Simon heard Chen Qing's question and said with a smile: "The previous method was very easy, to launch a foreign war and divert conflicts."
Chen Qing immediately GET, with a grimace on her face: "It can't be done now, we have nuclear weapons."
"Yeah, if you make too much noise, you have to finish it," Simon said, gesturing at the Southeast Asia region he had just drawn with a pen: "Although I think nuclear war may be destined to be the summary of modern civilization, but, what should be done We still have to do it. For the Westeros system, the temporary solution is to create a production system that is completely under our own absolute control. Southeast Asia is a target, as well as Eastern Europe, Africa and other regions."
When Chen Qing heard 'absolute control', she also understood why her boss didn't choose China. After all, it was too big to choose China. After thinking about it, she raised her hand and pointed to Latin America: "Boss, where is this place?"
"Latin America is not good. This region is actually the best shape I expect for the future of the United States. The economy is in decline and the society is solidified, but it can continue to operate under a relatively stable system." Simon shook his head slightly and pointed to another area. Liao pointed out: "However, Mexico is an exception. It is very close to the United States, but its economic strength is very different. It has a large amount of cheap labor and can also be used as a production carrier for our key operations."
Chen Qing hummed in agreement and looked at the man next to her: "Boss, you just said treating the symptoms. So, is there a root cause?"
Simon nodded: "The fundamental solution is to promote another scientific and technological revolution with controllable nuclear fusion as the core. If we master controllable nuclear fusion, humans will have nearly unlimited energy, which means they will have unlimited productivity. By then, even if society A large part of the world's people are no longer engaged in production, and the powerful productivity of the new era can be used to provide them with sufficient survival materials. By achieving this goal, the probability of extreme social unrest can be reduced to a minimum, and, hey, when As the technological gap widens further, capitalists like us will be safer and at the same time gain greater hidden power."
Chen Qing immediately thought of the 3G plan. Obviously, this is indeed a very feasible plan.
After reviewing the conversation between the two of them, Chen Qing discovered another question: "Boss, to build this global production system, do you mean to transfuse blood to the United States at the critical moment?"
Simon did not deny it, but said: "Going back to the Age of Discovery, after defeating Spain, not long after, Britain launched a war against another maritime overlord, the Netherlands, and defeated it again, becoming the first maritime overlord."
Chen Qing answered cooperatively: "What then?"
"No," Simon said, "you know the East India Company, right?"
"certainly."
"At that time, many countries actually had East India Companies, or, to be precise, the East India Company should be a collection of companies that monopolized maritime trade." Simon explained briefly, and then said: "During the Anglo-Dutch War, because it was the first to open up Business Road, the Netherlands is stronger than Britain, not to mention, although it defeated Spain, Britain itself was severely weakened. If both sides fight with all their strength, the result will be difficult to predict. "
Chen Qing accurately grasped the key and asked: "Then, why did the Netherlands lose?"
"History is full of countless accidents, but among accidents, there are always many inevitabilities," Simon said: "The Netherlands lost the war for many reasons. However, one of the factors cannot be ignored, which is the Dutch East India Company. attitude. During the war between the two countries, guess what the Dutch East India Company was doing?"
"Um?"
"The Dutch East India Company felt that even if the country lost the war, their interests would not be harmed. So, in business negotiations, the British war supplies were in short supply at that time, and the price offered was of course very high. The Dutch East India Company ignored its position and supplied goods in large quantities. Reselling supplies to Britain. Even the British finances were not well off. In order to raise funds to issue war bonds, the Dutch East India Company also made large purchases. After all, the interest rates were high. Ironically, the enemy is attacking their own motherland. Businessmen in this country do not want to We share the same hatred and hatred, but we still only care about our own business, and only have the best interests in mind."
Chen Qing immediately thought of her own country and shook her head: "It's not strange."
When Simon heard what Nizi said, he quickly thought about it and was too lazy to say more, so he continued: "As a result, the Netherlands was defeated. The Dutch East India Company, which thought that even if it lost the war, would not delay its business, because the country lost its maritime hegemony, it soon It soon fell and disintegrated, and Britain became a prosperous empire on which the sun never sets."
Chen Qing waited for her boss to finish speaking, and then said softly: "If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached."
"Yes," Simon said with helplessness in his tone: "I can't change many things, but the foundation of the Westeros system is in the United States. I don't have the same illusions as the shareholders of the Dutch East India Company. Therefore, even if decline is inevitable , the Westeros system must at least ensure that this country will not collapse, or even disintegrate like the Soviet Union."
