After listening to Anderson's introduction, Li Sanjie and others were also very moved. To be fair, Anderson and others did achieve considerable achievements in the United States, and now they far exceed their status in the old time and space. This is because Anderson and others were all elites in the old time and space, and now the American society is also extremely open and suitable for the development of adventurers. If it were a loser, how much achievements could they achieve in a closed, conservative and backward country.

However, compared with the East China government, Anderson and others' achievements are far inferior. The current East China government can actually be regarded as a country, and can be on par with Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia and Japan. This also shows that at least in this era, it is quite difficult to wear alone. The East China government relies entirely on collective strength to develop to this point today.

Li Sanjie then said: "Mr. Anderson, how do you plan to cooperate with us."

At this time, the two sides had been talking for more than an hour. Anderson waited for Li Sanjie to say this, so he was excited and said, "We have already thought about the way of cooperation, which is divided into general cooperation and in-depth cooperation. Generally, cooperation is very simple. We have companies in the United States, and you are also developing foreign trade. We can cooperate completely. And now we have some channels in the United States, and you are originally the government, so you can conduct some transactions that are not suitable for the table. For example, you need machinery, equipment, technology, and we need arms and weapons. In the future, some advanced technology can be needed, which can be fully communicated. In other normal trades, we only hope to provide some convenient conditions."

Li Sanjie thought about it and thought that Anderson's proposal was acceptable to the East China government, after all, it was also beneficial to the East China government. However, he did not directly answer, saying: "So what kind of cooperation is in-depth cooperation?"

Anderson said: "That is mutual support. Although we have squeezed into the upper class of the United States, in the upper class, we can only be considered the bottom class, and we are far from reaching the ability to influence American politics and society. And at this level, it is very difficult to go further. In order to improve, we have to compete with consortiums. We are now threatened by several large consortiums, so we need the help of a powerful force. In this era, we can help us and have strong strength, only you."

After hearing this, Li Sanjie understood that in the old time and space, the lifeblood of the United States was controlled by a monopoly group composed of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs. They were usually composed of one or several families, and could also be called consortiums. In terms of personal wealth alone, the head of the consortium may not exceed individual rich people like Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Buffett, and Soros, but the overall wealth of the consortium is far greater than these individual rich people. After all, the property of the consortium is not the personal assets of the head of the consortium.

In this era, capitalism in Europe and the United States has developed to a monopoly stage. Four of the top ten American consortiums in the old time and space have officially formed at this time. They are: Rockefeller Consortium, Morgan Consortium, Boston Consortium, and Mellon Consortium; the other three have also formed the prototypes of consortiums, namely: DuPont Consortium, Cleveland Consortium, and the other three consortiums were formed by taking advantage of favorable conditions after World War II and the innovation of energy technology.

It can be said that the seven consortiums that have been formed and will have completely monopolized the economy, politics, science and technology, culture and other fields of the United States. Anderson and others can gather a large amount of wealth in the short term and squeeze into the upper class of the United States, but the foundation is too weak after all, and now they have basically touched the ceiling of development. If you want to go further, either accumulate technology with peace of mind, occupy the market, merge other companies, and expand your own wealth. However, this not only takes time, but also will inevitably be squeezed by competition from large consortiums in the process of development. What are some extraordinary means? After all, large consortiums will not compete fairly with you; or it will attract large consortiums to invest and participate in the large consortiums, which also poses a risk of being completely annexed by large consortiums. Even if they are not annexed by large consortiums, they have also become subordinates of large consortiums. Although they may still have a certain degree of autonomy, they are still subject to others.

Li Sanjie sank for a while before saying, "So what are the benefits of helping you to our East China government?"

