Chapter 903 - Benefiting oneself at the expense of the United States
Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said with a Zhizhu expression in his hand: "Although under normal circumstances, the director of the White House Economic Advisory Council is the president's chief economic adviser, but the appointment power of all staff in the White House is in the hands of the president, and it is not impossible to add new economic adviser positions, anyway, the president has the final say, and there is no need for congressional consent." ”
"Again, your status depends on your position in the president's mind, and if you can't match John Rutledge's, then even if you sit in the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you will be replaced. ”
"If you can compete with him, then even if you're not in the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you can become the president's chief economic adviser, or even swap places with him. ”
Rhodes Saxon nodded in agreement with Xia Yu's opinion.
He had considered this, but he was not sure that he would be able to move Ronald Reagan to create a separate position for him to compete with the head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
He also thought differently and knew how much pressure it would put on Ronald Reagan to open this position alone.
After all, there are so many people in a team, and there are normally only more than 20 positions of senior White House officials, and everyone wants to be in a high position.
If this kind of thing is not handled well, then it will create a huge internal risk for Ronald Reagan and affect his administration.
But he also knows one thing, what he can't do doesn't mean that Xia Yu can't do it, so he came here.
Xia Yu continued: "So let's go back to a little bit, you have to use your own theoretical views to impress Ronald Reagan and let him put you in an important position in his heart. ”
"For the sake of my happy cooperation with him, and for you to cooperate happily with him, the maximum I can do is to provide you with a fair opportunity to compete, do you think it is right?"
Rhodes Saxon nodded heavily and said: "You're right, I don't think I'm worse than him, but what I'm missing is a competitive opportunity, and I need a platform wide enough to show my ability." ”
"Smack!"
Xia Yu smiled and applauded, and said with a smile: "That's right, I also think that you are not worse than him, you and John Rutledge actually have their own characteristics, although he will also write articles in the media, but he is a typical academic expert, and you are different, although you are not as educated as him, but your social practice experience far surpasses him, you are an academic and practical talent, of course you can see through some more subtle things in combination with reality, this is your advantage." ”
"No matter how good the theory and policy are, they must be realistic in order to be perfectly implemented. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Rhodes Saxon again, and seeing the latter's pensive face, Xia Yu knew that he had listened.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said again: "But Rhodes, I also hope that your future can be brighter, and I will do my best to help you." ”
"Now Jimmy Carter has left Ronald Reagan with a huge mess, inflation problems, economic downturns, high unemployment, international relations problems, etc., everybody is looking at Ronald Reagan to be able to solve these problems after he takes office, and if you want to become chief economic adviser, become a real core figure in the White House, you have to face these problems and come up with practical measures, do you want to hear my thoughts?"
Rhodes Saxon was shocked, and nodded suddenly in surprise: "Of course, Mr. Xia, you are a master in the field of economics, and it is my honor to listen to your advice." ”
Because he and Xia Yu are on the same line, Rhodes Saxon knows a little more than outsiders, so he understands Xia Yu's horror better.
In his opinion, the appearance of youth is completely disguised, and under the appearance of youth, it is the wisdom and spicinessness of the world to see through.
Xia Yu's guidance is definitely not easy to obtain.
Next, Xia Yu combined the mature "Reaganomics" in later generations, and then began to instill the idea for Rhodes Saxon according to the current situation: "If you want to solve the problem of inflation, then the monetary policy of the United States must be an expansionary ......"
Full of dry goods from Xia Yu's mouth, Rhodes Saxon can easily distinguish the quality, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Yu's views gave him great inspiration, many things he had not considered before, but now when he thinks about it, it is practical and effective, and there is a high degree of execution.
He couldn't wait to take a tape recorder to record all Xia Yu's instructions, but unfortunately he could only get paper and notes urgently, and he had to interrupt Xia Yu's narration embarrassingly more than once because he couldn't remember it.
After three days, Rhodes Saxon simply stayed at Xia Yu's house and Xia Yu, seized this opportunity to discuss and communicate with Xia Yu, asked in detail when he encountered incomprehension, and tried his best to argue with Xia Yu when he encountered different points of view.
But there is no need to guess the results of the debate, all of them ended with Xia Yu's victory.
After arguing again and again, Rhodes Saxon's gaze at Xia Yu completely changed, and he was impressed by Xia Yu in his heart.
Three days later.
Rhodes Saxon, who was in a suit and leather shoes, stood at the door of Xia Yu's villa, full of energy and confidence, and he solemnly said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your guidance, three days ago, maybe I was not absolutely sure to defeat John Rutledge, but now I have the confidence to win, the chief economic adviser of the White House will definitely be me!"
