Hollywood Hunter

When Soros heard Simon's question, his eyes narrowed for a moment, and soon returned to normal, and said slowly: "Simon, this is not easy."

Simon still had a leisurely posture, with his legs crossed, and he was not surprised by Soros' instant feedback on some details. The old man has defeated the pound and swept across Southeast Asia. As a standard hunter, and from the standpoint of the current American, it is impossible not to consider the issue of the biggest enemy of the US dollar, the euro. Therefore, the other party's answer is worth saying, Without wondering why Simon asked this question, he just said 'it's not easy'.

Smiling, Simon said: "George, of course I understand that this is not easy, but some things have to be done. It just so happens that I am a very patient person. 10 years, or 20 years, as long as I can do it." I don't think it will take long to accomplish one thing."

Hearing this, Soros showed some obvious emotions. He was born in 1930 and is exactly 70 years old this year. Even if he refuses to accept his old age, he has to admit that he has few 10 or 20 years to squander, and the young man in front of him, At the age of early 30s, and considering the continuous advancement of technology, it is difficult to say what the future will be like.

Shaking his head slightly, Soros put aside these for the time being, returned to his own business, and said: "If you want to destroy the euro, it is very difficult for purely external forces to succeed. This has been proved by a series of operations by the Federation last year. Our The many cards played in a row only restrained the rapid growth of the euro."

Simon agrees: "Fortresses are always easier to breach from the inside."

Subconsciously speaking this sentence, Simon had an inexplicable flash of inspiration, and his thoughts briefly flew to the east again. However, he quickly put it away and turned to the problem at hand.

"Lenin's words just made a footnote for the disintegration of the Soviet Union," Soros obviously had an association, said something casually, and returned to the topic: "European integration has always been a country with a slightly forward-looking vision in Europe. One thing that leaders expect, however, just as many attempts at unification in European history have failed, it is even more impossible for Europe to unite as one under the constraints of the currently established international rules. The reason is also very simple, because of interests. Every country, every nation has its own different interests.”

Simon said: "Coincidentally, regarding this matter and human nature, I have always had a very persistent principle here, called, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink."

Soros understood instantly, and asked with a smile, "Another fable from the East?"

"yes."

"Very appropriate," Soros affirmed, and continued: "As you just said, under the premise of sufficient operating time, making good use of the contradictions within Europe is the key to destroying the euro."

When the old man said this, it was obvious that he had thought deeply about it. Simon just nodded slightly and continued to listen attentively.

Soros sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "In Europe, when it comes to economic issues, the biggest contradiction is the serious imbalance in the economic development of various countries. In order to maintain good development in different economic states, different currencies must be adopted. Policies. For example, the current economic situation in Germany and France is improving in the context of the current global economic recovery. Therefore, a stronger monetary policy is needed to pursue currency appreciation and attract more capital inflows, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the country and promoting The further development of the economy. Let’s talk about countries such as Italy and Spain. The economies of these countries are currently considered good under the general trend, but they have not yet reached the level of Germany and France. Therefore, they need to continue to maintain weak monetary policies, pursue currency devaluation, and pursue Loosening, lowering the labor cost of one's own country, and stimulating exports. This fundamental contradiction can be bridged in the short term because the overall economic situation in the world is not bad. However, in the long run, the contradiction will only become deeper and deeper. It got sharper and sharper, and finally exploded. Simon, what do you think we should do to solve this problem?"

Listening to the old man's question from the exam school, Simon didn't think about it: "We should help more European countries join the EU and join the Eurozone, especially those countries that did not meet the standards."

Soros was a little surprised, and then thought about the identity of the young man opposite him, he was relieved, nodded and said: "That's right."

In fact, Simon mainly thought of the fact that Goldman Sachs helped Greece to make fake accounts to join the euro zone. At this time, combined with Soros' argument, it immediately matched.

It's all a trick.

Thinking of this, Simon asked: "Is there any more?"

