Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Power of Public Opinion (2-in-1 Chapter)

It snowed heavily for a whole day, and the whole of New York became a white world, and standing on the top floor of the Empire State Building and looking around, Central Park and Lady Liberty seemed to be extraordinarily beautiful.

A luxurious apartment on the 88th floor, with a moderate temperature permeating the room, is as pleasant as spring despite the snow outside.

“NO......”

Suddenly, Avril was covered in red, and she screamed.

But because the center of gravity was detached from the gravitational pull of the earth, she could only instinctively hug Shen Jiannan's neck.

Shen Jiannan didn't care about this, stepped on the white and warm cashmere carpet, and hugged Avril Lavigne, who might not even be eighty pounds, to the transparent glass.

"My dear. Do you think it's beautiful?"

Beauty.

It's just beautiful.

Although this is not the first time she has climbed the Empire State Building to enjoy the snow, Avril has never seen New York as she does now.

Central Park is wrapped in white and reflects a layer of silver in the sunlight, which is so beautiful that it makes the heart tremble.

Avril lightly opened her red lips: "Hmm...... It's beautiful. ”

"I mean, beauty?"

Beauty.

Not beautiful beauty.

It's the beauty of beauty.

Although Avril can understand Chinese, her understanding of Chinese is too shallow to truly understand the breadth and profundity of the Chinese language.

Her misty eyes blinked, revealing a little doubt.

But then, Avril's small mouth instantly opened to the limit, and as her skin pressed against the somewhat cold glass, she instinctively glanced down, and this time, the instinctive fear of the sky and the cold made her muscles contract together in an instant.

It was at this time that Avril tasted what Shen Jiannan meant by beauty.

Beauty.

It's really beautiful.

Enjoying such a beautiful scenery in the middle of winter broke Avril's heart, and she knew for the first time that there was such a beautiful scenery in the world.

After a while, the sound of whimpering echoed throughout the room......

Long.

Avril fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Jiannan took a shower and changed his coat, gently brushed Avril's hair, helped her cover the blanket and went out.

In the hall, Tang Dunhou and his party were playing poker.

Seeing Shen Jiannan coming over, he glanced at a few guys in suits not far away.

It was someone sent by the Morgan family, but I don't know why, these people were like robots, watching Tang Dunhou and his gang play cards with cold eyes, neither leaving nor talking.

Shen Jiannan knew that old Morgan was waiting for him to show value, and he accepted his relationship with Avril.

As for whether they can really get married, it depends on the chips they can take out in this election.

To be honest, Shen Jiannan hates this kind of marriage.

It made him feel like a duck who had to eat on a woman's thigh.

But since ancient times, nobles from all countries have been married to each other to integrate and bundle interests, and in this game, no one can break this shackle.

But there is one thing to say.

The exchange of marriage and bundle benefits is indeed disgusting, but it is indeed the most reliable alliance.

Ignoring the people sent by Morgan, Shen Jiannan walked out of the room with Tang Dunhou and his party, with the people sent by Morgan here, the whole United States does not have to worry about Avril's safety.

It took ten minutes for the group to arrive at News Corp.'s headquarters in Manhattan.

Rupert Murdoch, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled enthusiastically and gave Shen Jiannan a big hug.

"Shen, long time no see. ”

Shen Jiannan also smiled enthusiastically and politely hugged Murdoch: "Oh." Rupert, long time no see, you look good. ”

"Yes, I've been so busy with Asian affairs lately that I haven't had a good rest for a long time. ”

"Oh. It looks like you need a lover who understands you and can take care of you. ”

"Haha—I think so too. ”

"Haha. ”

With a hypocritical courtesy, the two entered Murdoch's office together.

A secretary prepared coffee and brought it in, and when Shen Jiannan drank a cup to warm up, Rupert asked, "Shen." What is it that makes you so important that I need to go back to Manhattan and make a trip myself? ”

"Rupert. What do you think about this election?"

