Chapter 4480: The Creator of History

"Barak. Obama? ”

David obviously has never heard of this name at all, and it is true that Obama's fame is not particularly big now, and in the eyes of many people, this black politician is a joke, he is actually going to run for president in the United States?

It's crazy, and for most Americans, it's unthinkable.

Although Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents in American history, emancipated all black slaves, blacks did not get the corresponding rights, and the status of colored people in the United States was still quite underground until World War II.

Later Martin. Luther. The emergence of King really started the liberation movement of black Americans in the United States, although the United States is now known as the most egalitarian country in the world, and various local state governments have also enacted quite strict laws against racial discrimination.

However, racial discrimination is still ubiquitous in the United States, and people of color are still the lowest class in the United States, living in the lowest class of people.

Even now, in 2007, the idea that blacks are announcing their candidacy for president may seem like a joke to most people

"Are you kidding Weifu? A who also wants to run for president? ”

Derek's big mouth opened fire again, and when Li Zhiyang heard what he said, he really wanted to go up and slap him a few times, you know that your mouth stinks, so you'd better not speak.

"No, I'm serious, and Derek, please keep your mouth in mind I don't like what you just said"

You**, even if you are David's own grandson, what can you do, can that old guy still live to be one hundred and fifty years old and cover you for the rest of your life?

Li Zhiyang was annoyed by that Derek's words, if Obama is a, then what is himself? Celestial ghosts?

Several people present heard that Li Zhiyang was very serious, and Derek was a little angry by Li Zhiyang's snatching, in fact, he didn't really have any racial discrimination against Obama or Li Zhiyang, but the level of education he received since he was a child was like that.

This mouth is not strict, and he likes to swear words, he can't change it even if he wants to change it Before he came, David had already said to her many times that he must have a good relationship with this Li Zhiyang.

After all, it is impossible for David to take care of him for the rest of his life, and once the day of David's return to the west comes, then the people in the family who are unhappy with him are very likely to jump out.

And with his level, he is likely to be kicked out of the small cabinet, which is not what David wants to see, so David hopes that he can deal well with James and his son-in-law Li Zhiyang, who have been in full swing recently, for the sake of Derek's future, these are necessary.

"Derek, I want to hear your apology, and I don't want to hear those racist words coming out of your mouth in the future"

David looked at Derek very seriously and said, Derek is really not angry, but there is no way, he is David's only grandson

Derek, like his father, is a playboy and has not yet married, but fortunately, at David's request, they found a suitable surrogate mother and gave birth to a son.

However, this child is only a teenager at the moment, and he is still in an aristocratic high school, so now he can only let this Derek stand up for himself here.

Now David's only hope is that he can survive a few more years and see his great-grandson grow up

Derek felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to confront his grandfather, because he also knew who was the real master of the family

Decades ago, if his grandfather hadn't found him himself, he might have died in a damp, cold dark alley in Los Angeles, drugged on drugs, or in a gang fight.

Therefore, David is not only his own grandfather, but also his savior, and he is also the person he believes in the most, and he will do whatever David wants him to do.

"I'm sorry, Yang. I apologize for what I just said, and I promise that I will never say such in front of you again in the future. ”

Derek's apology was sincere, because although he was a fool who didn't know how to learn, he knew the truth very well.

Now the strongest in the family is the brothers Alan and James, and when Alan is old, the person in charge of the family is likely to be Allen's son, George

Therefore, Lawrence's line should have controlled the Rockefeller family for more than ten or even decades, and he was a very mediocre figure.

In case David can't cover it one day, the only ones who can continue to cover himself with thoughts and feelings can only be Allen and James, two brothers, so these two people must not be offended, including James's son-in-law, Li Zhiyang

"Okay, it's nothing."

Li Zhiyang waved his hand generously, indicating that he didn't mind, and at this time, James interjected very appropriately and said.

"Zhiyang to be honest, I don't quite understand, why Obama? I don't want to talk about racism, but he's a black man, and if we bet on him, it's hard to guarantee that he'll win? ”

If you think about it, in its current form, the topic of a black man becoming president of the United States is crazy enough

However, Li Zhiyang had already prepared his answer at this time.

