The Goddess Shines on America

In San Diego, California, the vast and warm sandy beaches are the most suitable for people to vacation, and today they attracted Alice and her little friends. As early as the early morning departure, Sissy was still struggling with which bikini to choose. Now at two o'clock in the afternoon, she was already wearing the one Alice chose, lying lazily on the beach chair and not wanting to move.

There are no more than two ways for young people to spend summer, avoiding the heat and enjoying the midsummer. San Diego's beaches are world-famous, and Orlando's SeaWorld and Seaport Village are also good places to visit. Alice is wearing sunglasses and looking around in the sun. Needless to say, those men and women who are dyeing their skin bronze, there are still gliders passing by in the sky.

"I don't even remember the last time I came to San Diego." Sissy said, "Alice, when was the last time you basked in the sun at the beach?"

"It can be traced back to the age of dinosaurs." Alice pursed her lips and said with a smile: "And Sissy, can you imagine that we are only 20 kilometers away from the Mexican border. Even less than 20 kilometers, such a short distance is Mexico's border. Tijuana!"

"Hmm...how about we go to Tijuana too?" Sissy adjusted her sunglasses and said, "Many citizens living on the border will go to Tijuana for a weekend trip, why don't we join in the fun tomorrow morning?"

A self-driving tour during the university summer vacation, this is Alice's suggestion after she came to find Sissy. As for the basic preparations, both of them were indeed wearing passports, but when it came to traveling across the border to Mexico, Alice inevitably hesitated.

"You should know that the environment in Tijuana is actually very ordinary, right? We can also eat authentic Mexican food in San Diego. Is it necessary to go around that dirty city? Although cross-border travel is really interesting, but we can't eat it here. Not the European Community."

As a native of California, Alice certainly has a deep understanding of neighboring Mexico since she was a child. Tijuana is close to the United States and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Mexico. The beautiful seaside scenery and perfect service facilities have attracted a large number of American tourists to the city for sightseeing and shopping, and the tourism industry has indeed achieved great development.

But it was a Mexican city after all. Not far from Santiago to the south, you can visit the starting point of the 3,000-kilometer border, which is known as "the first boundary marker on the Mexico-US border". The border between the two countries is separated by the tall and strong metal railings on the American side and the simple iron plates on the Mexican side. The starting point is tens of meters deep into the sea.

Along the border between the world's only superpower and a developing country on the other, the contrast is absolutely stunning. On one side, San Diego is full of high-rise buildings and swaying green trees, while on the other side, Tijuana’s buildings are messy, and not a single grass grows on the water-scarce land. The busy footsteps of people tell the world that this place is still working hard to develop.

As an ordinary citizen, it’s okay to come to Tijuana occasionally to experience exotic customs, especially for many middle- and lower-middle-class people, it’s not uncommon to see them pretending to be aggressive in Lao Mo’s territory. After all, they often meet in the company Being bullied by the boss. But after standing at the height of Alice, you have to look at the problem more profoundly.

Sissy also thought about it, and then said: "There are many processing plants of American companies in Tijuana, right? Do we have any business there?"

"Not yet, but it has been included in the plan." Alice said: "Spencer called a few days ago and said that due to labor costs, he was considering building an umbrella pharmaceutical factory in Mexico. Warner is a great place."

"Then what do you think?"

Ask Alice what she thinks, which is really a bit of asking her. For her, investing in Mexico is the same as investing in South Korea and Taiwan—she doesn't want to send money to these people if it is not necessary.

So until now, she has never extended her tentacles to these three regions.

Many Mexicans have entered the United States in various ways, and they can be seen everywhere in southern California, New Mexico and Texas. These people have indeed made great contributions to ensuring price stability, taking over half of the jobs of cashiers and dishwashers, but they have undoubtedly brought a lot of uneasiness.

Even without the recent investigation, Alice knew that at least 50% of the Mexicans in the southern United States could be related to gangs, and at least 50% of these gangs, large and small, could be related to drugs. Although from a capitalist's point of view, she should be happy to invest and build factories in Mexico to reduce costs, but considering her personal thoughts, she really doesn't want to "give money" to these people.

"I'm thinking about this..."

Taking a sip of the juice from Sissy, Alice said, "The labor cost in foreign countries is indeed very low, but if we entrepreneurs all do this, what will happen to the domestic occupational structure?"

