Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1711: : Is there such a thing as forever
Now in 2000, the United States is still at the peak of a super class after the Cold War, and the national life is also very good. Therefore, the results of the general election were released. Although all kinds of noise and controversy were inevitable, the society as a whole quickly accepted it.
It is difficult for Americans at this time to imagine that such a thing will happen one day in the future for a country that is powerful enough to be great.
People are always accustomed to regard the short-term present as forever.
This side of the Westeros system.
Simon took a short break as a bystander on Tuesday before returning to work the next day.
It is only related to the general election, and there are still too many follow-ups to deal with.
At the same time, after a sharp rebound in the North American stock market on the day of the general election, the three consecutive trading days immediately followed an overall upward trend. The Nasdaq index returned to a high of more than 8,000 points again on Thursday, November 9. Re-become a trillion-dollar market value giant.
The situation is improving.
Simon did not relax because of this, because it was clear that there was a sudden reversal at the end of the general election, and Gore lost the election because of it. It is impossible for the Democratic Party to have no emotions. The reason why it didn’t happen like it did in 1994 was because of the North American stock market.
Now the Nasdaq is just a ‘porcelain doll’, no one dares to touch it, and if it is broken, no one can afford it.
Simon’s side has just proved that the Westeros system has the ability to turn the table at any time, so it can’t deal with it too violently.
However, it is impossible not to respond.
Simon got the news that in Washington, on the second day after the election, some lawmakers have quietly discussed plans to further strengthen the supervision of election laws.
Although, Simon didn’t think it would work.
After all, the two major parties, if you don’t want money, the opposite party may accept it, and the result will only change one another. Therefore, the most rational but fundamental way to quench thirst is to accept me as you accept it, and relax as you relax.
Just like the 2016 election, everyone with a discerning eye saw the serious contribution of social networks, and there was a lot of trouble afterwards. There was even an unreliable rumor that FB would be punished by 4 trillion US dollars. In the end, it is still the same. Raised high, lowered gently.
Capital is still capital.
The social networks that control public opinion are still those social networks.
However, a certain trend has to be guarded against.
Simon’s approach is to cover the soil with water on the one hand, and continue to plan ahead.
Double protection.
Inside the super-mansion on the top floor of the Westeros Tower in Manhattan.
The time is November 10th.
Friday.
Simon made an appointment here at noon to have dinner with his personal military affairs assistant Celia Miller, mainly for confidentiality reasons.
Today’s topic is part of planning ahead.
Discussing the continued infiltration of the federal military, the topic is related to only one target, the National Guard.
The National Guard, which has the same legal status as the regular U.S. military, is simply a military force within the United States. For example, in the 1992 Los Angeles riot, the National Guard was the first to suppress it.
In addition, Simon also takes a fancy to the fact that the command of the National Guard is at the state level, which means that under certain circumstances, it is more difficult for the Westeros system to indirectly mobilize the National Guard than it needs to go through The regular army in the Washington channel is much lower.
As for the Westeros system, which has cultivated tens of thousands of private armies around the world, why should it infiltrate the US military?
The reason is very simple, for a ‘justifiable’.
And, it is more convenient for Simon to stand behind the scenes and keep the black hands.
This is actually like the ‘unofficial organization’ that the federation is best at using outside to do things. If it is done, it has nothing to do with me, but the benefits are real. If it is screwed up, it has nothing to do with me, but it has nothing to do with me. Consumables only.
In the same way, if something goes wrong, if the Westeros system immediately activates private soldiers, it may generate stronger feedback, but if the National Guard or the US military is filled in, whether it is internal or external, even if everyone’s heart You know that you are doing something, but on the surface there is nothing you can do.
Because the official army has legal legitimacy.
For example, to suppress the chaos of the 92 Los Angeles riots, the National Guard will enter the field, of course. If the Weijia private army enters the field, the result is more likely to provoke a more intense civil uprising.
On the other hand, the way of infiltration is not difficult. Funding, cultivating, climbing step by step, and finally grasping a considerable command.
Simon doesn’t mind spending money, and the key to this is time.
Spending a large sum of money in a short period of time will not have much effect, and may also cause official alertness. Therefore, it can only be achieved through a long period of ten or twenty years of operation, not only the cultivation of loyalty, but also the deep binding of interests. This is to reach Simon when needed, such as arm finger.
Speaking of which, 20 years from now is exactly one node.
The lunch lasted for nearly two hours, and near the end, Celia Miller promised to push forward Simon’s request as soon as possible, but couldn’t help saying: “Boss, help Bush Jr. get the presidency, I thought you would be very happy recently. , I didn’t expect… I mean, I think you’re even more insecure?”
Simon ate a plate of fruit salad with a fork and heard the words: “Maybe I have read too much history, history has proven countless times that people in my position are too easy to be used as targets, or scapegoats, because Few people are willing to admit that they made a mistake, and most people prefer to blame others, so a guy like me is born wrong.”
Celia smiled consolingly: “Boss, you should have more confidence in the federal system.”
“I have always believed that the fundamental reason why the Federation has come to this point is that we are in a separate landmass away from disputes. It is luck, not system.”
