In addition to Clinton and Al Gore, the two presidential and vice presidential couples, as well as the justices and others, there are only some US senators and cabinet members, as well as important people like Fang Chen and Bill Gates, who were invited to watch the ceremony.

There were only about two or three hundred people, and among a group of people who bowed their heads and prayed, Fang Chen's existence with his head held high and his eyes looking forward to it was particularly eye-catching, if he didn't know, he thought that Fang Chen was a tourist who came to visit.

After the tedious morning prayer ceremony, Fang Chen followed the group back to the east porch of the Capitol, and then watched with a blank face as Clinton pressed his hand on the Bible and swore loudly to the people: "I solemnly swear that I will faithfully perform the office of President of the United States and do my utmost to observe, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States." ”

As soon as Clinton finished speaking, there was a burst of eager cheers from the audience, and these American people excitedly put their hats, national flags, and colored scarves one by one...... Wait, all the objects in his hands were thrown into the sky, his face was red with excitement, his neck was thick, and even the green tendons were crit, which made Fang Chen a little worried about whether he would faint in the next moment.

"Fang, aren't you happy about Clinton's election?" Bill Gates couldn't help but ask in surprise when he looked at Fang Chen's appearance of staying out of the matter, everyone was drunk and sober.

Although Fang Chen is not an American, when it comes to the degree of close relations with Clinton, it is far above these ordinary Americans, and he himself cannot say how much benefit Clinton's election can bring to Fang Chen, but there must be many, many more.

He even felt that if Fang Chen was willing to become an American citizen, Clinton would not be stingy with the title of ambassador to a foreign country.

U.S. ambassadors abroad are a very good profession, advocacy, defenders, and evangelists of America's strength.

In the United States, there are often some rich people who have been addicted to ambassadors, after all, even if they become ambassadors abroad, their businesses will still operate normally, and even get some benefits in their home countries because of their status as ambassadors abroad.

After all, an ambassador is the highest-ranking representative of a country abroad, and although this position is only ceremonial, its treatment is not trivial, and it must be sent by one head of state and accepted by another head of state personally.

In accordance with the instructions of his or her country, the Ambassador may at any time request an audience with the Head of State in which he or she is accredited.

As the representative of the world's only superpower, the US ambassador is even more powerful in the host country, not only on an equal footing with local ministerial-level officials, but also often as a guest at the head of the host country. In a small country, even the president has to give him three points.

In some countries, it's like the Emperor.

Because the ambassador does not participate in the formulation of national policies and foreign policies, he can only follow domestic instructions, and there are a large number of well-trained and experienced diplomats in the embassy who can be sent and consulted, so being a US ambassador does not require professional knowledge, as long as he looks a decent person, he can do this important task.

Because ambassadors don't have to worry about labor, but they are beautiful, ambassadors in the United States are a very honorable job that everyone wants to be.

It is precisely because of this that many wealthy people in the United States who have no worries about food and clothing but show their faces are very yearning for this beauty difference.

Moreover, in the United States, the ambassador and the president advance and retreat together, and the president 'envoys' at one time.

At the end of the president's term, the ambassadors he appointed must also be laid off, and the new president reappoints ambassadors to fill the vacancies, and the constitution stipulates that the appointment of ambassadors must be nominated by the president and formally approved by the Senate.

When the president nominates an ambassador, the factors that influence his decision are: "Is this man an old friend? Did he really help me when I ran for president?"

In short, they are rewarded based on their relationship with them and their contribution to the presidential campaign. It has become customary for anyone from any party to come to power to follow the rules in order to repay their main supporters and old friends.

Even opposition senators have a keen eye on the issue of the ambassador's approval, and they will not let him go without getting in the way. Therefore, the president actually has full authority in the appointment of ambassadors abroad.

But because of the popularity of ambassadors abroad, incumbent presidents are usually faced with thousands of applications.

For example, after the previous president Bush Sr. took office, his new friends and political supporters came to his door one after another, and Mao recommended himself to be ambassador to a foreign country.

Howard Leach, a San Francisco banker and former chairman of the Treasury Committee of the Republican National Committee, donated $280,000 to Bush and others in the Republican Party during the campaign, so he became ambassador to France.

Will Felish, an old friend of the Bush family and a rancher, considered himself to have an iron relationship with the president's family and became ambassador to Britain.

However, there are only about 160 US embassies abroad, and there are really too many monks and too few people, and applicants can only be appointed by comparing their contributions, relationships, and seniority.

And there is a very bad thing, because the president wants to try his best to arrange positions for his supporters, which will greatly reduce the proportion of career diplomats, and it is also a kind of blockade for those career diplomats to be promoted.

In addition, US ambassadors to foreign countries are all held by some laymen, so naturally there are a lot of jokes and even big troubles, so these US presidents have restrained themselves a little and set aside one-third of the ambassador posts for themselves.

Generally speaking, career diplomats can only serve as ambassadors to small or less important countries, and those who have contributed to presidential campaigns are reluctant to serve as ambassadors in Latin America, Africa, and Asian countries, and these vacancies are often rewarded to career diplomats.

And ambassadors to European and Caribbean island countries, as well as to China, Russia and other large countries, are regarded as poor and often left to the president's patron.

And with Fang Chen's contribution to Clinton, it is very likely that Fang Chen will serve as ambassador to China, which can be regarded as a thousand dollars.

However, at the beginning, it will definitely not be the ambassador of Huaxia, but to go to other places to make a transition first, so that Fang Chen can familiarize himself with the business of the ambassador.

After all, a big country like China is still very important, and you can't just take office if you don't understand anything, once something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

Thinking of this, a trace of inexplicable smile flashed on the corner of Bill Gates's mouth, making Fang Chen, the former richest man in China, an American, and serving as the US ambassador to China, must be a very interesting thing.

