Simon arrived in Washington at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the White House welcomed the scene with grandeur. The Clintons, Vice President Gore, the newly-Senate Majority Leader Bob Doll and the newly-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Newt Gingridge, several Washington core members, came out together.

Referring to the identities of the people who came forward, Simon roughly saw the Republican's intention to win over him.

Otherwise, because of the position of important supporters of Simon's Democratic Party, the Republican Party will definitely send representatives to participate in the meeting, but it is impossible for two congressional leaders who have just held great power to attend together.

The Clintons and Vice President Gore need no more words.

Bob Doll is Simon's memory of Clinton's rival in the 1996 US presidential election.

The 71-year-old Republican politician, who has been paving the way for his presidential campaign since Clinton came to power, did not hesitate to make Clinton strongly, and promised to reach a compromise. When the vote suddenly broke down, it directly ruined the health care reform bill that the Clintons and his wife tried every means to promote.

The Democratic Party’s failure in this midterm election is a very critical factor in the failure of medical reform.

The Clintons have previously regarded the Healthcare Reform Act as an important campaign promise to promote voters on a large scale, but ended in failure, which inevitably had a serious negative effect of the higher the praise and the harder the fall.

Of course, the reason for the Democratic Party’s crushing defeat in this midterm election is much more than that. To make it clear, you may need to write a big book.

Bob Doll is Simon's type of politician.

Standard neoconservative politicians advocate tax cuts and relaxation of corporate giants, and are smooth enough to be selfish and can be affected.

Another new House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, has a tendency to be aggressive.

This Republican lawmaker, 51 years old, who is also a veteran politician, has frequently used confrontational provocations of bipartisan disputes since he entered Congress in the 1970s. In the past two years, he has almost been restricting Clinton from fulfilling all the promises he made to voters during the campaign.

Everyone exchanged simple greetings and did not go to the famous Oval Office of the White House, but came to an ordinary reception room on the west wing of the White House.

The waiter quietly left after delivering coffee and snacks. Only Simon and six people were left in the reception room in a blink of an eye.

What surprised Simon was Hillary Clinton’s first topic.

"Simon, before you came, we were discussing the upcoming outsourcing platform of Igrit. Newt doesn't believe that this platform can provide tens of millions of job opportunities every year. I have read the information on the official website in advance, and I don't understand it very much. Can you explain it to everyone?"

Simon held a cup of coffee casually, and heard Hillary speak, looking at the other four men without a trace.

Clinton's expression was as usual, Gore seemed to have never heard of it, Bob Dole smiled, only Newt Gingrich, named by Hillary, frowned slightly.

Hillary is famous for her strength.

Most of the failed medical reform bill was drafted by Hillary Clinton, and therefore the media frequently accused his wife of interfering in politics. According to the news obtained by Simon, the failure of the medical reform bill also greatly triggered a rift between the couple.

Now.

It can be imagined that the four Washington bosses certainly do not want Hillary to get involved in such an occasion.

The first lady not only ignored the pressure of the four big shots and insisted on staying, but also took the lead in provoking the topic. By the way, she did not forget to dig a hole for Newt Gingrich without any trace.

It's indeed powerful enough.

Thinking of this, Simon took a sip of coffee and said frankly with a smile: "Actually, this description is a bit of a change of concept. It is definitely impossible to have a job of tens of millions of dollars. The outsourcing platform can provide relatively short-term part-time jobs, which may be completed in one or two hours. According to this calculation method, there will be more than enough job opportunities of tens of millions of dollars per year in the future."

Hillary continued to ignore the men around her and asked: "Can you have 1 million jobs according to standard working hours conversion?"

Simon shook his head directly: "No, Hillary and Igret outsourcing platform are essentially a part-time platform, just to make up for the lack of human resources in Silicon Valley, and to outsource relatively low-end jobs to save costs. Therefore, this platform is actually more suitable for students who need to earn living expenses and housewives who make money to subsidize their household expenses in their spare time. If someone wants to live exclusively on this platform, it's fine, but this requires certain professional skills."

