American Fortune Life

"This preparation weekend was originally intended to accompany Michelle and her daughters to find a farm vacation, but now the media is doing this, it's really a headache..."

In the Oval Office, when Andy agreed to join his economic advisory group, the chat atmosphere became more harmonious. Ao Guanhai held a coffee-colored beer bottle and raised his eyebrows with self-deprecating expressions.

"Haha." Andy shook his head and chuckled. He naturally knew that what Ao Guanhai was talking about was that the couple had a big dinner in New York and an extravagant trip to enjoy a Broadway opera. However, there was no Instead, he rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle in his heart: "It's not easy to find a farm vacation, my farm in Montana can definitely meet your requirements.

At that time, your family can taste the freshest ingredients, swim in the swimming pool, dominate the private lake and the Sun River, or play basketball and hunt on horseback. I believe the children will like it. "

"Is your BrokenO farm that covers an area of ​​124,000 acres?" Ao Guanhai's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked with interest.

"Hehe, it's 220,000 acres now. I bought all the surrounding land and connected all the land across the three counties." Andy raised his arm, took a sip of beer, and smiled lightly.

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in agricultural production. Do you want to be the largest farmer in the United States?" Ao Guanhai sighed in his heart, it's great to have money, a farm with such a large area is simply It is Andy's independent kingdom.

"Don't be kidding, I can't even make it into the top ten in terms of land ownership. The largest farmer in the United States already owns more than one million acres of land." Andy shook his head and laughed, and continued: "If you are sure to go, I will arrange for someone to prepare it and let the Secret Service personnel come over in advance, in fact, you can rest assured that I also put a security company there, and the safety is guaranteed."

"I shouldn't ask for rent." Ao Guanhai teased with a smile.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's definitely free, isn't this just to make your vacation easier without being criticized and questioned." Andy laughed, "However, you can take a few group photos by the way to help spread the word. Perfect ingredients for my farm."

"Haha, I knew that you are the richest man in the world, a business genius." Ao Guanhai laughed happily, but he did not reject Andy's thoughts. After all, it was a matter of mutual benefit. Besides, he was taking advantage of it. The one that is, just say a few more words and do a soft advertisement.

Andy didn't explain much, just smiled and faced Ao Guanhai's ridicule. He originally wanted to develop the tourism potential of the farm. Comparing tourism is very helpful for the farm's revenue, so naturally a similar publicity is needed. Although he can go into battle himself, there is really no more suitable candidate than President Ou Guanhai, whether it is for the American people or tourists from other countries, the creation of the president's sleep, the president's menu and play items, there is still a certain attraction. powerful.

After finishing the meeting with the President and walking out of the Oval Office, Andy smiled and nodded at the White House staff who greeted him along the way, and walked out of the White House gate. The waiting bodyguards quickly formed a protective formation, and one bodyguard walked down the steps quickly. He opened the door and stood by and waited.

"Thank you." Andy raised his mouth and said with a smile, then bent down and sat in the cool compartment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped the leather armrest with his fingers. of satisfaction.

The reason why he agreed to join Ao Guanhai's economic advisory group this time has long been considered. Ao Guanhai's invitation when he was first elected was more like distributing the fruits of victory. There are too many elements of thanks. Almost most of them are old guys from Wall Street. When he is a junior, he basically has no right to speak or influence.

But now it's different. Since Aoguanhai and Wall Street have torn their faces, the people in the economic advisory group have almost changed. At this time, Aoguanhai is in a period of distress.

At this time, when Andy joined again, he was undoubtedly able to reap the gratitude of Ao Guanhai, which improved the pass rate for him to propose some economic plans and measures beneficial to his industry in the future.

If he wants to make a lot of money, he is undoubtedly following the national policy. Now, he has the opportunity to participate in the formulation of the rules of the game. Naturally, he will not miss such an opportunity. At the same time, he can also use this opportunity to cultivate a group of talents. After all, he is cheap himself. Dad's ambition is to sit in the Oval Office. At that time, he needs a group of trusted talents. If no one is available at that time, and he seeks help from other forces, he may undoubtedly make wedding dresses for others and be used to death. . .

After leaving the White House, the motorcade drove into Capitol Hill again. Andy met and chatted with his grandfather, Old Smith. Since he decided to join the power center, he naturally needed to know some experience, precautions and taboos. He was not a stunner. Qing, I really thought I could do whatever I wanted.

Here in Washington, almost every decision is the product of compromise, and no one can act recklessly.

Therefore, when Andy left the old Smith's office, he left with a senior assistant, and the assistant named Schneider was brought out by the old Smith. He didn't know everything about Washington. It can be said to be the door clear.

The role of this assistant is to help Andy check whether some of the problems from Washington, the White House and some of the solutions he has made will cause big trouble. For example, the medical insurance reform proposed by Ao Guanhai is a difficult problem with huge resistance.

During the trip to Capitol Hill, Andy also got an inside message that the FCC will launch an antitrust investigation into Apple's decision to reject Google's voice application developed for the crazy phone.

Some time ago, U.S. regulators launched an investigation into the issue of serving on the boards of Google and Apple at the same time. After all, Google and Apple compete in some key markets, and one person serves as a director of both companies. No doubt, regulators have to be suspicious. The problem.

This time, Apple directly rejected the voice application developed by Google for the mobile phone, which undoubtedly means that Apple regards Google's software as a competitive threat to the voice service provided by the mobile phone. For a long time, AT\u0026T has exclusively provided voice services for crazy mobile phones in the United States, which has to make people suspect that there is an exclusive agreement in the cooperation between Apple and AT\u0026T, which is undoubtedly a monopoly.

In Washington, as a big business, who has no power?

So some senators have proposed and urged the administration to review exclusive handset distribution agreements between carriers and handset makers to assess how such agreements affect competition and choice in the marketplace.

The battle between Google and Apple has officially escalated!

Andy is also well aware of this. The key problem lies in Apple. Since returning to Apple, some of Jobs' behaviors and decisions have become more and more domineering, like a sphere of influence drawn with urine. The vicious dog, mercilessly bites every opponent who touches the boundary.

The reason why Apple is targeting Google is that Google has announced the development plan of its computer operating system, and when Google's operating system comes out in the second half of 2010, it will directly compete with Microsoft's Windows and Apple's OSX system.

To be honest, the more I work with Jobs, the more I hate him. Even though Andy knows he is terminally ill and won't have much time to live, he still hates him!

He is the smartest person in the world, and he is invincible. Once there is a disagreement, it must be the other party's mistake. He is always right and arrogant. Andy really doesn't have the slightest impression of him, although, Andy also admits him The talent and ability, is one of the greatest innovators, changing the way everyone sees the world, but, hate is hate!
