As America's financial brain, the Fed's status in the world is unquestionable.
Their every move will cause strong reactions across the market. From the mainland of America to the distant country of China, this is the case.
This agency was only established in 1913, and its power has been expanding over the past 100 years.
And with every deep-seated financial crisis of capitalism, its power will increase significantly.
Therefore, there have been various conspiracy theories surrounding the Federal Reserve for so many years.
I believe that there is a real person behind the Federal Reserve. He is not one person, but a group of people.
Similar remarks are widely circulated in Amerikan, and you can even see clues about the Federal Reserve conspiracy theory in the Chinese financial news agency "Currency War".
Conspiracy theorists seem to find a lot of evidence to prove this.
For example, the Federal Reserve Act did not actually pass the consent of Congress. The Senate voted that year without reaching a quorum.
On the day of the vote on the Federal Reserve Act, the House of Representatives passed the bill by a vote of 298 to 60, and the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 43 to 25.
The number of missing senators that day was 27. Even if these 27 people were added, the Federal Reserve Act would not be overturned.
There are also claims that the Federal Reserve Act was formulated in secret meetings between Wall Street bankers and several senators.
The main source of this statement is mentioned in Edward Griffin's work "The Creature of Jekyll Island", which was also a best-seller in 1994.
Edward Griffin is a well-known conspiracy theorist. He believes that cancer, AIDS, etc. are all conspiracies, created to scare mankind and weaken the concept of the middle class.
Most of the rumors surrounding the Federal Reserve in the market are rumors, and their authenticity is questionable.
But a few points are certain. Among them, the Federal Reserve is a private central bank, consisting of twelve regional reserve banks, with more than 70 member banks behind it.
The Fed has always refused to disclose the makeup of its shareholders.
Under the Freedom of Information Act passed by Amerikan in late 2018, the Federal Reserve's regional reserve banks are required to disclose the equity holdings behind them.
Judging from disclosures at the end of 2018, the top two banks behind the New York Federal Reserve Bank among the twelve regional reserve banks are Citibank and **** Bank.
These two banks account for nearly three-quarters of the entire Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
There is no doubt about the importance of New York to the entire Americen. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the most important of the twelve regional reserve banks of the Federal Reserve.
What is very interesting is that during the Great Depression of 1907, it was Morgan who injected funds and credit into the trust institutions and national banks at that time, and finally successfully withstood the financial crisis of 1907.
The financial crisis of 1907 directly led to the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
There is no conspiracy theory behind the Federal Reserve, and there is no actual controller. All they are doing is conspiracy.
Raising and cutting interest rates again and again, policies that are nominally designed to maintain low levels of inflation actually exacerbate inflation further, and fake monetary policies that appear to make the market prosperous but bubbles burst periodically.
It completely violates the original intention of the establishment of the Federal Reserve: to maintain the stability of the financial system and curb systemic risks in the financial market.
The real big names behind Amerikan just need to wait patiently for every ebb and flow brought by the Federal Reserve and do a good job of buying high and selling low in this more than ten-year cycle.
They do not have to interfere with the operations of the Federal Reserve at all, and they can seize wealth that is unimaginable to the outside world from all over the world to America.
They only need to know the policy in advance and guide it indirectly.
The Federal Reserve has been familiar with this method for a hundred years.
For them, Amerikan is not important. What is important is that Amerikan can protect their interests.
But this time the tide encountered Zheng Li. The new Internet wave brought by Zheng Li delayed the depression that should have happened long ago by ten years.
Just as VR technology is also in a certain dilemma, the dividends of brain-computer VR connection have been eaten up for ten years and are almost exhausted.
In addition to VR, there was another thing that hit them hard, and that was the currency bridge system provided to China by Zheng Li. This system allowed countries other than Amerika to realize currency swaps.
This seriously affects the role of the Federal Reserve around the world, just like a river that has been dammed by someone else.
This also had an impact on their plans.
As a result, it was not easy to get all this sorted out, and it was time to start the next round of depression cycle around the world, and take the opportunity to use the excess currency on hand to harvest high-quality assets with low prices.
