Chapter 1437: Resources Are Never Enough

ps: anti-theft

...

...

To strengthen operations in Africa, aside from all other trivial considerations, the most fundamental core is resources.

Simon happened to discuss this with Janet during the day.

In this world, it seems that many countries are very rich and many people live well, but in fact, all these are just appearances.

There are never enough resources.

No matter how much the Westeros family has made in terms of intelligence, military and other aspects, the root of all this is money, and what money represents is actually resources.

Simon is well aware of the direction of the U.S. economy in the next 20 years. The real industry will continue to be hollowed out, and the tertiary industry led by finance will become stronger and stronger. The basis of survival.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic needs of human society.

If a country abandons these most basic livelihood industries and continues to add various castle-like tertiary industries, then once the world undergoes drastic changes, the result will be disastrous.

Just like the United States, which seems to be a large agricultural country, it seems that the most basic food crisis will never occur, but the former Soviet Union is used as a reference.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated and the entire national production system collapsed, Ukraine, the granary of Eastern Europe, saw its annual grain production plummet from more than 50 million tons before the disintegration to 11 million tons in 1991, a plunge of 80%, so that Ukraine had to Seek help from the international community to avoid famine.

The former Soviet Union did not carry out industrial upgrading, and until its disintegration, it still maintained a very large proportion of industry and agriculture.

It is such an economy, but if sudden changes occur, the food production system will collapse.

Looking at the United States again, because of the so-called industrial upgrading, industries such as chemical fertilizers and agricultural machinery, which are important auxiliary products for agriculture, have been greatly relocated abroad. Once a serious crisis occurs, it will be difficult for the United States to provide sufficient means of production in the short term to ensure the continuation of agricultural production.

The result can be imagined.

This is not unfounded worry, or alarmist talk.

Because it has happened.

During the Great Depression in the 1830s, the United States was a rapidly rising super industrial power. When the economy suffered a severe crisis, industrial and agricultural production almost collapsed. Because food shortages caused widespread famine, in just four years between 1929 and 1933, more than 7 million people died abnormally.

Structural changes in the U.S. economy cannot be stopped, and Simon has no intention of doing so.

What Simon has to do is to rely on the shell of the United States and use its huge chaebols to continuously seize more resources around the world. At the same time, on the basis of these land, forests, water sources, mineral deposits, etc. A global entity industrial chain that is absolutely controlled by the Sterow system.

A large part of it must be the most basic 'basic clothing, housing and transportation'.

It's still the same reason, in this world, the so-called power, the simplest expression, is to control one's job.

Modern civilization is no longer as easy to kill a person as in the age of kingship. Then, the next best thing is that I can make you have nothing to eat. Then, if you don’t want to be starved to death, you must listen to me. This is power .

By analogy, if you control everyone's jobs, you are tantamount to controlling the world.

This is exactly what Simon was after.

Of course, this is a civilized world, and we are all civilized people, so the reality will not be so simple and rude. However, peeling off the surface of that layer of civilization, many things, in fact, have not changed since ancient times.

All in all, as far as the Westeros system is concerned, compared with the industrial upgrades pursued by countries all over the world, what Simon has to do next is to continue to 'downgrade' the Westeros system.

In the current Westeros system, the two companies with the highest market value, whether it is Daenerys or Ygritte, obviously belong to the category of the tertiary industry. The disadvantage of related fields is that for ordinary people, if they don't watch movies or surf the Internet, they can still live well.

That is to say, neither Daenerys nor Ygritte is absolutely necessary for this world.

What Simon has to do is to continuously reduce its holdings in non-essential industries and continue to increase its holdings in essential industries for many years to come.

From the perspective of commercial interests alone, it is very unwise to do so.

Traditional essential industries often mean fierce competition and meager profits. But for Simon, he no longer needs to make too much profit too quickly, because with the current size of the Westeros system, even if the growth rate is slow, the increment is still huge.

The economic volume of the entire Westeros system is already equivalent to a large number of countries ranked in the forefront of the world. Simon is also continuing to promote the management of the Westeros system as a country. In this case, the foundation of this 'country' must be stable, and it cannot be a castle in the air with such a large share of Ygritte and Daenerys. The same non-essential industries.

In this world, it seems that many countries are very rich and many people live well, but in fact, all these are just appearances.

There are never enough resources.

No matter how many layouts the Westeros family has made in various aspects such as intelligence and military affairs, the foundation to support all of this is gold.

Money, and what money represents is actually resources.

Just like the United States, which seems to be a big agricultural country, it seems that the worst will never happen.

The basis of the food crisis, however, is the former Soviet Union as a reference.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated and the entire national production system collapsed, Ukraine, the granary of Eastern Europe, saw its annual grain production plummet from more than 50 million tons before the disintegration to 11 million tons in 1991, a plunge of 80%, so that Ukraine had to Seek help from the international community to avoid famine.

In order to upgrade the industry he is looking for, what Simon has to do next is to continue to 'downgrade the industry' of the Westeros system.
