Domay point manor.
After dinner, Jennifer instructs the waitresses to clean up the dining room and take care of the six kids in the family. Then, with a document, she goes to the study on the ground floor of shell villa.
Having been Simon's assistant for a long time, Jennifer is familiar with these things.
Simon and Janet are standing together in front of a large world map on the wall of their study, discussing something, and occasionally drawing on the map with a pen.
Standing by and looking at it for a moment, Jennifer motioned for the file in hand: "this is the list of company for Thursday's lunch. Simon, do you think there is anything that needs to be adjusted?"
"You can do it as you see," Simon said. Instead of answering the papers, he reached over to the female assistant, motioned to the map of the world in front of him, changed the Chinese, and said with a smile, "look, this is the land I have laid for you."
Over the years, Jennifer's Chinese is no worse than Janet's, but obviously she still can't understand Simon's words. She thinks that the man is making a fool of him, but she still looks around the man.
On weekdays, the cleaning and arrangement of this private study is in the charge of Jennifer and a few confidants. Naturally, she knows that the map of the world in the study has been painted by men for a long time. She quickly distinguishes some of the changes and points out some notes on several routes extending from Africa: "battery, what do you mean?"
"It was inspired by the conversation with Goldman's Paulson at the New York cocktail party a few days ago," Simon said with a smile. "You know, I have paid a lot of attention to rechargeable batteries in recent years, but after Paulson's unexpected reminder, I found that my layout is far from enough."
At last week's cocktail party, Simon and Paulson talked about the future of the automobile industry by chance. Paulson came to the judgment that "whoever gets the battery gets the world". After that brief conversation, Simon actually came to the same conclusion.
Before that, frankly speaking, Simon's focus on the rechargeable battery industry was more for the electronic product business of westero system, such as a series of main products of tincobell, such as Nokia's mobile phone, etc.
For the rest, Simon really hasn't considered the long term.
After that conversation, Simon, who was accidentally awakened, suddenly felt that more layout could be made in advance.
The opportunity brought about by the spread of the Asian financial turmoil around the world is also very suitable for layout.
Hearing the man's words, Jennifer asked, "what does this have to do with Africa?"
Simon pointed to the DRC region in Central Africa: "according to the current exploration results, there are a large number of important deposits of lithium, nickel, cobalt and so on, which are necessary for future batteries."
So without waiting for Jennifer to ask again, Simon took the initiative to add, indicating the three routes extending from Africa to the east coast of the United States, Ukraine in the hinterland of Europe and China: "Africa provides raw materials, after primary refining, they are transported to North America, East Europe and China for refining, and then, further, they are processed into the electricity we need Pool, a lot of batteries. "
"What do we need so many batteries for?" she said, bending her mouth
"Making cars," Simon said, "imagine how many batteries it takes to replace all the billions of diesel locomotives in the world with electric vehicles?"
Even if she had been a housewife for several years, her head didn't slow down at all, and she soon grew up a little.
Of course she can imagine.
If Simon's scenario is really realized, the role of batteries in the future is likely to be equivalent to that of oil today. Mastering the lifeblood of the international battery industry means mastering the global "energy" lifeblood.
Janet, on the other side of Simon, was also excited and said, "maybe in the future, there will be some wars around the core industry related to batteries. The first battery war, the second battery war, ha ha."
Jennifer felt Janet's excitement when she talked about the war. She gave a white look at the past: "the third is the world war. Everyone will be destroyed together."
"I've been looking forward to it."
Jennifer doesn't have that much time to talk crazy with the two guys here. She says, "I'll go up first. Don't be too late."
Finish saying to kiss next with the man, turned round to leave the study.
Without waiting for the female assistant to disappear, Janet took Simon's arm and raised the pen she had just held in her hand. She also made a mark in Latin America and said, "I will talk with my elder brother recently. In this case, in Australia, not just Africa, we should increase the exploration and acquisition of core materials related to battery industry worldwide."
Simon nodded and said, "it doesn't need to be too obvious to arouse other people's vigilance. We can spend ten years to layout slowly."
"Ten years, so long?"
Simon said with a smile: "in the next 10 years, we need to continue to consolidate our current advantages in the field of Internet and other technology, as well as to explore emerging markets such as China. After that, we just need a new growth point, and the electric vehicle plan can be implemented."Janet thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The two talked about the map again. They came to the big desk by the window. Simon sat down on the leather chair. Instead of pulling another chair, Janet sat down on Simon's lap and looked at today's financial situation in Asia.
