After breakfast, Simon didn’t indulge within the goblin’s nest, however rushed to Manhattan by helicopter with Chen Qing.

Chen Qing goes to Cersei Capital to kind out some funding initiatives associated to China with the crew of Apollo Administration Firm, whereas Simon is speeding to the Westeros headquarters, which can also be situated within the Rockefeller Middle in Midtown.

The morning time was spent studying rigorously the details about the American shipbuilding trade collected by the assistant workplace crew led by Girl A.

That is one level Simon wants to show round within the coming years.

Because it approached midday, I joined James Leibold, who additionally got here to work on weekends, and rushed to Leibold’s mansion within the Higher East Facet, the place lunch had been organized.

The 2 mentioned the fabric Simon had seen within the morning alongside the way in which.

Simon could be very pessimistic concerning the prospects of the U.S. shipbuilding trade, based mostly on the data in his arms, not even in his head.

Luckily, it has solely been ten years because the finish of the Chilly Warfare, and this nation has not fully deserted its martial arts. Due to this fact, each the navy and civilian shipbuilding methods are very full, however on the civilian stage, the market share is being shortly swallowed up by associated firms in Japan and South Korea.

If it isn’t rescued instantly, maybe in ten years, the civilian shipbuilding trade in the USA shall be dispensable.

As for the navy stage, it’s much more tough to say.

For instance, the Ford, which was later constructed at a sky-high worth of greater than 10 billion US {dollars}, has not even shaped fight effectiveness after 5 years of launching. As for the rationale, it’s extremely embarrassing. It is not like China began from scratch, so it lacks expertise and expertise. The US lacks all the pieces. The issue is that the Ford itself has too many faults and numerous faults.

Individuals who did not know thought the Ford was constructed with the assistance of Indians.

Third Brother: I really feel offended!

All proper……

The subject has been prolonged to the dinner desk, along with the Rayboulds, there are married Philips.

Simon’s plan can also be easy.

Concentrate on assist.

It’s unattainable to save lots of the entire trade. Due to this fact, Simon plans to accumulate just a few shipbuilding firms that also have a superb basis, protecting each navy and civilian use. Then, use all of the assets and vitality of the Westeros system to assist it.

Not solely funds, but in addition the federal coverage stage, and even, if mandatory, the switch of know-how and abilities from abroad to the federal territory will be pressured.

South Korea, for instance, is an efficient goal for scouring wool.

The operation is much like the semiconductor reflow that has been used a few years later.

Nevertheless, it was already too late for a lot of issues at the moment, and this time, there’s nonetheless loads of time.

In fact, by way of semiconductors, Simon can even re-plan.

Philip’s spouse, Nora Registe, who acquired married shortly in the midst of the 12 months due to her being pregnant, is because of give beginning subsequent month, so it’s kind of inconvenient to maneuver round, so she insists on showing on the dinner desk.

Listening to Simon’s dialogue with everybody, Nora could not assist considering that half a 12 months in the past, on the lunch when Simon was invited to the marriage, a younger tycoon as soon as stated that he was unable to make too many adjustments to the Federation, as a result of the final time he tried to take action. The one who did it, was torn off the cranium.

Now……

Simon apparently nonetheless intends to take action.

Though, Nora noticed that Simon did not imply to do his greatest, however he was clearly going towards the pattern.

Go towards the pattern.

After efficiently marrying into the Leibold household, Nora turned extra steady. Due to this fact, this time, she did not even elevate her doubts, however she inevitably confirmed some expressions and revealed her interior ideas.

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

In fact I keep in mind my angle.

Nora didn’t disguise, smiled and nodded.

Simon thought for some time and stated, “Some issues are at all times performed by folks, and I am not some man who will problem the windmill in any respect prices, I can solely do what I can.”

In reality, what Simon did not say is that if his efforts usually are not fruitful within the subsequent ten years, he’ll flip with out hesitation.

Flip to tear the nation aside.

LGBT usually are not sufficient, LGBTQIAPKDX is taken into account a cross. Two genders is just not sufficient, three genders can also be discrimination, 73 genders is the usual.

In brief, the last word objective is to make numerous teams assault one another, hate one another, abuse one another, problem one another… as a way to be sure that the folks can by no means be united.

To take action would, after all, injury the very foundations of the nation.

Nevertheless, because it can’t be reversed it doesn’t matter what, it will likely be broken whether it is broken. Then, flip to Latin Americanization, in order that the underside layer is confused and powerless, and the higher layer of the pyramid can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and grasp all the pieces.

At the moment, the underside layer can get the best diploma of ‘freedom’, and the facility beneath $950 shall be given to you; the privileges of BLM can even be given to you; even the slogan of MAGA will be given to you, and everybody can create it at will. Nevertheless, in the event that they present any indicators of turning their heads within the ‘mistaken’ route, comparable to Capitol Hill, and many others., or… In brief, essentially the most extreme repression and blackening of public opinion shall be carried out instantly.

The Commonwealth won’t ever enable such a factor as a lovely panorama.

To a sure level, not one of the folks within the recreation are harmless, so Simon won’t really feel responsible or soft-hearted.

Simon is simply to guard himself.

I Tried!

With these flashes in his thoughts, Simon turned to Philip and talked about another factor: “Phil, I discussed it to your father on the way in which again, and then you definitely go to work within the Ministry of Commerce. I hope you’ll be able to change your place.”

