After breakfast, the family went to Johnston's mansion first, said goodbye to the old man and the others, and then rushed to the pier, and still took three yachts to Tasmania.

Near noon, the three boats docked at a pier where the grasslands and forests in the northwest corner of Tasmania meet. Over the years, Simon has successively built many manor houses in his Tasmanian territory. For the first time, I lived in a manor on the edge of the cliff where the forest and grassland meet and the sea is at the same time.

Not far away, this area in the northwest corner of Tasmania has a similar climate to Melbourne.

A team of waiters had come to set up in advance. After the family arrived, they had a short rest and it was lunch time.

Then there is no special arrangement.

The afternoon sun was just right, and the family sat on the open terrace on the second floor of the neoclassical castle in the manor. The blue sea was on the west, the snow-capped mountains hidden in the clouds and mist were on the east, the vast virgin forest was on the south, and the winter was on the north. Because it is still a green pasture by the sea.

"Where is the Garden of Eden?"

Squeezed together on a soft chair with Simon, looking at a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in Spanish in the man's hand, listening to the sound of the female assistant taking care of the children, Janet said suddenly.

Simon nodded, but there was something else in the corner of his mouth: "Yes, Garden of Eden."

Janet leaned over and posted to Simon: "Project Eden."

"Ah."

Like the Sowell plan and the Troy plan, Simon quietly planned another Eden plan.

Tasmania is the Garden of Eden chosen by Simon.

In fact, many things have already started a long time ago. The root cause is Simon's pessimism about the ultimate prospect of human society. Since he believes that some things cannot be avoided, the best way is to choose a relatively safe place to hide in advance. For myself, and for future children.

Simon didn't have a clear concept and plan for this matter. He just spent money to build underground shelters in the Tasmanian mountains and forests like a joke.

After these years of brewing, the thinking has become more and more clear.

Next, Simon will promote this matter from the policy of Australia, and will try to bring in as many people at the top of the pyramid in the world as possible, as long as everyone regards Australia as a 'Garden of Eden', when something happens , everyone forms a tacit understanding, and this place can become a real paradise.

Janet just mentioned one thing, didn't say much, but looked at the book in Simon's hand again: "Honey, why do you like "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?"

Simon thought for a while and said, "I'm not interested in the emotions that Marquez wants to express in the book. It's just that when you read it carefully, you can feel a feeling of time passing from the novel like a fast-flowing story." , It seems that in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of words have passed, and 100 years have passed. This is a very wonderful experience, especially now, staying with my lover and children, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and then, the short-lived In the afternoon, stretched to 100 years, imagine, it’s wonderful, right?”

Janet hummed twice, stopped talking, her eyes fell on the book in Simon's hand, and began to immerse herself in it.

Then the female assistant who sends the kids to naps joins in.

One Hundred Years of Solitude in the book.

Outside the book, I am not alone at all.

Such an idyllic life lasted for two or three days. It was not until Thursday morning that Simon remembered to deal with some work matters. Girl A has been with Simon these days. However, according to Simon’s instructions, as long as it is not special There is no need to let him know about things that are so important that they must be dealt with immediately.

None of the A-girls mentioned any jobs to Simon over the past few days.

On the morning of Thursday, after processing some accumulated documents, Simon checked his e-mail, which were mainly private e-mails. Then, he saw a letter from Chen Qing, talking about an incident that happened a few days ago .

There is a little schadenfreude between the lines.

Probably, when Zhu Momo's incident happened, he was approached by his mother, and Zhu Momo's mother asked to talk to him.

Chapter 1025 Talking

Simon didn't intend to pay attention to Zhu Momo's mother's request for dialogue. He didn't have so much time to deal with his lover's mother's needs.However, when I suddenly remembered what I had said about the other family when I talked to Zhu Momo, I became inexplicably interested again, and typed a reply letter to Chen Qing casually. I can take time to chat on Saturday, and Chen Qing was also asked to investigate by the way in the email. Let's look at the details of Zhu Momo's family.

Then some more mail was processed, and the time was approaching noon.

Girl A came to remind that Janet's elder brother Anthony Johnston's family had arrived, and Simon left the study.

