Chapter 916 (1/2)
The meeting with Mickey Cantor ended at 7 p.m.
Seeing each other off, Simon didn't go upstairs immediately. He turned to the reception hall on the first floor and still chose a sofa beside the glass window to sit down.
It overlooks most of New York.
It's already in full bloom.
Row upon row of urban buildings are densely inlaid with bright lights, like an inverted sea of stars.
Suddenly I feel like a fish.
Fish on shore.
Just like the novel I read in my previous life, the fish on the shore is no longer a fish.
These days, every time Simon meets with people, the most frequent question he is asked is why he wants to go to China. Or, to be more precise, why take a large number of vistro executives to visit China?
Because we all know that Simon is doing this for China's economy. A super rich man standing on the top of the world's wealth has made a clear gesture that he is optimistic about China's economy. Under the capital's pursuit of profits, the effect achieved is far more effective than the Chinese government's 100 times call for reform and opening up.
Simon westero is optimistic about China and is making a lot of investment. Why don't others follow up? Or, who thinks he will make more money than westero?
It can be imagined that Simon's trip to China can almost serve as a new starting point for China's economy.
However, in the view of most Western elites, China certainly can not rise, just as Japan is not allowed to rise. Because everyone knows that the world's resources are not unlimited. If others are strong, it may mean that they are weak. What's more, there are deeper considerations such as skin color and race.
So many people really don't understand.
Even if Simon is very optimistic about China's economic development prospects, low-key investment is absolutely unnecessary. Given the current size of the westero system, China's various concessions for Simon's visit can only be regarded as small favors. If a real Westerner is in Simon's position, he may not even look at it.
A waitress came up with a cup of coffee and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that her boss didn't respond, she had to retreat quietly.
Simon held the warm coffee in his hand, still looking out of the window, but he thought of the book again.
The protagonist with a bumpy fate is the fish that landed.
Before he set out, he refused to pledge his loyalty to human beings, because he had not experienced any happiness, happiness and love in his short life, so he did not recognize his responsibility to human beings. However, at the end of the story, he risked a lot to leave three fairy tales for the earth, which implied the way out for mankind.
Now, Simon is giving us a curvature engine.
In contrast, he could ask for more, and Simon did not. Just like the three terms of film industry reform that Mickey Cantor has just been instructed to talk about, if China can do it, it will benefit more from China's film industry, which has been in the doldrums to the extreme at this time. Simon didn't even mention the fields of Finance and technology. He just asked Mickey Cantor to show his attitude and put some pressure on the other side of the ocean.
There is pressure, there is motivation.
Otherwise, with China's weak and vulnerable technological and financial strength, even if a small gap is opened now, it may be a breakup in the future.
But it is limited to this.
After all, Simon's position is different. It's not the position of the Americans at this time, but the position of ”western”. From this position, China, the United States and even all other countries on the planet are Simon's hunting grounds.
Because Simon is the most special fish in the world.
Not only across space, but also across time.
There are many other fish of the same kind that cross the space. In this world, Simon knows only one fish that cross the time. Maybe if he finds one in the future, Simon never despises the influence of his big butterfly. However, no matter what the event that should have happened on the other side of the ocean in March this year, it doesn't happen However, cross strait relations are still at the freezing point in recent years.
All in all, Ang Lee doesn't want to get involved in politics.
