is correct. Deep Blue must have set some limits. Otherwise, 8 seconds for the meters is normal. You have to know that those are real mechanical legs."

"According to my guess, it's not Shenlan who made the restriction, but the material of his prosthetic limbs. If better materials were used, it wouldn't be a problem, but the price would definitely be much different."

"Fuck, this prosthetic leg is no different from the real one. I can do frog jumps, climb stairs, take small steps, play basketball and even football. If I had a better pair of prosthetic legs, dunking at 1 meters wouldn't be a problem."

"Emm, Deep Blue's technology makes me feel like I'm in Cyberpunk."

"Do you think that in the future, will someone replace all of their limbs with mechanical ones in order to gain greater strength?"

"I think it's basically impossible in China. Are you willing to replace all your limbs with mechanical ones?"

"Let's not talk about whether you are willing to change or not. Deep Blue will definitely impose certain restrictions, otherwise this society will be in chaos."

At this time, the video switched to another scene, and a person without arms appeared in the video.

After installing the Deep Blue robotic arm, this veteran who lost both arms can independently cook, lift heavy objects, and do handstands. He can also do delicate tasks such as threading a needle and embroidering.

After being fitted with dark blue prosthetic limbs, they are no different from ordinary people.

"Fuck, I don't know how to describe Deep Blue's skills other than awesome."

"I'm so young, but I still need VR glasses to thread a needle. This guy can do it easily. The most important thing is that the robotic arm doesn't shake like a human hand."

"I'm going to confess my love to the girl upstairs later. She's very pretty, but her only flaw is that she lost her hands in a car accident. With the new technology, she can be like a normal person. I think my parents won't reject us anymore."

"I don't know how much it will cost to install this prosthesis. My father lost his right arm while working. With this, he will be able to return to normal."

"You'll know how much it costs on the 15th. I think it shouldn't be expensive. Deep Blue Hospital's products have always been covered by medical insurance. Even if you don't have money, you can apply for a loan."

"If nothing else, what I admire most about Deep Blue is that Deep Blue's medical charges are truly conscientious."

"Emmm, if you don't have medical insurance, it's not very conscientious, right?"

"Even without counting the medical insurance, the price of Deep Blue is still cheaper than abroad. This is an undeniable fact."

"I rarely go to the hospital now. I buy medicine on my own. If you buy the Deep Blue pulse diagnosis device, you will know that it can diagnose 99% of diseases and give you the best advice."

"Since the Deep Blue pulse diagnosis device came on the market, fewer people have come to the hospital for treatment. Our hospital used to be overwhelmed, but now we only receive 20 to 30 patients a day. My income has also decreased a lot because of this."

"The doctor upstairs couldn't be a black-hearted one, right? As the saying goes, a doctor is like a caring parent. It would be best if no one came to see the doctor."

"I wish there was no suffering in the world, I would rather the medicine on the shelf be covered with dust!"

"It's not necessarily right to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine yourself. Have you ever thought that the people in the pharmacy might cheat you?"

"People in drug stores love to sell expensive drugs. Only if you ask will you get low-priced drugs."

"Emmm, we have more pharmacies in China than convenience stores. I believe it goes without saying how profitable it is to run a pharmacy."

United States April 2019, 12.

Los Angeles.

Hyde International Travel Agency.

This travel agency can be said to be the largest travel agency in the United States.

Originally they only provided local services for Chinese tour groups, but now they have shifted their focus to cross-border tourism.

Compared with the local service of Huaxia Travel Group, sending customers to China for tourism is more profitable. The two tourism medical projects of cancer and blindness, deafness and muteness alone have made their travel agency earn a lot of money.

Marcus Holt is the travel agency's deaf-blind program manager.

At this moment, Marcus Holt is wearing dark blue VR glasses and processing daily documents.

"Dong~dong~dong"

Marcus Holt heard the knock on the door and said, "Come in."

At this time, a man in his forties pushed open the door and walked in.

Marcus Holt moved the screen away from his eyes and said hello, "Boss."

Neil Harrison grabbed a PPT and threw it to the other party.

Neil Harrison said, "This is the document that Huaxia Travel Agency just sent over. They have launched a new medical tourism project. You can hand over the project to Molly Carr. You will be in charge of this new tourism medical project, and you will get 45% of the commission from the original project."

After receiving the PPT thrown by the other party, Marcus Holt also looked at it carefully.

【Neural sensor prosthetic tourism project. 】

【Restore the disabled to normal within two weeks. 】

Clicking on the second page of the PPT, he saw the promotional video of the Deep Blue neural sensor prosthesis.

Marcus Holt was surprised and said, "Oh my god, has Deep Blue Group's technology developed to this level?"

Neil Harrison said: "This is just the beginning. In the future, they will also launch projects such as treating paralysis, heart disease, epilepsy, stroke and brain injury."

Marcus Holt said happily: "Great, it looks like I will be able to pay off the loan for the Bilbao Villa next year."

Neil Harrison smiled and said, "Marcus, work hard. The villa in Bilbao Hills is just the beginning."

This video from the Deep Blue Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine was also transmitted back to Europe and the United States as soon as possible.

This video also aroused heated discussions among countless European and American netizens.

“Is this Cyberpunk 2077 coming?”

"I just want to ask if normal people can undergo this surgery. I want to install eight arms on myself like Dr. Octopus, so that my work efficiency can be greatly improved."

"I wonder if I can still participate in track and field competitions with a pair of enhanced mechanical legs?"

"The person above is dreaming. How can we let you participate? You don't get tired from running with mechanical legs."

"Deep Blue's technology has improved again. The Deep Blue Group is truly amazing."

"Does anyone know how much it would cost to install a prosthesis like this?"

"I think it will cost at least 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars. After all, this kind of mechanical prosthesis is not cheap."

