American Fortune Life

Chapter 1922: White House Economic Advisor

After seeing Aoguanhai again a few months later, Andy clearly noticed the exhaustion of Mr. President, but think about it, in the recent period of time, Aoguanhai's life has been quite sad.

In addition to a dispute between a black Harvard professor, Gates, and white police officer Crowley, which was caused by a suspected burglary, Okuanhai's inappropriate comments and participation not only caused racial winds that shake the country. , Still deep in the mire, unable to escape.

At the same time, Americans have had a heated debate about whether his $ 787 billion economic stimulus plan has worked. The purpose of implementing the plan is to help create job opportunities. As a result, the US unemployment rate has continued to rise significantly, the US economy is still in recession, and the support rate has fallen below 60% for the first time since taking office. The figure also shows that he has been in power for six months until the 20th. He is facing increasing pressure from public opinion.

Also, his plan to vigorously promote the reform of the health care system has been criticized by all parties and has great resistance.

It was because he and Michel sneaked away to New York for a luxurious dinner and enjoyed Broadway opera. They spent tens of thousands of dollars on taxpayers in one night. However, they were bombarded by all parties for the suffering of the people and wasted public money. , Was frantic. . .

Absolutely anxious!

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

To be honest, Au Guanhai was also full of depression. Originally, I hoped that Andy Smith would be able to represent Starbucks at the White House luncheon. The previous thought was good. I can talk about it at that time, but what I did n’t expect was that he did n’t Interested in participating in the White House luncheon, let ceo replace, there is no way, he can only take the time to meet with Andy.

Some people may question why, as the president of the United States, why care about Andy Smith so much? That is because Andy Smith is a famous supporter of his Olympian Sea, not only financially, but also public opinion, and more importantly, Andy Smith's own influence can bring great benefits to Aoguanhai. Such supporters will not be ignored by any politician.

"... the market is improving, and the financial system is no longer on the verge of collapse. The unemployment rate is now half of what I was when I took office six months ago. I stopped the deterioration of the recession and assisted Chrysler and General Motors. I did n’t lend a helping hand at that time, then the US economy would be “suffocated.” Why would they not see my efforts! ”

In the Oval Office, Ao Guanhai wrapped his arms and frowned, not complaining about Andy as an outsider, and continued to say, "We have saved tens of thousands of jobs! So, in the next step, we also plan to take back The original aid funding. "

Andy frowned, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and looked at Au Guanhai, smiling. "Some things can't be rushed. Withdrawing the original aid funds can only make the emerging US economy come back again." Low, I'm afraid Mr. President hasn't seen the latest IMF report?

As the unemployment rate in the United States has risen, the credit card default rate has risen for several months. It is expected that 14% of the US $ 1.16 billion in credit card loans this year will not be repaid. The credit card crisis, which has caused billions of dollars in losses for the US banking industry, is spreading across the Atlantic and spreading to Europe. Lending institutions in the UK and elsewhere in Europe are embracing a growing wave of consumer defaults.

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

"Damn!" Aoguanhai's face changed drastically, his fists fell, and he hit his desk with a frowning curse. He didn't doubt what Andy said, because Andy didn't need to use this. Things to deceive him.

"Also, the regulator closed six banks in Georgia and a small bank in New York in the previous two days. So far, the total number of banks closed in the United States this year has risen to 64 ..."

Andy retracted his gaze towards the ugly face of Okuankai, raised Erlang's legs, reached up to hold the coffee, leaned back, leaned back on the sofa, put the coffee cup by his mouth, and continued to say before drinking: "The dynasty is very important. Their two trillion foreign reserves can save the US economy, so don't do things that challenge the relationship between the United States and China. It would be very stupid to do that."

"Cough ..." Originally, there was still some agitated Okuanhai, and he couldn't help tearing the corners of his mouth. He coughed awkwardly, and sneered at the same time after staring at Andy, but only smiled at Okuanhai. A little helpless self-deprecating.

What's the buzzword these days?

The answer is "your behavior is really stupid." A few days ago, because he was a Harvard black professor, he offended the white police officer's Okuanhai. At that time, he was shocked to blame the police for "stupid behavior." It was obviously improper use of words. It became a buzzword.

In the past, he was always regarded as a savior by the media, but now the mud bodhisattva can't protect himself from the river, and he is caught in the mire of racial discrimination.

"Oh, in fact, you do n’t have to worry too much about this. It ’s a good solution. It ’s a misunderstanding. You just make peace and invite the two to the White House. You treat them and invite them to have a glass of beer. You can definitely shake hands and make peace, not only can it calm down the wind, but you also get other benefits. "

"Good idea! Damn, why didn't I think of this idea! I should have fired my staff ... Thank you, Andy, you helped me solve a big trouble!"

Ao Guanhai's eyes brightened, and he held a boxing on the left palm with his right hand, and thanked Andy with a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome, but no one thought that things would get bigger and worse. The media pushed Mr. President, the consumer, to make things a little deadlocked. Since you have been very close to the people, this solution is The simplest and most direct way, after all, the president is not everyone can see, I believe that both of them will give this face. "Andy raised an eyebrow with a smile.

"Oh, but you helped me solve a big problem, we should have a drink ..." Then, I took out two bottles of "White House Honey Beer" from the White House Distillery from the small refrigerator on the side, and opened it skillfully. , And handed a bottle to Andy.

"Ding!"

Touching the wine bottle by hand, Ao Guanhai smiled and held the bottle and rushed to Andy, and then took a sip, and leaned a bit on the couch opposite Andy, and said with some emotion: "Ah, there are some things that you really can't talk about ..."

"The United States is a free country. Everyone has the right to say what he wants to say. However, the president ’s words are always magnified by the media. There is no way. Who makes you popular and the people like you?" Also put down the coffee, took a sip of beer, smiled and patted the other side's fart.

"Haha ..." Ao Guanhai raised an eyebrow at Andy, deliberately brought out a triumphant laugh, drank a beer, and said to Andy: "Andy, I sincerely invite you 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 changing age! "

"Oh, I don't have that much time. Seriously, there are too many companies under management, and I am too busy to take care of it." Andy did not refuse directly as before, but shook his head with a smile and emotion.

"Relax, it won't delay you too much time, just send you a White House financial briefing, and then you can feedback your opinions or opinions, there will be no major issues, and all economic advisers will not get together for a meeting of."

Upon hearing Andy's words, Au Guanhai knew that there was a play, and he could not help but persuade with a relaxed tone of persuasion. To be honest, being able to pull Andy into his White House Economic Advisory Board was definitely a lot of good for him.

After hearing the White House financial briefing, Andy's eyes flickered inexplicably, and then he pretended to be silent for a moment, and finally shook his head and laughed: "Well, who makes us friends, I am your firm support Who are. "

"It's great. You are welcome to join us and have a drink to celebrate!" Au Guanhai smiled very happily, leaned forward, raised the bottle and touched Andy.

"Thank you, and I'm happy to work with Mr. President." Andy said with a bright smile and a raised bottle.
