Chapter 1080: Replacing the Governor and Crushing the Presidential Dream

……

In order to have a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere to celebrate the birthday of the richest man, the Tang family moved to China, and then brought many exciting entertainment activities.

Chelsea, for example, and AC Milan. In Yanjing and Hucheng, two games were played, which attracted a national carnival.

While the United States and the European Union are facing a new economic cycle, emerging economies such as China are almost unaffected and are about to usher in a period of explosive economic growth.

Therefore, the world's richest man comes to China for a vacation, and he has enough resources to welcome it.

By the time Tang Huan returned to the United States, it was already September.

The mess caused by the .COM bubble, the WorldCom scandal, the collapse of the telecommunications industry, the Enron incident, and a series of other "earthquakes" is almost what it was when it left in early August.

The incompetence of the elites in the United States cannot be blamed, but the situation is really rotten, and everyone is confused, so they can only deal with it step by piece according to the judicial procedure.

Fortunately, the United States is a superpower after all, and the stage is spacious enough, and it doesn't matter if this Wall Street tragedy is not finished, there are many places, and it will not hinder the US presidential election that has begun to enter a wonderful stage.

It's just that investors who have been deceived by Wall Street are crying without tears, and the sky-high resentment exuded by them is imperceptibly affecting the election trend.

After getting off Silicon Valley One, the richest man did not rush to leave the airport, but took a break in a café.

In fact, this is a cover, Tang Huan wants to meet a person, that is, Ralph Nader, a famous American political ~ political figure, who is also a lawyer, writer, and orator.

Ralph Nader, whose main areas of concern include consumer protection, the environment, and democracy~government, became well-known throughout the United States as early as the 1960s.

In 1965, Ralph Nader published a best-selling book called "No Speed Is Safe" to attack powerful automakers, especially Chevrolet, for showing how they focused only on commercial interests and neglected safety.

General Motors, which was stabbed in the lungs, hated to hire a private investigator to find Ralph Nader's handle, and even simply released a "beauty trick" in a fishing style.

Ralph Nader, a lawyer who graduated from Princeton University and Harvard University, was shrewd enough to quickly turn to Senator Abraham Rubikov of Connecticut.

Then, GM made a fool of himself by stealing chickens, and its chief executive, James Roach, was taken out, beaten up, and paid $425,000 for "violating privacy."

One year after the advent of "No Speed is Safe", the U.S. Congress passed the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act", which stipulates that if an automobile manufacturer finds that a car on the market has defects due to design or manufacturing reasons, does not comply with relevant regulations and standards, and may lead to safety and environmental protection problems, it must promptly report to the relevant state departments the problems existing in the product, the causes of the problems and improvement measures, etc., and submit a recall application, and after approval, the vehicle in use will be modified and repaired free of charge. In order to eliminate the hidden danger of accidents, there is also an obligation to let users know about the situation in a timely manner.

To put it bluntly, this is how the "car recall system" that consumers in developed countries are accustomed to at this stage has come about.

And for the sake of this system, Ralph Nader, who singled out the powerful automobile industry, will go down in history.

How did such a well-known "old-timer" look at Mr. the richest man?

The reason on the surface is that the Shennong Foundation has done many public welfare projects; The fundamental reason is that Ralph Nader, a descendant of Lebanese immigrants, has a similar situation as a "second-class citizen" to Tang Huan, and then sympathizes with each other.

In terms of political ~ political qualifications, Ralph Nader joined the Democratic ~ Main Party from the 1960s until 1991, when he joined the Green Party of the United States.

As the name suggests, the US Green Party focuses first on environmental protection, and also includes non-hierarchical democracy~ownership, social justice, respect for diversity, advocating peace and non-violence; After further formulating the guiding principles, it is the "Ten Ideas", namely, grassroots democracy~ownership, social justice and equal opportunity, ecological philosophy, nonviolence, decentralization, community economy, feminism and gender equality, respect for diversity, individual and world responsibility, foresight and sustainability.

Another difference is that the US Green Party does not accept donations from businesses, political ~ activity committees, 527 organizations, and does not accept paper money; At the same time, in the political ~ governance program and propaganda slogans, it strongly opposes any enterprise to influence or control the government, the media or society on a large scale.

