Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 8 The News Comes
The next day, this time George did not cancel the multiple shadow clones by himself. He just let the shadow clones in the school and the woods attack each other and disperse by themselves.Because, there are still two shadow clones that he sent out to find the target.Fortunately, the shadow clone has the property of dissipating after being damaged.But this time, George discovered something different.

Before, all the multiple clones were dispersed by George himself.This time, he let the shadow clones attack each other and dispersed by himself.The instant death of eleven shadow clones gave George the kind of heart palpitations, which were different from the transfer of knowledge.Sure enough, there is great terror between life and death.

In order to train himself, George decided to cancel all future shadow clones in this way.

It took George a while to recover. I don't think anyone would feel too good about being killed eleven times at once.

Just like that, the time came five days later, at noon.George was taking a lunch break when a memory suddenly came to him.It turned out that it was sent by the shadow clone who went to Wilmington. This is the legendary message delivered by death. George said silently, I will remember you.

After amusing himself for a while, George sorted out the memories of this clone.In this life, this shadow clone allowed George to see the difference in the outside world in a special way for the first time.

What he saw was a kind of prosperity. In Memphis and Wilmington, high-rise buildings had appeared in the city, women on the road were wearing heavy makeup, and cars were driving through the streets.

In George's memory, this was the beginning of an economic wave in the United States, and all he had to do was seize the current opportunities.

In the memory of the shadow clone, he was in Wilmington and finally found it, DuPont Company.

DuPont is a global research-based company founded in 1802.In later generations, DuPont's business scope covers food, health care, clothing, construction, transportation and other life fields.DuPont was mainly engaged in the production of gunpowder in the 1811th century. By [-], it had become the largest gunpowder manufacturer in the United States at that time.

Until 1902, when the company's president, Eugene DuPont, passed away, his three great-grandsons later bought DuPont through acquisition and formulated a new development plan for DuPont.They established Eastern Laboratories, one of the first industrial laboratories in the United States.

In 1904, DuPont began producing varnish and other non-explosive products.

In later generations, this company's annual revenue in 2020 was more than 2000 billion US dollars, and its net profit was nearly 30 billion per year.

While George was thinking about DuPont all afternoon, another shadow clone also sent back a message.This time George focused directly on the final result.Another company he was looking for, the American Westinghouse Company, was also found.

The Westinghouse Company in the United States actually went bankrupt in later generations, but its former glory is undeniable.

It was founded by George Westinghouse in Pennsylvania, USA on January 1886, 1.Westinghouse Electric Company was once a Fortune 8 company with an annual turnover of more than 500 billion US dollars. It is widely active in the fields of energy, transportation, communications, military, aerospace, and environmental health management.Hundreds of millions of homes, commercial buildings, and government departments on five continents around the world use Westinghouse's products and services.

Now George is very lucky to be able to find these two companies at once, but he is also very distressed because he has no money.

It's like there's meat in the pot, but you just don't have the tools to hold it.Of course, it is impossible to say that he went to grab it directly, which is also unrealistic.

In total, George still has some money.There are more than 40 in the bank. If you want to satisfy your own life, that's totally fine.I would like to join these two companies, but they are too different.

George's clone also made inquiries about these two companies locally.George's valuation of both companies is probably hundreds of millions of dollars.So George's more than 40 yuan doesn't need to be considered at all.

But there is no chance.Because, according to the historical development of previous lives, this summer, in August, an economic crisis will break out in the United States.This economic crisis did not end until the end of 1921, which took about 2 years.The economic adjustment after making a fortune in World War I was mainly due to the weakening of "external demand". During the crisis, industrial production fell by 25%, and machine manufacturing, coal, and steel all fell by about 70%; the overall agricultural production index fell by 11.4 %, with prices of major agricultural products falling by up to 70%; the unemployment rate reaching a maximum of 23.1%.

This is why George found a lot of excuses to sell the farm in advance.Moreover, after the end of this economic crisis, other industries have slowly recovered, but the situation of the agricultural industry has not improved much, and the prices of agricultural products have not rebounded.

George just took advantage of this opportunity to invest money in more profitable industries.

George also has two companies, Coke and Best.The current valuation of both companies is around US$300 million.

These four companies are the ones that George has always coveted.And it is still a relatively confident company. The details will depend on whether the early development goes smoothly.After finding his goal, George stopped paying attention there for the time being. His first priority now was to finish writing and make arrangements for going to college.When there were about ten days before the exam, George informed Ms. Ally that they were leaving here.George gave Ally one more month's salary and dismissed Ally.

