Chapter 1241 Our rules are the rules of the world

   After attending the inauguration ceremony of the Great Commander, Xia Jingxing and Kristina were not in a hurry to leave Washington DC.

   They stayed in the city for three days, which was a holiday for themselves, and visited all the surrounding attractions, and finally waited for the private dinner of the Ao Guanhai couple.

  Under a huge crystal chandelier in a dining room of the White House, there are four sets of silver gleaming tableware on a long wooden table, and each of the four plates contains a piece of fried steak.

   What about the state banquet?

   Just eat this?

  Xia Jingxing was very unhappy in his heart, Ao Guanhai and his wife were too stingy, why did they spend a little of their own money?

  Because he and Kristina are not politicians of a certain country, Aoguanhai’s banquet for the two of them is a private banquet.

Ao Guanhai, who was sitting opposite Xia Jingxing, ate a few mouthfuls of steak, then slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin, and held up the red wine glass on the table, "Daren, Christina, let's celebrate together, Thank God we met and became good friends."

  Xia Jingxing and Kristina raised their glasses one after another, clinking glasses with Ao Guanhai and his wife, and then raised their heads and took a sip of red wine.

   As soon as the drink entered, Xia Jingxing knew that it was not some expensive red wine, didn't Michelle buy it from the supermarket in the block outside the White House?

  Ao Guanhai said with a smile: "Daren, Kristina, today is a private dinner. There are only four of us present, so there is no need to be afraid of many things, you can say them directly."

  Xia Jingxing and Kristina smiled at each other, and both nodded to Ao Guanhai.

   "I am relatively unlucky. Commander Xiaobu has left me with such a big mess. If it is not resolved well, I may become the worst commander in history."

   In order to let Xia Jingxing and the two let go a little bit, Ao Guanhai teased his ex very humorously.

  Xia Jingxing smiled when he heard the words: "You will definitely not be the worst commander, with Mr. Hoover in front, behind... No one can tell exactly what the situation is.

Eighty years ago, Mr. Hoover was elected as the 31st commander in chief. When he was sworn in, he said that he wanted to ensure the prosperity of the people, that is, to put a chicken on everyone's table, which resulted in the Great Depression. .

   Mr. Roosevelt took over his mess, promulgated the New Deal, restored the economy, and led the United States to win World War II, making the United States the most powerful country in the world in one fell swoop.

   To be precise, Barack, you are not out of luck, on the contrary, there is a perfect opportunity in front of you. "

  Ao Guanhai smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that could speak for black toothpaste, "Daren, you are always so humorous!"

  Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "I like to use the most humorous words to tell the most serious issues."

Ao Guanhai shook his head, and then let out a long sigh, "Daren, the current situation cannot be compared with that of 80 years ago. The international situation, industrial structure, foreign trade export, etc. that the United States is facing today is different from that of 80 years ago. It's all different."

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, in fact, what Ao Guanhai said was right, what he said just now was just to liven up the atmosphere.

  The New Deal promulgated by Roosevelt, in general terms, includes rectifying finance, expanding demand, regulating industrial and agricultural production, vigorously promoting the social welfare system, restraining the rich and easing class conflicts.

   In comparison, we can see the great changes in the United States in the past 80 years.

  80 years ago, the United States did not have any petrodollar bundling system, and now the US financial sickle is quite slippery;

At the same time, 80 years ago, the United States had the largest manufacturing industry in the world, and it single-handedly supported all allied countries to eat, drink and fight, but now the United States has a serious hollowing out of the manufacturing industry, and a large number of low-end and middle-end manufacturing industries have been transferred. , the proportion of service industry GDP has increased significantly;

   As for the implementation of the welfare system, the suppression of the rich, and the alleviation of class conflicts, it is simply impossible to replicate.

  The times have changed, Eagle sauce is running all the way down the evil road, the kind that ten horses can't pull back.

   Earning quick money is addictive. Who wants to work hard to produce goods and harvest the world?

   As for Aoguanhai, he couldn't turn the direction of the big ship that was rushing towards the whirlpool. All he could do was to repair and repair the big ship to prevent the water from leaking too badly and flooding his own people.

  O Guanhai said: "Daren, let's talk about clean energy and environmental protection.

  The Air Resources Board, a unit of the California Environmental Protection Agency, has issued exhaust emission standards and test procedures for passenger cars, light trucks and medium-sized vehicles in the form of state regulations since 1990. It is the first state government in the United States to manage vehicle exhaust emissions.

  Last year, California promulgated the latest zero-emission vehicle ZeroEmissionVechile program, referred to as the ZEV program.

The   ZEV Act established a "points" factor for each vehicle, setting a benchmark for points linked to sales.

   At the same time, it is also clearly stipulated that car companies whose sales in California exceed a certain amount must produce a certain proportion of zero-emission vehicles.

  If the ratio required by the plan is not met, car companies must pay a fine of $5,000 per vehicle to the California Air Resources Board, or buy carbon credits from other companies. "

  Xia Jingxing listened patiently, this is the famous carbon credit bill.

  Tesla in the previous life has been questioned for a long time that it is not a car company, but a company that makes money by selling carbon credits. The argument stems from this.

