Chapter 482 Collective Breakdown, Old Morgan Dies and His Soul Disappears

May 1, 1996, was International Workers' Day.

Wang Yifei is organizing her savings.

In addition to the nearly 150,000 yuan in fixed deposits in her family bank, she also has her own secret stash.

The funds for this slush fund mostly came from relatives such as Wang Jianchao, Zheng Baoyin, and Wang Meili.

Although these relatives don't give much money each time, only a few thousand or ten thousand yuan.

However, Wang Jianchao and the others will not let Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli know.

Okay, actually, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli just turned a blind eye.

Because every time we regularly check Wang Meili and her colleagues' personal accounts, we always find some problems.

That is why Wang Yifei and others often cannot explain the source of their money.

But in fact, Wang Duoyu knew perfectly well where the money came from.

So, by saving and saving, Wang Yifei's savings amounted to more than 58,000 yuan.

Now she's thinking of depositing the money into a bank and registering an internet mobile payment account so she can link it to her bank card and shop via her phone.

There are also online shopping platforms in China such as Amazon and Taobao, which have been around for several years.

However, these shopping platforms were previously only available on computers, and there were no mobile internet applications for them.

Applications from the pseudo-smartphone era did not have a wide user base.

Besides, the internet speed isn't fast enough, and with half the screen and half the keyboard, the shopping page doesn't look good at all.

Therefore, many people prefer to use a computer to shop online rather than using mobile internet.

Wang Yifei is like that. After experiencing a Huachen smartphone, she wanted to have such a convenient internet life even more.

Why?

Game top-ups and online shopping!

The latest game from Dolphin Games Group is especially fun.

Temple Run!

It's available on Huachen phones, and it's really fun to play.

This game is so much fun, you can get hooked on it instantly.

"But I'm only nine years old, I can't get a bank card, sigh."

Being too young to apply for a bank card is also a frustrating thing.

As for linking her parents' bank cards, wouldn't that mean her parents would know about every single transaction?
just forget it.

What a hassle.

She sullenly put the money away in her savings account, got up, and left the bedroom.

But then she saw her father beckoning to her.

"Sisi, come here, let's talk."

"Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?"

As soon as Wang Yifei sat down, her father's words made her heart race instantly.

“I haven’t been paying much attention to you for the past two weeks, and you’ve just let yourself go, haven’t you? When you got a new phone, you promised me that you wouldn’t play on your phone for more than an hour a day and no more than three hours on weekends. You agreed so readily then, but now you’ve gone back on your word. Qianqian, is this how you treat your father?”

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued to ask:
"You're going to pay a heavy price for trampling on my trust like this."

"Dad, I don't, I do it every day."

She tried to argue, but her father waved his hand and said:

"I won't produce any evidence, lest I embarrass you. I was in seclusion for seventeen days, and starting from the second day of my seclusion, you spent more than five hours a day on your phone, including four weekend days, when you spent more than eight hours a day on your phone. Am I right?"

what?
Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei looked terrified.

She couldn't understand how her father knew such precise numbers.

So she blurted out instinctively:

"Dad, did you install a surveillance camera in my room?"

"Are you stupid, Wang Yifei? Do I need to resort to such methods?"

Wang Duoyu chuckled and shook his head, then continued:
"In a couple of days, I'll talk to Dolphin Games Group and ask them to develop a game anti-addiction system. Also, all online customers will need to register their ID cards. This way, we can prevent kids from playing games for too long."

"Dad, did the game company tell you?" Wang Yifei was dumbfounded.

I never expected her father to have such power, and that the game company could actually know her game time data. That's terrifying!
In any case, she hadn't anticipated this step.

"Haha, you think too much."

Wang Duoyu denied it, and then said:

"Starting tomorrow, your daily study time will increase and your entertainment time on your phone will decrease. I will also ask your mother to take you out more often."

"Whether it's hiking or running, you have to get involved."

At home, only Wang Yifei is like this now, addicted to mobile games and unable to extricate herself.

The older members don't, because they have developed a habit of self-discipline and don't become overly addicted to mobile games.

Wang Junhong didn't even feel anything for mobile games because they were too simple and far less interesting than his math.

In an instant, Wang Yifei felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

But she was powerless to resist, because her father was not consulting with her, but informing her.

"Hmph, when I grow up, I'm going to play games every day."

After talking with Wang Yifei, Wang Duoyu stopped paying attention to the matter.

Liu Xiaoli personally took over the supervision of the children.

Actually, Liu Xiaoli is quite busy these days.

From time to time, he would take Bai Doufu to Xu Quan Hua’s house to play with Guo Guo, but more often he would call Xie Xiao Mei and ask her to bring Guo Guo to the island in the middle of the lake.

Bai Doufu is indeed very happy every day now that he has a playmate.