Janet thought of another thing and leaned back slightly: "honey, in this case, I think we should make some layout in the automotive field in advance. It's technology accumulation, isn't it?"
Simon put a kiss on the woman's white face and said with a smile, "not only can we not do this, but we should reduce the relevant layout as much as possible."
Janet blinked.
"Think about North America, why is it so difficult to develop a cheaper and more efficient rail system?" Simon cautioned
Janet just thought about it, and it was clear.
Interest driven.
Of course, there is no shortage of Railways in North America, but compared with the aviation and highway systems, the American railway system is backward and dilapidated.
Why?
Because the huge aviation and highway interest system does not allow.
Boeing is not allowed, aviation union is not allowed, general motors and Ford are not allowed, truck drivers union is not allowed
Let's extend it a little bit. Why is there a lack of public transport systems in big cities in the United States? Some world-class metropolises have not been able to repair their subways for decades. Or is it the same reason that public transport is so developed that fewer people buy cars?
So, it's not that there is no money, it's that too many people don't want to see this result.
Because it will affect their interests.
In addition to the westero system, if we invest too much in traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and develop electric vehicles in the future, even if Simon is willing to sacrifice the interests of traditional automobile business to eliminate himself, there will be too many interests involved and delay to prevent Simon from doing so.
Even the vistrow system's development of controllable nuclear fusion is bound to encounter various imaginable obstacles, which must come from the traditional fossil energy interest groups.
In any case, at least in order to minimize the possible obstacles in his own system, Simon will not get involved in the traditional automobile industry too much.
Janet wants to understand this, so she doesn't pursue it any more and looks at the briefing in front of her with the man.
After last week's abandonment of the new Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won, Asian stock, bond and foreign exchange markets continued to fluctuate today.
Under the tacit understanding of all, Hong Kong stocks once again bear the brunt. The Hang Seng Index fell sharply again by 7.3% in a single day, from 11392 points on Friday to 10561 points at the close. Except for a few informed groups secretly planning, few ignorant bystanders don't think that the Hang Seng index is bound to fall below 10000 points.
As there is no one to take over the short contracts of the Hang Seng index above 10000 points, a large number of speculative capital can only place bets within 10000 points, and this part of the short contracts are almost accepted.
In the next two days, exactly one and a half trading days before a press conference at 2:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, there is no accident that the Hang Seng index will be tacitly pushed into the 9000 point range, to be exact, around 9500, attracting the last wave of short speculators.
Then close the net.
After reading the relevant data in Hong Kong, Janet looked up again: "the Hong Kong government has prepared us $15 billion to actively support the market, which is tantamount to giving up the free market rule of non-interference in financial floating. I wonder if other countries will follow suit, such as South Korea. If they do the same, some of our layout will not be so easy to implement?"
Simon was a little impressed with Janet's insight.
In the past, in August 1998, Hong Kong abandoned the principle of non-interference in the market and actively invested funds to support the Hang Seng Index. This was a very risky move, because it might damage the reputation of Hong Kong's free market. However, the result proved the correctness of this move.
After the financial security war in Hong Kong, the international speculators finally stopped, making Hong Kong and even the whole mainland calm.
Seeing the positive effect of Hong Kong's active intervention in the market, a month later, Malaysia also began to take the initiative to intervene, and even later Russia, even more ruthlessly, directly played a big trick, avoiding the complete destruction of its own financial system, and at the same time, directly liquidating a hedge leader in the industry named long term capital management company in the United States. Due to the huge size of long-term capital management company's position, it almost caused a systemic financial crisis in the United States, which forced the Federal Reserve to intervene actively.
Therefore, it can be said that Hong Kong's active intervention in the market can be described as the first cold water to dampen the Asian financial crisis that lasted for two years and spread to the world.
This time, if the Chinese authorities make a decision one year in advance, it is obvious that there is also the possibility of triggering imitation.
