American Fortune Life

Chapter 1922 White House Economic Advisor

Seeing Ao Guanhai again after a few months, Andy clearly noticed the exhaustion shown by Mr. President, but thinking about it, Ao Guanhai's life has been quite sad recently.

In addition to the dispute between the black professor Gates of Harvard University and the white police officer Crowley that caused an uproar due to a suspected burglary case, Ao Guanhai's untimely speech and participation not only caused a racial storm that shocked the country. , still stuck in the quagmire, unable to get out.

Meanwhile, Americans are debating whether his $787 billion stimulus plan is having an effect. The purpose of implementing the plan is to help create job opportunities. As a result, the unemployment rate in the United States continues to rise sharply, the U.S. economy is still in recession, and the approval rate has dropped below 60% for the first time since taking office. The figure also shows that he has been in power for half a year until the 20th, and he is facing increasing pressure from public opinion.

In addition, his plan to vigorously promote the reform of the health care system has been criticized by all parties, and there is huge resistance.

It is because he and Michelle went to New York to have a luxurious dinner and enjoy a Broadway opera. They spent tens of thousands of dollars on taxpayers in one night. As a result, they were bombarded by all parties for ignoring the sufferings of the people and wasting public funds. The issue of birth was once again revealed , was heated up by all parties. . .

Absolutely devastated!

Andy didn't want to meet him at first, and Andy was really worried that bad luck would be contagious. . .

To be honest, Ao Guanhai was also full of depression. Originally, he hoped that Andy Smith could represent Starbucks to attend the White House luncheon. He thought it was a good idea, and we could talk about it at that time, but unexpectedly, he did not Interested in attending the White House luncheon, let the CEO replace him. He has no choice but to spare time to meet with Andy.

Some people may question why, as the president of the United States, why should he care so much about Andy Smith? That is because Andy Smith is a well-known supporter of Ao Guanhai, not only in terms of financial resources, but also in public opinion. Andy Smith's own influence can bring huge benefits to Ao Guanhai. No politician will ignore this kind of supporter.

"...the market is improving and the financial system is no longer on the verge of collapse. Unemployment is now half what it was when I took office six months ago. I stopped the recession from getting worse, I bailed out Chrysler and General Motors, and if If I didn't lend a helping hand at that time, the American economy would be "ravaged". Why couldn't they see my efforts!"

In the Oval Office, Ao Guanhai folded his arms, frowned, and continued to complain without treating Andy as an outsider: "We have saved the jobs of thousands of people! So, in the next step, we also plan to take back original aid money."

Andy frowned slightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Ao Guanhai, and couldn't help but smile: "There are some things that should not be rushed. Withdrawing the original aid funds can only make the US economy, which has just started to improve, return again. Low, I am afraid Mr. President has not seen the latest report of the International Monetary Fund, right?

Credit card defaults have risen for months amid rising unemployment in the US, with 14 per cent of the £1.16 billion credit card borrowing in the US expected to go unpaid this year. And the credit card crisis, which has already cost U.S. banks billions of dollars in losses, is spreading across the Atlantic and into Europe, where lenders in the U.K. and elsewhere are bracing for a wave of intensifying consumer defaults.

In other words, if the credit card crisis is not properly dealt with, the world financial system will face the risk of collapse again. Mr. President, you are withdrawing the aid funds now, which is undoubtedly completing a fatal blow to many banks. "

"Damn it!" Ao Guanhai's complexion changed drastically, his fist fell, and he hit the desk, cursing in a frowning manner. He didn't doubt what Andy said, because Andy didn't need to use this kind of things to deceive him.

"Also, regulators closed six more banks in Georgia and a small bank in New York two days ago.

So far, the total number of bank failures in the United States this year has risen to 64. . . "

Andy withdrew his gaze from Ao Guanhai with an ugly expression, raised his legs, reached out to pick up the coffee, leaned back, relaxed on the sofa, put the coffee cup to his mouth, and continued lightly before drinking: "The Celestial Empire is very important. Their 2 trillion foreign reserves can save the US economy, so don't do anything to challenge the relationship between China and the United States. It will be very stupid to do so."

"Ahem..." Ao Guanhai, who was still a little anxious at first, couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed twice in embarrassment, and after looking at Andy, he chuckled at the same time, but Ao Guanhai's smile A little helpless self-deprecating.

What's the latest buzzword?

The answer is "You are acting really stupid". A few days ago, Ao Guanhai, who offended the white policeman because he supported a black professor at Harvard, accused the policeman of "behavior stupidly" in an eloquent manner. became a buzzword.

In the past, he was always praised by the media as the savior, but now the mud bodhisattva crosses the river and cannot protect himself, and is deeply mired in the quagmire of racial discrimination.

"Hehe, actually, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. The matter is easy to resolve. It was a misunderstanding. You just act as a peacemaker and invite the two into the White House. You treat them to a glass of beer. Absolutely shaking hands and making peace will not only calm the turmoil in this matter, but also gain other benefits."

"Great idea! Damn, why didn't I think of this idea! I should have fired all my staff... Thank you, Andy, for helping me solve a big problem!"

Ao Guanhai's eyes lit up, he clenched his right fist and hit his left palm, and thanked Andy with a smile as if he was relieved.

"You're welcome, it's just that no one thought that the matter would become more and more troublesome. Mr. President, who was fueled by the media, made things a bit stalemate. Since you have always been very close to the people, then this solution is The most simple and direct way, after all, not everyone can see the president, I believe both of them will give this face." Andy raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Hehe, you helped me solve a big problem. We should have a drink..." As he spoke, he took out two bottles of 'White House Honey Beer' produced by White House Winery from the small refrigerator beside him, and skillfully opened them , handed Andy a bottle.

"Ding!"

Touching the wine bottle casually, Ao Guanhai held up the wine bottle with a smile and gestured to Andy, and after taking a sip, he sat on the couch opposite Andy in a somewhat unfocused manner, and said with some emotion: "Hey, there are some things that really shouldn't be said indiscriminately..."

"The United States is a free country. Everyone has the right to say what he wants to say. However, the president's words will always be infinitely magnified by the media. There is no way. Who makes you popular? Do the people like you?" Andy He also put down his coffee, took a sip of beer, smiled and patted each other's flattery.

"Haha..." Ao Guanhai raised his eyebrows at Andy, intentionally brought out a smug laugh, took a sip of beer, and said to Andy: "Andy, I sincerely invite you to join us again My economic advisory group, I hope to use your youth and genius to bring me some different ideas and methods, they are too old to keep up with this ever-changing era!"

"Hehe, I don't have that much time. To be honest, I manage too many companies, and I'm too busy to take care of it." Andy didn't directly refuse as before, but shook his head with a smile and sighed.

"Don't worry, I won't take too much time for you. I will just send you a White House financial briefing. Then you can give your feedback or opinions. It's no big deal, and I won't bring all the economic advisers together for a meeting. of."

As soon as he heard Andy's words, Ao Guanhai knew there was something going on, and he couldn't help persuading him with a relaxed tone of smile. To be honest, being able to pull Andy into his White House economic advisory group would definitely benefit him a lot.

Hearing the White House financial briefing, Andy's eyes flickered imperceptibly, then he pretended to be silent for a while, and finally shook his head and laughed: "Well, who made us friends, and I am your firm support who."

"Great, you are welcome to join, come, have a drink to celebrate!" Ao Guanhai smiled happily, leaned forward, raised the bottle and touched Andy and said.

"Thank you, and I'm glad to be working with Mr. President." Andy said with the same bright smile, raising the bottle.
