Chapter 736

At the beginning of the meeting, the Clintons instinctively began to evaluate Simon's behavior, so as to determine the future mode of getting along with him.

This young man, who has created a series of business miracles in eight years, is bound to be the place that the whole of Washington can't get around in the future.

It's completely out of keeping with age.

Smooth.

There was no aggression on the surface.

In the face of Washington's core of power, he is neither humble nor arrogant.

These qualities have unconsciously left a deep impression on several Clinton people. Of course, they have not seen similar figures. Even the five people in this room have more or less similarities with Simon in their personalities. However, this extremely introverted personality is very rare for a 26 year old who has reached the top of the pyramid of human society at a young age.

If that's all, it's nothing after all.

There is no shortage of young adults in this society.

Until Gore talked about the topic of antitrust investigation, Simon westero gave some opinions on how Washington should deal with the new technology giants.

The style of painting suddenly changed.

Taking advantage of the advanced advantages accumulated by the Federation, the United States will finally realize its hegemony in the new technology industry in the information age by conquering the world through powerful technology giants.

This is a sudden appearance of a giant dragon hiding in the clouds.

It's a thrilling ambition.

Simon westero just said: I want to conquer the world!

Because at this stage, many cores of the emerging Internet industry are almost in the hands of Simon westero. If we really follow the way of thinking of the young people in front of us, the United States can really get great benefits. However, the ultimate goal is not the hegemony of the United States, but the hegemony of Simon westero.

One man's hegemony.

What's more, it's not that a young man who doesn't know the greatness of heaven and earth is talking. Simon westero really has the strength to realize this ambition.

Then came the question.

How should Washington choose?

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there is no doubt that the United States is the only superpower in the world.

However, several Washington core members in the reception room of the white house know that without the powerful enemy of the Soviet Union, the problem of long-term repression within the Federation for many years broke out immediately, such as fiscal deficit, high unemployment, polarization between the rich and the poor, military redundancy, and so on.

The unexpected failure of George W. Bush to seek re-election in 1992 and the dismal ending of the Democratic Party's mid-term election in 1994 are all closely related to the outbreak of chronic diseases accumulated in the United States over the years.

In the process of thinking about this issue, Simon also understood why politicians in many countries often transfer domestic conflicts by provoking disputes or even waging wars. Too often, they have to do so. If the negative emotions of the public can not be released regularly, it will only be the bad luck of the authorities themselves.

In the final analysis, it is still like the campaign slogan of Bill Clinton in the 1992 election.

The problem is still the economy.

The Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s and the long-term confrontation with the Soviet Union not only made the United States lose its absolute economic advantage accumulated after the two world wars, but also brought the country a huge national debt of more than 4 trillion US dollars. In the electrical age, the initiative of many core industries is unconsciously occupied by potential competitors such as Japan and Germany.

In a word, the foundation of the United States is not as bright as it seems.

The implementation of the information superhighway plan was originally intended to revive the U.S. economy.

However, except for Simon, no one can accurately see the future. The Washington high-level leaders who decide the direction of U.S. economic policy are not as deep into the new technology industry as Simon has been in recent years. There is no absolute certainty about the scale of these fields and whether they can really bring vitality to the U.S. economy.

Whether it can promote the U.S. economy to take off again still has doubts, and it is impossible to realize the U.S. economic hegemony in a new era through the global expansion of new technology industry.

Simon's words just now let several people present see the potential solutions to many problems in this country.

The industrial foundation of the local information age in the United States has been completed, and even has begun to take off.

Next, if the new technology industry with the Internet as the core can really reach the scale of trillions of dollars in the world, and the United States can successfully obtain the world-class hegemony of the new technology industry, under the global harvest, this alone will bring immeasurable economic benefits to this country every year.

With money, many problems are no longer problems.

If not for the fact that many lifelines of the Internet industry are in the hands of the westero system, at the end of this meeting, Clinton and others will immediately call the White House and the top of Congress to discuss Simon's proposal, because Simon westero's idea is really attractive. Once it is realized, not only will the unipolar hegemony of the United States be further entrenched, but also will be brought to the fore You have brought long-term and strong political capital.The five people in the reception room on the West Wing of the White House, except Bob Dole, 71, are all in their prime of life and have long political lives.

Simon said what he had just said. Seeing Clinton fall into silent thinking, he could roughly guess their thoughts. He didn't speak any more and began to drink coffee slowly.

Simon has been thinking for a long time about his plan to use new technology industries to capture the world.

Whether it can get the support of Washington or not, the westero system will be fully implemented. The only difference is that some adjustments will be made to the corresponding programs.

Since it was said in front of several core members of Washington just now, it must be covered with national interests.

Simon didn't expect much of that, though.

The more sophisticated and mellow a politician is, the less he will put the so-called national interests first, because there are too many things to consider in the most fierce circle of the game. You have to make sure that you are in the first place in order to seek political power. In fact, the core of western politics is to ensure that a country will not go to the worst choice through mutual checks and balances.

Of course, since it was put forward in front of the most powerful big men in Washington, the plan will not go unnoticed.

Simon has put forward a huge plan that can make the U.S. economy reach the top of the world again. If there are five people in the room and they don't support it, it's all right. If someone hinders the progress of this plan in the future, it may become the attack tool of the other party unconsciously.

This is also Simon's most basic appeal.

Just like the ongoing Department of justice antitrust investigation, with Simon's support for the Clintons, the two White House members didn't want to start the investigation from the beginning, just forced by the situation. Now, Simon has just given a step, a step for the White House to explain to Congress why it is easy to let go of westrow's monopoly on new technology industries.

