Come in.

{Author-chan: I again did not write a chapter yesterday. I cannot give any other excuse than that I am not a scheduled person. I wake up at 8 o'clock and complete everything until 2 p.m., and I am also training for my college entrance exams. I will try to fix my schedule.

In the next chapter, I am thinking of trying to write an R-18 scene with the secretary. So, do you think the secretary should be a beautiful and famous person from the 80s or just an A.I. image? If it is an A.I. person, make sure to recommend a name. What do you guys think about Robin from How I Met Your Mother.

I appreciate all the power stones you guys send me. Thank you, guys, so much. Drop a comment in the comments section, because that is what keeps me motivated to write.

Okay, let's start the chapter, you fuckers.}

May 1988

After sending Jenny out with my secretary, I thought, "Well, that went as I planned."

I had arranged for Jenny and her class to come on this trip. The reason might be that I am going to take away her chance at power, which means she at least deserves something from me. Also, if I want to change the plot more, I need to separate Jenny and Barry and make Jenny have a spark of love for me. Also, to make sure she does not go back to Barry, I will make her fall in love. God, that sounds so cheesy. ugh.. 

I again started thinking about the previous nine years.

August 1979

{Age: 18}

"After the oil crisis, my next opportunities were the 1973-74 stock market crash and the secondary banks in the UK, which allowed my banking industry to spread globally by buying as many banks as we could in the United Kingdom; as for where we got the cash for that, the oil crisis helped."

"In 1975, a fiscal crisis happened in New York. Which means my opportunity was here; the city was drowning in debt and New York City was experiencing a severe cash shortage, and without help, the city would not be able to cover its bills much longer."

"The city was much more than the budget, and by 1975, as the recession had enveloped the American economy, the banks that marketed New York's debt (and owned a great deal of it) became increasingly wary about the city, as did investors around the country. By the spring, the banks had told the city that the bond market had closed, which meant that the city wouldn't be getting any credit; New York did not have the money to pay its debts—or even to continue to cover payrolls without access to more borrowed funds."

"The city officials created different corporations to deal with the crisis, such as MAC, which unfortunately for them did not work. Which is when my conglomerate stepped in and I met with Abraham Beame and Hugh Carey—New York City's mayor and governor. New York made an arrangement with Yggdrasil that kept it out of bankruptcy. The cost was serious budget cuts, favours, and selling the right side of the transverse road along with access to Croton Reservoir."

August 1988

{Age: 27} [Author-chan: I messed up the age by two years, so in the present time, Alexia is 27 years old. When she arrived in this world in 1966, she was five years old. In 1979, she was 19. In this year, which is 1988, she is 27. Sorry for the mistake, my bad.]

I am 27 years old this year. I stopped counting the amount of money I had when I turned 25. I finished one of my goals in coming to this world instead of going to the limitless world, which was to build a conglomerate myself without any supplements.

Anyway, in terms of investments, Yggdrasil has investments all over the world. We own more than the majority of stakes in companies like Berkshire Hathaway, Cisco Systems, Costco, Adobe, Walmart, and almost any company that is going to be profitable later. We have a stake in them as shareholders.

At Cisco, we have approximately 75% of the shares in the company.

We have a good chunk of shares in many companies around the world. We got many of them during the early 1980s recession in countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, West Germany, and Italy.

In Walmart, our shares have increased to more than the majority.

In the 1983 Israel bank stock crisis and the 1982 Chilean crisis, banks and other stocks of companies or even companies were wholly bought by our conglomerate. It might seem like it is not possible, but don't forget that during these times when the IMF was thinking about whether it would be beneficial to help a country by giving out loans, we were there buying the four largest banks that were in bankruptcy in Israel before they were nationalised by their governments. They tried to stop us, but they did not have any good alternatives or appropriate power because we had bought many politicians.

I have built a research base in every country we have a base in. It was one of my dreams to build one. When it was being built. Some of my company executives did not understand my reason for building it. But later, when they saw it for themselves, they understood. Of course, they were only allowed to see what I wanted them to see. [Pic in the comments.]

I know many schemes go behind my back to dethrone me from my position. But I did not get to this level just by sitting back and letting my positions be taken away from me. When I have the chips ready, then all the spies and traitors will be taken out.

After the crisis in Chile and Israel, the next step was the real estate bubble in Japan. In which we invested heavily. any place, any city, or any company good for investment. We invested in it, which paid off because by 1988, the value of real estate and the index, as well as the companies, had increased more than anyone could have thought. It is definitely a bubble, and more importantly, it seems that because of my intervention, it is accelerating.

We definitely could have benefited from the Black Monday crash that happened globally on October 19, 1987, but there was no need for that because it would have just given other companies and the government, which is already scheming behind our backs to turn us into enemies. But, no worries, I had hidden accounts that benefitted from the Black Monday crash, not for money but for satisfaction that I actually did it because whenever I used to read novels in my previous life, they would always behave like idiots and don't use hidden accounts to short the market for the crash.

May 1988 {Age: 27}

Just after I finished summarising to myself what has happened during these past 22 years, I heard a knock. I checked the cameras for safety. I mean, you can never be too cautious.

I said, "Come in."

================================================================

{Author-chan: That's all for today. I completed the chapter in a hurry because I just got back from a trip. Make sure to message me who the secretary is going to be.

Don't forget to read today's weird quote.}