In 1991, when the Greens, scattered in various states of the United States, voluntarily united to form a national political party, the influence of this obsession with non-electoral campaigns was weakened, and a compromise agreement was reached between the faction that believed that the political campaign itself was dirty and the faction that believed that the election campaign was an important driving force for social change.

But this clash of ideas quickly split the Green Party into two parts.

It is precisely because of this "idealization" that the US Green Party is destined to get few seats in the allocation of parliamentarians at the state and federal levels.

However, when Ralph Nader represented the US Green Party in the presidential election in 1996, the US Green Party received significantly more public attention in the United States.

Mr. The richest man and Ralph Nader have a close relationship, because they have taken a fancy to each other's role as a "-stirring stick" similar to that of Texas billionaire Ross Perrault in the 1992 US election.

Of course, this also invisibly reflects that the US Green Party's set can only be a slogan.

Ralph Nader has the same role in his role as a companion in the U.S. election, but he doesn't care, his participation is just to expand his influence.

After the richest man sat across from him, Ralph Nader cut straight to the point and said: "The WorldCom scandal and the Enron incident have exposed how many legal backdoors have been opened to large enterprises under the superficial economic glory of the Democratic ~ Democracy Party since it was in power for eight years, and how serious damage it has caused to social fairness. ”

Tang Huan said frankly: "I, who also belong to a large enterprise, have no position to be so critical. But I can't sit idly by and watch Al Gore ascend to the presidency. ”

"The Greens have a small absolute number of supporters on the Pacific coast, in the Great Lakes region, and in the Northeast, but they are the most committed and popular." Ralph Nader shrugged his shoulders, "But that's all, the Greens can't play a role in shaking even a little bit in the comparison of the power of the Democratic ~ Main Party and the Republican Party." ”

"Not necessarily." Mr. The richest man smiled playfully, "Just like in the Bundesrat, when there is a 50-50 vote, it depends on the decisive vote of the vice president and the president of the Senate, maybe you can play a key role." ”

"Is it possible?" Ralph Nader laughed dumbly, "Then I shouldn't have worked harder to get voters' support!" ”

Tang Huan bluntly suggested: "You should open up new areas of support for the Greens." ”

"There?" Ralph Nader asked curiously.

……

Mr. The richest man and his hand-picked "-stirring stick" for the US election ended after less than 10 minutes of concise talking.

Ralph Nader left first, and Tang Huan stayed leisurely for a few minutes before getting into the car and returning to "Chang'an City".

As a result, before the richest man had finished listening to the butler's report, the central control system came to the picture of John F. Kennedy Jr. coming to visit.

With Tang Huan's energy today, of course he was able to quietly let this "cheap brother-in-law" escape, and at the same time he was scared half to death, and then grateful.

Although the richest man did not want to see John F. Kennedy Jr., and at the same time deliberately kept a distance from the Kennedy family, this did not affect him, by saving John F. Kennedy Jr.'s life, in order to increase the variables in his favor.

John F. Kennedy Jr. came upside down this time, and Tang Huan could guess his purpose without saying it himself, which was nothing more than to rush to be the middleman between the people~ main party and the richest man to accumulate qualifications.

Sylary Clinton, the first lady of the United States, who originally assumed this role, is now sprinting for the position of Senator of New York, so busy that even the position of the first lady of the United States is temporarily handed over to her daughter Chelsea Collinton, who has taken a leave of absence because of her father's "zipper door" troubles.

By now, it is no secret that the richest man wants to oust the current governor of California, Gray Davis, and even the chosen successor, the son-in-law of the Kennedy family and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been almost guessed.

California is the stronghold of the Democratic ~ Democracy Party, and it certainly doesn't want to see this happen.

But the problem is that Gray Davis, who has offended Tang Huan to death, has been in office for more than a year, and his governance performance is really not flattering.

The first problem is the lack of response to California's power crisis.

This contradiction escalated to its highest point in June this year.

At this stage, California has a dry climate and high temperatures, but there are repeated power outages, and the people have been angry.

The second criticism is that Gray Davis has not been in the state for a long time, but the degree of spending is so staggering that it almost ruins California's finances.

