Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1713: : 'bear' is there

After breakfast, Simon did not indulge in the goblin’s nest, but rushed to Manhattan by helicopter with Chen Qing.

Chen Qing is going to Cersei Capital to sort out some investment projects related to China with the team of Apollo Management Company, while Simon is rushing to the Westeros headquarters, which is also located in the Rockefeller Center in Midtown.

The morning time was spent reading carefully the information about the American shipbuilding industry collected by the assistant office team led by Lady A.

That’s one point Simon needs to turn around in the coming years.

As it approached noon, I joined James Leibold, who also came to work on weekends, and rushed to Leibold’s mansion in the Upper East Side, where lunch had been arranged.

The two discussed the material Simon had seen in the morning along the way.

Simon is very pessimistic about the prospects of the U.S. shipbuilding industry, based on the information in his hands, not even in his head.

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 the military and civilian shipbuilding systems are very complete, but at the civilian level, the market share is being quickly swallowed up by related companies in Japan and South Korea.

If it is not rescued immediately, perhaps in ten years, the civilian shipbuilding industry in the United States will be dispensable.

As for the military level, it is even more difficult to say.

For example, the Ford, which was later built at a sky-high price of more than 10 billion US dollars, has not even formed combat effectiveness after five years of launching. As for the reason, it’s very embarrassing. It’s not like China started from scratch, so it lacks talent and experience. The United States lacks everything. The problem is that the Ford itself has too many faults and various faults.

People who didn’t know thought the Ford was built with the help of Indians.

Third Brother: I feel offended!

All right…

The topic has been extended to the dinner table, in addition to the Rayboulds, there are married Philips.

Simon’s plan is also simple.

Focus on support.

It is impossible to save the whole industry. Therefore, Simon plans to acquire a few shipbuilding companies that still have a good foundation, covering both military and civilian use. Then, use all the resources and energy of the Westeros system to support it.

Not only funds, but also the federal policy level, and even, if necessary, the transfer of technology and talents from overseas to the federal territory can be forced.

South Korea, for example, is a good target for scouring wool.

The operation is similar to the semiconductor reflow that has been used many years later.

However, it was already too late for many things at that time, and this time, there is still plenty of time.

Of course, in terms of semiconductors, Simon will also re-plan.

Philip’s wife, Nora Registe, who got married quickly in the middle of the year because of her pregnancy, is due to give birth next month, so it’s a bit inconvenient to move around, so she insists on appearing at the dinner table.

Listening to Simon’s discussion with everyone, Nora couldn’t help thinking that half a year ago, at the lunch when Simon was invited to the wedding, a young tycoon once said that he was unable to make too many changes to the Federation, because the last time he tried to do so. The person who did it, was torn off the skull.

Now…

Simon apparently still intends to do so.

Although, Nora saw that Simon didn’t mean to do his best, but he was obviously going against the trend.

Go against the trend.

After successfully marrying into the Leibold family, Nora became more stable. Therefore, this time, she didn’t even raise her doubts, but she inevitably showed some expressions and revealed her inner thoughts.

Simon just caught Nora’s ecological change and looked over: “Nora, are you very confused about my change?”

Of course I remember my attitude.

Nora did not hide, smiled and nodded.

Simon thought for a while and said, “Some things are always done by people, and I’m not some guy who will challenge the windmill at all costs, I can only do what I can.”

In fact, what Simon didn’t say is that if his efforts are not fruitful in the next ten years, he will turn without hesitation.

Turn to tear the country apart.

LGBT are not enough, LGBTQIAPKDX is considered a pass. Two genders is not enough, three genders is also discrimination, 73 genders is the standard.

In short, the ultimate goal is to have countless groups attacking each other, hating each other, insulting each other, challenging each other… in order to ensure that the people can never be united.

To do so would, of course, damage the very foundations of the country.

However, since it cannot be reversed no matter what, it will be damaged if it is damaged. Then, turn to Latin Americanization, so that the bottom layer is confused and powerless, and the upper layer of the pyramid can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and master everything.

At that time, the bottom layer can get the greatest degree of ‘freedom’, and the power below $950 will be given to you; the privileges of BLM will also be given to you; even the slogan of MAGA can be given to you, and everyone can make it as you like. However, if they show any signs of turning their heads in the ‘wrong’ direction, such as Capitol Hill, etc… In short, they will immediately carry out the most severe repression and blackening of public opinion.

The Commonwealth will never allow such a thing as a beautiful landscape.

To a certain point, none of the people in the game are innocent, so Simon will not feel guilty or soft-hearted.

Simon is just to protect himself.

ITried!

