Chapter 57 I'm optimistic about him as president

Listening to the voice on the phone, George Soros couldn't help but be stunned.

Accidentally.

It was so unexpected.

Although he had shown kindness to Shen Jiannan when he was in London, he never thought that Shen Jiannan would really contact him directly.

You can't even pee in a pot, can you?

How can you contact me at this time.

Could it be......

Soros has lived for half a century, and in the past 60 years, he has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of human affairs, that is, he has guessed many possibilities in just a moment.

In the final analysis, each other can be regarded as peers, both enemies and friends.

In this world, there is always only eternal interests.

"Oh. Shen, I was so surprised to receive your call, I'm really sorry. ”

"Haha, George. You're so good at talking. It was because I made the phone call out of the blue. ”

"Oh. Shen, I'm ashamed to say that. Although I am a few years older, I admire your achievements in the field of finance and economics very much, and I would be very happy if we had the opportunity to communicate with each other. ”

"Thank you George for your compliment, and I think anyone would be very happy to get your approval. Me too. ”

"It's not just appreciation, I'm just telling a fact. ”

"Haha......"

"How's the weather over there?"

Shen Jiannan glanced at the sky outside, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the blue waves and blue sky were connected in a line, which was a rare good weather.

"The weather in Manhattan today is very nice, and it's a rare day to go out. ”

And so it was.

Soros had already guessed that people like Shen Jiannan would definitely not take the initiative to call for the sake of.

"Oh my God, are you in Manhattan?"

George Soros pretended to be surprised and said, the surprise in his tone could be as fake as real.

Shen Jiannan was also unambiguous, and took over the words: "It looks like you are also in Manhattan now!"

"Yes. I just came back from vacation not long ago, and the weather is so nice today, would you be interested in finding a place to sit down and talk?"

"Of course, if you don't take the liberty of bothering. ”

"Do you have any good places to recommend? There are a lot of places in New York that have a good environment. ”

"Oh..... There is a café in Times Square ......"

“......”

Times Square!

Hanging up the phone, George Soros habitually touched his chin. The place that Shen Jiannan chose is really interesting.

It seems that this young speculator is very ambitious!

Midtown Manhattan North.

This nearly 100-year-old triangle is home to the intersection of Broadway, Seventh Avenue and West 46th Street.

The semi-cylindrical NASDAQ banner is constantly changing the hot and cold faces of black, blue and red. It also seems to indicate the unpredictable situation of the stock market in the world's financial center, where the commercial and financial atmosphere of advertising and high-tech artistic means are perfectly unified, and its function has exceeded the original intention of tempting people to dig out their pockets.

Times Square.

Manhattan, New York, and other famous shopping malls around the world.

On this small piece of land, there are nearly 40 shopping malls and theaters nearby, which is a thriving entertainment and shopping center.

Broadway theaters, dazzling neon tube advertisements, and television-style billboards have become symbols of New York and reflect Manhattan's strong urban character.

Walk around Times Square, surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers.

The big screen that plays news, song MVs, and TV programs at any time is enough to shock everyone's eyes.

But today's Times Square, more noisy than ever, but at the same time has a kind of grand solemnity, a stage built in the central area, there is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes on the stage to constantly say something, and around them, in addition to the cameras of many media such as ABC, there are also many attracted people.

This year's election speech.

And the young man standing on the stage with a microphone in his hand is the final candidate of this Democratic Party - William Jefferson Clinton.

"My compatriots.

Today we celebrate the mystery of the American Revival.

This ceremony takes place in the middle of economic winter, but, through what I say and the faces we show to the world, we will drive the economy towards spring.

In the spring of rebirth, the world's oldest democracy, brought vision and courage to redefine the United States.

When our Founding Fathers courageously proclaimed American independence to the world and our goals to the Almighty, they knew that for America to last, it had to change.

Change not for the sake of change, but for the sake of preserving America's ideal life, freedom, and pursuit of happiness.

