Chapter 1717 The Goddess’s Secret Word (62)

There is not just one person who studies in a school. For example, John Wise, a classmate of Parris, the new pastor of Salem, at Harvard, did not encounter the early death of his father like Parris. He became a graduate after graduation.

pastor, also in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

There are many cities in the United States with the same name as those in the United Kingdom. For example, Ipswich in New England has the same name as Ipswich in Scotland. That place is located northeast of Boston, close to the coast and salt flats, and there are also small

Streams and wetlands, all in all it is a good place for smuggling and smuggling.

There are many European immigrants who maintain the habits they originally had when living in Europe. For example, people in England and Ireland like to drink tea, and tea shipped from India will pay tariffs.

In short, regardless of the background of the Boston Tea Party, which was the fuse of the American Revolutionary War, Ipswich bureaucrats had reason to believe that the townspeople were cooperating with smugglers and harboring wanted fugitives in the country. The Reverend John Wise protested against the government

He was eloquent, bold, and charismatic, and was regarded as a hero by the locals. People were happy to go to church to listen to his sermons.

Now that we have arrived in the New World, of course we can no longer continue the European pattern of competing for theocracy and secular power. John Wise was imprisoned by the government and was not released from prison until the public protested.

Logically speaking, people with such criminal records are finished for the rest of their lives. There are many people at the bottom of American society who have made minor mistakes and left behind criminal records.

In fact, American prisons are not bad. At least they have a roof to protect you from the wind and rain, and three free meals a day. It is much better than being a homeless person sleeping on the street.

However, being sentenced to jail also requires "skills". That is to say, if the crime committed by the American criminal is not enough to be jailed, they will serve their sentence outside the prison, such as attempted assault (saaault).

On the street, I met three big black men. Perhaps because they didn't like him, or they didn't like others blocking their way, one of them pushed the unlucky guy.

"Hey, man, what's the matter, man, you don't have eyes, do you? Or it's too dark and you can't see me, right?"

All in all, the other party's words and deeds made the victim fearful and worried that his personal safety was threatened. Although no actual harm was caused, anyone who waved a fruit knife or a bat, pointed at the other person and said he wanted to break the other person's legs would be charged with attempted injury.

, if you have light skin, call the police and they will come out immediately and arrest the three black men who threatened you.

The three people who threatened to harm would go to jail, spend a period of time in jail, and then be released. Then it would be difficult to find a job because they had a criminal record. When the steel mills were still in the United States, it was easy for those at the bottom to find jobs.

You can find a job in a steel company, but because of labor unions, labor costs in the United States continue to rise. These steel companies have moved to foreign countries with lower labor costs. The steel tycoons can still make money and earn more, but it is difficult for people at the bottom to find jobs.

, between people with criminal records and those without criminal records, the workplace will of course choose the ones without criminal records, and those with criminal records also need to survive. If they can’t do serious jobs, they can only go sideways, and the crime rate in the United States remains high.

Hermione Granger is a typical top student. This is a habit she developed in a Muggle school. There is a lot of competition pressure there. In order to stand out from her peers, she needs to learn a lot of things, even if she is not good at a certain subject.

Even though she wasn't interested, she still took electives, such as Muggle Studies. What was she supposed to do with that subject?

Maybe it was just to create a small advantage for herself in the competition, but after graduating from Hogwarts, there were no prestigious schools such as Harvard and Cambridge that she needed to apply for. She had to compete with her peers for the limited admission quota. She exhausted herself.

It’s not light, she’s under a lot of pressure, and she uses a time-turner to teach, which overdraws her life. This looks good in the eyes of some teachers, because she is very diligent, like Pomona, but it doesn’t look good in the eyes of some teachers.

For example, Severus and Draco's grades are actually not bad, but they are not as hard-working as Hermione. Slytherin losing to Gryffindor in Quidditch is annoying enough, and he did not strive to be the first in his grade in studies.

Annoying. Fortunately, Hermione could still clearly realize that she was just being clever. Especially after Voldemort was resurrected, her efforts turned to more practical spells instead of blindly chasing scores. As for Draco, he had such a big problem at home.

I was not in the mood to study anymore. By that time, the future of these children who were going to school together had already been decided.

If Lucius Malfoy's influence in the Ministry of Magic persists, it will be easy for Draco to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future, and he will definitely stay in London instead of being like Arthur Weasley's child

Same, being sent to Romania to raise dragons, or working in Gringotts, Egypt.

Percy could see this, he wanted to stay in London, and he probably wanted to give some color to the Ravenclaw prefect who abandoned him, "You looked down on me when I was humble, but you can't reach me now" or something.

