Chapter 228: Completely Impressed
Alex Goodrich breathed a sigh of relief.
He understood what Chen Geng meant, and now that everyone is working together very happily, he doesn't mind continuing to support himself in the future, provided that he can bring enough returns to his investment.
"I am a person who respects the rules...... there are too many people, Alex Goodrich is not easy to say too directly, he used such a vague sentence to show Chen Geng his attitude: Don't worry, I will definitely not betray you.
Chen Geng immediately smiled, he waved his hand, and looked at Alex Goodrich with a confident expression: "I've never worried about this problem. ”
He really doesn't worry that Alex Goodrich will betray himself, throughout the history of American politics, there are many examples of behind-the-scenes financiers abandoning the politicians they support, but there is no example of a politician betraying his own investors after he is bullish, and there is no reason for this.
Alex Goodrich nodded, and then asked curiously, "Are you really so optimistic about Mr. Reagan?
Although he felt that Reagan's chances of winning were relatively large, but compared with several other candidates, Reagan did not seem to have a decisive force to guarantee that he would win, and Alex Goodrich was a little puzzled, how could Mr. Fernandez have such confidence in Reagan?
Can Chen Geng not have confidence in the US president, who put forward the Star Wars plan and killed the Soviet Union alive? He looked at Alex Goodrich meaningfully and said: "Because the United States lost the war in Vietnam. ”
Did the United States lose the war in Vietnam?
Alex Goodrich wondered why the United States had lost the war in Vietnam and was destined to become the next president of the United States?
Also, for a small politician who doesn't know where history is going and is limited to this part of Detroit, this is indeed a bit too difficult for him.
Facing Alex Goodrich, who looked puzzled, Chen Geng explained to him: "The cornerstone of the United States being able to compete with the Soviet Union is its huge military strength, but the United States, which has huge military strength, is defeated in Vietnam, although the defeat of the Vietnam War has various reasons, but defeat is defeat, for the United States, which claims to be a world-famous leader, this is a challenge to the global leadership of the United States!"
If the US government does not find a way to reverse this as soon as possible, its allies will even lose confidence in the United States, which is absolutely unacceptable to the United States, and if it wants to continue to maintain its absolute leadership over NATO and the entire capitalist world, the US government should and must have a strong leadership to build confidence in the entire capitalist world......
"What you said makes sense," Alex Goodrich thought for a while, but still couldn't help but refute Chen Geng's words: "But not only did Mr. Reagan mention this in his campaign speech, but also several other candidates mentioned this, why do you think Mr. Reagan was able to win in the end?"
Because the other candidates were just shouting slogans, only Mr. Reagan mentioned what really worked. ”
"Mr. Reagan has come up with a practical solution?" Alex Goodrich looked at Chen Geng with a confused expression: How could I not know?
Chen Geng smiled and said softly: "Space battle!"
Space warfare?
Space Battle!
Alex Goodrich finally remembered that Mr. Reagan did mention the concept of "space warfare" in his previous speeches, claiming to use this new model to defeat the evil Soviet Union, but many people, including himself, did not realize this, and because Mr. Reagan did not elaborate on his "space warfare", everyone instinctively felt that Reagan's "space warfare" was fundamentally influenced by George Lucas's " No one takes an unrealistic idea into account due to the impact of Star Wars, but Mr. Chen Geng doesn't seem to think so?
"But...... It's simply impossible," Alex Goodrich was frightened, and he muttered with a look of horror: "Our economic strength in the United States simply cannot support this level of investment, and if Mr. Reagan really wants to engage in a space war with the Soviets, the United States will definitely go bankrupt......"
"Who said it must be true?" interrupted him, Chen Geng asked rhetorically.
"......" Alex Goodrich felt that his head was a complete mess, and he was completely confused by Chen Geng.
"What does it matter if it's real or not?" Chen Geng explained softly: "The point is not whether we believe it or not, how we do it, but whether the Soviet Union believes it or not, as long as the Soviet Union believes it, what do you think they will do?"
What would they have done if the Soviets had believed?
As if a light lit up in Alex Goodrich's mind, Alex Goodrich finally made a mistake, and then looked at his big benefactor with a shocked face, and stammered: "You...... You...... What do you mean...... It's ......"