"Why not? What is speculation and what is risk? You must know that the so-called risk is often an opportunity, but it is accompanied by danger. In order to become a qualified speculator, then our requirements are simple, that is, everything is the smallest, but the return must be the highest. ”

Li Zhiyang said eloquently, when David and the others were discussing McCain and Hillary just now, Li Zhiyang was thinking about what kind of answer he should give if they asked him at that time.

Now Obama's form can be said to be not optimistic, the form of the election is not clear, he has not even been able to win the election from the Democratic presidential candidate, but it is at such a moment that the best time to bet

Sending charcoal in the snow is often more difficult than icing on the cake, but the rewards are often the most

Li Zhiyang's answer was very public, but everyone didn't say anything, they were all savoring Li Zhiyang's Chinese, especially David, he didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, David finally spoke up.

"My teacher at the university once taught me that if you want to be a good businessman, you must have a very good political sense, because the economic base determines the superstructure, and the brain above, in turn, affects the economic base. Zhiyang, I'm sure you have a very good political sense, but I wonder why you chose Obama and not any other Democratic candidate. ”

Political sniff? Hey bullshit, if Lao Tzu didn't think that he was a successful traverser, Lao Tzu would know what Obama would have, Li Zhiyang slandered.

But David asked him to give a reasonable reason to explain, and he had to be cautious, because every word he said could decide the fate of the country.

Such a feeling, for Li Zhiyang, is really... It's so cool

"If you look at the United States now, George W. Bush fought the war for eight years, and this war is different from the first Iraq war. In this war, most of the dividends were the chaebols, although we Rockefeller also got a lot, but I think everyone knows that it was Mellon and the Texas consortium that got the arms orders, and the ordinary people did not enjoy the war dividends they deserved, and now it is very similar to the situation of the Vietnam War, the people have not received anything except the casualty reports of their own children, so they are very dissatisfied. ”

Li Zhiyang said this, paused, and then continued.

"That's why we all have a consensus that the Republican Party has little chance of winning this presidential campaign. And now the most critical problem is this financial crisis, many American families have suffered hard, they have lost their husbands and sons on the battlefield, and now they have to lose their own homes, lose their pensions and social security They will live on the streets, no shelter, no adequate food, sick and can't go to the hospital, can only lie on the dark streets, wait for death believe me, David, as long as such people can reach five percent in the United States, then do you think a black person is elected president, Will it be a very important thing to micro-service? ”

Li Zhiyang asked David at the right time, it is true that if Americans are the most neurotic people in the world, it is not too much, they have a flood of sympathy, and they are worried about their future.

If 5 percent of Americans lose their jobs and then lose their homes and end up on the streets, it will soon be a mess

Other Americans are likely to look at the poor people on the streets and say, "Look at them, we are the first ones." ”

You must know that the United States has always been not lacking, and it likes to fan the flames of the media the most

David did not answer Li Zhiyang's question, but continued to lean back on the sofa and ponder. At this time, Li Zhiyang asked again.

"David, do you remember the slogan of the United States after World War II? This is a free world, where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their own career and become a successful person, as long as you are diligent and you have brains. So there are constantly people in the world, risking all kinds of dangers, trying in every possible way to come to the United States and realize their American dreamDavid Do you think that the word American dream is important for Americans and even other people around the world? ”

"Of course it's important, that's the spirit of America"

David's answer is categorical, isn't the history of the American Dream Rockefeller a successful American Dream micro-service? Morgan, DuPont, Mellon, think about these big American families, the ones who didn't come to this land with their ancestors empty-handed, and then made a piece of the world.

They are the representatives of the American dream, and once the American dream falls and falls to pieces on the ground, then the United States loses its attraction to the world

"But now, even a lot of American families have gradually stopped believing in their American dream, so we need someone who can change all that, and as a black senator with Obama, don't you think it's a good fit?"

Li Zhiyang explained with a smile, and when he explained this, the people in the room were silent, and everyone fell into deep thought

Indeed, Americans, what do they most desire right now? It's change, change everything, change their own terrible situation, their children working for the business oligarchs on the battlefield, and they themselves have to have their houses taken away by the banks, their jobs, and even their social security in addition to paying heavy taxes to the state

And at this time, the emergence of the black president with the slogan of 'change' is not just the right micro-service?

