Chapter 1206 Do You Want to Hear the Truth?

.,!

Hearing what Clinton said, Simon shrugged and said, "Bill, the Blue House is embarrassing. This is a matter for the Koreans themselves. Of course, Kim Young-sam can also stand by and watch the country's economy go into ruin in order to ensure the continuation of his ruling party's power. In any case, It's their choice."

The corner of Clinton's mouth twitched: "Simon, you promised me."

"I know, Bill," Simon said, "but if we all send bread to the mouths of Koreans, they will not open their mouths for the sake of face, and would rather starve to death, and that's not my reason."

Clinton was helpless: "The problem is, Simon, the current ruling party is still very close to the Federation. We cannot judge how the other two will treat the Federation if Li Jinchang loses the election."

Kim Young-sam has been in power since 1993. On the surface, the relationship between the United States and South Korea is not good, and there are various frictions and differences.

In fact, in recent years, the trade negotiations between the United States and South Korea on food, tobacco, and automobiles have all ended in South Korea's compromise. In contrast, Japan stuck to its bottom line during the auto trade negotiations with the United States two years ago, thus preventing Japan's auto industry from repeating the mistakes of the semiconductor industry.

Moreover, in the past, the IMF aid agreement, which can almost be said to completely abandon South Korea's economic sovereignty, was also signed before the Kim Young-sam government stepped down.

This is the real attitude.

Therefore, it also confirmed the truth of the phrase "don't look at what a person says, but look at how a person does it".

Simon raised his legs, leaned casually on the armrest of the sofa, and said in a relaxed tone: "Frankly, Bill, do we need to care about the attitude of the Koreans?"

Clinton smiled wryly: "Simon, you must always explain the rules on the surface."

"Actually, you don't need to care about it," Simon added, adding: "Don't worry, I believe that Washington must have a more detailed assessment of the other two candidates than me, not to mention the Blue House's right to speak in South Korea It is not as big as imagined, especially after this crisis."

Regarding whether to save South Korea, there are actually differences in Washington.

Not to mention specifics, but on the White House side, Clinton is a staunch pro-Korean faction. Therefore, it is inevitable to complain about Simon's messing up things over the past weekend. However, seeing that the young people on the opposite sofa were all talking about this, Clinton stopped continuing, and switched to a relaxed tone: "Simon, you know that at the end of the month...I mean, about China, you were just a few days ago Come back from Beijing, can you give me some advice?"

"What do you want to hear about?"

"Economically."

"Bill, you want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"Then, the advice I can give is to deepen cooperation and deepen cooperation to the greatest extent."

Clinton was obviously surprised, and his tone was a little teasing and tentative: "Simon, are you sure you are saying this from the standpoint of the Federation?"

Simon smiled and looked over: "Bill, do you think someone can bribe me, in any form?"

Clinton pondered for a while, and then he understood.

With the current wealth and status of the young man in front of him, it would be unrealistic for anyone to change his position in any way unless Simon himself is willing.

"In this case, I don't understand?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "For example, 100 years ago, well, in this way, if you can go back 100 years ago, you were a capitalist in the UK. In order to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family business, you need to choose the next step. Investment direction, Bill, how would you choose?"

Clinton, of course being a smart guy, blurted out: "America."

"Yes," Simon said, "One of the biggest mistakes Europe made 100 years ago was that they thought they would always be the center of the world. As a result, after 100 years, the Federation will be the center of the world."

Clinton digested for a moment, and his expression became serious: "Simon, according to your thinking, what we should do is to contain China, not invest heavily in China."

"Bill, do you think Europe didn't try to contain the development of the Federation?" Simon continued to look at each other: "What's more, it's not 100 years ago now. This is an era destined to be globalized. At the same time, because of the emergence of nuclear weapons, It also leads to the fact that as long as we don't want to destroy together, it is impossible to contain our competitors through the most effective means of launching large-scale wars."

Clinton thought for a while before saying, "Simon, I still don't think your idea is appropriate."

Simon smiled and said, "That's why I just asked you if you want to listen to the truth, Bill, I can make up a lie for you."

Clinton pondered for a moment again, and said, "Simon, the current economic gap between China and the United States is more than 10 times. I suddenly feel that the analogy you just made may be a bit exaggerated?"

"I remember reading it in a book, Bill," Simon said with flat eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is."

Clinton tasted it a little, nodded and said, "It's a very profound sentence, it seems that there should be a grand story as a backdrop, Simon, can you recommend this book to me?"

Simon shook his head: "I read too many books, I forgot where I saw it, I just remember this sentence."

Clinton didn't pursue it, and returned to the topic just now: "Well, then, according to your thinking, Simon, our maximum investment in China will instead promote the rise of China. This does not seem to be of any benefit to the Federation?"

"Go back 100 years, Bill, if you were a visionary British

If the capitalists in the United States try to invest in all aspects of the United States, such as steel, oil, electricity, etc., then, perhaps like the Agnelli family in Italy, the Clinton family will now become the real "royal family" behind the scenes in the United States, and this is the benefit. "

Clinton reacted immediately this time, and did not answer for a while, but looked at Simon somewhat strangely.

With the huge assets owned by the young people in front of them, the Westeros family, now said to be the "royal family" behind the scenes in the United States, is almost the same.

To exchange good books, pay attention to the vx public account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Pay attention now, you can receive cash red envelopes!

Clinton then thought of the 100-year-old analogy that Simon repeatedly mentioned, and a somewhat absurd idea came to mind. However, as a realistic and rational person, he quickly put aside these nonsensical thoughts, and said again: "Simon, maybe what you said makes sense, but I don't think it's easy to use your thinking to convince other people .”

Simon spread his hands slightly: "I don't need you to convince me, Bill, I'm already doing it. What's more, they don't want to follow up, but it will make me less competitors."

Clinton was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Well, now I fully understand why you have been so enthusiastic about China in recent years."

The topic is here, and there is no need to continue. However, when the two got up and planned to return to the reception, Simon said to Clinton again: "There is one more thing, Bill, you can give it as a favor recently."

Clinton nodded slightly, showing a listening expression.

Simon said: "In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is at 10,000 points. Soros and I will make a move together to help support the Hong Kong stock market. On your side, if there are guys who know who play hedging, you can let them stop in time. Of course, if they If you think you can compete with me and George, I have no problem."

Clinton was really surprised this time, and after standing up, he froze when he stretched out his hand slightly to Simon: "Simon, is this necessary?"

"Bill, I'm a businessman." Simon explained, and took the initiative to shake Mr. President's hand that was frozen in mid-air, and smiled again: "You know, the original plan of "Forbes" today's list is actually the next It was released at the beginning of the month, and it was brought forward to now, just to help me build momentum."

Clinton came back to his senses and knew that he could not change the will of the young tycoon in front of him. Even the other party asked him to give him a favor, which was obviously the same as "Forbes" today's list, and it was to reduce the resistance to his next operation.

After a little hesitation, Clinton nodded: "Okay, I will send some more favors."

Having said that, Clinton couldn't help but think that perhaps Westeros had already given away countless 'favors' in private.

Perhaps, in the future, there is no need for the young people in front of them to make any moves. Due to the prestige of the Westeros system and the Quantum Fund, the international financial speculators targeting Hong Kong will voluntarily withdraw. Anyway, Asia is more than just Hong Kong. South Korea is much more attractive now. What's more, Hong Kong, which is backed by mainland China, is actually so difficult to eat.

Clinton is also very fond of China's "Sun Tzu's Art of War". After sorting out these things, he can't help but think of one of the sentences in that ancient Chinese book: "The one who wins without fighting is the one who is good."