The "Reaganomics" formed by Reagan in the two years of Reagan's administration in later generations had an undoubted impact on Rhodes Saxon, and it also raised his ideological and theoretical level to several levels, and this improvement was completely cheating.
To describe it simply, Rhodes Saxon, who learned the essence after Xia Yu's guidance, is a combination of himself + John Rutledge and other entire elite teams eight years later, and Rhodes Saxon has the background to stand out, and it is given by Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled and said: "Rhodes, remember what I told you, after you go back, you hurry up and show Ronald Reagan your views and talents, surprise him, and then I will go to see him again." ”
"Okay, I won't forget. Rhodes Saxon replied.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said encouragingly: "Rhodes, I look forward to your performance, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me, and I will do my best to help you." ”
"Mr. Xia, thank you, I will definitely not be polite to you. ”
After speaking, Rhodes Saxon bowed deeply to Xia Yu in order to express his gratitude.
Xia Yu gave him a hand, patted him on the shoulder, and finally admonished: "Come on, you don't have to worry about personal finance, I will solve it perfectly for you, you can work hard in the political field wholeheartedly, I will provide you with all the voluntariness you need to lay your connections, I look forward to the day when there will be another Saxon family in American politics after the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and other political families." ”
As soon as these words came out, Rao is Rhodes Saxon's mentality was stable enough, and he couldn't help but beat his heart faster and began to look forward to it.
It can be said that as long as there is no one who is in politics, there is no one who does not want to be in that ranks, and he is naturally no exception.
Even if he can't become the top political family in the United States, he can become a second-rate political family, he can lay the foundation for future generations, maybe one day, his descendants can succeed?
But Rhodes Saxon is not blindly arrogant, he knows that the most important thing at present is to hold on to Ronald Reagan and Xia Yu, the two golden thighs, and strong support in both the political and capital fields is the foundation for him to achieve his personal goals.
Throughout the United States, ancient and modern, it is this model!
"Mr. Xia, thank you for your blessings!"
"I swear in the name of God that you are the most important friend and life mentor in my life, and you will also be the eternal friend of the future Saxon family!"
Rhodes Saxon assured solemnly.
Xia Yu also said with a serious face: "I will always remember your promise!"
"Come on!"
"Mr. Xia, goodbye!"
"Have a nice trip!"
After waving his hand and watching Rhodes Saxon drive away, Xia Yu turned around and returned to the living room to sit down, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Just when he wanted to look at the information of the film and television industry again, Li Wuming suddenly asked out loud: "Ayu, how do you instruct him to solve the problems of the United States, if Ronald Reagan adopts it, and the United States becomes stronger and stronger, will it have an impact on Xiangjiang and the mainland?"
Xia Yu looked at Li Wuming with some surprise, he didn't expect this martial idiot to care about this kind of problem.
Sure enough, the environment is the easiest to change a person, it seems that Li Wuming has been with him for so long, and he has grown a lot under the influence of his ears and eyes.
Xia Yu did not stop Li Wuming's progress, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Second brother, if Rhodes transmits the views I told him in the past two days to Ronald Reagan as it is, and the latter really has to do so, then the United States will definitely recover, but this recovery will have to be marked with quotation marks." ”
"The expansion of the dollar, the stimulation of the stock market, the suppression of labor unions, the curbing of commodity prices, the reduction of government spending, etc., can definitely restore the vitality of the US economic growth, but this growth is only superficial, and the bad effects will be very far-reaching, and when the United States wants to find out the problem, it is estimated that Ronald Reagan will step down. ”
"Even if Ronald Reagan was still in office, but the average voter can't, the positive growth is the most convincing evidence. ”
The consortium also hopes that he will continue to harm the interests of the bottom to strengthen the upper echelons of the pyramid. ”
"The United States, after all, is a capitalist country, and the capitalists are the real masters!"
Li Wuming nodded as if he didn't understand, although he didn't understand a little, he knew that Xia Yu was digging a pit again.
Looking at Li Wuming's thoughtful appearance, Xia Yu showed a meaningful smile.
In this life, with his interference, there is a high probability that Rhodes Saxon will become Ronald Reagan's henchman, and if he really accepts the evolved version of "Reaganomics" of the campaign slogan, then the potential of the United States will be cut off even more.
The impact of the Reagan recession, which was the highest since the Great Depression in the United States, may be reduced, but the fiscal deficit, trade deficit, national debt, foreign debt, and gap between the rich and the poor will become even greater.
These things are liked by the conglomerates, but they are harmful to the people at the bottom, and they are very harmful to the United States.
"As a Chinese, it stands to reason that the 'Reagan syndrome' in the United States should be made more serious!"
As the responsibility bearer of the Chinese people in this era, Xia Yu thought so in his heart.
