Westeros' overseas investment is extensive and complex. China, South Korea, Ukraine and Australia are just the main directions that the public can easily see, but they are actually all over the world.
Some of the most successful, such as Nokia, which is headquartered in Finland, and melisandra, which is run by Sofia, will even be subconsciously regarded as American companies by most people because of the absolute control of Westeros system.
As for the hottest Chinese investment in the past few years, due to the rise of Big Macs that have not yet been able to hold hands, it gives people a feeling that it is lively on the surface but not easy to tell specific cases.
This is actually the reason for the comparison.
Compared with the giant with a market value of more than 100 billion or even more than 500 billion at the core of Westeros system, all Chinese investments are insignificant. After all, China's estimated total GDP in 1998 has only just exceeded US $1 trillion. With such an economic volume, it is naturally impossible to have an attractive super giant.
In addition, South Korea, Ukraine, Australia and so on are basically the same.
People are more angry than people.
Therefore, this time Forbes' exposition of relevant contents mainly gives a general direction.
For example, in China, well, people in the circle who pay a little attention to it know that the investment of Westeros system is omni-directional. However, if we talk about the main directions, such as technology, real estate and steel, we can still talk about it.
But just for a moment.
Of course, it's because Forbes is bound.
Simon can't allow the media to describe the layout of Westeros system in too much detail, not only Forbes, but also other follow-up media after the release of the list.
If anyone crosses the line at random, wait to eat.
Simon can bring down the Hearst family. In this world, no media giant does not consider the consequences of angering the Westeros system when reporting news.
Freedom?
Of course you are free. The lace of the president of the United States can be dug and scolded at will. Is it not free enough?
Therefore, in areas where freedom is not possible, we must be at ease.
Although ordinary people will only feel that the overseas investment of Westeros system is just a bustle after reading Forbes and other media reports, just as Simon described to Soros at the beginning, sowing seeds everywhere, even if they don't have Soros's penetrating vision, slightly smarter people, combined with Simon's history of prosperity, can have a hunch that this is certainly not random.
Maybe one day, just like Westeros system to new technology, it suddenly broke out. Looking back, Simon westero has cut away the largest piece of cake in advance.
Therefore, in recent years, smart capital has followed the Westeros system.
A brief introduction to the overseas investment of Westeros system. The last part of this Forbes topic is, no surprise, Simon's increasing emphasis on the 3G plan.
This is the standard indoctrination of public opinion.
Just like the original time line, students began to transform into philanthropists after they became the world's richest man in the late 1990s. This is not an easy "job". Therefore, it took more than 20 years of transformation and repeated it before it was widely accepted by the public. Simon wants to make the 3G plan deeply rooted in the public heart, it will also take at least 20 or 30 years.
Fortunately, Simon doesn't lack time.
After reading the special article of Forbes and chatting with the Jiangshan dance around us, the team crossed the still "busy" streets and arrived at qingwatai.
Inside the presidential palace.
As soon as Simon got off the bus, Kim Dae Jung, who greeted him in advance, stepped forward with a middle-aged man of about 40 years old who was somewhat similar to him. Simon read the information in advance. This is Kim Dae Jung's eldest son, Kim Hong Yi, who is also a politician. He was elected to the South Korean Parliament two years ago.
The two sides greeted warmly and came to a Korean style teahouse in qingwatai.
At first, I didn't talk about anything serious. I just exchanged greetings and appreciated the Korean tea art prepared by Kim Dae Jung in advance. Although Simon is not interested in Korean traditional clothes and is too ugly, the two girls who show tea art are beautiful and can make up for it.
When drinking tea, he also praised a few words by the way.
The main reason is that Kim Dae Jung's various actions since he came to power for more than half a year have really satisfied Simon. Korean people have strong self-esteem, which is good for face. Of course, Simon is not stingy with such things.
