Chapter 884: Eureka
Seeing that Jerome was seriously thinking about his words, the corners of Chen Dahe's mouth turned up slightly, and he leaned back on the back of the sofa.
Although Jerome is already a well-known banker in Europe, managing banks and companies with assets of tens of billions, Chen Dahe has no psychological burden to beat, let alone worry about whether he will have any ideas.
It's not like a few years ago, and now his identity has gradually spread in European high society, which is a semi-open secret, and if Jerome dares to leave, he can re-recruit a banker to replace him, and there must be many people interested in such a promising comprehensive bank.
In addition, in the past year, through the security management company that specializes in serving the Third International banking system, Liu Jianshe has penetrated the tentacles of the intelligence department into every level of the bank, whether it is Jerome or the management team that may take over him, he will inevitably be under strict surveillance, and there is no need to worry about someone doing ghosts.
However, Chen Dahe is still willing to believe in Jerome's character, maybe this time it is just because of the rare opportunity and his mentality is a little unbalanced, just a light click, he can figure it out, and stay to work better for him.
Only Jerome himself knows what the truth is, but on the surface, he is indeed looking at himself seriously as Chen Dahe thinks.
After the work was over, Jerome was in no mood to chat here, so he got up and left.
But before he could reach the door, he suddenly slapped the door of his head and turned back.
Chen Dahe was about to get up and leave, and when he saw him turn back, he sat down again, "What's the matter?"
"There's another big thing, I almost forgot about it," Jerome patted his head and sat down, threw the briefcase aside with a wry smile, looked at Chen Dahe and said softly, "That's right, I received news that the foreign ministers of France and the Federal Republic of Germany are discussing a major event related to the future of the whole of Europe, and I think that if I can participate, it should be of great benefit to the development of the real company, and in addition, it can also provide guidance for the bank's investment direction." ”
"A major event related to the future of the whole of Europe?" Chen Dahe was stunned when he heard this, "Can such a big event casually let you receive news?"
"It's a big deal, but there's no need to keep it secret," Jerome said with a smile, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's very simple, that is, with the development of the American Star Wars program and the introduction of targeted measures by the Soviet Union, in the field of high technology, the gap between Europe and the United States and the Soviet Union is getting wider and wider, and there are even signs of being overtaken by Japan, which greatly stimulates the nerves of Europeans. Material and financial resources to work together on research and development in the field of high-tech in order to improve the scientific and technological level of Europe and effectively maintain its economic position in the world of the future!"
Project Eureka?!
A few words swirled in Chen Dahe's mouth, and he swallowed it stiffly, his face remained silent, and he raised his hand to signal Jerome to continue.
When he heard Jerome's extremely simple introduction, Chen Dahe thought of the Eureka project, which had an important impact on the whole of Europe, and the reason why this project was born was directly related to the Star Wars program in the United States.
Originally, according to the original historical process, Ronald Reagan would have proposed a far-reaching Star Wars plan at the beginning of '83, and it would not be officially implemented until the beginning of '85, and almost a few months later, Mitterrand proposed the Eureka plan.
However, under the interference of Chen Dahe, the idea of the Star Wars plan was proposed two years in advance, and it was catalyzed by the poor economic situation in the United States at that time, and the project was implemented earlier.
Therefore, the gap between the United States and Europe in the field of cutting-edge science and technology at this time is actually greater than the original history.
However, due to strong historical inertia, it was not until this year that Mitterrand officially put forward this plan, and as for the specific implementation, I am afraid that it will not be possible until the second half of the year at the earliest.
Jerome didn't know how hard it was in the blink of an eye, Chen Dahe had already thought about it so much, and still said to himself, "The original intention of this plan was to keep up with the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, so that the traditional Western European countries would not be left behind too much, so his main proposal focused on the field of cutting-edge science and technology, including five major parts,"
Jerome crossed his fingers and counted them one by one and said, "The first is to vigorously develop computer technology, including the establishment of a European software engineering center and the development of advanced microcomputers; the second is to develop automation devices and develop automatic devices and automated factories for civil safety; the third is communication technology, to develop information networks for scientific research services, and to develop large-scale data switches; the fourth is to develop bioengineering, to study artificial seeds, control engineering, and so on; and fifth, to study new materials, to study new material structures, and to develop high-efficiency turbines." ”
Chen Dahe's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa, and after a moment, he raised his head and asked, "I'm afraid, it's not just civilian, right?!"
Jerome pouted the corners of his mouth and shrugged, "This is something that discerning people know, many people who experienced World War II will be alive, most of these old people have a strong anti-war sentiment, if it is proposed for military use, not many people in Western Europe will agree, but it is different for civilian use, no one wants their country to lag behind others, a large number of high-tech enterprises will also enhance the people's patriotism, and it is naturally easier to pass the proposal!"
The corners of Chen Dahe's mouth turned up slightly, sure enough, European politicians like to put on a democratic coat when doing things, but to put it bluntly, it is still that set of things, any cutting-edge technology, as long as it can be used, must give priority to serving the military.
However, it is undeniable that once this plan is implemented, it will have a very great effect on the scientific and technological level of the entire Western Europe, so that the traditional old world will not be thrown away by the emerging new world, and Mitterrand also has capable people around him, and the five directions he selected are the main force for the development of cutting-edge science and technology in the future, as long as the general direction is okay, and with the full cooperation of Western European countries, this plan will certainly succeed.
And such an opportunity, as long as there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, Chen Dahe does not want to miss it.
The monetary benefits and speed of participation in this program may be much lower than that of investing in Japan, but there are times when business investment cannot be measured in terms of money alone.
Although the nature of a company is a profit-making organization, and the more money you make, the better, but the importance of money is more important than being able to control a technology force that has a significant social impact.
For example, if the leaders of those Western European countries choose a company from the third international banking system to take away, some people may choose Star Computer, and some will choose the third automobile industry, but there will never be any country that will list the third international bank in the first place, and even the newly established mining group company will be ranked in front of the bank, from the perspective of social contribution, finance will always be for industry and people's livelihood, rather than profit above everything else.
If this happens, it means that the country's economy has problems and needs to be treated.
So there was almost no need to think about it, Chen Dahe resolutely decided to participate in this plan at all costs!