While we move forward with the music of the times, our mission is eternal.

Every generation of Americans must define what it means to be an American.

On behalf of our country, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, who served the United States for half a century.

I would also like to thank the millions of men and women who fought their way through the Great Depression, Communism, and Communism. ”

The central area of Times Square.

Shen Jiannan sat on the open-air balcony of a café and watched with great interest as William Clinton delivered an election speech below.

The terrace is not high or low, seven or eight meters away, you can clearly hear every word Clinton said with a megaphone, and you can also see any expression on his face.

At this time, Clinton looked very energetic, with short blond hair and full of energy, a neat suit and a tall and slender figure made him look very energetic, and his red tie and white shirt also set off his hot heart.

He is a master of the art of expressing himself very well with body language and speech.

Every word and action he makes is setting the perfect foreshadowing for the meaning that needs to be expressed in the next step.

Hearing Clinton's thanks to Bush Sr. for his contributions, Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing.

As a competitor, at this time, push people up the ladder, the higher you push, the more ruthless the trick will be to kick people down.

Really.

At first, Clinton's previous words were as if he was reading lines, and there was no impassioned tone, but suddenly, his whole momentum changed, and his fists clenched closely.

"Today, a generation that grew up in the shadow of the Cold War has taken on new responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but still threatened by ancient hatreds and new plagues.

We grew up in unparalleled prosperity, inheriting an economy that is still the strongest in the world, but weakened by business closures, stagnant wages, rising inequality, and deep divisions among people.

When George Washington first took the oath, and I had just sworn to keep it, the news rode slowly across the land and across the ocean in a boat.

Now, the sights and sounds of this ritual are immediately broadcast to billions of people around the world.

Communications and commerce are global, investment is fluid, technology is almost magical, and ambition for a better life is now widespread.

We earn our living in peaceful competition with people all over the world. Courier

Profound and powerful forces are shaking and transforming our world, and the pressing question of our time is whether we can change our friends, not our enemies.

This new world has enriched the lives of millions of Americans, and they have the ability to compete and win in it.

But when most people work harder for less, when others simply can't work, when health care costs destroy families and threaten the bankruptcy of many of our businesses, large and small, when the fear of crime robs law-abiding citizens of their freedoms, and when millions of poor children can't even imagine the lives we call to them, we don't change our friends.

We know that we must face the difficult truth and take strong steps. But we didn't. On the contrary, we have drifted, and this drift has eroded our resources, undermined our economy, and shaken our confidence. ”

“......”

No one likes to fight.

And no one likes a war that doesn't get any benefits.

During the elder Bush's tenure, there was a $200 billion fiscal deficit, almost three times that of 1980.

The U.S. economy continues to be sluggish, with an unemployment rate of 7.8%, the highest since 1984. Many factories have closed down, workers have lost their jobs in large numbers, economic growth rates have fallen, inflation has remained high, and people's incomes have been steadily declining.

But the elder Bush put more energy into world affairs.

He once jokingly said that I prefer to deal with diplomatic issues rather than domestic issues.

This sentence was seen by the outside world as evidence that Bush Sr. likes to fight wars and does not care about the economy.

In May 1989, just four months after taking office, he announced a strategy of "beyond containment" against the Soviet Union. In May-June 1990, a series of agreements were reached with the Soviet Union on the reduction of strategic nuclear weapons, the destruction and non-production of chemical weapons, and nuclear testing.

Of course, Bush Sr. did not borrow money, but chose to raise taxes.

Treasury bonds were created by Morgan, so Congress has always been in the hands of the Democratic Party, and it is very difficult for Bush Sr. to issue more Treasury bonds on behalf of the Republican Party.

However, when Bush Sr. was running for the first term, he said conclusively: During his term in office, he will not raise taxes on the people.

Obviously, Bush Sr. has broken his promise for what he did during his administration!

