Text Chapter 788 Two Requirements
Bloomberg scolded: "Isn't it because of Donald App's idiot? A series of political views he had during his campaign were all in line with the interests of the 'middle and lower classes', but when he came to power, he found that none of these roads worked, and now this racial conflict, in the final analysis, is a conflict between the poor and the middle class, and now he doesn't dare to offend the middle class at all, and he doesn't dare to offend the voters because he supports white people, so he can only hold back like a turtle with a shrunken head." And if the real conflict continues to be serious, the lives of all the middle-class and above people in the Stars and Stripes will be affected, and then the entire Stars and Stripes will be over! Xiao, you must not say anything about you, you must know that most of the Chinese in the Stars and Stripes are middle-class! They are not blacks, they have received food stamps for several lifetimes, and if their lives are ruined, can you guarantee that they will not return to China?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I just want you to do nothing," Bloomberg said. Well, it doesn't seem realistic, you just have to speak out in public and say something like that calling for a peaceful solution to the hatred that has been put down. β
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then what can I get?"
Xiao Peng understood Bloomberg's words, in the final analysis, it is still the word profit, if the Stars and Stripes are in chaos, the poor don't care, anyway, they would have received food stamps, how bad can they be? You can't squeeze oil out of the stone. But the impact on the middle class and the wealthy is enormous. That's what they don't want to see, that's why they come to themselves to lobby themselves.
Bloomberg asked, "What do you want?"
"Michael, can you agree to my terms on behalf of the Stars and Stripes?" Xiao Peng asked with a smile.
"I'll have a way to persuade Conrad, Shaw, believe me, I may not be able to do it alone, but this time, I'm not representing my own interests, and Kenneth." Kenneth is here because it represents a common need for all of Kenneth's clients. He came on behalf of his clients. β
Damn, Kenneth is the president of Amex, and all of his customers are top rich, right? You must know that the Stars and Stripes are the most unequal income countries in the developed world. The twenty richest people here have more assets than half of the entire population combined. The combined wealth of Yuntong's customers may account for more than 90% of the national economy.
Xiao Peng thought for a while and raised two fingers: "I only have two requests, the Stars and Stripes are open to free trade and accept refugees from the Middle East." β
Kenneth was drinking whiskey, and after listening to Xiao Peng's words, he choked and coughed badly. Bloomberg was also frightened: "Xiao, you're not joking, are you? You don't fight for your own welfare? You have nothing to do with these two demands, do you? I understand free trade, what does Middle Eastern refugees have to do with you?"
In his eyes, international trade should be beneficial to the employment of the Stars and Stripes, and the so-called fair trade should not be free trade, and the taxes on imported goods from other countries should be increased, forcing the enterprises of the Stars and Stripes countries to transfer employment opportunities to the mainland, which is a typical local trade protectionism.
To give a simple example, he once asked the Stars and Stripes Kent Group to open a factory to produce 'Made in the Stars and Stripes' bicycles, hoping to boycott 'Made in China' bicycles.
You know, last year alone, there were 18 million Chinese-made bicycles sold to the Stars and Stripes!
Apu saw that this is not going to work! This is all money and jobs, so he found the Kent Group.
After all, the owners of the Kent Group, the Kammler family, have been in the bicycle industry for more than 50 years for three generations, allowing them to produce bicycles and specialize in them. And gave a series of preferential policies to the Kent Group, so the bicycle production line under the ambitious Kent Group was grandly started in Manning City.
The media in the Stars and Stripes spoke highly of the Kent Group's reopening of the bicycle factory, and Forbes magazine cheered even more, saying that the Callum family had brought manufacturing jobs back to the Stars and Stripes! Callum also confidently said that the new bicycle production line has solved more than 100 employment problems, and at the same time, he is confident that the annual output will exceed one million!
But the truth of the matter is that since 26 years ago, the Carter Group no longer produces bicycles, but has transformed into a simple agent dealer, selling bicycles imported from China in the Stars and Stripes! As soon as this new factory opened, the Kent Group encountered big trouble: because for a long time, the Stars and Stripes enterprises had almost no experience in producing bicycles, and all the parts and components had to be imported from Asian countries!
At this time, the CEO of Kent Group was anxious, crying and shouting every day to ask Apu not to raise tariffs on Chinese products. Otherwise, jobs will increase, but local manufacturers like Kent will suffer.
