Chen Qing said with clear ideas: "Oil demand will not rise or fall in the short term, and it will be relatively stable. In comparison, if oil prices rise sharply, the currency settlement volume will increase sharply, which is equivalent to giving the euro a chance. If oil prices fall sharply, the demand for trading currency will plummet, and it will be difficult for the euro to break through the US dollar defense line."

As he said this, Chen Qing's thoughts were still on the matter of CNOOC's IPO and suddenly felt that some things might be even more serious than she thought.

Many industries have their own cyclical nature, which is well known.

If CNOOC IPO happens to be at a lowest point in the oil industry, it may not be a question of how much funds can be raised, but whether it can be raised. After all, global capital will avoid related industries in the trough at that time.

Not everyone dares to do the bottom-up bidding, because you don’t know whether you think the bottom-up bid is on the waist or on the legs.

Seeing Chen Qing's expression appearing on her face, Simon turned the information in front of her and said, "So, we just need to be a spectator for this matter."

Chen Qing was a little unwilling to give up, but after thinking it through, she completely cut off some thoughts, but she still asked: "Boss, you just explained that the annual meeting will be very lively. Besides the possible plummeting oil prices, what else can you do?"

Simon didn't want to be a prophet, so he shook his head and said, "Who knows, maybe it's impossible for World War III to break out by accident."

Actually, Simon certainly knew.

In 1999, in order to stop the euro, the United States launched a series of combined punches.

In addition to manipulating the plummeting oil prices and pushing international oil prices to a super low below US$10, there is also the Kosovo War.

This local war not only intensified tensions in Eastern Europe, but also completely cut off the oil transportation pipeline on the way from the Middle East to Western Europe through Yugoslavia, preventing the EU from more conveniently bypassing the US dollar settlement system and directly purchasing oil from the Middle East.

The other is NATO's eastward expansion.

Russia, also an international energy power, has been trying to integrate into Europe over the years, and has made a lot of tricks to do so. NATO expanded eastward and pressed step by step, the fantasy of the hairy bear integrating into Europe was shattered, and it could only start a confrontation again. As a result, it also cut off the feasibility of Europe and Russia in direct energy procurement settlement through the euro.

In addition, there are various small moves of Britain's refusal to give up the pound, and so on.

With such a combination of punches, the euro was not good at making a move, and it failed to threaten the status of the US dollar until more than ten or twenty years later. Not only that, the EU, whose economic size is not inferior to that of the United States, will continue to accept the harvest of the US dollar.

The boss didn't say much, Chen Qing stopped asking questions, looked down at his memo, and mentioned yesterday's incident again: "Boss, do I still have to do that semiconductor project of Daewoo?" As he said that, he added: "I will do whatever the boss asked me to do."

Simon shook his head slightly: "What I asked you to do is useless. To be honest, if China wants to develop semiconductors, it must make huge investments in a state of long-term backwardness and continuous losses for more than ten years to have the possibility of catching up. According to that idiom, it can only be a waste of time."

Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's possible?"

With Chen Qing’s understanding of domestic related industries, the chance of giving up is even greater.

Simon's expression was a little more meaningful, and hesitated a little, and did not reveal the secret of the world.

It is also active and passive to break the boat.

Back then, Xiang Yu took the initiative to burn his boats and did not leave a way out for himself.

On the other hand, if there is no choice at all, you can only passively break the boat.

In Simon's view, this is China's only choice.

However, human nature is more comfortable. In the process of passively burning the boat, you must withstand the sudden temptation of another broken boat for you to temporarily ride on this kind of drinking poison to quench your thirst.

Chen Qing still doesn't want to use her own money to waste it. Even if her boss wants to pay, she feels a pity.

Since Simon didn't force her, she gently drew a fork on her memo and talked about the two upcoming games and e-commerce that will be launched in China.

Simon has roughly heard Chen Qing's introduction and said: "I have also been considering this recently. In China, "Counter-Strike OL" and "Starcraft" adopt the online point-of-card charging model, and it may not be very successful. Even though I have emphasized the relevant upgrade system, this is a turn-based game after all, and it lacks sustainability. You can adjust it according to the specific situation. In addition, I suggest you start developing role-playing games."

Chen Qing said: "Similar to "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

The first thing that came to mind was actually the famous "Legend". When Chen Qing talked about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he suddenly became enlightened and said, "Yes, it's just a role-playing role in the online upgrade mode. Since you mentioned that "Sword and Fairy" is very popular in China now, and Jing Xi is still doing TV series. You can try to adapt this stand-alone player into an online game."

Simon briefly mentioned that Chen Qing had already had a idea and said, "In this case, boss, I should contact the country as soon as possible and discuss the cooperation on adapting the online game "Sword of Fairy" in advance. I have watched the sample TV series on Jing Xi. It is very good. If it is too late, it may cost a lot of money."

"I don't care about the details," Simon said: "In addition, I'll give you some creativity, not just "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but many Chinese historical masterpieces, such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of the White Snake", etc., you can try to adapt them. In addition, in the West, you can take the time to read "The Lord of the Rings" to find inspiration. Of course, don't think about the copyright of the game adaptation of the Middle Earth series. I mean, you can refer to it. In fact, the settings related to the popular real-time strategy game such as "Warcraft" under Daenerys are from Tolkien's Middle Earth series. You can also plan some Western fantasy online games, setting mages, knights, assassins and other professions, as well as humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and so on. I believe it will be very popular in China."

Chen Qing quickly wrote down the memo, and after a moment he looked up and said, "I'll ask someone to come up with some plans for the boss as soon as possible."

Simon hesitated a little and added: "China lacks the soil for game development. You can find a team in the United States and South Korea to develop, and China is responsible for the agency."

"Boss, can Daenerys help?"

"Danelles' gaming business has its own development plan and will not actively cooperate with you, but you can talk."

"I'll just be my boss's entrustment," Chen Qing beat the snake and followed the stick, and wrote down a few more strokes on his notebook, and said again: "The boss said this, and I suddenly remembered that "Happy Farm" and "Happy Farm". Boss, can I directly transplant it to China this time?"

Simon also woke up: "Yes, I agreed directly."

In Europe and the United States, the "Happy Farm" series has passed its peak period. Before that, when there was no wall, it could actually be played in China, but because there was no special Chinese version developed and no dedicated server was set up, the experience was not good.

Now that the wall has been built, it is isolated from the inside and outside. This phenomenon-level casual game is introduced into China. If it is operated properly, it will not only make money, but more importantly, it will also gather a large number of users for the operators. Whether in the PC era or the mobile era, users are fundamental, and traffic is king.

After a little review, Simon instilled this idea into Chen Qing again.

After all, it is a mini game, and the business environment is different. Making money is secondly. Taking the opportunity to gather users is the key, including the promotion of Yifubao. Any player who opens an Yifubao account can directly give away some paid fertilizers in "Happy Farm".

A major feature of the Internet economy is that you first make users feel like they have taken advantage of it before they can make a lot of money.
