"I understand, now let's talk about your next stage of the plan."

"Okay," Peter Thiel sat upright and said with a serious face, "First of all, you have to know that political donations are a normal phenomenon in our Western democracies. Because regularly held campaigns and daily political activities of political parties and candidates require a lot of

The amount of funds cannot be met solely by the assets owned by the political parties or candidates themselves, and must be raised from society through various means.”

"I understand that ZZ donations also provide an opportunity for financially powerful individuals or groups to use money to influence political operations, which has given rise to 'money power politics.'" Ning Zimo complained.

"Yes, but you can't simply think that ZZ's donation is a bribe, and then think that using money to pave the way can get the results you want." Peter said.

"you mean?"

"Let me give you an analogy and you will understand," Peter leaned forward and said, "For example, ZZ donated about US$600 million during the election before George W. Bush came to power, of which the largest amount was US$5 million, but in fact most of it was US$5 million.

It is a small donation from ordinary voters.

These people who support George W. Bush are a community of political ideas. It is not reproachable to say that George W. Bush is the spokesperson for the interests of these donors. After all, which politician does not represent the interests of some groups?

However, this kind of representation is more of an open and transparent endorsement within the legal framework, rather than just a power manipulation similar to House of Cards that you and I simply imagine."

"What you mean is that even if you make a donation to ZZ, it still needs to be close to ZD's long-term goals. It cannot just be a simple donation of money." Ning Zimo frowned.

"It's generally true, but it's not absolute. Because ZZ will ultimately involve national interests and will be a game between countries. And the game between countries must involve greater interests, ZD

They often label certain countries as enemies to guide national sentiment and public opinion to achieve their own goals of continuing."

???

Ning Zimo was confused when he heard this, but fortunately Peter saw his confusion and explained it in time.

"There is a profound meaning behind this sentence, but to put it simply in your case, U.S. law prohibits foreign institutions or individuals from donating to candidates in U.S. elections."

???

Ning Zimo was even more puzzled. If he couldn't do such a thing, it would be impossible for Peter Thiel to ask him to come to the United States.

Is it possible?

"So, from the beginning, you need to position your ZZ donation within the scope of charity or public welfare!" Peter Thiel further explained.

Ning Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, is this important?"

"It's very important. There are always universal values ​​behind charity, which will give your donation a legible position. As a foreigner, the simpler your purpose, the more favor you will win from these politicians.

Good feelings. These good feelings will ultimately determine whether they want to stand behind you and help you."

Ning Zimo spread his hand and said, "ZZ is too complicated. I might as well write a novel, so that I can code a lot of words without understanding anything."

Peter Thiel did not answer his words, shrugged and continued, "So, let me tell you about the current donations in the United States. These projects include religion, education, social services, foundations, medical care, and public welfare.

Culture and art, international affairs, environmental protection and individuals, and you must choose one of these items as the reason for your ZZ donation.”

“Is this where America’s philanthropic programs primarily go?”

"Yes."

"Then do you have any suggestions?" Ning Zimo asked.

Ning Zimo knows his biggest shortcoming. He can use various arrangements to avoid the ZZ risks of Chinese companies becoming multinational companies. Mensheng Development will only make a low-key debut when the company reaches a certain scale and has the ability to withstand risks, but this is already

It's the limit of what he can do.

But if we really want to talk about the ZZ involved in multinational enterprises, this thing is essentially different from commercial things. Although China in the past life had multinational groups in many fields, but in those fields that did not involve the interests of superpowers, they

I don't care to fight them.

But once it comes to those fields that are valued by the superpowers, there will definitely be considerable resistance from the zz field.

ZTE, Huawei, DJI and even Hikvision, any of these well-known Chinese companies in the past are not threatened by superpowers!

But these things have transcended the field of business. Even Huawei has accumulated a certain amount of experience in frontal battlefields and superpowers for more than ten years. In fact, if Huawei had not already laid out the plan, it would have only relied on timely response.

, it cannot solve the fundamental problem at all.

Therefore, it was great luck to meet Peter Thiel, a German-American who has some experience in this field that he is not good at.

In his previous life, Peter Thiel once became Cornhead's backroom staff after he came to power. It is impossible to say that he does not have ZZ sensitivity.

The facts before us are also here. Whether it is analyzing the ZZ donation model in the United States or listing the feasible ZZ donation range, Peter Thiel's participation has made Ning Zimo feel that he can avoid many detours.

Seeing Ning Zimo's listening look, Peter Thiel smiled happily.

Peter Thiel has always admired Ning Zimo, the youngest COO in PayPal's history, and he has always believed that this appreciation is well-founded. Now Ning Zimo's development has been beyond his expectations.

, he became more and more sure of his original vision of people, and he became more and more willing to continue to cooperate with him.

The participation of Bing Ecosystem is only the first step, and they will definitely have more places to cooperate in the future.

But the important thing is that only by helping him solve the problems he is currently facing, the friendship between him and Ning will be as deep as that of Elon Musk, who helped Ning acquire Blizzard.

In a sense, this relationship is called comrades-in-arms. It is a deeper comrade-in-arms relationship than those who fought together at PayPal, because the current comrade-in-arms relationship is more equal than before at PayPal!