Thinking of Fang Chen's bloody head being scolded by the Chinese people, Bill Gates suddenly felt that the resentment of being bullied by Fang Chen a few days ago couldn't help but dissipate a lot.

Of course, whether Clinton is willing to give or not, and whether Fang Chen is willing to accept this so-called ambassador is another matter.

And in addition to the benefits of ambassadorship, if Fang Chen's company is willing to move to the United States, Clinton will also give a lot of tax incentives and land incentives.

All in all, the president of the United States has a myriad of resources at his disposal, and he will certainly not be stingy with his supporters.

After all, if they are stingy with their supporters, and they want to run for president next time, who will support them?

And once these rich people are evil, then even if the president retires, he will not be able to exert the influence he should have.

But for most of the day today, he felt that Fang Chen's attitude towards Clinton's election was almost indifferent, as if he had something to do with him.

"I'm happy, Clinton can be elected president, and I'm naturally happy for him. Fang Chen looked at the cheering American people in the audience and said absent-mindedly perfunctorily.

Hearing Fang Chen's perfunctory answer, Bill Gates couldn't help but roll his eyes and twist his head, he really didn't bother to take care of Fang Chen.

But after dozens of breaths, seeing that Fang Chen was still staring below, Bill Gates couldn't help but ask, "Fang, what are you looking at?"

The corners of Fang Chen's mouth twitched, "I'm looking at a powerful United States." ”

At this time, the United States was prosperous economically, technologically, and culturally, almost reaching the peak of history.

After all, the old rival Soviet had been dismembered by it, and the East and Germany had been beaten hard by the Plaza Accord, so they could only honestly prostrate on the ground and kiss the toes of the United States.

The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, which dragged the United States into the quagmire, have not yet begun, and as for the existence of China, which is regarded as the greatest threat by the United States in later generations, it is now completely ignored by the United States.

It can even be said that the United States at this time is the blue star under people's feet, which has never appeared, and is truly the hegemon across the world.

"Okay. ”

Bill Gates shrugged his shoulders and was speechless for a while.

As everyone knows, Fang Chen saw China and the Chinese people through these powerful, proud and proud Americans.

The great country and the great nation he loved so much were poor and even backward compared to the United States at this very moment.

However, the most important thing is that these hard-working Chinese people are confused in their hearts, and they do not know whether Huaxia can regain the peak of the world, reproduce the grand scene of the coming dynasty of all nations, and once again become the most powerful country and nation on this planet.

The hearts of the Chinese people are proud, the inheritance of thousands of years of civilization, thousands of years of advanced beyond other civilizations, so that they can not tolerate that they are not the first, let alone so poor and backward.

But the good thing is that now Huaxia has found the right path.

However, the cheers reached a climax again as Clinton came to the podium, and almost everyone was shouting hoarsely, and the sound shook the earth and boiled loudly.

And Bill Gates and others also pricked up their ears and looked at Clinton intently.

Next, Clinton will give a speech as usual, and in this speech, Clinton will expound on his policy program for the next few years, which is undoubtedly of great importance to these entrepreneurs, and can even be said to be an important review of their achievements.

Let them see if their money has been wasted.

Clinton pressed it several times, and then the excitement of the crowd was suppressed.

"Today, we celebrate the extraordinary wonder of revitalizing America. ”

"Spring has returned to the world's oldest democracy, and it has given us the vision and courage to reshape America. Clinton said softly.

Hearing this, Fang Chen pursed his lips with some disdain in his heart.

With his poor historical knowledge, he also knows that the words "the oldest democracy in the world" have nothing to do with the United States.

"When our founders boldly proclaimed America's independence to the world, our purpose to God, they knew that for America to last, it had to be reformed. We are not reforming for the sake of reform, but for the sake of maintaining the American ideal—life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. ”

......

"When George Washington first made the oath I had just sworn to keep, the news slowly spread across the continent on horseback and across the oceans by boat. Today, the sights and sounds of this ritual can be broadcast to billions of people around the world in an instant. ”

Hearing this, Fang Chen and Bill Gates suddenly had a thrill, and the whole person instantly woke up a lot, and looked at Clinton intently, the main drama was finally coming.

"Communications and business are global, investment is liquid, technology is almost mysterious, and the strong desire to improve lives is shared by people all over the world, so we have to embrace business, embrace communications, so I came up with the National Information Infrastructure Action Plan. ”

"We have built an information superhighway throughout the United States that connects all parts of the country, that is, an interconnected and ubiquitous information network composed of communication networks, computers, information resources, user information equipment and people, through which we provide access ...... for everyone and the information equipment they use."

With Clinton's passionate speech, he kept drawing a big pie towards everyone, and Bill Gates and Fang Chen couldn't help but show a bright smile on their faces, and the general trend was decided.

For Bill Gates, the National Information Infrastructure Initiative will greatly expand the information network and expand the influence that personal computers can play.

And the more things that the personal computer can do, then it will naturally increase people's enthusiasm for buying the personal computer, and then buy its operating system and office software.

This is a very significant positive for Microsoft.

Even, he can already foresee what a huge figure Microsoft's shares will rise today, with the stock price rising by 20%, 30%, or even more, he is not surprised.

For Fang Chen, although the benefits are not as great and obvious as Bill Gates, the United States, as the most powerful country in the world, will cause huge shocks to the world with its every move.

It can be said that with the vigorous development of communication infrastructure in the United States, the vigorous development of communication infrastructure in all countries in the world will naturally be on the agenda, and funds and various resources will be tilted towards communication infrastructure.

As a communication company, if it is well controlled, it will definitely usher in rapid development, adding a vast territory to its business empire and bringing huge benefits.

However, the most important thing is that Fang Chen's butterfly wings did not change the world too much.