A moment later, Hillary was still the first to say, "Simon, the westrow system can't hold everything in its hands. You have to give in."

Simon nodded: "I've talked to several senior executives of igritte, and the company will launch a listing plan in the near future."

On the day of the mid-term election, Simon made the decision after weighing the process of watching the rehearsal of Weimi.

The aim is still to speed up the integration of the westero system and the U.S. economy.

Newt Gingrich glanced discontentedly at Hillary, turned to Simon, and said, "is this a concession?"

Simon looked at Gingrich and said, "I can't take the initiative to give up the technical initiative of igritte's companies according to the terms of the Department of justice. The reason has just been said that we need this initiative. If I make a concession at home, overseas countries will only ask for the same treatment. In this way, our advantages in the field of new technology will quickly disappear. In exchange, I can share more of my benefits with the people in the Federation by going public. Now, in igritte, I own 90% of the shares, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan holding 5% respectively. Before the IPO, I will share about 20% of the shares to all employees of igritte. After the IPO starts, I can transfer another 20% of the shares to domestic investors, and the Westeros only keep 50%. "

Simon said, and the faces of those present were different.

However, most of the ideas can't help but favor Simon's plan to share 20% of the shares with igritte employees.

Even according to the industry's conservative valuation of $50 billion, 20% of the company's shares are worth $10 billion. In fact, more analysts believe that igrit's value is no less than that of Cisco and AOL, which are already at the level of 100 billion dollars.

What a big deal!

Denise Entertainment's IPO on July 1 this year has set an IPO record, which may not last long now.

Maybe that's why Simon westero is Simon westero.

"I want to work in igritte," Bob Dole said with a smile

Simon also smiles: "of course, no problem. I can promise now. Igrit needs a politician with your experience as a consultant to provide us with development advice. But if you stay in Washington for another ten years, Bob, igritt may have to wait a long time

Simon's words, Bob Doyle smile unchanged, but a flash of light in his eyes. The Clintons looked at each other and saw the haze on each other's faces.

Bob Dole is 71 years old. Many politicians have chosen to retire at this age. The reason why this old politician continues to insist is that he can't let go. Even more, Dole has to fight for the position of the White House in two years. If he can succeed, if he can be re elected, it will be exactly 10 years.

Simon westero, what does that mean? !

the Clintons don't believe Simon would be so stupid as to fall to the Republican Party in front of them. It's just that this kind of face-to-face courtship is an obvious demonstration against them.

A very provocative demonstration.

Does the boy really think that he and his wife dare not do anything to him?In order to ensure the continuity of the information superhighway plan, Simon will firmly support Clinton's re-election. However, he has made up his mind that in the 1996 election, the westero system will not fight like this mid-term election.

At least not on the surface.

Then, in the eyes of Clinton's competitors, the convergence of the westero system may be a manifestation of neutrality.

It's not so much fun to be politically neutral.

If you don't pay attention, you may not please both sides.

Nobody likes weeds.

However, it also depends on people. Simon would not consider neutrality a few years ago, because he does not have enough strength, so he may lose both bets. Now, through the mid-term elections just in the past, the westero system has shown its strong power to control the US general election. If it chooses neutrality again, it may not be flattered, but it will not be put on small shoes, because it is already one of the parties participating in the election, and it must be careful to try its best to win over.

Al Gore, a relative onlooker, looked at the expressions of four colleagues around him and realized that a young man had seized the initiative of the conversation in the room just with a seemingly unintentional remark. He didn't want to make a fuss any more. Al Gore once again took the initiative to stir up another sensitive topic of this meeting: "Simon, you need to give us an explanation about this mid-term election."

Simon turned to gore with a smile still harmless: "Al, I'm not interested in politics at all."

Newt Gingrich said, "but Simon, you actually do a lot of very cross-border things."

Simon glanced at a few people and said, "I just want to protect myself. I won't allow some people to encourage the idea of asset tax only for me."

The president said, "Simon, don't you think you already have too much?"

"Of course, I often feel that way."

“……”

"But it's not an excuse for people to take away my personal wealth. I do have a lot, and I am willing to give back to the society. However, the premise must be that I am voluntary. If someone comes to snatch, no matter who it is, I'll break his head and blood. "

Bob Dole spoke again in a gentle tone: "well, Simon, don't be so angry. However, we also need a guarantee from you, a real guarantee. After all, you really went too far this time. "

Hillary stares at dole.

He was discontented.

Bob Dole and his wife are supposed to be "bad policemen" and "good policemen".

It's obviously out of tune.

"As I said, I have no ambition for politics, and I don't want to spend my time doing these things as long as others don't provoke me. The political layout of the westero system is completely defensive." Simon pauses and says, "one tenth, I can guarantee that the westrow system will not support more than one tenth of the total number of members in both houses of Congress."

This time, neither party in the reception room was in a hurry.

A moment later, Newt Gingrich couldn't hold back and said, "Simon, one tenth is too much."

For the Congress, which is often deadlocked because of one or two votes, with a total of more than 500 members in the house and Senate, if the westrow system controls one tenth of them, it will almost be enough to determine the future of the Federation.

Simon said: "if I remember correctly, the number of members of Congress who received donations from the National Rifle Association is definitely far more than that."

Newt Gingrich retorted, "the rifle association doesn't have your big moves."

"Newt, haven't you read the latest news?"

"The media is used to exaggerating."

Simon can only shrug.

For the Republican politician, who also received huge political contributions from the National Rifle Association, the argument is obviously useless.