George and Ryan started to pack their things.Because they won't come back after they leave.The houses have been sold along with the farm.There weren't many things to take away, so Ryan only packed one suitcase.George packed two suitcases, one large and one small.One small one contains George's clothes, and the other large one contains some of his parents' things, including a violin from his mother, several firearms collected by his father, family photos and other items.There were too many things, so George told Ryan to leave them at school for the time being. After they were confirmed by the university, he would entrust the school teacher to help send them over.In fact, George put the items into the chaotic space after arriving at school.

I also made a special trip to the cemetery to say goodbye to my parents in this life.

The next day, after the two finished cleaning up, they handed the keys to the person who came to collect the house.The two carried their suitcases and walked out of the door.

When he reached the door, George looked back at the place where he had lived for more than ten years.Ryan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "There is a home where there are people. You have to go out after all."

George nodded and said: "I understand, Uncle Ryan, I promise, I will buy it back in the future."

If it weren't for the poor economy later on, it would be too much pressure for him to bear the burden of a money-losing farm and ranch.In fact, George didn't want to sell it.After all, this is where he has lived for more than ten years.

After getting into the rented car, George looked at the scenery slowly moving away and secretly told himself that everything was just beginning and he would definitely succeed!
Ryan looked at George and said nothing.

As for the school graduation party and so on, what does that have to do with George?He was not familiar with those classmates to begin with, and he only participated in various activities in school to get activity points.Now that I got what I needed, I told the school that I needed to go to the test center to prepare, so I left school early.

It took more than three hours of driving to reach Memphis. Because I knew in advance the school where the SAT test center was located, I directly found a hotel in that community, checked in, paid for the bus, and let the bus leave.

After completing the formalities, the two of them had lunch at the hotel and went back to their rooms to rest.Because in this era, riding a car for more than three hours is really not a comfortable experience.

The next day, early in the morning.George and Ryan finished breakfast at the hotel, and George asked the hotel to arrange a car.He planned to take a tour of the city today to deepen his understanding of this era.

The car door was opened by a white driver. After George got in the car, he looked inside the car.There was a truck on the farm before, but it was the treasure of the farm and it was impossible for him to drive it for fun. It was later sold directly.So this is my first time taking a car.Cars of this era look pretty good on the outside and are decorated with wood inside.Moreover, what was new to George was seeing the driver's hand-cranked ignition method.There is an inexplicable sense of joy.

Then I recalled the development of keys in later generations.It was not until 1927 that rechargeable vehicle batteries were used in cars for the first time. Cars suddenly evolved from the "joystick era" to the "one-button start era" - yes, you read that right, it was indeed a "one-button start era" ", because at that time the car key hanging on the car owner's waist was only responsible for opening the door lock and had no ignition function.This invention not only facilitates car owners, but also facilitates various car thieves - after all, with the "one-button start", even the physical strength of the joystick is saved.

At this time, the rigorous Germans decided to add a lock to the ignition system for anti-theft encryption - this is the prototype of the now common key ignition.However, two keys are still a burden to the car owner after all, and he will not be able to drive if he loses either one.Therefore, the technical department of Mercedes-Benz put forward the technical improvement suggestion of designing two keys into one - this is actually the complete concept of modern car keys.

The most critical point that can be seen here is the application of rechargeable vehicle batteries to cars.And George remembered that rechargeable batteries had been invented during this era.This battery is made from nickel, iron and alkaline solution.

Keeping this matter in mind, George continued to observe the inside of the car and found that there was another problem.That is, the car seats do not have small pillows, and the seat backs are as high as the person's shoulders, so there is no support for the head.George couldn't help but feel happy, this could earn him a lot of money.Then there’s nothing to see in the car.Although he was very interested in cars, George felt that he would never be able to drive a car that had to be cranked by hand before driving.

After walking around for a day, they bought a few newspapers outside and returned to the hotel after dinner.After returning to nine o'clock, George did not let Ryan leave, but called Ryan to his room.He first asked Lane to collect all current car brands, business scales and production scales in the United States. Secondly, he asked Lane to find out who currently holds the patent for rechargeable batteries.Third, find out which newspapers can be found across the United States.

In the following days, Ryan visited major car dealerships, newspaper offices and other places in Memphis, while George stayed in the room and read quietly.
