Chapter 1603: Constructive and Destructive

When Soros heard Simon's problem, his eyes squinted instantly, and soon returned to normal, and said slowly: "Simon, this is not easy."

Simon still had a leisurely posture, with his legs raised, and was not surprised by Soros' feedback on some of the details in an instant. The old man defeated the pound and swept across Southeast Asia. As a standard hunter, he stood in the current American position. It was impossible for him to have not considered the issue of the euro, the biggest rival of the dollar. Therefore, the other party's answer is worth mentioning. He did not wonder why Simon asked this question, but said directly, 'This is not easy'.

Smiling, Simon said, "George, of course I understand that this is not easy, but there are things that always have to be done. It just so happens that I am a very patient person. As long as I can accomplish something, I won't feel it's long."

Upon hearing this, Soros showed a little obvious emotion. He was born in 1930 and happened to be 70 years old this year. Even if he doesn't accept his old age, he has to admit that he doesn't have many 10 and 20 years to squander. The young man in front of him is in his early 30s. Thinking about the current continuous progress of technology, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Shaking his head slightly, Soros temporarily put aside these and returned to his own business, saying: "If you want to destroy the euro, it is difficult to succeed. This is proven by the Federal series of operations last year. Many cards we played in succession have only suppressed the rapid growth of the euro."

Simon also agreed: "Fortresses are always easier to break from within."

Subconsciously speaking, Simon's inexplicable inspiration flashed, and his thoughts flew to the east for a brief moment. However, he quickly put away and turned to the question in front of him.

"Lenin's words made a footnote to the collapse of the Soviet Union," Soros obviously also had an association, said casually, and returned to the main topic: "European integration has always been something that the leaders of European countries with a slightly forward-looking vision have expected. However, just as many attempts to unify in European history have failed, it is even more impossible for Europe to become one under the current restrictions of international rules. The reason is also very simple, because of interests. Every country and each nation have their own different interests."

Simon said: "It's a coincidence that I have always had a very insistent principle for this matter and human nature, called "one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink."

Soros understood instantly and asked with a smile: "Is it another fable from the East?"

"yes."

"Very appropriate," Soros affirmed, and then said: "As you said just now, taking advantage of internal conflicts within Europe under the premise of sufficient operation time is the key to destroying the euro."

The old man said this, obviously he had a deep consideration. Simon just nodded slightly and continued to take a look at the ears.

Soros sorted out his thoughts a little and then said: "When it comes to economic issues within Europe, the biggest contradiction is the serious imbalance in the economic development of various countries. In different economic conditions, if you want to maintain good development, you must adopt different monetary policies. For example, in the current Germany and France, the economic situation is improving all the way under the current global economic recovery, so it is necessary to have a stronger monetary policy, pursue currency appreciation, attract more capital inflows, and thus enhance the country's comprehensive strength and promote further economic development. Let's talk about Italy

With Spain and other countries, the economies of these countries are currently quite good under the general trend, but they still cannot reach the level of Germany and France. Therefore, we need to continue to maintain a weak monetary policy, pursue currency depreciation, pursue easing, reduce labor costs in their own countries, and stimulate exports. This fundamental contradiction, in the short term, is because the overall economic situation of the world is still good and can be bridged. However, over time, the contradiction will only become deeper and more sharp, and eventually break out. Simon, what do you think we should do to address this problem?"

Listening to the old man's questioning at the school, Simon did not think: "We should help more European countries join the EU and the euro zone, especially those countries that did not meet the standards."

Soros was a little surprised. Thinking about the identity of the young man opposite him, he felt relieved and nodded, "That's right."

In fact, Simon mainly thought about Goldman Sachs's helping Greece make fake accounts and join the euro zone. At this time, in conjunction with Soros' argument, he immediately met.

All are routines.

Thinking of this, Simon asked: "Is there any?"

"Of course," Soros continued: "Also, since it is necessary to promote European integration, it is inevitable that strong countries will involve a transfer payment issue for weak countries. For a whole like our federal government, the national finance charges more taxes from economically strong states and counties to subsidize economically backward states and counties, and the people will not rebound too much because we are a whole. However, for Europe, if the Germans and French people know that their country has to use their finances to directly or indirectly subsidize other weak countries in order to maintain EU integration, there is nothing in the short term and will continue for a long time, especially when encountering cyclical economic troughs, their own lives will be impacted, and their resentment will only accumulate more and more, and eventually break out."

Simon did not need to wait for Soros to ask this question this time, and said: "What we have to do is to constantly exaggerate this unfair transfer payment through political means, forcing the strong to give up this disguised subsidy. Once the strong will give up, the weak will not get the benefits and have to accommodate the overall euro monetary policy. This will also cause deeper and deeper resentment, and eventually break up, then split, and then destruction."

Soros showed an admiring expression, without Simon asking, and took the initiative to say: "In the end, it is to properly utilize geostrategies, such as the Balkan powder keg."

Simon nodded again in recognition, saying that the Federation had used it once last year, and a Kosovo war caused the euro to plummet.

However, after Soros finished speaking, Simon thought about it for a little while and said, "George, what you just said, well, I think, can be called destructive thinking, with the purpose of direct destruction. In addition, it happened to be thinking about Eastern Europe recently, and I think that some indirect strategies can be adopted with constructive thinking as a means."

Soros was curious: "Tell me?"

Simon said: "Eastern Europe, even including Russia, has a huge population of hundreds of millions. This is not only a potential market, but also a large number of cheap labor. Due to geographical advantages, these resources have been slowly digested by Western Europe. I think we should not continue to let this digestion, but should take the initiative to compete for this part of the resources. The resources on this planet are ultimately limited. After all, we will get more, and we will leave them to Western European countries. Just so happens that the development of most Western European countries has basically reached their own extremes. If you want to continue, you must explore outward. Once this outward expansion is strongly hindered, they can only continue to consume their own resources until these resources are exhausted or even collapsed."