After such a pastime, about half an hour later, Kim Dae Jung asked everyone else to withdraw, including his eldest son, Jin Hongyi, who had just been accompanying him. There was only one Jiangshan dance acting as an interpreter in the tearoom. This is also determined in advance. For some dialogues, the less outsiders know, the better.
Choose Simon's translator instead of the arrangement of the green tile terrace. Of course, it is also to accommodate Simon.
After all, we are the most credible people.
When they all left, Kim Dae Jung also changed the topic. First, he talked about the Forbes 400 rich list to be released on the other side of the ocean: "I've seen some media reports. Simon, your personal wealth is expected to reach $2 trillion again this year. This is really a shocking figure. Congratulations."
Simon knows that Kim Dae Jung is obviously watching the reports of other financial media. Just like various Oscar forward-looking awards, other media will join in before the release of Forbes list.
"Thank you, Kim. In fact, there are not so many. I happened to have seen the sample of Forbes. The figure given this year is $1.8 trillion."
Kim Dae Jung didn't think there was any difference between 1.8 trillion and 2 trillion. He still smiled: "it must be conservative, Simon. I believe there must be two trillion dollars."
Simon just smiled and didn't say much.
Oriental people pay attention to being implicit. When talking about wealth, they are often modest and introverted.
At present, Kim Dae Jung deliberately holds Simon's personal wealth to more than $2 trillion. He probably studied the habits of Westerners in advance and believes that wealth is not a thing to avoid, but a kind of pride. If he praises more, the guests will be happy.
So polite, Kim Tae Chung took a sip of the tea in front of him, looked up again, and his face was a little more worried: "Simon, I think you must have seen those protesting crowds outside the green tile platform when you came over."
"Yes, but it's not a problem," Simon said with a restrained smile: "Kim, we can see that you have done well enough in the past year. As for those outside the green house, frankly speaking, there will be no lack of these things at any time for democratic countries. You should pay attention to North America. As the head of the most powerful country in the world, bill has experienced more embarrassment than everyone else in the past year."
"It's a pity about bill," Kim Dae Jung said instead of burying Clinton with Simon "Simon, I actually want to say that projects such as SK's refining and chemical plant in cooperation with China and Samsung's planned joint venture automobile company in China... Of course, I don't object. However, I don't think it's important for local factories to continue. Even if the salary is reduced, I think the employees can accept it, can't they?"
"Kim, I guess you must have discussed it with Mr. Cui and them."
"Yes, it was rejected," Kim Dae Jung said without concealment. "Simon, if you are willing to speak, they will certainly not object."
"Unemployment is a serious social problem in any country. If I can help, I will not be stingy," Simon looked at Kim Dae Jung; "The problem is, maybe you have a list of factories that I can help keep. If I open my mouth, I can really reverse it. However, Jin, according to the theory of Oriental Medicine, this is called treating the surface and does not solve the fundamental problem."
Kim Dae Jung's English is actually good. After all, he was once in exile in the United States. He just didn't say it, but used his own mother tongue.
Hearing Simon's answer, Kim Dae Jung couldn't help but change his English directly and said directly: "Simon, this is also the reason why I have been firmly supporting consortia to reduce business since I took office. We can't violate the economic law. However, in fact, I just need some time. These factories that don't need to be closed urgently will be delayed for another half a year or a year. When the Korean economy improves and has more opportunities, it's no problem for them to take the next step."
With that, Kim Dae Jung, sitting across the tea table, also slightly bowed his head to Simon: "Simon, this is my plea."
Simon looked at Kim Dae Jung's sudden softness in front of him. He probably realized that a girl's frequent actions in South Korea over the past year may have overstressed the limits of the country.
Since we want to build South Korea into an economic colony of Westeros system, it must be necessary to squeeze profits. Simon is the largest capitalist in the world. However, with a soul from the East in his body, Simon knows better that he can't fish with all his strength.
After a little hesitation, Simon nodded, "all right, Kim, I promise you."
