South Sea Company / 南海公司

The South Sea Company appears near the end of 26.牛顿与伪币制造者：可能是斯内普的原型？ as the source’s final deflation of [[IsaacNewton|Isaac Newton / 牛顿]] as pure calculating genius. The episode says Newton had risk awareness and sold some shares before the bubble peak, but later reentered or remained exposed enough to suffer very large losses.

The company matters here less as a full business-history case than as a financial-psychology marker. Newton could reason about motion, coinage, and factory systems, yet still be drawn into market enthusiasm.
