Point Dume Manor.

This is after breakfast on Sunday. On a sunny morning, Shell Villa has a glass curtain wall with a beautiful sea view. Simon and Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston are sitting on the sofa next to the curtain wall. The two big My uncle was passing around the letter written by Kim Young-san.

Anthony Johnston read the handwritten letter written in English in his hand, handed it to his younger brother, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, leaned on the sofa comfortably with his legs crossed, and said, "Simon, South Korea is so small, and it is so small. Very xenophobic, I don't understand why you would be interested in this country?"

Simon also leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a coffee cup, with a relaxed posture, and said: "Because the timing is too suitable in all aspects."

Anthony is also paying close attention to the Asian financial turmoil. Of course he knows it well. After thinking for a while, he said: "But I think, no matter what you fancy in South Korea, we can actually do it ourselves."

Simon shook his head: "Tony, there is an old saying in China, to the effect that the upper class uses others, the middle class uses intelligence, and the bottom uses physical strength. If we have to do everything by ourselves, we will only limit ourselves to the use of individuals. The mediocre category of intelligence."

Anthony smiled and said, "Simon, I understand what you mean. However, what I mean is that just because we do it ourselves doesn't mean we have to use our own brains to do it."

Simon thought for a while, and also smiled: "Then, Tony, maybe we should put ourselves on another level, a higher pattern that directly uses the upper class instead of the middle class to expand for us."

"I think Simon is right," Anthony hadn't replied this time, and Norman Johnston, who had quickly browsed Kim Young-sam's handwritten letter, answered with a smile, then looked at his wife and brother, or Cousin, asked: "Simon, what are your specific arrangements for South Korea?"

Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston brought their family to North America this time, nominally to visit their younger sister’s family, but in fact, they discussed face-to-face the core lithium, nickel, cobalt, etc. of Simon’s future battery industry layout. The mineral resources part requires the Johnston family to undertake a part of the layout.

All day yesterday, the three brothers had been discussing relevant details and initially finalized many things.

Today is a day off.

However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Jin Yongsan's personal letter, let's talk about the next step for South Korea, an important chess piece.

Simon heard Norman's question and said, "In South Korea, I'm more interested in semiconductors and LCD screens. I don't want to talk to you about this part. Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I hope that Australia can help eat South Korea together." Australia’s shipbuilding industry, as well as construction and machinery, can be properly involved in Australia. How about this, I’ll ask A to sort out a piece of information for you later.”

The two brothers nodded together. Norman Johnston has always been in charge of Asian affairs. He thought for a while and said, "Simon, I know you have always been optimistic about China. It may develop into the world's largest producer and consumer country, which in turn will drive the development of the global economy and the explosion of material transportation. In this case, there is no problem for us to bet on the shipbuilding industry. However, Simon, have you considered it? What if we made a mistake in judgment?"

When my younger brother asked this question, Anthony also looked over.

This is probably the unanimous concern of the two.

Especially in Australia, Johnston Holdings' many layouts in recent years, including the steel industry, and even the large investment in China's coal industry some time ago, as well as the Korean shipbuilding mentioned at this time, all of these are based on one foundation The premise is that the Chinese economy will rise rapidly in the next few years.

But what if it's wrong?

If these things judged at this time did not happen, the entire Westeros system might not be hurt, but Johnston Holdings would suffer a big fall.

This situation is roughly like a down jacket company judging from various information that the coming winter will be very cold, so it increased production and tried to stock up before winter came, hoping to make a fortune in the cold month, but unexpectedly ushered in A super warm winter with very little below zero.

Encountering similar changes, bankruptcy is not impossible.

Simon also knew that the two uncles' considerations were not unreasonable, so he thought about it for a while and said, "Tony, Norman, I can only say that we are now in a very favorable situation where chess players can actively manipulate and influence the direction of the world economy." It is no longer those small and medium-sized capitals that can only passively adapt to the economic cycle. Under such a favorable situation, we should have the courage to make enough layouts. If we fail again, it can only be said that our luck is very bad.”

When the two heard the words, they both nodded.

Influenced by the character of their grandfather and father, the two brothers are both ambitious and will not be satisfied with the status quo of the Johnston family. Now, this brother who is actually a family has created such a superior situation for everyone, and the two have no reason to back down.

If you don't even have this adventurous spirit, you don't have to do anything.

Thinking of this, the two brothers couldn't help having the same idea as their father for a while. It would be great if this little brother could return to the family and change his surname to Johnston. In this way, the Johnston family will become the most powerful family on the planet, bar none.

It's a pity that it's useless to think too much.

Norman Johnston quickly asked again: "Simon, you said that China's entry into the WTO will be a turning point in the country's economic rise. Since this is the case, shouldn't we actively promote the acceleration of this matter? "

Simon nodded, then shook his head: "We will make sure this happens, but we don't need to push it forward."

Norman Johnston didn't understand for a moment.

Anthony smiled and explained to his younger brother: "China joined the WTO later, so we can have more time for planning."

Norman was taken aback, and then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Simon, my father appreciates your operation of using Hong Kong to harvest international speculators this time, and thinks this is what the boys of the Johnston family should do. However, father also I'm a little dissatisfied with your last mercy, he thinks it's completely unnecessary, what do you think?"

What Norman was talking about was still the trend of the Hang Seng Index on Friday local time.

According to the capabilities of the Westeros system, Quantum Fund, and other Wall Street capital, when other international speculators are basically exhausted, if they make unreserved efforts on the same day, they will directly raise the Hang Seng Index to 12,000 points or even 13,000 points. Not impossible.

