Chapter 266: Roosevelt Asks

Roosevelt, accompanied by Director Hoover, entered Li Tie's presidential suite with the help of his assistant, and Li Tie and Tang Mengxue stood side by side to welcome Roosevelt's arrival.

"Welcome, Mr. Roosevelt! You get to make the contemptible and the Peace Hotel shine. Li Tie stepped forward and shook hands affectionately with Roosevelt, who was in a wheelchair.

Roosevelt also greeted Li Tie and Tang Mengxue, and introduced the people who came with him, pushing the wheelchair was his assistant, who was also his own health care physician, Mr. Donard, and the other behind, Director Hoover, needless to say, Li Tie was more familiar than anyone else. A balding gentleman is Mr. Harrison, the head of Ross's presidential campaign this time.

The other is the financial expert brought by Roosevelt, that is, Professor Peirce, a professor of economics at Harvard University in the United States, and the chief economic adviser of the Federal Reserve.

When Mr. Pierce was introduced, he also said very modestly that Miss Tang Mengxue should have been the chief consultant.

refused, so he had to take the position, but whenever Miss Tang Mengxue was interested in this position, she might as well talk to him, and he would immediately resign, and then personally recommend Miss Tang Mengxue to work at the Federal Reserve.

The humor of the economist Mr. Peirce won the favor of Li Tie and Tang Mengxue, and at the same time enlivened the atmosphere in the room.

Several people came to the living room together, Tang Mengxue poured water for several people, and everyone began a formal meeting after a short politeness.

"Mr. Li Tie, when Miss Tang Mengxue expressed to us that you would support Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy in the United States in the general election, our campaign team was greatly encouraged. Many days of worries have also dissipated, and we have been waiting for you for a long time. Mr. Harrison, the director of the campaign team, said happily.

"Thank you for your trust in me, Li Tie is just a businessman, and I never thought that I would be loved by my American friends.

But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a political leader in this sector of the Republican Party who can match Mr. Roosevelt, so why are people so worried about future elections? Li Tie asked.

"That's the case, Mr. Li Tie, if it was a few months ago, we really didn't take the Republican Party seriously, even if the Republicans put forward President Hoover to seek re-election this time, we have no doubt that our Democratic Party will achieve the final victory.

Because President Hoover was a man of great ambition and talent, he could not have been an opponent of Mr. Roosevelt. ”

Hearing Mr. Harrison so lash out at his opponent in front of outsiders. Roosevelt interrupted Mr. Harrison: "Mr. Harrison, the campaign has not officially begun, and now is not the time to canvass for votes, this room is full of your own people, so you don't have to lash out at our opponents."

Although I also think that President Hoover's administration has been a failure, if we need to put our opponents in perspective, we must now be in a global economic crisis.

Even if we are in his place, we may not be able to do better than him. It is also after his various failed measures in the past few years that we can only find a few specious experiences. ”

Mr. Harrison made Roosevelt embarrassed, and immediately apologized for his own caution: "I really apologize, I have been giving speeches on various continents lately, and I am used to talking about attacking the Republican Party." ”

Roosevelt looked at this classmate who had grown up with him since he was a child, and he was also a little helpless. But who made Harrison a more powerful member of the Democratic Party and a member of the Morgan family.

And this classmate of mine is really standing behind him and supporting himself. So Roosevelt could only reluctantly let him follow him, but he was afraid that he would make some jokes again, so Roosevelt decided to explain to Li Tie in person.

"That's the case, Mr. Li Tie, I came here today mainly for two things I want to discuss with you, first, needless to say, of course, I hope to get your full support for the general election.

The second is to learn from you, after all, it is recognized all over the world that your Huaxing company can make money, and I also want to hear your opinion and see what you think about our American economic crisis.

If you have a good idea, please do not keep it, as long as this idea really solves the problems of our United States, I hereby assure you that you will get the friendship of the whole American people, and the United States will be your home and your greatest dependence in the future. ”

"Yes, Mr. Roosevelt, my outlook on life tells me to treat friends with sincerity, so I have always regarded you as a good friend of mine, and I am and will be.