"Of course," Soros continued: "Also, since European integration is to be promoted, it is inevitable that a strong country will involve a transfer payment issue for a weak country. For a whole like our federation, the national financial Collecting more taxes from economically strong states and counties, and subsidizing economically backward states and counties, the people will not have much rebound, because we are a whole. However, for Europe, if the Germans and French know that their country is in order to maintain The European Union has to use its own finances to directly or indirectly subsidize other weak countries. It’s nothing in the short term, but it will continue in the long run, especially when they encounter a cyclical economic downturn. Their own lives are impacted, and their grievances will only accumulate. It finally exploded."

Simon didn't need to wait for Soros to ask this time, he said: "What we have to do is to use political means to constantly exaggerate this unfair transfer payment and force the strong country to give up this disguised subsidy. Once the strong country gives up, the weak country will get If it is not beneficial, but has to accommodate the overall euro monetary policy, it will also generate deeper and deeper resentment, which will eventually erupt, then split, and then be destroyed."

Soros showed an appreciative expression, without needing Simon to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Finally, it is to make proper use of geostrategy, for example, the Balkan powder keg."

Simon nodded in approval again. It’s okay to say that the Federation has used it once last year. The Kosovo war caused the exchange rate of the euro to plummet.

However, after Soros finished speaking, Simon thought about it for a while, and said: "George, what you just said, um, I think, can be called destructive thinking, with the purpose of direct destruction. In addition, it happened that I was thinking about it recently. Regarding things in Eastern Europe, I think there are also some indirect strategies that use constructive thinking as a means to be used.”

Soros was curious: "Tell me?"

Simon said: "Eastern Europe, and even Russia, has a huge population of hundreds of millions. This is not only a potential market, but also a large amount of cheap labor. Because of geographical advantages, these resources have been slowly digested by Western Europe. I think we should not We should continue to let this digestion go, but we should take the initiative to fight for these resources. The resources of this planet are limited after all. If we get more, we will leave less for Western European countries. It just so happens that the development of most Western European countries, Basically, they have reached their own extreme, and if they want to continue, they must expand outward. Once this outward expansion is strongly hindered, they can only continue to consume their own resources until these resources are exhausted or even collapse."

Soros showed a thoughtful expression: "Simon, what do you mean, we should take the initiative to build Eastern Europe more vigorously?"

"yes."

"Hey, haven't we been doing this all these years, especially when you're in Ukraine?"

Simon shook his head: "Not enough, far from enough."

In the past few years, what did the West, including Western Europe and North America, mainly do in Eastern Europe?

Frankly speaking, economic support is pitifully small compared to North America's help to Western Europe after World War II. Most of the actions are just exporting political forms, and cooperating with the oligarchs of Eastern European countries to predatoryly buy large amounts of assets left by the former Soviet Union at low prices.

Soros thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Simon, I think you are thinking too simply. You just said that geographically, Western Europe has a natural advantage over North America. Then, how can you be sure that we help Eastern Europe develop? After getting up, they will definitely fall to us, instead of Western Europe, which is closer geographically, ethnically, culturally, etc.?"

Simon froze for a moment, wanted to refute, but had to admit that he really ignored this question.

A very critical question.

In case of improper operation, in the future, it is really possible to accidentally steal chickens and lose money to make wedding clothes for others.

Like Ukraine, Simon was originally intended to operate as a pilot. However, if Ukraine really develops in the future, it will hit it off with Western Europe, join the European Union, and merge into the euro zone.

In this way, it is even better to keep Eastern Europe in a dilapidated state of turmoil. Perhaps Western Europe can take advantage of some cheap human resources, but as long as Eastern Europe is bad enough in all aspects, the benefits to Western Europe will definitely be limited.

After thinking about it for a while, Simon was firm in his original idea.

The reason is simple, Eastern Europe, right there.

This side may keep Eastern Europe turbulent and depressed for a long time, but as long as there is a chance, Western Europe will definitely be able to develop it.

Therefore, the key to the matter is control.

