The foundation for supporting a new era is definitely a series of emerging industries with large enough sizes, just like the power and oil industries since the electrical era began in the late 19th century, as well as the derived fields of automobiles, steel, chemicals, etc. Not to mention the rest at the moment, just the three giants "Cisco-American Online-Igrit" controlled by the Westeros system have formed huge emerging industries with a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars.

From these aspects, there is no doubt about the arrival of the information age.

Al Gore, who was sitting on the other side, obviously thought of one thing with Newt Gingridge, and asked a slightly sensitive question at the right time: "Simon, don't you think that the Westeros system has held a large number of core industries in the information age, which has hindered the development of the federal new technology industry? You must know that only with competition can there be progress and further stimulate the rapid development of the industry."

Al Gore obviously refers to the antitrust investigation by the Federal Department of Justice on the three giants, Cisco-American Online-Igrit.

These words are hinting that Simon can take the initiative to make concessions.

Before coming to Washington, Simon realized that this meeting could not avoid the Justice Department's antitrust investigation when he heard the White House used the topic of new technology industries as a guise.

Simon did not hesitate this time, shook his head decisively, looked at the other people in the reception room, and said: "With the establishment of international organizations such as the WTO, the EU, and the North American Free Trade Zone, globalization has become an inevitable trend. I don't think everyone has any objections to this, right?"

The five people around him didn't know why Simon suddenly mentioned globalization, and they all nodded slightly and waited for the following article.

Simon continued: "Unlike the physical industries that are easily separated by regions, the Internet will be a global integrated network. Therefore, any new technology company has the opportunity to rely on this global network for global expansion. Take Igret as an example. We have already carried out portals and other businesses in many overseas countries outside the United States, including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, etc. However, because these overseas countries have lagged in the new technology field, our overseas business is also restricted and have not yet formed a decisive advantage. Next, we need to continue to deepen these overseas markets and reach a completely firm foothold. To do this, our new technology companies must be as strong as our country itself."

Having said this, all the five people in the reception room had already understood.