Anthony is in Brazil these days, or because of the privatization of Vale, the largest iron ore manufacturer in Brazil, Johnston Holdings finally decided to take part of Vale's shares.

Simon also talked with the old man about this a few days ago.

It's still the original idea.

The Johnston family should not try to intervene in all major iron ore producers in the world, because this will inevitably lead to antitrust risks in the future, and it is easy to encounter precise targeting.

The old man partly agreed with Simon's thinking.

On the Australian side, the Johnston family will not attempt to fully integrate, but will take the initiative to leave another apparent competitor, but on the Brazilian side, they still have to intervene.

In order to actually control the world's iron ore industry, it is unreliable to reach an alliance or a tacit understanding in private. On the Australian side, the Johnston family, which is backed by the Westeros system, has enough confidence to maintain a strong influence, but on the Brazilian side, Even if Vale cannot be snatched, a certain degree of actual discourse power must be guaranteed.

In fact, it is a shareholding.

After all, Simon is a layman in the iron ore industry, and the old man's thinking still coincides with his to a large extent, so he didn't force it.

After greeting the Anthony family who came over, there was still some time before lunch. Simon and Anthony came to a study on the first floor, sat down, and waited for the waitress to deliver coffee. Anthony took the initiative to talk about the just-concluded trip to Brazil: " It has basically been confirmed that we can get 15% of the shares, and Mitsui in Japan is about 30%.”

Regarding Simon's thinking, he had also communicated on the phone in advance. Of course, there is no need to say more at this time, and he will directly talk about the result.

Simon nodded: "So, the Brazilian government still retains absolute control?"

"There are also resistances in Brazil, and this matter cannot be rushed," Anthony took a sip of coffee, held the cup in his hand, and continued: "However, if you want the Brazilian government to sell more shares, you only need to When the economic crisis comes again, the Brazilian government will have to let go even if it doesn’t want to. In fact, the Brazilian economy has been prosperous on the surface in recent years, but it is seriously unbalanced inside.”

The Brazilian economy has been up and down in the early 90s and was very unstable. The Mexican peso crisis hit Latin America two years ago, which is also an important reason why Brazil is willing to promote the privatization of Vale.

In the past two years, with the recovery of European and American economies and the rapid development of Asia, especially China, the Brazilian economy has also rebounded rapidly. However, Brazil, whose main economic drivers are iron ore and agricultural product exports, is vulnerable to changes in the external economic environment. Influence, which has been confirmed both before and in Simon's memory.This industrial model makes Brazil's economy far worse than the smooth upward curve that China started in the 90s, but continues to stumble up and down.

So Anthony's statement is basically correct.

As long as there is a crisis, in order to bail out, the Brazilian government has to sell property.

Thinking this way, Simon said: "Then it will be up to three years. You know, next year someone will attack Southeast Asia. At that time, the entire Asian economy will fall into a downturn. Asia has been Brazil's main export growth point in recent years. This influence has been transmitted to Latin America, up to three years."

"Three years is a bit short, at least five years later. However, this has nothing to do with us. According to your thinking, we only need to maintain a certain influence on Vale and will not pursue more. What is anxious is the Japanese talent. Yes," Anthony said here, smiled, and continued: "Speaking of which, our layout in China also blocks the way of the Japanese to a large extent, and they are not friendly to us now."

"Then I will spare time to go to Japan a few more times to repair the relationship."

Simon spoke teasingly, and Anthony laughed immediately.

Given the fact that Simon did not land on the ground every time and caused the "Westeros effect", he is definitely the least popular person in Japan now. If you go a few more times, you don't know how the Japanese stock market will suffer.

After a few jokes, Anthony continued: "I saw the latest immigration and labor bills drafted by the Liberal Party government on the plane back. I have to say that this is more in line with Australia's long-term plan. I really don't understand what those politicians used to do. .”

What Anthony was talking about was the latest immigration and labor policy bill quietly promoted by the Westeros system and the Johnston family as the direct leader.

In fact, it was Simon himself who initiated the promotion at first.

This matter started in March this year. After the latest election, the 3-year-old Labor Party government in Australia finally stepped down. The Liberal Party, which has been in opposition for many years, joined forces with another National Party to form an alliance to become Australia's newest ruling party.

