At the beginning of the meeting, Clinton and others actually began to instinctively evaluate Simon's series of words and deeds in order to determine their future relationship.

This young man who has created a series of business miracles in eight years will inevitably be a place that the entire Washington cannot avoid in the future.

It is completely inconsistent with the calmness of age.

Sleek.

There is no aggression on the surface.

Facing the indifference of Washington's power core, neither humble nor arrogant.

These traits left a deep impression on Clinton and others without realizing it. Of course, they have seen similar characters. Even the five of them here have more or less similarities to Simon in their personalities. However, this extremely restrained personality seems very rare when it comes to a 26-year-old young man who has reached the top of the pyramid of human society at a young age.

If it was just that, it wouldn't be anything.

This society has never lacked in old age.

Until Gore talked about the antitrust investigation, Simon Westeros has his insights on how Washington can deal with the new tech giants.

The style of painting changes suddenly.

Taking advantage of the advanced advantages that the Federation has accumulated, we will plunder the world through powerful technology giants, and ultimately realize the new technology industry hegemony of the United States in the information age.

This is a sudden appearance of a giant dragon hiding its sharp claws into the world.

The ambition is trembling.

Simon Westeros is just a clear statement: I want to conquer the world!

Because at this stage, almost all the cores of the emerging Internet industry are in the hands of Simon Westeros. If we really follow the ideas of the young people in front of us, the United States can indeed gain great benefits. However, what we ultimately achieve is not the hegemony of America, but Simon Westeros' hegemony.

One's hegemony.

Moreover, this is not a young man who is ignorant of the world and is making a fuss. Simon Westeros really has the strong ability to realize this ambition.

The question comes immediately.

How should Washington make a decision?

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States' status as the world's only superpower is undoubtedly.

However, several Washington core members in the White House meeting room knew that losing the Soviet Union, a powerful enemy that had been tit-for-tat, had erupted, and problems that had been suppressed within the federal government for many years, emerged immediately, including fiscal deficits, high unemployment, gap between the rich and the poor, redundant military power, etc.

The unexpected failure of George Bush in 1992 to seek re-election and the bleak end of the Democratic midterm elections in 1994 are actually closely related to the concentrated outbreak of chronic diseases accumulated in the United States over the years.

In the process of considering this issue, Simon also understood why politicians in many countries often divert domestic conflicts by provoking disputes or even launching wars. Too often, they really have to do so. If the negative emotions of the public cannot be released regularly, the authorities will be in trouble.

Ultimately, it is still the same as the slogan of Bill Clinton's election in 1992.

The problem is still economics.

The quagmire of Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s and the long-term confrontation with the Soviet Union not only made the United States lose the absolute economic advantages accumulated after the two world wars, but also brought the country a huge treasury bond of more than 4 trillion US dollars. The initiative of many core industries in the electrical era was also unconsciously occupied by potential competitors such as Japan and Germany.

In short, the foundation of the United States is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface.

The implementation of the Information Highway Plan was originally intended to recover the US economy.

However, except for Simon, no one can accurately see the future. The senior Washington leaders who determine the direction of US economic policies are not as deeply involved in the new technology industry as Simon has in recent years. There is no absolute certain judgment on what scale these fields can reach and whether they can really bring vitality to the US economy again.

There are still doubts about whether it can promote the US economy to take off again, and it was even more impossible to think of achieving the US economic hegemony in a new era through the global expansion of new technology industries.

Simon's words just now allowed the people present to see a potential solution to many problems in this country.

The industrial foundation of the information age in the United States has been completed and has even begun to take off.

Next, if the new technology industry with the Internet as its core can really reach trillions of dollars worldwide, and the United States can successfully gain world-class hegemony of the new technology industry, under the global harvest, this one alone will bring to this country every year in an incalculable economic benefits.

With money, many problems are no longer problems.

If many lifelines of the Internet industry were not in the hands of the Westeros system, after this meeting, Clinton and others would immediately convene the White House and Congress senior officials to discuss the plan proposed by Simon, because the ideas proposed by Simon Westeros are really tempting. Once realized, not only will the United States' unipolar hegemony be further deeply rooted, but it will also bring long-term and strong political capital to everyone here.

The five people in this reception room in the West Wing of the White House, except for 71-year-old Bob Doll, are all young and strong, and they all have a long political life.

After Simon finished what he said just now, seeing Clinton and others fell into silence, they could roughly guess what they were thinking, and they didn't speak anymore, and slowly started drinking coffee.

Simon has been thinking about the plan to use the new technology industry to capture the world for a long time.

Whether it can be supported by Washington or not, the Westeros system will be implemented with all its strength. The difference is only to make some adjustments to the corresponding plan.

Since I just said it in front of several Washington core members, I must have a slight slander of national interests.

However, Simon did not expect too much about this.

The more experienced and harmonious a politician is, the less likely he will put the so-called national interests first, because in this circle where the most intense game is infighting, there are too many things to consider. You must first make sure that you are in your position in order to do political work. The core of Western politics is actually just to ensure that a country will not go to the worst choice through mutual checks and balances.

Of course, since it was proposed in front of several of the most powerful bosses in Washington, this plan will not be as unstoppable as ever.

Simon proposed a huge plan that can make the US economy stand on the top of the world again. It would be fine if five people in the room do not support it. If someone hinders the progress of this plan in the future, it is likely to become the attack handle for the other party without realizing it.

This is also Simon's most basic demand.

Just like the ongoing Justice Department antitrust investigation, with Simon's support for the Clintons, the two White Houses did not want to initiate the investigation from the beginning, but were forced to the situation. Now, Simon happened to give a step, a step that made the White House explain to Congress why it was easy to let the Westeros system monopolize the new technology industry.