She used to clamor to go to kindergarten every day, but now she doesn't clamor to go to kindergarten as much anymore, because Guoguo is her best playmate.

Motorola headquarters building in Schoumburg, Illinois, USA.

"Fuck, they sold 15 million phones in just half a month? How is that possible? Have all the consumers gone crazy?"

The executives were furious and extremely angry.

Compared to the first-generation Huachen mobile phone, which cost $1,989, the current Huachen smartphone costs $2,499.

It's almost $500 more expensive.

Too expensive!
However, even with such an expensive phone, six million units were sold in the North American market within half a month, which is simply outrageous.

Are all Americans that rich?
Isn't it said that everyone is broke right now?
So poor!

It was all fake all along.

Everyone is very wealthy, but they lack advanced technology products, so no one is willing to pay for them.

On the contrary, now that they have encountered a groundbreaking smartphone product like Huachen Mobile, it has been widely accepted by everyone, and people are willing to pay this huge sum of money.

It's simply insane.

So many units were sold in the North American market, and many more were sold in other global markets as well. In just half a month, the total global sales exceeded 10 million to 5 million units.

Based on an average price of $2,200, then 15 million mobile phones would generate a total sales revenue of $33 billion.

How terrifying!

So it's no wonder that Motorola's top management collectively broke down.

Huachen Mobile has made all the money, there's no room for other companies.
They raked in a staggering $33 billion from the global market in just half a month. Even if the Federal Reserve's printing presses were to burn out, they might not be able to print that much money.

too frightening.

We have to target Huachen Mobile and smear this mobile phone company.

Otherwise, Motorola and other mobile phone companies would have no way to survive.

Ericsson, Samsung, Huaxin Mobile, and other mobile phone manufacturers also fell silent at this time.

In particular, the management of Huaxin Mobile believed that they should not continue to sit idly by and wait for their fate, but should take the initiative.

As the head of Huaxin Company, Chen Baoxi made the most important decision: to hold a press conference in September to announce their company's latest smartphone.

"We'll issue a public announcement now to raise awareness and anticipation, and let consumers wait a bit. Huaxin Company has built up a reputation over many years, and we're sure to have many loyal customers."

Other members of the management team were quite dissatisfied with the September release date. However, Chen Baoxi had already made up his mind; after all, to compete with Huachen Mobile, he had to maintain appearances, right?

Otherwise, if Wang Duoyu intervenes, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

Although Huaxin Company was originally founded by Wang Duoyu, he has not managed it for almost ten years.

Compared to the Want Want Group, the difference in their relationships is obvious.

Following the announcement by CEFC, reactions from the global mobile phone industry have varied.

Huaxin, a mobile phone giant, is now actively moving towards smartphones, indicating that the future will definitely belong to smartphones.

This is the call of the times; it seems that the only way to achieve a leapfrog development is to find a different path.

new York.

Inside a manor villa.

Inside the luxurious room, old Morgan was puffing on a Cuban cigar.

This Cuban cigar is indeed very strong and flavorful.

"Huachen Mobile sold 15 million mobile phones in just half a month, generating over 33 billion US dollars in revenue?"

After hearing this, old Morgan immediately laughed.

This revenue figure is truly astonishing. If Huachen Mobile were a listed company, its stock price would definitely soar once this news was announced.

"Send someone to inquire. It would be best if we could acquire them, but even if we can't, we should still take a stake. If the European capital isn't willing, then this time we'll prioritize investigating them."

"European capital is too good at making money. They control a lot of emerging industries and don't let us get a drop of soup. They have really gone too far and should be taught a lesson."

"By the way, the Super Dollar case has been going on for six or seven years now, and it's time to end it this year. We can't let it drag on any longer, otherwise the dollar's hegemony will be brought down."

To be honest, old Morgan's advice was quite insightful.

Because in just one year, counterfeit money rings sold more than $200 billion in counterfeit currency into the market, even though the Federal Reserve changed its chairman and replaced the dollar with the latest version in September, it was to no avail.

The counterfeit money ring has a global network of connections, and it seems they have secured many important relationships that allow them to obtain the latest versions of US dollars in advance.

This is simply unbelievable.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has injected more than $300 billion in base money into the global market.

All of this adds up to more than $500 billion in new capital in the global financial market in just one year.

Judging from the inflation rate in the United States, it is estimated to have exceeded six hundred billion US dollars.

Such terrifying inflation is indeed quite alarming.

Therefore, if the counterfeit money ring cannot be eliminated, it will be a huge blow to the entire dollar hegemony system.

At the same time, these shareholders behind the Federal Reserve will no longer be able to use the dollar to inject liquidity and allow their total wealth to continue to increase.

Yes, what Morgan just said wasn't for ordinary people at all.

He was only concerned with whether he could put some money in his own pocket.