Chen Qing felt her boss's emotions, thought of something, and said, "Isn't the boss still running Australia?"
"This is a retreat. Once this retreat is used, it means that the situation is already very bad," Simon said: "You can probably guess that for Australia, I even plan to operate it as a refuge after the outbreak of nuclear war. of."
Chen Qing wanted to make a joke and say that her boss was unfounded, but after sorting through the discussion just now, she found that the things her boss said were not unfounded at all. Perhaps not even until their generation later.
Thinking about this, Chen Qing said: "Boss, what should I do?"
"The detailed plan is still being formulated, and you can join in later," Simon said. "Currently, the main thing is to digest the various industries we received from Southeast Asia last year. In the future, we will mainly strengthen investment in Southeast Asia, and China Here, what you need to cooperate with is the output of talents and industries, such as low-end clothing and footwear OEM."
Chen Qing hummed, not stupid enough to ask whether it can't be done locally in Southeast Asia. If Southeast Asians can do it, there will not be so many Chinese among the wealthy elites in various countries. Just think about what happened two years ago. The Chinese have brains and can make money, but... I have to say it is a pity.
After determining the general direction, we continued to discuss many details, and before we knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Simon has no intention of staying too long this time and will leave for Seoul tomorrow.
Compared with China, which is still in the development stage, South Korea can transfer more industries to Southeast Asia. After the 1997 crisis, Simon guided a large part of South Korean industries into China. Next, it's time to reverse direction as well.
After discussing the matter, they ignored Ren Jingxi and the two who were wandering around. After all, the garden was too big. Simon and Chen Qing left quietly and inspected several Westeros system investment projects in the eastern suburbs industrial park.
Compared with the hustle and bustle near Dayang Mountain in the western suburbs, the industrial park in the eastern suburbs of Suzhou seems low-key. In fact, the investment scale of the Westeros system here is many times larger than that in the eastern suburbs. Tinker Bayer, Nokia, Joyo, which has merged with Lenovo, and even Samsung and SK, which are controlled by the Westeros system in South Korea, all have large-scale industrial investments here.
The short few hours were obviously not enough to browse too much. Finally, after walking around the Samsung Automobile Factory in Suzhou, which was under rapid construction, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.
Dusk falls.
The two returned to the manor by Dushu Lake, and the four of them had dinner together as before. Ren Jingxi and Mo Wuling knew that the two had gone out in the afternoon, and they probably talked about something before going out. They were both curious, but they didn't ask any more questions.
After the dinner was over, Chen Qing was not polite anymore and sent the two lightbulbs away. Ren Jingxi and Mo Wuling were very dissatisfied, but they also found that they had no position to rely on a man. Is it possible that they still want to be with Chen Qing... Well, definitely, no. ah.
But he didn't leave, but stayed in another yard in the manor.
After the two women left, Chen Qing also took her boss to the indoor theater that she had mentioned during the day. It had a retro stage style and a stage of hundreds of square meters. However, there was obviously no intention to reserve space for too many audiences. , there are only two rows of seats. The front row is a large sofa that can accommodate five or six people. The back row and both sides also have a seating pattern that surrounds the sofa in the middle.
It’s basically the kind prepared for one person to watch.
The two sat down on the sofa and gave simple instructions. Yu Tingyu led a group of girls and came on stage in person.
"It's called "Yu Meiren". Ting Yu choreographed the dance himself, in the style of the Song Dynasty." As the music played, Chen Qing introduced it to her boss in person, while taking a thick booklet from Jiang Shanwu next to her and passing it over. : "Also, this, I will not dominate the boss tonight. The boss will choose the latest batch. Now, the first few were selected by me during the selection process of the CCTV model competition. They are better than those who finally participated in the competition. Those are pretty, look, this one, 1.83 meters tall, with a face that the boss likes, her legs are very long, and her waist is even thinner, I can even put my arms around her."
Simon lazily crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa, admiring the photos on the roster in front of him. He was no longer too lazy to care about the little girl's trick of 'people are not as good as new people'. After hearing what she said, he asked with a smile: "You try Pass?"
Chen Qing said frankly: "I even slept with him."
Simon: “…”
Seeing that her boss was speechless, Chen Qing laughed playfully and came over to rub him against him a few times: "But I promise it's new."
Simon simply ignored it and continued to turn the pages while eyeing the dance on the stage.
Even if there is no comparison, it can be seen that Chen Qing has indeed retained the best ones. Although there are only seven or eight, all of them can be regarded as beauties. It's just that, because I've seen it too much, the beauty is very beautiful, but there is no existence that can seduce Simon at a glance.