After a moment, Hillary still spoke first and said bluntly: "Simon, the Westeros system cannot hold everything in your hands, you must make concessions."

Simon nodded: "I have talked to several senior executives in Igret that the company will launch plans in the near future."

During the midterm elections, Simon made this decision after weighing the trade-offs.

The purpose is still to accelerate the integration of the Westeros system and the US economy.

Newt Gingrich glanced at Hillary in dissatisfaction and turned to Simon, with an obviously bad tone: "Is this a concession?"

Simon looked at Gingrich and said, "I cannot take the initiative to give up the technical initiative of several companies in Igrit according to the conditions offered by the Ministry of Justice. As I have just said, we need this initiative. If I make concessions in the federal land, overseas countries will only demand the same treatment. In this way, our advantages in the new technology field will disappear quickly. In exchange, I can share more benefits with the people in the federal land, and the method is to go public. Now Igrit, I personally have 90% of the shares, and Goldman Sachs and Morgan hold 5% respectively. Before listing, I will share about 20% of the shares to all Igrit employees. After the IPO starts, I can transfer 20% of the shares to domestic investors, and the Westeros family only retains 50%.

After Simon finished speaking, the people present had different expressions again.

However, most of the thoughts couldn't help but lean towards the 20% stake that Simon plans to share with Igrit employees.

Even according to the industry's relatively conservative valuation of Igrit's $50 billion company, a 20% stake, that is, a full $10 billion. In fact, more analysts believe that Igrit's value is no less than Cisco and American Online, which are already at the 100 billion US dollars.

What a big deal!

Daenerys Entertainment's listing on July 1 this year has set an IPO record. Now, this record may not last long.

Perhaps this is why Simon Westeros is Simon Westeros.

Bob Doer couldn't hide the envy in his tone and smiled: "I want to go to work in Igret."

Simon smiled likewise: "Of course it's okay, I can agree now. Igrit needs you, an experienced politician like you, as an adviser to provide us with development advice. But if Bob, you continue to stay in Washington for ten years, Igrit may have to wait a long time."

As Simon finished speaking, Bob Doll smiled unchanged, but a bright color flashed in his eyes. The Clintons looked at each other and saw the slight haze on each other's faces.

Bob Doll is 71 years old this year. Many politicians have chosen to retire at this age. The reason why this veteran politician continues to persist is nothing more than being able to let go. Even Doll has to go further and compete for the position in the White House in two years. If it can be successful and if it can be re-elected, it will be exactly ten years.

What does Simon Westero mean?!

The Clintons didn't believe that Simon would be so stupid that he turned to the Republican Party in front of them. However, this kind of show of goodwill in person was actually a very obvious demonstration to them.

Very provocative demonstration.

Does this kid really think that his husband and wife dare not do anything to him?

In order to ensure the continuity of the information highway program, Simon will strongly support Clinton's re-election, but he has made up his mind that the Westeros system will no longer be as thriving as this midterm election in the 1996 election.

At least it won't be like this on the surface.

Then, by then, this convergence of the Westeros system may be a neutral manifestation in the eyes of Clinton's competitors.

It is actually not that fun to remain neutral in politics.

If you don't pay attention, you may not be pleased with both sides.

No one likes fences.

However, this actually depends on people. Simon would not consider neutrality in the past few years because he did not have enough strength, and bets on both sides may fail on both sides. Now, through the past midterm elections, the Westeros system has shown a strong strength that can influence the US election. If you choose neutrality, you may not be pleased, but you will not be worn because he is already the one who participates in the election and must be careful to win over the existence you try your best.

Al Gore, who was relatively observing, looked at the expressions of the four colleagues around him, and realized that a young man had just a seemingly unintentional word and seized the initiative in the dialogue in the room. He did not want to get into trouble anymore. Gore took the initiative to provoke another sensitive topic of this meeting: "Simon, you need to give everyone an explanation about this midterm election."

Simon turned to Gore, his smile still harmless: "Ah, I actually have no interest in politics."

"But, Simon, you actually do a lot of very outstripping things," Newt Gingrich said.

Simon glanced at several people and said, "I am just trying to protect myself. I will not allow some people to incite the idea of ​​asset taxes that are only targeted by me."

Mr. President said: "Simon, don't you think you have too much?"

"Of course, I often feel that."

“…”

"But this is not an excuse for others to take away my personal wealth for nothing. I do have a lot and I am happy to give back to the society, but the premise must be that I personally voluntarily. If someone comes to grab it, no matter who it is, I will make him bleeding."

Bob Doll spoke again, in a gentle tone: "Okay, Simon, don't be so angry. However, we also need you a guarantee, a tangible guarantee. After all, you're really a bit overdone this time."

Hillary looked at Dole suddenly.

Expression dissatisfied.

Bob Doll and the others are the "bad policemen" in the setting, and the "good policemen" should be done by the couple.

This is obviously aligned.

"I said that I have no ambitions for politics. As long as others don't provoke me, I don't want to spend time doing these things. The political layout of the Westeros system is completely defensive." Simon said this, paused and said: "One ten, I can guarantee that the Westeros system supports the Senate and House of Representatives will not exceed one tenth of the total number of members."

This time, neither party in the reception room was in a hurry to talk.

After a moment, Newt Gingrich couldn't hold back and said, "Simon, one-tenth is too much."

For Congress, which is often stalemate due to one or two votes, the House and Senate have a total of more than 500 members. If the Westeros system controls one-tenth of them, it will almost be enough to determine the future of the Federation.

Simon said: "If I remember correctly, the number of members who have accepted donations from Congress in the National Rifle Association will definitely exceed that number."

Newt Gingrich retorted: "The Rifle Association does not have those big moves you have."

"Newt, haven't you read the latest news?"

"The media is always used to exaggerating."

Simon could only shrug.
Chapter completed!