Simon is not these Washington bosses, so he doesn’t need to pay attention to domestic employment all the time, and he will never be able to slap in front of these people, so he will tell the truth.

How easy is 1 million jobs?

In my memory, Walmart had only 2 million employees worldwide at its peak.

However, although it is impossible to provide 1 million jobs, it is not a big problem for the number of registered members on the Igrit outsourcing platform to exceed one million in the next few years. However, as Simon and Hillary said, these are only part-time jobs after all. The number of registered members reaches one million. In daily life, it is good to have one-tenth of active users.

This is almost equivalent to a very considerable 100,000 jobs.

Noting Hillary's obvious disappointment expression, Newt Gingrich, who had just been named, suddenly spoke up and said to Simon in a sharp tone: "It seems that this is really just a gimmick."

Simon shrugged slightly with a smile: "If Newt, you must think so, indeed."

Bob Doer noticed some of the signs of Newt Gingrich's targeting and spoke out to smooth things over: "Simon, I still don't understand this...outsourced platform, but since it is definitely a good thing to say that anyone in the federal government can find a job on the platform, it is definitely a good thing. Can you tell me in detail?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "Amazon, Bob, you should know?"

Bob Doll nodded.

Simon said: "Amazon is expanding its product categories recently. In addition to books, videotapes and movies, it will also add clothing, cosmetics and other types. All of these products require special introduction pages. At present, the technology cannot automatically generate millions of product catalogs, so it needs to be filled in manually. In addition, there are picture classifications, web page markings, etc., and similar basic outsourcing tasks. Anyone can take a job order as long as he owns an Internet-connected computer and knows English."

Bob Dole finished Simon's words and said with a smile: "It sounds good, it's really suitable for everyone."

Vice President Al Gore asked: "Simon, how much does it cost to earn an approximate hourly wage?"

Simon turned to Gore and said, "It depends on the operator's proficiency and the level of outsourcing tasks. The most basic filling, marking or classification I just mentioned, will not be too high. If part-time workers are willing to spend time learning some programming skills by themselves, their income will definitely be considerable than working as a waiter in a restaurant."

Simon did not give accurate numbers, and everyone could probably guess that the average hourly salary would definitely not meet the federal minimum wage standard.

Bill Clinton, who had just been silent, finally interrupted: "Simon, there should be many job opportunities on the outsourcing platform being taken away by overseas part-time workers, right?"

Simon didn't expect that the President would hit the nail on the head.

The Igrit team conducted an assessment in advance. The most basic outsourcing task was about $1 to $3, which is a shame for part-time jobs in the United States. However, if you are part-time jobs in economically underdeveloped areas, the exchange rate may be higher than the regular income.

For example, China.

If at this stage, some people in China can connect to the Internet and register as a member of the Igret outsourcing platform, even if they receive the most basic tasks and calculate the minimum hourly salary of 1 US dollar, they work 10 hours a day, and the exchange rate is converted, it may be equivalent to the current stage of the salary of many Chinese people in ten days and half a month.

In fact, most of the tasks of the Igret outsourcing platform are mainly for part-time workers in underdeveloped overseas regions.

But this is definitely not available in the official press release.

Regarding this question, Simon would not be as honest as he just said: "There will definitely be some, because the Internet is global. However, due to factors such as language barriers and compensation settlement, the outsourcing platform is mainly aimed at part-time workers in the federal field."

There are smart people in the reception room.

Simon's answer was obviously untrue, but several people did not pursue it.

The topic paused a little, and the other five people in the reception room were not in a hurry to provoke a certain topic. Finally, they met the young man who had created a series of business miracles in front of them. It would be absolutely beneficial to communicate more with the other party.

Al Gore quickly continued: "Simon, many people think that investment in the new technology field has been overheated. What do you think of this problem?"

Simon said: "Overheating is inevitable, just like when the federal government built a national highway network, some people must have criticized it as overinvestment. The final facts prove that it was the hugely expensive federal highway network that led to the rapid development of the US economy after the war."

