Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1627 :ten years

Simon then continued: "Then, let's talk about what you want to talk about most at the beginning." After saying this, both of them laughed before continuing, and then turned serious: "Vladimir, next , you have about 10 years to restore Russia's vitality, during this period, Russia will receive little external pressure, and at the same time, you can also benefit from the rapid rise in international energy prices.

The middle-aged man listened carefully, and was puzzled again: "Simon, why is it 10 years?"

Simon said: "The economic cycle of a capitalist society is about once every 10 years. If you count from 1997, 10 years is already a very optimistic forecast."

The middle-aged man pondered for a while and suddenly understood.

The economic crisis once a decade, then, the crisis happened, what will happen?

Think about the past few years.

At that time, there is a high probability that Russia will become the object of shifting conflicts. Or, according to the plan of the young tycoon in front of him, even if there is no conflict, someone will inevitably create a conflict to pass on.

Thinking like this, the middle-aged man asked, "Simon, how can you be sure that international energy prices will rise rapidly?"

For this issue, middle-aged people are more concerned than the '10-year' time forecast just now, because Russia is a standard energy exporter. If international energy prices soar, they will become the most direct beneficiaries and quickly help Russia with this income. Rejuvenate.

When Simon heard this question, he once again showed his 'frankness': "If nothing else, the next president of the United States will be George W. Bush. The Bush family has close ties with the major federal energy giants. Once they come to power, they will try their best to promote the The rise in oil prices."

This answer once again surprised middle-aged people.

Although he has just ascended the throne, because of the contact four years ago, middle-aged people have been paying attention to this young tycoon in recent years, and of course it is not the kind of attention that ordinary people can only see at the furthest level.

However, in any case, he did not expect that the US election has begun in full swing. This time, Westeros will support the Bush family.

Simon didn't admit it directly, but he was also able to make judgments from the other party's words.

Then, there was another question that puzzled him: Why did the young tycoon support the Bush family instead of Al Gore on the Democratic side?

Of course, Simon will not give an answer this time. Seeing that the other party was speechless for a while, he continued: "Russia has 10 years to recover, and at the same time, I will continue to expand the layout of Western Europe until the next crisis. The goal is to destroy the euro as much as possible and re-disintegrate Western Europe. This is the long-term plan. In the short term, Vladimir, the problem you need to deal with is the oligarchs in Russia.”

When the middle-aged man heard these words, his expression was slightly different.

I have to admit that even with sufficient preparations in advance for today's meeting, the young tycoon still brought him a lot of surprises.

For example, the one in front of him can definitely be said to be the largest capital oligarch in the world. However, he never expected that the other party would turn his target to another group of oligarchs.

Speaking of which, middle-aged people have already made plans to fight against oligarchs. However, considering that the Westeros system may have cooperative relations with some oligarchs in Russia, not only Mikhail Friedman, who is obviously related, but also several others. Therefore, he has even planned to make certain compromises.

What's the situation now?

Simon noticed the other's expression, of course he understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course I am also an oligarch, Vladimir, but I am different from those in Russia. The biggest difference is that for me country, I know very well that if this country is a ship, I am one of the passengers. So I do not deny that I will earn my due as much as possible, but not by harming the ship To gain benefits. Not only that, if I want this ship to go further, I must take the initiative to strengthen and repair it at the right time. However, those oligarchs in Russia, you must understand that they have no such consciousness, and those people have no stand , just want to control a ship called 'Russian' so that they can extract maximum profits and be ready to jump when the big ship is about to sink. By extension, I admire a Chinese philosophy, Probably, everything must have a scale, not too high, not too low, not too big, not too small. This scale can be applied to all of us, all countries and even the entire planet. If We want the world to develop more benignly for a longer period of time, and everyone should take the initiative to abide by it.”

The golden mean or something, I can't explain it in a few words, so Simon used a more straightforward analogy.

The middle-aged man clearly understood, nodded in agreement, and understood what he should do next. Mikhail Friedman still had to get around it, Yeltsin, after all, had a guarantee that he wouldn't be too ruthless. In addition, other oligarchs, he does not need to have any scruples.

Then he asked: "Simon, you just talked about China, do you have any specific suggestions?"

Simon said: "No surprise, China will soon join the wto, and then the country will enter a period of rapid economic development. The development of a big country will firstly bring huge energy demand. This is the first. Second, While many things have not completely dissipated, try to pick up the industrial foundation left by the Soviet era and cooperate with China to the greatest extent. My suggestion is that it is best to convert these technologies into enterprise shares that can bring long-term benefits. Of course, , provided that these shares are held by Russian state-owned companies, otherwise you will not be able to benefit from them. Besides, in terms of agriculture, the Chinese are the most adept at farming in the world, and Russia can open up the Far East and cooperate with China on large-scale agricultural production.”

The middle-aged man said subconsciously: "Simon, agriculture is a very sensitive field."

"I understand that no country will want others to meddle in its own bread basket," Simon shrugged. "But if you'd rather the Far East remain deserted, I don't care."

The middle-aged man suddenly thought of one thing: "Simon, I know that you have always been interested in land. In that case, why did you recommend me to cooperate with China instead of participating in it yourself?"

Simon was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "You know, Vladimir, I'm a very possessive person," he said and gestured around: "It's like every place I go, if I don't have myself property, I would feel very uncomfortable staying in other places like hotels. By the same token, let me help you develop the land, I may prefer full possession rather than lease which you can obviously only agree to, yes Bar?"
