Entering 1929, Xiang Nan's status in the academic world increased significantly because the Big Bang theory was verified.
Various research institutions, institutions of higher learning, and academic forums have invited him to participate. So in the next period of time, Xiang Nan traveled to many places.
Countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Austria promote their scientific theories and expand their reputation in the academic world.
On the one hand, after proposing game theory, the Big Bang theory and the unified theory of weak electricity, Xiang Nan has become as much a master as Einstein in the world of mathematics and science.
And since he is a master, he cannot be alone. The more scholars agree with his theory and are willing to study and develop his theory, the greater his influence will be.
Just like Einstein, when the theory of relativity was first introduced, there were only a handful of people in the world who could understand it.
But as he has continued to lecture and promote over the years, if he does not know the theory of relativity, he cannot be considered a professional physicist at all.
It is for this reason that Einstein has such an amazing reputation in the field of science.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan also hopes to set an example to improve the image of Chinese people in European and American countries and reduce racial discrimination.
Therefore, wherever he went, he held public lectures to let foreigners know that Chinese people are not just wearing mustaches and pigtails, describing themselves as vulgar, despicable and dirty.
Although if he does this, it may not have much effect. But if you can afford it, you can count on it.
Xiang Nan’s lecture tours are actually not free. Every speech, at least, costs a thousand dollars.
At that time, the U.S. dollar was directly linked to gold, and one thousand U.S. dollars was equivalent to 1,600 grams of gold. Based on the current gold price, the appearance fee for inviting Xiang Nan to give a speech is 800,000 yuan, which is no less than that of a popular star. It can be seen that he is still quite popular.
…
As Xiang Nan became more and more popular, his previous book "Unified Theory of Weak Currents" began to receive more objective and fair evaluations, and gained support from more and more scholars.
This has made his status in the academic world higher and higher, and he has the potential to become a first-rate scholar in the academic world.
This is naturally of great benefit to him.
Because in a war-torn world, fame is equivalent to a talisman. The greater your reputation, the less likely you are to be in danger. After all, in modern civilization, everyone still wants to save face.
Even Japan is cruel and ruthless, inhumane, and has caused many tragedies that shocked the world. However, in the international arena, it continues to rouge and whitewash itself, beautifying its aggression as "liberating Asia from the rule of European and American powers" and "building a Greater Eastern Co-Prosperity Sphere".
Therefore, after Xiang Nan's fame reaches a certain level, all parties will not attack him rashly in order to avoid false accusations. Instead, they will ensure his safety to avoid causing an uproar in the world.
…
In the middle of 2009, Xiang Nan launched a new book - "Xu's Cat", which was used to explain microscopic quantum mechanics from the macroscopic scale.
The publication of this book immediately caused a sensation in academic circles and even society. Just like the popular science book "A Brief History of Time" launched by Hawking in the 1980s.
Prior to this, although the academic community had made many achievements in quantum mechanics, these achievements were difficult to explain and popularize to the public.
As Niels Bohr, the founder of quantum mechanics, said, “Anyone who doesn’t get angry when they hear quantum theory for the first time must not have understood it.”
So although the public is very interested in it, it is difficult to understand it.
The book "Xu's Cat" published by Xiang Nan very well explains the concept of quantum mechanics and quantum characteristics, such as quantum uncertainty, quantum interference, quantum decoherence, etc. He also used [Xu’s Cat] hypothetical experiment to explain the quantum superposition state to the public.
Because this book is novel and interesting, it not only contains knowledge, but is also suitable for uneducated people to use for pretense, so its sales are very popular and it has become one of the hottest popular science books in 2029.
…
Entering the second half of 2029, on October 24, the stock price of the New York Stock Exchange plummeted, falling by 12% in one day, triggering public panic.
On October 25, the stock market continued to fall, and there was still no sign of stopping the loss. So much so that after brewing on Saturday and Sunday, by the time the new trading day came on Monday, the market's panic had been seriously saturated. More investors chose to sell and leave the market, causing the stock market to plummet another 13% that day.
Immediately after the stock market started on Tuesday, although many tycoons such as William Durant and Rockefeller joined forces to rescue the market, they still could not stop the stock price from plummeting.
On this day, the market value of US$14 billion evaporated out of thin air. In just five days, the U.S. stock market lost $84 billion in value. At that time, the monthly salary of ordinary workers was less than one hundred dollars.
Because before this, the U.S. stock market had been very hot. From 2001 to 2029, the US Dow Jones Index rose sixfold, leading the well-known economist Irving Fisher to declare: "Stock prices have reached a seemingly permanent high."
Therefore, the prosperous stock market has attracted countless capital inflows, including billionaires, workers earning shabby wages, banks, insurance companies, trust institutions, etc.
Originally, they all made a lot of money in the stock market. But now the stock market is plummeting, stock prices are plummeting, many stocks have dropped from being worth millions to worthless, and countless investors have gone bankrupt.
What's even more frightening is that the collapse of the stock market triggered a wave of bank runs. A large number of banks went bankrupt as a result, and countless factories were forced to close down as their capital links were cut off.
This not only resulted in a large number of workers losing their jobs, but also further aroused public panic, causing the stock market to plummet further.
Under the vicious cycle, the economic crisis will inevitably spread.
A large number of workers are unemployed, a large number of students have dropped out of school, and a large number of banks have gone bankrupt...
Moreover, the economic crisis not only affects the United States, but also quickly spreads to other countries.
However, the French economy has not been affected for the time being. In fact, its economic crisis began with a delay of a year.
Therefore, the French media are even complacent, believing that France will not fall into an economic crisis like the United States, Britain and other countries.
However, Xiang Nan, who is familiar with history, knows that this economic crisis is the most lasting, profound and serious crisis in the history of capitalist economy.
Its three major characteristics, even the compulsory questions in the high school entrance examination, include a particularly wide scope, a particularly long duration, and a particularly destructive nature.
The reason why World War II was started was because under the economic crisis, the great powers launched external capital plunder in order to divert domestic conflicts.
So Xiang Nan didn't take it lightly and took out the money early. Exchange it into cash of large denominations such as US dollars and pounds, or use it to purchase valuable items such as gold and jewelry to avoid bank bankruptcy in the future and all your money being lost.