"Thank you, Simon," Kim Dae Jung said again when seeing Simon's promise. "The Republic of Korea will not forget your help to us several times in a row."
Simon smiled and admired Kim Dae Jung's ability to say these words.
After all, ordinary people may be manipulated by public opinion at will. At the level of Kim Dae Jung, they will certainly not be so naive.
After talking about this topic, Simon also took the initiative to talk about another thing: "Jin, at the reception last night, Mr. Cui of SK complained to me again that although qingwatai has been trying to promote the streamlining and adjustment of enterprises, there are still too many government restrictions on enterprises' flexible M & A or diversion. Just like SK taking over from modern electronic business departments, because it involves many fields, it needs the approval of 11 departments before and after. Even if this is a special service of qingwatai It has also been delayed for more than a month. If this problem is not solved, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the South Korean economy to complete reform and recovery. "
Kim Dae Jung listened carefully to Simon and nodded sincerely: Simon, actually, I have been working hard to deal with this problem. In recent years, I have streamlined many departments and urgently released more than 60 powers that the cabinet departments need to approve. The problem is that even Chong Wa Dae is not my has the final say, let alone the resistance of Congress, and it is not easy to do many things. But Simon, I I promise that I will accelerate the "small government" strategy proposed in the election process, which will be implemented throughout my ruling cycle. "
"I'm looking forward to the prospect you describe, Kim. In such an era of globalization, any country can have a future only by maintaining a free and open business environment. Being conservative and closed will only bring stagnation."
Because Kim Dae Jung took the initiative to change his English, the Jiangshan dance sitting behind Simon gradually became a vase. However, it's interesting to listen to various dialogues between two men who seem to be talking more and more speculative.
At the same time, it is inevitable to be confused.
After all, it's still the limitation of knowledge and experience. Even if Jiangshan dance is smart enough, it's also very easy to learn around Chen Qing. It looks at a lot of things. After all, it's not as good as its own boss and the president of South Korea who has been floating and sinking for many years.
The two-hour meeting seemed to end in the twinkling of an eye. Simon and Kim Dae Jung both had a more meaningful attitude. They said goodbye and left qingwatai. Simon sat in the carriage and continued to read the Forbes magazine. Seeing that Jiangshan dance often looked at himself, he smiled and said, "what questions can I ask, I don't necessarily give you the answer."
"The boss really wants to promise to postpone the closure of those factories?"
"After reading the list given by Kim Dae Jung, however, we must give each other some face. It's nothing more than more expenditure. Anyway, we don't have to pay the money in person. It's better to directly transfer it to the IMF."
Jiangshan dance originally got the answer. After listening to his boss, he wondered, "why is it 'better'?"
"Because this can make South Korea bear more debt," Simon said. "You follow Xiaoqing. Don't you find that South Korea has introduced enough funds this year, coupled with currency devaluation, and the foreign exchange income obtained through export is also very rich. After this year, it may no longer need follow-up funds from the IMF, which is unfavorable to us."
"I know," Jiangshan dance nodded and bent her mouth. "Sister Chen said that this is the credit of the boss. International capital is like a follower behind us. Well, in this case, should the boss take some measures, such as directly allocating debt funds to South Korea in advance?"
Simon shook his head: "the first stage goal of controlling the Korean economy has been basically achieved. The next step is to continuously deepen the control of the major chaebols. South Korea borrows less. Perhaps paying off the loan in advance will certainly shorten the time of the IMF system. This will indeed affect our direct intervention in the Korean economy, but at present, it has nothing to do."
Jiangshan dance once again expressed his understanding and then said, "in addition, boss, I have been studying economics in school for the past two years. I think... I think the boss says that a free and open market has a future. It seems to be a problem?"
Simon glanced at the girl around him and said with a smile, "it's a fool. If you can figure it out by yourself, it means you're smart."
Jiangshan dance suddenly stared at her eyes. In fact, she just hesitated. Unexpectedly, her boss's tone was quite negative!