While investing in the competition for various resources in Eastern Europe, North America must also carry out all-round penetration control over Eastern Europe, so as to prevent Eastern Europe from leaving when its wings are hardened, and turning to the arms of Western Europe, which is closer geographically.

Moreover, politics is one aspect, and economics is more important.

Before investing, careful planning must be done to ensure that the resources of Eastern Europe can be snatched, but the wings of this region cannot be hardened. Even, once some Eastern European countries show signs of defection, they must have sufficient countermeasures.

The choice of supporting industries is critical.

The first thing Simon immediately thought of was the foundry industry.

Labor-intensive, low-end industrial chain, critical moment, if you want to transfer, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Also, there are bindings.

Related industries must be tied to North America and rely as little as possible on Western Europe.

Thinking about it this way, and extending it a little bit, the Southeast Asian side is actually the same.

In case one day in the future, when it is supported, it will be cracked again, and Asia will be integrated, that will be really uncomfortable.

In short, detailed actuarial planning is required.

In the clubhouse cafe next to the golf course, Simon continued to chat with Soros while thinking about it. After another half an hour, Soros got up to leave.

The host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Soros, who originally wanted to inquire about Simon's layout intentions in Southeast Asia, failed to get an answer, but obtained another plan from the young tycoon, and they can implement it together. Simon also got a general idea of ​​how to deal with the euro from the old man, and then, naturally, it was executed.

There will definitely be no effect in the short term. However, compared to before, Simon feels that as long as the purpose this time is clear enough, it should not be a big problem to get this matter done within 20 years. As for twenty years later, there will be another big change.

After sending Soros away, Simon also left the golf course here.

It was already evening.

I rushed to another station of the Guofeng Art Troupe in East Hampton nearby. During this time, I made a few good dances.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Qing, who had just landed in New York and hurried over here, entered the private theater of the Guofeng Art Troupe, and the first thing she saw was the singing and dancing on the stage.

towards

Shirley, who came up to her, waved her hands, and Chen Qing walked to the sofa seat of her boss, and the man hugged left and right as usual.

After a little identification, the girls on the periphery are girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe, while the two snuggled up next to my boss are sisters who are nicknamed "Xiangxiangruanruan" by the man.

[In other words, the latest version of airread.com, which is currently the best for reading and listening to books, is installed. 】

Simon also quickly saw Chen Qing, and casually hugged the girl on the left to his lap, motioned for a girl to sit down, and continued to look at the stage.

Chen Qing came over and sat down, feeling a little crowded, and glanced at Yu Xuanniao who was next to her on the other side. The girl didn't dare to have any objections, showing a small expression of aggrieved, reluctant, but she still got up and left obediently.

Only then did he look to the other side.

The man in his arms is Xiang Xiang, his older sister or his younger sister. She is wearing a light pink midriff-length vest and the same pink mini-pleated skirt. Her white body is slender and petite, with a pair of bare feet curled up in front of her boss. In his arms, he looked more and more like a cat. Seeing Chen Qing looking at herself, the little girl felt safe after her scar was healed, and she gave a small backside glance, which made Chen Qing laugh, she reached out her hand unceremoniously, and pinched hard.

Hearing the painful cry of the girl in his arms, Simon looked away, and saw the little girl tearfully showing her pinched arm, glaring at the girl next to her, and protectively changed the position of the kitten in her arms, moving it to the other side .

Chen Qing didn't make any excuses, let's talk about it in private.

Because the girl changed her posture, when she glanced over again, she noticed something written on one of the little girl's thighs, and curiously looked a little closer.

Of course Chen Qing knew the other half, if this girl didn't have it, it should be on the other girl's lap: Yin and Yang are charcoal, everything is copper.

Heaven and earth are furnaces, good fortune is work; yin and yang are charcoal, and everything is copper.

A majestic ancient sentence.

Contacting her boss's recent series of frequent settlements, Chen Qing quickly understood why there was such a sentence. It is probably the ultimate pursuit of all powerful people to turn nature into work and scold Fang Qiu.
