Chapter 631: Participation in the 2008 U.S. presidential election
"Father, why do you pay so much attention to Zhang Ning, he is just a small international student. Even if he breaks the Harvard record, it only proves that he has some cleverness. There are many such people at Harvard, what is there to care about? ”
"No, I feel that this little guy is far from that simple, so let's check it out."
"Okay then."
Howard clearly sensed something, but still didn't rush to go against Buffett's intentions.
Half an hour later, Howard found Zhang Ning's information.
"Father, your guess is correct, this Zhang Ning is not just an international student."
After reading Zhang Ning's information, Howard had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The other party is a computer person, and it is obvious that he will not be interested in investment.
Like, if you ask Bill to speculate in stocks and Warren Buffett to do computers, that's impossible.
In this way, Howard also automatically excluded Zhang Ning from the opponent involved in the battle for Buffett's heir.
Zhang Ning founded a company called Penguin in China, whose products include instant messaging, search engines, and online games, which are very powerful in China. I don't know why, he actually ran away to Harvard and became an exchange student at Harvard. ”
"Oh, yes, I'll see."
Warren Buffett quickly checked Zhang Ning's information.
"I knew that this little guy was not that simple."
"I've already made a difference in China, so it's no wonder they turned down my invitation."
Buffett muttered to himself, a strange light in his eyes.
At this time, his interest in Zhang Ning has not decreased, but on the contrary, it has increased even more.
"Howard, let's look at the specific information of Penguin, including his annual report, as well as industry research."
"Ah, father, what is his company doing? Do you want to invest in this company? ”
"No, I'm just interested, you just need to find some information."
……
"Why did you come back so late today?"
Obama's wife, Michelle, looked at her husband at the door who came back late and said with a little reproach.
"Honey, something happened today, I rewrote a campaign plan in my office, so, it took some time."
"Rewrite a campaign plan, oh no, are you confused, it's a big no-no to change the campaign plan on the spot. Also, didn't you go to Harvard today to give a speech, why did you rewrite a campaign plan? ”
"Yes, today I'm going to Harvard to give a lecture. However, it was going to Harvard that made me change my campaign plan. ”
"My God, my dear, what's wrong with you, tell me about it, and I'll help you refer to it."
"Okay, I was about to tell you."
Unlike other American women or the wives of government officials, Michelle is no ordinary woman.
Born in 1964, Michelle has been a jaw-dropping female student since she was born. In middle school, Michelle attended Chicago's top Whitney High School, where she skipped from Year 1 to Year 3 and was ranked among the top students in school for four years. In 1981, Michelle attended Princeton University, where he majored in sociology and minored in African-American studies, graduating with first class honors in 1985 and receiving his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1988.
After graduating, Michelle served as assistant to the mayor of Chicago. She became an executive director of a non-profit organisation in 1993 and left three years later, raising enough money for the organisation to sustain the organisation for 12 years. He joined the University of Chicago in 1996 as Deputy Director of Student Affairs and established the University Social Services Center.
In 2002, he moved to the University of Chicago Medical Center as Executive Director of Community Affairs.
If this is placed in China, it is simply a goddess-level figure.
Even, Obama, who was mixed up in the ordinary way back then, also worked under Michelle, and fell in love with each other, and then got married.
As for Obama's entry into politics, it was with Michelle's encouragement and support that Obama was able to achieve today's status.
With such a school bully wife, Obama has always respected his wife very much.
"You're saying that the person who proposed it to you was a student from China."
"Yes, he's still your junior."
"Oh my God, how is this possible, how can a student who has not yet graduated, how can he understand so much political content."
Michelle had some hard to believe.
Although Zhang Ning's construction looks very ordinary, it only mentions tax reform and medical reform.
However, if these two points are really done with a lot of effort, it is really possible to make a double achievement.
In particular, these two pieces directly benefit the American petty bourgeoisie.
If these two pieces can be successful, not to mention the members of the US House of Representatives, even the president of the United States, they are qualified to fight.
"That's why I changed my campaign. That Zhang Ning was right, as long as we meet the needs of the petty bourgeoisie, then we will win the support of the people. Moreover, tax reform and medical reform do need to be further reformed. If I had taken the lead, it would have benefited more than 150 million Americans. ”
"Honey, you make me think about it, and I feel that a great opportunity is in front of you."
