Their investment model couldn’t continue anymore, plus seeing other people constantly making money speculating on steel futures, their mindset became unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time everyone had given up on steel futures, but he’d chosen to hold on. It was almost certain that before long, everything their family lost would come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even make a small profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once they had these funds, what should their family choose to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already clearly see that the ultra-high-speed rail system would change the entire world. If they stuck with the old ways, it wouldn’t be long before they’d be eliminated by the times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic-tech industrialization... was perhaps the only opportunity in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, even though the finance industry in the City-State Alliance was developing rapidly with more and more people gathering, other industries were relatively behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could even say basically nonexistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, all the impressive industries were in Roster Territory Group Company. They had all kinds of magic machinery plants, magic vehicle plants, garment factories, textile mills, processed food plants, ultra-high-speed rail train plants, plus production of various weapons and equipment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could basically say that every industrial plant in this world could be found there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Roster Territory Group Company, the next most prosperous places were definitely Southern Development Corporation and Foster Iron Mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without question, the Clarkson family didn’t have the ability to compete with these three companies; they didn’t even have any possibility of comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they could choose to cooperate with these three companies, or take inspiration from them, picking one plant as a template, or becoming their upstream or downstream factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without question, doing this would be very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next biggest question was: how should they choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to traditional industries, the biggest special feature of magic-tech industrialization was that they needed multiple factory zones working together, developing jointly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with upstream and downstream working together could they manufacture some really impressive things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why the territories near Viscount Roster’s territory had started becoming prosperous, and why Southern Development Corporation’s industrial development was slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, as one of the places farthest from Roster territory in the southernmost part of the continent, choosing to enter these industries was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clarkson patriarch brainstormed, vetoing his own idea from just moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had tons and tons of customers below them, they could go find some other people to enter the market together, but clearly that still wasn’t enough now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the families they knew had mostly suffered terrible losses and couldn’t recover in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what should they do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clarkson patriarch fell into silence for a long period after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after thinking for who knows how long, after brainstorming and crazily refuting himself who knows how many times, he had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now they should quietly wait for steel prices to stabilize, then sell all their steel futures to recover funds, then use most of that money to buy bonds, storing a small portion directly in the bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should ensure their family’s assets didn’t depreciate too obviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then mobilize the family members to start looking for City-State Alliance specialties, special crops, special seafood, whatever, and start selling on Shopping Mall, through live streaming sales, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously this wouldn’t make much money in the early stages, at least not for the Clarkson family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine. They’d quickly familiarize themselves with these specialties, preferably develop some processed foods too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then quietly wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultra-high-speed rail system, once built, would definitely reach the City of Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City of Gold had special status now. No matter what you were doing, you couldn’t avoid the City of Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the ultra-high-speed rail system was built, they could sell these specialty products from the southernmost part of the continent to every corner of the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d follow the ultra-high-speed rail system’s expansion and continuously expand their own influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the business wasn’t very big right now, but what about when the ultra-high-speed rail system connected the City-State Alliance, Gray Fort, and the Kingdom of Dawn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about when the ultra-high-speed rail system covered the entire continent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting now, they could definitely seize the initiative, even create their own brand image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Roster territory: when you mentioned it, everyone’s perception was that place full of new and novel things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Clarkson family’s first foothold in this new era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they’d profited to a certain degree from reselling City of Gold specialty products, that would actually mean the entire continent had already unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer separated by vast distances like before. At that time, the things they could do would multiply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Clarkson patriarch was thinking about these things, many people had already started looking for Viscount Roster, wanting to know the plans for the ultra-high-speed rail system going forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no one expected that after announcing the ultra-high-speed rail system, Viscount Roster would immediately leave the Southern territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went straight to find a dragon and flew back to Roster territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultra-high-speed rail matter still needed time to sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time he couldn’t make any moves; he had to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by waiting could he get the most suitable opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his return to his territory this time wasn’t purely to avoid these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could totally go to many places beneficial to magic-tech industrial development, like Foster Iron Mine; they had lots of new materials being smelted, and many people hoped he’d make a trip there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had something more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roster Academy was complete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a plan from a long, long time ago, a plan to cultivate technical talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Church of Technology’s development, what was most important?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, magic-tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technology that used magic power like an infinite energy source for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For technology to develop, you didn’t need vast numbers of people, especially R&D talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, to expand your sphere of influence, you needed lots of people who understood business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two things were precisely what this era lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary schools at best could only teach people to read and write, could only let people basically operate those magic machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trying to cultivate the kind of cutting-edge talent they needed was basically impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus came the Roster Academy plan!\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-06T14:38:03.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","db0bb9d8f62817f5906d9182f3fc201c0fe3c2d856258c248738b3af8d12d0d1","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-115","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-459",524,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-cover.jpg"]