Anderson said: "Of course, although in this era, the United States may not reach the height of the old time and space, the United States still has all the conditions to become a superpower. In terms of development potential, the United States is far superior to Britain and France. The only countries that can be compared with the United States are Russia and China. The current United States is still a developing country. The domestic political power has not yet taken shape and there are still many opportunities. Therefore, if you support us to squeeze into the top level in the United States, then you can gain a support force in the future American society. This is absolutely beneficial to you. Just like this Far East War, Russia has France as an ally, Japan has Britain as an ally, and only you are fighting alone. As a result, although you won the war, it is still not going well in this negotiation. Japan and Russia have refused to pay you war reparations, but if you have the support of the United States, the situation will be very different."

Li Sanjie said: "National interests do not have personal friendship. When the interests of the two countries conflict, how do you ensure China's interests? And how do you guarantee that if we support you to squeeze into the top level of the United States and support you to enter the Congress and the cabinet, what does it mean that after becoming the President of the United States, we will not kick us away."

Anderson said: "This issue is very good. First of all, in this era, China and the United States want to become a superpower, and first of all, it is necessary to break Britain's hegemony. Therefore, I don't think that before breaking Britain's hegemony, China and the United States will have structural contradictions. Even secondary contradictions, even contradictions like the dominance of the Pacific are not impossible to negotiate. In the old time and space, you didn't have a famous saying, 'The Pacific is big enough to accommodate two countries in China and the United States. At least for a long time, China and the United States have considerable space for cooperation, not confrontation. When China and the United States become superpowers, it is not too late to compete. In addition, while you help us, you can also develop your own power in the United States, and we will also provide you with certain help. In this way, even if we squeeze into the top level of the United States, you also have enough power in the United States, so there is no need to worry that we will kick you away."

Li Sanjie thought for a while and said, "Mr. Anderson, you were an American in the old time and space, and you were an agent of the CIA, so your loyalty to the United States must have been evaluated, but according to what you said just now, it can be considered a treason? I hope you know what explanation you have."

Anderson said: "You asked very well. My loyalty to the United States is unquestionable, but it is the United States of the old time and space. The United States of this era has no special meaning to me. Your mentality about me may be difficult to understand, because China is a country with a long history and can also be regarded as the only country in human history without cultural and local ethnic gaps. Therefore, you have very special feelings for your own country and nation. In your opinion, any era in Chinese history is your own country, but the dynasty is different. In this era, although you do not agree with the Qing Dynasty, you still regard China in this era as your motherland and treat this Chinese as your own compatriots."

"But the United States is a young country. Even in the old time and space, the United States has less than 300 years of history, which is even longer than a dynasty in China. Moreover, the United States is an immigrant country and does not have its own native nation. In the old time and space, I was an immigrant family. My grandfather was a Spanish. He immigrated to Argentina in the 1960s, and my father took me to immigrate to the United States in the 1990s. At that time, I was only 10 years old. Although I grew up in the United States, I also recognized it.

It is my motherland with the United States and is willing to fight for the interests of the United States, even sacrifice, but it is difficult for me to bring this feeling to this era, because the United States of this era is just a strange country to me, and this mentality is similar to when I first immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. Maybe 20 years later I will accept the United States of this era emotionally, but that is not the United States of the present. Now I can only fight for my personal future. The situation of other companions is similar. I don’t know if you can accept my explanation like this.”

Li Sanjie thought about it and said that Anderson's explanation was at least theoretically reasonable. Of course, I don't know whether it is true or false. However, whether to cooperate with Anderson is decided by the country, and Li Sanjie doesn't have to worry about it. Moreover, after obtaining so much information this time, I have gained a lot. Therefore, I said: "Okay, Mr. Anderson, I have understood what you mean. I will report it truthfully like the domestic one. As for whether to cooperate with you, it can only be decided by the country."

Anderson naturally understood this, so he said, "Okay, I'm waiting for your news."

Li Sanjie said: "So how can we contact each other."

Anderson said: "It's easy to do. I can leave a letter at the hotel's front desk. As long as you notify the front desk and let them remember my name, you can transfer all my letters to you."

Li Sanjie's heart moved and said, "Is Thomas Anderson your real name?"