If it is really necessary to create a super extreme market with a single-day increase of more than 20%, the result of short positions will be the same as Simon remembers that a certain bank in China was scammed by 30 billion in crude oil futures overnight, and at that time International speculators only cheated a certain one, and this time on Friday, if they really had to work hard, they would be cheated by a large group.

Sadness is not enough to describe.

Moreover, in that case, except for some top financial institutions with rich family backgrounds such as Deutsche Bank, many other small and medium-sized short capitals cannot afford to pay at all, and can only be paid by the Hong Kong authorities.

Simon shook his head with a smile, and said to the two brothers: "You can't do that, and many organizations will really rebound."

If you cheat your family, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

A group of people are pitted, and they are still pitted to death without leaving any room. Others have no way to survive, and they will die if they don't rebound.

When Simon explained this, Norman suddenly understood.

Anthony nodded slightly in agreement, and then looked at his younger brother: "That's why father said that Simon is more ambitious than you, but at the same time he knows how to measure."

Norman Johnston was helpless.

I can't remind you, but he said just now that his old man was not satisfied with Simon's mercy.

However, who made the younger brother in the family the most outstanding? With the old man, whatever he said, whatever Simon did was right.

Just like the chaotic state of someone's private life, if Simon was just a poor boy who just met his sister ten years ago, if he dared to mess up like this, it would be strange if his old man didn't take a gun and kill him.

Now, because in the old man's mind, this is more of his nephew, the very, very promising kind, or to be more precise, this is Simon Johnston. Therefore, it is understandable for young people to be overly sexual with women, not to mention that the eldest son and the second son are all pure family members, and the other little guys will not be separated much in the future.

Thinking of this, Norman Johnston pointed to the handwritten letter that he had just placed on the coffee table after reading it: "Simon, how do you plan to respond to this letter? Will you provide assistance to South Korea?"

Simon shook his head: "No, what I am currently promoting is that South Korea first open up foreign ownership restrictions on enterprises. In addition, you don't have to worry here. For South Korean shipbuilding, machinery and other enterprises, take over slowly in the next few years. The timing better."

Norman generally understands that this is Simon's judgment on South Korea's economic trend, but he is still curious and hopes to get a more specific reason: "Why?"

"South Korea's current damage is only the financial system. The impact of this crisis on the real industry will only appear in the next two years." Simon explained: "In addition, for example, the two largest conglomerates in South Korea, Hyundai and Daewoo, They are all mainly heavy industries, because they are too large and belong to the key enterprises supported by South Korea. If they are not allowed to fall into enough crisis and desperation, we want to take over. It is not easy for the South Korean government to pass it.”

"Actually, I think..." Anthony said at this time: "Simon, your meddling in Hong Kong this time may have accidentally terminated the continued spread of the Asian financial crisis. In this case, the current problems in South Korea may not be chained too far." seriousness."

Simon said confidently: "We are chess players, Tony, as long as we don't want the game to end, they must continue."

Norman said: "In this way, Simon, your attitude towards the differences between different countries in Asia will be revealed. For example, South Korea, they may feel your hostility."

Simon just smiled: "Norman, my attitude towards Asian countries is different. For China, we are partners, because China is too big to eat. For South Korea, we are conquerors, conquerors You don’t need to think too much about the feelings of the conquered, because no conquered is willing to be conquered by himself.”

Norman once again felt the ambition in his younger brother's seemingly relaxed words, but he still said: "Simon, South Korea's ethnicity is extremely fierce. If we do this, we may become the boycott target of the Korean people."

"This goes back to the issue we just discussed," Simon said: "I just said that we want to use superior people to be higher-ups. For South Korea, our strategy is like this. We don't We will stand directly in front of the stage. On the bright side, the Korean economy will still be controlled by those chaebols. All we have to do is to control those chaebols. At that time, the Korean people will only know that the chaebols are controlling them and oppressing them. , and the incompetence of the government caused them to be oppressed by the chaebols. In order to conform to public opinion, the South Korean government had to confront the chaebols frequently, and was unable to care about other things. This formed a conflicting relationship between the chaebols, the government, and the people. We play games with each other, everything has nothing to do with us, we just need to watch and reap our interests at regular intervals."

When Anthony heard the words, they were both thoughtful.

After a while, Anthony said: "I think Simon, the entire Westeros system, can use this method."

The current volume of the Westeros system in the trillions is basically a separate economy after the United States and Japan. If the goal is too large, it will inevitably become the target of various countries and forces to transfer conflicts. To avoid becoming a target or even being shot into a sieve, it is necessary to take the initiative to adopt a strategy of conflict transfer to avoid being targeted.

"I have already started to do this, not only in North America, but also on a global scale," Simon nodded, and said, "One of the goals I want to achieve is to build the Westeros system into a system that overrides all countries and controls the entire world." A separate economy in the world economy, to be the ultimate chess player. We don’t take any stand, so no one, and no one is allowed to transfer the contradiction to us. Speaking of it, this is actually like the global expansion of the United Kingdom back then, and the caste of India The system, the massacre in Rwanda three years ago, was fundamentally the result of the strategy of the British Empire to deliberately localize and split to create internal conflicts in the region so as to avoid being targeted. After all, the empire on which the sun never sets only occupied A part of this world, and we, will use the entire planet as a chessboard in the future."

Norman Johnston nodded subconsciously, and said with a smile: "Simon, I think we should sit and chat like this more in the future, it will bring a lot of insights."

Simon smiled and said, "Actually, talking to Lei more often will have the same effect."

Norman shook his head and said, "It's different. My father prefers to teach us how to do it directly, and he doesn't like to explain the reason. Heh, in fact, he probably doesn't understand the reason. It's just the instinct of a businessman."