Upon hearing this, Robinson Stillman said:

“We all understand the logic, but where exactly is this counterfeit money ring? We've been working on it for the past few years.”

"Last year, we even targeted Japan's six major conglomerates, and as a result, we plundered a huge amount of wealth from them. It seems that they haven't completely cleared their names yet, have they?"

"The British financial group, the French financial group, and the Russian oligarchs are also suspects."

This is possible for any multinational giant.

In 1996, there were simply too many multinational corporations around the world to guard against them all.

The great wave of economic globalization has brought them, Americans, a taste of success, so they are fueling it from behind the scenes.

But now they feel that economic globalization is not so good.

Because this obviously makes them feel extremely uncomfortable.

The counterfeit money ring is a thorn in our side; we'll feel incredibly uncomfortable as long as we don't get rid of it.

"Do you think there's a way to get the counterfeit money ring to come forward on their own?"

William DuPont suddenly spoke up.

His outlandish idea was met with unanimous ridicule and mockery.

What methods can be used to get counterfeit money rings to come forward?

Nicolas Mellon's brows furrowed deeply, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he slowly said:

"Gentlemen, I believe the simplest approach is to incite infighting within the counterfeit money ring."

"The rewards for each of our publicly announced missions are still too low. I think it shouldn't be 500 million, but 10 billion US dollars, divided into several parts, and we should be spending a fortune to acquire valuable assets."

"An attack from both inside and outside, with psychological warfare as the top priority, to complement other actions, may be effective."

"Since the counterfeit money syndicate has been using this dark world to help them process their counterfeit currency, why don't we take this opportunity to prepare and plant our own informant?"

Did they plant a mole in the counterfeit money ring?
Haha, I've tried it before, but it never worked.

It seems that the counterfeit money group has its own methods for eliminating dissidents and identifying so-called traitors and moles.

It seems that the rumored machine for testing truth from falsehood has indeed fallen into the hands of the counterfeit money syndicate.

“That’s a good idea, but what kind of people should we infiltrate the counterfeit money ring?” John Rockefeller nodded in agreement.

Morgan and the others also cast curious glances their way.

Nikolaus Mellon said:
"First, we must confirm that the person we've placed has sufficient loyalty. We must also control his family and friends. Second, we must give him enough compensation for his mission; otherwise, he can easily be bribed by the counterfeit money ring."

"Finally, I think this time we should assign someone who seems ordinary but actually has exceptional abilities to be the mole."

What is an ordinary person?

It's the kind of ordinary person who, if lost in a crowd, has absolutely no advantage whatsoever.

However, for an ordinary person like this, it would be almost impossible to infiltrate a counterfeit money ring.

Because counterfeit money rings need top-notch talent, or at the very least, exceptional sales skills.

So it doesn't seem to apply to ordinary people.

"Hmm, I think it's pretty good."

Old Morgan gestured with the hand holding the cigar, and said:
"This plan is not bad. Let the think tank refine it further. If there are no problems, arrange for someone to execute it, but they must be people who meet the recruitment standards of the counterfeit money group."

"The counterfeit money ring has remained at large because perhaps each of them has a family, and their families were arranged to live together to facilitate control by the counterfeit money ring."

"Or perhaps there are other weaknesses or vulnerabilities that the counterfeit money ring has leverage over. In short, this relationship is very secure, and there's no possibility of betrayal."

"Therefore, I think the mole plan should be further improved before it can be implemented, otherwise it is easy to end up with nothing."

These old guys have put in a lot of effort for this counterfeit money ring.

At their age, they should have retired long ago.

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to step forward and offer their help.

The Federal Reserve is the culmination of their life's work, and of course they don't want it to be destroyed like this.

The old guys chatted for quite a while before finally ending the meeting.

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and as expected, the unexpected still occurred.

As expected, Huachen Mobile rejected JPMorgan Chase's acquisition proposal, and even the equity investment agreement was rejected.

The listing plan was also rejected by Dai Ronghua.

Huachen Mobile has its own launch plan and does not need anyone else's help.

It's worth noting that Huachen mobile phones are backed by the Want Want Group, which has a reputation for having 'European capital'.

Want Want Group has a subsidiary, Maple Leaf Holdings Group, which has a large number of subsidiary financial companies.

Financial companies such as Raptor Fund, Maple Tree Capital, and Summit Global are all globally renowned financial firms.

With such a large conglomerate backing it, Huachen Mobile naturally doesn't need other capital to help it complete its IPO.

As for when Huachen mobile phones will be launched?
Haha, even giants like Facebook and Amazon haven't gone public yet, so Huachen Mobile is naturally in no hurry.

After going public, you won't have as much freedom.

If they keep dragging it out, they won't need to go public in the future.

After all, many companies in the US don't go public; these are the real big companies, the real big shots.

"Execute the investigation order."
