After breakfast, Simon did not indulge in the Goblin Den, but took a helicopter to Manhattan with Chen Qing.
Chen Qing will go to Cersei Capital to sort out some investment projects related to the Apollo Management Company. Simon is rushing to the headquarters of the Vestro company in the Lockefeller Center in Zhongcheng District.
The morning was spent carefully reading the information related to the U.S. shipbuilding industry that Miss A led the assistant office team to collect.
This is a key focus for Simon to turn around in the coming years.
Near noon, James Rebld, who came to work on the weekend, met and rushed to the Luxian house in Rebrer's house in the Laibut family. Lunch has been arranged over there.
The two of them discussed the information Simon had read that morning.
Based on the information in hand, and without even reviewing the information in his mind, Simon is very pessimistic about the prospects of the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
Fortunately, it has only been ten years since the end of the Cold War, and this country has not completely abandoned its martial arts. Therefore, both military and civilian shipbuilding systems are very complete. However, at the civilian level, market share is rapidly being eaten up by Japanese and Korean companies.
If no rescue is made immediately, the U.S. civilian shipbuilding industry may be dispensable in ten years.
As for the military level, it is even more difficult to say.
For example, the Ford, which cost more than 10 billion US dollars, has not even formed combat effectiveness for five years. As for the reason, the very embarrassing point is that it is not that China is starting from scratch and lacks talent and experience. The United States lacks everything. The problem is that the Ford itself has too many problems and various malfunctions.
People who don’t know better think that the Ford was built with the help of Indians.
Brother Third: I feel offending!
All right…
The topic has been extended to the dining table, in addition to the Rebld couple, and the Felipu couple who have already married.
Simon's plan is also very simple.
Focus on support.
It is impossible to save the entire industry. Therefore, Simon plans to acquire several shipbuilding companies that still have good foundations, covering both military and civilian uses, and then use all the resources and energy of the Westeros system to support them.
Not only funds, but also the federal policy level, and even if needed, it can also be forcibly transferred from overseas to the federal local.
For example, South Korea is a good object of wool.
The operation method is similar to the semiconductor return of many years.
However, many things were too late at that time, and this time, time was very abundant.
Of course, in terms of semiconductors, Simon will also re -plan next.
Philip's wife Nora Register, who got married quickly in the middle of the year because of her pregnancy, is due to give birth next month. She has some inconvenience in moving at the moment, but she still insists on appearing at the dinner table.
Listening to Simon's discussion with everyone, Nora couldn't help but think of the lunch where Simon was invited to the wedding six months ago. A certain young tycoon once said that he was unable to make too many changes to the Federation because the last time he tried to do this The person who was a creep was lifted off.
Now…
Simon is obviously planning to do so.
Although, Nora saw that Simon did not mean to do my best, but it was obviously against the trend.
Do it against the general trend.
After successfully marrying into the Raybould family, Nora became more stable. Therefore, she did not even raise doubts this time, but inevitably showed some expressions to reveal her inner thoughts.
Simon just seized Nora's ecological changes. Look at it: "Nora, do you wonder my change?"
Of course, remember your previous attitude.
Nora nodded with a smile.
Simon thought for a moment and said: "Some things always have to be done by people. Moreover, I am not a guy who will challenge the windmill at all costs. I will only do what I can."
In fact, what Simon did not say is that if his efforts have no results in the next ten years or so, he will not hesitate to turn around.
Turn to tear this country.
LGBT is not enough, LGBTQIAPKDX is counted. The two gender is not enough, the three gender is also discriminatory, and 73 gender is the standard.
In short, the ultimate goal is to allow countless groups to attack each other, hate each other, abuse each other, and challenge each other... so as to ensure to the greatest extent that the people will never be able to unite.
Doing so would, of course, damage the very foundation of this country.
However, since it cannot be reversed no matter what, if it is damaged, it is damaged. Then, it turns to Latin America, leaving the bottom in a state of confusion and incompetence, while the upper levels of the pyramid can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and control everything.
At that time, the bottom class can get the greatest degree of 'freedom', and the power of less than 950 US dollars will be given to you; the privileges of BLM will also be given to you; and even MAGA slogans will be given to you, and everyone can make up whatever they want. However, if they show any sign of turning their spearhead in the 'wrong' direction, such as on Capitol Hill, or... in short, they will immediately carry out the most severe suppression and blackening of public opinion.
The Federation may never be allowed to appear like a beautiful landscape.
It really has reached a certain point. No one in the bureau is innocent, so Simon will not feel guilty and soft.
Simon is just to protect himself.
I tried!
With these flashing through his mind, Simon turned to Phillip and mentioned one more thing: "Phil, I mentioned it to your father on the way back. Next, you will go to work in the Department of Commerce. I hope you can change your position."
