This may only be regarded as a vision for a long time in the future, but the road is made step by step.

Of course, Simon is willing to spend money, but it doesn't mean that the funds of the Westeros family are so easy to get.Next, the Westeros family's regulatory review of relevant funds will only become more stringent to ensure that the money is used where it should be used instead of being pocketed by others.

In the evening, Simon and Janet, who were acting together as a couple this time, left the NASA headquarters and rushed to the White House together.

In the evening, the Clintons specially arranged a small reception for Simon and his wife. Vice President Al Gore and his wife and many powerful figures in Washington attended together.

The Clintons obviously made preparations in advance, and the theme of the reception was to explore the next stage of human civilization.

"Simon, don't you think that if the next stage of human civilization really comes, there will be serious ethical issues?"

Inside the White House Ballroom.

Several core members of the reception gathered around, and Patty Gore, the wife of Vice President Gore, asked this question.

Simon hugged Janet's waist and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, Patty, some people may live to be 1000 years old in the future, and some people will still not live to be 100 years old. Moreover, after a long dormant interstellar travel After waking up, the still young traveler is connected to the earth, and his biological age may be comparable to his descendants who have been on the earth for several generations. These seem to be very big problems. However, if we push forward 1000 years, then If people at that time knew that the current head of state can only be the head of state for a maximum of 8 years, not only is there no more slaves in this society, but everyone still has the right to vote, they would definitely find it incredible, wouldn’t they?”

Patty Gore obviously didn't react, but everyone else quickly laughed.

After Al Gore laughed, he explained to his wife: "What Simon means is that human ethics, like social systems, are constantly improving and evolving. My dear, we'd better leave future things to people in the future. Let’s deal with it, we’re only in charge of the present.”

Everyone chatted and laughed, and Simon and his wife left to entertain other guests. Until the end of the reception, a White House staff member came to invite him in a low voice, and Simon followed him to a small reception room in the White House.

Clinton is already waiting here.

"Simon, you did what happened in South Korea, right?"

Simon didn't deny it, sat down on the sofa with Clinton, nodded and said: "I said, let the Koreans go back on their own."

"But the problem is..." Clinton said distressedly: "I spoke with Kim Young-sam again today. The Blue House is very embarrassed now. Now that he has made a public promise to the public, it will be difficult for Kim Young-sam to change his attitude in a short time, otherwise it will be Broken promises, you know, South Korea happens to be another election year, if you break your promises, the consequences will be very serious.”

Chapter 1206 Do you want to hear the truth?

Hearing what Clinton said, Simon shrugged and said, "Bill, the Blue House is embarrassing. This is a matter for the Koreans themselves. Of course, Kim Young-sam can also stand by and watch the country's economy go into ruin in order to ensure the continuation of his ruling party's power. In any case, It's their choice."

The corner of Clinton's mouth twitched: "Simon, you promised me."

"I know, Bill," Simon said, "but if we all send bread to the mouths of Koreans, they will not open their mouths for the sake of face, and would rather starve to death, and that's not my reason."

Clinton was helpless: "The problem is, Simon, the current ruling party is still very close to the Federation. We cannot judge how the other two will treat the Federation if Li Jinchang loses the election."

Kim Young-sam has been in power since 1993. On the surface, the relationship between the United States and South Korea is not good, and there are various frictions and differences.

In fact, in recent years, the trade negotiations between the United States and South Korea on food, tobacco, and automobiles have all ended in South Korea's compromise.In contrast, Japan stuck to its bottom line during the auto trade negotiations with the United States two years ago, thus preventing Japan's auto industry from repeating the mistakes of the semiconductor industry.

Moreover, in the past, the IMF aid agreement, which can almost be said to completely abandon South Korea's economic sovereignty, was also signed before the Kim Young-sam government stepped down.

This is the real attitude.

Therefore, it has once again confirmed the truth of the phrase "don't look at what a person says, but look at how a person does it".

Simon raised his legs, leaned casually on the armrest of the sofa, and said in a relaxed tone: "Frankly, Bill, do we need to care about the attitude of the Koreans?"

Clinton smiled wryly: "Simon, you must always explain the rules on the surface."