  For example, GM is a big customer who buys Tesla carbon credits. Since it cannot meet the requirements of the ZEV Act, it can only buy from Tesla, a company that manufactures all new energy vehicles and has excess carbon credits.

  O Guanhai continued: "The ZEV plan will be officially implemented in California starting this year.

   The pilot is only in California for the time being. If the effect is good, it will be gradually extended to other states.

   The ultimate purpose of this bill is not to make which car company profit and which car company to lose.

   Instead, it is hoped that in this way, the air quality in California will be significantly improved, and the demand for fuel for cars will be gradually reduced to ensure energy security. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, the implementation goal of the ZEV program in California in the previous life has basically been achieved, not only has Tesla raised the new energy behemoth, but also made California the state with the number one sales of new energy vehicles in the United States.

   In the process of developing new energy vehicles, relevant Chinese departments have also borrowed a lot from the California ZEV scheme.

   "Need something from Tesla?"

  Xia Jingxing didn't hide it anymore, Ao Guanhai made it clear that he wanted to use Tesla to gain political achievements for himself.

   If you want Tesla to work with you, do you have to pay for something affordable?

  Ao Guanhai smiled lightly: "This involves another of my governing policies. I hope that the United States will implement "re-industrialization" and "return of manufacturing" as soon as possible.

   Now we have a large amount of manufacturing flowing into China, which is not a good thing for the future of the United States. "

   Hearing Ao Guanhai's words, Kristina panicked, and the knife and fork in her hand almost fell on the table.

   She glanced at Xia Jingxing worriedly, if the answer to this question is not good, there may be big trouble.

   Michelle and her husband Ao Guanhai also looked at Xia Jingxing with bright eyes, wanting to see how he would react.

  Xia Jingxing's psychological quality is very good, only a little surprised on his face, he quickly replied: "The flow into China is all low-end manufacturing, the kind that the United States does not look down on, and it is very polluting to the environment.

   In many factories in China, workers earn less than three hundred dollars a month.

   Such cheap labor can naturally produce cheap goods, which are then exported to countries all over the world.

   China's participation in the world trade system, opening up a huge market of more than one billion people to the world, and then producing hundreds of millions of cheap goods with its industrious hands, has actually made an outstanding contribution to the world economy.

   Now, the ideal of one billion Chinese people is to live a Latin American life, become a middle-income country, eliminate internal poverty, and provide food and clothing for everyone.

  I think these are reasonable and reasonable demands, and they do not harm the interests of all countries in the world.

   In some backward areas of China, there are still a large number of people who cannot eat enough.

   They eat potatoes three times a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, no rice, no bread, and no meat, only potatoes. "

Hearing this, Michelle showed a black question mark face and asked, "There are still such backward areas in China? But how can I hear that Chinese people are buying and buying all over the world, and they are buying Japanese electrical appliances stores, French fragrances, etc. The luxury shops on the Elysees are all sold out?"

Xia Jingxing smiled and shook his head, "Those who are able to go abroad may account for less than 1% of China's total population, but after all, there are millions of people, so it has created a kind of wealthy China for people all over the world. illusion.

   In fact, it is not the case. There are still a large number of people in China who do not have enough food and clothing, and cannot even meet the most basic needs of human life.

  Xiaokang is a concept put forward about 3,000 years ago during the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, which refers to the satisfaction of low-level physiological needs and safety needs.

   This dream that everyone can eat and wear warm clothes has been pursued by the Chinese for 3,000 years and has not been fulfilled.

   Today, modern science and technology have improved productivity, and China may have a chance to realize this dream. The goal is to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way around 2020, which is roughly equal to that of a middle-income country. "

  Michelle nodded earnestly, and then continued to ask: "Then what you said about eating potatoes every day is true?"

   "Of course it's true, and it happened in my hometown of Sichuan Province, where we have a minority autonomous prefecture..."

   Listening to Xia Jingxing's story that a large number of children actually had to walk for hours on the cliff mountain road to go to school, Michelle covered her mouth with a look of disbelief.

   "Barack, when we visit China, we must visit Darren's hometown."

  Michelle didn't seem to believe what Xia Jingxing said. She felt that the place Xia Jingxing described was too similar to her and her husband's home in Africa, which was like the home of pandas.

Ao Guanhai first nodded to his wife, expressing his agreement to visit Sichuan and Sichuan in China, then he turned his attention to Xia Jingxing and said with a serious expression: "Da Lun, although China is still a developing country, its population , Its size is determined, and it has a good chance to become a pole of the world."

  Xia Jingxing listened with a calm expression, but his mind was running fast.

   It seems that Ao Guanhai is very wary of China's rise.

   When Aoguanhai visited China in his previous life, he proposed the G2 plan. In short, China does low-end manufacturing, while the United States masters high-end technology.

   There is no doubt that this plan of Americans eating meat and Chinese only drinking soup was directly rejected.

   Japan and the Red Empire have all crossed the road for rabbits. Who dares to follow the prescription prescribed by Yingjiang?

  O Guanhai suddenly changed the subject: "However, the Chinese people's pursuit and yearning for a better life must not threaten the national security interests of the United States.

  America First is a rule that everyone on this planet must abide by!

  Our rules are the rules of the world! "