Seeing the silent appearance of Jiangshan dance for a while, Simon reached out and pinched the girl's exquisite chin: "As for you, just remember that what we call economic freedom is basically just to facilitate the aggression and control of our strong economies over the weak economies. This is the freedom we need. On the contrary, the weak economies have no freedom to say here. They will only encounter the various rules we have formulated."
Jiangshan dance was disturbed by its boss's claws. Suddenly, it couldn't help saying: "boss, if one day, the status of strong economies and weak economies will be exchanged?"
Simon withdrew his hand and said, "either, strong economies destroy each other at all costs before this swap occurs, just as the United States has done to Japan since the 1980s. Or, to hell with freedom, first protect themselves."
Simon's big hand left. Jiangshan dance was inexplicably lost. He looked slightly sideways at his boss: "well, boss, I feel, why don't many countries do this when they encounter problems?"
"Either Japan and South Korea can't help it," Simon still quickly gave the answer: "or you."
Jiangshan dance shrunk his neck a little: "what?"
"It's stupid to be brainwashed repeatedly by the free market theory of strong economies."
Jiangshan dance felt very reasonable in her heart. She couldn't help retorting: "boss, I found a problem. I haven't been washed stupid."
This is obviously not confident.
If it weren't for his boss's casual comments, Jiangshan dance felt that he would not dare to question the free market theory at will. It would be a great treason against the world's mainstream economic thought.

Simon wants to make the 3G plan deeply rooted in the public heart, it will also take at least 20 or 30 years.Fortunately, Simon doesn't lack time.After reading the special article of Forbes and chatting with the Jiangshan dance around us, the team crossed the still "busy" streets and arrived at qingwatai.Inside the presidential palace.As soon as Simon got off the bus, Kim Dae Jung, who greeted him in advance, stepped forward with a middle-aged man of about 40 years old who was somewhat similar to him. Simon read the information in advance. This is Kim Dae Jung's eldest son, Kim Hong Yi, who is also a politician. He was elected to the South Korean Parliament two years ago.The two sides greeted warmly and came to a Korean style teahouse in qingwatai.At first, I didn't talk about anything serious. I just exchanged greetings and appreciated the Korean tea art prepared by Kim Dae Jung in advance. Although Simon is not interested in Korean traditional clothes and is too ugly, the two girls who show tea art are beautiful and can make up for it.When drinking tea, he also praised a few words by the way.The main reason is that Kim Dae Jung's various actions since he came to power for more than half a year have really satisfied Simon. Korean people have strong self-esteem, which is good for face. Of course, Simon is not stingy with such things.After such a pastime, about half an hour later, Kim Dae Jung asked everyone else to withdraw, including his eldest son, Jin Hongyi, who had just been accompanying him. There was only one Jiangshan dance acting as an interpreter in the tearoom. This is also determined in advance. For some dialogues, the less outsiders know, the better.Choose Simon's translator instead of the arrangement of the green tile terrace. Of course, it is also to accommodate Simon.After all, we are the most credible people.When they all left, Kim Dae Jung also changed the topic. First, he talked about the Forbes 400 rich list to be released on the other side of the ocean: "I've seen some media reports. Simon, your personal wealth is expected to reach $2 trillion again this year. This is really a shocking figure. Congratulations."Simon knows that Kim Dae Jung is obviously watching the reports of other financial media. Just like various Oscar forward-looking awards, other media will join in before the release of Forbes list."Thank you, Kim. In fact, there are not so many. I happened to have seen the sample of Forbes. The figure given this year is $1.8 trillion."Kim Dae Jung didn't think there was any difference between 1.8 trillion and 2 trillion. He still smiled: "it must be conservative, Simon. I believe there must be two trillion dollars."Simon just smiled and didn't say much.Oriental people pay attention to being implicit. When talking about wealth, they are often modest and introverted.At present, Kim Dae Jung deliberately holds Simon's personal wealth to more than $2 trillion. He probably studied the habits of Westerners in advance and believes that wealth is not a thing to avoid, but a kind of pride. If he praises more, the guests will be happy.So