But in the face of harsh criticism, Gray Davis was powerless to argue.

The root cause of California's power crisis can be attributed to the radical reform of California's power industry that the previous governor began to implement, but at that time Gray Davis was also an lieutenant governor; What's more, the main cause of the power crisis in California, the manipulation of electricity prices by out-of-state energy companies led by Enron, happened under Gray Davis.

At first glance, it may seem like a campaign promise to increase spending on education, but Gray Davis came from the lieutenant governor and can't be so budget-conscious.

Someone with a heart has released the data he has collated, and at the current rate of Gray Davis's spending, it will be exactly two years to deplete California's finances.

This corollary is so meaningful, because Al Gore has promised that if he is elected, Gray Davis will be the secretary of state.

Californians have every reason to believe that Gray Davis is "overdrawing" California's future in order to give himself glittering governing data.

You know, now is no more than in the past, after the bursting of the .COM bubble, Silicon Valley is like a wheat field ravaged by a storm, and technology companies are closing down one after another, which has begun to significantly affect California's fiscal revenue and employment rate.

In this way, how can Californians not suspect that Gray Davis puts California's interests below his own.

After all, everyone knows that Gray Davis betrayed the richest man who once supported him; There is nothing strange about betraying California again.

All this, in short, Tang Huan wants to oust Gray Davis from power, he has enough public opinion base, and according to the rules of the game, at the same time as this year's US election, the gubernatorial impeachment process will be started, that is, at that time, Californians need to process two ballots at the same time, one is whether to impeach Gray Davis, and the other is to elect a successor.

This incident has become a sarcastic joke that no one in the American political arena wants to talk about, for fear that it will be related to the Enron incident of manipulating California's electricity prices and dying if it is involved.

In this situation of no resistance, in addition to considering itself unlucky, the Democratic ~ Main Party can only hope that Mr. the richest man can suppress his anger in the next few months.

When he saw Tang Huan's little John F. Kennedy, as soon as he opened his mouth, he sent words of praise with great admiration, "Don, you are so powerful, you just threw a torch in your hand, and set off a sky-high fire, burning all your opponents, and fleeing for your life in all directions." ”

The richest man put the teacup on the coffee table, supported his hands on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said lightly: "Don't describe me as so mysterious and terrible, I don't want the nasty comparison of 'Fu Manchu' to have further bullshit evidence." ”

John F. Kennedy Jr. shrugged, "Not only do I admire it so much, but so does Uncle Edward." ”

Tang Huan said leisurely: "Then I can tell you, this is called 'Heaven can still live, but self-made evil cannot live'!" The WorldCom scandal, the Enron incident, did I command them to do it? At most, I just let them come together and explode. ”

"What about the impeachment of Gray Davis?" John F. Kennedy Jr. asked tentatively.

"If it's not bad, how can it be good?" The richest man said in a cold tone: "Gray Davis used his clumsy performance to tell the people of California that no successor will do worse than him!" ”

John F. Kennedy Jr. smiled bitterly: "Can you push this impeachment back, this year's situation is too delicate." ”

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!" Tang Huan replied expressionlessly: "Don't be coy, I know that even if you go back empty-handed, it will be a great achievement." ”

John F. Kennedy Jr. scratched his head in embarrassment, "Then in the next presidential election that enters the showdown stage, will you clearly call on the IT industry to stand on the side of the Republican Party?" ”

Mr. The richest man waved his hand lightly, and said lightly, "The contradiction between me and Al Gore is just a personal grudge, and there is no need to be so popular." ”

John F. Kennedy Jr. breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head regretfully.

Tang Huan looked at the other party and said playfully: "Don't worry, you haven't harmed me, if you intend to run for the presidency, I don't bother to waste brain cells to calculate." ”

John F. Kennedy Jr. laughed wryly, "Why should I hurt you? ”

At this time, the "Chang'an City", which integrates countless high-tech elements, reported another news: Warren Buffett's car has arrived at the door.

The richest man picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Okay, I think my statement is clear enough." Now, I'm going to deal with the fire you just described. ”

Seeing that Tang Huan had driven away, John F. Kennedy Jr. got up and said goodbye with interest.

