The transformation of McGraw Hill''s novel website has failed to reverse the status of ireader''s novel website!

    Ireader''s novel website is developing better and better, while McGraw Hill''s novel website is losing money seriously. Offline books have been seriously affected by online piracy, resulting in a decline in sales, which leads to the dissatisfaction of many writers!

    The reason why Henry''s physical book biochemical crisis is so popular is not only the excellent novel itself, but also Henry''s personal charm! Countless gimmicks can attract people''s curiosity, plus Henry is so young, it is the American Idol, the representative of the American dream!!!

    Obviously, not everyone can learn, he is the same, online book, offline book can also sell!

    Henry didn''t pay attention to the website of McGraw Hill''s novels at all. The writer is also a man and a profit seeking animal. Naturally, he knows which website has the most traffic and which website makes more money. They won''t go to an unpopular website to publish new books!

    Ireader fiction website has established its leading position in the industry, which is hard to be shaken by other fiction websites. What''s more, ICQ company stands behind it.

    Now it''s near the end of 1991. There are two things that deserve Henry''s attention. One is the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the other is the US presidential election!

    The presidential election in the United States will start in January 1992 and last for half a year. This stage belongs to the primary election. It is mainly for the major parties to compete for presidential candidates. Clinton was elected chairman of the Democratic Party''s Supreme Committee as early as 1990. Therefore, he should be able to become the Democratic Party''s presidential candidate without dispute!!!

    In the Soviet Union, Henry had asked Blackwater to send 3000 members to the Soviet Union to carry out the "war for talents" plan.

    This time, Henry wanted to carve up Soviet talents with European countries and even the United States. But Henry was able to predict the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union and a series of policies of Russia after that, so he made more adequate preparations. Even before other countries responded, he would take the lead and transport talents away!

    Before that, Henry had people collect information about top talents from all walks of life.

    Once the Soviet Union is concerned, act immediately!

    At the end of November, Henry asked people to rent 20 large ships that can hold thousands of people, which are distributed in various docks along the Russian coastal border. In addition, he also rented 10 Boeing 747 planes to escort the top high-tech talents!

    This action of seizing talents must be able to make a blockbuster!

    ……

    Three months ago, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Moldavia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Estonia, Armenia, Tajikistan announced their secession from the Soviet Union! Earlier, in the spring of 1990 and 1991, Lithuania, Latvia and Georgia announced their secession from the Soviet Union!

    As time went by, the whole Soviet Union was filled with tension. On December 8, 1991, after the heads of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine signed the agreement, the Soviet Union was dead in name!

    On December 25-26, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union confirmed the fact of the disintegration of the union, which means the formal disintegration of the Soviet Union!

    "Hello, Mr. Williams, the plan has been carried out!"

    "OK, be safe!" Henry answered faintly, then hung up. Then, he stood up from his seat, his eyes shining with a trace of brilliance, and he could not help murmuring and laughing: "ha ha, the talents of the Soviet Union will be used for me!"

    At this time, members of Blackwater have been active in various countries and are actively carrying out actions. At this moment, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the governments of various countries are in great chaos and are facing a serious economic crisis. Especially in Russia, it''s more chaotic!

    Yeltsin appointed young liberal reformer Gaidar as the head of government to carry out radical "shock" economic reform“ Objectively speaking, the effect of "shock" therapy is very obvious, which can end the socialist public ownership in a very short time and realize the non nationalization and privatization!

    And one of the biggest characteristics of shock therapy is that "long pain is not as good as short pain". Only after the pain is almost shocked, can it regain its vitality!

    Its contents are as follows: to implement tight financial and fiscal policies, to reduce government expenditure, to cancel subsidies, to liberalize prices, to implement trade liberalization, to achieve exchange rate stability through currency depreciation, to further reform the administrative and tax systems, to privatize some public sectors and enterprises, to rearrange debts and to accept foreign aid, etc!

    However, with the implementation of this policy, the ordinary people in Russia are almost desperate. The ruble has been devalued madly. Now the government has devalued it again. Everyone''s money is turning into waste paper. How can we survive?

    The whole country''s economy was once paralyzed.

    Factories close down, state-owned enterprises are sold at a low price!

    Banks go bankrupt, laid-off workers flock to the streets!

    Even scientific research institutions have closed down due to lack of funds, and high-tech talents have no choice but to be laid off!!!

    The giant bear international headhunting company, which Henry founded in Russia at the beginning, suddenly got busy and received a lot of consultation calls from people!

    Then, Heishui cooperated with giant bear international headhunting company to transfer talents one after another!

    As long as they are talents, they will be taken away and sent to the United States. In order to buy people''s hearts, Henry took them with his family and promised to arrange work for them in the United States!

    With so many talents leaving Russia, it is impossible not to disturb the government and then be obstructed.

    However, Blackwater is not a vegetarian either. It has opened up smuggling routes in Russia as early as possible, and there are members of Blackwater escorting along the routes. If Russia dares to intercept it, it will run if it can''t fight. If it can fight, it will fight!

    Russia is in a precarious situation. The whole country is in a mess. Even the police can''t get paid and can''t eat enough. As for the army, hehe, it''s busy selling arms. Blackwater company buys from it and has a good relationship with the military! So, where can the Russian government take care of so many talents? Wave after wave, they are escorted out of Russia by Blackwater members.

    Henry was particularly interested in Russian arms experts and aerospace technicians. Therefore, the main purpose of the Soviet Union''s seizing talents was to poach them.

    In the strong temptation of money, many talents have agreed to work for Henry!

    Among them, more than 400 people were poached from "Korolev energy, rocket and space group"! Korolev was praised as the "father of launch vehicle", invented the artificial satellite, and was the chief engineer and designer of the Soviet Union''s rocket program. Although he was dead, the group''s technology in the fields of rocket, satellite and spaceship was super first class!

    In addition, Heishui company has also poached more than 50 technical talents from the "power machinery research and production complex", the most first-class rocket engine company in the Soviet Union, more than 40 R & D talents from the "keldish research center" and more than 20 R & D talents from the "Quantum Science Research Institute" for the development of energy supply system. Of course, there are more than that. Other companies add up to more than 200 people.

    These talents all add up, can develop rocket, satellite, spaceship completely!

    At the same time, Blackwater also bought a lot of technical information at a low price!

    However, Henry''s pace is not so fast. He wants to make achievements in the rocket field first, then develop satellites, and finally make spaceships!

    Henry was the first to dig people, so the people who dug were naturally the elites among the elites. When other countries are ready to dig people, they are stunned. They find that the object they want to dig has been dug away. Finally, there is no way, can only back and second, dig a little bit worse level!

    The U.S. government has also found this situation, but after an investigation, it suddenly finds that all the high-tech aerospace talents who have been poached have actually come to the United States

    NASA is very concerned about this!
