Chapter 234: Bet

As soon as he began to express his thoughts, he was directly pushed back by Oliver, and Chen Dahe really felt a little depressed.

The two of them have their own ideas, and they both firmly believe that they are right, Oliver's self-confidence comes from her understanding of her profession, while Chen Dahe's self-confidence comes from cheating memories of the afterlife, neither of them is willing to retreat, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Chen Dahe was lying on the back of the sofa, his eyes glancing around without focus, one moment on the ceiling, one moment on the pile of design drawings on the desktop, one moment on the eyes of Oliver who had been staring at him, and by the way, he accidentally saw the towering snow peak that was squeezed up by his arms, uh, don't look at it, and quickly shifted his gaze.

Hey, the legs are so white, turn again.

Tilting his head, just in time to see the painting tube next to him, Chen Dahe's eyes condensed slightly, and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Ahem," he leaned forward with his elbows on his thighs, looked at Oliver and smiled, "Oliver, it seems like this is an election year in the United States, right?"

Oliver was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "That's right, why did you ask about this." ”

Chen Dahe did not answer, but continued to ask, "Then do you know who is running?"

"Of course," Oliver said, though he didn't understand what Chen Dahe was trying to do, "it's no secret, it's most likely that the current president, Mr. Carter, the Republican candidate, Mr. Reagan, and the Republicans, Mr. Anderson, is running as an independent candidate." ”

"OK," Chen Dahe snapped his fingers and looked at her with a smile, "So Oliver, who do you think is most likely to win the presidential election?"

Oliver lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "First of all, Mr. Anderson can rule out that so far there is no precedent for an independent candidate in the United States to win the election, as for the relationship between Carter and Reagan, I think it is Mr. Carter who will win, after all, he is the current president, he has a natural advantage, although the current domestic economic situation is not optimistic, but as long as he can come up with a suitable solution and maintain policy continuity, he should be able to win the election." ”

Hearing her words, Chen Dahe showed a very bright smile, "Oliver, why don't we make a bet?"

Oliver raised his eyebrows slightly, "You say." ”

"That's right," Chen Dahe's smile also retracted, and he looked at her with a serious face, "Since I have already reached a preliminary agreement with a company in Xiangjiang, this cooperation must be carried out, I can listen to your advice, only invest 10 million US dollars, and promise not to make additional investments within three years." ”

The corners of Oliver's mouth turned up, but he didn't speak, waiting for Chen Dahe to continue.

"As for our differences," Chen Dahe gestured with both hands, looked at her and continued, "maybe we can make a bet on whoever wins." ”

Oliver's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him inquiringly, "You mean, betting on the results of the U.S. election?"

"That's right," Chen Dahe pursed his lips and said, "Don't you don't believe my analysis, then we can bet on this big event that none of us can control, you know that I have never been to the United States, I can only rely on public media information for analysis, if the final result can be speculated by me, then my judgment of the Chinese market can be trusted, what do you think?"

If even the United States on the other side of the ocean can accurately speculate through some public information, then it is completely possible to conduct a more accurate and effective analysis in this country, and there is no problem at all in Chen Dahe's statement.

Oliver frowned and didn't speak for a long time, but finally nodded slightly, "I can accept this, okay, you tell me, who are you going to press?"

"Reagan," Chen Dahe showed a bright smile, "I choose Reagan, he will be the next president of the United States!"

Although I don't know much about the 80s, I still know about President Reagan, who put forward the Star Wars program and directly dragged down the Soviet Union, and the influence of this legendary actor president on the United States is by no means just the eight years in office, but completely establishes the leading position of the United States in the field of information technology in the world in the future, and the later President Clinton benefited a lot from this.

"That second-rate actor?" Oliver frowned slightly, and looked at him with a serious expression, "Tell me your basis, don't tell me that you are just guessing, I never believe in unjustified speculation, just like just now, if you can tell your basis and get my approval, I will also agree with your idea, otherwise, this bet will not be valid!"

Chen Dahe's expression also became serious at this time, he looked directly into Oliver's eyes, and said softly, " My reasoning comes from two points: first, I don't think Carter can reverse the declining economic situation in the United States, because he can't find a new economic growth point, if he has the ability, then it doesn't need to wait until he is re-elected, but it will be solved in the first four years, and now the voters have been disappointed in him, if there is a little other accident, it can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, perhaps, this accident is made by the Republican Party!"

Oliver nodded slightly, "I don't quite agree, but I accept this point, what about the second point?"

"The second point is Reagan," Chen Dahe said, "Reagan will save the faith of Americans!"

Upon hearing this, Oliver couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Your words are too exaggerated, a second-rate actor-turned-politician to save Americans' confidence?

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all," Chen Dahe shook his head, looking directly at Oliver without flinching, "You know Reagan's past experience, he is just from an ordinary family, no prominent family background, no brilliant education, he has been poor since childhood, through his unremitting efforts, knocked on the door of Hollywood starlight, he entered the political world with the experience of a broadcaster and a second-rate actor, went through hardships, served as the governor of California, the largest state in the United States, for two terms, and achieved outstanding results, Oliver, is there anything more inspirational than this American dream?" Especially at a time when there is a recession and confidence needs to be reinvigorated!"

After a slight pause, Chen Dahe said meaningfully, "Even if it's Lincoln, it's just that!"

At the moment when Chen Dahe's words fell, Oliver's face finally became solemn, and he no longer hugged his arms, but stood up with his hands clasped and kept walking.

Chen Dahe's analysis of Reagan reminded Oliver that she certainly knew that if Reagan's campaign seized on this point for propaganda, it was very likely to impress voters.

After a few moments, Oliver suddenly sat down and picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Chen Dahe looked at her movements in amazement, what's the matter?

Xiangjiang is full of program-controlled telephones, so naturally it will not need to be manually wired like in the mainland, and the speed is much faster, and it doesn't take long for the phone to be connected.

Oliver hurriedly said, "Hey, is it Daddy, I'm Oliver." ”

A roar immediately came from the microphone, "Hell Oliver, are you infected by that kid Chen Dahe, you have to call in the middle of the night, or the second half of the night!"

Chen Dahe's head is full of black lines, is this the way the father talks to his daughter? Or is this how they usually get along?