……

When Warren Buffett saw Mr. the richest man, he also sighed with emotion: "Don, I completely understand what the consequences will be if you can't stop it." ”

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "So, did you accidentally hurt your allies?" ”

"Not really." Warren Buffett shook his head, "But Wall Street really got a big earthquake, and the merger of Morgan and Chase Manhattan was forced to run aground." ”

The richest man nodded indifferently, "Then take a break, I have other things to deal with." ”

Warren Buffett hurriedly said: "Don't, they have already decided to admit defeat and ask for another meeting as soon as possible." ”

"I'm not in a hurry to accept an apology." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Besides, if we meet so soon, we have nothing to say." ”

"Wait a few months, and it's not certain whether you'll be able to meet the original CEO or not." Warren Buffett cried and laughed: "Moreover, when everyone meets, there are still many important topics to talk about." In particular, Morgan and Citigroup have lost tens of billions of dollars in deposits. ”

The richest man said disapprovingly: "How can this money stump them." ”

Warren Buffett explained helplessly: "Don, don't pretend to be confused. Behind this is a serious credit drain. Moreover, these deposits are now in the hands of the West Coast consortium led by the Bank of America. ”

Tang Huan asked playfully: "Then after meeting, what will we talk about?" ”

"Of course, it's credit and financial bailouts." Warren Buffett directly opened his hole cards and said: "They no longer have any requirements for Zheru Group, and at the same time, while they are willing to return some of the shares of Zheru Software and Fangyuan at the current price, they promise to continue to help prevent the Department of Justice from splitting Zheru Software Company." ”

"If that's the case, then we can talk about it." The richest man bowed slightly, "I'll arrange the meeting place?" ”

"Of course." Warren Buffett immediately nodded in confirmation: "They are willing to come to the West Coast for an interview in person." ”

……

Beginning with the California Gold Rush in the 19th century, San Francisco gradually developed into the financial center of the West Coast of the United States. Montgomery Street, its financial and business district, is known as the "Wall Street of the West". And the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is also located in this area,

The Federal Reserve Bank of the 12th District of the United States is made up of nine western states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wassen, plus the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and Guam, and is the largest and most populous after the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

In the conference room of the Federal Reserve Bank headquarters building in San Francisco, the lineup of the big guys remains the same, but the younger brother below has changed from the East Coast camp to the West Coast camp.

The richest man who was the last to arrive casually asked at the door, "Do you all have comfortable chairs to sit on?" ”

"Nobody needs to sit in a folding chair." The answer that came out of the laughter made the bigwigs on the East Coast turn black.

After seeing this scene of division and confrontation, Tang Huan, who was secretly satisfied in his heart, walked to the middle position, sat down cross-legged, looked around, and nodded.

Fortunately, although this angle is as centered as in the conference room of the Federal Reserve Bank headquarters building in New York, it is obviously not besieged and beaten, but the real stars holding the moon.

William Harrison, Chairman and CEO of Morgan, Sanford Weir, Chairman and CEO of Citigroup, and others, calmly remarked: "Welcome to San Francisco, and it's a pleasure to see you again. ”

Some of the words in the conference room of the Federal Reserve Bank headquarters building in New York were still in their ears, and the bigwigs who had been met by Tang Huan all showed embarrassment.

Can you stop being so sassy and have to punch your face back!

Compared with the last time William Harrison was in the vanguard, this time Sanford Weir became the representative and was the first to speak: "Don, it's an honor for you to agree to meet us. Everyone's demands are already clear to each other. We can give you half of the stock back at the current price, while the promise to block the judicial part of the dismantling of Zheru Software is still valid. ”

The richest man shrugged his shoulders, "But I don't have that much money right now." ”

"You ......" As soon as he heard this, Sanford Weir was choked and his face turned purple and he couldn't speak.