Bang Bang Bang –

This is Manhattan, and this is the center of the economy.

However, in the four years of Bush administration, the economy has become worse and worse, the NASDAQ has repeatedly reached new lows, the financial market has become more difficult to make money, and people have to reduce consumption and spending, but they have to bear high medical expenses.

So, as Clinton waved his hand on the stage to criticize the plight that the economy has brought to the people, fierce applause erupted all around.

Shen Jiannan also applauded.

Sincere and sincere.

At least among the previous US presidents, the Clinton administration's behavior has been remarkable, there has been no endless war, and the economy has been climbing steadily for eight consecutive years, giving full play to the effect of the US engine engine.

Whether it is as a Chinese or a person, whether it is from the position of any country.

Political demands aside, William Clinton is a very good president of the United States, and as for the mistakes that every man makes, it is harmless.

"Are you optimistic about him too?"

George Soros stepped on the soft carpet and walked over, and saw Shen Jiannan applauding with the crowd below, and casually applauded and asked a deep question.

There weren't too many pleasantries, and there were no more false tentative temptations.

In this unique location in Manhattan, just a few hundred meters from Wall Street, a lot of things don't need to be said anymore.

This is Manhattan.

This is where Morgan has been in business for a century.

This is the financial center of the United States.

And everyone knows that the supporters behind the Democratic Party have always been financial giants.

Including, the Jewish Consortium.

And the Quantum Fund has never shied away from supporting Clinton.

Shen Jiannan didn't look back, watching Clinton waving his fist below to express the ideals in his heart, and a deep look of approval flashed in his eyes.

"I'm a war aversion. You know, my country has been through a lot of wars, and the people there are very disgusted and hated the death and suffering that comes with war. ”

"I've always believed that war is just for some dictators, some beastly guys, to satisfy their own desires and destruction. ”

George Soros's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

This is what he really determined Shen Jiannan's identity as a Chinese, although, before this, he had actually confirmed that Shen Jiannan was Chinese.

In his heart, he agreed with what Shen Jiannan said.

As a Jew, Soros has experienced many wars, and even more so the trauma of war, and he also hates war from the bottom of his heart.

However, wars have never ended in the history of mankind.

"There will inevitably be differences and conflicts of interest between people, which are irreconcilable, and in the thousands of years of human history, wars have never really stopped. ”

This is a question and a rhetorical question. It is both a discussion and a contemplation.

Shen Jiannan finally turned around and met Soros's dull and dim eyes.

"But I think that the reason why human beings are human beings is because human beings are rational, which is the biggest difference between human beings and animals, and human beings should have more ways to resolve differences and conflicts of interest, and use rules to restrain the process of human beings. ”

"But fighting and destruction have always been rooted in the genes of human beings. ”

George Soros asked aggressively.

Shen Jiannan made a gesture of invitation, and when Soros sat down, he said lightly: "You are talking about black people." ”

"You're racist. ”

“NO。 I've never been racist, but just repeating a fact. ”

George Soros shrugged, noncommittal to that answer.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Coffee. ”

Smack-

Shen Jiannan snapped his fingers, and the waiter in the distance trotted over.

"Double the coffee for Mr. Soros. Thank you!"

The waiter hurried away, and the two did not talk again, but looked at William Clinton, who was giving an impassioned speech below.

"From our revolutions, civil wars, and the Great Depression to the civil rights movement, our people have always been determined to build the pillars of our history from these crises.

Thomas Jefferson believed that in order to preserve the foundations of our nation, we need to make great changes from time to time.

Our democracy must not only be the envy of the whole world, but also the engine of our own revival. There is nothing bad about the United States that cannot be solved with the right United States.

So today, we pledge to end the era of stalemate and drift, and a new season of American revival has begun.

To revitalize America, we must be bold.

We have to do what no generation has done.

We must invest more in our own people, in their jobs, in their future, while cutting our vast debt.

We must do so in a world where we must compete for every opportunity