Michelle seemed a little agitated, and she calmed herself down. After a while, Michelle took three deep breaths, and then, looking at Obama, "Honey, have you ever considered running for president of the United States in 2008?" ”
……
"Running for President of the United States!"
The next day, Obama still felt that his wife's words last night were too shocking.
In fact, Obama did not dream of such a day.
It's just that Obama knows that because dreams are dreams, he will never be able to accomplish them.
Just like Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I have a dream, although his dream is so beautiful that it has spread almost all over the world, and in every corner of the earth, people remember such a great man, and he has a dream. However, I have a dream that I have dreamed for more than 100 years, and the United States is still deeply racist.
Especially for blacks.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, are both black.
In the history of the United States, blacks have been ten times more difficult than whites, let alone serving as presidents.
That's why, after Obama became an Illinois legislator, he became an idol for countless people.
It is because it is too difficult for black people to survive in the United States, and Obama's success is equivalent to a living inspirational blockbuster that continues to inspire people.
"My dear, if I do do this, we'll break American history."
The first black president in history.
When such a headline appears in the headlines around the world, Obama is thrilled to think about it.
It's just that, in addition to the excitement, Obama threw away the cluttered thoughts in his heart.
If it's a daydream, then it's a little less of a dream.
"Mr. Obama, here comes Mr. Buffett."
"Great, Mr. Buffett in, please."
Obama was overjoyed.
Warren Buffett is a strong supporter of Obama.
With Warren Buffett's support, Obama has also gained a lot of attention.
Almost as soon as the assistant briefed, Obama invited Buffett into his office.
"Mr. Buffett, I haven't seen you for many days, and it has been rumored recently that you are choosing an heir."
Obama made Buffett a cup of coffee, "The outside media is spreading the word about your heir." I just don't know how to speculate in stocks, and if I do, I'm afraid I'll have to die. ”
"Hehe, Obama, it seems that you are in a good mood today, and you actually played a joke on me."
"Yes, I'm in a good mood today. By the way, Mr. Buffett, are you here today? ”
"I'd like to introduce you to someone."
"Who?"
"This man is also a member of the Phoenix Club."
"A member of the Phoenix Club?"
Obama listened to it and seemed to pay some attention.
Even if there is any member of the Phoenix Club, it is very important to take it out.
It's just that most of the people in the Phoenix Club themselves think, how can Buffett introduce himself?
"Yes, that's right, he just joined the Phoenix Club, maybe you don't know, his name is Zhang Ning."
"What, Zhang Ning?"
Obama thought he had misheard, "Mr. Buffett, are you talking about Zhang Ning?" ”
"Yes, do you know this person?"
"I don't know if this Zhang Ning I know is Buffett, you know, this person is an international student at Harvard."
"Yes, that's right, it's him."
"Oh my God, Mr. Buffett, are you watching him?"
"Me?"
Buffett just wanted to say, but then shook his head, "My business is too complicated, let's talk about you." I was imagining that you introduced him, but you said you knew him, so tell me how you met him. ”
"It's not that I know each other, when I was giving a speech at Harvard, Zhang Ning mentioned it to me."
Obama briefly told Obama what it was like when he spoke at Harvard that day.
"No, this little guy is also so proficient in politics?"
Warren Buffett was even more surprised.
Originally, I thought that this little guy was a genius, but if you cultivate it, he is definitely an investment genius.
Unexpectedly, I found out after some investigation. Not only is this guy a genius, he also founded a large penguin company in China. And through Guò's research on penguins all day yesterday, Buffett can already predict that the future Penguin Company will become a super empire like Microsoft.
Just as Warren Buffett was about to recommend Zhang Ning to Obama, he didn't expect to learn from Obama that this little guy is not only a business genius, but also so proficient in politics. The little one was built yì, even he was greatly surprised.
"I don't know. Oh yes, Mr. Buffy, do you have any other good aspects of Zhang Ning? ”
"The rest, that's too much...... I think you should check this Zhang Ning's information first, and it's best if you can talk to him, maybe this little guy will bring you new surprises. ”