Tang Huan explained innocently: "I really don't have that much money, and I donated more than 200 billion US dollars to the Shennong Foundation, and everyone knows it." ”

William Harrison couldn't hold back any longer, and interjected sullenly: "Even so, then Bank of America must have money. Together, Morgan and Citi have at least $20 billion in deposits that have gone to U.S. banks. ”

The richest man suddenly came to his senses, and turned to Hugh Michael, chairman and CEO of Bank of America, and suggested: "Although technology stocks have plummeted now, the stocks of Zheru Software, Fangyuan and other companies are still extremely valuable, are you willing to buy them?" ”

"Of course." Hugh McAel smiled: "This deal is still quite attractive. However, the conditions need to be discussed again. ”

Tang Huan's gaze turned to Sanford Weir, "I've already helped you match, it should be considered as completing the task, and there is nothing to do without me." ”

Seeing the way the richest man got up to leave, Sanford Weir was dumbfounded and said, "Don, you don't have anything to say to us?" ”

Tang Huan thought for a while, and then said sincerely: "There really is." If you are still willing to serve the industry after retirement, welcome to us. ”

Sanford Weir, who was surging with blood and dazzled eyes, almost couldn't help but slap himself with his backhand, "Why am I so bad?" Isn't that self-inflicted? ”

Mr. The richest man no longer paid attention to these old guys, and with a faint mockery on the corner of his mouth, he went straight out of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Of course, this account is not over, but you can wait a few more years to eliminate the hidden dangers in politics ~ governance first.

……

For the first time, the most advanced multimedia technology was used to animate the electronic map containing 50 states in the United States, vividly using red to represent the Republican Party's victory in a certain state, using blue to represent the Democratic Party to determine the victory in a certain state, and using blue to represent the Democratic ~ Mains Party to determine the victory in a certain state, and white to represent the undecided result.

The media joked about this: "Such an intuitive form of expression is a benefit for everyone by Don." ”

Compared with US Vice President Al Gore, who is almost unchallenged by almost no one in the Democratic ~ Democracy Party, the Republic~ Party can be described as a competition for the current.

In addition to Texas Governor Bush Ten Jr., there are Senator John McCain of Arizona, Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs Alan Keys during the Reagan era, Forbes Magazine owner Steve Forbes, Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, Vice President Dan Quill during the Bruce Era, Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander during the Bruce Era, and John Keswick, a member of the House of Representatives. Herman Kane, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, and more than a dozen other people, all of whom are more senior than Xiaobu.

Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. At this time, the power of family learning is revealed. Even if the talent is average, but with the guidance of a famous teacher, you can avoid detours; With the support of the family, you can afford to play the money-burning game of the general election.

As a result, the Republican Party's struggle for the nomination quickly became a wrestling between Boo Shi and John McCain.

John McCain, a diplomatic hawk who has repeatedly made things difficult for China on the Diaoyu ~ Island and South China Sea ~ issues a few years later, has a family background no worse than Xiao Bu Shi, his father and grandfather are both American admirals, and he himself is a Vietnam War veteran, and he became a hero because of his "heroic and unyielding" during his captivity.

With these countless legendary experiences alone, John McCain is not comparable to Xiao Bu Shi, and naturally, his momentum is much better than Xiao Bu Shi.

However, John McCain himself made several fatal mistakes and began to fall behind.

For example, during the competition in South Carolina, George W. Bush's team targeted John McCain, who adopted a daughter from Bangladesh, and targeted Southern conservative Republican voters, and launched a fake telephone poll to find out if John McCain had a mixed-race illegitimate daughter with a black woman.

As a result, this smear was so successful that John McCain was at a loss for words.

In Virginia, John McCain made another fatal mistake by criticizing some prominent evangelical figures in his speech.

For this, John McCain had to apologize.

In addition, during the capture of the Vietnam War, John McCain, who received a lot of "warm care", kept using insulting words and calling Vietnamese people with a grudge, which in turn spread his influence and caused dissatisfaction among the Asian community.

In order to get a good election in California, John McCain compromised again against his will.

By contrast, more than a decade ago, he began to study the Bible and Christian publications, and participated in church reading groups and discussion groups, eventually becoming a "born-again Christian." With the "prodigal son's return to the gold," he tickled the itch to attract the support of a large number of conservative Christians and evangelical voters who were crucial to the outcome of the election.

In this way, in the end, John McCain, who had a bright resume, was abandoned, and Xiao Bu Shi, who successfully created an honest and credible public image, got the Republican ~ Nominee qualification, and faced off with Al Gore.

