Chapter 51: The country changes hands

This is the real counterattack of the Republican Party.

It is true that the ** party controls the Senate, and people like Adams, the third and fourth figures in the Republican Party, can only be a deputy chairman of the budget committee in the Senate. Position.

But in the House of Representatives, that's Republican dominance.

Jonathan submitted a bill to increase military spending, and the Republicans could not stop it, but they went off the rails and put pressure on Jonathan from elsewhere.

You want to fight a war and want military spending, you can, but we also have to pass a bill to reduce the operating funds of your political axe and force you to stop the political axe.

This is the idea of the Republican Party, and it is also the most insidious strategy contributed by Traust.

Since 1976, the implementation of the congressional budget process, the political axe of the United States has been suspended 18 times, just the year before last, 13 years, President Jonathan promoted universal health care, as well as the affirmative action bill, the Republican Party launched a counterattack, controlled the House of Representatives, forced the political axe to stop.

After a year, the political axe of the United States may once again fall into a shutdown crisis.

Once again, the focus of the world is on the superpower of the United States.

Once the House shutdown bill passes, or judging from the current situation, the Republican Party is determined to force Jonathan, and the shutdown is almost settled.

In that case, hundreds of thousands of civil servants may have to go to work without pay or be forced to take leave, and the closure of various functional departments, such as immigration departments, national parks, etc., will have a huge impact on all aspects.

Although the relevant law stipulates that during the shutdown, some necessary political axe employees, such as the Department of Defense, such as military intelligence organizations, such as military personnel, such as the National Guard, must maintain normal operations and must be paid.

But wages can be delayed, and they have a significant impact on the war.

At least during the suspension of the political axe, the remains of soldiers killed in the war will not be able to be transported back to the United States, burial and other work will be stopped, and even the soldiers killed during the shutdown will not be paid pensions.

This effect can be big or small, after all, when the political axe was shut down in the past, it did not happen to be in the middle of the war.

But this time, coinciding with the war in the North Soviet Union, there are still a large number of casualties, and the closure of some political axe functions will have a huge impact.

On the eve of the House of Representatives' vote, President Jonathan, who had not appeared for a long time, finally made a public statement, and his indignant accusations made some Republicans stop in moderation.

"I hope they can stop in moderation, they are threatening the president of the United States!"

These are Jonathan's exact words, which shows the anger in his heart.

Come to think of it, this is the second time during Jonathan's tenure that the Republican Party has found fault with him and forced him with a political axe shutdown.

But the law is the law, and the House of Representatives will not hold this vote because of Jonathan's displeasure.

On April 9, three days after the Senate passed a bill to increase military spending, the House of Representatives held this important vote with the strong push of the Republican Party.

In the White House, Jonathan paced back and forth in his office like a grumpy lone wolf.

Of course, he knew that the Republican Party's plan was to force him to stop the war in the North Soviet Union and withdraw his troops.

Jonathan can choose to compromise, the bill is vetoed, and the political axe continues to operate, hello I am hello everyone.

Can Jonathan compromise? Of course not, not only can he not compromise now, but also within the ** party, they will not support him to compromise.

This is another partisan battle, and oneself will once again become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Condoleezza Rice, the chief of staff of the White House, hurriedly pushed the door open.

Jonathan looked at Rice for the first time, although he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for this bill to be vetoed, but there was always a trace of luck in his heart, feeling that the Republican Party might not really do things so desperately, leaving a glimmer of life.

Rice saw the eager anticipation on Jonathan's face, and his heart ached slightly, this time he was going to disappoint Jonathan.

Without speaking, Les pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.

Jonathan understood, sat back, his face full of disappointment that could not be concealed, and waved his hand for a while, "Let Miss Lynn prepare, gather the reporters, I will make a statement." ”

Rice reluctantly went.

Compared to the last political axe shutdown, this time Jonathan's statement was more rapid, without negotiations, and seemed to show an attitude, no compromise, if you want to stop, then stop.

At 12 o'clock in the morning on April 9, local time in the United States, just two hours after the House of Representatives passed the bill, Jonathan officially issued a statement to the outside world.

Facing the camera, Jonathan was still a little tired and disappointed, and he looked at the countless reporters below with a little indifference.

There was silence for a moment before Jonathan withdrew his gaze, announcing as if he were reciting a text.

"Good morning everybody, this morning, Republicans in Congress have chosen to shut down federal politics again after 19 years."

At this point, Jonathan paused, did not say anything more, handed the microphone to the White House spokesman, and turned away alone.

The lenses of the world's media have captured this slightly lonely and indifferent back.

……

New York.

Yang Hui was wearing a black trench coat, covering her full figure, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, stepping on high heels, and the sound of clattering footsteps, strolling through the streets of New York.

She is more and more fond of dressing in black, wearing hats of various colors, slightly covering half of her face, elegant, mysterious, and burying all the secrets deep in her heart.

With her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, Yang Hui raised her head slightly, her cold eyes attracted by the towering Statue of Liberty in the distance.

The symbol of the United States, the pride of New York, but with yesterday's political axe shutdown, it has officially closed, and millions of tourists have returned.