Simon thought about it and said, "at least South Korea has no chance, because the situation of South Korea is totally different from that of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has sufficient foreign exchange reserves, good economic structure, and almost no foreign debt. Although this operation has some bad rules, it is also a game within the financial rules. South Korea is different. The main problem of South Korea is foreign debt. If the South Korean government wants to intervene, all it can do is to completely ignore the rules, impose foreign exchange control, specify the exchange rate, and even prohibit capital outflow. As an export-oriented country, doing this may stop the bleeding for a while, but at the same time, it means that South Korea has completely given up its own economic future. ”Janet listened to Simon finish, but narrowed her eyes: "I don't think so. The world is always forgetful."
Simon pondered for a moment, but still had to admit that Janet's judgment was still correct.
Russia once played a trick, but later, through internal changes and the sharp rise in oil prices at the beginning of the new century, it once returned to the top ten world first-line economies in terms of global GDP.
Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries or regions that have adopted regulatory measures in the Asian financial crisis have been criticized for a long time by various economists for their long-term negative effects. However, if we look at the GDP ranking of these countries, we can see that in addition to the short-term trough after the crisis, the time line will be lengthened, in 1997, 2007 and 17 In the past year, there were few changes, and even a rise instead of a fall.
The world is really forgetful.
However, Simon quickly said, "I don't care about the rest. At least, South Korea dares to let my plan fail. I will let them never have a future."
This time Janet didn't retort. She nodded her head and rubbed her face against Simon's jaw.
In fact, at first, Janet was still wondering why her man wanted to hold on to little Korea.
Now of course it's clear.
The core is semiconductor.
Simon wanted to set foot in the semiconductor industry for a long time, but there was no suitable opportunity before.
This is an opportunity.
In fact, after the suppression of Japan's semiconductor industry, the strength of the semiconductor industry in the United States is not weak. The problem lies in the production links. In recent years, the semiconductor industry in the United States is rapidly transforming into a wafer less system. Later, the production of short boards becomes more and more serious. With Simon's advantages, it is clear that the production of the semiconductor industry will be more and more shifted to Asia.
In Asia, for a long time in the future, Japan will only eat its old capital. Taiwan only needs to win one TSMC, while South Korea is very comprehensive. Moreover, compared with Japan, which has a huge economy and protectionism, South Korea, which is the weakest, has the possibility of taking advantage of the financial turmoil.
So of course, we need to be decisive.
In addition to semiconductors, there are also LCD screens.
Simon will also eat this, but at the same time, he will balance it properly, so as to avoid the dominance of South Korea in the future.
Then there are the construction, machinery, shipbuilding and other aspects of South Korea.
All in all, it's fat.
What's more, it means control of an entire country behind the scenes.
As for South Korea's entertainment industry, it seems to be the most prosperous, but in terms of size, it is only an addition. After all, the scale is limited, and it is convenient to play after winning.

Why is there a lack of public transport systems in big cities in the United States? Some world-class metropolises have not been able to repair their subways for decades. Or is it the same reason that public transport is so developed that fewer people buy cars? So, it's not that there is no money, it's that too many people don't want to see this result. Because it will affect their interests. In addition to the westero system, if we invest too much in traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and develop electric vehicles in the future, even if Simon is willing to sacrifice the interests of traditional automobile business to eliminate himself, there will be too many interests involved and delay to prevent Simon from doing so. Even the vistrow system's development of controllable nuclear fusion is bound to encounter various imaginable obstacles, which must come from the traditional fossil energy interest groups. In any case, at least in order to minimize the possible obstacles in his own system, Simon will not get involved in the traditional automobile industry too much. Janet wants to understand this, so she doesn't pursue it any more and looks at the briefing in front of her with the man. After last week's abandonment of the new Taiwan dollar and the South Korean won, Asian stock, bond and foreign exchange markets continued to fluctuate today. Under the tacit understanding of all, Hong Kong stocks once again bear the brunt. The Hang Seng Index fell sharply again by 7.3% in a single day, from 11392 points on Friday to 10561 points at the close. Except for a few informed groups secretly planning, few ignorant bystanders don't think that the Hang Seng index is bound to fall below 10000 points. As there is no one to take over the short contracts of the Hang Seng index above 10000 points, a large number of speculative capital can only place bets within 10000 points, and this part of the short contracts are almost accepted. In the next two days, exactly one and a half trading days before a press conference at 2:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday, there is no