Soros showed a thoughtful expression: "Simon, what do you mean is that we should take the initiative to build Eastern Europe with greater efforts?"

"yes."

"Ha, haven't we been doing this all the time over the years, especially if you're in Ukraine?"

Simon shook his head: "Not enough, far from enough."

What have the West, including Western Europe and North America, mainly done in Eastern Europe in the past years?

To be honest, economic support is pitifully less than North America's help to Western Europe after World War II. Most of the actions are just exporting political forms, and they should cooperate with the oligarchs of Eastern European countries and predatory purchases of large assets left by the former Soviet Union at a low price.

Soros considered it for a moment, shook his head and said, "Simon, I think you are thinking too simple. You just said that in terms of geography, Western Europe has a natural advantage over North America. So, how can you be sure that after we help Eastern Europe develop, they will definitely turn to us, rather than Western Europe, which is closer to geography, ethnicity, culture, etc."

Simon was stunned for a moment, wanted to refute, but had to admit that he really ignored this issue.

A very critical issue.

If the operation is incorrect, you may accidentally steal the chicken and lose the rice in the future, and make wedding clothes for others.

Just like Ukraine, Simon originally planned to operate as a pilot. However, in the future, Ukraine really develops, hit it off with Western Europe, joins the EU and merges into the euro zone, and it will not be as simple as doing nothing.

In this way, it is even better to keep Eastern Europe in a dilapidated and turbulent state. Perhaps Western Europe can take advantage of some cheap human resources, but as long as Eastern Europe is poor enough in all aspects, the benefits to Western Europe will definitely be limited.

After thinking about this for a moment, Simon still firmly determined his original idea.

The reason is very simple, Eastern Europe, right there.

This may allow Eastern Europe to remain turbulent and sluggish for a long time, but Western Europe can definitely be developed as long as there is a chance.

Therefore, the key to things is still control.

While investing in the competition for various resources in Eastern Europe, North America must also carry out comprehensive penetration control of Eastern Europe to prevent Eastern Europe from breaking away when its wings are hard and turning to the embrace of Western Europe that is closer geographically.

Moreover, politics is one aspect, and economy is more important.

Before investing, careful planning must be carried out to ensure that the resources of Eastern Europe can be seized, and the region cannot be truly strong. Even if some Eastern European countries show signs of turning against each other, they must have sufficient countermeasures.

The choice of supporting industries is crucial.

The first thing that Simon immediately thought of was the OEM industry.

Labor-intensive, low-end industrial chain, and at critical moments, if you want to transfer, you also have a lot of room for operation.

In addition, there are bindings.

Related industries must be bound to North America and rely as little as possible on Western Europe.

Thinking about this, and extending it a little, it is actually the same in Southeast Asia.

If one day in the future, it will be really uncomfortable to build up and build up again, Asia will be integrated.

In short, it must be planned in detail.

In the club cafe next to the golf course, Simon continued to chat with Soros while thinking. After more than half an hour, Soros got up and said goodbye.

The host and the host are all happy.

Although Soros, who originally wanted to find out Simon's intention to plan in Southeast Asia, failed to get the answer, he got another plan from the young tycoon and could be implemented together next. Simon also got a rough idea for dealing with the euro from the old man, and then, naturally, it was implemented.

There will definitely be no results in the short term, but compared to the past, Simon thinks that as long as the purpose is clear enough this time, it should be no big problem to solve this matter within twenty years. As for twenty years, there will be another major change.

Saw Soros away, Simon also left the golf course here.

It was already evening.

I rushed to the headquarters of the National Style Art Troupe in another place in East Hampton, and during this period I made a few good dances.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Qing, who had just landed in New York, hurried here, entered the private theater of the Guofeng Art Troupe's residence. The first thing she saw was the light singing and dancing on the stage.

He waved to Shirley who was coming up, and Chen Qing walked towards her boss's sofa seat below the stage. The man hugged her left and right as usual.

After a little identification, there were girls from the National Style Art Troupe on the outside, while the two snuggled beside their boss were sisters nicknamed "Xiangxiang Ruolin" by the man.

Simon also soon saw Chen Qing, and casually hugged the girl on her left to her lap, signaled a girl to sit down and continue looking at the stage.

Chen Qing walked over and sat down, feeling a little squeezed. She glanced at Yu Xuanniao next to her on the other side. The girl didn't dare to have any objection, and showed a grievance expression. She was reluctant, but she still stood up obediently and left with great tactfulness.

Then he looked to the other side.

The man was holding the Xiangxiang from his sister or sister in his arms. He was wearing a light pink navel-open vest and an equally pink ultra-short pleated skirt. His fair body was slender and petite, with a pair of bare feet, curled up in his boss's arms, becoming more and more like a cat. Seeing Chen Qing looking at him, the little girl felt fearless and glared at him slightly, which made Chen Qing laugh. He reached out and pinched her hard.

Hearing the girl in her arms screaming, Simon retracted her gaze, saw the little girl showing her pinched arms in tears, glared at the girl beside her, and protected her to change the kitten in her arms, and moved to the other side.

Chen Qing didn't make any excuses, so she would say it privately.

Because the girl changed her position and looked over again, she noticed that the little girl had written words on one side of her thigh, and curiously looked closer. It turned out to be an ancient saying: Heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the work.

Of course Chen Qing knew that her other half was not on this girl's body, so she should be on the leg of another girl: Yin and Yang are charcoal, and all things are copper.

Heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is labor; yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper.

A magnificent ancient Chinese verse.