"I decided to take my wife to visit China tomorrow. My wife lost both legs in a car accident, so I can carry her legs on my shoulders." "The big brother upstairs is really talented."

September 2020, 1, China time.

The ratio of RMB to US dollar fell from 6.2 to 5.8 for the first time ever.

Although the Federal Reserve has increased the US dollar interest rate to 5.2%, it still cannot prevent the appreciation of the RMB.

The main reason is that DeepBlue Group changed its overseas settlement currency into RMB.

The annual export quota of DeepBlue Group is really too large, which has also increased the demand for RMB in the international market. Even the Federal Reserve's crazy interest rate hikes have not been able to prevent the appreciation of RMB.

However, countries that use the US dollar as their main settlement currency are in trouble.

Originally, the Fed's interest rate hike would only result in the United States unilaterally reaping the benefits from them, but the appreciation of the RMB has led to them being reaped from both China and the United States.

People in small countries like Japan, South Korea and Thailand feel that life is becoming increasingly difficult.

The Chinese people feel that their lives are getting better and better.

The appreciation of the RMB will help enhance China’s purchasing power.

This means that when the RMB appreciates, the cost of purchasing foreign goods is relatively reduced, as if the foreign goods are discounted by 70% or 80%.

In addition, it has become more economical for Hua Xia to invest in foreign countries or purchase foreign assets.

The effect of enhancing purchasing power is not only reflected in daily consumption, but also in that when citizens travel or study abroad, overseas spending is more economical, thereby improving their sense of happiness.

At the same time, this will also help ease domestic asset bubble and inflation pressure.

Domestic prices have also dropped significantly.

However, the appreciation of the RMB will bring certain negative effects.

Because the appreciation of the RMB will increase the prices of Chinese products in the international market and reduce exports, export companies may pass some of the pressure on to the domestic market, causing prices of certain domestic products to rise.

If the price transmission mechanism is not smooth, it may lead to local price spikes.

Deep Blue Industrial Park.

Office of the President of Deep Blue Group.

Because of the appreciation of the RMB, Brother Yi came to Han Chen’s office in person.

At this moment, Han Chen poured the freshly brewed tea into Yi Ge's teacup in front of the tea table.

Brother Yi took a sip from the teacup and said, "Xiao Han, you know that the RMB has risen above 6, right?"

Han Chen poured himself some tea and asked with a smile, "Brother Yi wants Deep Blue Group to conduct diversified settlement?"

After Han Chen learned that the RMB broke through 6, he knew that someone would come to see him in the next two days.

Because the continued appreciation of the RMB will have an adverse impact on domestic exports.

The boss nodded and said, "Yes, this time the RMB broke through 6 because someone was behind the scenes. The higher-ups don't want the RMB to continue to rise."

Han Chen asked, "I wonder if the higher-ups have confirmed which currencies they are?"

"The ratio of US dollars is at least 35%, the ratio of rubles is at least 15%, the ratio of riyals is at least 10%, the ratio of Japanese yen is at least 5%, and the ratio of South Korea is at least 2%." The eldest brother also told Han Chen these currencies and ratios one by one.

Han Chen said without even thinking: "I will send an email later to ask them to make adjustments."

No matter which country's money is used for settlement, it doesn't matter to Han Chen. At most, he will lose a little money in the exchange rate.

To Han Chen, money is just a number.

Even if these numbers were reset to zero, it would not have any impact on Han Chen.

The gold stored in Han Chen's home has reached 40 tons. If Han Chen sells this gold in the future, it will be enough for his next few generations to use.

The elder brother smiled and said, "Xiao Han, thank you for your support for the country."

Han Chen replied calmly, "No need to thank me. This is what I should do."

April 2020, 1, US time.

Office on the top floor of an antique church-style building at 16 1733th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Wilmer Wasseff brings Siegel Brand the latest news from Deep Blue Group.

Sigel Brand couldn't help but frown as he looked at the report in his hand.

Siegel Brand looked at Wilmer and said, "I didn't expect Deep Blue Group to change its settlement strategy. Tell them to close all their orders. There is no point in continuing to go long."

The reason why they are frantically going long on the RMB is that there are many benefits to going long on the RMB.

If China does not regulate the RMB, they will be able to harvest China like harvesting chickens in a basin. If China regulates the RMB, the market share of the US dollar will rise, and the international value of the US dollar will rise.

Then they can continue to pursue their goal of reaping the world by raising interest rates.

Of course they knew that they had no way to conquer China through this trick.

Because they have already used this trick on the chicken in the basin, not to mention that China will not be fooled by them.

Even DeepBlue, the world's largest export company, can influence the value of international currencies by changing settlement methods.

To put it simply, DeepBlue Group has become a company that can influence currency through settlement methods.

Their ultimate goal is to increase the weight of the US dollar.

In this way, they can pull the whole world into a frenzy by raising interest rates.

Obviously, Deep Blue Group has achieved their desired goal by changing its overseas settlement method.

Then they would not continue to go long, because continuing to go long would only lead to them being beaten by the short sellers in the market.

Siegel Brand was still very clear-headed about this matter.

All they have to do now is maintain their strength and wait for the right opportunity to return to America.

Wilmer Wasseff responded, “Okay, boss.”

Cupertino Fruit Headquarters, California.

CEO's office.

Cook is playing with their latest Fruit 11 phone.

It’s funny that last year Apple was still using its own ARM chips, but this year they completely eliminated ARM chips.

In order to better utilize the performance of spatial computing, Fruit had to use the Luban framework again.

After Cook connected the phone to the VR glasses, he started the spatial computing application package on the phone.

Rather than calling it a space computing application package, it is better to call it a Pangu space computing simulator. (End of this chapter)