So if you have any difficulties, just say it, as long as I can help, I will definitely support you unreservedly. Although Li Tie wished that the United States would be a mess in his heart, on the surface he still showed great concern for the American people.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Tie, and let me start with my opponent, President Hoover. Objectively speaking, President Hoover's personal ability is very average, and his political ability and economic management ability are even worse.

He seems to me to be better suited to be an engineer or a professor, and he might be more successful than he would be president.

However, as the president of the United States, his contribution is still great. It's just that his luck is not good, and only a few months before and after he took office, a worldwide economic crisis occurred, which caused his public opinion to deteriorate day by day.

Nowadays, there are few people in the country who believe his words. That's where my main confidence in winning this presidential campaign came in.

But that changed two months ago, when President Hoover had provided Europe with a large amount of food and low-interest loans in the past few years, which had helped the poor post-World War I European countries.

So even if there is an economic crisis in Europe now, when these countries learn that President Hoover's public opinion has fallen so badly that it is basically impossible to win this election.

European conglomerates began to use their own connections, and the influence of their own expatriates in the United States, to interfere in our American elections.

With the strong support of their consortium and the government, President Hoover's public opinion rose by nearly 10 percentage points in a short period of time and continues to rise.

There are still two months to go until November's election, and if they continue to call for it, in another two months, when the presidential election really begins, President Hoover will probably actually be re-elected.

Because they have already admitted that the economic depression has been caused by their lack of experience in dealing with economic crises in the past few years, in fact, they are reflecting that our Democratic Party also has no experience in dealing with economic crises, and it is the first time that anyone has encountered the Great Depression in the world.

Therefore, their Republican Party directly admitted that they had no experience in coping, but instead pulled back a lot of sympathy points for them. Then the Republicans began to declare that they had found a solution to the economic crisis.

But if the Republicans are not re-elected, then these measures cannot be truly implemented. We in the United States will continue to be depressed. This has brought back some popular hearts for them.

In fact, although our Democratic Party is very capable of winning this election, it is also at a loss as to how to revitalize the economy. Because all the solutions seem to work, but none of them seem to work.

That's why I have to ask you for an idea. Because now you are recognized as the most economical person in the world. In order to move Li Tie, Roosevelt gave Li Tie a high-looking man, which really made Li Tie a little fluttering.

Who has ever been a sycophant of the future president of the United States? It's a pity that now it's not like the next generation, there are mobile phones that can record and video, otherwise, he must record this video and find another opportunity to post it on the Internet, and the click rate must not break through the sky.

"Oh? Let's start by talking about how European countries helped President Hoover?" Li Tie became interested, because in the history of the previous life, he didn't seem to have seen relevant reports of Hoover's superiority in his re-election?

"What else could there be? You know that the United States is a multi-ethnic country, and the most ethnic countries in the United States are the posteriors of the European countries, and now they are responding to the call of the motherland to vote for President Hoover, which makes me very passive. ”

Roosevelt said bitterly, and everyone around him thought it was a difficult problem.

"Is this hard?" Li Tie was a little confused, and thought in his heart, "Isn't it just pulling people?" Is it so strenuous? ”

"Isn't it difficult? Of the 130 million people in the United States, there are 30 million European immigrants, and the voter turnout is only half of each time, that is, 6,505 valid votes.

If all these European immigrants voted for President Hoover, where would their Democrats have a chance of winning? Harrison couldn't help but use detailed data to illustrate the problem.

"But as far as I know, we seem to have a lot of immigrants in Asia in the United States, right? Millions, right? Add to that the fact that there are more African and American immigrants in the United States, so why not fight for their vote of choice? Li Tie questioned.

"These two kinds of people rarely participate in politics in the United States, and almost every year's general election, these two kinds of people are just spectators, except for a very small number of them who participate in politics, and rarely hear of them running?" Harrison also remembered the issue of votes for people of color, which had been overlooked.

"I'm afraid it's not that they don't participate, it's that your government hasn't treated Chinese and blacks as if you were white, right? As far as I know, there are still many rights in your America that Chinese and blacks are not recognized.