Yes, he wanted to work hard to climb up, but his identity as a Weasley pure-blood traitor made it difficult for him. He cut off the relationship with his family for the sake of his political future. This was also not feasible among pure-bloods who valued their family.

Crabbe and Goyle's fathers were allies with Malfoy Sr. They both had experience as Death Eaters, but they all escaped the liquidation of the First Wizarding War, unlike Sirius Black and Buddy Crouch Jr.

Entered Azkaban to serve his sentence.

This has something to do with the fact that old Malfoy is good at using money. The main reason is that he still has connections. At that time, he was not as embarrassed to get rid of the accusation as it was the second time. The second time, Lucius not only used the hidden secrets like Karkaroff

He named all the Death Eaters and used the excuses of his former "friends", so he didn't go to jail.

Draco is like Paris. He is not good at competing with those sinister uncles. If Lucius goes to prison, the Malfoy family may be divided up by these uncles.

If Draco instead of Ron Weasley became Harry's best friend, the story would be completely different.

Because of the Marshall Plan, the British common class had a very good impression of the United States, as well as their inspirational stories. The founder of Microsoft was also a student at Harvard University. He dropped out of school to start a business, and now he is the richest man in the world.

Newt Scamander also dropped out of school. Because of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, he has now become a big celebrity in the wizarding world. Except for a few students in Harry Potter's class, most of them completed the 7th grade NEWT exam.

Most of them stopped reading.

The era of Newt Scamander was different from now, and there was Albus Dumbledore behind him. He didn't have to worry about work and livelihood after dropping out of school. His family had assets, and those in the wizarding world

How could a Muggleborn with no foundation compare with him?

As for the Harvard dropout, his mother is a banker and his father is a lawyer. Seattle is the base of Boeing Company. The control tower of the airport not only has water dispensers and coffee machines, but also radar, radio, weather, and flights.

Consultation, phone calls, etc. In a busy airport, if there is any error in the control tower, it will be the consequence of a plane crash and fatalities. People today cannot imagine an airport control tower without computers, just as people in the past cannot imagine the future.

What does the control tower look like?

Ordinary parents take their children outside the airport at most, watching the planes take off and land. Bill can enter the control tower under the guidance of his mother to watch how it is operated. The Boeing 777 is the first aircraft in history to be completely designed and manufactured in computer virtual reality.

All the equipment used was provided by IBM. During the test flight, the president of Boeing was so enthusiastic that he invited IBM's technical director to participate in the test flight.

Later, Bill's first order came from IBM. This was simply unimaginable for ordinary children. How did he do it?

Bill spent his childhood in Seattle, Washington, and attended Lakeside Middle School, where many children of Boeing employees also studied. The teacher assigned all fourth-grade students an essay about the special functions of the human body, requiring

Of the four or five pages, Bill used the encyclopedia and other books on medicine, physiology, and psychology in his father's study to write more than thirty pages.

The same composition is given to a fourth-grade child in an ordinary public school. Regardless of whether he has that kind of thinking or knows how to formulate it, does his father have a study room? There is a wine cabinet, which is full of various kinds of wine.

That thing has the same smell as the solution used to make formalin, but formalin solution cannot be drunk. As for the child asking daddy why, daddy has forgotten the middle school course and can't even hold back a page, let alone more than 30 years old.

Page.

The same is true for students at Hogwarts when writing papers. They have to sneak around even a few inches of papers. They finish writing early and play early. These people are not worthy of Draco's win. Bill's dormitory roommate Steve in school

Ballmer later became the CEO of Microsoft. Before dropping out of school, Bill also found Clark, a Harvard classmate. Clark also predicted the development prospects of computers, but Clark thought that his knowledge was not enough and did not agree to Bill's invitation.

By the time Clark got his bachelor's degree, Bill had already got an entrepreneurial project. By the time Clark got his doctorate, Bill had become the richest man in the world. There were many postdocs from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale who wanted to apply for his company. Is Clark going to study?

Will you compete with these people after you become a postdoc?

Even if you don't work hard and cherish the teaching resources when you go to a prestigious school, you shouldn't drive a supercar to compete with ordinary classmates for college girlfriends, let alone take advantage of ordinary people's degrees and snatch their scholarships to repay college loans, and then buy a broken camera.

Take photos everywhere. You are looking for alliances with talents. Bill's father doesn't know much about computers at all, and he can't adapt to the computer age. If Bill takes over his father's company and finds that he is not comfortable with it, then interview those who

Can a candidate who does not know the basics of his resume and falsify his resume find a satisfactory executive like Steve Ballmer?

