Chapter 1234

Domay point manor.

It's after breakfast on Sunday. On a sunny morning, by the glass curtain wall of shell villa with beautiful sea view, Simon, Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston are sitting on the sofa beside the curtain wall. The two brothers are reading Kim Yong San's letter.

Anthony Johnston finished reading the handwritten letter in English, handed it to his brother, took a sip of coffee in front of him, leaned over the sofa and said, "Simon, South Korea is so small and xenophobic. I don't understand why you are interested in this country."

Simon also leaned on the sofa, holding a coffee cup, relaxed and comfortable posture, heard: "because all aspects of the timing is too appropriate."

Anthony is also paying close attention to the Asian financial crisis. Of course, after thinking about it, he said, "but I think no matter what you like about South Korea, we can do it ourselves."

Simon shook his head: "Tony, there is an old Chinese saying, to the effect that the top class uses others, the middle class uses intelligence, and the bottom class uses physical strength. If we have to do everything ourselves, we will only confine ourselves to the middle class category of using personal intelligence."

Anthony said with a smile, "Simon, I know what you mean. But what I mean is that just because we do it ourselves doesn't mean we have to use our brains to do it. "

Simon thought for a moment, and then he said with the same smile, "well, Tony, maybe we should put ourselves on another level, a higher pattern of directly using the upper class instead of the middle class to expand for us."

"I think Simon's right," said Norman Johnston, who had quickly scanned Kim Yong San's letter before Anthony answered. He then looked at his wife and brother, or cousin, and asked, "Simon, what are your specific arrangements for Korea?"

Antony Johnston and Norman Johnston brought their families to North America to visit their sister's family in name. In fact, they discussed Simon's core lithium, nickel, cobalt and other mineral resources in the future layout of battery industry in person, which needs Johnston's family to undertake.

All day yesterday, the three brothers have been discussing the relevant details, and initially finalized a lot of things.

Today is a rest.

However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Kim Yong San's personal letter, I would like to talk about the layout of this important chess piece for South Korea in the next step.

Simon listened to Norman's question and said, "in Korea, I prefer semiconductors and LCD screens. I don't want to talk more about this part. Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I hope that Australia can help us to eat the shipbuilding industry of South Korea together. In addition, there are two parts: Construction and machinery, which Australia can participate in appropriately. Well, I'll ask a to sort out a piece of information for you later. "

The two brothers nodded together. Norman Johnston, who has been responsible for Asian affairs, thought about it and said, "Simon, I know you have always been optimistic about China. You think that with China's huge population of 1.2 billion, it is likely to become the world's largest producer and consumer country in the future, and then drive the development of the global economy and the outbreak of material transportation volume If we bet on the shipbuilding industry, there is no problem. But, Simon, have you thought about it, in case we make a mistake? "

Brother asked, Anthony also looked over.

This is probably the same concern of the two people.

Especially in Australia, many layouts of Johnston holdings in recent years, including the iron and steel industry, and even the large-scale investment in China's coal industry some time ago, as well as the Korean shipbuilding mentioned at this time, are all based on the premise of the rapid rise of China's economy in the next few years.

But what if it's wrong?

If these things do not happen at this time, the whole westrow system may not be broken, but Johnston holding will have a big fall.

This situation is roughly like that a down jacket company judges that the coming winter will be very cold according to various kinds of information, so it increases production efforts before the winter comes, and tries to make a profit in the cold month. As a result, it unexpectedly ushers in a super warm winter with few even below zero.

Facing similar changes, bankruptcy is not impossible.

Simon also knew that the two brothers' consideration was reasonable. After a little consideration, he said: "Tony, Norman, I can only say that we are now in a very favorable position to actively manipulate and influence the direction of the world economy, rather than the small and medium-sized capital that can only passively adapt to the economic cycle. In such a favorable situation, we should have the courage to do enough layout. If we fail again, it can only be said that we are very unlucky. "

Two people smell speech, all nod.

Influenced by his grandfather and father's personality, the two brothers are not short of ambition and will not be satisfied with the status quo of Johnston family. Now, this is actually the brother of the family, who has created such a superior situation for us. There is no reason for them to shrink back.

If you don't even have this spirit of adventure, you don't have to do anything.

Thinking of this, the two brothers had the same idea as their father. If only this little brother could return to the family and change his name to Johnston. In this way, the Johnston family will become one of the most powerful families on the planet.Unfortunately, it's useless to think too much.

Norman Johnston quickly asked, "Simon, you said that China's accession to the WTO will be a turning point in the country's economic rise. In this case, should we take the initiative to accelerate this matter?"

Simon nodded, then shook his head. "We'll make sure it happens, but we don't have to push it forward."

Norman Johnston didn't understand for a moment.

Anthony explained to his younger brother with a smile: "China's accession to the WTO a little later, on the contrary, we can have more time for layout."

Norman suddenly turned to smile and said, "speaking up, Simon, my father appreciates your use of Hong Kong as an international speculator this time. He thinks this is what Johnston boys should do. However, my father is also dissatisfied with your last mercy. He doesn't think it's necessary. What do you think? "

Norman said, or local time on Friday that day the Hang Seng index trend.

According to the ability of westrow system, quantum fund and other Wall Street capitals, it is not impossible to directly raise the Hang Seng Index to 12000 points or even 13000 points on the same day if the chips of other international speculators are basically exhausted.

