Chapter 1602

This time, Soros took the initiative to ask Simon. Southeast Asia is the most proud place of a financial giant in his life. The old man couldn't sit still when he heard that. He was very curious about Simon's plan.

It's a pleasure to play with beautiful women. Simon didn't mean to continue playing with Soros. He simply came to the cafe at the club on the edge of the stadium. They sat down and waited for the waiter to bring coffee. Soros asked directly.

Simon also explained the latest set of speeches to the other party again.

Obviously, Soros, like David Rubin, are smart people. Smart people are easy to find problems. For example, Simon's large investment in Southeast Asia, where the business environment is not as good as China, is hardly the first to make money. In that case, there must be other considerations.

Since the other party also saw through and faced the old man's questioning, Simon did not hide it and said, "of course, there are the considerations you said, but, George, frankly, I do this mainly for the longer-term interests of the Westeros system."

"Long term..." Soros obviously still doesn't believe it: "Simon, do you mean that as long as you pull the timeline longer, the region of Southeast Asia can develop in the future?"

"Who knows what will happen in the future," Simon shrugged. "All I know is that Japan and South Korea have developed under the eyes of the Federation."

Soros instinctively grasped the key accurately: "then, China?"

The old man was so sharp that Simon stopped beating around the Bush and nodded: "then, China!"

"In this case, we really should make some preparations," Soros said. "However, it is obviously not enough to invest a lot in Southeast Asia to develop the economy and share China's potential."

"I'm just going to do that for the time being," Simon shrugged. "If you have other ideas, you can implement them."

Soros looked at Simon again for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Simon, you I used to know are not a kind guy."

Simon also smiled and looked at each other: "George, why do you think I am now?"

After a brief silence, Soros realized that the young man in front of him probably wouldn't reveal more about it, and didn't waste any more saliva. He took a sip of coffee in front of him, Then he said, "Simon, on the European side, I mean, Russia, the new president will officially take office next month. According to the information I have received since last year, I always feel that there is your shadow behind this matter?"

The Russian general election in March was only the first round of voting, and someone decided the presidency with an absolute majority of more than 50%. There was no need for a second round. The final inauguration ceremony was scheduled for May 7.

Simon didn't expect Soros to mention it. Since he was noticed again and didn't deny it, he nodded again and said, "I also have a lot of business in Russia."

"A lot of them took over from me," Soros joked with mock annoyance, Then he said: "I'm actually wondering if the new president has a good relationship with you in private, because I found that your spokesman in Russia, Mikhail Friedman, right? He has been very active in the core circle of Moscow during this time and has a good relationship with the new president. He has appeared on the camera more than once."

Of course, Simon should firmly deny this kind of thing: "George, I don't deny that I have had some dealings with Yeltsin, but the new president, frankly, has also made some investments, but certainly not what you think."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Soros was obviously disappointed and regretful. I don't know whether Simon refused to confess to him or regretted that Simon didn't have a deep relationship with the new president.

Simon looked at the old man's face with a smile and remembered one thing. He smiled and asked, "I'm curious. George, you've obviously been very interested in Russia. So, what's your ultimate goal?"

Soros hesitated a little and finally looked at Simon and said, "I hope to further dismember this country, at least to ensure that there will be no repetition in the regime of this country. You know, Simon, the Soviet Union is too harmful to the world."

Simon recalled the old man's background and probably understood that the shadow was too deep. Smiled and said, "the question is, do you think that Russia's GDP of just $190 billion last year, less than one fortieth of that of the Federation, can still pose a threat to the world?"

Soros soon calmed down and said, "Simon, this is just a number. You should understand that the industrial foundation left by the former Soviet Union for Russia is still there, especially the military industry. It also has more than 10000 nuclear warheads. Isn't this a threat to the whole world?"

Simon asked, "so, George, what do you think of the Federation with tens of thousands of nuclear warheads?"

Soros was suddenly silent.

Soros is not the ideal youth in the third world who only think everything is brilliant and flawless when looking at the United States. As a very smart person, he is still at the top of the social pyramid that can learn more information. Of course, he knows what the United States is like.

For example, public opinion in western society always exaggerates how many times the evil Soviet Union has threatened its opponents with nuclear weapons. However, on the US side, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, how many times it has publicly threatened to use nuclear weapons. Even, in recent years, many plans have been exposed one after another, including detailed plans for how many nuclear warheads to be put into each major city of its competitors, More than one.

However, as the winner of bipolar hegemony and the world's most powerful economy, the dark side of the United States is naturally ignored by most people. After all, the winner has everything.

A moment later, Soros finally said, "the Federation is always different. Our power division is enough to ensure that there will be no madmen like Hitler who want to destroy the world."

Simon could only shrug when he heard the old man say so. For the first time in his mind, he thought of a madman who accidentally ascended the U.S. presidency in the original time and space. This time, he would certainly not allow such absurd things to happen again. However, it is also clear that it was once a necessity of the development of American history. There will be no golden hair, but also populist Presidents such as white hair and green hair.

Instead of continuing this disappointing topic, Simon took the coffee in front of him and held it in his hand. He rubbed the warm ceramic cup, leaned back on the back of his chair, cocked his legs and said, "George, let's say something you're interested in, the euro. As an expert in this field, what do you think we should do if we want to destroy the euro?"
