Chapter 274: The President's Concerns

After a brief review ceremony, the group went to the Cabinet Palace, but the lunch was settled at the palace, which was also a guarantee for the palace and the royal family in Ragnar. ∮∮,

Cabinet Office Meeting Room:

"Ten years ago, the European Reconstruction Plan made the Nord and American countries begin to move towards the beginning of friendship, and today, ten years later, I have come to the land of the Nord Kingdom again, although the economy and cities have become completely different, but I believe that our friendship will never change."

Joseph always smiled and did not answer such false words, and Smith said: "Ten years of friendship will not be shaken by some misunderstanding, and His Excellency the President's visit to the Nord Kingdom is the best proof of this. ”

"Now is the new century, education and science and technology are the first, the Nord Kingdom is a big country in science and technology and education, and the same is true for the United States, I hope the two sides can reach a strategic partnership in some aspects."

If there is no explanation, it is okay to agree, especially on this occasion, although their words will not be said originally, but after all, refusal is a big deal, and once they refuse in person, it is estimated that it is impossible for both parties to sit here again.

"Naturally, I'm looking forward to working with the U.S. as well."

"I came to Nord a few years ago, but at that time Nord was still a relatively small country, I didn't expect that in a few years, the Nord Kingdom was already a power in the European Union, and even had a certain status and influence in the world, all of which were inseparable from the cabinet and the royal family."

"It is entirely the credit of His Majesty the King that the Nord Kingdom is where it is today, and the role of the cabinet is nothing more than that of a manager."

Stirring up and dividing the wedge? Maybe it was a little bit but it didn't make sense, after all, he had just arrived and there was no reason to do so. The only explanation is that he believes too much in the power of the Nord Kingdom's cabinet and underestimates the control of the royal family over the kingdom.

At this time, Joseph suddenly said: "The level of medical care in the United States is very good, and if I can, I hope to reach some cooperation in this regard, especially for cancer treatment." ”

In terms of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, the Nord Kingdom has even begun to surpass Huaxia, if the top ten Chinese medicine practitioners in the world are selected at this time. The Nord Kingdom will occupy six, and even master-level Chinese medicine practitioners can occupy sixty percent.

The Nord Kingdom attaches great importance to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and at the same time provides the greatest support for the welfare and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine is developing rapidly, and Western medicine is also good, but compared with the United States, there are still some shortcomings, especially the lack of background in some special fields, and they need to cooperate with countries like the United States.

Switzerland was the best option, but cooperation with Switzerland did not make political sense as cooperation with the United States. This is a sign of mutual forgiveness between the Nord Kingdom and the United States.

"Actually, I have another purpose for this visit."

Joseph and Smith understood the main task and looked at the young president of the United States.

"In the automotive industry, a few years ago, Nord's Audi AG opened up the US market together with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and Citroen in the European Union, which has a great impact on the US automobile economy, and we hope to ......"

Finally conceded defeat? After so many years, I finally can't hold on anymore? Joseph and Smith looked at each other and felt a little incredible, after all, according to the current situation, the American car companies have not yet reached the point where they can no longer sustain, and the United States has just gained the status of world hegemon.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about it. After all, although Audi is a state-owned enterprise, they all operate independently, and the government and the royal family only have the right to dividends and the rights of some shareholders, so I am afraid that this matter is ......."

"Maybe King Joseph misunderstood me. What I mean by that is that we are interested in selling our shares in General Motors, and that Ford and Kreesler are willing to share the market with Audi. ”

Nani?

Joseph and Smith were really stunned by the words of the President of the United States, they did not expect that the President of the United States would choose to abandon the American automobile economy in this situation, what was his purpose? Are there any unacceptable demands next?

"Elsewhere, we hope to be able to work closely together. Especially in education and technology, especially in the IT industry, we can open the market to Microsoft and Apple. But hopefully they will be able to share some of the successful techniques with us. In terms of education, I hope to secure some exchange places for Harvard, Yale University, and Nord Royal College, and exchange teachers between the two schools for a deeper level of cooperation. ”

Sure enough, it's a collaboration between education and the IT industry, but what is the purpose of doing this? The United States will not occupy too many benefits in it, and the real cheap can only be the Nord Kingdom.

Although I have doubts in my heart, how can I refuse such a good thing? Smith glanced at Joseph, and after Joseph did not explicitly refuse, he was happy to reach an agreement with the President of the United States.