accident that the Hang Seng index will be tacitly pushed into the 9000 point range, to be exact, around 9500, attracting the last wave of short speculators. Then close the net. After reading the relevant data in Hong Kong, Janet looked up again: "the Hong Kong government has prepared us $15 billion to actively support the market, which is tantamount to giving up the free market rule of non-interference in financial floating. I wonder if other countries will follow suit, such as South Korea. If they do the same, some of our layout will not be so easy to implement?" Simon was a little impressed with Janet's insight. In the past, in August 1998, Hong Kong abandoned the principle of non-interference in the market and actively invested funds to support the Hang Seng Index. This was a very risky move, because it might damage the reputation of Hong Kong's free market. However, the result proved the correctness of this move. After the financial security war in Hong Kong, the international speculators finally stopped, making Hong Kong and even the whole mainland calm. Seeing the positive effect of Hong Kong's active intervention in the market, a month later, Malaysia also began to take the initiative to intervene, and even later Russia, even more ruthlessly, directly played a big trick, avoiding the complete destruction of its own financial system, and at the same time, directly liquidating a hedge leader in the industry named long term capital management company in the United States. Due to the huge size of long-term capital management company's position, it almost caused a systemic financial crisis in the United States, which forced the Federal Reserve to intervene actively. Therefore, it can be said that Hong Kong's active intervention in the market can be described as the first cold water to dampen the Asian financial crisis that lasted for two years and spread to the world. This time, if the Chinese authorities make a decision one year in advance, it is obvious that there is also the possibility of triggering imitation. Simon thought about it and said, "at least South Korea has no chance, because the situation of South Korea is totally different from that of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has sufficient foreign exchange reserves, good economic structure, and almost no foreign debt. Although this operation has some bad rules, it is also a game within the financial rules. South Korea is different. The main problem of South Korea is foreign debt. If the South Korean government wants to intervene, all it can do is to completely ignore the rules, impose foreign exchange control, specify the exchange rate, and even prohibit capital outflow. As an export-oriented country, doing this may stop the bleeding for a while, but at the same time, it means that South Korea has completely given up its own economic future. Janet listened to Simon finish, but narrowed her eyes: "I don't think so. The world is always forgetful." Simon pondered for a moment, but still had to admit that Janet's judgment was still correct. Russia once played a trick, but later, through internal changes and the sharp rise in oil prices at the beginning of the new century, it once returned to the top ten world first-line economies in terms of global GDP. Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries or regions that have adopted regulatory measures in the Asian financial crisis have been criticized for a long time by various economists for their long-term negative effects. However, if we look at the GDP ranking of these countries, we can see that in addition to the short-term trough after the crisis, the time line will be lengthened, in 1997, 2007 and 17 In the past year, there were few changes, and even a rise instead of a fall. The world is really forgetful. However, Simon quickly said, "I don't care about the rest. At least, South Korea dares to let my plan fail. I will let them never have a future." This time Janet didn't retort. She nodded her head and rubbed her face against Simon's jaw. In fact, at first, Janet was still wondering why her man wanted to hold on to little Korea. Now of course it's clear. The core is semiconductor. Simon wanted to set foot in the semiconductor industry for a long time, but there was no suitable opportunity before. This is an opportunity. In fact, after the suppression of Japan's semiconductor industry, the strength of the semiconductor industry in the United States is not weak. The problem lies in the production links. In recent years, the semiconductor industry in the United States is rapidly transforming into a wafer less system. Later, the production of short boards becomes more and more serious. With Simon's advantages, it is clear that the production of the semiconductor industry will be more and more shifted to Asia. In Asia, for a long time in the future, Japan will only eat its old capital. Taiwan only needs to win one TSMC, while South Korea is very comprehensive. Moreover, compared with Japan, which has a huge economy and protectionism, South Korea, which is the weakest, has the possibility of taking advantage of the financial turmoil. So of course, we need to be decisive. In addition to semiconductors, there are also LCD screens. Simon will also eat this, but at the same time, he will balance it properly, so as to avoid the dominance of South Korea in the future. Then there are the construction, machinery, shipbuilding and other aspects of South Korea. All in all, it's fat. What's more, it means control of an entire country behind the scenes. As for South Korea's entertainment industry, it seems to be the most prosperous, but in terms of size, it is only an addition. After all, the scale is limited, and it is convenient to play after winning. Hello, everyone. Our public account will send cash and red envelopes every day.
