Chapter 280 The Federal Reserve

Victor stared at the new news on the tablet, and was slightly stunned for a moment, when Western was arrested, a Chinese woman actually appeared to have a difficult birth... This kind of was also encountered by himself.

is currently preparing to rescue, okay, done right, this woman's IQ is still there, Victor sighed, remembering what Lao Lei said just now, sure enough, with a dead bald head, everything is very different.

Clearly, the L.A. incident is a good opportunity, and at least one official humanitarian relief operation can be a powerful response to the bald head's suspicions about his side, although this would not normally be the case.

"Gotta find a way to tell this guy that we're rescuing his countrymen, and get him to pay attention to it, so don't threaten us again..."

"Headquarters has asked us to search for his whereabouts, and he's no longer where he was before." Peake turned his head and shouted.

Rhett didn't look back: "Then search, check the surveillance, and see if there are any cars driving abnormally nearby." ”

"One of our cars is missing." Peake looked at the screen and said, "I'm looking it up." ”

On the long street of Los Angeles, a black Ford SUV is whizzing through the wind and rain at a very high speed, bringing up a splash like a blasting wave.

The car I'm sitting in now belongs to the FBI, and even if you get a few hundred fines, someone will pay for it.

As for whether you can photograph the person in the driver's seat, it definitely can't.

Sean sat in the back seat with a relaxed face, Xiao Xue sat next to him, the California quail on his shoulder twisted his head slightly, constantly looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Brother, are you really going to Universal Studios?"

"Well, find some inspiration."

By the way, Disney is a little far away, so let's go to Universal Studios first, and the so-called inspiration is actually that Sean will go back and use it to deal with those food delivery soldiers.

Hmph, do you really think it's so easy to send me money?

…...

1600 Bing Street, Washington, White House.

Walking up to the second floor, after two checkpoints, Lao Lei pushed the door and entered the house, Donald was indeed having a video conversation with Yellen, which didn't seem to be so smooth.

"She doesn't want to?" Old Ray asked Ivanka, who was sitting on the side.

"It's a little worrying, these are all non-circulating versions after all." Ivanka sighed.

"We'll find a way to get him to keep this money back in the bank, he doesn't have to let it go, it can't appreciate!" Lao Lei said in a low voice.

Donald glanced up at him, obviously heard it, nodded, and said to the tablet: "This billion gold coin coupons are just for temporary use, you hurry up and do the process, we want it as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about the use of it, who will take 100,000 dollars to buy something... It can be recycled in a day or two, and I'll tell you about the specifics! Now this involves a major national security issue, you can't know. ”

Donald habitually leaks domineering, and Lao Lei has a pain in his molars after hearing it, can't this Nima be kind? What else do you say that involves major national security issues that you can't know?

What is a woman, Donald lived to be seventy years old, and I don't know?

A text message came to Ray's mind: Janet Louise Yellen, a Jewish economist and professor of economics, is now the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Born in Brooklyn, died in a video call, the direct cause of death - died by the president, and the indirect cause of death was curiosity.

Lao Lei hurriedly raised his hand.

"Wait a minute!" Donald cut off the call, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's possible for him to use, it's not impossible!" Lao Lei reminded in a low voice, "You can't use common sense. ”

Donald frowned: "I don't say that the dead woman won't lend it, can I tell her about being threatened now?" She has to promise me to support her re-election! ”

Old Ray exhaled, shrugged and sat back in his seat.

Ivanka handed him a reassuring look, Lao Lei was much more relaxed, maybe the two had a little tacit understanding, because theoretically, Yellen's stay really depends on whether Donald supports her.

Donald then called Yellen and said with a big grin: "Anyway, hurry up and get those gold coin coupons out and cooperate with a security operation." ”

Yellen's voice: "Mr. President, you can't give such a rough order, I need a specific reason!" The money you're asking for, the procedure says it's tax-collateralized, and it's a complicated process. ”

Lao Lei's face sank, if Yellen didn't buy it, then the matter would be hanging.

If you think about it, Yellen really can't buy it, if she doesn't have the presidency to do so.

Just like the Canadian Authority, the Fed is a public-private partnership. It is made up of the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C., and 12 Federal Reserve Banks, which are government agencies, and private organizations, which are located throughout the United States.

Therefore, in addition to performing government-related functions, the Fed also has more room for independence. The U.S. government does not have much control over the Fed, nor does it receive dollars directly from the Fed. The government needs to hand over the national tax revenue to the Federal Reserve as collateral in order to get the corresponding return, which is what Yellen said, if the president wants to get a billion gold coin coupons, he has to go through the process, and he can't get the money by opening his mouth.

"Listen to Janet! I can't tell you about it right now, but I can promise it's very important! You don't want to embarrass an American president on this, do you? "Especially at a critical time when he hasn't figured out whose advice the next seven years of U.S. economic policy should consist of!" Do you think I want to spend the money myself? Am I missing that? ”

Really... Donald will only use this trick, threaten, of course, such a threat as a tyrant president should be useful, but it is a bit unimportant to pay attention to the art of leadership, and sometimes it is easy to escalate the situation.

Lao Lei felt that his eggs were starting to hurt, and at this time, it depended on whether this woman's emotional intelligence was high.

Theoretically, it is impossible to sit in this position if you are not high, there are many economists, and there are a few who can be members of the Federal Reserve, let alone the chairman.

Yellen once served as president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and is also a professor emeritus at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and served as the 18th chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers during the Zipper period. What about matching?

Lao Lei can imagine the entanglement of the woman opposite.

Some say that the Fed's power to appoint and remove personnel is only a symbolic power of the White House. The rationale is that the Federal Reserve's Federal Reserve in Washington has seven executive members, each serving for up to 14 years, with two-year intervals between members.

That is, in a four-year term of one president, there is only room for two Fed executive members to be appointed.

In other words, while the president can appoint the chairman of the Federal Reserve, he cannot replace all the executive members with his own people.

This is to prevent any US president from being ambitious and thus vainly trying to control the Fed's policy direction with personnel appointments, but in fact, it is enough to change the chairman.

Yellen herself is the chair and can be in office for fourteen years, why did she choose to be laid off in four years?

Do you want to go to school and preach and teach again? So how can it compare to speaking out on such a high platform?

Sure enough, the next moment the tone of speech changed.

"Of course not, it's just that there aren't so many gold coin coupons here at the headquarters right now," Yellen's expression was a little helpless, "It's only 800 million, and the others are distributed in twelve regional reserve banks, so I need some time to mobilize." ”

"You prepare the arrangements right away, and then tell me the results." Donald cut off the call domineeringly, although nominally the Federal Reserve does not need to be responsible to the White House, but the president can still transfer a billion funds because of national security issues, anyway, this is a temporary turnover with collateral, as for what collateral to use, hum, a president is not worth a billion? The real estate under my name is tens of billions.
