When Yu Tingyu left, Simon leaned on the back of the mahogany chair, sipped tea, and continued to enjoy the scenery outside the window, while casually asking Ren Jingxi opposite him: "How are you doing there? I heard that the recent kung fu reality show is pretty good?"

"Yes," Ren Jingxi was a little happy when she heard him talking to him, but she felt that why she was like Wuling, and continued to say, "However, I only planned to do one season. Someone reminded that this kind of program that tends to fight in real life is not very suitable. Well, the current environment."

Simon laughed: "Yes, just play and play in the movie, but it's really not good in reality."

Ren Jingxi glanced at her beautiful eyes: "You, hehe, you really look like a Chinese."

Simon deliberately raised his chin slightly and made a proud statement: "I have a Chinese name."

Ren Jingxi was curious: "What?"

Mo Wuling also opened her eyes slightly.

Before Simon could speak, Chen Qing had already said something a little bit: "Pity Flower Westeros."

“…”

“…”

Simon glared at a girl with anger, smiled, and shook her head, "This is just a joke. My serious Chinese name has a very Chinese characteristic. It is called Jianguo and Westeros Jianguo, how about it?"

“…”

“…”

“…”

Now the three girls are speechless together.

Chen Qing actually heard her boss joke about it before, but whether it is Chen Qing or the other two girls, it is obvious that it will never be possible to reach this deep-sea stalk that is separated by a whole parallel space.

After a little cold moment, Ren Jingxi remembered something about him and said again: "Simon, when it comes to name, I have always planned to change one for my company. The name Huanzhu Film and Television is too narrow. This time, I just happened to ask you for your opinion."

When Ren Jingxi said this, Chen Qing suddenly became alert. However, before she could think of an excuse to stop her, Simon had already said: "Do you have any ideas?"

Ren Jingxi looked straight at a man and said, "Weijing Media, what do you think?"

Simon shook his head and smiled: "Is this too straightforward?"

Mo Wuling also looked over with a look of surprise, and it turned out to be... this was too bold. However, she couldn't help but think about it. If she, well, Wei Wu and Wei Ling, it seemed that neither Wei Jing sounded pleasant.

Chen Qing finally reacted and rushed to continue the conversation: "Yes, if you change this name, Jinshu will have an objection, which may also cause many speculations. Anyway, it is too high-profile, not good."

Because a man is there, Ren Jingxi is not afraid of Chen Qing and retorted: "I'm not afraid of these gossipers."

After saying that, he looked at someone expectantly.

Simon shrugged: "If you don't think there is something wrong with this name, of course I'm fine."

To be honest, Wei Jing, this name is indeed a bit too straightforward and high-profile, but with Simon's current status, you really don't care about these things. As long as the girl on the other side can withstand some of the consequences of this name.

"That's it," Ren Jingxi didn't give someone a chance to repent, and her beautiful face was a little excited: "I'll call later to ask the Beijing to start the name change procedures."

Seeing that things turned out like this, Chen Qing suddenly looked at Simon pitifully: "Boss, I want it too."

Simon put the almost bottom-up teacup on the table and was about to get the teapot next to him. Mo Wuling had already picked it up and leaned over to refill him with tea. He nodded to the girl to express his gratitude and turned to Chen Qing: "What do you want?"

"Weiqing," Chen Qing said: "I also want to register a company, so I'm called Weiqing."

"This sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?"

When the words "Weijing" are combined together, I feel very harmonious inexplicably, and "Weiqing" is suddenly a little inappropriate.

Chen Qing pouted and acted coquettishly, and grabbed her boss's big hand and began to shake: "I want this."

Simon could only agree again: "I don't care, it's yours anyway."

After chatting so casually, it was noon soon.

Simon had lunch with three girls, and sent Ren Jingxi, who had no intention of leaving, to go to the garden and returned to the second floor study room of the third-floor study building with Chen Qing.

A world map has been hung here in advance.