Among the runners, in addition to Ralph Nader of the Green Party, there is also Patrick Buchanan, who worked against Lao Bu Shi during the era of Lao Bu Shi. He withdrew from the Republican ~ Republican Party and represented the Reform Party.

The remaining foil roles are really not worth mentioning at all.

The Democratic ~ Democracy Party pressed Al Gore, and it did make sense, until October, the vice president of the United States, was ahead of his rivals, and the electronic map used by major news networks to deduce predictions was blue.

For this reason, many current affairs commentators quipped meaningfully, "Tang's high-tech is really useful." ”

……

Following the wishes of her mother and daughter, Christina, she finally successfully participated in the Olympic Games and won the gold medal in sailing at sea, and then was hailed as "Athena of Greece" by the Greek media, and was accompanying her father Tang Huan to watch the U.S. election.

Pointing to the screen, Athena, who had already taken off her baby fat and became a beautiful girl, said worriedly: "Dad, your old rival, the election situation is very good." ”

"The best show was in the month before the election. No matter what is unthinkable, it will happen. "The richest man with a determined demeanor patiently pointed out the only daughter of the Tang family.

Although Al Gore is currently in a clear leading position, in Tang Huan's eyes, there are many fatal points.

For example, Al Gore, a self-proclaimed environmentalist, has really touched the traditional interests of the United States on the card of environmental protection, which he is best at.

You know, not to mention industry and commerce, just in terms of life, the United States is the world's largest waster of food and energy. If we can save this part and put it in the African region, maybe how many people who are hungry and cold can be saved.

With regard to the Kyoto Protocol, which was formulated at the Third Meeting of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Kyoto in December 1997, the US Senate voted 95 to 0 months ahead of schedule to pass a bill that blocked the United States' acceptance.

But US Vice President Al Gore, who participated in the negotiations, still signed symbolically.

US President Bill Clinton did not dare to submit the treaty to Congress, considering that the Senate would not be able to pass the treaty.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that Al Gore is now popular among ordinary voters, but he is not welcomed in front of the forces that really have the right to speak.

Gaine, the United States simply can't do it. Otherwise, more than ten years after the original time and space, the government ~ government of Telangpu would not have insisted on withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement.

Since he can't do it, Al Gore, who has been too detached from the public on the right path of politics ~ governance, still has to accept it, which doesn't make everyone's life sad.

Xiao Bu Shi, on the other hand, is unequivocally opposed to accepting the "Kyoto Protocol."

In this way, the difference between the two sides comes out.

Another example is Al Gore's 1991 Gore Act, which opened the curtain on the construction of the American information superhighway by proposing the "Gore Act" by himself, claiming that he invented the Internet.

Now it's a lot of fun.

Everyone can understand your political achievements, but you can't talk about it!

Even Tang IT didn't dare to take credit so much, just described as leading the development of the World Wide Web, you dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven?

Because of this, Al Gore has been criticized by the academic community and has been used as a laughing stock by the media from time to time.

There are still a lot of negative problems like this, and they will definitely erupt in the decisive stage.

At this time, it is far from enough to rely on the personal charm of the candidate, but also to see whether the campaign team behind it is not powerful. And the foundation of Xiao Bu Shi is deep here.

In the end, the richest man said lightly: "How can we blow the enemy to an unforgettable heartache?" It is when he feels his best that he suddenly kills his hope. ”

Athena giggled, "Dad, how do I feel so cold and sinister about you?" ”

……

Since the beginning of October, the contenders who are interested in running for the presidency of the United States have made great efforts to show their housekeeping skills, and their speeches alone have become more and more exciting.

Ralph Nader, who switched from the Democratic ~ Main Party to the Green Party, has become a "bomb" although he is an insignificant third-party candidacy camp.

His speech at Madison Square Garden in New York City attracted 15,000 people who were willing to pay $20 for a ticket.

When he saw Ralph Nader's impassioned denunciation on the screen that Al Gore and Little Bu Ten were a pair of "twin brothers" who served the interests of big business, Mr. The richest man couldn't help but laugh.

There is no way, this is no desire is rigid, and then you can speak freely without pressure.

Not to mention, the more than 10,000 listeners gathered at Madison Square Garden ate this set and erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers.