polite, Kim Tae Chung took a sip of the tea in front of him, looked up again, and his face was a little more worried: "Simon, I think you must have seen those protesting crowds outside the green tile platform when you came over.""Yes, but it's not a problem," Simon said with a restrained smile: "Kim, we can see that you have done well enough in the past year. As for those outside the green house, frankly speaking, there will be no lack of these things at any time for democratic countries. You should pay attention to North America. As the head of the most powerful country in the world, bill has experienced more embarrassment than everyone else in the past year.""It's a pity about bill," Kim Dae Jung said instead of burying Clinton with Simon "Simon, I actually want to say that projects such as SK's refining and chemical plant in cooperation with China and Samsung's planned joint venture automobile company in China... Of course, I don't object. However, I don't think it's important for local factories to continue. Even if the salary is reduced, I think the employees can accept it, can't they?""Kim, I guess you must have discussed it with Mr. Cui and them.""Yes, it was rejected," Kim Dae Jung said without concealment. "Simon, if you are willing to speak, they will certainly not object.""Unemployment is a serious social problem in any country. If I can help, I will not be stingy," Simon looked at Kim Dae Jung; "The problem is, maybe you have a list of factories that I can help keep. If I open my mouth, I can really reverse it. However, Jin, according to the theory of Oriental Medicine, this is called treating the surface and does not solve the fundamental problem."Kim Dae Jung's English is actually good. After all, he was once in exile in the United States. He just didn't say it, but used his own mother tongue.Hearing Simon's answer, Kim Dae Jung couldn't help but change his English directly and said directly: "Simon, this is also the reason why I have been firmly supporting consortia to reduce business since I took office. We can't violate the economic law. However, in fact, I just need some time. These factories that don't need to be closed urgently will be delayed for another half a year or a year. When the Korean economy improves and has more opportunities, it's no problem for them to take the next step."With that, Kim Dae Jung, sitting across the tea table, also slightly bowed his head to Simon: "Simon, this is my plea."Simon looked at Kim Dae Jung's sudden softness in front of him. He probably realized that a girl's frequent actions in South Korea over the past year may have overstressed the limits of the country.Since we want to build South Korea into an economic colony of Westeros system, it must be necessary to squeeze profits. Simon is the largest capitalist in the world. However, with a soul from the East in his body, Simon knows better that he can't fish with all his strength.After a little hesitation, Simon nodded, "all right, Kim, I promise you.""Thank you, Simon," Kim Dae Jung said again when seeing Simon's promise. "The Republic of Korea will not forget your help to us several times in a row."Simon smiled and admired Kim Dae Jung's ability to say these words.After all, ordinary people may be manipulated by public opinion at will. At the level of Kim Dae Jung, they will certainly not be so naive.After talking about this topic, Simon also took the initiative to talk about another thing: "Jin, at the reception last night, Mr. Cui of SK complained to me again that although qingwatai has been trying to promote the streamlining and adjustment of enterprises, there are still too many government restrictions on enterprises' flexible M & A or diversion. Just like SK taking over from modern electronic business departments, because it involves many fields, it needs the approval of 11 departments before and after. Even if this is a special service of qingwatai It has also been delayed for more than a month. If this problem is not solved, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the South Korean economy to complete reform and recovery. "Kim Dae Jung listened carefully to Simon and nodded sincerely: Simon, actually, I have been working hard to deal with this problem. In recent years, I have streamlined many departments and urgently released more than 60 powers that the cabinet departments need to approve. The problem is that even Chong Wa Dae is not my has the final say, let alone the resistance of Congress, and it is not easy to do many things. But Simon, I I promise that I will accelerate the "small government" strategy proposed in the election process, which will be implemented throughout my ruling cycle. ""I'm looking forward to the prospect you describe, Kim. In such an era