Simon went straight to the topic, picked up a pen and drew a big circle in Southeast Asia, and said to Chen Qing: "Next, the Westeros system's investment layout in Asia will be adjusted, and the investment strategy for China will remain unchanged, but at the same time, we must strengthen the development of Southeast Asia."

Chen Qing stood beside her boss, swept across the territory of Southeast Asia one by one, and said curiously: "Boss, why?"

Southeast Asia was just destroyed by international speculative capital such as Soros, led by the United States, three years ago. In Chen Qing's view, this actually has the consideration of curbing the economic development of Southeast Asian countries.

Now, why do you have to do the opposite?

Simon did not hide it, and even reached out to circle around Mexico below the United States, Ukraine in Eastern Europe and Angola in Africa for a few times, and said: "It's very simple. From the interests of the Westeros system, I don't want to put the eggs in a basket."

Chen Qing blinked her eyes, realized something, and bent her lips and said, "I always thought that the boss was optimistic about China. Now it seems that I still underestimate the boss's optimism about China?"

Simon did not deny it, and smiled and reached out to pinch Chen Qing's chin, saying, "The problem is, you still only saw half of it."

Chen Qing tried to lower her head and hook her boss's big hand with her chin, but failed. Hearing this, he tilted his head slightly to think. After a moment, some uncertain inspiration flashed and hesitated: "Boss, you, um, aren't you optimistic about the prospects of the United States?"

Simon did not answer immediately, but said another thing that seemed irrelevant: "Did you know some of the history of the Age of Discovery?"

Chen Qing shook her head in confusion: "Not much."

Simon stepped forward and knocked on the Spanish territory in Europe: "The first sea overlord, Spain, at its peak, and later the Empire of Sun-Downset was just a group of pirates in the eyes of the Spanish. Guess, how did Spain decline?"

Chen Qing shook her head this time: "I don't know."

Simon smiled and said, "The decline of a country is often quite comprehensive, and it is impossible to be simply because of one aspect. However, one of the most important things in Spain's decline is that at its peak, Spain controlled more than 80% of the world's gold and silver mining rights."

Chen Qing was a little confused and didn't quite understand the cause and effect relationship for a while.

Isn’t it a good thing to master more than 80% of the world’s gold and silver minerals?

Simon continued: "Your first reaction may think, isn't this a good thing? The problem is that because you have mastered a huge amount of gold and silver mineral resources and have almost the inexhaustible currency that was common in the world at that time, Spain has been constantly giving up other low-profit industries. Everything you need is to buy with money, so in the end, even warships and arms need to be purchased from other countries. Think about it, what is the result?"

Chen Qing reacted and quickly organized the language and continued: "As a result, because of the lack of strong national defense and people's livelihood industry support, when the war broke out, the once invincible fleet was defeated by the pirate country that he had always looked down upon?"

"That's right."

Chen Qing learned from it and learned: "What the boss meant, now the United States is already on a road similar to Spain because it is separated from the gold standard, which can be issued infinitely in the gold standard?"

Simon's eyes fell again on the world map in front of him, and nodded after hearing this: "It's the same as the same thing."

Chen Qing was not sure, "Boss, I think the United States should not repeat the mistakes of Spain. After all, it was not hundreds of years ago."

"The only lesson that history has taught mankind..."

"...It's humans never learn lessons," Chen Qing answered skillfully, but said again: "But, things are not absolute. Isn't the boss just planning ahead?"

Simon shook his head: "The key is that the general trend of a society is difficult to reverse."

society?

Chen Qing caught a certain word and felt a little weird. The two of them had been talking in Chinese. She thought that her boss should not use the wrong difference between 'country' and 'society', so she asked: "What about the country?"

Simon smiled bitterly: "The country is possible, but I have considered some possibilities these days and asked the affiliated think tank to make some models."

It's indeed useless.

Chen Qing was determined for a moment, and saw that her boss stopped halfway through the speech, and asked curiously: "What model is it?"