The Kammler family was the first to firmly support the imposition of high import tariffs on the bicycle industry, just like the European Union, which imposed an ultra-high tariff of 48.9% on Chinese bicycles! The Callum family can make more money by importing bicycles on the grounds of higher tariffs.
But when it was really his turn to produce it himself, he was directly dumbfounded: he ignored the fact that so many countries in the European Union, from Bulgaria and Romania to Portugal and Hungary, still have bicycle manufacturing industry, and what about the Stars and Stripes? After more than 20 years of impact on Huaxia Bicycles, except for a few high-end brands with very small output, the Stars and Stripes have basically lost the ability to mass-produce bicycles. It takes about 40 parts to make a bicycle, and all the local manufacturers in the Stars and Stripes country cannot afford to supply any of them.
Well, I was thinking about saving money, but now I'm spending more. The current Stars and Stripes, Apu launched the 'Section 301' and forcibly provoked a trade war with China.
Section 301 gives the president of the Stars and Stripes the power to unilaterally impose tariffs or other trade restrictions, emphasizing the protection of domestic industries from the 'unreasonable or unfair trade practices' of other countries. Since the establishment of the WTO in 1995, 'Section 301' has actually been abandoned, and as a result, Apu has taken it out again, adding to the blockage of people all over the world.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if unilateral sanctions are really imposed on China, the losses of the Stars and Stripes will definitely be greater than those of China. In doing so, the Stars and Stripes will likely have to accept higher prices for imported goods than in the past, and it will be more difficult for the Stars and Stripes to sell their agricultural products, airplanes, automobiles, and other goods in China, which will be much easier to find new suppliers than Stars and Stripes to find new consumers. And higher tariffs also mean that people are living under pressure
increase in force.
According to this blind tossing and turning, Apu is very likely to become the fourth president in the history of the United States to be impeached, and it is also very likely to become the first president to be impeached and removed from office. Because this girl is too good, she hurts the interests of all classes in the Stars and Stripes Country in one go. If Apu can really serve two consecutive terms as president, the Stars and Stripes will properly become the second largest country in the world!
Of course, Apu didn't do this because he was stupid, on the contrary, because he was smart. In the short term, many business activities will be carried out before the tariff increases, which will lead to short-term GDP increases and employment increases, which can make him firmly in the position to win re-election, but how long he can hold out is not certain.
As for the trouble he has caused? Please, it is not certain whether he will survive until the end of his term. Let the people behind you have a headacheγγγγγγ
And he is also more clever, which is to make enemies for the country. Nothing enhances national cohesion more than a hostile state.
It's a pity that he picked the wrong opponent------ and his trade war found Huaxia.
These measures are very direct to the lives of the people of Stars and Stripes------ which greatly increases the cost of living. But what about the Chinese people? It is certain that the relevant enterprises will be affected, but with the state regulating prices, the lives of the common people basically have no impact.
It is said that there is no winner in the trade war, but it must be China that has the last laugh.
As for the refugee issue. Roar, then it's better to understand, wipe your ass with your own shit. Whoever created these Middle Eastern refugees is responsible, and don't you refuse to accept refugees? Now I'm going to pile you up with a pair of refugees to block it. Let's see for yourself.
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "I can earn the money myself, besides, when the money reaches a certain amount, it is just a number." Since you said that I want to consider this matter for the sake of the people, then I will make these two requests for the sake of the people. Can you do it?"
Bloomberg and Kenneth looked at each other, lost in thought.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect their income, on the contrary, they earn more, because the tariffs are lowered, and their costs are lower. They also support this, they don't want to be fools like the Kent Group.
But open to refugees? Damn, how can this Nima accept it? Isn't that planting a bomb in his yard?
Their consistent policy is to 'kill and bury', no matter how much trouble they cause in the world, as long as the money is earned. It has never accepted refugees. What if these people get into trouble in the Stars and Stripes? After all, there are no Stars and Stripes, and there are no refugees------ the Stars and Stripes are still self-aware.
None of these things have anything to do with Xiao Peng! Bloomberg and Kenneth had imagined a lot of demands that Xiao Peng might make, to be precise, they were even ready for compensation, but they never thought that he would make such a request! They really wanted to ask Xiao Peng what he thought!
In fact, Xiao Peng's idea is also very simple: Do you want to reconcile? Then use your most uncomfortable way to reconcile! Otherwise, you don't know the pain! (https:)
