Chapter 55 The Rise of the Money Empire

After Chen Bin "explained" his ability, he gave his suggestion: "Let's get back to the point. If you want to restore the future to the original prophecy as much as possible, then you just need to replace Ginny in the book with Lockhart, and then let Harry try to follow the content of the book. I have fought with Lockhart before. His magic power is lower than that of a third-year student, and he knows nothing about dark magic. He is most suitable to be the holder of the diary."

Old Dumbledore couldn't wait to open the prophecy book and read it at a glance.

This book is of course not the same as the original, but Isabel tried her best to restore the content, and used the Spring and Autumn style to write the forgotten details. However, this hardcore Harry fan still added some encyclopedia information and background setting collection content that he had read in his previous life to the prophecy book, so each book is much thicker than the original.

Chen Bin thought about it, this might not be safe enough, so he took out the first episode with only Harry's vision.

The next day, in a commercial building in the business district of London, Chen Bin came to this strange office for the first time. This is the financial company registered in the name of Isabel - Weiguo Isa Investment Company.

Sitting in front of the desk is an official from the Securities and Investment Commission, who is questioning Chen Bin's company for allegedly violating a series of financial laws.

Chen Bin received a letter from the Ministry of Magic through Old Deng a few days ago, which is this big trouble.

The fact that Ross was not punished by the British proves that he did not violate the law.

Chen Bin guessed that the Muggle government wanted to severely punish domestic companies that also speculated on the pound, but found that this company actually belonged to a long-standing magic family.

Finally, they followed the International Statute of Secrecy to notify the Ministry of Magic and delivered the letter to Chen Bin.

To put it bluntly, he got the support of the Ministry of Magic and Old Deng, which made this questioning very child's play, and even the time and place were decided by Chen Bin.

Before talking about Black Wednesday, let's talk about how the United States became rich!

As we all know, Europe is just a route to discover the New World, because America has indigenous people.

There were hundreds of millions of people living in North America. The colonists implemented extermination policies through genocide and germ warfare, and then wrote in textbooks that America was discovered and developed.

The establishment of the United States was to get free rides from France and play a consumption confrontation with the British army, and finally let Britain believe that the supply line could not afford it.

What is oil and cooking? None of them have anything to do with the United States. Don't believe it? The dentures of the first generation of the president were pulled out of the mouths of black slaves. The four heads of the president's head mountain also adopted a genocidal policy against the Indians. The Constitution was signed by only 12 states and 39 people. Tell me what kind of cooking oil is this?

You know, plants such as potatoes, corn, peppers, and tobacco were domesticated through the agricultural technology of the indigenous Indians. The Europeans at that time did not light up the breeding and domestication technology tree! That is to say, the Indians were civilized people in the cold weapon era, and everyone could communicate.

However, the United States did not cook oil with the civilized indigenous people, but instead engaged in genocide.

The United States absorbed its colonies into the United States, sent troops to seize a large area of ​​Mexican territory, and also fought against the British Maple Leaf Country, but was beaten to the point of burning down the White House.

During this period, the United States could only export resources and was still the world's largest debtor country. It was not until the end of the Civil War that they established an industry-based tone.

In the following 100 years, the United States was still very backward. In addition to its large industrial scale, its technology and military strength could not catch up with the European powers.

Its turning point was selling necessities in the two wars, turning from the largest debtor country to the largest creditor country, and also accepting a large number of European talents to build the foundation of a strong country. It was not until after World War II that it climbed the technology tree and opened up the gap with Europe.

After World War II, the United States assisted Europe and created a Bretton Woods monetary system at the same time, making profits more than fifty times that of World War II.

The United States claimed to have 70% of the world's gold and would issue equivalent US dollars, that is, every 35 US dollars is equivalent to one ounce of gold, with no limit on exchange.

Joining this system can implement foreign exchange liberalization, capital liberalization and trade liberalization, and also get assistance from the Marshall Plan, Europe is no longer so hostile to American goods.

Twenty-seven years later, the problem also came.

The United States has spent all its wealth in wars and climbing the technology tree, what should it do?

Modern people will definitely say to print silver paper. However, at that time, as long as the currency was over-issued, every 35 US dollars could not be exchanged for an ounce of gold.

At this time, the United States gave up this gold exchange rate and defaulted! The United States has a big fist, who can force it to pay the original price?

Without gold support, and others do not recognize that the US dollar is supported by GDP, the United States relies on the hardest fist and announces that oil fields that are not its must also be priced in US dollars, and you must buy its currency before buying oil.

The US dollar has been given a new value again, oil is soaring, and the US dollar has risen again.

From then on, the US dollar continued to be strong, and the United States continued to use the US dollar to buy goods from various countries.