Even the president should be a black man from the white man in the past, what else can't be changed, and a black president, isn't it a good interpretation of the artistic conception of the American dream Micro service?

Look, a black man has become the president of the most powerful country in the world, isn't this a living American dream

What could be more convincing than that?

These words, no need for Li Zhiyang to say, a few people in the room will think of these, but that stupid Derek, Li Zhiyang can't guarantee whether he can figure it out.

Because he believes that the brain capacity inside his skull is only the size of a donkey's dung egg

"Smack. Syllable. Smack"

At this time, the room suddenly remembered a few clapping sounds, Li Zhiyang looked up, and David had already sat up straight at this time, not sitting on the sofa half-lying and half-leaning like before, at this time he was looking at Li Zhiyang and applauding.

"Very good, very good, really impressive, it's a pity that you weren't born in the United States, otherwise I'm sure you would definitely be the first Asian president of the United States."

David said with a smile on his face, and Li Zhiyang secretly wiped a cold sweat, President of the United States? Pull it down, you don't have that nerve, to be the president of the United States.

The taste of the president of the United States is really good, but unfortunately it is easy to die of overwork, think about that Clinton, who just stole a chicken, and was scolded by 300 million Americans for how long?

As soon as that guy got off the stage, he was found to have a heart attack, and I don't know if he was tired by the three thousand beauties in the White House, or because he was scolded by the Americans after the incident, it seems that the president of the United States is really not very good

And in this crazy country, the president is not so easy to be, in case you offend a certain bigwig, people really dare to send someone to kill you, whether you are the president or not, this is a free country

Think about how many U.S. presidents have been assassinated now? From Lincoln, to Kennedy, and the reagan who couldn't die, the president of the United States, is really a high-risk industry, and compared to its annual salary, this position is really not worth it.

At this time, James patted Li Zhiyang's shoulder vigorously, his expression was very excited, it seemed that he was also persuaded by Li Zhiyang.

And Allen, at this time, the eyes that looked at Li Zhiyang also changed from the one when they first met, and their eyes also softened like a very outstanding nephew.

And Derek, at this time, I don't know whether he understood or didn't understand, he sat honestly next to David at this time, and didn't make a sound.

"Okay, Zhiyang, since you have now proposed Obama as a candidate, we have just pondered it, and what you said is indeed very reasonable, but the matter will be left to Allen and they will discuss it in an internal meeting within the family. But I'm sure yours will be enough to impress those little bastards. But for now, I'd like to hear your opinion. That is, if we support Obama in heaven, what good will it do us? ”

David asked out loud again at this time, but Li Zhiyang was slanderous, what are you doing? Lao Tzu is not the brain trust of your Rockefeller family, and besides, when it comes to such things, you shouldn't be the most aware of micro-service?

Supporting a U.S. president, how much do you still do? What do you get when the president takes office, and I still need to say that? You're much more skilled than I am

However, Li Zhiyang's brain was still spinning quickly, trying to figure out what to say when the time came, because of this conversation with David, Li Zhiyang believes that this will determine his future status in the Rockefeller family, although he does not plan to become one of their members, but at present, he has not been independent, and there will be many places that need their help in the future

"Obama's slogan is change, and what Americans care about most at the moment is their jobs, and the war in Iraq, and their health insurance. So as long as he does his job in this area, then I believe that it will be a matter of time before he becomes president, but once he comes to power, what will he do, no one can say. Moreover, now that the financial crisis in the United States is raging, Bush will definitely leave Obama with a mess. When the time comes, I am afraid that after Obama takes over the administration, the biggest headache will not be to fulfill his promises, but how to revive the American economy, which will be the most important good news for us."

Li Zhiyang said with a smile, in fact, it was all some 'old' news that he had seen on TV in his previous life

"To the point, what do we get out of it?"

Allen said out loud at this time, he understood what Li Zhiyang said, and he was more concerned about what kind of benefits they could get.

"If GM and Chrysler go out of business, how much can we swallow? And in the Fed, how about expanding our influence a little bit? ”

Li Zhiyang looked at Alan with a smile and said.

Electing a president for the United States, are you happy? If it's cool, it's okay to give a few tickets???