But the real highlight was the three televised presidential debates at the University of Massachusetts, Wake Frost University, and Victor Shield University in St. Louis.

Because Texas billionaire Ross Perrault had been so fierce in the 1996 campaign that the Presidential Debate Committee set a new rule that the third candidate had to reach 15 percent approval in the national polls before he could participate.

After three debates, Al Gore's lead in the polls fell from 11 percent to single digits.

The reason for this is that Al Gore, as a veteran politician, is accustomed to the old bureaucratic mistakes, showing arrogance in the debate scene, and often avoiding the main points when answering questions, and as a result, the impression is greatly reduced.

On the contrary, he described himself as a "sympathetic conservative", and in the process of claiming to restore the glory and self-esteem of the White House, which was disgraced by the current US President Bill Collinton's zippergate, he had a clear attitude and was very popular with his "short and fast".

This is the American election, full of all sorts of entertaining flips.

……

On November 7, the time for the submission of papers arrived.

Californians are busier than in other states, as they have to deal with presidential ballots and congressional re-election ballots as well as two votes to impeach incumbent Governor Gray Davis and elect a new governor.

And this result was also the quickest, and Gray Davis was spurned by Californians without any suspense; Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Schriever, the star couple, smiled and waved their arms amid the cheers of supporters.

This also means that Gray Davis, who once made a comeback to become lieutenant governor after failing to run for the U.S. Senate of California in the early 1990s, has really ended his career.

Even if Al Gore wins the election, he will not be able to deliver on his promise to make a former governor ousted by the populace as secretary of state.

Mr. The richest man behind the scenes, no longer paying attention to this "dust of history", first called the first lady of the United States, Silary Clinton, to congratulate her on her successful election to the U.S. Senate of New York, and then turned his attention back to the U.S. election.

……

This year's US presidential race is really too tense and fiercely contested.

The major television networks, as well as various outdoor and indoor large screens, are all electronic administrative maps of the United States like video games.

As each block representing the state is lit up, either red or blue, the nation erupts in a seismic cheer from supporters of their respective camps.

Al Gore walked frantically back and forth in his campaign office. He didn't expect that he would fight so hard with a "gentleman".

Especially the news that just came made Al Gore more and more depressed, and Gray Davis was really impeached and removed from office.

Al Gore really couldn't understand how Tang Huan did this. And how this opponent will prevent himself from ascending to the presidency is still unknown until now.

Thinking about it like this, the pressure in Al Gore's heart unconsciously became a little heavier.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before an encouraging news came. California, the stronghold of the Democratic ~ Democracy Party, was finally saved, and Al Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Al Gore's mood fell to the bottom like a roller coaster, and his hometown, Tennessee, fell.

Looking at the electronic map, the block representing Tennessee turned red, and Al Gore's face also turned red.

Tipper Gore comforted her husband by saying, "It's okay, we're still in the lead." If this was Don's handiwork, it would be even better. ”

Al Gore, who calmed down, nodded, "Yes, if this is his handiwork, then everything will be clear, and there is no need to be suspicious anymore." ”

Speaking of this, Al Gore snorted disdainfully, "But that's it! ”

……

The results of this year's U.S. election have exposed some loopholes in this system.

Al Gore won the popular vote, with more than 500,000 more votes than Bou. 10; But in the decisive electoral vote, Xiao Bu 10 won by 271 votes to 266.

Although there is still one electoral vote that has not been cast, it has no effect on the final result.

It has to be said that this is the subtlety of the design of the electoral vote against the possible populist flood.

Not to mention that Al Gore felt that he had lost unjustly, the Democratic ~ Democracy Party was the first to disagree.

Obviously, we won the hearts of the people, but why did we lose in the end?

Hurry up and check, where is the last straw that broke the camel's back?

First of all, Florida was brought out, and Booshi only had more than 2,000 more popular votes than Al Gore here.

If you do a little more in-depth calculation, you will find that Ralph Nader, who switched from the Democratic ~ Main Party to the Green Party, actually got more than 100,000 popular votes in Florida.

When Al Gore learned of this result, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Obviously, Ralph Nader is stealing the votes of the Democratic ~ Lord. Even if only a few percent of them stay, they can defeat Xiao Bu Ten.