To put it simply, the Labor Party and the Liberal Party in Australia roughly correspond to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States. One is conservative and the other is open.

When the Liberal Party came to power, it stands to reason that the immigration policy must become more open again.

The Westeros system that drove this general election behind the scenes does not want to see this happen. However, because the Labor Party tends to have high welfare and low taxes, low taxes are no problem, and it is impossible for any country to support the continuous increase of high welfare. That's why there was this operation of driving the Labor Party out of power under the tacit agreement of everyone.

The Liberal Party came to power, tightened welfare policies, and increased taxes. These Westeros systems are all acceptable.

Only immigration, Simon does not intend to let it go.

However, because of the serious shortage of people and the long-term shortage of labor force in Australia, it is impossible not to introduce immigrants.Therefore, Simon referred to Singapore's thinking. The latest policy is to open up high-net-worth immigrants, and at the same time openly introduce low-end labor in the form of bills.

High-net-worth immigrants entering Australia can increase the country's economic strength.

The introduction of low-end labor, of course, is not something that no one has thought of before, but it is more difficult to promote, because the people at the bottom are always not so smart. When they hear that the country is going to introduce labor, it is obvious that they are robbing their own jobs. How can this be accepted? So it has been difficult to implement.

This result actually led to the prevalence of black workers in Australia.

This time, as the Westeros system continues to control and infiltrate Australia, Simon, as his own backyard, of course spared no effort in all aspects of public opinion and campaigning, and spent a lot of money to clearly explain to opponents Among them, the bottom line of Australia thinks that it is more in their interest to do so, and the bill is naturally promoted.

In the final analysis, Simon is still for his own 'Eden Project'.

Since Australia is going to be the Garden of Eden of the Westeros family, not just Tasmania, it can be said that the entire continent is to some extent considered by Simon as his private territory. Simon knows very well that after many years The United States is in a chaotic state where the main ethnic group has lost power due to excessive ethnic diversity.

Of course, Simon does not allow this to happen in Australia.

Therefore, the low-end workers involved in this bill are like Singapore, or even more harsh than Singapore. Visas are reviewed twice a year. In the next batch, there is basically no possibility of naturalization.

Chatted with Anthony casually, until Janet came to call someone in person, and the two left the study to have lunch together.The Anthony family only lived here for two days, and they left voluntarily, without disturbing the private time of the Simon family too much.

However, in fact, it is almost time to leave here, and the plan is to end this week and return to North America next week.

Time soon came to Saturday, September 9th.

If Girl A hadn't reminded him, Simon would have almost forgotten something. In the evening, in a small private study on the second floor of the manor villa, a family outside was preparing for a BBQ. Simon took time out to come over.

Girl A has prepared video call equipment. On Simon’s side, a 100-inch projection screen on the wall will serve as an interactive interface. As for China’s side, it will probably be a computer.

After the communication was connected, Simon saw Chen Qing first.

Chen Qing just smiled and waved to her boss, said hello, and moved away.

Then, a woman in a long black dress sat in front of the camera. The appearance of the woman was somewhat similar to Zhu Momo. However, as Zhu Momo said at the beginning, her mother was prettier than her, and the woman in front of her was obviously resisting. The goblin type eroded by the years, one can't tell the age at a glance, the white and round oval face, compared with Zhu Momo, is more in line with Simon's aesthetics, and the whole person has a charming charm that has accumulated over the years.

Simon sat behind the large desk, looking at the projector screen, wearing a wireless headset, and on the other side of the call, Zhu Momo's mother, Mo Yiling, saw a young foreign man leaning on the leather chair behind the large desk on, looking at himself with a smile.

Even though the situation of this video call has been repeatedly brewing these days, in the face of this super rich man with a net worth of 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, even if he has a strong personality since he was a child, even if the young people on the opposite side seem not aggressive at all, even if the relationship between the two Even though they were separated by tens of thousands of miles, Mo Yiling naturally felt an inexplicable restraint, and even forgot to take the initiative to speak up for the right to speak.