When it comes to Murdoch's identity, how can he not pay attention to the competition in the general election, he heard that Shen Jiannan had something to say, but he did not rush to ask rhetorically.

"There shouldn't be any suspense. With the Republican Party ending the half-century-long Cold War, freeing the world from the shadow of the nuclear crisis, and winning a resounding victory in Iraq, I don't think anyone can defeat Bush. ”

Shen Jiannan put down the coffee in his hand and smiled with deep meaning: "I don't think so." There is an old saying in our Chinese that the ruler is long and the inch is short. Bush Sr.'s strengths are also his weaknesses, and the greater his strengths, the more obvious the disadvantages. ”

"For example?"

"I think you know better than I do about the riots in Los Angeles in April. I can't imagine that the police would abdicate their duties and leave people in need of help and put them directly at gunpoint. The reasons behind this are very thought-provoking. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Economy. As Clinton said, the economic problem is the economy. Most Americans, while they would love to see the United States number one in the world, would they choose to be strong or accept that they are unemployed, have no money to buy bread, and no money to see a doctor?"

"It's not an accident, it's an inevitability. ”

"A bad economy makes a lot of people feel terrified, and poverty makes those damn bastards always want to make a profit. Just like what happened in Los Angeles. ”

"And the outcome of this will make many people distrust the current government. ”

Shen Jiannan didn't say anything directly, but Murdoch couldn't hear the meaning of his words.

Therefore, Murdoch's face became a little solemn, because the thirty-two companies controlled by Shen Jiannan are the actual major shareholders of News Corporation.

"Are you optimistic about Clinton? Shen, I have to warn you that he has no chance of winning. If you support him, you will offend the old conglomerates, such as Rockefeller, Merlon, and DuPont. IMHO, it's a pretty stupid investment. ”

Offending Rockefeller? I read books

Shen Jiannan raised his eyebrows.

Some people say that peers are always the biggest enemy in any industry, because only by killing peers can they become bigger.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But if it is placed in a different pattern, it is obviously not enough.

It's easy to eliminate one peer, but it's simply impossible to eliminate all peers.

The best way is to make these peers, who should be enemies, their own.

Therefore, the reason why the world's top capital and consortium can really become big is because of alliances and then monopolies.

And when monopoly is finally realized, other industries will be real opponents.

Just like the financial industry and traditional industries, to some extent, they are completely natural enemies.

Morgan and Rockefeller have been at loggerheads for nearly two centuries, and if we have to say why, it can also be described as predators.

Capital One's roots are in the financial industry, and now no one can kill them, and Morgan is a natural ally.

Similarly, with Rockefeller and the traditional resource industries of Merlon, DuPont, and Cleveland, they are inherently uncoordinated enemies.

Because of the financial industry, it is always necessary to invest in some new industries to realize the benefit of financial assets. For example, Wall Street continues to participate in venture capital around the world, and then invests in emerging industries such as Silicon Valley.

The birth and rise of new industries is bound to have a huge impact on traditional industries.

This conflict of interest, even a conflict that shakes the fundamentals, simply cannot be reconciled.

Of course, there are no compromises.

But for Shen Jiannan personally, he hates monopoly.

Whether it is from the perspective of a Chinese person or the issue of personal ideas, he does not like Rockefeller's devouring behavior of annexation and then monopoly.

Who would have thought that in a developed country like the United States, if there is no high medical insurance, even a middle-class family with an annual income of 300,000 yuan can bankrupt the family with a not very serious illness.

As a Chinese, Shen Jiannan didn't want to see this happen in his own country.

He has personally experienced how terrible the Chinese medical market is after being monopolized by Western medicine groups, all walks of life may go bankrupt, but pharmacies are opening one after another.

The starting price of a coronary stent with a cost of only a few hundred is monopolized by the medical device industry, and the price can be as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

And for the sake of a commission of up to 30 percent, the profession of a doctor has become a tool for accumulating money.