For example, in business, school, work, etc., no matter how much money they pay, their children cannot go to the best private schools, but can only go to state schools.

At the same time, their daily life in the United States is also widely discriminated against. There are often police and hooligans who harass their lives, and the government always turns a blind eye to this.

Mr. Roosevelt, the United States has been founded for so many years, and it was precisely because of its black brothers that it won the Civil War, and the United States is so large that there are many places where labor will be needed in the future.

And if you want to get the U.S. economy out of the quagmire, it's just a matter of expanding domestic demand, encouraging entrepreneurship, encouraging consumption, and increasing exports.

And these things require a lot of manpower and material resources. And we Chinese are known for being hard-working and hard-working, so without the help of the vast number of overseas Chinese and blacks, it is difficult for you to pull the US economy out of the quagmire in a short period of time. ”

"Oh my God, Mr. Li Tie, are you really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? A few casual words you said made me "open my house". An excited Harrison even pulled out the Chinese idiom.

The economist next to him, Pierswin, fell into deep contemplation, and then he suddenly raised his head and nodded to Roosevelt vigorously, indicating that he very much approved of Li Tie's method.

Then Roosevelt humbly asked Li Tie for specific implementation methods for these things.

Li Tie was not polite, and took out the experience of his previous life and talked eloquently. Li Tie first said that he could call on all Chinese in the United States to participate in the general election through China's Hongmen and the Chinese provincial associations in the United States, and cast all his votes on Roosevelt.

As for the black brothers, it was even simpler, and they hired a large number of blacks at the Peace Hotel, and he would select some of these blacks who could speak well to accompany Roosevelt to various places to give speeches, and to proclaim to all blacks in the United States that you would be equal.

It also has to promote your commitment to promote equal rights for people of color in the United States when you come to power, and with your call, plus the presence of these black people.

Li Tie believes that these black brothers will vote for you. At this time, there were 18 million black Americans, accounting for 14 percent of the total population of the United States.

And Li Tie's proposal for equality of colored people finally made Li Tie get strong support from colored people all over the United States, especially black brothers.

From now on, anyone who dares to say even a word about Li Tie on American soil will be severely beaten by his black brothers. This will continue in the United States for decades to come.

Li Tie will also announce his public support for Roosevelt's campaign, and Li Tie can also donate some campaign funds to Roosevelt first. At the same time, Li Tie will also promote his and Tang Mengxue's economic ideas to all Americans.

Although there is no perfect economic concept in this world, Li Tie and Tang Mengxue advocated reform for Roosevelt at the same time, and some economists were found to strongly support it, I believe that the American people will definitely believe in Roosevelt's economic recovery method.

Hearing Li Tie's careful plan, everyone on the field was stunned, is this Li Tie a human being? It seems that no matter how difficult the question is, it is no longer a problem in his mouth.

Roosevelt, who had received the solution to the problem, finally relaxed, and Harrison suddenly asked, "Mr. Li Tie, first of all, thank you for your advice, you showed us the way forward.

Another thing I have to mention is how many dollars you plan to donate to our campaign. Their Republican supporters are all donations of thousands, 10,000 yuan. Harrison looked at him with a money obsessive.

Li Tie thought for a moment and stretched out a finger.

Harrison happily said, "Aha, you're so generous! $100,000 is the largest political contribution we have ever received. Harrison didn't care whether Li Tie only wanted to donate 10,000 yuan, he first set the donation at 100,000.

After saying 100,000 yuan, Harrison was still secretly happy in his heart, he had long heard that Chinese love face, and as Li Tie's status as the richest man in the world, he just regretted it, right?

And Li Tie saw that Harrison only shouted out 100,000 yuan, and Roosevelt and the others seemed to be very satisfied. Li Tie couldn't help but cry out in surprise: "One of my fingers means to donate one million dollars."

Do you think that I only donate 100,000 yuan, have you forgotten that I am the richest man in the world? If you donate less, it will make people laugh. "Li Tieyi, how can you look down on my local tyrant.