After the tall goblin at the beginning, there is another group of small water onions.
Chen Qing continued to help with the introduction: "These are selected through the channels of Jinshu Performing Arts School. Compared with the ones just now, it depends on what the boss likes."
Simon continued to turn the page and said: "I originally hoped that this school could make some achievements. You won't do all this, right?"
"How is it possible? It's both correct," Chen Qing denied, and added: "The boss mentioned in an email last year the establishment of a special martial arts instruction major, and I asked them to implement it seriously. Currently, there are three classes in total. Nearly a hundred students all have martial arts skills. In addition, the school not only invited martial arts instructors from Hong Kong to take classes, the school also specially formed a team to study action shots. Zhang is currently filming "Chu and Han", this time using a batch of martial arts instructors. He was very satisfied with the students in the class participating in the filming.”
Simon was noncommittal.
In the original time and space, after a generation of martial arts stars such as Jet Lee gradually retired, Chinese Kung Fu on the big and small screens had no successors. Later, the behind-the-scenes gradually declined, and the overall environment became increasingly impetuous. Twenty years later, the action scenes in various martial arts dramas can only be described as horrific.
Can this general trend be reversed due to some changes here
Frankly, Simon doesn't care.
Anyway, when the time comes, how will the film and television industry make money? Even if it is the capital related to the Westeros system, it may be easier to make money.
I continued to flip through it casually, and soon a series of group photos appeared. They were basically women with similar faces, big and small, in twos and threes. Chen Qing did not introduce me this time, just smiling, looking like an Easter egg prepared by the boss for me. Are you still satisfied?" He asked for credit.
Simon still just flipped through the pages, and when he saw the appearance of the girl next to him, he smiled and said: "I still prefer girls who are more familiar."
Chen Qing looked thoughtful, then showed a look of realization: "I understand, boss, I will ask Shanwu to take you to Jingxi and Wuling later. Hehe, if the boss is a little more forceful, they will definitely not resist. .”
Simon raised his hand and gently tapped Nizi beside him on the forehead.
Chen Qing whined and chased after him and bit him.
They were joking here. After a dance on the stage, Jiang Shanwu came over with a questioning look on his face.
Simon raised his head and said: "Sing, that song "The Meeting of the World"."
Jiang Shanwu nodded and turned to give instructions. Yu Tingyu and the other backup dancers on the stage did not go to the backstage, but walked down the stage along the side steps and walked towards this side.
Simon patted him on the other side. The girls understood and sat obediently around Simon and Chen Qing. One of the girls tried to seize the seat next to Simon, but Yu Tingyu pulled her directly behind her. She did not dare to sit in a certain place. Struggling and tearing in front of a man, the girl could only watch him pass over her, and then cling to the big man's side as if she had no bones. She didn't even get the turn of second place, so she could only sit in the third place depressedly.
Simon ignored the intrigues of the goblins, casually wrapped his arms around the waist of the girl next to him, continued to flip through the list in front of him, and praised: "It's a great dance. Xiaoqing said you choreographed the dance yourself?"
"Yes," Yu Tingyu said in a flattered tone. Although she knew that the man was obviously multi-tasked in the audience, of course he would not show it. He slightly raised his head: "Boss, what are you looking at?"
Simon said: "Girl."
Whatever the big shot said was very interesting, so Yu Tingyu chuckled along with it: "Haha."
In the blink of an eye, there was another girl on the stage, sitting behind a guqin. The sound of the piano sounded together with other tones of the band in the corner, and there was a clear singing voice: "... The ferry falls in love with the deep mountains, and the thin snow falls in love with the late lotus." The setting sun makes my eyes red, and I want to wait for the morning bell to chat... "
In the audience, Chen Qing saw that her boss was about to finish flipping through the thick roster, but still hadn't chosen one, so she took the initiative to say: "By the way, boss, there happens to be a great beauty here."
"Um?"
Chen Qing said: "Recently, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is auditioning actors. The team has chosen a dancer and wants her to play Mei Chaofeng. Well, Mei Chaofeng. The boss must know about it, right?"
Simon nodded and immediately remembered it.
If I'm right, it should be that one. In the previous CCTV version of "The Condor", Mei Chaofeng's casting can be said to be both eccentric and the finishing touch. Moreover, the beauty Yang who danced the peacock dance was actually raised in a golden house in New York with her. Zhou Dabei is equally famous.
Chen Qing continued the introduction, and it turned out to be that person. He noticed that his boss finally showed an interested expression, so he immediately ordered Jiang Shanwu who was standing next to him to contact him.