With these flashes in his mind, Simon turned to Philip and mentioned one more thing: “Phil, I mentioned it to your father on the way back, and then you go to work in the Ministry of Commerce. I hope you can change your position.”

To support George W. Bush’s smooth inauguration, Simon certainly won’t only need one secretary of state.

Philip has been working in the Ministry of Finance for the past few years, and also participated in the negotiation of the rescue plan that the US government controlled the IMF and the South Korean authorities. In recent years, he has accumulated considerable experience and contacts.

The original plan was for Philip to move to the Commerce Department next, as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Trade and as Director of the International Trade Bureau attached to this 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, which is to cooperate with the global expansion of the Westeros system.

However, Simon has recently changed his mind.

James obviously hadn’t mentioned it to his son, 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 Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce in charge of Industry and Safety, listening to the name, “industry” is very easy to understand, but in terms of “safety”, many people may first feel that it is connected with “industry”, thinking that it is responsible for supervising production safety and so on.

Actually not.

The ‘security’ here, which later became famous, refers to ‘national security’.

In the past ten or twenty years, when the United States launched sanctions, one of the most popular excuses used is ‘national security’, and the department that initiates sanctions is often the US Department of Commerce, and is controlled by the Department of Industry and Security under the Department of Commerce. The Bureau is responsible for the formulation and implementation.

However, to be more professional, the function of the Bureau of Industry and Security is to supervise all trade activities that may affect the national security of the United States, such as import and export control of cutting-edge technology, import and export control of sensitive goods, supervision and control of international currency settlement, and so on.

Hearing what Simon said, and thinking about the discussion about the shipbuilding industry just now, Philip immediately understood why his brother-in-law made such an arrangement.

Simply put, it is to suppress the hollowing out of the American industrial system.

To put it more plainly, for example, if the Bureau of Industry and Safety says that certain parts of a certain aircraft cannot be subcontracted to overseas manufacturers, then it cannot be turned overseas, and can only be produced locally. Or, if the Bureau of Industry and Security believes that certain semiconductor technologies cannot be technology transferred, it restricts the relevant technologies to remain in the United States, thereby preserving more related industries and jobs for the federal government.

This is a super floodgate that prevents the outflow of federal industry.

Glancing at his father, seeing James nodding slightly, Philip thought for a while, and nodded quickly: “Okay, Simon, I will follow your arrangement.”

Nora next to Philip glanced at her husband, then at the opposite in-laws and Simon, opened her mouth slightly, but still didn’t say anything.

After all, both husband and father-in-law have agreed, not to mention Simon’s decision. If she opens her mouth to stop it, it is likely to make the most critical members of the family feel bad.

Nora has always been clear in her heart that her mother-in-law does not look down on her, and she has always been grumpy about her use of pregnancy to promote this marriage. In short, since her husband has no opinion, she will not say anything else.

The reason why Nora doesn’t want Philip in the position is simple.

It’s too easy to offend people.

In recent years, the various relocation, outsourcing and technology transfer of the Federation is a general trend. What Philip has to do is consistent with Simon’s plan, or go against the general trend.

Nora can even imagine that after her husband takes office, he will not only lower the floodgates to strengthen supervision, but will also review various industries that have left the country in the past few years, forcing some of them to relocate back to the country, which makes capitalists make less or even no money. If you think about it, you can understand how much backlash it will cause.

Simon, of course, has these thoughts, and he understands that everyone sitting here knows his thoughts. Seeing Philip agree, after thinking about it, he added: “I still have the attitude just now, Phil, we will only try to do what we can, If the resistance is too great, we will not offend everyone to force it forward.”

In any case, it is much easier to start now than to try in vain twenty years from now.

Simon’s goal is actually just to delay.

To minimize the pace of the country from prosperity to decline.

It’s like a classic survival story: two people meet a bear in the forest. To survive, they don’t need to run faster than the bear, they just need to outrun the other person.

The same goes for countries.

Just like the United States, outperforming the Soviet Union, turning around to devour the legacy of the Soviet Union, eating and drinking, and then running fast for many years.

Simon had a plan early on.

The Soviet Union outperformed in the 1990s, and the next time the federation will “outperform” will be Europe.

Of course, in order to ensure his own victory, he must privately throw some stumbling blocks under the feet of Europe to ensure that the old-armed and old-legged Europe completely falls down and can never get up again.

At that time, if you say less, you can reap more than ten or twenty years of life extension.

Then continue to consume with the next target.

After all, the ‘bear’ is there, and the transition between bull and bear is like a boom and a bust, and no one can avoid it, but history has proven time and time again that you don’t need to outrun the bear, you just need to run faster than your opponent .

Then, go back and pick up the corpse.

In the way of man, what is deficient is deficient and what is deserving is in abundance.