Cici is now a top student in business administration at Harvard, and questions like this are her specialty: "Domestic factories close, blue-collar workers lose their jobs, and the national economy is highly concentrated in the knowledge-based?"

"That's right, after a long time, universities may even abolish technical majors and transform them into design majors. At that time, for example, we will have to hire engineers from foreign countries, while locals can only serve as design majors. division."

Engineers and designers certainly have areas where responsibilities overlap, but being two different words is enough for Alice to express her thoughts.

Sissy burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?"

"Heck... Don't you think it's funny that we, a French and a Chinese, are thinking about the jobs of 'traditional whites'?"

Alice was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Isn’t that right? When grandparents came to the United States, they followed the wave of migrant workers. They missed the period of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Isn’t that because Chinese laborers took all the jobs of native Americans. Furthermore, Mr. Lawrence took his daughter to live in the United States, first worked hard on Wall Street, and now runs DreamWorks. Isn’t it all about grabbing the jobs of the natives?

Although the promotion effect is definitely greater~

"It makes sense, it makes sense. The rural areas of the United States, especially those states in the Central Plains, are basically dominated by the Republican Party. Like Oklahoma, Christianity is prevalent and religious groups are everywhere. "Gary the Witch" and "The Exorcist" "It was shot for them to see. Remember the famous painting no, "American Gothic", these people don't care about the importance of economic globalization, as the actual victims... um..."

The current topic of discussion made Alice fully develop her imagination. Why can *** be president? Why did the UK's Brexit referendum pass? All because of the class that the current topic touches. This group of people usually looks very inconspicuous, but in the field of democratic politics where numbers are paramount, they will really stab at critical moments!

After thinking about it, Alice immediately informed Sissy of these two future prospects. Of course, she would not foolishly say ***, but the orientation of public opinion when running for the presidency. The European referendum also put forward assumptions, and did not directly point to Cameron's name.

"So you want to avoid this phenomenon economically?" Sissy started to use her brain: "Cisco has not yet established a factory in Taiwan, and the production is still in China, but Intel and Microsoft are different, and you can't let them Recover the investment. Here under the umbrella, the main pharmaceutical factories are still in European countries, and nothing has been built in Mexico and East Asia. This can indeed keep many people's jobs, but the labor cost can't go down."

Alice raised her hand and said disdainfully: "So I really despise Cook's actions. He can make money, with a cash reserve of 200 billion U.S. dollars! But damn it, he doesn't have my kind Huge and comprehensive consortiums, and they don’t intend to develop any money-burning black technology in the true sense, just filling more than 70 Olympic swimming pools, it’s useless!”

Sissy lowered her sunglasses and looked deeply at Alice: "Honey, who is Cook?"

"Uh..." Alice's expression froze for a moment: "Oh, a master student who just graduated from Duke University two years ago is working hard at IBM. I met him once, and the young man is quite eloquent."

"Isn't it your secret little lover?"

"Pfft... I'll wipe it! Where did you come from to think about it?"

"Don't get excited, you've sprayed juice on your belly, do you want me to lick it for you?"

"Well... it's not easy to play this kind of game in broad daylight. It's okay to wait until we go back to the room tonight. What, why don't we go to Tijuana to play tomorrow?"

Alice tried her best not to reveal her face, but she was really guilty. What does Sissy know? Probably don't know. Do you understand? Do not you know? Alice, it's not good to be suspicious, it will make you fall for it, calm down!

Now that tomorrow's itinerary has been set, Sissy's attention has been diverted. While Alice is relieved, she also has some small expectations. After all, she has never been to Mexico, so it's good to visit.

Moreover, Brody is currently leading a team to annihilate gangsters and fight against drug dealers. According to his posture of taking three hundred prisoners in his first attack, the safety of the two girls can still be guaranteed. What's more, Tijuana on the western coast is not El Paso like the battlefield in Afghanistan. There are so many citizens on weekend trips as shields. It's not their turn to be kidnapped, right?

"Then I'll make lunch reservations for tomorrow, beef tacos with rum on the rocks, work at the cabin bistro?"

There is really no doubt about the safety. Considering the problem of submarine and "commodity" transportation, Brody really started from Tijuana and marched all the way east to El Paso. Well, since he's been in Tijuana for a long time, wouldn't it be easy to inquire about a tavern with a safe environment, good quality and low price?

"Okay, but let's think about what to have for dinner first." Sissy put her sunglasses back in place: "I just took a course of soma last week, and it's time to whet my appetite."