The national interstate highway project launched in the 1950s was proposed by Al Gore's father, Old Gore, and the Gore family also accumulated strong political capital due to this plan.

Hearing Simon's illuminated complimentary mention of his father's achievements back then, Al Gore couldn't help but smile, and his favor for this young man suddenly became a little more.

Hillary did not give Simon the opportunity to easily bypass the topic: "Simon, do you think there is a serious bubble in the new technology market now?"

The Information Highway Plan is also an important political achievement promoted by the White House team after they came to power.

Since Franklin Roosevelt in the 1940s, no Democratic president has been able to re-election for half a century. This incident has been like a cloud over the White House since Clinton took office.

Losing this midterm election, Clinton's chances of re-election fell sharply again.

If the bubble of the new technology industry cannot stand up to the election in two years, it will be a fatal blow to the Clintons.

Simon actually doesn't want to discuss this issue.

Facing a group of old foxes, he didn't want to be too forward-looking at all.

Moreover, Simon can't see the future clearly for the new technology industry that is now unrecognizable by his big butterfly.

It's a completely new era.

Based on all factors, the development of the new technology industry in the United States at this stage can roughly be equivalent to the level in 1997. That is to say, it was three years ahead of schedule.

However, under the continuous large-scale publicity and encouragement of the Westeros system for several years, the number of local federal personal computers and Internet access users was significantly higher than the level in 1997. The development of software and hardware technology, limited to time, is not as prosperous as in 1997, and is slightly behind.

The most important Nasdaq index has soared from around 300 points in 1990 to more than 1,700 points in recent times, which is also the level in 1997 in memory.

Based on these factors, the new technology wave can last for another three years.

If nothing unexpected happens, the 1996 election was at the peak of the Internet bubble. Taking advantage of this east wind, it would be very easy for Clinton to be re-elected.

Of course, things are not absolute.

Because there are too many factors that can affect the development of an industry.

Simon glanced at Doer and the other guys who were also cheering up their minds to pay attention to this issue. They definitely hope that the new technology bubble will burst as soon as possible, which will be of great benefit to Doer's victory over the presidential throne. As for the US economy that has been hit hard in this process, a standard qualified politician probably can't take care of so many.

From this perspective, it is hard to say whether the Republican Party will interfere with it and use some policy means to burst the bubble in advance.

After thinking for a moment, Simon said in the expectation of several people around him, "The bubble must exist, and emerging industries cannot avoid this, and it will inevitably burst one day in the future. However, compared with the cyclical recession of the federal economy in the past, the bursting of the new technology bubble will only trigger a brief pullback. After squeezing out the water, the industry will continue to develop rapidly, because the transition from the electrical era to the information era is an inevitable trend."

In fact, many things are well understood by the few people who are present without lacking experience.

But no one will underestimate the judgment of the young man in front of him.

Simon did not give an accurate time limit, which was expected by Clintons and others. No one could accurately predict such things in the economic cycle, otherwise there would not be many speculators who would lose their money every time the economic turning point was betting on the wrong direction.

After Simon finished speaking, the Clintons looked at each other.

Mixed joys and sorrows.

The couple also realized one thing: when the new technology bubble will burst, it is definitely not just the industry itself, it will definitely be closely related to the White House's governance measures in the next two years, and even closely related to the political game between senior Washington leaders.

Newt Gingrich asked another question at this time: "Simon, how do you confirm that the transition from the electrical age to the information age is an inevitable trend?"

Simon looked at the Republican boss with a young smile on his face, "Because many core industries in the information age have taken shape, such as personal computers, broadband networks, online websites, mobile communications, etc., these are now a trillion-level industrial scale, and will further reach the trillion-dollar level in the future. This can be said to be the economic foundation of a new era. When all these developments spread and change people's lives in all aspects, human beings will enter a new era, right?"

Newt Gingrich was originally questioning the degree of bubble in the new technology industry.

If it was all a bunch of bubbles, there would be no future. The information highway plan promoted by Bill Clinton since he came to power has become a joke.

Now, after a little thought, Gingrich realized that Westeros had no bluff at all.
