As the director of Roosevelt's presidential campaign, Harrison received the largest political donation of only $25,000, and in his opinion, Li Tie, who was not an American, could donate 10,000 dollars, even if he claimed to be the richest man in the world.

But when Li Tie said that he was going to donate a million dollars, not only Harrison was stunned, but even Roosevelt was stunned, fortunately he was still in a wheelchair for many years, otherwise Li Tie was worried that Roosevelt would stand up excitedly.

And this was only the beginning of Roosevelt's surprise, as the discussion deepened, Roosevelt felt that he had been surprised more than he was today.

"Mr. Li Tie, what you said wants our Republican Party to promise to vigorously develop infrastructure after taking office, and I also know that it will provide a lot of job opportunities, and it will also stimulate a lot of related economies, such as stone, cement, steel, locomotives, hardware, and so on.

Li Tie was really surprised, whether this Harrison is a politician or an accountant, besides, even if you are an accountant, he shouldn't use an abacus that only we Chinese will use, right? In Li Tie's opinion, that thing is an artifact in the accounting world.

"I've calculated that as long as we build a direct railroad from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, it can bring at least nearly 200,000 jobs.

The number of unemployed people in the United States is 17 million, and the 200,000 people who are directly employed can be saved, plus the corresponding surrounding industries for the construction of railroads. We can put at least a million people into employment.

And we need about $100 million upfront to get started. Even if we work overtime, I'm afraid it will take five years to open the whole line. After the opening of traffic, only the locomotives and ancillary facilities along the line will cost hundreds of millions. Seeing such a big funding gap, Harrison opened his mouth in surprise, where are they going to get so much money.

"I'll pay." Li Tie said softly.

Harrison saw Li Tie's indifferent appearance and said again: "It will take another 100 million funds to build a high-end highway connecting the state capitals. After saying this, Harrison looked up again to see Li Tie's reaction.

"I'll pay." Li Tie still said very easily.

"It is also necessary to vigorously promote various kinds of such as unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance, and minimum labor security insurance, which will cost hundreds of millions."

"I'll pay."

"We also need to encourage all the unemployed to re-enter the workforce, we need to provide them with small loans, and now that the banking industry is in a normal recession, we need to inject at least a billion dollars into the central bank."

"I'll pay."

"It also takes a lot of money to build parks, green spaces, and leisure squares in hundreds of cities across the country." Haririn's breathing was already a little cramped.

"I'll pay."

"It takes ・・・・・・ to build stadiums and buy national fitness equipment across the country," Harrison has jumped out word by word. Li Tie interrupted him suddenly.

"Mr. Harrison, I think you should know that I'm rich! So I just want to say that anything that money can solve is not a problem. In conclusion, I will strongly support all the economic construction proposed by Mr. Roosevelt.

And I can lend you all this money in the form of interest-free loans to the Roosevelt administration, and in return for you, I have only one request. ”

Roosevelt, Harrison and others had long guessed that Li Tie would not lend them so much money from the U.S. government for no reason. However, when I heard Li Tie, there was only one request. Several people's hearts finally relaxed. It's just a requirement, how hard can it be?

"Oh, let's hear it." Roosevelt said happily.

"Whenever there is an unpleasant dispute between China and Japan in the future, I need you, the U.S. government, to always stand on my side, and my request is simple, right?" Li Tie said.

Roosevelt and his team looked at each other together, and everyone was stunned by Li Tie's economic combination punch, and they couldn't believe that Li Tie's request was so simple.

Roosevelt, who was afraid that there would be fraud in it, met for a long time, and he didn't find any traps such as contract fraud in it. But he still asked weakly.

"I would like to ask Mr. Li Tie first, when you say that we should stand on your side when there is a dispute between China and Japan, do you mean to stand on your personal side or on the side of your government?

You know, our government is now strongly supporting the Chinese Nationalist government, and if something really happens, and you and your government disagree, what do you think I should do? Roosevelt had to get this crucial issue to the point.

"Of course, based on China's opinion, I will not do anything that harms our own national interests." Li Tie said affirmatively.

"Li Tie, you are really a true patriot, okay! I can promise you, but I can only guarantee that during my term of office, we, the United States Government, will stand by your Chinese government. But I can't say for sure what I'm going to do. Roosevelt knew he was incapable of influencing the next president.

"It doesn't matter, it's okay with your assurance. I think with your ability, there is absolutely no problem in being re-elected as president of two or three circles.

By that time, the friction between China and Japan should have come to an end, so my commitment is still valid. Li Tie finally emphasized.

"In that case, Mr. Li Tie, I wish us a happy cooperation." Mr. Roosevelt took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Li Tie and Roosevelt shook hands again, a scene that was later written in their memoirs by Harrison and Pierce, respectively, and Harrison commented that this handshake was the handshake between two of the most influential people in the world.