of globalization, any country can have a future only by maintaining a free and open business environment. Being conservative and closed will only bring stagnation."Because Kim Dae Jung took the initiative to change his English, the Jiangshan dance sitting behind Simon gradually became a vase. However, it's interesting to listen to various dialogues between two men who seem to be talking more and more speculative.At the same time, it is inevitable to be confused.After all, it's still the limitation of knowledge and experience. Even if Jiangshan dance is smart enough, it's also very easy to learn around Chen Qing. It looks at a lot of things. After all, it's not as good as its own boss and the president of South Korea who has been floating and sinking for many years.The two-hour meeting seemed to end in the twinkling of an eye. Simon and Kim Dae Jung both had a more meaningful attitude. They said goodbye and left qingwatai. Simon sat in the carriage and continued to read the Forbes magazine. Seeing that Jiangshan dance often looked at himself, he smiled and said, "what questions can I ask, I don't necessarily give you the answer.""The boss really wants to promise to postpone the closure of those factories?""After reading the list given by Kim Dae Jung, however, we must give each other some face. It's nothing more than more expenditure. Anyway, we don't have to pay the money in person. It's better to directly transfer it to the IMF."Jiangshan dance originally got the answer. After listening to his boss, he wondered, "why is it 'better'?""Because this can make South Korea bear more debt," Simon said. "You follow Xiaoqing. Don't you find that South Korea has introduced enough funds this year, coupled with currency devaluation, and the foreign exchange income obtained through export is also very rich. After this year, it may no longer need follow-up funds from the IMF, which is unfavorable to us.""I know," Jiangshan dance nodded and bent her mouth. "Sister Chen said that this is the credit of the boss. International capital is like a follower behind us. Well, in this case, should the boss take some measures, such as directly allocating debt funds to South Korea in advance?"Simon shook his head: "the first stage goal of controlling the Korean economy has been basically achieved. The next step is to continuously deepen the control of the major chaebols. South Korea borrows less. Perhaps paying off the loan in advance will certainly shorten the time of the IMF system. This will indeed affect our direct intervention in the Korean economy, but at present, it has nothing to do."Jiangshan dance once again expressed his understanding and then said, "in addition, boss, I have been studying economics in school for the past two years. I think... I think the boss says that a free and open market has a future. It seems to be a problem?"Simon glanced at the girl around him and said with a smile, "it's a fool. If you can figure it out by yourself, it means you're smart."Jiangshan dance suddenly stared at her eyes. In fact, she just hesitated. Unexpectedly, her boss's tone was quite negative!Seeing the silent appearance of Jiangshan dance for a while, Simon reached out and pinched the girl's exquisite chin: "As for you, just remember that what we call economic freedom is basically just to facilitate the aggression and control of our strong economies over the weak economies. This is the freedom we need. On the contrary, the weak economies have no freedom to say here. They will only encounter the various rules we have formulated."Jiangshan dance was disturbed by its boss's claws. Suddenly, it couldn't help saying: "boss, if one day, the status of strong economies and weak economies will be exchanged?"Simon withdrew his hand and said, "either, strong economies destroy each other at all costs before this swap occurs, just as the United States has done to Japan since the 1980s. Or, to hell with freedom, first protect themselves."Simon's big hand left. Jiangshan dance was inexplicably lost. He looked slightly sideways at his boss: "well, boss, I feel, why don't many countries do this when they encounter problems?""Either Japan and South Korea can't help it," Simon still quickly gave the answer: "or you."Jiangshan dance shrunk his neck a little: "what?""It's stupid to be brainwashed repeatedly by the free market theory of strong economies."Jiangshan dance felt very reasonable in her heart. She couldn't help retorting: "boss, I found a problem. I haven't been washed stupid."This is obviously not confident.If it weren't for his boss's casual comments, Jiangshan dance felt that he would not dare to question the free market theory at will. It would be a great treason against the world's mainstream economic thought.