My boss told me a similar argument, Celia couldn’t fully approve it, but she couldn’t refute it. After thinking about it, she couldn’t help but ask: “Boss, I’m a little curious, if… I mean if, one day in the future , what would you do if the worst-case scenario you predicted happened?”
“Escape,” Simon said. “But before I leave, I will destroy everything I can. It should be mine. If someone comes to grab it, they will only get a piece of ruins.”
Celia couldn’t help but imagined the ruins of the Westeros mansion she was in, and was silent for a while.
Simon put down the silver fork in his hand, and seeing the woman on the opposite side didn’t speak, he asked with a smile, “Afraid?”
Celia nodded slightly.
It seems to be a long, long time ago when I remembered in my heart that my boss was a poor boy at that time and was attacked by a group of unscrupulous youths in Hollywood. Then, according to the details of the media later excavated, the man on the other side had obviously suffered a lot. Seriously injured, he still dragged those guys into the alley one by one, and all of them broke one leg.
That picture makes me feel a little creepy just thinking about it.
It seems that similar plots have been filmed in movies a few years ago, and the low-budget B-movie made a lot of money because of this gimmick.
Simon took out a napkin to wipe his hands, and continued: “I never felt that I was not a good person, because the fundamental rules of this world determine that a truly good person cannot climb the top of the pyramid unless he is already on it. However, I really hope that the world can be a better place, because it’s good for all of us. I’ve been working hard to push this forward with practical actions. On the other hand, the problem is that I’m a very serious Pessimist. I believe that what you pay will be rewarded, and you will be rewarded when you pay, but I never believe that if a person pays, there will be a reward, so I am not sure whether I can change this in the end. The world, make it a better place.”
Celia looked up.
Simon quickly continued: “My expectations are actually very low. It doesn’t matter if the world gives me a disappointing result, but if the world hurts me in turn, and my Family, then I will definitely fight back and fight back at all costs, even if it destroys the world.”
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Celia said goodbye and left, and Simon remained in the Westeros Building, and soon welcomed the next visitor.
Chen Qing was led by the housekeeper to an open hall on the lower floor of the mansion. She saw her boss sitting by a piano near the glass curtain wall, and she stepped up to walk over. , I can only sit side by side with my boss on the bench obediently, listening to the occasional ding ding Dongdong.
Simon spoke first and said in Chinese, “How is Fujio lately?”
Chen Qing immediately showed a flattered expression, and put her body over to post: “Very good, I’m so touched that the boss can ask about it right away.”
For some reason, this girl can always relax herself quickly, Simon smiled: “I thought you would accompany Jenny and the others in Asia, host.”
“There is a neighbor Shen in Southeast Asia. I’ll go back tomorrow, and next Monday will just happen to accompany my wife on a tour in China,” Chen Qing explained, and added: “The North American stock market these days, anyway, the Xiangshan Internet side is terrified, the above I also specifically asked about this matter, and I was worried that it would be like the first IPO of CNOOC, so I could only come over to see it myself.”
Simon recalled the IPO of Xiangshan Network, and said: “As long as your rhythm remains unchanged and the listing is completed in early December, there will be no problem.”
Chen Qing stretched out her beautiful fingers and pressed the keys with her boss, ding Dongdong, and looked at her with bright eyes: “Boss, why are you so sure?”
Simon shook his head: “I won’t tell you.”
“Hmm…” Chen Qing felt aggrieved and flattered: “I also brought a gift to the boss this time.”
Of course, Simon knew what the gifts of Nizi around him were, but he was not very interested at this time: “I don’t know how many ‘gifts’ you have saved for me. I have been raising them all the time. I spend a lot of money.”
“Not much, from North America, I bring it every time, um, the boss has not seen it, only more than 100,” Chen Qing shook her sallow finger: “There are a few more in Asia, the boss wants How many are there.”
Simon knocked out a rising syllable at will, and said, “Take the time to release some, you can’t afford it.”
“Boss, canaries who are accustomed to the exquisite life in cages will die if they are released into the wild.”
“Not a canary.”
Chen Qing tilted her head, and suddenly showed a wicked smile: “Boss, do you want to see, that, suddenly returning to Cinderella state from Her Royal Highness, tsk, the gap, it’s interesting to think about it, or I have recently How many will be released?”
“Do more if you can do bad things, and go to **** with me in the future.”
“Mmmm, I’m with the boss…” Chen Qing nodded her head with a smile, and stretched out her hand on the piano keys: “…Jing, flag, ten, ten thousand, Zhan, Yan, Luo.”
Simon didn’t pick up this stubble, and some feeling surfaced, and his fingertips flicked.
Chinese tunes.
While playing, he hummed softly: “…when I was seven years old, I caught that cicada, thinking I could catch Summer. When I was seventeen, I kissed her face, and I thought I could be with her forever…”
Chen Qing immediately calmed down and listened carefully.
Simon hummed a sentence, paused, and after a while found some lyrics, some tunes.
*…
* There is no such thing as a forever, never change.
*The beauty that has been embraced is never broken again.
* Let the dangerous years not be wild on the face, let life and death be far away
*Who can hear.
*…