In a study room in a courtyard in China, Chen Qing, Lin Su, Zhu Momo, and Zhu Momo's aunt Mo Wuling, who was only staying in the capital these days, saw the reaction of Mo Yiling sitting in front of the computer. different.

Zhu Momo felt even more emotional in his heart: This is the first time I have seen my mother look like this!

In the end, it was Simon who spoke first: "Hello, Ms. Mo."

Mo Yiling finally came back to his senses, quickly put away his thoughts, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Westeros."

Immediately react.

This foreigner's Chinese was so standard that she almost forgot that she was talking to a foreigner.

Simon looked at the woman's small expression on the projection screen, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "So, you want to talk to me?"

Mo Yiling quietly took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Westeros, I hope you can let go of my daughter, she is just a child."

Saying this, Mo Yiling, who quietly stood up and looked directly at the computer screen, began to emerge a certain kind of strong woman temperament, so that Zhu Momo heard her mother say these words suddenly, even though she was prepared, she wanted to He interrupted, but failed to muster up the courage.

On the other hand, Simon was not surprised by Mo Yiling's words, nor was he affected by the change of femininity, and he nodded readily: "As long as it is Momo's personal wish, I have no problem here. I never Don't force the women around you, they are all free and can leave at any time."

Now it was Mo Yiling's turn to be stunned.

Unexpectedly, the man across from him would be so talkative, and... well, how could he be so talkative!

Feeling inexplicably angry, Mo Yiling stared at the computer screen: "Mr. Westeros, it seems that you don't care about my daughter."

Simon admired Mo Yiling's sullen look through the projection screen. The woman probably has no experience in video calls, so she doesn't know that staring at the computer screen is useless, and she should look at the camera.

Of course, Simon didn't mean to remind the other party. Instead, he laughed: "Ms. Mo, you remind me of a sentence from Confucius, only a woman and a villain are difficult to raise. If you are close, you will not be inferior, and if you are far away, you will complain. I will not let you go." You will definitely be very angry when your daughter leaves, and now, I agree, I didn't expect you to be so angry, which makes me very embarrassed. "

puff-

Hearing what Simon said, Zhu Momo couldn't help laughing outright.

Mo Yiling was also suddenly embarrassed, and a little unexpected again, and this man is really hateful.

It's just that I didn't expect Simon to let go so easily, which made many strong words prepared by Mo Yiling useless. If it was someone else, so weak, so 'useless', Mo Yiling would never get entangled with the other party , but, this time, it was different after all.

For this call, she was stranded in Beijing for a week.In other words, she was left hanging by a certain man for a week, and a lot of work was left behind in her hometown, which also caused dissatisfaction among some people.

Unexpectedly, the result would be like this.

In the final analysis, although he was unwilling to admit it no matter what, Mo Yiling understood that his abnormal performance today was ultimately due to the identity of the man opposite him.

The super rich with a wealth of 1.5 trillion US dollars, Mo Yiling is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world. Of course, she understands what is behind such a huge capital. The deputy county magistrate is unlikely to have any interaction with such a big man in his life.

Taking a deep breath again, Mo Yiling said, "In this case, Mr. Westeros, I still have some other conditions."

Simon felt that he shouldn't be too talkative this time, so he shook his head: "Ms. Mo, it's too unreasonable for you to say that. Now that I have let go of your daughter, you can't ask me for anything else."

now it's right!

Mo Yiling immediately realized the feeling, and confronted her tit for tat: "This is what my daughter deserves. When she was with you, she was still a...little girl."

"..."

Zhu Momo, who was listening, didn't expect her mother to say it so bluntly, and she had the urge to cover her face.

Of course, Simon also understood what Mo Yiling was referring to, but he insisted on shaking his head: "But, Ms. Mo, you may also know that we Westerners don't pay much attention to this."

Mo Yiling immediately shook his head: "No, Mr. Westeros, since you are so familiar with Chinese culture, you must understand what it means, and you should be very concerned about it."

"..."

Zhu Momo wanted to cover her face.

Mo Wuling listened to his elder sister arguing with Simon Westeros, and felt the urge to cover her face: Sister, is it appropriate for you, a mother, to argue with your daughter's man?