With his thoughts flowing, Peter opened his mouth and said:

“Religion, education, social services, foundations, medical care, public welfare, culture and art, international affairs, environmental protection and individuals are the main parts of the ZZ donation charity route in the United States.

But compared with the parts related to ZZ donations and elections, the parts related to religion, education, social services, foundations, medical care, public welfare, and international affairs are not the parts you can choose.”

"Because I am a Chinese, I have to have my own national stance no matter what I say." Ning Zimo said.

Peter Thiel smiled and said, "Yes, even if you participate in these parts, it won't hold up if your position is different, especially if it will not be more conducive to your development in China."

"You'll probably be called a traitor."

"Yes," Peter Thiel nodded, "So, the only options you can choose are culture and art, environmental protection and individuals, which have more universal values."

Ning Zimo understood what Peter meant in a flash, and immediately sorted out a feasible approach.

"In fact, there is no need to consider the cultural, artistic and personal aspects, because only the personal aspect is not influential enough, and although culture and art are more influential, they are not suitable."

The zz donation method for culture and art is indeed inappropriate. After all, although civilization is human, culture does have a regional nature. If you choose culture and art, this is still a narrow and unfavorable choice in a sense.

"So, if I guess correctly, you will support my choice of environmental protection." Ning Zimo said firmly.

Peter Thiel nodded with pleasure, "Yes, the most suitable and only way for you to donate money is environmental protection. Because environmental protection is absolutely correct nowadays and must have a considerable influence.

"

Ning Zimo smiled, "I think environmental protection is indeed the most suitable, because why should a superpower set a benchmark?"

It’s about environmental protection!

There is nothing more suitable than it!

Because in addition to influence, raising the environmental protection of the superpowers to an absolute height also has something that can be used to disgust them!

In her previous life, there was a little Swedish girl Thunberg who was less than 16 years old. She was an ordinary child. Suddenly one day she had a sudden impulse and carried a sign saying "Schools are closed for the climate" in Sweden every Friday.

Sit quietly at the door for a while.

After persisting like this for several times, she suddenly became a teen idol all over the world.

After that, Western public opinion began to turn this little girl into a spokesperson for the earth's environmental protection, and the environmental strike she initiated quickly became a trend in Europe and the United States.

2 million students from 135 countries joined in, so much so that the student strike eventually extended to workers’ strikes. In the previous two environmental strikes in September 2019, 3 million people participated. As a result, the government elites of Western countries had to come out to fight with them.

dialogue.

In fact, the behavior of this little girl with weird behavior is just a correct extension of Western countries. And Western "environmentalism" promotes this little girl to attack developing countries.

Because developing countries started late, their economic foundations are weak, and people's living standards continue to improve, they must develop industry and agriculture. However, Western superpowers started early, completed primitive accumulation in the process of colonial plunder, and completed industrialization and modernization early. So when

When they start to enjoy life, they have to prevent the industrialization of developing countries. Isn't this double standards?

So how do they achieve it?

Ning Zimo vaguely remembered that it was in 2009 in his previous life, which is next year in this life.

Representatives from 192 countries gathered and held a summit in Hagen, Denmark. At this meeting, the EU had a main goal, which was to establish a carbon dioxide emission quota system, that is, to control carbon emission rights.

The general meaning of this carbon emission right is: in order to prevent the greenhouse effect, humans must control carbon dioxide emissions within a certain range, so each country can only emit a specified amount of carbon dioxide, which is a carbon dioxide quota. If it exceeds the specified amount, it must be like other countries

Purchasing carbon emission allowances is also known as carbon trading.

As the designers of the system, European countries have given themselves "per capita carbon emission quotas" that are several times those of developing countries. For example, China's per capita quota is only one-quarter of that of developed countries. If this system were implemented, then in 2020 in the previous life

, China spends 1 trillion US dollars to purchase carbon allowances every year.

1 trillion US dollars!

This amount is second only to the 2 trillion imported chips and 1.5 trillion imported oil imports.

You must know that chips and oil are physical items after all, and the so-called carbon emission quota is just an agreement. With an agreement, Europe can plunder trillions of dollars in revenue from China. Isn't this faster than robbing money?

The idea is good, but this plan will not work in this life. Since the zz donation can only go along the environmental protection route, then simply promote the United States to a high point in environmental protection!

Not only give money, but also publicity! Let the United States become an "environmental protection pioneer", praise the United States to the sky, and strongly promote their "freedom and equality", and also use public opinion to implant per capita peace and equality into next year's Hagen

Carbon Emissions Summit.

As long as you do enough work, you can not only gain enough capital to win this political donation, but you can also use the opportunity to praise the United States to raise the moral high ground of European and American countries.

At the Copenhagen Conference at that time, when people all over the world were staring at the moral benchmark of "freedom and equality" behind them, how could they still make money from "environmental protection"?

All the thoughts went through his mind, and Ning Zimo quickly connected them together.

In the end, Ning Zimo himself trembled, "ZZ is really a double-edged sword sometimes."

"Who says not," Peter laughed, "At least, your iPhone Zero can profit from it!"

"Profit?" Ning Zimo curled his lips and smiled, "Victory should belong to us."

Not only victory,

I also want to praise and kill him,

Even more slap in the face!