It was already noon, and the group went to the Nord Palace, with the development of time and technology, Joseph became more and more dislike the palace, the main reason is that it is too quaint to symbolize the new century is about to symbolize the sense of technology and fashion.

In comparison, Joseph still prefers Gao Jingxuan's small villa, which is completely modern and has all kinds of high-tech things, such as the castle, and you feel a little weird when you install a TV and a computer.

For lunch, the President of the United States first admired the luxury and beauty of the palace, and then expressed his shock at Joseph's huge collection of books. It was evident that he knew a lot about women, and Kate had a great time talking to her.

Without letting the President of the United States go to a hotel or something like that to rest, he stayed in the Nord Kingdom, and in terms of safety, there was perhaps no place like the palace of the Nord Kingdom.

The president of the United States did not refuse and did not have a reason to refuse, looking at the back of Abner with him leaving, Kate's smile dissipated: "He is even more difficult to deal with than his predecessor." ”

"But now he's still friendly to us."

Katten nodded and didn't deny it, but she was just a little worried.

"Tomorrow he'll probably visit Microsoft and Apple, and Smith will accompany him, and hopefully nothing will happen that we don't want to see."

The next day, the President of the United States went to Microsoft, Apple, and two Nord technology companies to welcome him, but no one knew what was going on in his heart.

The iPhone generation has already been launched, but because it is still in testing and has not been sold, the Nord Kingdom has already developed a Wi-Fi wireless network, but perhaps he has not had the opportunity to apply it to the first generation.

With a sleek and beautiful appearance and a 3.5-inch touch screen, you can enjoy your favorite music, watch movies and videos, and browse photos. With your iPhone, you can take it all with you.

This is the slogan hanging on the outside of the iphone1, pick up the iphone1, the president of the United States is very unbelievable for the beautiful little guy in his hand, this is actually a mobile phone? A few years ago, Big Brother was a heaven and an earth compared to it.

"He has the functions of surfing the Internet, sending emails, obtaining location information, checking the weather, tracking the stock market, etc., but the current communication network latency is relatively high and the speed is also very slow, and he can only barely meet the Internet requirements."

"When will it be available?"

"It's expected to be July next year, and if there is an accident, maybe go back to March '95, but at that time, at the latest, after all, we still have a lot of things to improve, Apple is a company in charge, and we won't put any substandard products on sale."

The President of the United States first praised Apple's conviction and then asked, "What about the price?" I guess a phone like this should be quite expensive! ”

"900 euros, our initial pricing is 900 euros, if there is a certain technical breakthrough, then it may be reduced a little downgrade, but it will not be less than 800 euros."

800 euros, this price is also a bit high, for countries like Europe and the United States may be acceptable, but countries like China and India are a little difficult, after all, 800 euros is equivalent to 4000+ in China, but at this time China's inflation is very strong, China's currency purchasing power is poor, the official 5.7619?:1 has no market at all, and the black market has risen to 8.6187:1.

The euro is better, on the dollar...... People who can't afford it can't exchange it at all, and even if the euro doesn't have anything to do with it, then it is very difficult to exchange it.

The price of 800 euros is not too high for American citizens, so the US president began to worry about some of the impact of the iPhone 1 on the United States.

If the iPhone 1 only worries the President of the United States, then when it comes to Microsoft, a giant company that has formed an international monopoly, the President of the United States has some panic in his heart.

Microsoft and its subsidiaries have begun to take over the world, and of course that is the future, not the present, and if nothing else, it is simply unstoppable.

Microsoft Search, Microsoft Online Shopping, Microsoft Games, Microsoft News, Microsoft Video, Microsoft Music, Microsoft Chat, Microsoft ......

To put it simply, it has extended its tentacles into the real retail industry, media industry, entertainment industry, and communication industry, and all of them add up to a behemoth, a behemoth that can no longer be stopped.

Microsoft online shopping has started in the United States, but because of trust, it is only a little bit now, but it can be expected that people will adapt to this kind of life in the future, because for the future, isn't it possible to solve everything without leaving home?

Voice and video chat, this is an important reform in education, and it will definitely completely replace the communication industry in the future, because the iPhone 1 is an example, people will use the MSN mobile version instead of the phone card to make calls in the future.

Needless to say, Microsoft Video and Microsoft Music, it is wishful thinking for the traditional entertainment industry to compete with Microsoft in the future, and a cost problem will make it difficult for them to continue. (To be continued......)
