Chapter 144
Jed didn't even bother to refute Soros's "pro-son theory".According to Soros' thinking, is there still a few sons of the United States in the world?Isn't Japan your own son?Isn't Mexico a real son?In the final financial turmoil, the losses of these two countries may not be less than those of other countries, right?What's more, compared with Japan and Mexico, the position of the Philippines is not that important.
Jed is very clear that the reason why the United States relies heavily on countries like the Philippines and Indonesia is nothing more than to build the so-called "first blockade island chain" to trap China and Russia on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean.Of course, the main blockade target of the first island chain is still Russia. After all, compared with Russia's Pacific Fleet, China's East China Sea Fleet and South China Sea Fleet at this time are not enough, and they only have the ability to operate in offshore waters.So the first island chain deals with Russia, and China is just additional damage, but what the United States did not expect is that its first island chain actually forced China, which was originally estranged from each other, into the Russian camp.
In order to prevent China from completely falling over, the United States had to compromise with China on some economic policies, which also gave China's manufacturing industry a pretty good development opportunity at the end of the 2th century.Whether it is the Philippines or Indonesia, they are only political and military partners for the United States, and the two sides are basically not economic allies.So Jed and Soros played with fire in Indonesia, and in the end there was no problem stemming from that.Of course, it also has something to do with the strength of the ally group formed by Jed and Soros in the end.However, compared with Indonesia, the Philippines is less attractive to US interest groups.
Indonesia has huge mine resources and oil field resources that make American interest groups salivate, but the Philippines has less mine resources than Indonesia, and most of the oil field resources are in dispute with China. American interest groups will not be so stupid as to pay for it themselves. Money speaks for the Philippine government.Fortunately, the iron ore resources in the Philippines are relatively rich, so they are still interested in Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.As for other light and textile industries, Jed suddenly thought of a way to benefit himself at the expense of others.
He called Soros. After hearing about Jed's public relations plan, Soros was dumbfounded and said: "My dear Jed, if I were Al Gore, I would definitely invite you to join my campaign committee. Suitable for the position of press secretary or public relations officer."
Sure enough, like the legends of later generations, Soros is a typical supporter of the Democratic Party.No wonder Soros had a hard time after Bush Jr. came to power.Even when the Quantum Fund was about to go bankrupt, the U.S. government didn't even have the idea of pulling a hand.However, it was rare for Jed to remind Soros. After all, a person's political stance is too personal. If he proposes rashly, he may be hated by others.
But Jed still ordered: "Try to contact as many media as possible to create momentum."
In fact, Jed's proposal is very simple, that is, to use the power of the most powerful trade union in the United States.The trade unions in the United States are very powerful. For example, Jade’s film company has several trade unions participating in it. You cannot be a photographer for any film company without a record of the photography union.If you have a camera union record, but go to work as a lighting engineer, other personnel can report the company to the lighting union, and the company and the workers who cross the border will be fined.Jed even knows that the employees in his company who are responsible for cleaning the toilets have their own trade unions. From this, we can know how many trade unions there are in the United States, right?
And these trade unions will form trade union alliances of the same nature. For example, the Radio Screenwriters Association and the TV Drama Screenwriters Association form the Screenwriters Association.In the United States, all kinds of trade unions or trade union federations, large and small, are affiliated to the American Federation of Labor-Confederation of Industrial Unions. They have as many as 12 million registered members, and they are a force that any US presidential candidate dare not underestimate.And Jed wants to persuade this organization to come forward to endorse the looting operation of Jed and others, mainly to prevent the US government from aiding the Philippines.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The prosperous textile industry and other light industries in the Philippines have to a certain extent caused the unemployment of workers in related industries in the United States.In the past, the AFL-CIO in the United States has always disliked China for this reason, and now let them dislike the Philippines first.If there is the AFL-CIO joining, presumably the US government and Congress will naturally not risk the disapproval of the world.
Just as Jed was preparing for the preliminary work, Michael Bay had already announced the first version of the promotional video of "Clash of Heaven and Earth" on the American media.Michael Bay deserves to be the best commercial film director on the planet, and he knows how to hold the audience's heart.
In a dark universe, an asteroid is fast approaching the earth... Should a professional reporter uncover the secrets that the government is trying to cover up?Should a president elected by the people make this doomsday announcement?When the plan to save the earth fails, who has the chance to enter the shelter and get shelter?Scientists and teachers are the hope to continue the fire of human civilization. Should those innocent civilians and their children be sacrificed?The innocent eyes of the child, the miserable tears of the parents, the asteroid that began to enter the atmosphere and burn...
The screen suddenly went dark, and then subtitles appeared. "Clash of Heaven and Earth".Works by Michael Bay.Produced by Galaxy Films. The summer of 1998 struck.