If we really create a super extreme market with a one-day increase of more than 20%, the result of short positions will probably be equivalent to Simon's memory that a domestic bank was trapped by 30 billion yuan overnight in crude oil futures, and at that time, only one of the international speculators was trapped. This time, on Friday, if we really work hard, we will pit a large group of people.

It's not enough to describe the sadness.

Moreover, in that case, in addition to some top financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank, many other small and medium-sized short capital can not afford to pay, and can only be paid by the Hong Kong authorities.

Simon shook his head with a smile and said to the two brothers, "you can't do that. Then many institutions will really rebound."

Pit a family, can only admit bad luck.

Pit a group of people, and still beat the bone to suck the marrow, leaving no room to die pit, others have no way to live, do not rebound will not work.

Simon explained this, and Norman suddenly realized it.

Anthony nodded slightly in agreement, then looked at his brother: "that's why my father said, Simon is more ambitious than you, but at the same time, he knows more about propriety."

Norman Johnston was helpless.

I can't remind you. He just said that his old man was not very satisfied with Simon's mercy.

However, who let the little brother in the family stand out the most? The old man said that everything Simon did was right.

Just like the chaos of someone's private life, if Simon is just a poor boy who just met his sister ten years ago and dares to mess around like this, his old man will not shoot him.

Now, because in the old man's mind, this is more of his nephew, very, very promising, or more accurately, Simon Johnston. As a result, there is nothing wrong with young people over treating women. What's more, the eldest son and the second son are all pure of their own. In the future, the other kids will not be able to share much.

With this in mind, Norman Johnston pointed to the handwritten letter he had just read on the coffee table: "Simon, how do you plan to respond to this letter? Will you provide assistance to South Korea?"

Simon shook his head: "no, what I'm promoting now is South Korea's first opening up of restrictions on foreign ownership of enterprises. In addition, you don't have to worry. For Korean shipbuilding, machinery and other enterprises, it's better to take over slowly in the next few years. "

Norman generally understood that this was Simon's judgment of South Korea's economic trend, but he was still curious, hoping for a more specific reason: "why?"

"South Korea is only suffering from the financial system at present. The impact of the crisis on the real industry will be apparent in the next two years." Simon explained: "in addition, for example, the two largest consortia in South Korea, Hyundai and Daewoo, are mainly heavy industries. Because they are too large, they belong to the key enterprises supported by South Korea. If we don't let them fall into enough crisis, we want to take over. It's not only the plutocrats who think they are not in crisis that will have resistance themselves, but the South Korean government wants to get through It's not easy

"Actually, I think..." Anthony said at this time: "Simon, your intervention in Hong Kong this time may have unexpectedly ended the continued spread of the Asian financial crisis. In this case, the current problems in South Korea may not be too serious. "

Simon said confidently, "we are chess players, Tony. As long as we don't want the game to end, they have to continue."

Norman said: "in this way, Simon, your different attitudes towards different countries in Asia will be revealed, such as South Korea, and they may feel your hostility."

Simon just laughed: "Norman, I have different attitudes towards Asian countries. For China, we are partners, because China is too big to eat. For Korea, we are the conquerors. The conquerors don't need to think too much about the feelings of the conquered, because no conquered wants to be conquered. "

Norman once again felt his younger brother's ambition in his seemingly relaxed words, but still said: "Simon, the nationality of South Korea is extremely fierce. If we do this, we may become the target of resistance of the South Korean people.""It's back to what we've just discussed," Simon said. "I said just now that we're going to be the upper class people who use the upper class. For South Korea, our strategy is like this. We will not stand in front of the stage directly. On the surface, South Korea's economy will still be controlled by those plutocrats. What we have to do is to control those plutocrats. At that time, the Korean people will only know that the chaebol is controlling them and oppressing them. In addition, the incompetence of the government leads them to be oppressed by the chaebol. In order to comply with the public opinion, the Korean government has to fight with the chaebol frequently and is unable to care about others. In this way, there is a contradictory relationship among the plutocrats, the government and the people. They play games with each other, and everything has nothing to do with us. We just need to watch and harvest our own interests

Anthony and his wife were both thoughtful.

A moment later, Anthony said, "I think Simon, the whole westero system, can use this way."

With a volume of trillions, the westero system is basically a separate economy second only to the United States and Japan. If the goal is too big, it will inevitably become a target for the conflicts of various countries and forces. If you want to avoid falling into a target or even being shot into a sieve, it is necessary to take the initiative to transfer contradictions and avoid being targeted.

"I've started to do that, not just in North America, but all over the world," Simon nodded. "One of my goals is to make the Westeros a single economy that dominates the world economy above all other countries and become the ultimate chess player. We do not stand on any position, so no one, and no one is allowed to transfer contradictions to us. In fact, it is just like the global expansion of Britain, the caste system of India and the massacre in Rwanda three years ago. Fundamentally, they are all the results of the strategy of the British Empire's deliberate localization and division in order to avoid being targeted. After all, the sun never sets Empire only occupied a part of the world, and we will take the whole planet as the chessboard in the future. "

Norman Johnston nodded subconsciously and said with a smile, "Simon, I think we should sit together more and have a chat in the future. It can bring us a lot of insights."

Simon said with a smile, "in fact, talking with ray has the same effect."

Norman shook his head and said, "no, my father prefers to teach us how to do it directly, but he doesn't like to explain the truth. In fact, he probably doesn't understand the truth, just the instinct of a merchant family."