"Actually, you don't need to care about it," Simon added, adding: "Don't worry, I believe that Washington must have a more detailed assessment of the other two candidates than me, not to mention the Blue House's right to speak in South Korea It is not as big as imagined, especially after this crisis."

Regarding whether to save South Korea, there are actually differences in Washington.

Not to mention specifics, but on the White House side, Clinton is a staunch pro-Korean faction. Therefore, it is inevitable to complain about Simon's messing up things over the past weekend.However, seeing that the young people on the opposite sofa were all talking about this, Clinton stopped continuing, and switched to a relaxed tone: "Simon, you know that at the end of the month...I mean, about China, you were just a few days ago Come back from Beijing, can you give me some advice?"

"What do you want to hear about?"

"Economically."

"Bill, you want to hear the truth?"

"of course."

"Then, the advice I can give is to deepen cooperation and deepen cooperation to the greatest extent."

Clinton was obviously surprised, and his tone was a little teasing and tentative: "Simon, are you sure you are saying this from the standpoint of the Federation?"

Simon smiled and looked over: "Bill, do you think someone can bribe me, in any form?"

Clinton pondered for a while, and then he understood.

With the current wealth and status of the young man in front of him, it would be unrealistic for anyone to change his position in any way unless Simon himself is willing.

"In this case, I don't understand?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "For example, 100 years ago, well, in this way, if you can go back 100 years ago, you were a capitalist in the UK. In order to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family business, you need to choose the next step. Investment direction, Bill, how would you choose?"

Clinton, of course being a smart guy, blurted out: "America."

"Yes," Simon said, "One of the biggest mistakes Europe made 100 years ago was that they thought they would always be the center of the world. As a result, after 100 years, the Federation will be the center of the world."

Clinton digested for a moment, and his expression became serious: "Simon, according to your thinking, what we should do is to contain China, not invest heavily in China."

"Bill, do you think Europe didn't try to contain the development of the Federation?" Simon continued to look at each other: "What's more, it's not 100 years ago now. This is an era destined to be globalized. At the same time, because of the emergence of nuclear weapons, It also leads to the fact that as long as we don't want to destroy together, it is impossible to contain our competitors through the most effective means of launching large-scale wars."

Clinton thought for a while before saying, "Simon, I still don't think your idea is appropriate."

Simon smiled and said, "That's why I just asked you if you want to listen to the truth, Bill, I can make up a lie for you."

Clinton pondered for a moment again, and said, "Simon, the current economic gap between China and the United States is more than 10 times. I suddenly feel that the analogy you just made may be a bit exaggerated?"

"I remember reading it in a book, Bill," Simon said with flat eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is."

Clinton tasted it a little, nodded and said, "It's a very profound sentence, it seems that there should be a grand story as a backdrop, Simon, can you recommend this book to me?"

Simon shook his head: "I read too many books, I forgot where I saw it, I just remember this sentence."

Clinton didn't pursue it, and returned to the topic just now: "Well, then, according to your thinking, Simon, our maximum investment in China will instead promote the rise of China. This does not seem to be of any benefit to the Federation?"

"Going back 100 years, Bill, if you were a visionary British capitalist trying to invest in every aspect of America, steel, oil, electricity, etc., then maybe, like the Agnellis in Italy, the Clintons are now It will become the real 'royal family' behind the scenes in the United States, and that is the benefit."

Clinton reacted immediately this time, and did not answer for a while, but looked at Simon somewhat strangely.

With the huge assets owned by the young people in front of them, the Westeros family, now said to be the "royal family" behind the scenes in the United States, is almost the same.

Clinton then thought of the 100-year-old analogy that Simon repeatedly mentioned, and a somewhat absurd idea came to mind.However, as a realistic and rational person, he quickly put aside these nonsensical thoughts, and said again: "Simon, maybe what you said makes sense, but I don't think it's easy to use your thinking to convince other people .”

Simon spread his hands slightly: "I don't need you to convince me, Bill, I'm already doing it. What's more, they don't want to follow up, but it will make me less competitors."

Clinton was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Well, now I fully understand why you have been so enthusiastic about China in recent years."