The ringing of the phone woke up the pensive Yang Hui.

When I took out the phone, I saw that it was Su Yaqiu calling.

"Ah Hui, I can't go back tonight, there are too many things in the company, there are several meetings waiting for me, damn it, what are you doing with the political axe, it's so good to play and stop playing, this time my sister has lost a lot of money." Su Yaqiu complained and hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yang Hui was silent for a moment and dialed a number.

"It's time to go."

After only saying a word, Yang Hui hung up the phone.

She subconsciously wrapped her body tightly, as if she felt a chill.

And Yang Hui's gaze gradually became confused.

She didn't know if it was right or wrong for her to do so.

……

As soon as the news came out, the first impact was the stock market.

The whole Wall Street is in mourning, the market is plummeting, everyone is trembling, this is simply a natural disaster for the financial markets.

For Su Yaqiu and the Tianyun Fund, it is even more of a disaster.

I don't know when the business of the Tianyun Fund has plummeted, and many investment projects have always ended in failure.

Although the Tianyun Fund has a certain red background, as the fund grows bigger and bigger, it also starts to operate as a commercial company with reading power, and the influence of the red background is getting smaller and smaller.

And now the suspension of the political axe of the United States will be a huge impact on the Tianyun Fund.

coincided with an eventful autumn and a natural disaster, Su Yaqiu really didn't know how long the Tianyun Fund would last.

In the past few months, in order to maintain the normal operation of the Tianyun Fund and remedy the mistakes of many projects, the Tianyun Fund has been heavily indebted and the crisis has become prominent.

coincided with the suspension of the political axe this time, and Su Yaqiu really didn't know how to solve this crisis.

In the headquarters of Tianyun Fund, meetings were held one after another, all kinds of bad news came, and the stock price seemed to have no lower limit.

Although the overall market is falling, the crisis of high debt of Tianyun Fund is highlighted.

If this continues, without the injection of new capital, the Tianyun Fund will go bankrupt.

For a week in a row, Su Yaqiu never left the office, made phone calls, held meetings, thought of one method after another, and had only one purpose, to save the Heavenly Fortune Fund that the building was about to collapse.

She didn't understand why a large consortium with a market value of billions of dollars would embark on such a predicament in just one year.

Is it because you are not capable enough?

Of course not, the former and current Tianyun Fund is under its own control, and it is thriving and has occupied a place on Wall Street.

What's the reason for that?

Su Yaqiu really couldn't figure it out, her stomach was full of grievances and bitterness, and she didn't know who to confide in.

After many years of strong woman career, she didn't even have a boyfriend, and she contributed the best ten years of her life to the Tianyun Fund, but it ended so bleakly.

"Maybe I'm really tired, it's time to let go and rest." Su Yaqiu muttered to herself, and for the first time, a woman's weakness appeared on her face.

At this moment, Su Yaqiu's secretary pushed the door in a panic, followed by several company executives.

"What, this...... How is this possible! ”

When he got the confirmed news from several people, Su Yaqiu's face turned pale as snow in an instant, and he sat back.

Someone shorted them in the stock market, and through various channels, they bought shares in the hands of minority shareholders, and now they own more than half of the shares.

The Tianyun Fund has changed hands and changed the dynasty!

Su Yaqiu knew that Tianyun Fund had a red background, and its shares were very complex, scattered in the hands of many interest groups in China, and after being listed in the United States, the shares were diluted and many shares of the United States consortium were added.

At present, the largest shareholder in the group only occupies less than 20% of the shares.

So who is it now, taking advantage of the company's debt crisis, to set up a bureau to steal control of the company?

Although Su Yaqiu is just a manager and does not have a dime of company shares, she is also extremely angry, this kind of thing is happening right under her nose, why didn't she notice.

"President, the new chairman is about to hold a board meeting, and you are also invited, I think you should prepare in advance, so as not to leave a bad impression on the new boss." The company's financial director carefully reminded Su Yaqiu.

This is a Chinese person, and he has seen too much of this kind of big company changing hands.

They are managers, and any change in equity is a big deal to change the boss, even if the new boss comes to power and fires them, they just lose their jobs, and it is not a big deal.

Su Yaqiu turned her head blankly, she was still immersed in shock.

After a while, Su Yaqiu nodded, took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and planned to meet the new boss.

In the company's conference room, all shareholders were present, and as the group's CEO and executive vice president, Su Yaqiu still occupied a place.

However, several shareholders looked at her a little unkindly, because in the past six months, the company's performance has declined, which is also related to Su Yaqiu's inability to stop it.

Su Yaqiu directly ignored these hostile gazes, thinking about the thoughts that appeared in her mind not long ago.

Maybe it's time for me to rest.

The new boss didn't keep everyone waiting too long.

The heavy oak door of the conference room was pushed open, and amid the sound of clicking footsteps, a woman dressed in black entered and calmly sat down in the reserved chairman's seat.

With a bang, Su Yaqiu sat up in shock, looking at this extremely familiar and unfamiliar woman in amazement.

"Ah Hui!" (To be continued.) )