Saving lives, and sometimes even killing.

Shen Jiannan didn't like this very much.

He's not a nice guy, but he's personal.

He is a Chinese with yellow hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.

He had been to the countryside and seen the poverty of the rural people, and he really did not want those who had the same blood as him to provide nourishment for a monopoly like Rockefeller with their own lives.

"You know, I've never been an investment guru, but a speculator. But speculation does not mean that it needs to be in the most unlikely circumstances in order to obtain greater benefits. ”

Shen Jiannan said lightly.

His tone was calm, but anyone could hear the determination in his tone.

Murdoch also heard it, he didn't know why Shen Jiannan was so optimistic about Clinton, in his eyes, a financial predator like Shen Jiannan must have absolute certainty before he can speculate and make profits.

After a long silence, Murdoch thought in his heart what kind of benefits he would get if Clinton won.

Thinking of the terrorist power shown by Shen Jiannan in Europe, he made a decision.

"What do you want me to do?"

Los Angeles.

Located in southwestern California, it is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the western United States, often referred to as the "City of Angels".

In this city of about 1,200 square kilometers, it is home to more than three million people.

It is one of the important industrial and commercial, international trade, science and education, entertainment and sports centers in the United States, and it is also one of the main bases of the petrochemical, marine and aerospace industries in the United States.

As a result, Los Angeles' GDP is $150 billion, more than 80 percent of the world's gross national product.

In previous presidential elections, Los Angeles is one of the important cities that the two parties must compete for, except for Chicago and New York.

Because as long as you win from these three cities, you can basically win the election by randomly getting votes from the other 47 cities.

But because of the petrochemical industry, from Los Angeles to the whole of California, it has been a traditional Republican control area.

To put it simply, this is the Republican Party's fixed vote.

After all, many people living here rely on marine engineering and petrochemical industry to eat.

Unions have always supported the Republican Party to fight for the interests of workers.

President Bush yesterday proposed new reform measures in education, saying that if he can be re-elected, he will allow the government to provide more funds to support education and more people have the opportunity to complete college. ”

But Democratic candidate William Clinton argues that America's biggest problem right now is the economy, not education. William Clinton believes that if he succeeds in his campaign, he will have Congress issue more public debt to promote economic reform and development, and increase the operating rate of enterprises to solve the serious employment problem. ”

Fox Radio.

In April 1987, the company began broadcasting radio network simulcasts, consisting of six television stations purchased in 1986 by the former Australian newspaper businessman Rupert Murdoch, and combined with 105 independent television stations to form a broadcasting network.

Since it is based in California, it has been operating news programming since 1990 and has grown into the cable industry, and is now the largest television station in California.

Watching Fox Radio news or listening to Fox Radio broadcasts is a habit of most people living here.

Of course, it's not so much a habit as a choice.

In recent years, California's economy has been very bad, and it costs a lot of money to go out, so it is better to sit at home and watch TV, and enjoy the beautiful faces of the host for free, as well as some other entertainment.

Take, for example, Fox TV's entertainment for adults.

In a movable house, Tom Cohenbeth was bored watching the presidential election on television, looking a little decadent.

He had been unemployed for a long time, and had to rely on benefits and some casual jobs every month to get by, which is why his girlfriend scolded him and left him a week ago.

Tom Cohen was frustrated for a long time.

To be honest, it's not that he's lazy and unwilling to go out and look for a job, it's just that the economy is so bad that there are many people grabbing a job that no one usually wants to do, and he really can't find a job.

"Mr. Shen Jiannan is an internationally renowned financial tycoon who predicted the currency crisis that is taking place in Europe a few months ago and has advised several European governments. ”

"He proved to be a very visionary economic guru. ”

"But unfortunately. Europe did not take his advice at first. ”

"Today, we had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mr. Shen Jiannan to hear his views on the future of the U.S. economy. ”