The Democratic ~ Democracy Party is also unbalanced, and many people accuse Ralph Nader of playing a dishonorable role.

Ralph Nader rightly retorted: "If you don't have a problem with yourselves, I will get the votes?" ”

Seeing this scene, the Republican Party ~ almost laughed gloatingly.

In 1992, when Lao Bu Shi was trying to be re-elected, it was because of Ross Perrault, a "-stirring stick", that he stole a lot of votes in Texas, and had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

It was useless to tear each other apart like this, and the Democratic~Democrat Party turned to demand a recount in Florida.

Every state has mistakes, and Florida will certainly be no exception, and maybe it will be able to invalidate more than 2,000 votes from the top 10 of the small cloth ten.

Florida responded to this request and recounted, and as a result, the lead of the 10th fell to a few hundred votes.

The victorious Democratic ~ Main Party has become even more energetic, and has found a possible reason for a reversal, that is, the ballots in Florida are designed to be butterfly-shaped, which is very easy for voters to fill in the wrong place.

Hurry up, expand the range and continue to re-check!

Now it's lively, Florida Governor Jeb Bushi avoids suspicion and can't express his position, but the secretary of state, who is also a Republican ~ Republican, has no need to scruple and resolutely opposes it.

The Democratic~Lords continued their activities unrelentingly, resulting in the Florida Supreme Court ruling in favor of Al Gore.

Xiao Bu Shi couldn't suffer this loss, and immediately appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.

As a result, the Federal Supreme Court ruled in favor of Xiao Bu Shi.

The Democratic ~ Socialist Party was still not convinced, so the presidential election of the world's largest power, for more than a month after the election date, there was still no result, and the Florida State Government, the Florida Supreme Court, and the Federal Supreme Court played ball.

In the end, Al Gore, who could not withstand the pressure, declared against his will that although he was dissatisfied with the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, for the sake of the unity of our people and the strength of the people~Lord, I made concessions and accepted the relevant ruling.

In this way, the 2,000-year-old U.S. election was finally closed, and Xiao Bu Shi was elected as the next president.

The depressed Democratic ~ Lord, I want to ask Mr. the richest man: Did you find Ralph Nader's "-stirring stick"?

Lehaha's Republican Party also wants to find Mr. the richest man to express his gratitude: Don, well done, Ralph Nader's "-stirring stick" is really powerful!

But they soon realized that there was still no conclusive evidence that Mr. the richest man had exerted influence on the US election, and there was no reason to come to the door at all!

When he briefed the media on the future policy measures, he made it clear that in view of the obvious downturn in the US economy, it is not appropriate to continue to discuss the monopoly of Zheru Software Company.

As soon as this news came out, the stock price of Zheru Software suddenly rose against the trend in the decadent stock market.

The financial institutions on the East Coast of the United States commented with laughter and tears: "It has finally risen, thanks to Mr. President for his wise decision." ”

……

Zheru Software Company was spared the doom of being broken up, and the mood of the richest man obviously improved, which can be seen at the presidential inauguration ceremony of Xiao Bushi.

Tang Huan also gave a speech to encourage the IT industry, and the bursting of the bubble is not an inevitable adjustment, and the Internet has entered the 2.0 era.

Mr. The richest man has more than 20 years of leadership qualifications in Silicon Valley, unparalleled, and the fear of self-endangerment caused by the bursting of the bubble and the collapse of the global telecommunications industry has finally been alleviated.

On August 8, 2001, when Tang Huan celebrated his 46th birthday, the world seemed to have finally calmed down.

The next day, Nikosh Arola, president of Zheru Software, sent a document inviting Tang Huan to attend the cloud computing service seminar held by Zheru Cloud Computing Services Company at the World Trade Center in New York on the 11th of next month.

The richest man nodded at the A-San executive recommended by Morgan and Citi, "I'll try my best to arrange this itinerary." ”

Waiting for Nikosh Arola to turn away, Tang Huan stared at the document on the table, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

……

PS: Relieved, the book is finally finished. I thought I would be very calm, but I still couldn't avoid the ups and downs of the vulgar.