It has to be said that the distribution ability of Galaxy movies is getting stronger and stronger.With the relationship between Yinhe Movies and Disney, Bowei International simply provides channels to Galaxy Movies, and Galaxy Movies must handle the rest.Although Jed was disgusted by Disney's practice of taking money and doing nothing, he still endured it. First, he really needed Buwei International to do this to exercise his company's publisher; second, he also entrusted a team of lawyers to collect evidence , to find reasons for future termination.
Jed also didn't blame Jia Fei for not knowing himself when he promoted "Clash of Heaven and Earth". After all, according to the company structure Shannetti built, he was only the president of Sherman Entertainment Group, while Jia Fei and Meribo were the ones. The corresponding CEO in charge of film production and distribution.According to the company's structure, the president does not participate in specific execution work, so Jia Fei and Mai Ruibo do not need to ask Jed for instructions.On the contrary, at this time, Jed is still a film director under Jia Fei and Meribo, how can he tell himself the progress of his opponent's film?
American companies have a complete set of mechanisms to restrain internal competition, the most famous of which is the "Great Wall Policy."That is to say, two groups with conflicting interests within the company will be temporarily separated by the company management in terms of administration and personnel, and neither party can know any information about the other.Of course, in addition to institutional constraints, this is also related to the professional ethics of American employees.
After watching the promotional video, Jed must also admit that Michael Bay's storytelling ability is indeed much stronger than the original "Clash of Heaven and Earth".From the perspective of the script, Jed also thinks that "Clash of Heaven and Earth" is much better than "Peerless Cataclysm", because "Peerless Cataclysm" peels off the layer of special effects, and the story is so pale that it makes people uninterested.However, the two elements of "redemption" and "rescue" in "Heaven and Earth" are favorites of film critics and film judges, and "Heaven and Earth" has fallen into the hands of Michael Bay. Are you still worried that the scene is not dazzling enough? what?
Jed couldn't help but smiled wryly, maybe he would really be tricked by Michael Bay.At the box office, Jed is not worried about losing to Michael Bay. After all, he designed the space shuttle crash scene and the scene of drilling a hole in a comet... These two scenes are enough to beat "Heaven and Earth", which is basically an earth scene. "Big Clash".However, the final setting of father and daughter reconciliation and yin and yang separation in "Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" may make enough tears, but it is a bit of a joke for well-informed film critics.Jed had to rub his forehead, it seemed that he might still lose.
"My dear Jed, things are ready." One morning, Soros called. "I spent money here to instigate a garrison near Manila to launch a military coup in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. I think that both the futures index and the foreign exchange market in the Philippines will fall. I need a lot of funds to short-sell the Philippine futures index and the Philippine peso. ?”
Jed was startled secretly, it seems that this Soros is not a vegetarian master, he even bought the local army to rebel in order to cheat the Philippines.However, this is indeed a simple and effective method. After all, the political instability in the Philippines is well known to all the world. Even if there is another military coup, it will not make people suspect that someone is behind it.However, Jed said very calmly: "I will immediately let Hualin start shorting the relevant index, but you have to control the group of people. If a humanitarian disaster is created in Manila, we will not be able to get out afterwards." of."
"Don't worry, we can't be found." Soros said with a smile. "In this world, you can find omnipotent agents with money, even war agents. You don't know that there are some in the United States. Rich people like to go to war in Africa, right? They use war agents to instigate hatred among several tribes in Africa, and then they each join a tribe to fight, and whoever loses in the end has to pay all the war expenses of the winner. "
"They thought they were playing "Empire"!" Jed couldn't help but sneered.
"Take care of them." Soros persuaded, "Don't worry, these people will insist on peace talks with the government after a day. They are just short of money, and they don't have a deep hatred with the government, so they won't die for nothing."
With the information provided by Soros, Jed naturally ordered the people from Hualin Investment Bank to prepare.Because of the example of tossing Indonesia last time, everyone is more and more convinced of Jade.Everyone got ready according to the schedule provided by Jed.In order to prevent things like Indonesia from happening again, Jed sent an alert to the Chinese community in the Philippines through the Chinese American Historical Society.Fortunately, the anti-Chinese forces in the Philippines are not as strong as those in Indonesia, and the wealth of the Filipino Chinese is average, so they are not particularly worried about anything bad happening.
It was an ordinary Friday, but with a gunshot outside Manila, the entire world's attention was drawn to the Philippines.Because at this time, Indonesian President Suharto was being questioned by the country and his position was not guaranteed. At this time, a military coup suddenly occurred in the Philippines, which made the eyes of politicians all over the world have to pay attention to that country.However, the Asian Broadcasting Corporation is still the first to get the platform close to the water. One hour after the coup in the Philippines, it began to broadcast the situation in Manila to the world.