The scholarship you received was only for your parents to praise you at banquets and cocktail parties, but it made your civilian classmates hate you for the rest of your life. If tax issues or other cases fall into their hands in the future, they will never give you a light sentence for the sake of your old classmates.

The "grievances and grievances are clear". You don't remember how you offended them in the first place, but they remember clearly. There are so many federal laws, and each state has different legal provisions. Oh, the United States is not a civil law, but a common law, independent

There are so many cases after the war, do you know which one they will choose to deal with you?

If you want to find your father's former "friends", it's good to know that they can stay safe and stay out of the way. Some of them will even work with your father's political opponents to prevent the scandal from sticking to their bodies.

The feeling of suddenly transforming from the favored son of heaven to the abandoned child of the world is very unreal, just like a dream. When you wake up from the dream, you will still be the same person.

Who can go to a prestigious school is not a smart person? Clark said that his knowledge is not enough, it is false, he dropped out of school without getting a diploma and Bill's entrepreneurial risk is too high, it is true that he does not dare to take risks.

The Judges Association will not accept your case out of "avoidance of suspicion", but they can guide the jurors and find the defendant guilty just like the magistrates of Salem in the 17th century.

They don't look like bad people, but bad people don't have bad people written on their faces, or look bad like Slytherin, not to mention they don't feel like they are bad people, they are upholding the law and upholding justice.

Don't bow to the privileged class.

Those pro-Muggle wizards who were born into the common Muggle class think that Muggles are as good as the people they know, and they actually think that Muggles need their protection.

In addition to the appalling things that happened in 2004, something else happened. The Athens Olympics was held. This was a grand event that attracted worldwide attention. It was the first Olympic Games in the new millennium. Of course, the flame had to be lit in Athens.

Hosting the Olympics requires money. The initial budget for the Athens Olympics was 4.6 billion euros. However, Greece’s industry is mainly the tertiary industry-tourism. 60% of the people engaged in the tertiary industry and only 12% of the agriculture industry require a large amount of imported food and industry.

As a result, Greece could only borrow money to survive.

The huge foreign debt has prevented Greece from joining the Eurozone and it is difficult to raise the budget for hosting the Olympic Games. If it joins the Eurozone, Greece can enjoy the development dividends of other provinces. This is like a "Greek goddess" getting a "German husband"

Credit cards can be used at will, so joining the Eurozone is imminent for Greece.

Just when the "Greek Goddess" was scratching her hair over this question, the old wolf of Wall Street, Goldman Sachs, came and asked, "Little beauty, do you want to know about financial magic?".

In order to join the prince's ball, Cinderella asked her fairy godmother to get herself a gorgeous dress. I don't know whether the prince was blinded by the dress or by the beauty's smile. In short, the prince must marry Cinderella.

A woman's makeup will make herself more beautiful, and her true appearance will deviate to a certain extent from reality. However, this skill has gradually turned into a "evil art", and there is a huge difference between the real person and the makeup.

The "financial magic" that Goldman Sachs gave Greece was actually a kind of makeup that beautified the Greek debt problem that looked ugly on the surface. For example, the future income from the national lottery and aviation tax was used as collateral to obtain it through asset securitization.

Cash, but this mortgage will not be included in liabilities, so the already ugly fiscal deficit is filled.

The second "magic" is that Goldman Sachs lets Greece issue 10-15-year government bonds, and Goldman Sachs buys them and converts them into euros. This way Greece will have a lot of euro income, and because the government bonds have a long maturity, the amount of public debt will be very small in the current year.

, a large sum of euros was obtained out of thin air on the balance sheet.

In addition, Goldman Sachs could also help Greece obtain an additional 1 billion euros through currency swap transactions. Such sincerity of real money and the good reputation of the United States since the Marshall Plan made it difficult for Greece to refuse, even though Greece's own economy has not improved.

, after a "magic", in 2001 Greece's debt ratio had reached the standard for entering the euro zone.

Greece made Goldman Sachs earn a huge commission of 300 million, and after entering the Eurozone, Greece can be content to use German credit cards to host the Olympic Games.

In the past, Greece relied on its own income and lived a tight life. It also knew how to save money. After getting a German credit card, it spent money lavishly. After the Olympic Games, a total of 14 billion was spent, almost three times the budget, excluding the income from tourism.

, Greece lost 9.1 billion euros.

In order to maintain the stability of the euro zone, will Germany still be burdened with the debt of Greece's lavish spending?