To assist George W. Bush’s clean inauguration, Simon definitely will not solely want one secretary of state.

Philip has been working within the Ministry of Finance for the previous few years, and likewise participated within the negotiation of the rescue plan that the US authorities managed the IMF and the South Korean authorities. Lately, he has amassed appreciable expertise and contacts.

The unique plan was for Philip to maneuver to the Commerce Division subsequent, as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Worldwide Commerce and as Director of the Worldwide Commerce Bureau connected to this place.

Though Philip is just 29 years previous this 12 months, age is just not a problem on this nation.

Moreover, the aim of selecting this place can also be apparent, which is to cooperate with the worldwide enlargement of the Westeros system.

Nevertheless, Simon has just lately modified his thoughts.

James clearly hadn’t talked about it to his son, and Philip was somewhat shocked: “Simon, what?”

Simon stated: “I need you to be the assistant secretary of commerce for trade and safety, and run the Bureau of Trade and Safety, not the earlier one.”

The Assistant Secretary for Trade and Security of the Ministry of Commerce, by the title, ‘trade’ could be very simple to know, however by way of ‘security’, many individuals might first really feel that it’s related to ‘trade’, considering that it’s answerable for supervising manufacturing security and the like.

Really not.

The ‘safety’ right here, which was later thought of well-known, refers to ‘nationwide safety’.

Up to now ten or twenty years, when the USA launched sanctions, probably the most in style excuses used is ‘nationwide safety’, and the division that initiates sanctions is commonly the US Division of Commerce, and is managed by the Division of Trade and Safety beneath the Division of Commerce. The Bureau is answerable for the formulation and implementation.

Nevertheless, to be extra skilled, the operate of the Bureau of Trade and Safety is to oversee all commerce actions that will have an effect on the nationwide safety of the USA, comparable to import and export management of cutting-edge know-how, import and export management of delicate items, supervision and management of worldwide foreign money settlement, and so forth.

Listening to what Simon stated, and eager about the dialogue concerning the shipbuilding trade simply now, Philip instantly understood why his brother-in-law made such an association.

Merely put, it’s to suppress the hollowing out of the American industrial system.

To place it extra plainly, for instance, if the Bureau of Trade and Security says that sure components of a sure plane can’t be subcontracted to abroad producers, then it can’t be turned abroad, and might solely be produced domestically. Or, if the Bureau of Trade and Safety believes that sure semiconductor applied sciences can’t be know-how transferred, it restricts the related applied sciences to stay in the USA, thereby preserving extra associated industries and jobs for the federal authorities.

This can be a tremendous floodgate that forestalls the outflow of federal trade.

Glancing at his father, seeing James nodding barely, Philip thought for some time, and nodded shortly: “Okay, Simon, I’ll comply with your association.”

Nora subsequent to Philip glanced at her husband, then on the reverse in-laws and Simon, opened her mouth barely, however nonetheless did not say something.

In spite of everything, each husband and father-in-law have agreed, to not point out Simon’s resolution. If she opens her mouth to cease it, it’s prone to take advantage of vital family members really feel dangerous.

Nora has at all times been clear in her coronary heart that her mother-in-law doesn’t look down on her, and she or he has at all times been grumpy about her use of being pregnant to advertise this marriage. In brief, since her husband has no opinion, she won’t say anything.

The explanation why Nora does not need Philip within the place is straightforward.

It is too simple to offend folks.

Lately, the assorted relocation, outsourcing and know-how switch of the Federation is a normal pattern. What Philip has to do is in line with Simon’s plan, or go towards the overall pattern.

Nora may even think about that after her husband takes workplace, he won’t solely decrease the floodgates to strengthen supervision, however can even assessment numerous industries which have left the nation previously few years, forcing a few of them to relocate again to the nation, which makes capitalists make much less and even no cash. If you concentrate on it, you’ll be able to perceive how a lot backlash it’s going to trigger.

Simon, after all, has these ideas, and he understands that everybody sitting right here is aware of his ideas. Seeing Philip agree, after eager about it, he added: “I nonetheless have the angle simply now, Phil, we are going to solely attempt to do what we will, If the resistance is just too nice, we won’t offend everybody to drive it ahead.”

In any case, it’s a lot simpler to begin now than to attempt in useless twenty years from now.

Simon’s objective is definitely to delay.

To reduce the tempo of the nation from prosperity to say no.

It is like a basic survival story: two folks meet a bear within the forest. To outlive, they need not run quicker than the bear, they simply have to outrun the opposite individual.

The identical goes for nations.

Identical to the USA, outperforming the Soviet Union, turning round to devour the legacy of the Soviet Union, consuming and ingesting, after which working quick for a few years.

Simon had a plan early on.

The Soviet Union outperformed within the Nineteen Nineties, and the following time the Commonwealth will ‘outperform’ shall be Europe.

In fact, as a way to guarantee his personal victory, he should privately throw some obstacles beneath the toes of Europe to make sure that the old-armed and old-legged Europe fully falls down and might by no means stand up once more.

At the moment, when you say much less, you’ll be able to reap greater than ten or twenty years of life extension.

Then proceed to eat with the following goal.

In spite of everything, the ‘bear’ is there, and the change between bull and bear is sort of a growth and a bust, and nobody can keep away from it, however historical past has confirmed time and time once more that you just need not outrun the bear, you simply have to run quicker than your opponent .

Then, return and decide up the corpse.

The best way of man is to lose sufficient and serve greater than sufficient.