Zheng Li took out the virtual reality again.
The meaning behind virtual reality was a fatal blow to them. The originally high-quality assets are no longer high-quality. What exactly is a high-quality asset? There is no safety at all here.
In the past two hundred years, houses in core areas have been the best assets, such as Ginza in Tokyo, Central Park in New York, and around Buckingham Palace in London, etc.
No matter how real estate prices fluctuate, no matter how hard they fall, they will eventually rise back up.
Virtual reality will significantly reduce the value of these properties.
More importantly, virtual reality has already completely changed the ecology, but what happens next?
If Zheng Li is really Merlin, what changes will subsequent new technologies bring? No one can tell.
No matter how many top talents came to analyze it for them, they would not be able to judge the thoughts of intelligent life in other civilizations.
"We'd better make two preparations. At the same time, let someone talk to Zheng Li. Anyone can talk to him. Aren't the people in Silicon Valley very anxious? Let's see what the outcome of their talks is.
In addition, we need to show sincerity and wait until they finish talking before sending someone to talk.
Our core purpose is to obtain life-extending potions, preferably methods of use, and secondarily to obtain potions that can extend the longest life span.
Money is not important to us, time is. "
The last of the group, Morgan's grandson and the oldest of the group, concluded.
Zheng Li didn't know much about this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
A group of human beings who are about to become dry bones in the grave and have no other thoughts except money, power and time.
Zheng Li didn't care about them at all, and he almost forgot that he had scolded some of these people.
Compared with Zheng Li, Li Miaomiao was much busier. During this period of time, he was almost spinning, and he didn't even have time to stay at home.
Especially after the specific methods of the virtual world were spread, almost all kinds of relationships came to her that were difficult to refuse.
As a bunch of executives have experienced, it's impossible to keep secrets in the virtual world.
Even if they tell it, people who know it will only half-believe it.
What if? It doesn’t have to be the effect they say, it only needs to be one-tenth of the effect they say.
Fortunately, Chinese officials were able to help her avoid unnecessary trouble.
Normal business operations still need to be handled by Li Miaomiao himself.
First of all, the two most positive ones are Goose Factory and Rice.
Everyone has collaborated in VR before, and they want to replicate the same collaboration method in the virtual world.
Pony Ma and Lei Jun came to the door almost immediately.
"We have had a good cooperative relationship with Kechuang Biotech for many years, and our cooperation on FutureOS is also very pleasant.
Goose Factory has very rich experience at the software level, and Kechuang Biotechnology's achievements in cutting-edge technology are obvious to all.
We can complement each other very well. "
As the top boss in the Internet world for so many years, Pony Ma has not known what it feels like to be panicked for a long time.
After the 3Q battle, Pony Horse has no fear.
That fight with 360 should be the last step towards a substantial monopoly for Goose Factory.
The real opponent that Goose Factory had to face back then was not 360, but the public opinion behind 360 and the regulatory authorities that wanted to break up Goose Factory.
The reason why the Goose Factory passed this test back then was also because they also received support from the head of the regulatory department.
After the 3Q war, the other party met with Pony Ma in public and said: Internet software companies represented by Goose Factory have achieved remarkable development results in recent years.
But this time Pony was really panicking.
The first is the capital market, which is voting with its feet to abandon the stocks of Goose Factory, and a large number of institutions are reducing their positions.
Including Duan Yongping, a well-known investment tycoon who has been a supporter of Goose Factory for many years, Duan Yongping said bluntly on the snowball:
“I don’t know exactly how Kechuang Biotech’s virtual reality will be expressed, but it will definitely have a huge impact on the current Internet situation.
The previous brain-computer connection to VR has produced a large number of excellent VR software companies in the industry. At the same time, many Internet companies that were originally developing vigorously have fallen behind in this wave.
I think virtual reality will have a greater impact than VR, and the giants may also be overthrown.
There is currently no news at the market level that Goose Factory or Rice can maintain a cooperative relationship with Kechuang Biotech in the field of virtual reality.