After all, he is also a witness to this history, how can Alex Goodrich not know what the United States and the Soviet Union were like during the Cold War?
To put it more thoroughly, the United States and the Soviet Union, NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the two largest military confrontation blocs on the planet today, are really a bunch of happy enemies who love and kill each other, and the forces on both sides are like taking too much medicine and completely lose their coolness, which is completely the way of thinking of a three-year-old child: whether this toy is fun or not, anyway, as long as you have it, then I have to have it, for example, one of them made a gold-plated toilet yesterday, and was complacent in the media, then the other one must bring out a pure gold one the next day, and quickly fill the opponent's negligence left behind. So a little bit of room for improvement in the toilet - I don't gild, I use 99.999% pure gold to make it, so as to completely annihilate the remaining imagination of the opponent against the toilet.
Based on this mentality, it is entirely conceivable how frightened the Soviets were when they learned that the Americans had begun to spread the battlefield into space, which they were not good at, and that they would surely pull out the last steel hammer in their pockets after they were sure that the Americans really intended to do so, in order to ensure that they did not fall behind in the space war competition with the Americans......
With the inherently deformed and stunted economic structure of the Soviet Union, Alex Goodrich is sure that if the Soviets fell for this, they would be in bad luck – and even the most optimistic Americans would not dare to think that the Soviet Union would collapse because of it!
Thinking about this layer, Alex Goodrich suddenly became excited: "That is to say, ......"
"Well," Chen Geng nodded: "As long as Mr. Reagan proves to those real bigwigs that his plan is indeed feasible, and the Soviets will definitely vomit blood, he will definitely become the next president of the United States - what do you think?"
Alex Goodrich was completely stunned, and he could fully imagine that if this "space war" plan was really a hole dug by the Americans for the Soviets, it would be unreasonable for Reagan not to be president!
Looking at Chen Geng again, Alex Goodrich's gaze was completely different from before.
Before, it wouldn't be enough to say that there was any idea of betrayal, but maybe because of Chen Geng's skin color, or maybe because of Chen Geng's age, Alex Goodrich always had a little disdain in his heart, thinking that this was a kid who had taken a shit luck, but now, Alex Goodrich really realized that all those who have achieved success, their success is never accidental.
At this moment, he was especially glad that he had not expressed this idea.
"Sir," said Alex Goodrich politely, "may I speak with you later?"
The tone can be called humble.
"Oh?" Chen Geng was a little puzzled.
"There are some things that I would like to hear from you. ”
"Okay. Chen Geng nodded happily.
Alex Goodrich had some thoughts of his own before, and he was not a fool, how could he not be aware of it?
........................
"Ten rings, nine rings, nine rings, ten rings......"
When Chen Geng's last round of shooting was completed, the results were calculated, and the observer gave Chen Geng a thumbs up in surprise: "Hey, buddy, amazing, I'll take a look at your total score...... Well, 965 points, your ranking is...... Well, 21st, congratulations. ”
He was really surprised that Chen Geng was able to achieve such a result, because this result was the best among all the rich people who came to participate in this shooting competition today, and this result made many people look at Chen Geng with admiration.
The vast majority of old beauties are like this, maybe at the beginning he will have some opinions about you because of your skin color, but when you show your strength to prove your ability - this strength can be your wealth, or your intelligence, or your shooting level - they will change their attitude towards you, of course, you think this mentality is "you slapped him, he knows that you are his father".
Chen Geng was a little depressed, and he shook his head in disappointment: "I thought I could achieve better results." ”
Before this, Chen Geng thought that his shooting level was not bad, and it should not be a problem to mix in the top ten, but he didn't expect that a small Detroit city would still hide so many good shooters.
The observer immediately laughed, and he said proudly: "Hey, buddy, you have to be clear, this is Detroit, there are many good guns players, and don't forget, there are Delta stubble here today, and almost all the good guns in Detroit are here, and you can achieve this result has surprised everyone, believe me, you have won everyone's respect." ”
Isn't it, just look at the people around Chen Geng who keep giving him a thumbs up whenever he turns his gaze, you can know that these old beauties are really convinced by Chen Geng.