"About the model of reversing the future through certain means," Simon hesitated a little, "Just like Spain, the United States now has the advantage of dollar and can directly print money and buy large amounts of material, but it is conceivable that this will definitely not last forever. Therefore, if a society gradually relies on the hidden plunder of direct printing of money and redirects to self-sufficiency in production, it is necessary to make mandatory changes to many things, such as high social welfare that cannot be supported by actual national strength, and for example, the working hours that have been constantly shortened. Haha, many European countries are now constantly compressing their working hours, eight hours, six hours, or even five hours and four hours. When you Chinese see it, you must think that this is a symbol of advanced civilization, right?"

Chen Qing couldn't deny it, so she nodded.

Simon shrugged: "The question is, is a person only works very little time a day, and is the material produced enough for him to live a good life? Of course, there must be differences in individual productivity, but at the entire social level, think about it, everyone only works 6 hours a day, and there are up to five days a week, and there are various holidays during this period. So, is the material produced by this society enough to satisfy everyone's superior life?"

Chen Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Simon glanced at the girl beside him and smiled, "You probably think, isn't this the case in some Western European countries?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly again.

Simon said: "This is because Europe or the entire Western world still has enough technological and cultural advantages, so you can sell the products you make in 6 hours to other basic industrial products that can only be produced in 60 hours or even 600 hours in other backward countries, and then conduct an inequality exchange to get the materials you need. But then, do you think this technological and cultural advantages can last forever, and once they cannot be sustained?"

Chen Qing looked suddenly.

Of course the result can be imagined.

Simon shrugged again without waiting for her answer: "So, this is not an advanced civilization, or even a very despicable one. In my opinion, the key point of the difference between human civilization and animals is that we can take the initiative to engage in production, rather than animals, through hunting, more bluntly, and fill our stomachs through plunder."

Chen Qing took a little care of it and recovered the topic just now: "So, what is the reversal of the United States that the boss said?"

"I just said that it is very simple, reducing high welfare, restructuring social distribution, reforming the labor system, etc."

Chen Qing was puzzled: "Can't you do it?"

Simon's big hand who was placing on the world map returned to China and said with a smile: "According to your Chinese sayings, these things are actually another very appropriate word. Do you know what they are called?"

Chen Qing didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Reform," Simon still smiled, but his smile was a little cold: "Whether the people who started reforms in Chinese history have succeeded or failed, tell me, how many people have a good ending?"

A series of names flashed through Chen Qing's mind, from Shang Yang to Wang Anshi, from Zhang Juzheng to the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu, well, it seems... I really didn't think of a few that were perfect for a while. Shang Yang's reform was successful, and then he was broken by a car. Wang Anshi failed and died of depression, which also led to a long-term tearing of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng's reform lasted the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and after his death, his home was blocked and his descendants were starved to death. As for the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu, this is even more direct.

Next to it, Simon quickly continued: "I am not so great that I am willing to sacrifice my life for others. Moreover, the situation in Western society is different from that in China. For example, if the United States wants to change, it must first change the existing political system to a considerable extent. Otherwise, the White House and the Parliament will restrain each other, and the central and local governments will not be able to do anything at all.

Chen Qing thought of a word in her mind, thought for a while, and said, "Didn't the boss keep operating quietly? I think it's not impossible?"

"Yeah, there is this possibility," Simon said. "Then the problem goes back to the reform just now. Even if I try to achieve this possibility, it is actually going to harm the rights and interests of all vested interests from top to bottom. Even if these interests are not changed, they can't last too long, but they will only feel that they are being hurt, and then, you understand."

Chen Qing nodded slightly.

Simon said: "So, the current state is actually good for all classes. If you mess up the matter, even if it is in the most extreme situation, the government will resign collectively, and then let them choose some people to the stage."

"But, this won't solve the fundamental problem?"

"Of course," Simon said: "So, once you encounter an economic crisis like the Great Depression in the United States and the social conflicts are fierce, it is hard to say what will happen. Haha, when I think about these issues, I am a little worried, even afraid. After all, I am a capitalist."

Chen Qing blinked her eyes, changed her mind a little, and immediately understood what her boss was worried about.

Fire of stars.