Therefore, whether it is Goose Factory or Apple, their certainty is declining.
I said before that Goose Factory was not for sale because of the situation at that time. Under the current situation, except for Kechuang Biotech, no company's stock is not for sale.
I am cautiously optimistic about the future of Goose Factory.
The problem now for Goose Factory is how much proportion of the profits they have to transfer to Kechuang Biotech in order to continue to maintain a franchise in Kechuang Biotech's virtual world system.
And the more fatal question is, will Kechuang Biotech accept Goose Factory into their new system?
This is the biggest uncertainty for Goose Factory now.
Everyone should wait for the news. I'll go talk to Pony first. "
This is a post he made on the Snowball account "The Great Road Is Intangible, I Am Tangible". He has always claimed that Goose Factory is not for sale, and continued to increase his position when the market value of Goose Factory dropped by more than 50%.
This time, even the die-hard fans of Goose Factory publicly expressed their disapproval. Compared with the previous attitude, they are cautiously optimistic but not optimistic.
For Pony, it is not just the fluctuations of market investors, but also the system built by Goose Factory on VR is also collapsing.
As the first company to launch VR city, Goose Factory has undoubtedly reaped the first wave of dividends.
The subsequent launch of VR cities has caused Huanyu Pengcheng's virtual asset value system to fluctuate back and forth in a relatively obvious range.
Among them, the biggest threat to Goose Factory is the virtual world created by Microsoft based on "Minecraft".
Everyone can randomly build their own virtual space in VR, and then enter Microsoft's virtual city through the virtual space.
After the product was launched, it caused a huge blow to Huanyu Pengcheng of Goose Factory.
But later because its degree of freedom was too high, the product was removed from the shelves in China.
After that, Huanyu Pengcheng’s virtual asset system gradually stabilized.
Everyone gradually began to recognize Goose Factory’s pricing of virtual assets.
However, after the release of the preview of Kechuang Biotechnology’s virtual reality product, the virtual assets in Huanyupengcheng plummeted by half.
Now only the price of virtual assets has been cut in half. What they will face in the future is the risk that the ecology built by Goose Factory around VR will be completely wiped out.
Even the social ecosystem they built around the mobile Internet will be destroyed.
This made the battle-hardened Pony Ma feel at a loss, and she was actually a little panicked inside.
Li Miaomiao replied very officially: "Mr. Ma, we are still discussing internally how to find external cooperative manufacturers.
And the virtual reality equipment, to be honest, I got it not long ago, so I still don’t know some of the technical details.
Let's talk about cooperation after I've sorted all this out.
Goose Factory and we have been strategic partners for so many years, and we hope to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Goose Factory in the new era. "
Li Miaomiao hates the Goose Factory in her heart, but she still has to show her attitude that we have cooperated for so many years, and we will first consider your attitude in our cooperation.
This is the adult world.
But Li Miaomiao knew that in the virtual world era, it was impossible for Goose Factory to maintain its previous status.
Because Goose Factory’s status in instant messaging will be gone.
It’s not needed in the virtual reality world, they will have a built-in communication app.
At best, the status of Goose Factory in the future will be similar to that of the previous Pig Factory, relying on games and some software services to maintain its market value.
At worst, it may be similar to Sohu, gradually losing its voice in the Internet industry.
Pony Ma nodded: "Understood, after all, this is a brand new thing.
It is normal to take time to fully research and understand.
Our goose factory is willing to cooperate with the work of Kechuang Biotech in any aspect.
After your company has a relatively clear conclusion on the entire virtual reality equipment, content creation method, and the shape of the virtual world, we can carry out in-depth cooperation. "
The Pony horse was sent away here, and Lei Jun came immediately after.
Rice's decline is better than that of Goose Factory. After all, hardware manufacturers and mobile phone demand are still there. Even if virtual reality comes, mobile phones can still be sold for many years.
Humans need time to adapt.
Just like smartphones have been around for so many years, feature phones have also lingered on for many years, and they are gradually dying out.