The economist Pierce called it "a handshake about the revival of the United States." From then on, dignitaries from all over the world vied to shake hands with Li Tie for glory, because Li Tie's hand was later called second only to the "Finger of God" and was called "Li Tie's Hand".

"The Hand of Li Tie" has been named a proper noun by later scholars. It means that no matter who gets the help of Li Tie's hand, no matter how big the difficulties you encounter, they will be solved.

This meeting was of great significance, and it directly pointed out the way for the Roosevelt administration to lead the United States to take the lead in extricating itself from the economic crisis.

In the following two months, Li Tie and Tang Mengxue began to publicly declare their support for the election of Roosevelt as president of the United States, and personally voted for Roosevelt.

With Li Tie's help, the Chinese in the United States changed their previous indifference to their choices and began to actively participate, and almost all Chinese communities and Chinatowns were covered with Roosevelt's propaganda posters.

And every time Roosevelt arrived in a new state capital to canvass for votes, the black employees of the Peace Hotel always spoke eloquently about the fair treatment they had received at the Peace Hotel.

At the same time, these blacks vigorously publicized Roosevelt's measures to improve the treatment of blacks in the United States, and won unanimous praise from the majority of blacks.

And Li Tie's practice of treating all colored people for equal work and equal pay has been unanimously praised by colored people in the United States, and only two months after Li Tie arrived in the United States, Li Tie received many personal honors such as the father of freedom, black leader and so on.

The most exaggerated thing is that many black families have pasted Li Tie and Roosevelt's paintings and posters in any conspicuous place in their homes, and there is a trend that Mao Weiren and Zhu Weiren will enter thousands of households in the future.

And Li Tie, who has always made money, even put up thousands of huge photos signed by himself for auction in the upper class of the United States, and the result was that it caused a scramble among the rich in the United States.

An ordinary autographed photo was sold for as little as $1,000 from the initial price of $1,000, and the $2 million from the final auction was donated by Li Tie to a charity in the United States to establish the Li Tie Children's Foundation. won another piece of praise for Li Tie.

A few years later, these photographs became hard-to-find treasures and were loved by collectors all over the world.

Through the efforts of Li Tie and Roosevelt, the Democratic Party's support for Roosevelt has risen in a straight line. Soon it was close to Republican President Hoover. As the election approached, more and more people endorsed Roosevelt's New Deal reform proposal.

However, the Republican Party will not sit idly by, you will engage in equal pay for equal work, I will engage in minimum wage guarantee, you will engage in the construction of the National Workers' Communist Party, and I will engage in interest-free loans. You donate, I donate, I do free medical care.

In short, no matter what kind of bill Rothwenevelt proposes, the Republican Party will follow closely with a similar plan. All of a sudden, the election campaigns between the Democratic and Republican parties intensified, but the public support for the two sides was always the same.

Finally, a few days before the national vote for the president of the United States in the first week of November, when the Republican and Democratic polls were still evenly matched, a shocking news was announced by Rothwindevelt and Li Tie themselves.

That is, China Renaissance Investment Company will fully support the U.S. economic recovery plan led by Mr. Roosevelt, and China Renaissance Investment Company will lend $10 billion to the U.S. government in the form of interest-free loans.

And this money will be gradually invested in various construction projects in the United States over five years. What makes the American people most happy is that the American people do not have to pay back a penny of this money, and all the money will be returned in the form of exports to China.

In this way, Li Tie is equivalent to lending $10 billion to the United States for nothing, and buying $10 billion of goods from the United States in the United States. This has greatly increased the share of U.S. exports, and at the same time stimulated the recovery of related industries in the United States.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country rejoiced, and major newspapers rushed to report the photo of Li Tie and Roosevelt shaking hands.

This investment of 10 billion yuan finally became a huge weapon to defeat the Republican Party, and under the huge money offensive of Li Tie, the richest man in the world, Roosevelt's public opinion changed in a state of earth-shaking changes. Many voters who had previously supported President Hoover's re-election defected.

On the day of the American election in the second week of November, a large number of people voted for Roosevelt.

Opinion polls also showed that Roosevelt's support rate was nearly 20 percentage points ahead of Hoover at this time, and it was no surprise that Roosevelt won the election with an absolute majority.

When the election results came out, it was logical that the two post-electors would give their final election experiences, and Roosevelt first praised his opponent Hoover in accordance with the previous rules, then expressed regret for his poor choice, and then expressed a guarantee that he would lead the American people to a happy life in the future.

However, Hoover's final speech did not follow the previous rules, although Hoover also expressed his admiration for Roosevelt's personal ability. But in the end, Hoover expressed his grievances to Li Tie in front of reporters and listeners across the country.

That is, he did not lose to Roosevelt, but to Li Tie, the richest man in the world, so when he becomes an opposition party in the future, the first thing he has to do is to issue a proposal that "in the future big election of the United States, no party candidate will be allowed to accept political donations from foreign capital." ”