To support George W. Bush's smooth coming to power, Simon would certainly not just hold the position of Secretary of State.
Philip has been working in the Ministry of Finance in the past few years, and has also participated in negotiations between the US government's control of the IMF and South Korean authorities. In recent years, it has accumulated considerable experience and connections.
In the initial plan, Philip would move to the Ministry of Commerce next. The position is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Commerce responsible for the International Trade, and the director of the International Trade Affairs of this position will also be the affiliated to the position.
Although Philip is only 29 years old this year, age is not an issue in this country.
Furthermore, the purpose of choosing this position is also obvious, to cooperate with the global expansion of the Westeros system.
However, Simon has recently changed his mind.
James had obviously not mentioned it to his son yet, and Philip was a little surprised: "Simon, what?"
Simon said: "I want you to be the assistant secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security and run the Bureau of Industry and Security, not the previous one."
The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for the assistant minister of industry and security. Listening to the name, 'Industry' is very understandable, but in terms of 'security', many people may feel the first to be associated with 'Industry', thinking that they are responsible for supervising production safety.
Not really.
The 'security' here, which later became famous, refers to 'national security'.
Ten or twenty years later, the United States launched sanctions to the outside world. One of the 10,000 -gold oil excuses used by the most likely to use is 'national security'. The bureau is responsible for the formulation and implementation.
However, the functions of the Professional, the function of the Industry and Security Bureau is to supervise all trade behaviors that may affect US national security, such as the import and export control of cutting -edge technology, the import and export control of sensitive goods, the supervision and control of international currency liquidation, and so on.
When Philip heard what Simon said, and then thought about the discussion about the shipbuilding industry just now, he immediately understood why his brother-in-law made such an arrangement.
To put it simply, it is to prevent the hollowing out of the American industrial system.
No matter how simple it is, for example, if the Industry and Safety Administration says that certain accessories of a certain aircraft cannot be subcontracted to overseas manufacturers, it cannot be turned overseas and can only be produced in the local area. Or, if the Industry and Security Bureau believes that certain semiconductor technology cannot transform technology, then the relevant technology can only stay in the United States, and then retain more related industries and jobs for the Federation.
This is a super gate to prevent the outflow of federal industries.
After looking at his father and seeing James nodding slightly, Phillip thought about it for a moment and nodded quickly: "Okay, Simon, I will follow your arrangement."
Nora next to Phillip glanced at her husband, then at her parents-in-law and Simon opposite, opened her mouth slightly, but still didn’t say anything.
After all, both her husband and father-in-law had already agreed, not to mention that it was Simon's decision. If she spoke to stop her, she would probably make some of the most important people in the family feel bad.
Nora has always been clear that her mother -in -law is quite looking down on her, and she has always been a must for her to promote this marriage. In short, since her husband has no opinion, she does not intend to say anything.
As for the reason why Nola didn’t want Phillip to take this position, it was also very simple.
Easy to offend people.
In recent years, various federal relocation, outsourcing, and technical transfer are a general trend. What Philip has to do is consistent with the planning of Simon, or to do it against the general trend.
Nora can even imagine that after her husband takes office, it will not only put down the gate to strengthen supervision, but also review various industries that have flowed out in previous years, and force some of them to move back to China. If you think about it, you can understand how much backlash it will cause.
Of course, Simon is these ideas, and I also understand that when sitting on a few people know his thoughts, see Philip's consent, think about it, and add: "I still have just attitude, Phil, we will only try to do what we can do. If there is too much resistance, we will not offend everyone and push forward forcefully.”
Regardless, it's easier to start now than to try in vain twenty years later.
Simon's goal is actually just delay.
Delay the country's decline from prosperity to the greatest extent possible.
Just like a classic survival story: two people met a bear in the forest. If they want to live, they don't need to run faster than the bear, they only need to run another person.
The same goes for countries.
Just like the United States, after outperforming the Soviet Union, it turned around and devoured the Soviet Union's legacy. After eating and drinking enough, it could run fast for many more years.
Simon had planned for a long time.
It outperformed the Soviet Union in the 1990s. The next time the Federation wants to 'outperform', it will be Europe.
Of course, in order to ensure your victory, in private, you must lose some stumbling stumbling at the feet of Europe to ensure that the European arms and old legs fall completely and can no longer climb.
When the time comes, if you say less, you will gain more than ten or twenty years of life.
Continue to consume with the next goal.
After all, the 'bear' is there, and the beef bears are transformed, as if they are growing and changing, no one can avoid it, but history has once again proved that you don't need to run that bear, but only need to run faster than your opponent. .
Then, go back and pick up the corpse.
The way of man is to make more than enough losses but more than enough sacrifices.
